Chapter 1233: Chapter 723 Secondary Thunder Flow Water Yama?! Mo Hua felt a chill in his heart, followed by a frown. "Who is Water Yama?" He had been mixing in the Qianxue State Boundary and nearby Immortal Cities for over two years now, capturing a good number of Sin Cultivators and Evil Cultivators, and dealing with quite a few Demon Cultivators. He knew secrets far beyond what an average cultivator would know. But he had never heard the moniker "Water Yama." Mo Hua looked down again. The name "Fire Buddha" on the list had already faded, completely erased. Replaced by "Water Yama." This meant... Fire Buddha was dead, so had the Evil God promoted another Demon Head to lead the massacre of the Tu Family? This Water Yama, since he could replace Fire Buddha, does it mean that his power, even if not as strong as Fire Buddha’s, would not be too far off? Mo Hua’s brows knitted tightly together, his mood somber, then he couldn’t help but sneer inwardly. If this Water Yama is taken down too, won’t they just keep coming one after another, like Gold Arhat, Wood Yaksha, Earth Kṣitigarbha or something... It never ends... Mo Hua shook his head, feeling a headache, and even more puzzled, he then thought: What could be the origin of this Water Yama? A Sin Cultivator wanted by the Daoist Court? Or a Demon Cultivator with heinous crimes? If he is a minion chosen by the Evil God, does he bear an inheritance capable of rivalling Forbidden Techniques on his person? Could there be more clues related to the Evil God? Unable to figure it out, Mo Hua could only ask others. During his leisure time, Mo Hua used a Letter Token to secretly ask Gu Changhuai: "Uncle Gu, do you know the name ’Water Yama’?" Gu Changhuai was clearly taken aback, "Water Yama?" "Yes." After musing for a while, Gu Changhuai sent a message back: "I’ve never heard of it." Mo Hua was stunned and somewhat surprised. Even Uncle Gu, the Supervisor, had never heard of it... Could it be that this Water Yama has just started out? Gu Changhuai: "Why do you ask about this name?" Before Mo Hua could answer, Gu Changhuai continued: "Is it related to the massacre of the Yu Family’s water fortress?" Mo Hua nodded slightly. As expected of a Dao Court Canon, Uncle Gu’s mind is really sharp. As long as it’s not about Formations, Uncle Gu is quite intelligent. "Yes," Mo Hua said. Gu Changhuai frowned, puzzled: "How do you know this name?" 𝚏𝕣𝕖𝚎𝚠𝚎𝚋𝚗𝐨𝐯𝕖𝕝.𝕔𝐨𝕞 That’s a long story. And it’s complicated with many things involved, not convenient to explain, Mo Hua vaguely responded: "I obtained a Letter Token, the token mentioned it..." Gu Changhuai frowned. Another Letter Token? The Letter Token can’t be that omnipotent, can it? Able to dig up any secret. It’s not like Demon Cultivators are that foolish to write everything in a Letter Token... He felt that Mo Hua was definitely keeping something from him. But with the youngster full of tricks, if he didn’t want to say, one couldn’t get it out of him. "Hmm..." Gu Changhuai said indifferently, "Does your Letter Token... contain any other clues?" "No more," Mo Hua said, "Only this name." Gu Changhuai pondered briefly, then replied: "Alright, I’ve made a note of it, I’ll find someone to look into it when I have time." "Mm-hmm." Mo Hua nodded. "By the way, Uncle Gu," Mo Hua suddenly remembered something and asked: "Have you been to Yu Family’s water fortress? Are there any other clues there?" Gu Changhuai was silent for a long time, and after a moment, his expression became serious and he slowly sent a message back: "Yu Family’s water fortress... It was tragic." "I visited once, the whole fortress was blood-red, with blood everywhere, the soil stained red, but the corpses were all gone, only some flesh and bone fragments remained on the scene..." "On the ground, you could see the traces of kneeling in blood, the marks of rolling heads, and the remnants of chains..." "Judging from the only traces left, the Fish Cultivators of the water fortress seemed to have been locked with iron chains, kneeling on the ground, and beheaded to death." "It’s like..." Gu Changhuai paused for a moment, then used an apt metaphor, "Like criminals being judged and beheaded at the execution ground..." Mo Hua’s expression turned stern. Judgement... Beheading... This "Water Yama" seems to have some peculiar predilections. Or is there some other profound meaning behind this method of annihilating a clan? Mo Hua very much wanted to visit the massacred Yu Family’s water fortress to see if there were any clues in the cause and effect, but he could not defy Elder Master Xun’s orders. Knowing this, Gu Changhuai said: "Regarding the Yu Family water fortress and this Water Yama, I will look into it when I return. You stay put in the Sect. If there are any developments, I’ll let you know." He actually didn’t want to tell Mo Hua. But if he didn’t, Mo Hua would certainly try to find out in any possible way. Rather than that, it would be better to tell him himself, to prevent Mo Hua from wasting time, hindering his Cultivation, or due to excessive curiosity, endangering himself. The conversation ended here. Gu Changhuai went back to his affairs. In the following days, while Mo Hua cultivated and studied in the Sect, every now and then he paid attention to any movement from the Daoist Court side. But afterward, it was all calm. Nothing happened. The number of appearances by the group of Demon Cultivators also became less frequent. Water Yama too vanished without a trace. As for the case of the Yu Family water fortress, although the Daoist Court was investigating, there were still no developments. The remote water fortress was not an Immortal City after all. The cultivators inside were all poor Fish Cultivators, relatively isolated on normal days and not having much interaction with the outside world. After the annihilation, to avoid startling the snake in the grass, the Daoist Court temporarily sealed the news. Therefore, this calamity only caused a temporary commotion around Mistwater River, and then gradually subsided to become just a topic of strange tales over tea and dinner. The Yu Family water fortress was gone, the nearby Fish Cultivators still struggled for their livelihoods. The Daoist Court continued to investigate cases but to no avail. Beyond Mistwater River, the various Immortal Cities went on as usual, and the large and small families continued to live their luxurious lives.
