Mo Hua released his spiritual sense again and perceived the maze for a bit, slightly shaking his head.
Although it was a maze array, it was not the Mystery Heaven Great Array.
Its scale had not reached the level of a great array.
It was like disassembling a small-scale Mystery Heaven array from the Mystery Heaven Great Array and “re-arranging” it.
It was far from the vast and boundless, dense and intricate Mystery Heaven Great Array he saw in his sea of consciousness when he first established his foundation, like a sky curtain…
Moreover, the style of this Mystery Heaven array within the maze was vastly different compared to the Mystery Heaven Great Array in his sea of consciousness.
It was from the same source but different flows.
It was like a variation of the array.
Or…
It was like being copied from somewhere, restored and supplemented, and then reconstructed…
Looking from the outside, the entire array was profound and obscure, intricate and confusing.
If Mo Hua’s sea of consciousness hadn’t been reconstructed through the Mystery Heaven Great Array, with all the array patterns deeply branded in his spiritual sense, he might not have even recognized that this was a Mystery Heaven Great Array…

“But why?”
Mo Hua frowned.
The Demonic Hall, or rather the Holy Hall in the hearts of demonic cultivators, why would it use the Mystery Heaven array to construct its core building?
The Mystery Heaven array…
Did they just use this array to build a maze, confuse sight and sound, and hide secrets?
Or did this array itself contain some special meaning?
Moreover, demonic cultivators used the Mystery Heaven array to construct a maze.
Then this array wouldn’t be… a demonic path evil array, would it?
Could his spiritual sense, reconstructed with a demonic path evil array, have undergone a “qualitative change”?
Mo Hua frowned and thought for a moment, feeling that it shouldn’t be the case…
“Heaven Derivation Art” was given to him by his master and was an ancient cultivation method.
It was highly likely that this array was just an ancient cultivation method itself, which didn’t inherently distinguish between righteous and evil, and it just happened to be discovered by demonic cultivators and used to build the “Holy Hall”…
Even if he didn’t believe the cultivation method, he had to believe his master…
Mo Hua nodded.
As for the exact mystery of this Mystery Heaven array, it seemed he needed to explore thoroughly in the depths of this inner hall…

Fortunately, this maze array, although a re-array, was not too difficult; at least it was far inferior to the true “Mystery Heaven Great Array”.
Mo Hua glanced a few times and had a rough idea in his heart.
“Follow behind Uncle Gu and the other executives of the Dao Court Division and sneak in to see…”
Mo Hua said silently in his heart.
Half a day passed, but the cultivators of the Dao Court Division here still had no action.
Mo Hua was puzzled, “Why aren’t they going in?”
They had clearly broken the inner hall gate, but instead, they stopped.
He turned his head and saw the Xiao family there, a group of people whispering, their expressions anxious, not knowing what they were saying.
Among them, several people had shocked faces and kept shaking their heads:
“Inside the inner hall, there’s a maze built, and within this maze, an array is hidden…”
“This array… is extraordinary… unbelievable…”
“Never seen before, never heard before…”
“We only know it’s an ancient mystery array, but what kind of array it is specifically, and what profound mysteries are hidden inside, we can’t determine…”
“Young Master… please be cautious, don’t enter rashly…”
Xiao Tianquan frowned, “You can’t figure it out?”
Several array masters of the Xiao family all shook their heads and said:
“Only a few elders of the Xiao family with extensive experience in array path, or the old ancestor of the Xiao family from Tianji Pavilion, can see through these arrays…”
Xiao Tianquan’s face was ashen, and he asked in a low voice:
“For the first task, you want to go back and ask the old ancestor? How will the old ancestor see this?”
“They will think I have no decision-making ability and can’t be relied upon, and in the future, will they still cultivate me?”
“And those elders…”
“The Xiao family doesn’t have just one direct line like me. If I don’t make some achievements, they will definitely sneer and ridicule me, and they will always look down on me in the future…”
“Even if the maze is dangerous, we must enter!”
Xiao Tianquan’s face was stubborn.
Several array masters of the Xiao family all frowned bitterly and thought, “If we want to enter, we need to spend some time and properly ponder…”
“Otherwise, if we get trapped inside the maze, we’re likely to suffer the treacherous plot of the demonic cultivators…”
“We must plan carefully…”
Mo Hua listened from the side, feeling somewhat unbelievable.
How could this group of array masters be so weak…
This level of mystery array, can’t they see how to navigate it at a glance?
Even if they can’t see it, can’t they calculate it roughly by calculating more?
At least they were operating within the Qian Xue state boundary.
The Xiao family should also be a large family.
Even if they didn’t have the inheritance of the Mystery Heaven Great Array, they should at least have the inheritance of general “mystery arrays”, right?
Mo Hua remembered very clearly.
When his master first taught him to solve “mystery arrays,” he said that mystery arrays were things used by disciples of aristocratic families in the world for “benefiting intelligence and leisure.”
It was just like solving lantern riddles during the Lantern Festival.
But now, looking at these array masters of aristocratic families in the world, they didn’t look like they would use mystery arrays to benefit intelligence and leisure?
Mo Hua was suddenly a little confused.
Could his master… have deceived him?
Or was it just that the Xiao family’s standards were too low?
The Xiao family was still whispering and discussing animatedly…
Mo Hua was anxious.
If he didn’t want to show off publicly, he would have already come out to lead the way.
There were still three days left, and he was still waiting to catch the Fire Buddha. Relying on this group of “novices,” how long would they delay…
Mo Hua then looked at Gu Changhuai.
Gu Changhuai also heard the conversation of the Xiao family array masters, and was just frowning, when he suddenly saw Mo Hua beside him, his gaze somewhat subtle.
Gu Changhuai was already quite familiar with Mo Hua, and seeing this kind of look, he was stunned for a moment and asked in a low voice:
“You wouldn’t… even know this maze array, would you?”
Mo Hua nodded, “I also know a little about this…”
Gu Changhuai was a little speechless.
You, this child, don’t you understand too many arrays?
He had heard the Xiao family array masters say earlier that they couldn’t understand this array and wanted to go back and ask the old ancestor of the Xiao family’s Tianji Pavilion.
You say you also know…
Isn’t that… being able to act as the “little ancestor” of the Xiao family?
Gu Changhuai felt more and more that Mo Hua, this child, was possessed by some old monster or evil being.
Otherwise, how could a cultivator in his teens have such profound experience in arrays?
Gu Changhuai frowned again.
But supposing he really was possessed…
It would be impossible for him to enter the mountain gate of Taixu Gate.
He feared that as soon as he stepped onto the steps of Taixu Gate, he would be chopped off by a single sword from those legendary terrifying sword cultivator great powers in the back mountain of Taixu.
Taixu Gate’s reputation in the eight great gates now didn’t seem prominent.
But thinking back to the beginning, sword cultivators emerged in large numbers.
Sword intent pierced the sky, breaking all ten thousand laws of the world, chopping all evil demons.
Human corpses, evil demons, gods, all could be chopped with a single sword…
It was just a pity that times had changed now, and both people and swords were sealed, and very few people could remember.
Even he himself only heard some rumors when he was seeking knowledge in the sect in the beginning.
Gu Changhuai sighed.
He looked at Mo Hua again.
Now the sword dao of Taixu was in decline, but unexpectedly, they had actually “picked up” a small monster in the array dao…

“Can you lead the way?” Gu Changhuai asked.
“Yes.” Mo Hua nodded.
“Alright,” Gu Changhuai looked around and said in a low voice, “Wait a bit, you just follow behind me and point the way for me, but you yourself should be low-key, don’t show off, lest you attract attention and suffer people’s jealousy…”
“Rest assured, Uncle Gu, I understand.”
Gu Changhuai nodded slightly, then stood up and instructed:
“Everyone, form array teams and follow me into the maze.”
The executives looked at each other.
Xiao Tianquan frowned even more and hurriedly said:
“Canon Si Gu, the array within this maze is intricate and complex, profound and unfathomable, we must…”
Gu Changhuai glanced at him coldly, “What I say is what it is, just do as I say.”
A trace of anger appeared on Xiao Tianquan’s face, but he still slightly lowered his head and gritted his teeth, saying:
“Respectfully obey the Canon Si’s command.”
As for what he was thinking in his heart and what he resented, Gu Changhuai could see it at a glance.
But Gu Changhuai didn’t care either.
“Enter the maze, according to the previous arrangement, five people in a group, form a queue…”
“Encountering demonic cultivators, strike first, no need to show mercy.”
“I’ll emphasize it again…”
Gu Changhuai’s gaze slightly condensed, “No need to show mercy, strike must strike to death!”
“These demonic cultivators are vicious and cunning, they kill people like cutting hemp, as long as they have one breath, it’s possible that you all will die…”
The over four hundred executives of the Dao Court Division all had stern expressions and cupped their hands, saying:
“Yes!”
Subsequently, Gu Changhuai took the lead, and Mo Hua followed closely behind.
The other executives drew out their standard spirit tools, their expressions vigilant, and successively walked into the maze.
A trace of unfathomable gloom appeared in Xiao Tianquan’s eyes, and then he also followed in.

The maze was cast from ancient old bronze.
Mystifying mystery arrays were engraved inside.
Inside, it was intricate and complex, without knowing the direction, and all the walls looked the same. No matter where they walked, they all seemed to be walking in the same place.
They fundamentally didn’t know the way.
But Gu Changhuai walked in front, seemingly knowing the path in advance, leading the crowd little by little towards the center of the huge maze…
“Worthy of being Canon Si Gu!”
A crowd of cultivators felt admiration for Gu Changhuai.
Xiao Tianquan was also shocked in his heart.
He couldn’t understand how Gu Changhuai knew the way?
What method did he use to judge the direction?
Gu Changhuai wasn’t an array master and wasn’t proficient in arrays.
Even these “professional” array masters of the Xiao family couldn’t see through the mystery array and find the direction of the maze.
How did Gu Changhuai distinguish it?
Xiao Tianquan frowned, his mind full of questions with no solution.
They all didn’t notice that at every fork, Mo Hua, who was following beside Gu Changhuai, would secretly pull Gu Changhuai’s sleeve with his hand.
Whichever side Mo Hua pulled towards, Gu Changhuai would subtly walk towards that side.
It seemed that Gu Changhuai was leading the way.
In reality, Mo Hua was pointing the way.
Occasionally, when encountering complex forks, Mo Hua would stop, release his spiritual sense, and seek out the accurate exit.
Gu Changhuai would also take the opportunity to let everyone stop and rest.
A crowd of executives felt somewhat inexplicable.
But they didn’t dare to question Gu Changhuai’s command.
And at this time, Xiao Tianquan noticed Mo Hua next to Gu Changhuai again.
He pretended to walk forward and exchanged a few words with Gu Changhuai, then asked by the side:
“This little brother is…”
Gu Changhuai had always brought this little ghost in the early stage of foundation building.
Initially, he felt that this little ghost’s qualifications were average and not worth asking about.
But unexpectedly, he actually stayed by Gu Changhuai’s side, never leaving…
Even in this complex, difficult-to-measure, and dangerously unclear inner hall maze, Gu Changhuai actually brought him along.
This was just very suspicious…
Gu Changhuai’s expression was cold, and he didn’t answer.
Mo Hua felt that Uncle Gu was being impolite like this, so he said on his behalf:
“I’m following Uncle Gu to gain experience.”
In a sense, it was the truth and also gave Xiao Tianquan some room for “fantasy”.
Gain experience?
Xiao Tianquan was startled, then suddenly understood.
So that’s how it was…
He estimated that this was a disciple with a significant background, who was following Gu Changhuai, this Canon Si, to see the world and gain some experience.
He might even gain some qualifications, which would be beneficial for his future promotion in the Dao Court Division.
But…
The seemingly always unfeeling Gu Changhuai actually agreed?
Could this little ghost have a deep connection with the Gu family?
But… why were his qualifications so inferior?
They were even somewhat negligible…
Which family’s senior great power’s nephew would have such inferior spiritual roots and such barren blood energy?
Was there a problem with the spiritual root inheritance?
Xiao Tianquan was very confused.
But he also knew to be very sensible and didn’t ask again.
It was very taboo to inquire about the background of such a disciple with a “big background”.

After that, the crowd continued to hurry.
After walking for a while, Mo Hua stopped, and Gu Changhuai also stopped.
“What happened?”
Mo Hua said in a low voice: “The perimeter is a mystery array, if we continue walking, there will be a killing array within the mystery array.”
“Moreover, it’s very likely that demonic cultivators are still lurking within the killing array.”
Gu Changhuai understood in his heart.
The purpose of the demonic cultivators was twofold: to obstruct and to trap and kill.
Next, it would be a real tough fight.
Gu Changhuai instructed in a low voice:
“Everyone, there’s a killing array ahead, be careful, if you encounter demonic cultivators, kill without mercy!”
“Yes!”
The executives of the Dao Court Division said in a low voice.
After walking forward for about an incense stick of time, the bronze walls ahead changed.
There were different array patterns on different walls.
There were variations of the Five Elements Array and also variations of the Eight Trigrams Array, forming strange and peculiar shapes, and in addition, there were some bloody, poisonous, strange, and evil arrays.
These arrays were embedded within the maze.
They were not integrated with the mystery array, but they borrowed the concealment of the mystery array to lay down the killing arrays.
Mo Hua’s expression was slightly stern.
The other cultivators also had solemn expressions.
Gu Changhuai took out a folded paper fan, held it in his hand, and slowly said: “Go.”
The cultivators of the Dao Court Division then formed groups of three or five, formed arrays, passed through the killing arrays, and moved towards the center of the maze.
After walking for a while, everything was calm.
Those walls engraved with evil, strange, and poisonous killing array patterns also showed no anomalies.
The crowd held their breath and continued to walk forward…
Suddenly, a chill gradually rose, and from a bronze wall, a pair of pale ghost claws silently stretched out.
Long, long nails suddenly stabbed into the shoulder of an executive, dragging him towards the inside of the wall.
There was green blood poison on the nails.
That executive’s body was half numb and unable to move, and he was about to be dragged into the bronze wall.
Gu Changhuai flicked his folded fan, and a white wind blade flashed past, cutting off that pair of pale ghost claws, including the roots.
Ink-green blood spurted out, and a shrill ghost cry rose.
Subsequently, more sinister voices responded.
As if a battle horn had been blown.
Pair after pair of white ghost claws stretched out from inside the bronze walls, dense like spider webs, and like the limbs of centipedes, grabbing towards the cultivators of the Dao Court Division one by one.
And other evil arrays were also activated.
There were Blood Fire Arrays, Corpse Transformation Arrays, and also sinister demon power poison needles, blood-colored evil power blade lights…
Demonic cultivators hidden within the huge bronze walls, using the concealment of arrays, also revealed their claws and fangs.
They held white bone blades, blood poison swords, soul-refining banners… and many other demonic path evil tools in their hands, each with a ferocious expression and excited gaze, killing towards this group of Dao Court Division executives.
Although the cultivators of the Dao Court Division had been guarding early, they were still caught off guard by the sudden attack.
Some young executives who had not yet experienced life and death slaughter immediately turned pale and were at a loss.
There were also some who saw the situation was bad and wanted to temporarily desert.
The cultivators of the Dao Court Division were immediately in chaos.
Fortunately, some experienced old executives in the crowd took action, calmly responded, refined their bodies, and rushed forward to fight, blocking the first wave of offensive from the demonic cultivators.
Spirit cultivators covered with spells, and other cultivators also sacrificed spirit tools and talismans.
This just stabilized the situation.
The sound of slaughter gradually rose, and spirit power and evil power intertwined, the scene was chaotic and bloody.

Mo Hua sighed.
He also had no good way.
The maze was originally a trap.
The evil arrays inside were also arranged in advance, very sinister and concealed, seemingly having taken a lot of time and effort.
It was likely the handwriting of that “Yuan Master”.
Mo Hua could see through the maze and predict danger in advance, but he was only one person after all, and his research on evil arrays was not extensive, and his ability was limited.
For a while, he couldn’t do anything about these many evil arrays…
Gu Changhuai also understood this and said: “You don’t need to worry about these, just lead the way.”
The urgent matter at hand was to get out of this maze killing array.
They couldn’t be trapped inside the killing array.
Otherwise, even if the executives were numerous and strong, they would still be massacred and exhausted by these demonic cultivators using the advantage of the maze and killing array.
“Yes.” Mo Hua nodded.
Gu Changhuai instructed in a low voice again:
“Gu An and Gu Quan, you two protect Mo Hua.”
“Yes.”
Gu An and Gu Quan said in a low voice.
Gu Changhuai then raised his head and commanded loudly:
“The others, follow Gu An and Gu Quan, form a long array, always rush forward, don’t fall behind, and don’t get entangled in fighting, I’ll guard the rear!”
So Mo Hua then ignored everything, displayed his movement technique, and always rushed forward.
Gu Quan opened the way in front, and Gu An protected Mo Hua’s side.
The Gu family’s Dao Court Division cultivators behind followed closely.
The other executives also obeyed the command, guarded and helped each other, formed a long array, displayed their movement techniques, and always rushed forward…
When encountering demonic cultivators on the way, they would fight a few rounds.
If they could kill, they would kill, if they couldn’t kill, they wouldn’t get entangled in fighting, and they would continue to walk forward.
When encountering arrays obstructing them, they didn’t care about treating injuries.
If they went out, they could live, if they stayed, they could only die.
Gu Changhuai guarded the rear, waving his folded fan, scattering wind blades one after another, executing all the demonic cultivators he saw, helping the cultivators of the Dao Court Division leave the killing array and go to the deeper part of the maze…

This battle was quite tragic.
There were Dao Court Division cultivators who were injured, heavily injured, and even died.
Bloodstains were everywhere on the bronze walls.
Corpses lay on the ground, and there were also broken limbs with flowing blood.
Fortunately, with Gu Changhuai, this Gold Core cultivator, suppressing the array, the casualties of the Dao Court Division were not too serious.
And there were already dozens of demonic cultivators who died under his wind blades.
Just like this, Gu Changhuai killed at the back, and Mo Hua led people to run at the front, bypassing countless intricate walls, and suddenly, the front opened up.

Reflected in their eyes was a majestic great hall.
Bronze walls neatly surrounded the four sides.
The great hall was extremely spacious but also empty, with twelve pillars engraved with demon patterns, five or six people thick, standing tall, supporting the solemn top of the great hall.
There were ancient murals on the four sides, engraved on the bronze walls, extending from both sides to the dim distance.
Lamp holders were cast from white bones.
Fresh red candle flames illuminated the great hall eerily and strangely.
There seemed to be other furnishings in the hall originally, but at this time, everything had been destroyed, so it appeared empty and very discordant.
And in the center of the great hall stood one person.
He was tall and robust, with a compassionate face, wearing a blood-red kasaya, appearing both dignified and gloomy.
This person was none other than Fire Buddha!

Mo Hua’s gaze sharpened, and then he immediately hid himself, quietly retreating behind the crowd.
A group of Dao Court Division executives then held their knives and rushed forward, standing ten Zhang away from Fire Buddha, their knife lights gleaming, confronting him.
But although they were numerous, deterred by Fire Buddha’s notorious name and fearsome momentum, no one dared to act rashly for a while.
Soon, other cultivators also rushed out of the maze killing array and came to the great hall.
More and more cultivators of the Dao Court Division were in the great hall.
Xiao Tianquan also came in, holding a precious long sword in his hand, his dao robe stained with blood, his face very ugly.
And when he saw Fire Buddha standing motionless as a mountain in the center of the great hall, his gaze became gloomy, but also faintly revealed a trace of excitement.

After a while, Gu Changhuai, who was at the rear of the hall, also walked into the great hall.
His breath had weakened quite a bit.
His handsome face was smeared with blood.
But this blood was not his.
The moment he saw Fire Buddha, the originally somewhat tired Gu Changhuai’s eyes instantly revealed sharp light, and his killing intent surged.
And at the same time as Gu Changhuai stepped into the great hall, Fire Buddha, who had been closing his eyes to nurture his spirit and recite Buddha numbers, suddenly opened his eyes.
His eyes were fiery red.
His whole body’s fire system spirit power surged.
The scarlet kasaya on his body moved without wind, stirring under the spirit power, like a scorching sea of fire, tumbling nonstop.
Specks of sparks scattered in all directions, floating and extinguishing.

“Gu Changhuai…”
Fire Buddha’s expression was calm, but his gaze contained chilling killing intent.
“Long time no see…”
Gu Changhuai’s expression was cold, “Evil creature, your death day has arrived…”
Fire Buddha smiled coldly, “Buddha doesn’t save people, cultivators save themselves.”
Gu Changhuai didn’t say any more nonsense, and again took out the jade bone folded fan, his whole body’s white spirit power, like the wind, danced and rose, turning into wind blades one by one.
The cultivators of the Dao Court Division on all sides also held bright knife blades and gradually surrounded Fire Buddha.
Fire Buddha’s face showed neither joy nor sorrow, neither fear nor anger.
He opened his arms, and his body’s kasaya suddenly became intensely red, and his fire system spirit power, like fresh red magma, surged and tumbled.
And in his chest, a fierce fire roared.
Two dazzling fireballs, like twin hearts, carried surging spirit power and pounded vigorously.
Fierce flames rose, entwining his whole body.
His whole person’s momentum was extremely astonishing, just like a fierce fire demon beast wearing human skin and containing endless demon power.
And that fierce fire contained boundless killing karma, seemingly able to burn everything and extinguish everything…

A crowd of cultivators looked alarmed.
Gu Changhuai’s face was like cold ice.
Mo Hua’s gaze was also shocked.
This was clearly the powerful fire system forbidden technique forbidden by the Dao Court Division…
Falling Fire Technique!!
