Chapter 1344: Chapter 757 Truth_3 But the other part is probably not so easy to say... It is very likely that some of the dead disciples on the list are now in Refining Demon Mountain, transformed into monsters, feasting on flesh and blood. Perhaps it goes beyond just that. In Mo Hua’s intuition, some of the disciples with unfamiliar names and appearances strangely felt somewhat familiar. This is a kind of intuition of causality. As if there had been some interaction between them before. Mo Hua pondered slightly and suddenly recalled: Sin Cultivators! Back then, based on Boss Jiang’s list, many Sin Cultivators he had captured were carrying sect legacies and logically should have roots in the sect. But investigations from the Taoist Court showed nothing. Mo Hua was puzzled before, but now after seeing this list, he suddenly realized that those "Sin Cultivators" living outside and committing crimes might already be "dead" in the sect records. That’s why the Taoist Court couldn’t find anything. It’s also extremely difficult for the sect to verify! In other words, not only the monster cultivators within Refining Demon Mountain, but also the evil cultivators outside the Qian Learning State Boundary committing heinous acts will have their records erased at Refining Demon Mountain. Refining Demon Mountain is like a black "cloth" of erasure. It erases all traces before the disciples of the sect degenerate into Sin Cultivators, Monster Cultivators, or even Demon Cultivators, through the "death records." After erasing the records, changing their face or name, no one can trace their origin. Mo Hua felt a slight shock in his heart. "No wonder..." "No wonder those henchmen of the Evil God, the human traffickers in black, are so rampant, and once the Taoist Court investigates, they’re at an impasse, because when tracing back to the sect, they find that there’s truly ’no such person’..." "Because matching disciples are already ’dead’!" "And in the eyes of the sect, the Taoist Court investigating a dead or non-existent disciple and ’slandering’ them as colluding with traffickers or other demon cultivators, is clearly seen as provoking trouble, spreading false rumors, and malicious slandering." "No sect could possibly ignore it." "To protect the sect’s interests, the sect’s reputation, and even the honor of the ’dead’ disciples, the sect has no choice but to oppose the Taoist Court, obstructing their investigation." "Therefore, once the Taoist Court starts investigating, they are bound to be deadlocked." "Even Uncle Gu, no matter how powerful he is, it’s useless." "He is a Supervisor of the Taoist Court, and when investigating from there, he will always be separated by the sect’s gates..." Mo Hua suddenly realized and finally thought these things clearly. But he was still a bit unconvinced. After all, these are just his guesses. The intuition of causality is only intuition, and it doesn’t mean it is completely infallible. "Need to verify..." Mo Hua flipped through the list again. 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖 After an unknown length of time, Mo Hua’s pupils shrank and moments later, a slight smile appeared on his lips. "Found it..." On the list was a name: "Xie Cangshan, disciple of Gui Water Sect, twenty-one years old, from a Third Grade Xie family, Mid-stage Foundation Establishment Cultivation, arrogant and complacent, went to hunt monsters alone and disappeared... Three months later, presumed dead." This name, Mo Hua had never heard before. But the portrait next to the name was very familiar to Mo Hua. This person, this face, was that black-clothed leader back then! It seemed to be two or three years ago, Cheng Mo and some others stumbled upon over twenty black-clad human traffickers selling cultivators, being chased by those in black, about to meet a dead end, when I happened to come across them. I slightly lent a hand. Saved Cheng Mo, killed the traffickers, and rescued the kidnapped cultivators. Most of the traffickers died, turned into a pool of black water. Only one exception, that black-clothed leader! The black-clothed leader, bearing the remnants of an Evil God, pursued me to the barren mountain and was then trapped and killed by my methods. After the black-clothed leader died, Mo Hua saw his face. Although there were some burn marks left from the Li Fire Formation on his face, he appeared to be quite young, estimated to be only in his twenties. That face now slowly overlapped with the portrait before me. Xie Cangshan! Mo Hua’s eyes lit up. This confirms my guess! Mo Hua checked the timeline again and found that Xie Cangshan’s "disappearance" occurred just the day after the black-clothed leader had been "killed" by him. That is to say, the moment the black-clothed leader, the human trafficker, died, Xie Cangshan, the disciple of the sect, also "disappeared" at Refining Demon Mountain. This is no coincidence but a very mature and stable, near "seamless" process. And the people and forces involved behind it are certainly not small. Mo Hua’s eyes grew colder. Beside him, Xun Ziyou, seeing Mo Hua deeply focused with mutable expressions, couldn’t help but ask: "Did you discover something again?" Mo Hua glanced at Xun Ziyou, thought for a moment, and did not reveal everything, only mentioning what was right before them: "The monster cultivators of Refining Demon Mountain are very likely the disciples on this list who have disappeared or died." Xun Ziyou, unaware of Mo Hua’s concealment, nodded in agreement, secretly sighing. The oversight beneath the lamp... No one expected this to happen right under the eyes of the sect elders in Qian Learning State Boundary. Some people really have too much nerve. And their operations are indeed meticulous. The conspiracy behind this is likely not small either... Xun Ziyou looked up at the sky, then said: "It’s getting late, let’s go check that White Bone place again." "Mm!" Mo Hua nodded. The two set out once more. At this time, at sunset, with the sky painted red, it was a common sight in Refining Demon Mountain. But unlike usual, around this time, Mo Hua would have finished hunting monster beasts, descending the mountain bathed in the sunset, returning to the sect. But this time, he was heading towards the depths of the dense forest of Refining Demon Mountain. Taking advantage of twilight, step by step, walking into the darkness of Refining Demon Mountain...
