Many children, many blessings; the twelve ancestral witches forced marriages throughout the primordi

Not long after Haotian left, news came from Xiqi again.

This time, it's not good news.

"My lord!" Jiang Ziya's communication talisman burned in front of Lin Xuan, his voice urgent, "That plague... has mutated!"

"What's going on?" Lin Xuan's face darkened.

"The boiling water and lime spraying had brought the situation under control. But last night, those patients who had been recovering suddenly went berserk! Their eyes turned bloodshot, and they bit anyone they saw, with incredible strength. Those bitten soon became like that themselves."

"Furthermore... I sensed an evil sacrificial aura. Someone is using living people as sacrifices to enhance the poison!"

Lin Xuan suddenly stood up, his eyes filled with a palpable killing intent.

"Western religion...you are courting death."

This is no ordinary plague; it's turning humans into zombies!

For the sake of that little bit of luck, Zhunti actually dared to use such a method that would cut off his lineage?

"System, analyze the source of the toxin."

[Ding! "Mutant Corpse Poison" detected. Source: Refined by Western Cult Arhats using "Ten Thousand Poisons Source Liquid" fused with the vengeful souls of mortals.]

[Urgent mission issued: Protect Su Daji.]

[Mission Description: The host will dispatch Su Daji to Xiqi for disaster relief, but the Western Sect has laid an ambush, intending to kill the Minister of Commerce of the Shang Dynasty and cut off the Shang's financial resources.]

Lin Xuan glanced at the mission and sneered.

"Trying to harm my people?"

He turned to look at Su Daji, who was organizing the account books.

"Daji".

"My lord?" Su Daji raised her head, a hint of doubt on her beautiful face.

"Something's happened in Xiqi. I need you to take a batch of supplies and set off immediately." Lin Xuan's tone was serious. "This isn't just simple disaster relief; it's a war."

Without the slightest hesitation, Su Daji put down her pen, her eyes instantly turning sharp.

"How many people do we need to bring?"

"Take the Ministry of Commerce's security detail with you, and... take this too." Lin Xuan flipped his hand and stuffed a handful of jade talismans into her hand.

"These are explosive talismans. If you encounter any that seem suspicious, just throw them away. Don't be stingy."

"Yes!" Su Daji took the item, turned and left, her back view showing a dashing and heroic figure.

……

On the official road leading to Xiqi.

Su Daji rode a fiery red spirit beast horse, followed by a long caravan. The carts were loaded with herbs, spirit rice, and a large amount of... glutinous rice (Lin Xuan had specifically instructed them to bring it).

The convoy arrived at a canyon.

The terrain here is treacherous, with cliffs on both sides.

Su Daji suddenly pulled on the reins and raised her hand: "Stop!"

"Minister, what's wrong?" Hu Ximei asked from the side.

"It's too quiet." Su Daji squinted at the canyon in front of her. "Not even a bird chirping. And... I smell a nauseating stench."

It was the smell of sandalwood, a scent unique to Western religions, mixed with the smell of rotting corpses.

Just then.

"Amitabha."

A Buddhist chant echoed above the canyon.

Eighteen Arhats, dressed in golden robes and wielding knives, descended from the sky and blocked the way. The one in the lead was none other than the Dragon-Taming Arhat, the senior disciple of Moke who had been driven away earlier.

"Female benefactor, this road is blocked." The Arhat Subduing Dragon looked at Su Daji with a forced smile. "This humble Taoist sees that you have a lot of supplies on your cart. Why don't you donate them to my Western Religion? It would be a meritorious deed."

Su Daji sneered and took the huge golden abacus off her horse.

"Merit? You bunch of bald monks dare to talk about merit?"

"Now that you're here, you're not leaving."

Su Daji flicked her fingers across the abacus.

"All personnel on high alert! Prepare for battle!"

The Arhat Subduing Dragon laughed heartily: "A mere little demon dares to fight an Arhat? Form the formation!"

The eighteen Arhats instantly dispersed, their golden light merging into a giant golden dome that trapped the entire convoy within.

However, Su Daji did not panic.

Looking at the golden light filling the sky, a mocking smile, reminiscent of Lin Xuan's, curled at the corner of her lips.

"The adult is right, villains always die from talking too much."

She suddenly crushed a jade talisman in her hand.

boom!

In the sky, the once clear clouds suddenly turned purplish-black. A terrifying aura, enough to make the souls of the eighteen Arhats tremble, was rapidly descending.

"That is..." The Arhat Subduing Dragon's expression changed drastically.

"That's your death warrant." Su Daji's abacus vibrated, and countless abacus beads, accompanied by a whistling sound, shot towards the group of bald men like a torrential rain.

"Today, I'll collect this messy debt on behalf of the adults!"
