"Okay." There were probably still over two hundred Demon Cultivators in the outer and middle palaces. Time was urgent, so Mo Hua hurried to start the "roll call," while Gu Changhuai and the other two continued their assassinations. One Demon Cultivator after another was eliminated. Mo Hua, while controlling the Yuan Magnetic Compound Formation, commanded the Demon Cultivators to deliver themselves to death, and simultaneously used the Book Devil Orders of the deceased Demon Cultivators to chat with the others who were still alive, concealing the truth of their deaths. Time slipped away bit by bit. It was at this moment that Mo Hua, inside the Yuan Magnetic Core, monitored a "message": "The Evil Qi in the outer palace is intensifying. Someone is killing people. Qiao Laoliu, go and take a look..." Mo Hua was startled in his heart. They had been discovered! Mo Hua checked and found that the sender of the message was the Fire Buddha. As expected, it hadn't been concealed... Mo Hua frowned. However... "The Evil Qi is intensifying," how exactly did the Fire Buddha sense it? And what was this Evil Qi? Mo Hua was puzzled in his heart. But now was not the time to dwell on these questions. Mo Hua immediately sent a message: "Uncle Gu, we need to withdraw. The Fire Buddha has noticed the dead outside..." Gu Changhuai also immediately replied, "Okay, we'll come to you." Mo Hua waited in the Secret Chamber of the Formation Pivot. Before leaving, he needed to do some tampering. The Yuan Spirit Vision Compound Formation couldn't be destroyed for the moment. Destroying it would cause the Book Devil Orders to stop working and would immediately alert the Fire Buddha and the others. Mo Hua could only use basic Fixed Magnetic Patterns to "lock" the Yuan Spirit Vision Compound Formation, temporarily rendering it unusable to others. Inside the chamber, there was also the corpse of Master Yuan. Since he hadn't been dead for long and wasn't decaying yet, it was problematic to dispose of, so it had to be left in the chamber for the meantime. This corpse was not easy to deal with for now. Mo Hua thought about it and simply left the body there. After a while, Gu Changhuai and the other two returned. Seeing that Mo Hua was safe and sound, Gu Changhuai let out a slight sigh of relief. "Let's leave this place first," said Gu Changhuai. "Mhm," Mo Hua nodded. Together, they concealed their presence, with Mo Hua leading the way, leaving the Yuan Magnetic Core Secret Chamber and headed out of the Demon Palace. This route was very familiar to Mo Hua. Having monitored it for so long within the Compound Formation Pivot, Mo Hua had the structure of the Demon Palace well memorized. Moving through the Demon Palace, Mo Hua felt as if he were walking in his own backyard. On the way, Mo Hua asked in a low voice, "Uncle Gu, have you gathered everyone?" Gu Changhuai nodded. "I have assembled them. Two hundred and eighty in total, all stationed outside the One-Line Sky." Mo Hua nodded slightly. Two hundred and eighty people… they had the advantage in numbers, which should be enough. Many Demon Cultivators in the Demon Palace were already dead, leaving only roughly one hundred and eighty or ninety people remaining. Now a frontal confrontation was imminent, a tough battle lay ahead. They couldn't stay here any longer. Mo Hua could have stayed, but it was somewhat dangerous without a bodyguard, and he was not going to overestimate himself. And there were other matters to attend to... Gu Changhuai had to go back to command and deploy the two hundred and eighty Enforcement Leaders of the Taoist Court. Mo Hua also needed to find a way to destroy the Yuan Magnetic Formation outside the Demon Palace and the traps on the suspended stone bridge. Otherwise, it would be a difficult task for those two hundred plus people just to cross the bridge. And so, Mo Hua stealthily left the way he had come. When passing by the great doors of the Demon Palace, the doors were tightly closed, with several Demon Cultivators keeping watch outside. "This door... is also a problem..." Mo Hua thought about it, then had Gu Changhuai dispatch those few Demon Cultivators guarding the door. Then he tampered with the Formation inside the door, ensuring their security before leaving. They didn't go through the main gate, but instead, concealed themselves, reached the edge of the Demon Palace, and climbed up the rugged mountain rocks of the Demon's Cave, leaving the cave through the excavated opening... Meanwhile, as Mo Hua left the Demon's Cave, Qiao Lao Liu emerged from the inner palace and went straight to the outer palace. The outer palace was deserted. Qiao Lao Liu, known for his brusque personality, cursed, "Where is everyone? Where have they all died?" His voice echoed through the Demon Palace. But there was no reply. Qiao Lao Liu frowned, walked around, took a tour, and didn't see a single person. The Demon Palace was very large and indeed, occasionally there were few people, and quiet, empty places, but it should never be "empty" to this extent. Qiao Lao Liu glanced at the Rotten River below from the corner of his eye and saw the clothing of several Demon Cultivators, while their flesh had been turned into bloody mud, mixed into the rotten green river water. Qiao Lao Liu's expression changed drastically. "Dead?!" He instantly sent a message to the Fire Buddha, "Big brother, something terrible has happened, they're all dead!" Moments later, the doors of the inner palace were opened again. Fire Buddha, tall and with a gentle face but stern demeanor, in a blood-red Kasaya, stepped out of the doors. He lifted his head, then murmured softly: "Such thick Evil Qi..." "So many people have died." "What a pity..." The eyes of the Fire Buddha were cold, and his face showed no joy or sorrow: "It wasn't me who killed them... I can't attract the Evil Qi into my body, can't cultivate the Fire Evil..."
