Lu Hui was severely injured, no matter how he struggled, he was no match for the two grade one demon beasts.

The two demon beasts were not going to let go of the meat in their mouths and began tearing and biting at Lu Hui.

The scene was a bit bloody, and Mo Hua felt a little uncomfortable, but Lu Hui deserved it.

After a moment, Mo Hua suddenly felt something with his spiritual sense and said to Zhang Lan, “The cultivators from Dao Ting Si are coming soon.”

He could already sense the auras of the Dao Ting Si cultivators with his spiritual sense.

Zhang Lan nodded.

Lu Hui could die, but he couldn’t be eaten. His corpse had to be preserved at least as a witness for everyone.

Otherwise, who would know what his death had to do with them?

Zhang Lan then shouted loudly, “Bold evil creatures, how dare you kill Lu Dian Si!”

After saying this, Zhang Lan condensed water elemental sword qi and attacked the two demon beasts.

The sword qi hit the demon beasts, causing them pain. They both roared, their eyes showing fierce light as they looked at Zhang Lan.

Mo Shan also took the opportunity to attack the demon beasts, while Mo Hua cooperated by using water prison technique to restrain them.

The water prison technique was weaker against late-stage grade one demon beasts, only binding them for less than a breath, but this brief moment was enough to hinder the demon beasts’ attacks and buy Mo Shan time.

After some twists and turns, Mo Shan finally managed to snatch Lu Hui from the demon beasts’ mouths.

Having the meat in their mouths snatched away, the two demon beasts were enraged. One pounced towards Mo Shan, while the other rushed towards Zhang Lan.

Mo Shan, relying on his deep cultivation and exquisite Dao techniques, began to fight with one of the demon beasts, though mainly focusing on evading and maneuvering.

Mo Hua released fireworks and then used Passing Water Step to maneuver with the other demon beast, thus delaying time.

They were no match for two grade one demon beasts in a frontal fight.

They could only find a way to stall for a while, waiting for the Dao Ting Si cultivators to arrive after seeing the fireworks.

Zhang Lan assisted the two of them with remote attacks using water sword techniques, while secretly feeling surprised.

Mo Shan, of course, was an experienced demon hunter with extraordinary strength, capable of maneuvering with a late-stage grade one demon beast for a while without issue.

But this boy Mo Hua, merely at Qi Refining seventh layer, could actually rely on his movement technique to entangle and fight with a late-stage grade one demon beast, and even hold his own, like the real thing.

Every time the demon beast pounced, whether tearing, grabbing, or biting, Mo Hua could cleverly dodge, displaying the exquisite nature of Passing Water Step to the fullest.

In his spare time, he could also cast several spells.

Either using Fireball Technique to harass, or Water Prison Technique to trap the enemy.

His spells were cast extremely fast, appearing as soon as he raised his hand, so even when maneuvering close to the demon beast, he always had time to condense spells.

Although his spells were like scratching an itch when they hit the demon beast, not causing much damage, they at least solidly hit the demon beast.

And the demon beast fighting Mo Hua, no matter how angry and ashamed it was, couldn’t even touch Mo Hua, let alone scratch an itch for him.

Zhang Lan felt a pang of something in his heart.

Passing Water Step was clearly the Zhang family’s secret technique, yet it was used to perfection by this small cultivator who wasn’t from the Zhang family.

It made him even suspect now whether this movement technique’s surname was Mo or Zhang.

“You’d better not be seen by my Zhang family’s old ancestor, otherwise he’ll definitely force you into marriage.”

Zhang Lan looked at Mo Hua and silently thought.

After they held on for a while, the cultivators from Dao Ting Si rushed over to support them, about fifteen or sixteen people, both from Tong Xian City and Qing Xuan City.

With so many people and their combined strength, the two demon beasts roared a few unwillingly and could only retreat back into the mountain forest.

A cultivator from Qing Xuan City’s Dao Ting Si, seeing Lu Hui, said in great surprise, “Lord Lu! How could you…”

Lu Hui had one arm eaten by a demon beast, his whole body was covered in blood, and his breath was getting weaker and weaker. He had a mouthful of blood stuck in his throat that he couldn’t swallow.

He pointed at Mo Hua, but couldn’t speak.

Zhang Lan then grabbed Lu Hui’s shoulder, shook him hard, and said with a sorrowful expression:

“Lu Dian Si, what’s wrong? Lu Dian Si, speak!”

Lu Hui’s last breath was also shaken out by him. His head tilted, and he died instantly.

Zhang Lan saw this and showed an expression of disbelief, sadly saying, “Lu Dian Si, how could you just leave like this?!”

Mo Hua’s eyes widened.

Zhang Lan was indeed an old hand at Dao Ting Si, acting so realistically.

Anyone uninformed would think he had a deep friendship with Lu Hui.

Mo Hua felt inferior to this kind of acting that was both genuinely emotional and artificial without contradiction.

Zhang Lan confirmed that Lu Hui had indeed stopped breathing, then sighed and said:

“Lu Dian Si first fiercely fought with Bald Dhuta and subdued him. Afterwards, to prevent Bald Dhuta from falling into the demon beast’s mouth, he again desperately fought with the demon beast, and thus unfortunately died in the line of duty. This action, this will, is admirable and respectable.”

Several Zhi Si from Qing Xuan City exchanged glances.

Zhang Lan said this person was their Lu Dian Si? Their Lu Dian Si wasn’t such a person…

The four words “admirable and respectable” had nothing to do with Lu Dian Si in eight lifetimes.

It was even more impossible for him to risk his life for the duties of Dao Ting Si.

Zhang Lan coldly glanced at them, “Lu Dian Si died, and you are still unmoved. Do you perhaps have dissatisfaction with Lu Dian Si?”

Several Qing Xuan City Zhi Si’s hearts tightened upon hearing this. They immediately lowered their heads, put on sad expressions, and cupped their hands, saying:

“Lu Dian Si’s death leaves us deeply saddened and for a time it’s hard to believe. This matter still requests Zhang Dian Si to handle it properly.”

Zhang Lan nodded, “This time, capturing Bald Dhuta, you all have merit, and Lu Dian Si’s merit is even more undeniable. His remains will be transported back to Qing Xuan City for proper burial.”

Lu Hui was dead, and the only Dian Si present was Zhang Lan, so naturally what he said was what was done.

Moreover, in capturing Bald Dhuta, several of their Zhi Si also had merit, so it wasn’t a wasted trip.

As for Lu Dian Si, well, he died.

What could several of their Zhi Si do? They couldn’t possibly oppose Zhang Lan, this Dian Si, right?

Several Zhi Si from Qing Xuan City cupped their hands and agreed: “Then according to Zhang Dian Si’s words.”

Zhang Lan nodded with satisfaction and instructed: “You will first send Lu Dian Si’s remains back to Tong Xian City’s Dao Ting Si. After the Palm Si adult has looked over it, then send it back to Qing Xuan City.”

“Yes.”

The Zhi Si from Qing Xuan City took Lu Hui’s corpse and went down the mountain first. Mo Hua then returned to the valley where the rogue cultivators had gathered with Zhang Lan.

Ji Qing Bai and several cultivators from Dao Ting Si were cleaning up the battlefield. Seeing Mo Hua, and then looking around, they couldn’t help but ask:

“Where is Lu Hui?”

Mo Hua sighed and said, “Lu Dian Si died in the line of duty.”

Ji Qing Bai showed an expression of disbelief.

How long had it been? How could he have died in the line of duty?

That was Lu Hui!

The Dian Si of Qing Xuan City’s Dao Ting Si, who acted like a tyrant every day, doing all sorts of evil things.

So many rogue cultivators in Qing Xuan City had no way to deal with him. How could he just die in the line of duty as soon as he came to Tong Xian City?

Ji Qing Bai thought for a moment, gradually understanding the meaning, and carefully asked, “There won’t be any problems, right?”

Mo Shan glanced at Mo Hua and said helplessly, “We didn’t make a move.”

Mo Hua smiled, “Bald Dhuta and the demon beasts killed Lu Hui. It has nothing to do with us.”

Zhang Lan also nodded, “There is no evidence whatsoever, and Dao Ting Si won’t pursue it.”

Ji Qing Bai was stunned for a while, unable to figure out how Lu Hui could have been killed without leaving any evidence.

But he didn’t need to know. He only needed to know that the evil Lu Dian Si was dead.

A large stone that had always weighed on his heart finally landed.

The rogue cultivators of Qing Xuan City could also breathe a sigh of relief.

Ji Qing Bai cupped his hands and solemnly said, “On behalf of the rogue cultivators of Qing Xuan City, I thank you all!”

Zhang Lan waved his hand, “I didn’t do anything. If you want to thank someone, thank Mo Hua.”

Ji Qing Bai looked at Mo Hua in surprise.

Mo Hua chuckled, “Just a little effort.”

He just raised his hand and released a few water prison techniques; it was indeed just a little effort.
