Qianzhou, a certain forbidden area.

An underground secret chamber, gloomy and dark.

In the secret chamber, an altar was set up. On the altar lay a huge, bare white skull with a human face, sheep horns, and ferocious fangs, covered in bloodstains.

Mr. Tu knelt before the skull.

His face was pale with a greenish tint. His fingers were slender, as if they had been soaked in blood for too long; the cracks in his skin were filled with the color of blood.

Mr. Tu’s pupils were empty, as if something had parasitized them. His mouth muttered hoarsely, both as if talking to someone and as if talking to himself:

“That person died, their Dao bone was peeled. The gate of Guixu will open sooner or later…”

“The living must die, the dead must live…”

“The ten-thousand-year plan is about to begin…”

“Everything was originally well calculated…”

“That child… must be obtained. Good is the breeding ground of evil. His blood, his flesh, his sea of consciousness, are the best sacrifices. His divine sense is the best ‘divine fetus’…”

“But… he was ‘stolen’ away…”

Mr. Tu’s numb expression suddenly became painful and angry. Blood seeped from his eyes.

As if he had received some rebuke, his heart was filled with panic and hatred.

“Not my fault, not my fault…”

He said tremblingly. After a long time, he calmed down and continued:

“That child is gone, and I don’t know where he went. To search for him again, heavenly secrets are hard to find, like trying to fish a needle from the sea…”

“But that child still has a mother and a father…”

“He can be reborn…”

“The Four Symbols Demon Array, the Feather Transformation Demon Fetus, defile cause and effect. As long as his mother leaves Qingzhou City, we can confuse the heavenly secrets and capture her…”

“This action will anger the Dao Court, offend the Shangguan family and the Wenren family, and ruin the thousand-year layout in one go. The Qianzhou Demon Child will be dead and wounded to exhaustion…”

“But…”

“To die for the God Lord is their honor.”

“As long as we capture the child’s mother, everything is worth it…”

“With her, we can control Shangguan Yi…”

Mr. Tu gave a cold laugh.

“Shangguan Ce is deeply calculating and emotionless, but for every drink and every peck, his son is deeply emotional, his vital point is obvious, and he is extremely easy to grasp…”

“…Force them to rebirth a child.”

“This child has the direct bloodline of the Shangguan and Wenren families. From birth, he will be held in our hands. He is the best substitute.”

“But…”

Mr. Tu coughed up a mouthful of blood, “…again miscalculated…”

“Someone ruined our cause and effect!”

Mr. Tu said angrily.

His eyes suddenly turned red, and his voice became sharp and mad, not like a human voice: “Who? Who is it?!”

A voice that seemed not human echoed in the secret chamber.

After a long time, Mr. Tu coughed a few times and said calmly again:

“I don’t know…”

“I can’t calculate…”

“No,” Mr. Tu said through gritted teeth, “I dare not calculate…”

“I saw vast fog covering the heavenly secrets, saw endless mountains of corpses, saw vast seas of corpses, saw a pair of blood-red, cruel eyes, saw an exploited abyss, saw the evil change of the great Dao…”

“This is the aura of Dao evil…”

“I…”

Mr. Tu’s eyes showed terror. His teeth chattered. “I… dare not calculate…”

“I will be polluted…”

“I dare not…”

Mr. Tu shivered and trembled, knocking his head against the ground until his head was covered in blood, frequently chanting “I dare not” with his mouth…

But moments later, blood seeped from the skull with the human face and sheep horns.

A stock of evil thought poured into Mr. Tu’s sea of consciousness.

Mr. Tu instantly sobered up, his gaze gradually calming.

“Yes… correct.”

“This is impossible…”

Mr. Tu muttered: “This… it’s impossible that it’s true… Dao evil is just an illusion, a means used to blind heavenly secrets.”

“If there were truly someone who had raised Dao evil… I would already be dead now…”

“This person is a deceiver…”

“He deceived me.”

“Who exactly is he?”

Mr. Tu frowned and asked and answered himself:

“I once wore ‘human skin’ and personally went to that food shop to see… My array was solved, leaving some traces, but the method of solving the array was clumsy and unfamiliar…”

“He definitely did it intentionally…”

“He is playing me, deceiving me!”

“A clumsy and unfamiliar method cannot solve an array. A person who can solve an array would not be so unfamiliar…”

“This person… is very cunning, very insidious, very cunning…”

“He is an extremely skilled array master…”

“He must also be an old monster…”

“What will he look like…”

Mr. Tu began to outline this person’s portrait in his mind…

Middle-aged or older, or an old man, several hundred years of cultivation age, aquiline nose, lines of law, sinister eyes, sharp light contained, very likely gentle on the surface, but when he laughs, he is yin soft and vicious…

Mr. Tu felt he was almost right.

He breathed deeply, his gaze resentful.

“Ruined my God Lord’s great plan…”

“One day, sooner or later, I will drag this person out…”

“His flesh and blood will be offered as three animals to feed the demons; his living soul will be used as a sacrifice to worship the God Lord…”

“I will make him sink into the barren mountain hell, never to reincarnate…”

“I will make him know that the God Lord’s majesty cannot be violated, the master of the great wilderness, undying immortal!”

Mr. Tu’s expression was fanatical, without fear…

And Mo Hua, who always “eats people,” didn’t know that someone else wanted to use him as a sacrifice to “eat.”

He was also eating things now.

Moreover, what he was eating was truly “mountain delicacies and sea tastes.”

To thank Mo Hua, Wenren Wan invited him to a very big and very expensive meal at the largest and most expensive dining building in Qingzhou City!

It was the first time Mo Hua had seen so many fancy, unclear, but just very expensive foods.

He didn’t recognize a single dish on the full table of dishes.

Because it was too expensive, the taste in his mouth felt very subtle.

Mo Hua didn’t know if it counted as delicious or not.

He only felt that he was chewing “spirit stones,” not food…

However, it was good that he was not picky, and he still ate very happily.

Yu’er sat beside Mo Hua. Although he didn’t feel hungry, seeing Mo Hua eat happily, he also followed suit like a little expert, eating whatever Mo Hua ate.

Wenren Wan’s eyes did not blink as she watched Yu’er, afraid that if she blinked, her child would disappear again.

She still felt as if she were dreaming.

Originally, she was just in despair, keeping a ray of hope, but she didn’t expect that she would find the child she thought of day and night just by going out the door.

Wenren Wan felt it was somewhat inconceivable.

And Shangguan Yi found it even more unbelievable.

He heard that Yu’er had been found and hurriedly rushed over. After truly seeing Yu’er, he was both surprised and shocked, and at the same time very puzzled, only muttering:

“This is impossible…”

This does not conform to heavenly secrets, does not conform to cause and effect. Things should not, and it is impossible for them to be like this…

Wenren Wan didn’t give him a good look.

Shangguan Yi was also very sensible and didn’t stay long.

His wife and child were safe, and the stone in his heart had also landed. As for his wife, he would coax her slowly later.

Shangguan Yi expressed his thanks to Mo Hua and said: “Little friend, if you have any needs in the future, just say so. The Shangguan family…”

“Not rare.” Wenren Wan said coldly, “Hurry up and leave. When you are here, I have no appetite.”

Shangguan Yi smiled bitterly, helplessly left, only before leaving, as if thinking of something, looked at Mo Hua, not knowing what he was thinking.

Besides Shangguan Yi, Mo Hua also met a young master with the surname Gu.

He was extremely handsome, fanning a paper fan, with an air of romance, but he looked a bit arrogant.

Wenren Wan said: “This is my cousin, surnamed Gu, named Changhuai.”

Mo Hua politely said: “Hello, Uncle Gu.”

Gu Changhuai was extremely surprised, but only said some words of gratitude. Besides this, he didn’t ask anything, stayed for a while, and then took his leave.

When he took his leave, he also looked at Mo Hua.

In his arrogant eyes, there was deep suspicion.

Mo Hua quietly asked Wenren Wan: “Aunt Wan, this Uncle Gu, is he not very popular? He looks at people strangely…”

Wenren Wan was startled, then couldn’t help but laugh and said:

“Don’t mind him. Changhuai has a good heart, but he is young and frivolous, and a bit arrogant.”

“And it’s the first time he’s seen you, so he’s a bit unaccustomed, and his attitude is a bit cold. Don’t take it to heart.”

“Okay, okay.” Mo Hua nodded.

“Right,” Mo Hua asked again, “Is that handsome and gentle uncle the father of Yu’er?”

Wenren Wan said with some disdain: “Yes…”

She simply told Mo Hua about Yu’er’s identity.

Yu’er is the child of the marriage between the two great families, Shangguan and Wenren. He possesses the most direct bloodline of the two families, so Yu’er’s full name is “Shangguan Yu.”

Mo Hua was eating what looked like a chicken leg, but he didn’t know what spirit beast or flying bird’s leg it was. His face was calm, even a little blank.

“Do you know the Wenren family?” Wenren Wan couldn’t help but ask.

Mo Hua shook his head.

“How about the Shangguan family?”

Mo Hua still shook his head.

He came from a small place like Tongxian City and was almost completely ignorant of the affairs of the Qianzhou families.

Although the Qianzhou map he obtained also simply marked some families, Mo Hua didn’t pay much attention…

His attention was all on the large sects in the Qianxue state boundary.

And these families were complicated.

They said this one also has a background, that one also has an origin, and their forces are how big, how big, and they have several thousand years, even ten-thousand years of history…

Mo Hua simply couldn’t distinguish who was who…

Wenren Wan was a bit surprised. She didn’t expect that Mo Hua really knew nothing.

“You… are not a cultivator from Qianzhou, right…”

Wenren Wan asked tactfully.

“Um,” Mo Hua nodded, “I am a loose cultivator. My home is in Lizhou. I was born in a second-grade small immortal city. Both my parents are only in the Refining Qi stage…”

Wenren Wan’s mouth fell open. She was even more surprised. “Then you… how did you come to Qianzhou?”

“I came to seek learning!”

“Are you alone?”

“Yes, my parents are very busy, and they are both only in the Refining Qi stage. The road is too dangerous. I am not at ease leaving them, so I came alone…”

Wenren Wan didn’t know what to say. She felt that this child’s words were reversed…

Then she sighed silently in her heart.

No wonder they say that children from poor families become heads of households early.

Lizhou to Qianzhou, ah, the road is so far. Traveling alone, crossing mountains and rivers, eating wind and sleeping dew, there are also demonic beasts, and various ill-intentioned cultivators…

This is not only a problem of cultivation, but it also requires rich experience, extraordinary means, firm will, and indomitable determination…

And Mo Hua looked like just a child in his teens.

At his age, children from families were all still cultivating carefree, not knowing the hardships of the world and the dangers of human hearts…

Wenren Wan looked at Mo Hua and inexplicably felt a little heartache.

She instructed Yu’er: “Later, you must learn more from your Brother Mo…”

“Okay, okay!” Yu’er repeatedly nodded.

Wenren Wan affectionately touched Yu’er’s head. Suddenly, a doubt arose in her heart again. Looking at Mo Hua, she hesitated for a moment before asking:

“Then… how did you save Yu’er?”

Mo Hua was Yu’er’s life-saving benefactor. Out of politeness, Wenren Wan did not carefully pry with her divine sense.

But from the surface, it could be seen that Mo Hua was only in the Foundation Building stage.

His blood energy was very weak, and his spiritual power was not strong either. He came from a loose cultivator background, his family was poor, and he didn’t seem to have any good spiritual tools.

Even if he had a superior spiritual tool, with his spiritual power, he might not be able to exert its power.

How could such a small cultivator save her Yu’er?

He couldn’t possibly, by himself, kill more than ten human traffickers…

Mo Hua said shyly: “I was just lucky. I just happened to pass by and saw those human traffickers. I don’t know why they all died. Yu’er was locked in a box inside. I just ‘picked’ him back and brought him to Qingzhou City…”

Mo Hua still used that set of rhetoric.

He was just a passing, kind-hearted little brother.

He was just that little bit lucky.

The death of the human traffickers had nothing to do with him.

Wenren Wan was a little stunned when she heard this, but she also couldn’t help but suspect in her heart.

All this was too coincidental…

How could human traffickers just die for no reason?

How could he just happen to pick up Yu’er?

It was a bit fishy…

Seeing that Wenren Wan didn’t quite believe him, Mo Hua thought for a moment, then sighed, showing a look of “lingering fear”:

“Speaking of which, this is also because Yu’er has deep fortune and a big life.”

“If my luck had been a little worse and I hadn’t bumped into him and he had been picked up by others, that would have been troublesome.”

Wenren Wan’s heart jumped.

That’s right!

If he had been “picked” up by other cultivators with ulterior motives or schemes, then Yu’er might have been in danger!

She carefully thought about it again for a while and felt more and more that what Mo Hua said made sense.

Shangguan Yi had told her before that Yu’er was secretly calculated and abducted back and forth by a high-level person who had set up a plan. Originally, there should have been no chance of escape…

But human calculation is not as good as heavenly calculation.

By chance, Yu’er was instead saved by Mo Hua, this child.

Doesn’t this just prove that Yu’er has deep fortune and good opportunities?

As a mother, who doesn’t hope that her child has deep and abundant fortune?

Wenren Wan’s heart became smooth.

Of course, Mo Hua, this child, also had good “luck.”

But Mo Hua had good luck. Shouldn’t she feel happy herself?

If he hadn’t been lucky, he wouldn’t have been able to save Yu’er, and she might never have seen Yu’er again…

The more Wenren Wan thought about it, the more she felt it made sense, and she involuntarily nodded.

Mo Hua was right!

Yu’er just had good fortune!

Since Yu’er could have good fortune, why couldn’t Mo Hua, this child, have good luck?

What problem could there be with a lucky child saving a child with good fortune?

Thinking of this, Wenren Wan’s heart was firm. She believed it by seven or eight points. After that, the more she looked at Mo Hua, the more she liked him, and the more grateful she felt in her heart. Then she sincerely said:

“Mo Hua, you have great kindness to the Shangguan and Wenren families. What do you want?”

Mo Hua was startled, instead feeling a bit embarrassed.

He had saved Yu’er casually. Now asking for benefits seemed a bit like taking advantage of someone’s misfortune?

Moreover, he quite liked Yu’er.

Aunt Wan was also very kind to him and even invited him to eat good things.

Mo Hua thought about it and felt that even if it was a reward, he would just let them help him with a small favor.

“Aunt Wan, can you send me to Qiandao Sect?”

Although this place is said to be the Qianxue state boundary, it is located on the edge of the state boundary, and the Qianxue state boundary is a fifth-grade state boundary. The territory is extremely large. It would still take some time for him to rush over by himself.

If he delayed the time and missed the sect, it would not be good.

Wenren Wan misunderstood. She was a little ashamed and a little hesitant to say:

“Qiandao Sect is one of the ‘four great sects.’ The threshold is extremely high. It might be difficult relying on the Wenren family’s connections…”

Mo Hua was startled, then shook his head and said: “Aunt Wan, just send me over…”

Wenren Wan was puzzled, “Send you over?”

“Um.”

Mo Hua thought about it and felt that Yu’er was kind-hearted, Aunt Wan was also very nice, and the Wenren family was also a big family. It seemed there was no need to hide it. So he continued:

“I have an entry sect order…”

Wenren Wan was startled, and her voice trembled as she said: “Qiandao Sect’s… entry sect order?!”

I’m working on it. There will be one more chapter later.

I will send it when I finish writing.
