Chapter 452: Grievances | Trận Vấn Trường Sinh
Trận Vấn Trường Sinh - Updated on May 15, 2025
“The water in Nanyue City is truly very deep ah…” Mo Hua sighed again.
What forces are behind Walking Corpse Village, and what people are behind Zhang Quan? Mo Hua still has no clues.
He can only look at the Dao Court Division side to see if they can get anything out of Zhang Quan’s mouth.
Mo Hua didn’t go to ask.
Because Zhang Quan would indeed not tell him.
Zhang Quan hated Mo Hua to death.
He was also almost angered to death by Mo Hua.
If Mo Hua were to ask him, it would be good if he didn’t get brain congestion; there was no way he would get any information.
And now the clues for the Ling Shu Array and Walking Corpse Village are all on Zhang Quan.
Only by getting something out of Zhang Quan’s mouth can they continue the investigation.
Only by investigating the cultivator or force behind Zhang Quan can they find higher-level Ling Shu Array patterns.
Mo Hua can use this to restore the complete Ling Shu Array.
And truly master the twelve-pattern Ling Shu Array.
For the remaining time, Mo Hua was still carefully comprehending the incomplete Ling Shu Array.
The Ling Shu Array is the key to this matter.
A cultivator who can control Iron Corpses with the Ling Shu Array is absolutely not to be underestimated.
This hidden conspiracy in Nanyue City is also necessarily extraordinary.
Be prepared, use array to break array.
Only with more understanding of arrays can one think of countermeasures when encountering danger in the future.
This day, after Mo Hua finished drawing arrays, he steamed some tea snacks, gave some to Mr. Zhuang to have with his tea, chatted for a few sentences, and after bidding farewell, he gave some to Instructor Yan again.
Instructor Yan sat in the courtyard lost in thought, worried, with a sorrowful expression on his face.
Mo Hua placed the tea snacks on the table and poured Instructor Yan a cup of tea. He couldn’t help but ask:
“Instructor, is there something on your mind?”
Instructor Yan wanted to speak but stopped, shaking his head, “Nothing.”
Mo Hua’s gaze moved slightly, “Is it about that traitor from the Small Ling Yin Sect?”
Instructor Yan paused, then said bitterly:
“You all know?”
“Mhm mhm.” Mo Hua nodded, “Manager Mo told me.”
Instructor Yan sighed helplessly:
“This junior brother of mine really can’t keep his mouth shut…”
Mo Hua asked: “Is that traitor in Nanyue City now?”
Instructor Yan didn’t want to say too much.
Mo Hua then blinked his big eyes and looked at him.
Instructor Yan hesitated, then said helplessly:
“Sect grievances, I don’t want to drag you into it…”
Mo Hua shook his head: “It doesn’t matter, perhaps I’m already dragged in.”
Instructor Yan was startled, thought for a moment, and felt that was also true.
Walking Corpse Village was exterminated under Mo Hua’s leadership; he was probably deeply involved.
But Instructor Yan still hesitated a little.
Mo Hua then said softly:
“And I’m very familiar with Nanyue City. The Lu family, Nanyue Sect, Dao Court Division, Mine Cultivators, Hundred Flowers Building, I have some connections with all of them. I can help you inquire about news.”
Instructor Yan heard the key point and widened his eyes, saying:
“You’re also familiar with the Hundred Flowers Building?”
Although he hadn’t been there, he knew it was a brothel as soon as he heard the name.
This child, at such a young age, hasn’t learned properly. How did he end up frequenting this kind of place?
Mo Hua hurriedly waved his hand:
“I’m not familiar, but I know an elder surnamed Su, he’s very familiar…”
“Elder Su?”
“An Elder in the Foundation Establishment stage from Nanyue Sect,” Mo Hua said.
Instructor Yan was slightly startled.
He had been in Nanyue City for years, but he didn’t recognize many cultivators.
Mo Hua had only been here for a few months, how had he already gotten to know so many cultivators…
Instructor Yan thought again, he had heard from an elder of the Situ family that Mo Hua was already a First Grade Array Master.
A First Grade Array Master ah…
He never thought that in just two or three years, the child who needed to ask his student for advice on arrays with three or four patterns back then had already surpassed him, officially attained a rank, and become a First Grade Array Master…
This talent is truly frightening ah…
Instructor Yan’s heart was both excited and melancholy.
Immediately, he also understood clearly that the current Mo Hua, although still looking young, could no longer be treated as an ordinary child.
During the time at Walking Corpse Village, Mo Hua acted with courage and strategy, and was elusive.
Instructor Yan saw all of this with his own eyes.
Even the Foundation Establishment stage Corpse Cultivator at Walking Corpse Village was toyed with by Mo Hua.
And he himself was able to escape from Walking Corpse Village thanks to Mo Hua.
Thinking of this, Instructor Yan’s attitude towards Mo Hua unconsciously became much more serious.
He pondered slightly, sighed lightly, then opened his mouth and said to Mo Hua:
“That traitor is indeed in Nanyue City…”
“How do you know?”
“I saw him drawing arrays in Nanyue City.”
Instructor Yan sighed and continued: “Although so many years have passed, his arrays have advanced, and his drawing style is vastly different, but the subtle brushwork, I recognized it at a glance!”
“Only I inquired everywhere, but no one knew whose hand these arrays were from, and where they came from…”
Instructor Yan’s expression was disappointed.
“What’s that traitor’s name?” Mo Hua asked.
Instructor Yan seemed to recall unpleasant memories, hesitated for a long time, then slowly said:
“His surname is Shen, and his name is Cai.”
“Shen Cai?”
Mo Hua frowned, “There doesn’t seem to be this person in Nanyue City…”
Someone who can draw arrays, and whose array strength is close to First Grade, or even above First Grade, and who has been entrenched in Nanyue City for a long time, must not be an unknown person.
Mo Hua has mostly seen the well-known array masters in Nanyue City.
Even if he hasn’t seen them, he has mostly heard of them.
But there is no such person as “Shen Cai”.
Mo Hua asked: “Did he change his name and surname?”
Instructor Yan nodded slightly, “Probably not only changed his name and surname, perhaps also changed his appearance…”
“Changed his appearance…”
Instructor Yan gritted his teeth and said:
“He betrayed his master and destroyed his ancestors; he must suffer everyone’s scorn. That face, he probably doesn’t dare to keep it.”
“This is a bit troublesome…” Mo Hua murmured.
His name is changed, his face is also changed, his identity is unknown, only knowing some similar array drawing techniques; indeed, it’s not easy to find him.
And if they inquire too much, it’s also easy to alert the enemy.
The cultivation world is so vast, once he runs away, finding him is like finding a needle in a haystack.
“Are you looking for him because you want revenge?”
Mo Hua asked cautiously.
Instructor Yan’s eyes flashed with pain, finally turning into deep bitterness: “So many years, the desire for revenge has already faded. I just want to find him and ask him personally, stealing the Ling Shu Array is one thing, but why did he still have to kill Master? Master treated him so well…”
After Instructor Yan finished speaking, he sighed deeply again:
“And there’s one more thing, it’s the Ling Shu Array diagram.”
“I want to find this array in my lifetime to console Master’s spirit in heaven.”
“The Small Ling Yin Sect is no longer here, but I hope this array can be passed down and not be forever covered in dust…”
The Ling Shu Array diagram…
Mo Hua thought for a moment, took out an array diagram, and handed it to Instructor Yan:
“Instructor, is this the one?”
Instructor Yan was startled, glanced at the array in Mo Hua’s hand, and was completely stunned.
With trembling hands, he took the array diagram from Mo Hua’s hand, his pupils involuntarily shaking, and he murmured:
“Right… right…”
Instructor Yan looked at Mo Hua with a face full of disbelief, “This… this of yours… how did you obtain it?”
Mo Hua simply said: “This is deduced and restored based on the array patterns on the bodies of the Walking Corpse and Iron Corpse, using divine sense…”
Deduced… restored…
Instructor Yan was lost in thought for a moment.
He couldn’t understand…
Instructor Yan suddenly realized that although he had already highly regarded Mo Hua, he might still have underestimated Mo Hua’s array level.
Knowledge like deduction, even within the array inheritance of the Small Ling Yin Sect, was never mentioned…
Mo Hua said again: “But unfortunately, this is only a partial array, not complete.”
Instructor Yan heard this, lowered his head to look, and also discovered that the array was incomplete, his expression a little regretful.
Immediately he thought of something else, and a vague sense of anticipation rose in his heart. He tentatively asked:
“Can you, can you learn this?”
Mo Hua shook his head, “Not yet, I’ve only learned a little.”
Instructor Yan was startled, “A little?”
“Mhm.” Mo Hua nodded, then took out a wooden tiger from his storage bag and placed it on the table.
Instructor Yan was a little astonished, “This is…”
“A part of the Ling Shu Array is drawn inside this tiger.”
Then Mo Hua used his divine sense to manipulate this wooden tiger.
The wooden tiger then seemed to come alive, running and pouncing on the table, rolling over, then standing upright, holding a teacup with both hands, presenting it to Instructor Yan, and then even making a bow.
Instructor Yan’s mouth was wide open, speechless.
He is an array master, so he understands that the various actions this tiger just made under the urging of the array contained extremely profound and complex array principles.
Mo Hua gave the wooden tiger to Instructor Yan.
Until Mo Hua bid farewell and left, Instructor Yan was still looking at that tiger, dazed.
It was a long time before he came back to his senses.
It’s the Ling Shu Array ah…
Moreover, without any evil strangeness or opportunistic methods.
This is the first time in his life he has seen someone use the Ling Shu Array to achieve such exquisite control of spirits.
Instructor Yan was shocked in his heart.
At the same time, he was also a little relieved.
It was as if the depression and frustration of years of searching everywhere alone, blindly persisting, and bitterly seeking revenge, had all been alleviated.
The gray and oppressive days also had a ray of light.
He could also slightly see the road ahead.
Instructor Yan looked up at the sky, his expression complex, and he murmured:
“Master ah, our Small Ling Yin Sect’s ultimate array, finally someone can learn it…”
“And they are learning it in a true and proper, upright and just way…”
After Mo Hua left, he was still thinking about Instructor Yan’s words.
The traitor of the Small Ling Yin Sect.
The enmity of betraying one’s master and destroying one’s ancestors.
Instructor Yan said that after so many years, the desire for revenge had faded, but there was still a deep obsession in his eyes.
The hate was not strong, but the obsession was very heavy.
Meaning, he doesn’t hate anymore, but this traitor must die.
From Instructor Yan’s tone at that time, he was probably willing to perish with this traitor.
Mo Hua sighed.
Although he was unwilling to admit it, Instructor Yan’s Dao method was actually very weak.
He had put all his efforts into arrays.
Even letting him perish with the enemy would probably be a bit difficult.
If he were really to go seek revenge, in the end, the danger would probably still be on Instructor Yan himself.
Mo Hua thought for a moment, then nodded.
If Instructor Yan can’t take revenge, then he will help him.
Repay kindness with kindness, and enmity with enmity.
He had received Instructor Yan’s favor; helping him take revenge is only right.
Moreover, Mo Hua also really wants to know if the cultivator who drew the Ling Shu evil array for Zhang Quan is this traitor from the Small Ling Yin Sect.
Sorry, it’s a bit late.
There’s still one more chapter later.
