Chapter 1109: Chapter 683: Blood Mist (Additional update for Alliance Leader Wind Chocolate) _2 Chapter 1109: Chapter 683: Blood Mist (Additional update for Alliance Leader Wind Chocolate) _2 âDonât ah, I didnât say we couldnât negotiateâŠâ Mo Hua said weakly.
Gu Changhuai felt a headache coming on.
So this kid is trying to ask for a sky-high price from me, a Daoist Court Canon, and then bargain downâŠ
Gu Changhuai: âI can only agree to one condition.â
âTwo conditions?â Mo Hua probed.
âJust one, if thatâs not okay, then forget it.â
*Sigh*, one condition it is, then.
Mo Hua accepted begrudgingly.
Gu Changhuai said, âThe affair of the kidnappers is confidential, I canât tell you; and the matter about rewards involves the Daoist Courtâs system, I canât agree to that either. But if you encounter danger or need support, I can help you with thatâŠâ
Protecting Mo Huaâs safety was also his cousinâs wish; in a way, it was for Yu Erâs good too.
Gu Changhuai found a reason for himself in his heart.
Gu Changhuai continued, âNext time you take a break, come to the Gu Family, I will give you a secret command from the Gu Family, this command can summon cultivators from the Gu Family within the surrounding Second Grade Little Immortal Cityâs Daoist CourtâŠâ
Mo Hua was stunned.
A secret command from the Gu Family?
To command the Cultivators from the Gu Family within the Second Grade Daoist Court?
Mo Hua felt a bit embarrassed, âIsnât this⊠a bit too valuableâŠâ
âIf you donât want it, then forget it.â
âI want it!â Mo Hua hurriedly said.
Itâs stupid not to take advantage when itâs offered.
He was just about to chase after the tail of the Evil God and needed manpower.
Although Cheng Mo and the others would also help, there were only four or five of them and they were not enough.
Moreover, their cultivation is indeed too low, they need more training before they can be of use.
Gu Changhuai reminded again, âThis secret command from the Gu Family, in my hands, is meant to âcommand,â but in yours, itâs only for âsaving lives.â Donât misuse it or think about using the command to lord over and blackmail disciples of the Gu Family into doing excessive tasks for you, they wonât agreeâŠâ
âIf I find out youâre abusing the command, I will take it back!â
Gu Changhuai said sternly.
âGot it! Donât worry!â Mo Hua assured, âI will definitely not do anything excessive!â
Gu Changhuai finally breathed a sigh of relief after getting Mo Huaâs promise.
âIâll tell you the other clues about the Crossing River Dragon. Itâs best if you can find him, but donât force it if you canât.â
âOkay!â Mo Hua nodded.
After that, Gu Changhuai told Mo Hua about the places where the Crossing River Dragon was buried and then disappeared, including clues investigated by the Daoist Court around Mistwater River.
When the break came, Mo Hua couldnât wait and rushed to the Gu Family.
Looking at Mo Huaâs eager eyes, Gu Changhuai felt somewhat regretful, but considering he had already promised Mo Hua and couldnât break his word, he gritted his teeth and handed over a jade-green secret command engraved with the âGuâ character to Mo Hua.
âUse it only for seeking help or support, donât misuse it!â
Gu Changhuai reiterated.
âGot it!â
Mo Hua swore.
Gu Changhuai finally relaxed and handed over the secret command to Mo Hua.
Taking the âGu Familyâs secret commandâ in hand, Mo Hua felt its smooth, cool, and heavy presence, a clear sign of its significant value.
Uncle Gu is such a good person!
Mo Hua thought to himself.
Then he put the secret command into his storage bag, but feeling this wasnât respectful enough, he transferred it to his Storage Ring.
With the Gu Family secret command in hand, it was like having a âbackerâ while mingling in the Second Grade small state boundaries near sects, making his actions much more convenient and confident.
Mo Hua felt he stood more upright because of it.
But having received a favor, he needed to be even more careful in his actions.
He had to help Uncle Gu⊠and in a sense, help himself to catch the âfeigning-deathâ Crossing River Dragon.
He couldnât let down Uncle Guâs trust.
Especially not this valuable Gu Family secret command!
Mo Hua nodded solemnly with a grave expression.
After bidding farewell to Gu Changhuai and meeting with Aunt Wan and having a meal with Yu Er, Mo Hua set off towards the downstream of Mistwater River.
This mission was solo.
Because it involved tracking and there were no merit points available yet, he didnât bring Cheng Mo and the others.
Arriving at Mistwater River, Mo Hua found the Crossing River Dragonâs feigned death burial site.
The grave had no stele, just a hillock with some superficial feng shui formations around it to protect the grave.
Close to the riverside, the soil was damp.
Mo Hua didnât have to dig; his Divine Sense scanned over and he knew the coffin was empty.
But from some residual energy in the coffin, Mo Hua could clearly distinguish that it belonged to the Crossing River Dragon.
His gaze deepened as the Heavenly secret emerged.
Traces of karma extended from the coffin, drifting into the river, after which the vast riverâs current made them disappear without a trace.
Mo Hua also remembered the other clues Uncle Gu had mentioned and stealthily, he checked along Mistwater River, one by one.
The river did indeed contain traces of the Crossing River Dragon and some faint white karmic lines, but they were very weak.
Though weak, it also meant that Crossing River Dragon was still active nearby.
The Crossing River Dragon cultivated water system skills and drew life from water. This river was his second life, the waterways were his lifelines; he couldnât have gone far.
After all, the most dangerous place is often the safest.
Mo Hua calmed his heart, found the place with the deepest causal lines, sat down invisibly, and prepared to wait silently.
At the same time, he took out the Cultivation Manuals he had acquired from the Crossing River Dragon and silently flipped through them.
Firstly, the White Wave Skill.
This Cultivation Technique, Mo Hua couldnât learn nor did he need to, but he meticulously studied the pathways, meridians, acupoints, and flaws within.
To know both the enemy and yourself ensures that you will not be imperiled in a hundred battles.
Knowing the Crossing River Dragonâs techniques would better prepare him for restraint.
Secondly, the movement technique of White Wave Skill.
