He took the pill, he became stronger, but Mo Hua went invisible.
The gray-clothed cultivator was completely helpless.
Once the power of the Shixue Dan faded, he wouldn’t be able to leave anymore.
The gray-clothed cultivator roared a few more times with a ferocious face. Even if he was unwilling, he couldn’t stay any longer at this time.
He would settle the humiliation and teasing from that little brat another day.
He forced Bai Zisheng back with one punch, then his body moved extremely fast, rushing towards the corridor, breaking through walls one after another, disappearing into the back building’s rooms.
In the rooms, there was a commotion and the screams of cultivators could be heard.
Mo Hua used the concealment technique to stall until the gray-clothed cultivator’s medicinal power faded and he fled for his life, then slowly revealed himself.
Bai Zisheng asked him: “Want to chase?”
Mo Hua thought for a moment, nodded, “We’ll chase a little, but don’t chase too eagerly, to avoid cornering a dog and making it jump over a wall.”
“Good.”
The three of them then followed the path where the gray-clothed cultivator had broken through the walls, chasing after him.
The gray-clothed cultivator had escaped towards the back building, burrowing into the rooms like a headless fly, hitting walls wherever he saw them, making the entire back building full of holes.
After taking the pill, his physical body was strong, and his strength had greatly increased. The formations used in Baihua Lou were only ordinary, so they couldn’t withstand his attacks at all.
As Mo Hua and the other two chased, they found that in front of them, doors and windows were broken everywhere, and walls were damaged.
They simply didn’t know where that gray-clothed cultivator had escaped to.
Mo Hua released his divine sense and frowned slightly.
Even with his divine sense, he couldn’t perceive anything.
Could there still be secret passages inside this Baihua Lou?
Mo Hua remembered Qing Lan’s words, that this gray-clothed cultivator “often stayed overnight here, but appeared and disappeared unpredictably. We don’t know when he entered or when he left…”
In this way, when his medicinal power faded, he could only think of ways to escape.
And the only way to escape was through secret passages.
Cultivators did have the ability to teleport, but this kind of ability, which involved spatial transformation, was obviously not something that Qi Refining and Foundation Establishment cultivators could use.
Mo Hua pondered for a moment, then said to Bai Zisheng and Bai Zixi:
“Let’s search separately to see if there are any mechanisms or secret passages.”
Bai Zisheng and Bai Zixi nodded.
Bai Zixi said: “Be careful.”
“Okay.”
Mo Hua nodded, then cast the concealment technique, hid his body, and went towards the middle.
Bai Zisheng went to the left, and Bai Zixi went to the right.
As Mo Hua searched for traces of the gray-clothed cultivator, he used his divine sense to pay attention to Bai Zisheng and Bai Zixi’s movements, fearing that something might happen to them.
As he walked, he discovered that Bai Zixi had stopped in a room.
Mo Hua was slightly startled.
Did little senior sister discover something?
He then turned back and went towards Bai Zixi.
Bai Zixi was looking at the scene in front of her and frowned.
A bed had been forcibly broken through, revealing a dark cave entrance below.
This cave entrance should be the entrance to a secret passage.
A male cultivator lay dead under the bed, his chest had a bloody hole dug into it. It seemed that someone had forcibly pierced his chest with their arm, completely destroying his heart veins and killing him.
Looking at the method, it should be that gray-clothed cultivator.
Beside the male, there were several naked female cultivators shivering.
Bai Zixi was considering whether to enter the secret passage to look when she heard Mo Hua’s footsteps.
Mo Hua’s footsteps were very light and very familiar.
“Little senior sister?”
Mo Hua called out once, just about to enter the room.
Bai Zixi glanced at the unclothed female cultivators in the room, suddenly realized something, quickly walked to the door, stretched out her fair and tender little hand, and covered Mo Hua’s eyes.
“You can’t look!”
Mo Hua only felt a pair of warm, soft, and delicate hands covering his eyes, and there was also the little senior sister’s breath in front of him. His face couldn’t help but turn slightly red.
But he still softly and puzzledly said:
“Why can’t I look?”
Bai Zixi said crisply: “Just can’t look!”
“Okay…”
Mo Hua then honestly let her cover his eyes.
After a while, Bai Zisheng also came and was about to say something.
Bai Zixi then lightly glared at him, “You’re not allowed to look!”
“Oh…”
Bai Zisheng then silently covered his own eyes.
The female cultivators in the room were relieved and quickly pulled some silk cloth to cover their bodies. Then they found some clothes and put them on randomly.
Although they were still a little exposed, they were presentable overall.
Bai Zixi then let go of her little hand.
Mo Hua glanced at them, probably understood, then asked:
“Did a strangely shaped, corpse-like cultivator come here?”
The female cultivators nodded and hesitantly said:
“We were just undressing, preparing to serve Young Master Zhao…”
“Young Master Zhao?”
One female cultivator pointed at the male lying on the ground with a bloody hole in his chest, then continued:
“We didn’t expect that monster to suddenly burst in…”
“Young Master Zhao was in a bad mood and cursed, so that monster just clawed through his chest.”
“That monster killed Young Master Zhao, then broke the bed board with one punch, burrowed into the cave entrance under the bed, and we don’t know where he went…”
“Whose room is this?” Mo Hua asked.
The female cultivators looked at each other, and finally one person said:
“It’s Sister Yu Lan’s room.”
“This Young Master Zhao was once Sister Yu Lan’s patron. He drank some wine, and for some reason, he just thought of the deceased Sister Yu Lan, so he forcibly dragged us here…”
They were embarrassed to say the rest in front of Mo Hua.
Mo Hua nodded.
He went to check the cave entrance under the bed. It was dark inside.
Mo Hua shook his head after probing with his divine sense.
“What happened?” Bai Zisheng asked.
Mo Hua said: “It’s blocked.”
“Can we break through?”
Mo Hua shook his head, “There are mechanisms inside. After the formation starts and self-destructs, the earth and stones will completely block the passage. It seems it was used for escape, to cut off the rear.”
“Then what should we do?”
Mo Hua asked: “Did you leave the needle I gave you on him?”
Bai Zisheng nodded, “Three of them. One on his hair, one on his sleeve, and one. After Zixi’s sword qi broke his skin and flesh, I took the opportunity to insert it into his wound and fuse it into his flesh and blood. Looking at him, he shouldn’t discover it in the short term.”
Mo Hua laughed: “Then that’s good.”
After a while, Situ Jin and Situ Fang came in with several executive officers.
They all had some injuries, big or small, and had just taken pills and finished adjusting their breathing.
Situ Jin’s eyes showed gratitude as he looked at Mo Hua and said:
“Thank you, little brother.”
After the gray-clothed cultivator took the pill, his strength greatly increased, and he was not his opponent.
If Mo Hua hadn’t attracted the gray-clothed cultivator’s attention with his fireball technique on the upper floor, and used means to delay him, he would have consumed time and the evil strange medicinal power.
Otherwise, if this gray-clothed cultivator had killed to his heart’s content, the losses on this trip would have been heavy.
Even he himself would probably have suffered heavy injuries.
Situ Jin glanced at Bai Zisheng and Bai Zixi again, his eyes showing amazement and endless praise.
These were truly the proud sons of great families.
With just the cultivation of the Qi Refining realm, they could contend head-on with a Foundation Establishment cultivator, and even injure the gray-clothed cultivator who had taken the pill, greatly increased his strength, and looked like a corpse.
What would happen if they built foundation?
“It’s no wonder they are from the direct line of a true family…”
Situ Jin sighed silently in his heart.
Although the Situ family’s power was not small, it was more than sufficient when compared downwards, but far insufficient when compared upwards, especially when compared to a great family like the Bai family.
This could be seen from the strength of the family disciples.
Mo Hua and the others exchanged polite greetings for a few sentences, saying things like “no need to be polite,” “it should be so,” and so on.
Of course, it was mainly Mo Hua who was speaking.
Bai Zixi’s character was cold and indifferent, and Bai Zisheng was a little arrogant.
This kind of matter still had to be handled by Mo Hua.
Mo Hua also expressed his thanks to Situ Jin, then asked:
“Elder Situ, what will Dao Ting Si do next?”
Situ Jin glanced at Situ Fang, and Situ Fang thought for a moment, then said:
“We already know the appearance of the gray-clothed cultivator. Next, we will report to Dao Ting, verify the portrait, retrieve his native place, and determine his identity.”
Mo Hua was a little surprised, “He’s a bad guy, right? Can you still check this?”
Situ Fang said: “Bad people are not born bad people.”
“Many cultivators with evil deeds, or evil demons and heretics, were also proper cultivators at first. It’s just that their private desires got the better of them, or they took the wrong path, and then they stepped onto the wrong road.”
“As long as they are proper cultivators, Dao Ting will record their native place.”
Mo Hua said: “Then I also have a native place?”
Situ Fang helplessly said: “Are you a proper cultivator?”
Mo Hua nodded, “I’m very proper.”
“Then naturally you do. However, the native place information of ordinary cultivators is relatively simple, and generally Dao Ting Si can check it,” Situ Fang said.
“Then isn’t it very easy for people to check my details?”
Mo Hua frowned.
In his impression, Dao Ting Si was very easily bribed.
Once bribed, wouldn’t anyone be able to check his details?
“Ordinary cultivators are like this.”
Situ Fang said, then she glanced at Mo Hua, smiled and said:
“But suppose your cultivation is high in the future, your formations are accomplished, your identity is prominent, your native place will be encrypted by the central Dao Ting, and generally Dao Ting Si has no right to view it.”
“And every cultivator who views your native place will also be required to explain the reason and be recorded in the file.”
Mo Hua nodded and asked again:
“After determining the identity of the gray-clothed cultivator, how will Dao Ting Si catch him?”
Situ Fang sighed: “This will take some effort…”
“Generally, a wanted notice will be issued, a reward will be offered, and then according to his identity, related cultivators will be found, thereby unraveling the case layer by layer…”
As Situ Fang was talking, she suddenly paused and looked at Mo Hua suspiciously:
“Why are you asking these questions?”
Mo Hua smiled shyly, “I’m learning a bit.”
Situ Fang laughed, shook her head, “You don’t need to learn everything… Leave the matter of chasing to Dao Ting Si, you all go back first.”
“Okay.” Mo Hua agreed, then he thought of something else and asked:
“What about Sister Qing Lan?”
“You mean that little girl?”
Mo Hua nodded.
He was afraid that the madame would hold a grudge and retaliate against Qing Lan.
The women in the mortal world mostly lived like rootless duckweed.
Since Qing Lan had helped him, Mo Hua had to consider everything and give her a way out.
Situ Fang thought for a moment and said:
“Leave it to me. I’ll find the madame, get her contract, and bring her back.”
“Will the madame agree?”
Situ Fang laughed coldly, “She has to agree even if she doesn’t. I’ll just say that this little girl Qing Lan colluded with this criminal cultivator, and her Baihua Lou is also under suspicion.”
“To clear herself of suspicion, the madame will definitely throw Qing Lan, this hot potato, to me, and she won’t dare to keep the contract.”
Mo Hua laughed: “Then thank you, Sister Situ.”
The subsequent matters were handled by Situ Fang and Dao Ting Si.
Mo Hua and the other two then left Baihua Lou.
Before they came tonight, Baihua Lou was luxurious. After they left, it was a mess.
Mo Hua turned back to look at Baihua Lou, and a hint of doubt suddenly arose in his heart.
He remembered that Baihua Lou had a Foundation Establishment cultivator sitting there.
Despite such a big commotion, the Lu family’s Foundation Establishment cultivator didn’t make a move even once.
Was it because they didn’t know and didn’t intervene, or did they know everything but pretend not to know?
Mo Hua frowned again.
Mines, an absolute formation, dead mine cultivators, the Lu family, Baihua Lou, the gray-clothed cultivator…
And the missing Teacher Yan.
Could these be somehow related…
For a moment, Mo Hua’s brows furrowed even tighter.
It’s getting a bit late again…
I want to adjust my work and rest and strive to update on time every day.
