After settling the distribution of the blood food, Hu Ma finally felt at ease and went to sleep.
The night had been filled with fear, shock, and injuries, leaving him exhausted.
The next morning, he woke up early and stepped out of his room to find that everything had already been arranged.
Zhou Datong and the other brothers from the village had done a solid job.
Following Hu Ma's instructions, they had wrapped the remains of the remaining members of the Altar Sect in straw mats.
Those that were still intact were placed in the village, while the ones that were beyond recognition were piled up.
Most of the monster corpses in the jars had rotted away to mere bones after being exposed to the sun, and some had even been burned.
As for the remaining items left by the Altar Sect—weapons, clothing, and broken jars—they were also gathered and piled up.
These were kept as evidence, waiting for the arrival of the city officials for questioning.
After a detailed conversation with Zhou Datong, Hu Ma learned that the old shopkeeper had come out once during the early hours of the morning to inspect everything.
The workers didn't know what he was doing, but Hu Ma understood.
The old shopkeeper likely wanted to keep the matter of the blood food hidden to avoid further trouble.
