Xun Zixian’s gaze trembled, and he immediately pointed with his fingers pressed together, condensing a white sword light that stabbed towards the wriggling blood-patterned white bone stele.

A layer of red light appeared on the white bone stele.

The sword light pierced into the demonic blood-colored light shield and remained in a stalemate for a moment before grinding the blood-colored light shield and causing it to crack inch by inch, cutting into the white bone stele.

A crack appeared on the surface of the stele. Beneath the crack, flesh was wriggling, and at the same time, a miserable, sharp scream was emitted.

“Ghost sound?”

Xun Zixian’s face changed. He immediately covered Mo Hua’s ears, but Mo Hua’s expression remained unchanged.

This level of evil sound still could not shake his mind or divine sense. On the contrary, the other several Jin Dan elders nearby all frowned, their expressions uncomfortable, feeling nauseous and wanting to vomit.

Seeing the miserable, sharp scream becoming more and more piercing, Xun Zixian immediately said, “Act together and demolish this stele!”

The other several Jin Dan elders also knew this bone stele was evil, and they all sacrificed their magic treasures without holding back, bombarding the white bone stele engraved with blood patterns into pieces.

The white bone turned to dust, the flesh evaporated, and the wriggling blood patterns, having lost their attachment, also gradually dimmed until they turned to ash.

The blood qi condensed in the surroundings by the power of the array also gradually dissipated.

Xun Zixian slightly relaxed his breath, but his heart immediately tensed up again.

“This is a three-grade evil array using white bone as the medium, rotten flesh as the base, and blood as ink. There are still many of these nearby. If we just let them be, letting them drink their fill of blood and dead qi, who knows what terrible things will happen…”

Xun Zixian immediately said, “I’ll go call other elders and also inform the Dao Court Division to gather manpower and strive to destroy all these white bone array steles in a short time.”

“Good,” Xun Zixian nodded.

After that, more than ten Jin Dan gathered. Under Xun Zixian’s guidance, they found the blood marsh evil array steles scattered in Yan Luo Mountain one by one, then thoroughly bombarded them into pieces, breaking the arrays.

The blood color in the air slightly faded, but it was still slowly condensing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The evil array of Yan Luo Mountain was still operating.

“Still too slow, probably not enough time…” Xun Zixian frowned.

“Elder,” Mo Hua suddenly said at this moment, “I’ll also bring people to find the white bone steles. We can divide into two routes, which will be faster.”

Xun Zixian looked towards Mo Hua, “A three-grade evil array, can you find it?”

“I’ll try,” Mo Hua said.

Xun Zixian did not doubt Mo Hua’s comprehension and attainments in arrays, but he still had some worries in his heart. He then turned his head and looked towards Xun Zixian.

Xun Zixian understood his meaning and nodded, “I’ll bring several elders to follow Mo Hua and won’t let him encounter danger.”

“Um,” Xun Zixian nodded.

At this time, time was urgent, and they indeed could not care so much.

Xun Zixian remembered something and solemnly admonished Mo Hua, “It’s fine to destroy them, but don’t look more, don’t remember them in your heart, and even more so, don’t learn them.”

Disciples with higher talents also learn evil faster. Once they fall into the wrong path, it’s eternal damnation.

Mo Hua nodded, “Zixian Elder, I understand.”

So the group of people divided into two routes, one led by Elder Xun Zixian, and one led by Mo Hua, to find the white bone array steles and destroy them.

The evil array on the white bone array stele was three-grade, which exceeded Mo Hua’s array level.

But his divine sense, at a distance from a three-grade twenty-pattern array, was only a line away. Not drawing an array, but only finding a three-grade array, was actually not difficult.

Moreover, this evil array was flowing, full of blood, and absorbed a large amount of karma and baleful qi. In Mo Hua’s divine sense view, it was just like daylight ghost fire in general, bright and dazzling.

Mo Hua could even see it at a glance without borrowing array derivation.

Xun Zixian, and also Tai Xu Gate, including several Jin Dan officials from the Dao Court Division, just like this, were led by Mo Hua, walking in the blood-colored poisoned marsh of Yan Luo Mountain.

Mo Hua walked a few steps, and with a sidelong glance, he pointed his finger, “There!”

Xun Zixian and the several Jin Dan elders looked at each other, then all sacrificed their magic treasures and spirit swords, urged their Jin Dan spiritual power, and bombarded the marsh surface water grass open. They indeed saw the bone stele buried at the bottom.

On the bone stele, blood patterns were wriggling.

Xun Zixian and the others no longer hesitated. Blade light and magic bombarded over, the bone stele turned to dust, the blood patterns dissipated, and the evil array was destroyed.

Mo Hua forced himself to avert his gaze from the blood patterns, not looking at those evil array patterns to avoid these dirty evil dao array patterns from polluting his eyes.

But in truth, he actually wanted to look a little in his heart.

He was an array master. An array master exhausts ten thousand laws.

An evil array is also a type of array, and it also contains a kind of “dao” inside.

Moreover, his dao heart was firm, eating evil, refining evil thoughts, and turning them into dao heart, which was relatively resistant to general evil thoughts.

But he still did not look.

Listen to people’s advice and you’ll have a full meal.

Elder Xun Zixian’s suggestion still needed to be listened to carefully. He could not develop an arrogant heart just because his divine sense foundation was strong.

The bone stele shattered, the ghost sound dissipated, and the evil array here was also destroyed. Mo Hua then continued forward. After a moment, he walked to a low-lying area and again pointed to the ground, “There’s also one here.”

Xun Zixian and the several Jin Dan elders again jointly opened the ground, destroyed the stele, and broke the array.

After that, Mo Hua did as before. He pointed to a place, and Xun Zixian and the other Jin Dan cultivators just destroyed that place.

Like this, with him and Elder Xun Zixian working together, the speed of breaking the arrays was more than double.

Soon, the blood-patterned bone steles inside Yan Luo Mountain were almost all destroyed.

The evil qi in the sky also faded.

The blood mist condensed in the air that had not dispersed also gradually evaporated little by little.

Everyone felt as if they had been relieved of a heavy burden.

Mo Hua again gathered with Xun Zixian.

Xun Zixian looked at Mo Hua and nodded gratefully, “Well done, hard work.”

“Elder is too polite, this is what a disciple should do,” Mo Hua said gently and politely. He then turned his head, looked at Yan Luo Mountain, and added, “There should still be some bone steles remaining in this mountain.”

“No harm,” Xun Zixian said, “Poisonous marshes are everywhere here, and the terrain is complex. Now there isn’t enough time, so we definitely cannot clear them all. I will find people to clean them up later.”

Mo Hua nodded.

Then the two of them raised their heads together and looked towards the white fog, miasma fog, and blood fog interwoven in the vast sky, and both frowned coincidentally.

They were both array masters, and both were outstanding array masters. Both could perceive the strange qi mechanism within this bloody evil array that spread throughout the blood marsh of Yan Luo Mountain.

“Open the array with killing?” Mo Hua murmured.

Xun Zixian’s gaze trembled slightly, “All killings must be accompanied by blood, white bones, rotten flesh, and the resentment and fear of people before death, as well as the yin qi and baleful qi after death… these are all the source power of the evil array.”

“The heavier the killing, the greater the power of the evil array.”

“And…”

Xun Zixian turned his gaze from the blood-red sky to the vast earth and frowned.

Just now, during the encirclement and annihilation of the demon sect, the battle was fierce, and more than a thousand cultivators died miserably.

The flesh, resentment, and baleful qi of these cultivators after death were absorbed by the evil array, transformed into evil power, and finally all surged into the earth veins, and then…

Disappeared without a trace…

The vast earth blocked the way, making it impossible to trace the whereabouts of this evil power.

Not only did Xun Zixian not see it, but Mo Hua, who had a resonance with the earth dao essence, also could not perceive the flow direction of the evil array’s power.

The earth’s position is Kun, and thick virtue carries all things.

The earth tolerates everything, whether it is birth or death, good or evil.

The evil power surged into the earth veins, and its whereabouts were unknown.

Moreover, Mo Hua was after all only at the Foundation Establishment cultivation level. Even if his comprehension was one level higher, limited by his realm, he still could not spy on many truths.

Xun Zixian’s gaze was heavy, “There are still people behind the demon sect. This person’s attainments in evil arrays… are immeasurable.”

Mo Hua also nodded.

He guessed this person was Mister Tu, but he was not certain.

Among the minions of the Evil God, there might not be an evil array master more powerful than Mister Tu.

On the side, Xun Zixian, who had understood at this time, his face changed slightly, “So, we are trapped in a scheme? The demon sect deliberately set up this kind of array to let us slaughter the demon sect disciples and create killing with this to make this array operate?”

Xun Zixian’s brows were tightly furrowed.

Mo Hua, however, shook his head, “Not necessarily…”

He had had too many dealings with the demon sect, or rather with the Great Wasteland Evil God behind the demon sect. Some things, he understood more than others.

“This set of arrays is very likely originally designed like this,” Mo Hua said. “Since the demon sect was built here, this place was sooner or later unavoidable to be a bloody battle.”

Mo Hua looked into the distance, towards the dangerous mountains and marshes, and said in a low voice, “This Yan Luo Mountain is destined to be a bloody battlefield. The one who set up the array precisely predicted this point and set up the evil array here early. They were waiting for this destined bloody battle to happen.”

“It’s just that the demon sect was encircled and annihilated prematurely.”

“Otherwise, once the demon sect developed for another ten or twenty years, at that time, the demon cultivators would be numerous, estimated to be not less than tens of thousands.”

“At that time, the Dao Court Division would again come to encircle the demon sect, and there would again be a bloody battle, with casualties likely more than ten times higher.”

“If it truly reached that step, and this evil array was thoroughly nourished, what terrible things would happen is truly unknown…”

Mo Hua’s tone was very heavy.

Xun Zixian and Xun Zixian, including the other elders present, all had solemn expressions.

The atmosphere was also somewhat oppressive.

Xun Zixian sighed, “Evil demons and heretics are indeed deeply cunning, strange and vicious.”

Xun Zixian also nodded. Afterward, his expression was slightly startled, and he silently looked at Mo Hua, his thoughts slightly moved.

Although the demon dao is insidious, this child Mo Hua, just by glancing at the array, guessed the operation method of this evil array, showing that his mind is quick, and his application of arrays and insight into things are not much inferior to that demon head behind.

“Old mister’s worry is indeed right. The more outstanding the talent, the more he cannot be allowed to stray into the wrong path.”

Xun Zixian thought of this and then said to Mo Hua, “The matter of encircling the demon sect is probably concluded. You should follow me back to the sect first. The aftermath matters will be handled by the Dao Court Division.”

Mo Hua hesitated for a moment and then said softly, “Elder, can I go inside the demon sect to look?”

Xun Zixian did not show his intention and asked, “What do you want to see?”

He wanted to see if there were any clues about the Four Symbols Azure Dragon Array inside the demon sect…

But the Azure Dragon Array has the possibility of evolving into the Evil Dragon Array, so Mo Hua was not good at explaining clearly. He only said, “I want to see what the inside of the demon sect is like, and what exactly the demon cultivators did inside.”

Mo Hua originally thought that Elder Xun Zixian would not agree.

But Xun Zixian did not know what he thought of. He only hesitated for a moment and then unusually nodded, “Okay, I’ll bring you to take a look.”

Xun Zixian was somewhat unwilling.

He did not want to go to the demon sect again, let alone let Mo Hua go.

But Mo Hua wanted to go, and Xun Zixian also agreed. He could not argue with these two people, so he just called another several Tai Xu Gate elders to accompany them to prevent any accidents from happening to Mo Hua, so he could not explain it when he went back.

The inside of the demon sect was already broken beyond recognition.

The Dao Court Division and the elders of Tai Xu Gate first bombarded and broke the outer array of the demon sect, and then unfolded a life-and-death fight with the demon sect leader and a group of Jin Dan elders inside the demon sect. Now, the great hall of the demon sect had already collapsed, and there were broken walls and ruins everywhere.

But the many crimes of the demon sect were still left behind.

“Blood slaves” were raised in cages like pigpens, with unclear minds, emaciated to an inhuman shape.

Most of these blood slaves were already dead, having been sucked dry of blood before the battle.

A minority were still lingering, but with blood qi loss and injured foundation, they might not be saved.

Furthermore, some cultivators had been drawn blood from and made into dried corpses, hung on house beams.

“Blood wine” brewed with human blood was stored in the warehouse for demon cultivators to drink.

In the secret rooms, there were all kinds of cruel torture tools. The torture tools were painted with evil arrays that seemed to have no special meaning, appearing purely for the pleasure of torturing people…

Mo Hua walked all the way, taking in all of this.

Some things, knowing and seeing, are actually two different things. Only by personally seeing and personally experiencing can one understand what some matters truly mean.

All of this in front of him vividly told Mo Hua without exception:

In the eyes of demon cultivators, people can be spare “dried food”, can be the “fruits” for brewing wine, can be raised “livestock”, but they absolutely cannot be “people”.

These scenes were deeply engraved in Mo Hua’s mind.

Mo Hua remained silent.

Xun Zixian saw Mo Hua’s expression and then slowly said, “Cultivators’ cultivation levels vary, and their strength varies.”

“Some cultivators, after cultivating to a powerful level, tie their hearts to the world and benefit ten thousand lives with one person’s power.”

“While other cultivators rely on their powerful cultivation to oppress, enslave, cruelly kill, and even arbitrarily slaughter other weak cultivators.”

“This is the difference between the righteous and the demonic.”

Xun Zixian again pointed to the evil dao arrays spread inside the demon sect and said, “Arrays are also like this.”

“Some array masters comprehend the heaven dao and assist the world with arrays.”

“There are also some array masters whose hearts are not right, and they use evil arrays to scheme for themselves. They even extinguish their dao hearts and create a large amount of killing karma to build powerful arrays.”

“This is the fundamental difference between righteous dao array masters and evil dao array masters.”

“Many cultivators live a lifetime of ease and fundamentally do not know what ‘demon’ means. Even with just one thought difference, they feel that falling into the ‘demon’ dao is nothing. They even feel that cultivating into a demon, killing people like hemp, on the contrary seems very imposing.”

Xun Zixian sighed deeply, looked at Mo Hua one last time, and solemnly said, “Cultivating demon might cultivate out power, might call wind and summon rain, but it absolutely cannot comprehend the dao, nor can it become immortal.”

“You must think clearly, do you want to become immortal, or are you purely seeking only power.”

“This question is not difficult to think clearly for a moment. But the difficulty is to experience winds and rains after this lifetime, taste all hardships, let time pass, years waste, and still uphold your original intention, clearly understanding this truth.”

Xun Zixian’s tone was deep.

Mo Hua’s pupils trembled slightly, and he deeply nodded.

After that, he was thoughtful all the way until he arrived at the deepest part of the demon sect and saw the huge blood pool used for cultivation by the demon sect leader. Only then did he slightly recover and examine the blood pool in front of him.

The blood pool was very large, cast with white bones, and surrounded by ferocious demon stone statues.

If this blood pool were to be filled, who knows how many people would have to be killed, and how much blood would have to be put in.

But this blood pool was now empty.

The entire pool of blood was sucked dry by the demon sect leader who bore the power of the evil dragon during the death battle.

Inside the blood pool, evil arrays were spread, but these evil arrays were all ordinary arrays used to warm and nourish the blood pool and keep the blood water fresh and flowing.

It was not that powerful “Four Symbols Azure Dragon Array”.

Mo Hua walked around the blood pool in a circle and still had no harvest. He then gave up and followed the other elders, preparing to set off back to Tai Xu Gate.

But before leaving, Mo Hua suddenly remembered something and then asked Xun Zixian, “Elder Xun, did you encounter a thin Elder with dog patterns tattooed on his body and the surname ‘You’ in the demon sect?”

“Dog patterns?”

“Um,” Mo Hua nodded.

Xun Zixian pondered for a moment and shook his head, “During the encirclement of the demon sect, I fought against more than ten demon sect elders, but I did not see such a Jin Dan demon head with dog patterns engraved on his body.”

Mo Hua frowned.

He didn’t see him…

Did this You Elder get wind of it and run away in advance? Or was he killed by other Jin Dan elders?

“Is this person very important?” Xun Zixian asked Mo Hua.

Mo Hua pondered for a moment and shook his head.

He was somewhat unclear.

Reasonably, this “You Elder” should be a key figure. But he had dog patterns engraved on his body and was like a “lackey.”

A Jin Dan, no matter how good or bad, would absolutely not be willing to be a “dog.”

And although he was deceived by himself, Mo Hua could feel that this You Elder was actually very cunning.

He was deceived by himself purely because his knowledge of arrays was not up to par.

An expert deceives a layman, naturally one deception is one accurate.

Of course, the main reason Mo Hua missed this You Elder was still that this You Elder still owed him one million eight hundred thousand spirit stones.

This account, Mo Hua remembered very clearly.

“Mo Hua?” Xun Zixian saw Mo Hua in a daze, his eyes flickering, not knowing what he was thinking, and then spoke up, “How? Is there a problem with this You Elder?”

“Nothing,” Mo Hua said, “I just asked casually.”

Xun Zixian looked at Mo Hua half-believingly, obviously a little suspicious.

Mo Hua then said, “It’s getting late, Elder Xun, let’s return to the sect, otherwise Old Mister Xun will worry.”

Xun Zixian was immediately diverted and nodded, “Right, let’s return to the sect first.”

The current priority was to first send this child Mo Hua back to the sect. He could not let him wander in this bloody place again, otherwise, if he was contaminated with something unclean, he would not be able to explain it to the old ancestor.

So the group of Tai Xu Gate elders, escorting Mo Hua, rode in a carriage and returned to Tai Xu Gate.

Before leaving, Mo Hua turned back and looked at Yan Luo Mountain.

Yan Luo Mountain was in ruins, the blood fog had not yet completely dissipated, the miasma was also hazy, covering the sky.

Just like there was fog covering something.

The demon sect leader who escaped alive; the Jin Dan demon cultivator from Ten Thousand Monster Valley; the whereabouts unknown You Elder;

And that unknown, wriggling white bone evil array;

These matters one by one floated in Mo Hua’s mind.

Mo Hua had a feeling that he seemed to have already touched upon the body of the Evil God’s conspiracy, but there were still too many things that were hazy and covered in fog.

Especially that dead baleful power that was transformed by the evil array, flowed into the earth veins, and its whereabouts were unknown…

Mo Hua’s heart was involuntarily covered with a layer of gloom.

After returning to the sect, Mo Hua burned incense and bathed, washed away the dust, and then lay down on the bed in his disciple residence.

The karma of the demon sect and the words of Elder Xun Zixian still lingered in Mo Hua’s heart.

Mo Hua could not help but ponder in his heart, “Where exactly is the Four Symbols Azure Dragon Array hidden?”

“Could it be that I really need to kill the demon sect leader to obtain this array?”

Mo Hua again thought of the huge blood pool deep in the demon sect used for the demon sect leader’s cultivation.

“Suppose the Four Symbols Azure Dragon Array really needs to kill many people and put in a lot of blood to successfully warm it…”

“To slaughter a large number of innocent cultivators for my own power…”

“How can I really do such a thing?”

“Elder Xun Zixian said it very well. If I single-mindedly pursue power, sooner or later I will become blind, forget my original heart, and lose myself. In this way, I will instead become a puppet of power. Not that I control power, but that power controls me…”

Mo Hua’s thoughts were mixed for a time.

But these many problems, he could not solve them now.

Coupled with the exhaustion of his mind during this period to exterminate the demon cultivators, the more he thought, the more dizzy he felt. Unknowingly, he actually just fell asleep like this.

Just when Mo Hua was sleeping, without vigilance, a stock of baleful qi gradually appeared following the karma, surged into his sea of consciousness, and seeped into his eyes.

Within the baleful qi were the various scenes of the demon sect cultivators who died miserably after being encircled and annihilated by the Dao Court Division, and the remaining resentment.

These resentments condensed into baleful qi and converged into Mo Hua’s eyes.

In Mo Hua’s unawareness, the “Seven Souls Blood Prison Pupil Technique” he obtained from the Water Prison Gate was quietly operating, quietly cultivating.

Mo Hua’s breath also took on a layer of ice cold.

Within the ice cold penetrated a stock of murderous baleful qi that made people fear, “killing people like hemp.”

And this murderous baleful qi was again mixed with a stock of upright and majestic “slaying demons and eliminating devils.”

Dao Prison.

Batch after batch of demon sect disciples were locked into the prison.

To prevent the evil array from operating and absorbing the dead baleful qi, the Dao Court Division did not kill everyone during the subsequent cleanup.

There were still many demon sect disciples who survived under the blades of the Dao Court Division.

These demon sect disciples were then locked into the Dao Prison.

And all of this was seen by Li San.

The panicked words among the demon cultivator disciples also entered his ears word for word.

Li San instantly felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar.

“Perished…”

“My demon sect… perished?!”

Li San’s whole body strength instantly drained away, and he slumped onto the ground, his eyes lifeless, like a dead fish.

And some idle talk still involuntarily poured into his ears.

“It’s all over, everyone is dead…”

“Nine Elder is dead, Two Elder is dead… all dead…”

“The leader is alive…”

“What’s the use?”

“The demon sect is already extinct, completely finished, from top to bottom, completely, all finished…”

Among these fragmented words, suddenly one sentence drilled into Li San’s ears.

“I didn’t see You Elder, he seems to be still alive…”

“From beginning to end, I didn’t see his figure…”

“Not coexisting and dying with the demon sect, truly a traitor!”

You Elder!

Li San’s eyes suddenly lit up. He could no longer hear the subsequent words. He only heard those few words: “You Elder is not dead!”

Not dead…

Li San’s face was pale, and his thoughts turned quickly. After a moment, his pupils suddenly shrank: “I understand!”

“I finally understand why You Elder wanted to send me into Dao Prison…”

“He was determined that the demon sect would have this calamity! Determined that a large batch of fellow disciples of the demon sect would die miserably!”

“Therefore! He just schemed to send me into Dao Prison!”

“This act is to protect me! Let me avoid this great calamity! To in the future, for the revival of the demon sect… to rise again?!”

“Once we rise again, then am I not the ‘right-hand man’ of the demon sect?!”

“What is the position of a mere Elder?”

Li San’s heart, which had just died, came back to life from the ashes.

His expression was firm, and his faith in “You Elder” became even firmer in his heart.

“You Elder did not deceive me, everything is in You Elder’s plan!”

“Everything he did is right! With such deep scheming, You Elder must have grand plans.”

“And You Elder’s grand plans need me… Now, I need to hibernate well and in the future go through fire and water for Elder…”

In the dark prison, Li San slowly lay down on the ground, closed his eyes. No one saw the burning faith and ambition at the bottom of his eyes.

At the same time, in a pitch-black forbidden secret room.

The yin green candle fire swayed, and the ferocious sheep bones were sinister.

Mister Tu, whose body was covered in blood marks, skin and bones separated, and who was tortured almost inhuman by “divine punishment,” roared in a low voice, “Sooner or later, I will let you Tai Xu Gate… the entire gate be exterminated!!”
