Chapter 1528: Chapter 817: Pursuit and Slaughter (Part 4) "This little imp, at such an age, what could he know about Formations?" "But if by any chance..." someone hesitated. "No worries," said the Cultivator with a sinister gaze, glancing at the surrounding Formation, calmly remarked, "These Formations should be a Killing Formation. If it explodes, that little imp will certainly die as well. Even if he somehow can control these Formations, he wouldn’t have the guts to go down with us." The others nodded in agreement. "There’s no time to waste, let’s go in early to ’catch the turtle in the jar’ and capture that little imp, and then use him to threaten that old fool." "Capture both of them and torment them to death, and the Water Prison Sect will be completely cut off." The Cultivator with the sinister gaze sneered. Then the four formed a formation and walked towards the cave side by side. But upon entering the cave, they found there wasn’t a single figure inside. "What’s going on..." "Where are the people?" The Cultivator with the sinister gaze frowned and pondered. Suddenly, he felt a sense of unease and swiftly turned to look outside the cave. Only then did they realize that the young Cultivator they were chasing earlier was already standing outside the cave with a smile, looking completely calm without the earlier panic. Mo Hua had only pretended to enter the cave. When he first entered the cave’s entrance, he quietly used a Concealment Technique and exited, fooling the four into going inside. "Not good, we’ve been tricked!" The four were suddenly alarmed, desperately trying to run outside. But Mo Hua wouldn’t give them a chance. Before the four could move, Mo Hua outside the cave softly said: "Explode!" The densely packed second-grade High-level Killing Array suddenly exploded, with flames scattering and Golden Blades slashing, the ground exuded killing intent. Amidst the booming sound, the Killing Formation was activated. The surging Spiritual Power intertwined and trembled, shattering the cave and slaughtering these four masked Cultivators entirely! With so many High-Rank Killing Formations, even Golden Core Realm’s Yu Canghai felt a faint fear, let alone these Late-stage Foundation Establishment Cultivators. Mo Hua nodded in satisfaction. In this way, the Killing Formations he had drawn came into play and were not wasted. Waste is disgraceful. After all, he had painstakingly spent Spiritual Ink and Spirit Stones, consuming Divine Thought to draw the Formations; it would be too wasteful not to use them. Having dealt with the four, Mo Hua retraced his steps to find Yu Canghai. Upon reaching the deep mountains, he found that the four attacking Yu Canghai had turned into three. There was another person lying on the ground, with a cold expression, seemingly poisoned by Water Poison, barely breathing. Mo Hua was a bit surprised. Indeed, a skinny camel is bigger than a horse. This Yu Canghai is still quite formidable. Upon seeing Mo Hua return, not only Yu Canghai but also the remaining three assassins were greatly astonished. "Little imp, how did you escape?" The leading Cultivator said in a deep voice. Mo Hua smiled gently, "Killed those chasing me, and naturally, I escaped." Upon these words, the Cultivators present all changed their expressions. But Mo Hua didn’t waste time talking to them and already began preparing to conjure Fireballs. About 30 minutes later, the remaining three were also dead. In a two-against-three situation, under the joint efforts of Mo Hua and Yu Canghai, without a numbers advantage, these three Foundation Building Cultivators were like lambs to the slaughter, with no power to resist at all. As such, all eight assassins were wiped out. Several bodies lay strewn on the ground. Yu Canghai looked at Mo Hua with astonishment and a tremor in his heart. This young boy, what divine being is he? Clearly only in the Foundation Building Middle Stage, he doesn’t seem strong, yet he can effortlessly kill Late-stage Foundation Establishment Cultivators... Mo Hua remained unaffected, saying to Yu Canghai, "You sit and meditate to heal your wounds." He thought it would be a waste if the person died after being saved. Yu Canghai sighed, cupped his hands, and said: "Thank you!" This "thank you" was much more heartfelt. Afterwards, Yu Canghai began meditating while Mo Hua started "searching the bodies." However, he didn’t find anything valuable on the bodies of the four deceased, with the Storage Bag containing only some spare Spirit Stones and Pills. Mo Hua was somewhat disappointed. "Quite cautious..." He thought for a moment and remembered there were also four masked Cultivators he had blown up at the cave. Once Yu Canghai had healed somewhat, Mo Hua returned with him to the cave. The cave was blown to pieces, with traces of the Formation all around. Yu Canghai only then realized Mo Hua hadn’t lied, and indeed, the other four also died at his hands, causing a chill to rise in his heart. Truly, people cannot be judged by their appearances. The more naive-looking, the more ruthless in killing. Mo Hua paused to think and pointed at the cave, saying to Yu Canghai: "Senior, help me dig out those four." Yu Canghai didn’t know what Mo Hua intended but followed his instructions and started digging the stones. Though wounded, after resting for a while, it wasn’t difficult to dig out some stones. In less than an hour, four bodies were dug out and placed in a neat row. Mo Hua uncovered their masks, finding he didn’t recognize any of them. Moreover, the faces of these four were mostly destroyed by the Formation, making it even harder to identify them. Mo Hua began searching their bodies. After a while, the search yielded little gain. Seemingly to act low-key, these people traveled light, with the Storage Bag containing only some simple Pills and Spiritual Artifacts, along with scattered Spirit Stones. "No clues..." Mo Hua shook his head and sighed. But still somewhat unwilling, based on his experience with the Tao Court and dealing with Sin Cultivators for so long, he began to gather Divine Sense, conducting a meticulous search from head to toe... Sure enough, after a period, Mo Hua discovered something unusual. Among the four, one person’s tooth had a distinctly different material. "Tooth!" Mo Hua’s eyes brightened. From his dealings with Sin Cultivators, he remembered some would break their teeth and re-embed a "Storage Box" shaped like a tooth. This Storage Box was very small, only able to hold items the size of a palm, but it was indeed very concealed. If not for his extensive experience in chasing Sin Cultivators, he wouldn’t notice at all. Mo Hua extracted the person’s tooth and, using Divine Sense, pulled out an item from within. It was a Token. And the design was very familiar. Furrowing his brow, Mo Hua examined it for a moment before suddenly recognizing it as a Taoist Court’s Enforcement Leader’s Command Token! Having worked with Gu Changhuai for so long, Mo Hua recognized most Tokens from the Taoist Court. The low-level ones, like his "extra-official" Bronze waist tag, the slightly higher ones, like Gu Changhuai’s Tribunal Command Token. The most common were in the Taoist Court, the type of "Enforcement Leader Command" worn by Court Officials. Gu An and Gu Quan carried this kind. Mo Hua felt a slight heaviness in his heart, flipped the Enforcement Leader Command over, glanced at it, and his pupils constricted slightly. On the back of the Enforcement Leader Command was carved a word: "Xiao!" Taoist Court Xiao family! This person who was blown up was an Enforcement Leader from the Taoist Court’s Xiao family?! Mo Hua remained silent for a moment, growing increasingly uneasy in his heart. He thought for a moment, took out a Letter Token, and silently sent a message to Gu Changhuai: "Uncle Gu, hurry and come..." Moments later, Gu Changhuai replied: "What’s wrong?" Mo Hua: "I seem to have... blown up an Enforcement Leader from the Xiao family..." In the Qianxue Court Tribunal, seeing these words, Gu Changhuai’s heart suddenly shuddered, and his right hand gripped with force, nearly crushing the Letter Token.
