“Who dares cause trouble on the Rouge Boat? You have a lot of nerve…” This Core Formation cultivator had an indifferent expression and an ice-cold tone.

The room instantly fell silent, and the atmosphere became somewhat heavy.

Even Shui Yanluo and Hua Ruyu stopped and bowed their hands in salute.

“Elder.”

An Elder of the Gui Shui Sect?

Mo Hua’s heart skipped a beat.

This Core Formation cultivator had a serious expression, wore a water-blue Daoist robe, and had water energy hidden around his body, along with faint traces of sharp sword qi.

At this moment, he stood with his hands behind his back, his face solemn, displaying the demeanor of a true expert.

Judging by his appearance, he had indeed learned the sword arts of the Gui Shui Sect and inherited the Gui Shui Sword…

“Trouble…”

Mo Hua frowned.

The Core Formation Elder’s gaze swept over the people in the room. He looked at the injured but still composed Ouyang Feng, at Hua Qian, whose heart was afraid but whose gaze was still stubborn, and finally his gaze fell on Mo Hua. He was suddenly stunned.

Then, he lost his composure.

With a shocked expression, no longer calm, he trembled as he pointed at Mo Hua and said angrily and exasperatedly:

“It’s you?!”

Everyone in the room was somewhat stunned.

Mo Hua was too.

“How is it me again?”

He wrinkled his brow, carefully examining this Core Formation cultivator, and then was surprised to discover that he actually recognized this Core Formation cultivator!

Xie Liu of the Gui Shui Sect!

That Core Formation sword cultivator.

Originally, he had caught a thief and followed Jiang Shanglong to a small teahouse, where he gathered evidence on Jin Yicai. Then he was discovered by this Core Formation realm Xie Liu.

Xie Liu wanted to kill him, but was subdued by Uncle Gu.

Because his sword skills seemed very weak, not at all a match for Uncle Gu, he was defeated by Uncle Gu in a few moves.

So Mo Hua didn’t have a deep impression of him and didn’t recognize him at first glance.

Mo Hua silently breathed a sigh of relief.

“I was thinking, which Core Formation Elder of the Gui Shui Sect is this? Turns out it’s just a defeated general under Uncle Gu. He’s pretending to be an expert and made me nervous for a while…”

Mo Hua felt a bit more relaxed in his heart.

But Xie Liu, who was in the Core Formation realm, couldn’t calm down. He pointed at Mo Hua, his face filled with killing intent, and gritted his teeth, saying:

“Stinking brat, I remember you. You are a disciple of the Tai Xu Sect, a little lackey of the Dao Court Division, a little follower of that bastard Gu Changhuai. If you hadn’t used yourself as bait at that time, setting a trap, I would have fallen into Gu Changhuai’s trap. How could I have fallen to such a state?”

“Now, I have been expelled from the Gui Shui Sect and am doing this kind of dirty work that cannot see the light of day on behalf of the sect. I will never be able to show my face again, all thanks to you and that person surnamed Gu!”

As soon as these words came out, the expressions of the other people in the room all changed somewhat.

A lackey of the Dao Court Division, a follower of Gu Changhuai?

This little brat actually has these identities?

If he is on this boat, doesn’t that mean…

Hua Ruyu and Shui Yanluo exchanged a glance, their faces slightly pale.

Ouyang Feng and Hua Qian were also somewhat astonished.

In this short period of time, Mo Hua’s identity had already changed several times, sometimes a remnant of the Shui Lao Sect, sometimes a lackey of the Dao Court Division.

Where did he get so many identities…

Mo Hua, however, had a bit of a headache.

It’s over, his “vest” is almost completely exposed.

He hadn’t expected that there would be so many acquaintances on this Rouge Boat, and that they would all gather together.

Before he could think further, Xie Liu had already drawn his sword and pointed it at Mo Hua, saying:

“Take this little brat down!”

Shui Yanluo and Hua Ruyu also realized the seriousness of the problem at this time.

Mo Hua’s identity was not simple at all.

A Tai Xu Sect disciple, a follower of the Gu family, a lackey of the Dao Court Division. For such a person to infiltrate the Rouge Boat meant that this ship was already in great danger!

Shui Yanluo’s eyes turned red, and he raised his Water Punishment Whip, striking towards Mo Hua.

Hua Ruyu’s beautiful face was filled with killing intent, and she urged the Hundred Flowers Spirit Array, aiming directly at Mo Hua’s heart.

Xie Liu also used his Gui Shui Sword Qi, stabbing towards Mo Hua’s Tianmen.

With this attack, Mo Hua immediately felt overwhelmed.

Two peak Foundation Establishment and one Core Formation working together, even if this Core Formation could only display the strength of a peak Foundation Establishment, it was completely beyond what he could bear at his age and cultivation level.

No matter how weak Xie Liu was, he was still in the Third Grade. He only seemed weak when facing Uncle Gu, who could fully display the strength of a Core Formation cultivator.

To himself, he was still a powerful Core Formation cultivator.

And himself, a Spirit Cultivator who practiced a strange path, was good at concealment and movement techniques, and could temporarily hold his own.

But Senior Brother Feng and Senior Sister Qian were proper cultivators.

They didn’t know concealment techniques, couldn’t hide their bodies. Although their movement techniques were not bad, they had no advantage in front of Xie Liu and the others. They would likely be taken down in less than ten rounds.

Not good!

Mo Hua was being chased and killed by the combined forces of Xie Liu and the two others, looking somewhat disheveled. He finally managed to catch his breath, then immediately shouted:

“Stop!”

The actions of Xie Liu and the two others paused slightly.

Mo Hua said with a serious expression: “I advise you all, it’s best to stop while you’re ahead. Just go through the motions, don’t force me to be ruthless, otherwise you will all regret it!”

Xie Liu and the two others were stunned for a moment, then all laughed at Mo Hua’s words.

“Just you? Make us regret it?” Hua Ruyu sneered.

Shui Yanluo chuckled sinisterly, “Overestimating your own abilities.”

Even that Xie Liu showed a playful expression like a cat playing with a mouse, and sneered: “Alright, let me see how exactly you will make us regret it?”

Mo Hua looked at the seriously injured Ouyang Feng, and then at the pale-faced Hua Qian, knowing that they were almost at a dead end.

If they continued fighting, in no time, Senior Brother Feng and Senior Sister Qian would definitely fall into the hands of Xie Liu and his group.

And he, being concerned about them, couldn’t display many of his techniques.

Although the timing was not very good, and he didn’t know where Uncle Gu and the people from the Dao Court Division were, things had reached this point, and he could only flip the table first and then find a way out.

Mo Hua coldly snorted and said with an arrogant expression:

“I only need one order to turn this Rouge Boat into ashes! You’d better all be sensible.”

Xie Liu sneered: “Alright, today I want to see, how can you, a little Foundation Establishment brat, turn this Rouge Boat into ashes?”

Hua Ruyu also had a smile on her face.

Only Shui Yanluo suddenly felt a hint of unease in his heart.

He was different from the other two.

Whether it was Xie Liu or Hua Ruyu, although they recognized Mo Hua, they hadn’t fought with Mo Hua much.

In Xie Liu’s eyes, Mo Hua was just a “little lackey” of the Dao Court Division.

In Hua Ruyu’s eyes, Mo Hua was also just a “little junior sister” from the Hundred Flowers Valley.

But Shui Yanluo was different. He had suffered who knows how many hidden losses at Mo Hua’s hands.

He deeply knew that this little brat Mo Hua seemed ordinary, but his skills were very strange.

No one knew what trump cards he had.

Shui Yanluo said in a deep voice, “Don’t be careless, this little brat is not simple. Keep a close eye on him, absolutely don’t give him any opportunity.”

Xie Liu and Hua Ruyu were both somewhat surprised to see Shui Yanluo so vigilant towards a little cultivator like Mo Hua, and immediately became serious.

Mo Hua raised an eyebrow.

This Shui Yanluo was indeed sharp-minded and cautious enough, but it was already too late.

Mo Hua smiled faintly.

Seeing Mo Hua’s expression, Shui Yanluo’s heart immediately turned cold and he said:

“Not good.”

He flicked his long whip, drawing out a bloody watery light. The iron chain whip was like a poisonous snake, attacking directly towards Mo Hua.

Mo Hua used the Passing Water Step, barely dodging, but he hadn’t stabilized himself when Xie Liu’s Gui Shui Sword Qi and Hua Ruyu’s Hundred Flowers Spirit Needles also struck, not giving Mo Hua a chance to breathe.

Shui Yanluo also took the opportunity to use the Water Shadow Step, trying to close in on Mo Hua.

But just at this moment, the ground flashed with light.

Several paths of light green light manifested into a wood prison, blocking the sword qi and spirit needles for a moment, and also delaying Shui Yanluo.

“Second Grade Wood Prison Array? When was it set up?”

The expressions of Shui Yanluo and the others changed slightly.

But this array, although it was a high-grade Second Grade array, couldn’t possibly block one Core Formation and two peak Foundation Establishment cultivators.

In just a moment, the Wood Prison Array was broken.

But this moment of delay gave Mo Hua the opportunity he needed. He was already at Ouyang Feng and Hua Qian’s side, took out a storage bag, and threw it to Ouyang Feng.

“Senior Brother Feng!”

Ouyang Feng received the storage bag and discovered that it was actually a refined iron shield inside. Without the slightest hesitation, he took out the shield, propped it on the ground, blocking it in front, and also protecting Mo Hua and Hua Qian.

Shui Yanluo and the others were somewhat unclear about the situation.

“A refined iron shield, just wanting to block the three of us? Too naive?” Xie Liu sneered.

But his words had not yet fallen when he heard Mo Hua’s low voice say:

“Explode!”

As the word came out, the array followed.

Outside the boat, dazzling lights suddenly illuminated the sky. Red and green interwoven, gorgeous and colorful. Paths of fireworks rushed into the sky.

Xie Liu and the others were startled for a moment, then they all understood.

Fireworks!

This little brat was setting off fireworks, sending a signal!

The people from the Dao Court Division must be nearby!

Xie Liu was slightly annoyed.

He knew that once the people from the Dao Court Division arrived, the matter of the Rouge Boat would absolutely not end well.

When the Dao Court had previously investigated, he had only guessed that this day might come.

But he hadn’t expected this day to come so quickly and so hastily, leaving him with no preparation in his heart.

In this urgent situation, Xie Liu could only say: “Grab these three as hostages, we’ll talk about the rest later…”

At this moment, he didn’t know how many people the Dao Court Division had sent, or where they were ambushed.

He could only make the worst plan.

If things truly couldn’t be helped, then these three in hand would be chips.

With chips, there might be a glimmer of hope for a turnaround.

Hua Ruyu and Shui Yanluo also thought this way.

However, Shui Yanluo, who knew Mo Hua’s character better, thought one step further.

“Why use the shield?”

“To defend against fireworks?”

“Impossible…”

“Then defend against… what?”

The cabin beneath his feet began to tremble. Shui Yanluo remembered Mo Hua’s words about making them all “turn to ashes”. His pupils constricted, and instinctively he retreated a step back.

And Xie Liu and Hua Ruyu, however, took a step forward.

Just at this moment, a huge boom suddenly erupted.

A stronger, more turbulent array aura transmitted out than before.

This time it was no longer fireworks, but true, containing powerful destructive power, full of killing qi, a high-grade Second Grade Leaving Fire Array!

Flames instantly rose.

Fierce flames like a flood dragon swallowed the entire ship.

And the spirit boat itself had many arrays engraved on it during construction.

The explosion of the Leaving Fire Array was quite powerful, and it also successively destroyed the arrays within the spirit boat, causing the spirit power to be disordered, scattered uncontrollably, interwoven and conflicting, further enhancing the power of the explosion.

The periphery of the Rouge Boat was blown to pieces.

Truly bright red flames rushed into the sky, spreading outwards, like a fire dragon in the night sky.

And the Rouge Boat itself was connected by iron chains.

The range of the array Mo Hua had set up was not that large.

But once the array exploded, and the spirit boat burned, the Leaving Fire instantly spread, igniting all the spirit boats.

The Rouge Boat, from front to back, was all burning.

Even through the dense fog, one could see the shocking firelight like a sea of fire.

In the distance, on the Dao Court Division’s boat.

Gu Changhuai and Xia Dian Si, who had been tracking the Rouge Boat but couldn’t find its trace, stared blankly at the scene before them.

Even from such a distance, they could feel the strong fluctuations of spirit power.

Fireworks rose, then a firelight soared into the sky.

Surging spirit power swept through, and booms echoed one after another.

The shock of the Rouge Boat’s chain explosion even transmitted through the surface of the Misty Water River to their spirit boat nearby.

Ripples spread across the water, causing the cabin of their boat to tremble slightly.

Xia Dian Si was somewhat dazed, opened his mouth, not knowing what to say, and finally could only say in disbelief:

“This… is the commotion Mo Hua made?”

“Probably…” Gu Changhuai was also somewhat stunned, “He said he would give us a ‘hint’…”

Xia Dian Si took a slight breath of cold air.

“How did he, a mid-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator, cause such a commotion? This is… too much trouble…”

Gu Changhuai was silent for a moment, then sighed helplessly: “He is not restrained at all, that’s just how he is…”

Xia Dian Si: “…”

With the hint of firelight, the position of the Rouge Boat was also exposed.

Time was pressing, and the two no longer delayed.

Xia Dian Si gave the order for all the Dao Court Division’s spirit boats to surround the Rouge Boat from all sides, and to capture everyone and everything, seizing all the cultivators on the spirit boat.

If anyone resisted, no matter their origin, they would be killed without mercy!

On the Misty Water River, the Dao Court Division’s spirit boats broke through the waves in the dense fog, heading towards the burning Rouge Boat…

And at this time, the cultivators on the Rouge Boat were already in chaos.

Mo Hua detonated the array he had set up, and the spirit boat exploded.

Those who were unlucky, close to the center of the explosion, were suddenly sent flying by the spirit power fluctuations while in the middle of their deeds.

Those further away also suffered the aftermath of the explosion and fled in panic.

Many men and women, either naked or wrapped in bed sheets, ran around on the boat.

In just an instant, the Rouge Boat turned into a sea of fire, and the “gentle retreat” turned into a “nightmare”.

And the main culprit, Mo Hua, had already snatched a small boat, and along with Ouyang Feng and Hua Qian, rowed towards the shore.

Everything was calculated well.

Their location was the “life gate” of the array explosion, which Mo Hua had planned in advance.

When setting up a killing array for oneself, one must leave a “life gate”, a thread of life. This is a must-have self-cultivation for array masters.

And when the array exploded, he had Senior Brother Feng prop up a large shield.

This large shield was designed by Mo Hua for the disciples of the Tai Xu Sect, especially big guys like Cheng Mo, to use when hunting fire-type demon beasts.

The shield was equipped with many fire-repelling arrays, defending against both spirit power impact and fire-type burning.

When hunting demons, the body cultivator carried the shield and raised it in front, which was enough to directly resist many attacks from fire-type demon beasts.

Mo Hua had specially left one spare, and it came in handy at this time.

Occupying the life gate and having the fire shield for defense.

Therefore, although the Rouge Boat exploded and caused a great commotion, Mo Hua and the others were not injured at all.

And at this time, the Rouge Boat was in chaos, and Mo Hua took advantage of the chaos to escape.

The array exploded, the spirit boat was destroyed, it looked grand, but this kind of lethality definitely couldn’t kill the Core Formation cultivator of the Gui Shui Sect named Xie Liu.

If he didn’t run now, there would be no opportunity.

Ouyang Feng also knew the urgency of the situation and sped up the spirit boat, moving away from the Rouge Boat.

Along the way, there were also cultivators who had fallen into the water and wanted to rob their boat, but they were all driven back by Mo Hua and Hua Qian using fire techniques and spirit needles.

After escaping for a distance, just when they were about to go far, a killing intent suddenly surged, and a path of water-blue sword light chopped over.

Mo Hua hurriedly used his movement technique and dodged.

But the spirit boat was not a cultivator and would not use movement techniques, nor could it adjust its direction. It simply couldn’t dodge in time and was sliced by the water-blue sword light, leaving a crack.

River water flooded into the boat.

It couldn’t support them for long, the small boat would sink soon, and at this time, there wasn’t enough time to reach the shore.

Mo Hua was helpless and could only, along with Ouyang Feng, abandon the small boat and step onto another nearby Rouge Boat.

This Rouge Boat was relatively far from the central flower boat. Although it suffered some impact, the damage was not heavy, but because it was locked together, it was still affected and caught fire everywhere.

As soon as Mo Hua and the two others stood firm on the deck, they saw a person standing opposite them.

It was Xie Liu.

Not only that, but the sound of water suddenly rose, and a white figure rushed out of the river, it was Shui Yanluo, who was extremely proficient in water-type techniques.

The two blocked Mo Hua and the other two.

At this moment, their faces were extremely ugly.

Xie Liu was bleeding from his body, his water-blue Daoist robe was in tatters from the blast, and his body was black and red in places.

The high-grade Second Grade killing array exploded, followed by the spirit boat explosion, and he happened to be hit head-on by the blast.

If he hadn’t had the foundation of a Core Formation cultivator, he would probably be half dead at this moment.

Shui Yanluo also suffered some injuries, but he was much better.

His mind was sharp and he was wary of Mo Hua. Therefore, when Mo Hua activated the array, he instinctively retreated several steps backward.

This distance of several steps was the difference between heaven and earth.

Otherwise, it would have been absolutely impossible for him to stand here intact.

As for Hua Ruyu, Mo Hua didn’t see her.

But she was a peak Foundation Establishment cultivator, rushing towards Mo Hua’s face together with Xie Liu, a Core Formation cultivator. She was probably half-dead even if she wasn’t killed by the blast.

Three enemies became two, but the situation was still very grim.

Senior Brother Feng was injured, and Junior Sister Qian’s cultivation and strength were far behind Shui Yanluo’s.

The buried array ahead had already been used.

Xie Liu and the other two would not give themselves another chance to temporarily set up an array.

He himself could conceal himself, had the Passing Water Step, and some water-avoiding and demon-driving techniques, so he could probably escape.

But Senior Brother Feng and Junior Sister Qian would definitely not be able to escape.

And in the distance, boat shadows were heavy, and the people from the Dao Court Division were rushing over.

But distant water can’t save nearby fire…

No one could help him for the time being.

Mo Hua thought quickly, recognizing the situation, and immediately waved his hand and said:

“Surrender.”

His action stunned both Xie Liu and Shui Yanluo.

“What do you mean?” Xie Liu frowned.

Mo Hua said: “Don’t you want hostages? We will be your hostages. Otherwise, wait until the people from the Dao Court Division arrive. With a Core Formation realm Commander in charge, they will definitely slaughter you all without any scruples.”

Xie Liu’s face twitched, “You’re quite considerate of us…”

Mo Hua sighed: “No way, who told me to be kind-hearted?”

Xie Liu froze, looked at the broken Rouge Boat around him, the spreading sea of fire, and the cultivators struggling in the sea of fire, then looked at the main culprit Mo Hua in front of him, his face twitched, and he couldn’t say a word.

Shui Yanluo still didn’t believe it. His gaze narrowed, “What do you want to do?”

“Nothing. A wise person submits to circumstances. I’ve used all my means, and I can’t defeat you all, so naturally I surrender. Otherwise, do you want me to fight to the end with you all and then be slaughtered by you all?”

Mo Hua said it as a matter of course.

Shui Yanluo’s brow furrowed even tighter.

“Of course, I have conditions.” Mo Hua continued, “Although we are hostages, you cannot touch a single hair on us.”

Shui Yanluo couldn’t help but sneer: “Based on what?”

Mo Hua said firmly: “Based on the Water Prison Forbidden Box I have in my hand!”

Shui Yanluo’s eyes turned red, but Xie Liu was stunned, “What forbidden box?”

Mo Hua’s expression was somewhat strange.

This Foundation Establishment peak Shui Yanluo knew about the forbidden box, but Xie Liu, a Core Formation cultivator, didn’t know anything?

He didn’t know as much about the inside story of the Gui Shui Sect as this outsider…

No wonder he was clearly in the Core Formation realm, but was still arranged to do this kind of dirty work.

When something actually happened, he was probably just a “scapegoat”…

Mo Hua muttered in his heart.

What the Water Prison Forbidden Box meant, Xie Liu didn’t know, but Shui Yanluo couldn’t possibly not understand. Although his expression was grim, his gaze obviously wavered.

The Water Prison Forbidden Box was very important.

Its importance was even above killing Mo Hua.

However, making a deal with Mo Hua was no different from “plotting with a fox for its skin”. Shui Yanluo had no confidence in his heart.

Mo Hua turned his head and glanced, then said: “You’d better think carefully, the people from the Dao Court Division are coming soon, there is not much time.”

“Agree to my conditions, you will have hostages, then you will have a chip to escape, and then it will be possible to obtain the Water Prison Forbidden Box.”

“Otherwise, the worst case is both sides lose.”

“We die here, and you will be killed by the Commander who rushes over. Even if you are lucky and are not killed, you will never obtain the Water Prison Forbidden Box.”

Mo Hua’s expression was composed, reasoned and persuasive.

Xie Liu and Shui Yanluo exchanged a glance, their expressions grim, silent. Finally, it was Shui Yanluo who gritted his teeth and said:

“Alright, I won’t kill you, but you must have the awareness of being ‘hostages’, otherwise don’t blame me for being impolite.”

“Okay!” Mo Hua nodded.

Shui Yanluo felt even more strange in his heart. Why was this little brat suddenly so easy to talk to?

But the Dao Court Division’s spirit boats were getting closer and closer, not allowing him time to think carefully.

“Go!” Shui Yanluo said in a deep voice.

“Go where?” Xie Liu frowned.

Shui Yanluo glanced at Xie Liu, then lowered his voice: “Things have come to this, we can only temporarily avoid it there…”

Xie Liu’s gaze trembled, his face slightly pale. He seemed very wary of that place.

But things had already reached this point, there was no other choice, and he could only silently nod.

“That place…”

Behind the two, Mo Hua, who had overheard their conversation, couldn’t help but brighten his eyes slightly, and quietly nodded as well.

“Junior Brother Mo…” Hua Qian’s voice trembled slightly.

“It’s okay,” Mo Hua comforted, “Senior Sister, rest assured.”

Hua Qian nodded, but still looked at Mo Hua, her gaze worried, containing self-blame.

On the side, Ouyang Feng also showed a look of shame.

He knew that Mo Hua was proficient in concealment, and he himself could escape if he wanted to. The reason he stayed to deal with these two evil people was all for him and Qian.

It was they who were dragging Junior Brother Mo down.

Ouyang Feng sighed in his heart.

Afterwards, Xie Liu used a token to open a storage box on the Rouge Boat and took out a brand new, small spirit boat from inside.

Xie Liu was the first to board the boat.

Shui Yanluo looked at Mo Hua with a grim expression.

Mo Hua said calmly: “Let’s go.”

Then he took the lead and jumped onto the spirit boat. Ouyang Feng and Hua Qian also followed him onto the spirit boat.

Shui Yanluo drove the spirit boat and gradually moved away. If any cultivators approached in between, they were all driven back by Xie Liu with a sword.

Just like this, a group of people rode the small spirit boat, leaving the burning Rouge Boat and sailing towards the deeper fog in the distance.

And after they left, the people from the Dao Court Division also rushed over, drawing their swords and holding spirit locks, beginning to capture the cultivators on the Rouge Boat…
