The traitor of Xiao Lingyin Sect betrayed his teacher and extinguished his ancestors, very likely to fall into the demon path, refining corpses for others.

And Yan Jiaoxi… if he is eager for revenge and doesn’t choose his means, it’s also possible to make mistakes and step onto the wrong path.

Mo Hua sighed, very worried for Yan Jiaoxi.

He hopes Yan Jiaoxi is safe and sound, and at the same time, also hopes Yan Jiaoxi doesn’t have a momentary obsession, mistakenly enter the wrong path, and do some bad things.

Yan Jiaoxi’s character is upright, that’s not false, but even the most upright person can inevitably have a moment of anger, not choosing their means.

Bai Zisheng asked: “Are we going to find Zhang Quan?”

Mo Hua nodded, “Yes.”

Now all the clues are on Zhang Quan’s body.

The death of Kuang Xiu, the method of refining corpses, the place of hiding corpses, the complete array diagram of Jue Array, and the whereabouts of Yan Jiaoxi.

These are probably all related to Zhang Quan.

Bai Zisheng’s eyes lit up, and he rubbed his hands, “Let’s go early, I want to kill him!”

These days, whenever he thinks of Zhang Quan’s actions of refining corpses, he gets angry.

Bai Zisheng specifically learned a few Dao Law moves, preparing to use Zhang Quan to practice on.

Immediately, he was again somewhat worried:

“So many days have passed, can we still find him?”

“Hard to say, but there are still clues.”

Mo Hua nodded, and then took out the Si Nan Zi Mu Luo Pan.

On the Luo Pan, there were originally three bright spots, now only one remains.

This also means that there is still one Si Nan Zi needle left on Zhang Quan’s body.

It’s possible that this needle is hidden and concealed, and Zhang Quan hasn’t discovered it.

It’s also possible that he discovered it but deliberately left it, just to lure Mo Hua there, wanting to set up an ambush.

In any case, Mo Hua always has to go see.

He put the zombie back into the coffin, and on the coffin, he drew Jin Suo Array and Han Bing Array, for the purpose of locking the coffin, and at the same time using Han Bing Array to cold store the walking corpse.

To prevent the walking corpse from escaping or rotting.

Early the next morning, Mo Hua called Bai Zisheng and Bai Zixi, and the three of them left Tong Xian City. In an unmanned place, they concealed their figures, and then used body lightening technique, hurrying towards a large area of barren mountains on the west side of Nan Yue City.

Mo Hua had looked at the map of Nan Yue City.

The light point on the Si Nan Mu Array Luo Pan corresponds to the direction of the barren mountains west of the city.

These barren mountains are similar to mines, but there are no minerals to dig among them, and no other products, so cultivators rarely go there, and it’s desolate.

In the mountains, the grass and trees are low and short, mostly pale green or gray brown.

Exposed mountain rocks are dry and white.

Weeds are rooted in rock seams.

Occasionally, unknown demon beasts, from who knows where, emit strange calls that echo in the empty mountains.

Mo Hua squatted behind a big stone, staring at the Si Nan Luo Pan.

Bai Zisheng and Bai Zixi also put their heads close to look.

The movement of the light point on the Luo Pan is very suspicious, always circling in the mountains, suddenly east, suddenly west, as if avoiding something, and also as if deliberately hiding, without any regularity at all.

What is this Zhang Quan doing?

The three of them looked at each other, all somewhat confused.

“Is it a trap?” Bai Zisheng said.

“If it’s a trap, he should stop and set an ambush, what’s the use of randomly running?”

“Also true…” Bai Zisheng nodded, and immediately guessed again:

“Could it be that he discovered it, took off that needle, and then stuck it on a mountain pig or some other demon beast?”

Mo Hua touched his chin, “Possible…”

Bai Zisheng said: “Let’s go see, if it’s Zhang Quan, then catch him, if it’s a mountain pig, then see if it eats meat or grass…”

Mo Hua was startled, “What’s the relationship between eating meat and eating grass?”

“If it eats meat, then kill it, no need to care; if it eats grass, kill it and take it back, I want to eat pork…”

Bai Zisheng looked at Mo Hua with a face full of anticipation.

Bai Zixi slightly sighed.

Mo Hua’s expression was also hard to describe, “I won’t cook it for you to eat.”

Bai Zisheng said righteously:

“I actually don’t care, it’s mainly to honor Master…”

“I kill the pig, you stew the meat, then give it to Master to taste, but Master definitely can’t finish it, as a disciple, I naturally have to share Master’s worries…”

Bai Zisheng’s plans were clanging.

Mo Hua said: “Can’t you do it yourself?”

“You doing it is honoring Master, me doing it is poisoning Master…”

Bai Zisheng was quite self-aware of his cooking skills.

“Okay…”

Mo Hua nodded.

The food in Nan Yue City was indeed mediocre; these days, Mister Zhuang hasn’t eaten much.

Bai Zisheng was greatly happy and hurriedly said:

“Then let’s quickly set off.”

The three of them concealed their bodies, comparing with the Si Nan Luo Pan, searching for the position of the bright spot.

Soon, in the bushes under a hillside in a certain place, they found the position of the bright spot.

Hidden in the bushes was Zhang Quan, not a mountain pig.

It seems that the root array is still on Zhang Quan’s body, and not stuck on a pig’s body.

Bai Zisheng was somewhat fortunate, but also somewhat regretful.

Zhang Quan squatted in the bushes, his gaze patrolling in all directions, seeming to be vigilant about something.

Mo Hua and the other two then concealed their bodies and watched from afar.

After a while, Zhang Quan again tiptoed, drilled into the woods, then turned east and west, and disappeared.

Mo Hua looked at the Luo Pan and pointed in a direction.

Bai Zisheng and Bai Zixi followed him and came to another mountaintop. Looking down, they discovered Zhang Quan emerging from a cave mouth. He again looked around vigilantly, then left an array in his original place.

They were quite far away, so Mo Hua couldn’t see what kind of array it was.

But according to the array’s spiritual power derivation, it seemed to be a trap-type array, like a grade seven or eight pattern. Although obscure, its grade was not high.

Zhang Quan set down the array, then walked down along the mountain road.

After walking for a period of time, he again went to a small road, again drilled into the woods, again found a mountain cave, and again set down an array…

He cycled back and forth, tirelessly, and didn’t know what for.

Mo Hua frowned, “What is he doing…”

Bai Zisheng thought for a bit, “He seems to be guarding against something, probably afraid of people tracking him.”

“Guarding against whom?”

Mo Hua didn’t understand.

Bai Zisheng and Bai Zixi thought for a moment, then both silently looked at him.

Mo Hua was startled, “Me?”

Bai Zixi said: “You can conceal, he’s probably afraid you’re following him in hiding.”

Mo Hua tsk-tsked, “His alertness is so high.”

And on the other side, Zhang Quan’s heart was in chaos.

“Why, why not?”

These days, he vaguely felt something was wrong.

It seemed he was being stared at by something.

His every move was all in others’ grasp.

But he searched his whole body and didn’t find any suspicious things.

Zhang Quan couldn’t solve his hundred thoughts.

But his intuition from years of walking in the dark wouldn’t deceive him.

Someone must be tracking him!

But who could track him without gods knowing or ghosts being aware?

Zhang Quan thought for a moment, then had the answer:

It’s that little ghost!

That little ghost who is skilled in concealment, even Foundation Establishment divine sense can’t see through!

Among the cultivators he knows, only he can use this concealed method, without a trace, like a maggot attached to a bone, following him.

“Truly a lingering ghost!”

Zhang Quan cursed darkly.

He couldn’t be followed by that little ghost!

Zhang Quan released his divine sense, but no matter how, he didn’t find any traces of cultivators—because from the beginning, indeed no one was tracking him.

But his heart was still uneasy, so he thought of all sorts of methods, circling around in mountain caves and woods.

He also put down arrays to test if someone was following him.

But the arrays were intact, completely untouched.

Zhang Quan was still puzzled.

Did he guess wrong, or were that little ghost’s methods too insidious, making him unable to discover them?

Mo Hua also frowned.

Bai Zisheng asked: “Are you thinking of some bad idea again?”

“I’m not thinking of bad ideas!”

Bai Zisheng lightly hummed: “Deceiving others is fine, but you’re even deceiving Senior Brother?”

Mo Hua didn’t pay attention to him, but said doubtfully:

“This Zhang Quan is a bit too vigilant.”

Bai Zisheng pondered for a bit, and slowly said:

“He’s suffered so many losses, been made so wretched, it’s excusable to be a bit vigilant.”

“Being vigilant is right, but he’s excessively vigilant.”

Bai Zisheng looked at Zhang Quan. They were quite far apart, so he couldn’t see his expression, but from his actions, he also felt he was too sneaky.

Bai Zixi’s gaze slightly condensed, “Is he afraid of something being discovered?”

Mo Hua slightly nodded, then raised his head to look in all directions.

The surrounding barren mountains were continuous, one could not see the end at a glance.

This kind of place, looking desolate, but the mountains block things, making it impossible for people to see through to the bottom.

“What is he afraid of being discovered?”

Mo Hua and the other two frowned in deep thought, suddenly raised their heads together, their gazes bright, and they all understood.

“It’s the place where he refines and hides corpses!”

Mo Hua said: “We quietly follow, don’t alert the snake.”

Bai Zisheng and Bai Zixi both nodded.

The three of them just stared at Zhang Quan like this, wanting to let Zhang Quan lead the way, and they would follow the vine to touch the melon, to find Zhang Quan’s corpse nest.

But Zhang Quan’s patience was more ridiculous than they thought.

Another three or four days passed, and he was still wandering in the mountains, drilling east and fleeing west, constantly testing with arrays, road signs, and other things.

Mo Hua felt annoyed just watching, but Zhang Quan still did it meticulously.

“This Zhang Quan is too good at hiding…”

Bai Zisheng complained.

And looking at him, he could “hide” for a long time.

Mo Hua’s gaze, however, sank slightly.

The more cautious Zhang Quan was, the more it indicated that the place where he refined and hid corpses held a big secret, and he couldn’t afford the slightest negligence.

So he wouldn’t take even a little risk, not daring to take any.

As long as there was a trace of worry, he had to completely eliminate it.

Mo Hua thought for a moment, then said:

“Don’t follow!”

Bai Zisheng was slightly startled, “Why not follow?”

Mo Hua looked at the distant barren mountains, raised his small eyebrows, and said:

“We’re already at the door, we can find it ourselves, no need for him to lead the way.”
