Chapter 907: Chapter 621: The Great Evil Karma_3 Chapter 907: Chapter 621: The Great Evil Karma_3 Murong Caiyun had cultivated the Taixu Gateâs Five Elements Spirit Light spell.
None among them were accustomed to using the Fireball Technique, nor were they particularly skilled at attacking with it.
Æοєǀο.ÆÎż
That left only one person.
Gu Changhuaiâs gaze sharpened.
That Small Five Elements Spiritual Root cultivator, who reportedly just happened to pass by and rescued Yu ErâŠ
Mo Hua!
Gu Changhuai frowned.
This matter seemed fishy.
The story from Mo Hua, that junior cultivator, claiming he just happened to pass by and coincidentally found Yu Er, couldnât be trusted!
If it wasnât him who found her, then could it beâŠ
He, alone, used the Fireball Technique to kill over a dozen human traffickers, then rescued Yu Er?
That seemedâŠ
Even less believableâŠ
Such a tale would fail to deceive even a fool.
Gu Changhuai was perplexed.
As a Dao Court Canon, experienced in handling cases for many years, his instinct told him there was definitely something majorly wrong with Mo Hua, that junior cultivator.
Yet, his cousin sister had great trust in the young man, and Yu Er was also very close to him.
It wouldnât be proper for him to directly investigate.
But leaving things be would surely pose a significant hidden dangerâŠ
Gu Changhuaiâs gaze flickered, and the image of Mo Huaâs eyes reappeared in his mindĂąâŹâthose eyes, seemingly clear on the surface, yet oddly dissonant upon closer examination, possessed an uncommon depthâŠ
Half good, half evil.
As if balancing on the edge between righteousness and wickedness.
Gu Changhuai always had an intuition that a cultivator with such eyes was either an astonishingly brilliant genius or a world-shaking demon fiend.
âI need to find some time to probe furtherâŠâ
âŠ
Taixu Gate.
That day, after finishing his meal, Mo Hua lay down on a patch of grass, legs crossed, leisurely flipping through Formation Books, when suddenly a tall âjunior brotherâ rushed over, calling out,
âMo Hua!â
Mo Hua looked up and saw it was Cheng Mo.
Curiously, he asked,
âWhatâs up?â
âThe Elder told me someone is looking for you.â
âWho is it?â
âHow would I knowâŠâ
âAlright.â Mo Hua packed up the book, brushing off the grass tips from his Taoist robe.
âIâll go check it out.â
Cheng Mo glanced at Mo Hua, suspicion in his voice:
âMo Hua, why do you seem so busyâŠâ
âThatâs because, Iâm diligent in my cultivation!â Mo Hua replied.
âItâs not cultivation stuff,â Cheng Mo shook his head.
âI always feel like youâre involved in other thingsâŠâ
Mo Hua got on his tiptoes and patted the tall Cheng Mo on the shoulder, sighing,
âYouâre still young, there are things you know too early.
Once youâve been in the Sect for a full year, your âsenior brotherâ will then take you along for some funâŠâ
Cheng Mo was a little embarrassed, âYouâre two years younger than me!â
âAge does not define knowledge, respect goes to the accomplished!â
âItâs only out of respect for Elder Master Xun that I call you âjunior brotherâ, donât get too ahead of yourselfâŠâ
âWho was calling me âdear brotherâ just beforeâŠâ
âYouâŠâ
âŠ
After the two bantered for a while, Mo Hua went to the side hall outside the mountain gate to meet the Elder.
Following the Elderâs directions, outside the mountain gate, he met the person looking for him.
It was Gu Changhuai.
Mo Hua was quite surprised.
He didnât know many people in the Qianxue State Boundary, and those who could come to the Sect to find him were either Aunt Wan or a guard from the Shangguan Family, sent on Aunt Wanâs orders to deliver something to him.
But he never expected it to be Gu Changhuai.
âUncle Gu?â
Mo Hua exclaimed in surprise.
Gu Changhuai nodded slightly, âI came to see you, andâŠ
concerning Hidden Elder Second, I have some questionsâŠâ
âOh.â Mo Hua nodded.
While the two of them were talking, an Elder from Taixu Gate, seemingly just drinking tea, actually sent a sliver of Divine Sense to watch Gu Changhuai.
Gu Changhuai sighed inwardly.
His visit here was anything but easy.
His status as a Dao Court Canon was unique, every move he made bore the mark of the Dao Court.
Visiting the Sect to speak with a disciple was inevitably met with caution.
Gu Changhuai exhausted his tongue, claiming he was following the orders of his family to visit a younger clan member, and only then did an elder consent.
But whatever he asked and said, the elder of Taixu Gate remained wary.
Gu Changhuai could only subtly begin by asking about some matters concerning Hidden elder-second.
Since most of the information pertained to case files, Mo Hua picked and chose what to share; for things he couldnât disclose, he played dumb, saying he didnât know, didnât remember, or couldnât recallâŠ
There was nothing Gu Changhuai could do.
After asking a bit more, Mo Hua became very tight-lipped and impermeable.
Finally, Gu Changhuai couldnât help it any longer and slowly started to speak,
âMo Hua, do youâŠ
know the Fireball Technique?â
Mo Hua was taken aback.
The Fireball Technique?
Why is Uncle Gu asking me this?
His eyes narrowed, and just as he was about to answer, a cough came from afar.
The elder of Taixu Gate calmly said,
âThe disciples of my Taixu Gate are free to learn whatever they wish; itâs not for others to meddleâŠâ
Gu Changhuai frowned, feeling helpless.
This Taixu Gate really didnât give him any leeway.
Mo Huaâs eyes flickered before he turned back, bowing gratefully to the elder, then said,
âElder, donât worry.
Uncle Gu and I are well acquainted.
We have some family affairs to discussâŠâ
The elder raised an eyebrow, âReally?â
âYes, yes.â Mo Hua nodded, bowing again in thanks, âThank you for your trouble, Elder.â
The elderâs expression softened a bit and he nodded at Mo Hua, saying, âThen talk.â
After that, he withdrew his Divine Sense and contentedly resumed drinking his tea.
Gu Changhuai looked at Mo Hua in surprise, âYou have quite a âreputationâ within the Sect?â
Mo Hua modestly said, âJust average.â
Mainly because Elder Master Xun had a significant reputation, and he had basked in just a bit of that glory.
And in this short time, he had also figured things out.
Gu Changhuai, being a Supervisor, surely had concerns related to the case.
At the same time, as Aunt Wanâs cousin, he was also very concerned about her and Yu Erâs affairs.
Coming specifically to ask him indicated that this matter was also related to him.
The âcasesâ he had âcommittedââŠ
No.
It was him using the Fireball Technique to eradicate human traffickers!
Mo Hua thought it over and over, and this was the only matter that left a âtraceâ of the Fireball Technique, leading to Gu Changhuaiâs suspicions.
However, Mo Hua was not afraid.
He was kidnapped by human traffickers, then âacted in self-defenseâ and killed over a dozen of them, saving Yu Er in the process.
Even if this matter was reported to the Dao Court, there wouldnât be any issues, nor would it violate the Taoist Law.
It was just that he didnât want to bother with fame, and thatâs why he kept silent about the good deed.
Once it went public, the Dao Court might even commend him!
Even if he told Uncle Gu, there likely wouldnât be a problem.
The most important part was that he had Aunt Wanâs support.
Aunt Wan, being a person of deep feelings, would definitely side with him.
Although Uncle Gu looked formidable, in front of Aunt Wan, he was just a younger brother and couldnât do anything to him!
On the contraryâŠ
Mo Huaâs eyes lit up, and he began to consider taking advantage of Gu Changhuai.
Because Mo Hua realized that following Boss Jiangâs âlistâ to capture Sin Cultivators, learn Spells, and sample âa hundred familyâs repastâ, walking the path of a Spell Master of using othersâ methods against them had its inconveniencesâŠ
Finding Sin Cultivators was troublesome.
Even after finding them, there wasnât necessarily a matching task.
The issuing of tasks was a separate system, cumbersome and bothersome.
Therefore, it was necessary to have a âconnectionâ to manipulate things in the shadowsâŠ
For example, after deciding which Spells he wanted to learn and which Sin Cultivators to capture based on the list.
Then, he would need to get intelligence on these Sin Cultivators from the Dao Court.
And then, suppose he had a good relationship with Uncle GuâŠ
He could let Uncle Gu issue tasks through the Dao Court, have Senior Sister Murong take on the tasks, and he could mix in to assist with task completionâŠ
This way, inheritance and Merit Points would come seamlessly âfull circleâ.
