Mutated Tao

Zhao Wu was afraid, his teeth chattering uncontrollably. His face had turned green from fright.

Zhao Wu's fear was reasonable. It was one thing to mistake the burial clothes for ghosts, but there was no way he would see a walking bloody sack and treat it as a regular object. It was a real ghost!

“There’s… there’s… there’s…” Zhao Wu was about to shout, but Puppy swiftly silenced him by placing his hands over Zhao Wu's mouth.

“Quiet! It has no eyes, so it can’t see us,” Puppy whispered urgently.

Zhao Wu stared at the bag with unmoving eyes as he heard Puppy’s whisper. Puppy was right. The sack somehow ignored them, continuing to hop and leap.

“Quickly! We must run and call everyone!”

Both of them quickly ran back.

At that moment, a muffled voice emerged from the sack, making them tumble as they ran while shivering uncontrollably.

They got away quickly and promptly returned with reinforcements. Almost everyone in Cowheart Village followed behind them, holding brightly lit lanterns.

“Quick! Follow the trail of blood! That thing is just in front of us!”

Puppy was holding onto his needle wrapped in a white tassel. He felt much more confident with it.

The villagers followed him, a murderous aura radiating from the village militia as they gripped their weapons. Yang Xiaohai trailed behind them, holding his scepter.

It could be said that they had mobilized the entire strength of the village.

If they could not fight against the ghost with this, they would have to send someone out to call for reinforcements in Shangjing.

Their torch and lanterns suddenly lit up an isolated sack in the middle of the path. Everyone was shocked by its sudden appearance and retreated slightly.

Suddenly, their torches and lanterns illuminated an isolated sack in the middle of the path. Its unexpected appearance shocked everyone, making them take a small step back.

The bloody sack suddenly jumped. What they witnessed was too bizarre, leaving everyone in shock.

Puppy, who was hiding in the middle of the crowd, shouted at the sack, “Youyouyouyouyou! You dare come and harm us? Do you think that you are unkillable? Do you know whose territory this is?” RâℕỌʙĚ𝘴

The sack stopped after it heard Puppy’s voice. Puppy saw this and slid further back.

The sack slowly turned, and an exhausted voice came from inside.

“Is it… Brother Er Jiu? It’s me. Liu Zongyuan from Moongate.”

The people of the village exchanged curious glances. They weren’t familiar with the names Liu Zongyuan or Er Jiu, as nobody in the village bore such names.

“Er Jiu is Master’s other name. That thing knows who my Master is.”

Lu Xiucai walked forward on his crutches.

Both of his legs were replaced with wooden sticks. He could walk, albeit slowly.

Puppy was relieved when he heard that. He walked out from the crowd and looked at the sack. “To think that Senior Li knows this thing.”

Seeing that it was an acquaintance of Li Huowang, Yang Xiaohai asked carefully, “Are you dead or alive? Can you not open the sack? Should we open it for you?”

The bloody sack jumped backward. “Don’t touch me!”

“I barely survived by using the gluing technique of the Moongate. If you open the sack right now, I will die for good!”

Liu Zongyuan continued to talk with his weary voice, “Everyone, I’m here to seek your Senior Li for help. I hope that he will help me.”

“Senior Li? We don’t know where he is. He’s been moving our food previously, but for some reason, he recently stopped. He’s like an Immortal, flying here and there every day. We currently have no idea where he is.”

Lu Xiucai stepped forward and looked at the bloody sack. He asked tentatively, “What can my Master help you with? We can help you by passing the message to him when we see him.”

Liu Zongyuan’s voice raised an octave. “What else can I do with my body like this? I’m looking for your Master to ask him to take revenge for me!

“We worked together in the past. I even helped him with finding a lot of information before. He cannot ignore what happened to me!”

Lu Xiucai asked, “Who… who turned you into this?”

Liu Zongyuan replied as firmly as he could, saying, “Who else? The White Lotus Sect! It’s that damned evil sect! They are the same as the Dharma Sect!”

“Impossible! That cannot be true!”

Lu Xiucai denied it vehemently. He was still a member of the White Lotus Sect. “I’ve worked with them before. Everyone in the White Lotus Sect is equal. Things have changed, and we aren't who we used to be.”

He continued, “We no longer kill innocent people. We even burned away the books detailing the techniques that involved human sacrifices. My Mistress was the one who did so.”

“Lies! A dog cannot stop eating turds! Would I go and look for them if they didn’t cause trouble? We would’ve overlooked them if they had just killed one or two people, but they are destroying village after village! They even lied to others, saying that there were plagues! Hmph! Do they think that they can fool the people from Moongate?”

“I don’t believe you! Where are they? Lead me there!”

The bloody sack shook a bit. “I can’t. They are very strong. Even Ji Xiang was killed. Only brother Er Jiu can do this.”

Liu Zongyuan paused a bit before saying, “It’s a good thing that he’s also friends with the Emperor. You must inform the Emperor that the White Lotus Sect must not be left alive!”

Lu Xiucai was angry as he walked forward with his crutches until he was just in front of the sack. “Bring me there! I’m a white donkey! As long as they are the real White Lotus Sect, they will not harm me!”

Liu Zongyuan fell silent, deep in thought after learning that Lu Xiucai was part of the White Lotus Sect.

“I will give you a location, and you can go there on your own. Two hundred Li away, towards the southeast of Cowheart Village. You will find them at a temple.”

Liu Zongyuan left promptly after saying that. He didn’t even wait or ask where Li Huowang was as he hopped away. It was as if he was afraid that someone was chasing after him.

Everyone in the village started discussing it after Liu Zongyuan was gone.

“Isn’t the White Lotus Sect the one Senior Bai and Senior Xiaoman had joined?”

“Are they really an evil sect? I don’t think so. I talked to them once. They seemed like regular people.”

“That might not be the case. Remember what we dug out from underneath the ancestral hall?”

The discussion annoyed Lu Xiucai, so he turned to Puppy and said, “Puppy, give me a carriage.”

“Huh? You only have a single arm left. Why are you still working hard? You can leave these kinds of things to Senior Li.”

Lu Xiucai recalled his dead brother and sister-in-law, as well as his crazy father and his nephew, who he had yet to find. The Dharma Sect had caused the demise of his family.

“No! I need to see it myself! The White Lotus Sect is definitely not a second Dharma Sect! That cannot be true!”
