Meticulous and unhurried, Ma Wanfa commanded a group of rogue cultivators to plunder across Tongye Prefecture with a spotless record of success. This had allowed him to accumulate a tidy fortune; otherwise, he never could have reached the Dragon Gate Realm.
He was equally meticulous in selecting his accomplices. His lackey was merely a Fifth Realm Martial Artist whose Third Realm foundation was a complete mess and who lacked the guidance of any renowned master, making it unlikely he would ever ascend to the Martial Gall Realm. Yet, following a successful robbery, he had acquired half a fragmentary scroll and mastered the art of invoking deities, making him an unstoppable vanguard.
However, the fragment contained only the method to invite a deity, lacking the second half on how to send it away. Since inviting a deity was easy while sending one off was hard, the lackey always suffered a severe backlash after each invocation, and the wealth plundered from ambushes in the wild was just enough to cover his medical expenses.
