Chapter 1357: Chapter 762: Turmoil

Xun Ziyou sighed in relief.

Luckily…

The heart that was hanging by a thread almost died…

Then he immediately asked, “Mo Hua, how did you get in?”

There was a delay on the other side, as if the signal of the Original Magnet sensing wasn’t good. After a while, a message came through.

Mo Hua: “I hid under the carriage and sneaked in.”

Xun Ziyou: “You said just now that Ling Huxiao was also captured?”

“Yes! And Little Wood, who is Ouyang Mu from the Tai’a Sect, part of the Ouyang Family.” Mo Hua sent a transmission.

Song Jian was subconsciously forgotten by him.

Xun Ziyou frowned, “Can you still get out?”

Although the disciples of the Tai’a Sect and the Rushing Void Sect share the same lineage with the Taixu Gate, it wouldn’t be good to ignore them, but he couldn’t help having some personal bias. Affection always has degrees.

Mo Hua’s safety is naturally the priority.

If to save other disciples, Mo Hua had to take risks, he would certainly be unwilling.

Not to mention what the Ancestor would think.

If the Ancestor knew that Mo Hua, this little disciple, went into the perilous Valley of Ten Thousand Demons while he, the Elder, stayed outside, he would surely be peeled and his legs broken.

So, ensuring Mo Hua’s safety is a priority; other matters can be considered later.

In the Valley of Ten Thousand Demons, Mo Hua, hiding like a little cat at the bottom of a coffin, looked around and found it pitch black.

His Divine Sense also perceived only icy and bloody stone walls.

The door, coming in, which was like a Monster Beast’s giant mouth, had already closed.

It seemed that for now, there was no way out.

Mo Hua then sent a transmission to Xun Ziyou: “The door is closed, can’t get out.”

Xun Ziyou felt his scalp go numb.

If anything happens to Mo Hua, he really would be doomed!

“Please, please be careful! Hide well, don’t rush, and don’t take risks. Your own safety is the first priority. I will find a way to get you out as soon as possible…”

“Okay!” Mo Hua replied, “Elder Xun, rest assured.”

Xun Ziyou sighed in relief, but as he thought again, he still felt anxious.

Now is not the time to be relieved.

Mo Hua entered the Valley of Ten Thousand Demons like a “meat bun” entering a pack of wolves; a single misstep and there would be nothing left of him.

Xun Ziyou felt a chill in his heart and, after a moment of contemplation, said to the Chongxu Sect Elder:

“You and I must quickly return to the sect and report to the Ancestor.”

This time it was his negligence that led to a great mistake.

But precisely because it is a “big mistake,” it must not be kept from the Ancestor, there can be no lucky thoughts of “mending the fence after losing the sheep.”

Otherwise, a small mistake could easily turn into a “grave one.”

Whether he is punished or not is not important; what matters is that Mo Hua absolutely must not meet with any mishap.

The Chongxu Sect Elder also understood, his face turning pale as he nodded.

Xun Ziyou pondered briefly and said sternly, “Remember, only tell the Ancestor, no one else is to hear a word.”

The Chongxu Sect Elder was taken aback, then his eyes focused, “Do you mean…”

Xun Ziyou nodded slightly.

To design from within the Chongxu Sect, leading the genius disciples into the Refining Demon Mountain.

To secretly ambush and guard the disciples with a Golden Core Elder under the guise of a Golden Core Demon Cultivator.

There must be something wrong inside the Chongxu Sect.

The Chongxu Sect Elder also realized this, and his face turned grim.

“There’s no time to lose, let’s report to the Ancestor immediately,” Xun Ziyou said.

The Chongxu Sect Elder nodded.

Before leaving, Xun Ziyou reminded Mo Hua one last time: “Hide well, don’t take risks, I’ll go back and get help.”

Only the Taixu Token seemed to still have some delay.

After a short while, Mo Hua replied:

“Okay!”

But then, Mo Hua added: “Elder, there’s one more important thing.”

Xun Ziyou’s expression became serious, “What is it?”

Mo Hua: “Once back at the sect, remember to extend my leave.”

He had previously applied for leave, but only for a few days, and now that he’s in the Valley of Ten Thousand Demons, who knows when he can return.

So this leave definitely needs to be extended.

Xun Ziyou did not know what to say for a moment, ultimately sighed silently.

This child truly has a big heart…

…

Taixu Gate, Elder’s Residence.

Elder Master Xun stood indifferently, but the aura around him was like a storm swallowing all silence.

His aged eyes were no longer cloudy, filled with a piercing cold light.

Xun Ziyou stood with his head bowed, cold sweat dripping, not daring to speak.

He had just returned, informed the Ancestor about Mo Hua, and saw the Ancestor’s eyes change, with an aura of extreme terror.

He knew the Ancestor was genuinely angry.

Xun Ziyou bit his teeth, trembling internally.

Elder Master Xun glanced at Xun Ziyou indifferently and then slowly walked to his desk.

On the desk lay a Heavenly Mechanism Compass.

But this compass was not the same as the one Elder Master Xun had used previously, it was darker and more intricate with cause and effect traces, appearing more complex.

Elder Master Xun held his breath and deduced on the compass for a while, suddenly pausing, then slowly restraining his terrifying aura.

Xun Ziyou took a moment to breathe and cautiously asked in a low voice:

“Ancestor…”

Elder Master Xun looked at Xun Ziyou coldly and said indifferently:

“There is a reason for this, it is not your fault.”

Xun Ziyou sighed deeply, feeling the mountain-like pressure on his shoulders ease slightly.

“However,” Elder Master Xun continued, “Mo Hua being in danger has something to do with you.”

Xun Ziyou respectfully said, “This matter is indeed the fault of this junior…”

Elder Master Xun saw that he dared to take responsibility and did not offer any excuses, nodding slightly.

Xun Ziyou asked in a low voice, “Ancestor, what should we do?”

He had ideas, but no authority.

Moreover, some matters were beyond his control. He couldn’t take responsibility for the success or failure.

Therefore, he could only ask the Ancestor.

Elder Master Xun thought briefly and instructed, “Have all Inner Gate Foundation Establishment Peak disciples and Golden Core Elders in the sect, as long as they are not teaching or on a mission, go to guard the Refining Demon Mountain for me.”
