Chapter 1694: Chapter 869: Sword Tomb (Part 3) The direct sensation, even more powerful than Uncle. Far more powerful than any cultivator I have ever seen, including those Demon Path Feather Transformation cultivators who died at Uncle’s hands, and Summer Inspector from the Taoist Court’s Feather Transformation Realm. Heaven Void Ancestor?! Mo Hua immediately calmed down and nodded: "Yes." The long-bearded elder frowned slightly, "What were you doing just now?" Upon hearing this, Mo Hua’s heart tightened. Oh no, have I been "caught"? Has what I did been discovered by this elder? Does this mean that this elder might be the ancestor of my Taixu Gate? He detected something unusual and thus brought me here? Mo Hua was extremely nervous, but also secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Nervous, because what he "snacked on" might have been discovered. Relieved, because since this elder is from Taixu Gate, he probably wouldn’t kill me for no reason. And if I’m correct, Elder Master Xun is also from the ancestor’s generation. This long-bearded elder might know Elder Master Xun, so he shouldn’t make things difficult for me. If push comes to shove, I can bring up Elder Master Xun’s name, and perhaps this elder might let me go. Seeing the long-bearded elder’s displeased expression, Mo Hua respectfully said: "To answer the elder, I have a young little brother who often has nightmares, troubled by demon monsters in his dreams and unable to sleep. I borrowed a big white dog from the Sect Leader to guard my brother." "Just finished watching the door tonight, and after returning to my room, I thought I’d practice formations since it was still early, and for some reason, I suddenly found myself... caught by you..." Mo Hua picked and chose some "truths" to tell. The elder frowned, pondered for a moment, and then asked, "What is your brother’s name?" "Shang Guanyu." Mo Hua said. 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺 "Shangguan?" The elder was a bit surprised, "You’re from the Shangguan Family?" Mo Hua shook his head, "No, my surname is Mo." The elder’s gaze turned slightly cold, "Your surname is Mo, and your brother’s is Shangguan?" Mo Hua explained, "Not a blood brother, we met by chance, I saved him, and he calls me brother." A life-saving grace? The elder nodded slightly and then said in a deep voice, "Since your surname is Mo... which Mo Family are you from? Near the Qian Learning State Boundary, there’s no Mo Family, are you from Kun State, or Kan State..." Mo Hua shook his head and said, "I come from Li State, I’m a Loose Cultivator, without a family." "A Loose Cultivator..." The long-bearded elder was startled. He did not expect that after so many years, Taixu Gate could still recruit a Loose Cultivator, which was indeed peculiar. Loose Cultivators, with no family or power, can hardly be traced. "You say... you borrowed a dog from the Sect Leader?" the elder asked again. Mo Hua nodded. "What kind of dog?" "White, big, long-haired, with a bit of golden fur, haughty eyes, somewhat arrogant..." Mo Hua described the big white dog. The long-bearded elder’s heart stirred, and his expression became a bit understanding. "It’s that thing..." He gradually understood. The child of the Shangguan Family is prone to attracting evil spirits, so this Mo-surnamed kid couldn’t bear to see his brother suffer and sought an exotic beast to suppress the evil spirits. Borrowing an exotic beast to suppress the evil spirits, but this child also carried a trace of the evil spirit’s aura. This aura was detected by me, mistaken for an "evil demon," so I grabbed him. The long-bearded elder’s gaze tightened slightly. There are still some oddities here, but on the whole, it makes sense. This child spoke in detail, with names and specifics, even mentioning the Sect Leader, which can be easily verified with a simple investigation. And with my nearly thousand years of people’s insight, this child, although somewhat uneasy, did not seem to be lying on the whole. The long-bearded elder sighed slightly. Although he did not lie, it appears I have... caught the wrong person... This is just an ordinary disciple, unrelated to the cause and effect involving evil demons. But thinking about it, it’s indeed so; a mere twenty-year cultivation age disciple, unless reincarnated from a Taoist or possessed by an Old Demon, how could he provoke cause and effect and draw so many demon monsters and evil spirits... Since he is an ordinary disciple, the elder naturally wouldn’t make things difficult for Mo Hua. Lacking interest, he simply waved his hand and said: "You can go back now..." Mo Hua sighed with relief. Talking to such a mysterious and powerful elder, whose background is unknown, he was on edge with every word. But fortunately, he managed to get through it. Mo Hua performed a bow meticulously and respectfully said, "Elder, then the disciple takes his leave." The long-bearded elder said nothing. Mo Hua began to walk out, but after a few steps, he came back, scratched his head, and softly asked: "Elder, how... do I get out?" This place was full of graves, desolate and eerie, and the formations nearby were advanced, far beyond his current understanding. He had never been here before, completely unfamiliar with the path. Should he get lost, or inadvertently trigger some mechanism or formation, bumping into things, a small Foundation Establishment like him might lose his life... The long-bearded elder sighed slightly, realizing his oversight, and said: "I will send you back." He stretched out his hand to grab Mo Hua. Mo Hua did not dodge, of course, with a Heaven Void Ancestor’s grasp, even if he wanted to dodge, he couldn’t. But just as he was about to be grabbed and sent away, Mo Hua caught a glimpse out of the corner of his eye, seeing the blackened graves scattered on the ground and the broken swords stuck between them, he suddenly remembered something and hurriedly said: "Elder, wait!" The long-bearded elder paused his hand and couldn’t help frowning, "What’s wrong?" Mo Hua asked, "Elder, is this the Sword Tomb?"
