Mo Hua’s pupils shrank.

This is… the scene on the day the Xie family was annihilated?

Is this the remaining souls’ memories after the Xie family cultivators were slaughtered, burned, killed, and died in agony in this place?

Is this the divine thoughts of the remnant souls?

Under the bright sky, there was a sea of fire in front of him.

Mo Hua endured the discomfort, focused his mind, and wanted to watch this cruel “massacre” to the end…

He wanted to know what exactly happened to the Xie family…

The slaughter of blood and fire continued.

Demon-like sinful cultivators, grinning, raised their killing knives and chopped and dismembered the Xie family cultivators one by one, like slaughtering pigs and cattle.

After the Xie family cultivators were killed, their corpses were gathered together…

But in the darkness, something seemed to be operating.

The subsequent scenes suddenly became blurry.

The color of blood suddenly intensified, the sea of fire spread, covering everything in front of him.

The screams and wails in his ears were also torn apart, intermittent.

It seemed that the next things were taboo.

It was some existence covering up the cause and effect, not allowing Mo Hua to see what exactly happened after the slaughter…

Mo Hua frowned, his pupils pitch black, strange thoughts attached to his body, casting Heaven Machine Deduction to continue spying.

Seemingly perceiving Mo Hua’s spying, the sea of fire suddenly surged, the firelight scarlet like blood, rising against the wind, wrapping up both the slaughterers and the tragically killed, blocking Mo Hua’s line of sight.

Mo Hua ignored it and continued to look.

The sea of fire suddenly boiled.

The fire seedlings spread like snakes, baring their fangs and brandishing their claws towards Mo Hua, seemingly in a demonstration.

But they did not arbitrarily offend Mo Hua.

And Mo Hua also did not have the ability to “see through” this sea of fire.

Mo Hua sighed, knowing that the power covering up the cause and effect was too strong, and his own deduction heat was fundamentally insufficient.

Therefore, his line of sight was fundamentally unable to penetrate the surface of the sea of fire and spy on the true cause and effect.

His “Heaven Machine Deduction” method was based on his Master’s teachings and his own attempts, groped out blindly.

The deduction array was still okay, but the deduction of the heavenly machine was just struggling to make ends meet, quite inferior.

After all, his Master had not formally taught him the true Heaven Machine Deduction.

Or rather, it had not yet come time to formally teach him…

A gentle and doting face floated in his mind again…

Mo Hua’s heart ached slightly.

Soon, the sea of fire retreated.

Mo Hua’s line of sight cleared a bit.

He saw that Fire Buddha and the other ferocious sinful cultivators had already disappeared.

The Xie family cultivators were also nowhere to be seen, as if from flesh to divine sense, all completely “evaporated”.

Mo Hua frowned, not understanding.

Then at this moment, Mo Hua’s heart palpitated.

The cause and effect seemed to have a moment of disorder.

A trace of evil change suddenly appeared, and the scene suddenly changed.

On the ground, strange virtual shadows overlapped, and the Xie family cultivators who had been “dismembered” and died tragically reappeared, densely packed, piled up together, numbering hundreds.

They were like charred wood after being burned, only remaining ashes.

Like livestock slaughtered, their blood drained.

They seemed to have been squeezed dry of everything.

Casually discarded, no one cared.

Soon, the breath of evil change became heavier, and a wave of twisted breath rippled open…

These remnant corpses of the Xie family moved, full of unwillingness, struggle, ferocity, and strangely, they stood up again.

At the same time, their limbs began to deform.

Their original human “hands and feet” gradually became the front limbs of cows, the hooves of horses, as if they were non-human “livestock”…

And they also became a kind of demonic, strange, sinful “evil” thing.

They were already “dead”, yet they were living in an “evil” form.

They were no longer human, but like those who “eat” humans…

“Demon?!”

Mo Hua’s heart was shocked.

Those demons who coveted Yu Er, made Yu Er suffer from nightmares, and were deformed and strange, floated in his mind again…

Mo Hua looked carefully, silently compared them in his heart, and then his gaze condensed.

“No…”

The two seemed very similar, but they were not the same thing.

The demons in Yu Er’s nightmare were the claws of demon spirits, the incarnations of evil thoughts.

Their existence itself was a kind of “thought body”.

While the “livestock” change of these Xie family cultivators in front of him was more similar to the strange change of the heavenly machine, the evil change of cause and effect.

More like…

Dao evil?!

Mo Hua’s heart turned cold, and his gaze became heavy.

He could feel…

Although the signs of evil change were very weak and the scale was very small, everything in front of him was indeed a sign of “great dao evil change”.

Just as Mo Hua was frowning in thought, these “demons” that were half-human and half-livestock after the evil change suddenly had blood-red eyes and looked towards Mo Hua.

They contained hatred and death and wanted to choose people to devour.

While Mo Hua was the only “person” on this level of cause and effect.

These “demons” twisted, struggled, and stood up, then one after another, with ferocious looks in their eyes, rushed towards Mo Hua.

Mo Hua stood in place, his expression calm.

In an instant, killing intent surged.

These “demons” roared, bellowed, with their hands and feet and four hooves together, opened their bloody mouths, and rushed towards Mo Hua.

Mo Hua looked at them silently, with a hint of pity in his expression.

At the same time, behind Mo Hua, a sea of blood rose.

A mountain of corpses suddenly appeared.

All over the mountains were ferocious walking corpses and iron corpses.

A tall and majestic evil-changed corpse king, with scarlet eyes and terrifying breath, ruled over countless corpse groups.

The evil-changed non-humans, the demons who wanted to devour Mo Hua, were all shocked and stopped in fear.

The corpse king’s gaze was cold.

These demons, with only a trace of evil change sign and only a few hundred in number, were just a group of ants in its eyes.

After a moment, the corpse king raised its head and roared in shock.

Countless corpse groups boiled, and the hundreds of demons were shocked and fearful.

Then the sky was dyed with blood, and the corpse groups all over the mountains rushed down directly, like a surging flood, and in just one face, these “evil-changed” demons were thoroughly swept away, torn apart, and killed.

This trace of evil change sign of the Xie family was also thoroughly wiped out.

But after killing the evil-changed “demons”, the corpse groups were excited by their ferocity and all raised their heads and roared, filling the sky with killing intent.

The sea of blood on the corpse mountain became more scarlet.

The breath of Dao evil also became deeper.

Under the sky-covering sea of blood, the corpse king’s breath became more and more violent.

Its ferocious eyes became redder and redder, faintly showing signs of breaking free from bondage and further evil change.

Then at this time, a clear and crisp, yet undeniable command sound rang out.

“Retreat!”

The originally restless corpse mountain instantly quieted down.

The corpse groups all bowed their heads, not daring to make a sound.

The corpse king’s scarlet eyes, soaked with bone-chilling killing intent, surged with violent ferocity, staring dead at Mo Hua, staring at this nominal “little master”, wishing to kill him quickly.

Mo Hua’s gaze was indifferent, confronting the corpse king.

His gaze was clear and thorough, yet it contained an irresistible dignity of a “superior”.

The meaning in his gaze seemed to be, “Don’t make me say it a second time.”

The corpse king touched Mo Hua’s gaze and instantly became furious.

It just wanted to resist, but the imprint deeply branded in its body suddenly hurt again, and its body, the pale blue spiritual hub array patterns, like the laws of the great Dao, the chains of cause and effect, entangled it to death.

The corpse king’s heart was shocked and fearful, and it had no choice but to give up.

Its eyes still showed ferocity and rebelliousness, but its body honestly “submitted”.

The sea of blood retreated, the zombies returned to their nests, and the corpse mountain gradually hid.

Only the corpse king, before disappearing, still looked at Mo Hua with terrifying and sharp eyes…

As if to say: “I’ll be back…”

Thereafter, the corpse mountain and sea of blood completely retreated, and the evil of cause and effect dissipated.

A trace of evil change of the Xie family was also wiped out and disappeared.

The rampant sea of fire also gradually extinguished…

Mo Hua only felt a haze in front of him again, and after the fire and blood red retreated, what replaced it was the dazzling sunlight of the white day, making him dizzy and unable to open his eyes…

“Mo Hua?”

“Mo Hua!”

A series of urgent sounds rang out.

Mo Hua was stunned for a moment, slowly opened his eyes, and found that he was lying beside Gu Changhuai.

Gu Changhuai frowned, constantly shouting his name.

Seeing Mo Hua wake up, he relaxed.

If this child really had an accident, he would really have no way to explain it to his cousin and Yu Er when he went back.

But immediately he became full of doubt.

The scenes just now were still vivid in his mind.

Mo Hua had just entered the annihilated Xie family, his expression was shocked, his face was pale, then his eyes lost focus, he closed his eyes, and just fainted.

It seemed he had… seen something he shouldn’t have…

And what was even stranger was that after Mo Hua fainted, the entire Xie family’s atmosphere suddenly became gloomy and oppressive.

It seemed that something terrible was gradually changing…

Evil spirits were growing.

Under the blue sky and white day, there was still a bone-chilling cold.

Even Gu Changhuai, who was at the Golden Core stage, felt chest tightness and shortness of breath, and his heart palpitated.

And when Mo Hua opened his eyes, everything disappeared again…

Gu Changhuai looked at Mo Hua, his gaze heavy, and asked:

“Exactly… what happened?”

Mo Hua rubbed his eyes, slowly sat up, and at the same time in his mind, the cause and effect of this matter, quickly recalled it.

Sea of fire… Xie family… Slaughter…

Covered by the sea of fire, the mystery was unclear…

Signs of great Dao evil change…

It seemed that none of these could be said.

Once said, it would bring great trouble upon himself.

Especially the matter of “Dao evil”, this was a taboo of the Dao Court…

Mo Hua thought for a moment, then said:

“I’ve been studying array formations too hard, drawing too many, and my divine sense is excessively consumed, so I occasionally faint. I’ll be fine after a while…”

Gu Changhuai listened and knew that Mo Hua was talking nonsense.

He was still full of spirit before, with a pair of lively eyes, blinking, blinking. How could he suddenly faint from excessive divine sense consumption?

This kid definitely had something he didn’t want to say…

Gu Changhuai looked at Mo Hua deeply, and asked:

“Then are you still going to look at this Xie family?”

Mo Hua nodded, “I want to look.”

Gu Changhuai nodded, didn’t say anything, but brought Mo Hua and spent some time wandering around the devastated, scorched black Xie family.

The entire Xie family was reduced to ashes.

All things became scorched ashes.

After wandering around the whole circle, Mo Hua did not find anything abnormal again.

Occasionally, he would find some clues, but these things, Gu Changhuai knew early on.

Gu Changhuai had deep cultivation, rich experience, keen observation, and the intuition of a Canon Officer.

Except for some “unbelievable” matters of heavenly machine cause and effect that Mo Hua could discover, Gu Changhuai had definitely detected them early on.

Some things that Mo Hua didn’t discover, Gu Changhuai could also see.

In the matter of investigating cases, Gu Changhuai was still extremely professional.

Mo Hua followed Gu Changhuai, roughly walked around the Xie family, looking everywhere.

Fire Buddha and the others’ hands were very “clean”.

The Xie family, from people to houses, were burned into scorched earth, and therefore no extra traces were left.

Except for the scene he saw in the sea of fire, there were indeed no other clues.

Mo Hua was a little regretful.

Gu Changhuai saw Mo Hua’s disappointed expression, not surprised.

The Dao Court officers had searched the Xie family inside and out many times, and if there was anything, it would have been discovered early on.

It was impossible to wait for Mo Hua to find anything.

“Let’s go back…”

Gu Changhuai said faintly.

He wanted to bring Mo Hua back to the Gu family and hand him over to his cousin safely and soundly, so that he could also save some trouble.

To avoid any unexpected incidents when bringing this little ghost around.

Just like the one just now…

“Okay.” Mo Hua nodded.

He didn’t find anything, so he could only go back first.

Just as he turned to leave, Mo Hua was suddenly startled, turned his head to look at the ruins of the Xie family again, his brows gradually furrowed.

Gu Changhuai was a little surprised and asked, “What’s wrong?”

Mo Hua thought for a moment, then slowly said, “Uncle Gu, do you have the Xie family’s cultivation building map?”

Gu Changhuai nodded, “Yes.”

“Can you let me take a look?” Mo Hua said.

Gu Changhuai’s gaze sank slightly, “What do you want to do?”

Mo Hua said, “I found a place…”

“Found a place?”

Gu Changhuai frowned, thought for a while, didn’t ask further, but nodded:

“Alright.”

Gu Changhuai found a slightly cleaner place, took out a map from his storage bag, spread it on the ground, and said to Mo Hua:

“This is the building map of the Xie family mansion…”

The map marked the terrain, buildings, and the arrays used on the buildings of the Xie family mansion…

Mo Hua was very familiar with this kind of map.

He carefully checked the building map inch by inch…

In the scene of the sea of fire that appeared just now, after Fire Buddha killed people, the corpses of the Xie family cultivators were gathered together.

After the key scene, it was covered by the sea of fire, covering up the cause and effect, so Mo Hua couldn’t see it.

But although he couldn’t see the secret covered by the sea of fire, he didn’t know what Fire Buddha did after killing people in the sea of fire.

But he vaguely still remembered the nearby scenes.

These scenes were clearly inside the Xie family.

But he had just wandered around and hadn’t found any similar scenery in his memory.

“There should be a place that I overlooked…”

In Mo Hua’s mind, the scenes in the sea of fire were recalled one by one, and then he compared them with the map of the Xie family to find similar places.

Finally, Mo Hua’s eyes lit up.

Above the building map, in a corner of the Xie family’s backyard, there was a hidden pavilion. In front of the pavilion was an empty space, relatively spacious, with side rooms around it and potted plants.

The entire layout and furnishings matched the scene in his memory very well.

Mo Hua reached out and pointed to the pavilion courtyard on the map, “Uncle Gu, let’s go take a look here.”

Gu Changhuai looked at Mo Hua in surprise, and nodded slightly.

Then the two of them followed the map, stepped on ashes along the damaged roads, and came to the location of the pavilion.

The pavilion collapsed around it, the burned and destroyed wooden beams and walls tilted down, blocking the road.

So Mo Hua hadn’t discovered it before.

Gu Changhuai took out a paper fan, waved it casually, a wave of spiritual power stirred up and cleared the road.

Mo Hua continued to walk inside, then walked into the courtyard in front of the pavilion.

This place was located in a secluded corner, quiet and hidden.

The pavilion was also burned and destroyed, and it seemed that the fire here was stronger, and there were fewer remnants of buildings.

The courtyard was a barren mess, and what caught the eye was still a scorched black area, not much different from other places.

The two searched for a while, but didn’t find any clues.

Gu Changhuai turned his head and looked at Mo Hua.

Mo Hua frowned and pondered for a long time.

“There are no traces at all…”

“That’s not right…”

Mo Hua released his divine sense, and in the void white, there was similarly nothing. Only the fire element spiritual power remained in the ruins, and there were no other special places.

“Did I miss something?”

Mo Hua’s brows furrowed tighter. Suddenly, he was startled and couldn’t help but sniff.

“Uncle Gu, have you smelled anything?”

“Smell?” Gu Changhuai also sniffed lightly, frowning and saying, “Scorched smell?”

“No…”

Mo Hua said, then he sniffed again, his gaze slightly condensed.

“Very faint…”

“It’s clear and cool, but a bit strange smell, seems to be a bit sticky, very moist…”

On the side, Gu Changhuai was a little speechless, frowning and saying:

“Are you sure you are saying you smelled something with your nose, not tasted a flavor in your mouth?”

“Hidden in the mouth… flavor?”

Mo Hua was startled, suddenly shocked.

He remembered!

This is…

The taste of golden bone marrow?!

Sheep’s horn offering… divine thought marrow!

This is… the breath of an evil god?!

Mo Hua’s spirit vibrated, he stuck out his nose, sniffed again, then followed this trace of divine thought “smell”, and found a corner in the courtyard.

Mo Hua sniffed again, then flipped it over, and from the corner, he flipped out a pile of scorched black remnants.

Gu Changhuai stepped forward to take a look, also smelled it, and even used his divine sense to look, and finally his expression was a little disappointed:

“Ordinary remnants, nothing special.”

“Just don’t know what was burned…”

Mo Hua shook his head, his face heavy, “This is not ordinary!”

He smelled the “evil god” flavor on it.

Although he didn’t know what these black remnants were exactly.

He couldn’t distinguish them.

But these things were definitely not ordinary.

This was the truth under the cover of the sea of fire, the remnants left after some unknown existence covered up the cause and effect.

It was very possible that a shocking secret was hidden inside.

Gu Changhuai saw the always naive, yet cunning-eyed Mo Hua rarely showing a heavy expression, and couldn’t help but take it seriously.

He took out a storage bag, divided these remnants into two parts, and carefully sealed them.

“I’ll bring them back and find the Dao Court officers responsible for inspection to check what these remnants are…

Are they spiritual tools, spiritual objects, pills, or…

People’s flesh and blood.

Mo Hua nodded, and asked again, “If they find out…”

Gu Changhuai sighed, “If they find out, I’ll tell you.”

“Okay.”

Mo Hua raised his head and looked at the Xie family, which had been burned down and annihilated.

Slaughtered and wiped out the whole family, destroyed the corpses and traces.

Cause and effect covered up.

Traces of evil change.

And…

The breath of the evil god on the pitch-black remnants…

Mo Hua’s brows were tightly furrowed.

He originally thought this was just a cruel and inhumane evil act by a group of sinful cultivators led by Fire Buddha.

But now, it seemed that the water inside was perhaps very, very deep…
