How is this possible?

How could a large family like the Land family allow a cultivator who married in to become the head of the family?

Moreover, before this, Mo Hua had never heard a whisper of this matter.

Mo Hua asked, “How do you know?”

Shui Sheng said, “My mother told me.”

Mo Hua was slightly surprised in his heart.

Shui Xianzi knew about this…

“Does anyone else know?” Mo Hua quickly asked again.

Shui Sheng thought for a moment and said, “In the Baihua Building, Aunt Xiangxue and Sister Danxiang, they also seem to know.”

“Then they…”

Shui Sheng sighed, “They are all dead.”

Mo Hua’s gaze slightly narrowed, “Then, have you told anyone else about this matter?”

Shui Sheng shook his head, “No. I don’t have any friends, and my relationship with my fellow disciples is not considered good. Master, I also haven’t told him…”

Mo Hua slightly relaxed, then his expression became serious again, and he instructed:

“This matter, absolutely do not tell anyone again. It’s best to forget it and never mention it again.”

Although Mo Hua was not very familiar with the family, he also knew that generally speaking, it was a taboo within the clan for the family head to be a son-in-law who married in.

Once it was exposed, even Shui Sheng would likely be silenced.

Shui Sheng didn’t understand why, but seeing Mo Hua’s serious expression, he also nodded seriously.

Suddenly, he thought of something and frowned, asking:

“Is my mother also because of this matter…”

Mo Hua shook his head, “Not necessarily…”

He said this, but Mo Hua estimated in his heart that Shui Xianzi’s death was very likely also related to the Land family head.

Mo Hua looked at Shui Sheng and instructed again:

“These days, stay in the mansion, follow your master, don’t go out, and don’t talk nonsense. Just properly learn the array formations.”

“Learning the array formations well is the most important thing, and your mother will also be happy.”

Shui Sheng was silent for a moment, then slowly nodded.

Mo Hua’s gaze, however, gradually turned cold, his expression still somewhat disbelieving.

The Land family head… Land Chengyun.

Married in…

If he really married in, then this Land Chengyun is very likely the traitor of the Xiao Lingyin Sect!

But the problem is, how is this possible?

The Land family is a big business with many direct descendants, why would they do something like this?

Let a son-in-law be the family head?

Or…

What exactly did Land Chengyun do to be able to override opinions and successfully become the head of the Land family?

This matter is more troublesome than previously thought.

If the traitor of the Xiao Lingyin Sect was just an elder or an offering, after Mo Hua exposed him, he could even use Land Chengyun’s hand to get rid of him.

But now, this traitor is very likely the Land family head himself.

From the current perspective, being an enemy of Land Chengyun is being an enemy of the entire Land family.

Being an enemy of the Land family…

Does he want to take down the entire Land family?

Mo Hua frowned slightly, “A bit troublesome…”

Mo Hua was lost in thought, pondering for a long time, when he suddenly remembered that Land Chengyun was in the Su mansion at this time, drinking tea and discussing matters with Elder Su in the front.

“Let’s run first!”

Mo Hua made a decisive decision in his heart.

Land Chengyun’s cultivation is very deep, considered to be at the peak of the Foundation Building early stage, just one step away from the Foundation Building middle stage.

He is still the traitor of the Xiao Lingyin Sect, and he also knows array formations. Moreover, he is the head of the Land family, and his techniques and Dao methods are definitely not bad, even if they are not as good as those of the younger senior and junior disciples from the noble families of the world.

It’s best not to take risks alone; it’s best to slip away.

But he can’t be too cowardly, lest he arouse Land Chengyun’s suspicion.

Mo Hua instructed Shui Sheng a few more sentences, then got up and left, came to the front courtyard, and openly went to bid farewell to Elder Su:

“Thank you, Elder Su, for your hospitality. I have had enough tea and want to go back to learn array formations, so I won’t bother you.”

Elder Su got up and said:

“Young master is free to come and go, I won’t see you off then.”

Mo Hua cupped his hands and said, “Elder, please stay.”

Then he cupped his hands to Land Chengyun again and said, “I have been rude.”

Land Chengyun also cupped his hands and smiled, “Young master is too polite.”

Mo Hua then pretended to be half-understanding and walked out of Elder Su’s cave mansion.

Elder Su looked at Mo Hua’s back, somewhat amused, shook his head, and joked:

“Although he is already a first-grade array master, he is still childlike after all. He probably got tired of playing and is thinking of going back…”

Land Chengyun also smiled gently.

Halfway through his smile, his expression suddenly stiffened. The smile remained on his cheeks, but there was no smile in his eyes.

After leaving the Su mansion, Mo Hua walked towards the back.

He looked slow, but he was actually walking fast.

As he walked, Mo Hua planned his next steps.

First, he needed to find a way to confirm whether Land Chengyun had married in.

If so, then he must be the traitor of the Xiao Lingyin Sect.

At that time, he would have to find a way to call people and take down the Land family.

On his side, his master and Mu Ou should not take action.

Then there were only himself, the younger senior and junior disciples.

On the side of the Dao Court, there was still Si Tu Fang.

Behind Si Tu Fang, there was the Si Tu family.

But to be an enemy of a power as strong and deeply rooted as the Land family, the Si Tu family might not be willing.

Even if they were willing, their manpower might not be enough.

Land Chengyun’s cultivation is deep, there is no need to say more.

He has the Land family behind him and a group of Land family Foundation Building cultivators.

The elders of the main family of the Land family, the offerings, the salaried guests, and the external cultivators he has attracted, are estimated to have at least twenty more Foundation Building cultivators…

More than twenty Foundation Building cultivators.

This is too troublesome.

Even if the Si Tu family was willing, it would not necessarily be able to mobilize so many Foundation Building cultivators in the second-grade Xiao Huang State.

Moreover, the head official of Nan Yue City is also corrupted by the Land family and is in cahoots with them.

His actions will inevitably be hindered by them.

Reporting to the Dao Court and requesting the transfer of Dao soldiers is a good way.

But this is not Tongxian City.

The head official is not on his side, and he will likely cause trouble everywhere.

“Really no other way…”

Mo Hua looked at the Land family and silently said in his heart:

“Should I use array formation collapse to send the entire Land family to heaven?”

But Mo Hua shook his head again, this is not too good either.

Once the array formation collapses, spiritual energy reverses, and all things are annihilated. It is estimated that no one in the Land family can survive.

This way of killing is too karma-heavy.

The Land family should die, but not every clan member should die.

Moreover, his master also instructed him not to collapse array formations unless absolutely necessary.

Even if he uses it, he should not let people see it.

Mo Hua sighed.

It seems he can only go back and make plans again.

He needs to find a way to investigate Land Chengyun’s background, find out how he rose to power, why he wants to buy zombies, stockpile corpses in the mine, and what his plot is.

Then he will find a way to design and take him down.

Seize the Ling Shu Array Diagram in his hand!

To avenge Instructor Yan, resolve the grievance of the Xiao Lingyin Sect, he can also learn the complete Ling Shu Array, thereby learn the true first-grade twelve-pattern ultimate array, comprehend the structure of the spiritual energy hub, and further enhance the power of divine sense manifestation…

Mo Hua planned very well, walking and thinking at the same time.

But as he walked, Mo Hua suddenly stopped.

He hesitated for a moment, changed roads, and made a big turn.

After walking for a while, Mo Hua was stunned again.

Then he turned left again, making a big turn.

But after turning several times, Mo Hua found that no matter how he turned, there was a Foundation Building cultivator waiting for him in front.

And the surroundings, he didn’t know when, were already laid with manifestation arrays.

In places where there were no manifestation arrays, there were Foundation Building cultivators blocking the road, holding a compass-like spiritual tool in their hands.

Mo Hua didn’t know what kind of spiritual tool this was.

But by eye measurement, it should be used to detect hidden cultivators.

A full eight Foundation Building cultivators, more than ten manifestation arrays, six sets of detection spiritual tools…

Mo Hua was also sensible and did not use his hidden techniques.

The street was still lively, and the surrounding cultivators were unaware.

Mo Hua just hardened his face and walked forward stubbornly.

After walking for a while, he found Land Chengyun sitting at a roadside tea stall not far ahead, dressed in brocade clothes.

Land Chengyun was calmly drinking tea, with two elders standing behind him. Their breaths both indicated Foundation Building cultivation.

Mo Hua hardened his face, pretended not to see him, and walked forward in his own way.

He didn’t even look at Land Chengyun when he passed by him.

Land Chengyun put down his tea cup and said somewhat helplessly, “Young master.”

Mo Hua still pretended not to hear.

Land Chengyun had no choice but to shake his head. The two Foundation Building cultivators behind him then blocked Mo Hua’s way and politely said:

“Young master, the family head has an invitation.”

Mo Hua was stunned, “Family head?”

He turned his head, pretended to have just seen Land Chengyun, and said with a surprised expression:

“Family head Land, why are you here? Weren’t you just drinking tea with Elder Su?”

His acting skills were slightly clumsy.

Land Chengyun was speechless for a moment.

Mo Hua definitely discovered him early, which was why he took several long detours, making him walk several extra circles and lay several more manifestation arrays.

Land Chengyun didn’t bother with it, but smiled:

“Young master, do you not want to see me?”

Mo Hua said strangely, “Why does Family Head Land say that?”

“You are avoiding me.”

“How is that possible? Didn’t we just meet?”

“Just now…”

“Oh, just now I suddenly remembered that I forgot to buy some things, so I temporarily changed roads to go buy some things.”

Mo Hua’s hands were empty, but he lied without blushing.

Land Chengyun then gave up.

This young master is very clever and a bit of a rascal.

If he were to continue talking nonsense with him here, he would probably talk until evening without a single proper word.

Land Chengyun then went straight to the point:

“I want to ask young master to do me a favor.”

Mo Hua tactfully said, “The Land family is a big business, and Family Head’s cultivation is also extraordinary. I, a small cultivator, probably can’t help you.”

Land Chengyun shook his head, “This favor cannot be done without young master’s help.”

Mo Hua knew he couldn’t refuse, so he only said:

“Alright, what favor do you want me to help you with?”

Land Chengyun’s gaze slightly chilled, and he said faintly:

“I want to ask young master to help me refine a corpse!”

Mo Hua blinked, “Refine a stone?”

He immediately nodded: “Yes, what stone is on this mine that needs me to help draw array formations to refine?”

Land Chengyun paused.

He really didn’t expect Mo Hua to be so young and so rascal.

Land Chengyun sighed, “Not refine a stone, it’s refine a corpse.”

“Refine what?”

“Corpse.”

“Corpse?” Mo Hua still pretended to be confused, “What corpse? I don’t know.”

Land Chengyun said, “Young master is humble, you stole an iron corpse, dismantled it to study array formations, and how could you not know what kind of corpse it is?”

Mo Hua was slightly surprised in his heart. It seemed that Land Chengyun knew everything.

He probably couldn’t fool him.

Mo Hua only said, “What I learn are all proper array formations, I will not refine corpses.”

“It doesn’t matter,” Land Chengyun smiled, “It’s very easy to learn, with young master’s talent, you will learn it in one go.”

Mo Hua was helpless.

It seems that having too much talent is also a kind of trouble.

No wonder they all say that people are afraid of being famous and pigs are afraid of being strong. Once you have a reputation, you will be remembered.

Mo Hua pondered for a moment and said doubtfully:

“For iron corpses, Family Head Land you can refine them yourself, you shouldn’t need me, right?”

Land Chengyun was silent for a moment, his warm and elegant face suddenly smiled strangely, revealing a mouthful of white teeth, his eyes showing a cold light, containing vigorous ambition:

“Not an iron corpse…”

“It’s a stronger zombie that surpasses iron corpses…”
