Chapter 848: Chaotic Situation | Trận Vấn Trường Sinh
Trận Vấn Trường Sinh - Updated on May 17, 2025
In the vast indoor space, soaking blood-red, severed limbs were everywhere, as if some demon inside had been eating.
Even someone like Shui Yanluo, who killed people like cutting hemp, an evil cultivator, felt somewhat nauseous looking at it.
Although he killed people, he didn’t eat them.
But the people in this room had clearly been “gnawed and chewed” by something.
“Could everyone in the Miao have been eaten by that monster?”
“Was even the Miao Master eaten?”
Xie Liu and Shui Yanluo’s hearts sank.
“Search and see if there are any clues,” Xie Liu said.
Shui Yanluo nodded.
Then the two began to search in the messy room filled with severed limbs.
Upon seeing the ground full of blood and flesh, Ouyang Feng and Hua Qianqian’s faces instantly turned pale.
They were disciples of sects, how could they have ever seen such a bloody and terrifying scene.
Hua Qianqian even covered her mouth and nose with her hand, closed her eyes, and didn’t dare to look again.
Mo Hua, on the other hand, was still fine.
Although he was also somewhat uncomfortable, in his cultivation career of less than twenty years, he had a wealth of experience dealing with evil demons and heretics.
He had seen similar scenes before.
And he was a demon hunter, who had seen scenes of demon beasts eating people since he was a child, so he quickly adapted.
Mo Hua thought for a bit and also started searching in the room.
But the ground was full of blood and flesh, a bit dirty, and he didn’t want to get his hands dirty, so he took out a stick from his storage bag and walked around, poking here and prodding there to see if there were any clues.
After searching for a while, he really found some things.
“A large number of array formations were once drawn inside the room. These array formations were drawn with human blood, they are evil arrays…”
“These array formations have all been activated.”
“After the array formations were activated, it seems something happened, but in order not to let others know, even the array patterns were erased…”
“This array formation… is somewhat not simple.”
Mo Hua frowned; with his foundation in arrays and experience with evil arrays, he still couldn’t see much.
Of course, it was also possible that there weren’t many remaining array patterns to begin with, and they were blurred by blood, so he couldn’t see them.
Furthermore, Mo Hua found a small piece of scale among the blood and flesh.
This piece of scale was azure-ink colored, stained with blood traces, and was very similar to the monster’s body scales, but it was smaller and more crystalline.
There was no demonic blood qi on the scale, but there remained a trace of…
Mo Hua thought for a bit, it was hard to describe.
But by feeling, it was a kind of beastly aura he had never perceived before, with a sense of antiquity and a trace of sacredness.
Mo Hua sniffed the area around the scale again.
Besides the strong stench of blood, there was another trace of fresh blood smell.
The strong stench of blood was human blood.
But this kind of blood only had a lingering smell and no blood left, not even a trace of blood, being soaked by other stinky human blood, making it increasingly difficult to detect.
“What was eating here?”
“And that Miao Master, could it be…”
Mo Hua’s gaze flickered slightly, as if in deep thought.
On the other side, Shui Yanluo and Xie Liu also finished searching and then gathered together and said:
“These corpses are those of the Miao guards…”
“There is no corpse of the Miao Master.”
“He might still be alive.”
“Other things have all been destroyed, books, jade slips, command tokens, all destroyed, it seems someone did it deliberately…”
As the two spoke, they both frowned.
Their doubts were growing, but what they knew was still very limited.
This Dragon King Miao was originally more secret than the core area of Rouge Boat, covered by a thick fog, ordinary cultivators couldn’t even find it.
This was where the God Lord feasted, protected by the God Lord.
Xie Liu was also somewhat uneasy, although he was at the Gold Core stage, he vaguely felt that some matters were already beyond his comprehension.
The group left the Miao Master’s great hall, walked out the door, the blood stench faded, but the oppressive feeling became even heavier.
As if something was staring at them in the dark.
Shui Yanluo’s gaze turned and immediately said: “Let’s leave this Miao first!”
They had come here to hide.
But now it seemed that hiding inside this Miao was no safer than encountering the hounds of the Dao Court Division, and this Miao itself was even more dangerous.
This kind of danger was still unknown.
Mo Hua was somewhat unwilling.
He had just managed to enter this Miao with great difficulty, and now he had gained nothing, how could he just leave like this?
Mo Hua’s heart moved, wanting to use some small means to make Xie Liu and Shui Yanluo leave, but he turned his head and saw Ouyang Feng and the pale-faced Hua Qianqian, and his heart softened a little.
“I don’t care about myself, but it’s somewhat dangerous for Senior Brother and Senior Sister to leave here. Let’s go out first…”
Shui Yanluo moved towards the outside of the Miao.
Mo Hua also silently followed.
Ouyang Feng and Hua Qianqian followed Mo Hua closely, Xie Liu still walked at the back, also staring closely at Mo Hua.
The Sect Master’s inheritance was tied to Mo Hua.
He couldn’t let Mo Hua die, but he also couldn’t let Mo Hua run.
Even if he died, he had to wait until he got the things in hand…
The group thus walked towards the Miao door, vigilant all the way.
The Miao was still in dead silence, the high walls and great halls, the ancient carved beams and painted rafters, seemed very oppressive.
After walking for the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, they arrived at the Miao door.
Xie Liu glanced at Shui Yanluo, Shui Yanluo didn’t say anything, but silently walked to the door and took out the fish bone command token again, inserting it into the mouth of a demon beast copper statue nearby that had an upward-facing mouth, which guarded the door.
The command token flashed, and the demon statue trembled.
Then it seemed an array formation started, and thick iron chains on the door coiled up, pulling the heavy large door, slowly opening.
Seeing the large door could open, the group all relaxed a breath.
The Miao door opened wider and wider, Xie Liu rushed forward first and then walked towards the outside of the door, but just as he reached the doorway, his expression suddenly changed greatly.
From the gap in the door, a flash of ice-blue sword light swept over.
A path of ice-sealed sword qi rushed straight at his face.
Xie Liu tried his best to turn his head, but he was still cut by this sword qi, breaking an ear, and the blood had not yet flowed before it was frozen stiff by the ice spirit power.
Then, another path of green wind blade chopped over.
This wind blade went straight for his heart.
Xie Liu took out his long sword and held it horizontally in front of his chest, blocking this wind blade, and at the same time borrowed the power of the wind blade to retreat back into the Miao door.
And as Xie Liu retreated, the people outside the door rushed in.
The person in front was a cultivator holding a feather fan, with a straight body and handsome face.
Mo Hua’s eyes lit up.
“Uncle Gu!”
Gu Changhuai heard Mo Hua’s voice and silently relaxed a breath.
It was good, he wasn’t dead…
Although he knew that with Mo Hua’s cunning, maneuvering between Xie Liu and Shui Yanluo should be no problem, Gu Changhuai was still somewhat worried before.
At this time, seeing that Mo Hua was not only fine but also full of vitality, Gu Changhuai felt relieved and then urged his spirit power to kill Xie Liu.
Behind Gu Changhuai was Xia Dian Si, who held an ice-colored short sword.
And behind them were two more people, wearing the standard Dao Court Division robes, one Dian Si and one Zhi Si.
Mo Hua was stunned.
“It’s actually ‘Xiaotian Dog’… and ‘Smiling Faced Tiger’?”
“How did they all come?”
On the other side, as soon as Gu Changhuai met, he pressed Xie Liu to the point of being unable to resist, and with Xia Dian Si assisting from the side, Xie Liu was completely at a disadvantage for a while.
He didn’t have as many strange methods as Shui Yanluo, so in a frontal fight, the disadvantages in cultivation and dao methods were particularly obvious.
And Xiao Tianquan found Shui Yanluo, and the two of them paired off to kill each other.
It seemed he indeed wanted to kill Shui Yanluo himself.
Shui Yanluo just looked at him and gave a cold laugh, not saying much.
Mo Hua then stood by and watched the show.
In this situation, it wasn’t his turn to act.
Similarly, “Smiling Faced Tiger” Xiao Dian Si also stood by and didn’t act immediately, but silently observed the situation.
The situation gradually became clear.
After watching for a while, Xiao Dian Si began to act.
He took out a long sword, the sword covered with deep blue water light, and began to brew sword qi.
“Deep blue water light…”
Mo Hua’s eye corner caught a glimpse of this sword light and suddenly felt something was wrong, and after a moment, he felt even more wrong.
There was a vague but powerful hostility around, pointing towards him.
“What’s going on?”
Mo Hua was startled, lifted his eyes to look, and then discovered that at some point, “Smiling Faced Tiger” Xiao Dian Si was looking at him with an icy cold gaze.
And his deep blue long sword, which had turned into sword qi, was also pointing at him.
Mo Hua was suddenly shocked.
This Smiling Faced Tiger, he wants to kill me?!
Is he crazy?!
Mo Hua quickly urged the Shi Shui Bu to its extreme, his body like water, retreating backward.
And the suddenly acting Xiao Dian Si, seeing Mo Hua so agile, was also somewhat surprised, but then his gaze sank, his body flashed, turning into nearly ten water shadows, killing towards Mo Hua with faster speed.
Mo Hua was helpless and could only use stealth techniques.
But Xiao Dian Si was a Gold Core, and experienced and perceptive.
Although Mo Hua was hidden, he didn’t go far, and there was still some residual aura on his body, so Xiao Dian Si could still vaguely perceive Mo Hua’s position.
He estimated the direction and killed the hidden Mo Hua with another sword.
Just at this moment, Ouyang Feng urged the Tai’e Sword Art to block this sword for Mo Hua.
Hua Qianqian saw this Dao Court Division Dian Si actually attack Mo Hua, and her face was also covered with frost, urging hundreds of flower spirit needles to kill Xiao Dian Si.
Xiao Dian Si swung open Ouyang Feng with one sword, shaking Ouyang Feng to spit out a mouthful of blood, and swept his backhand with the long sword, striking down Hua Qianqian’s spirit needles.
No way, since he couldn’t catch Mo Hua, he could only take the other two as substitutes.
Xiao Dian Si’s sword light was swift, stabbing Ouyang Feng’s right arm with one sword, temporarily disabling his meridians and preventing him from wielding his sword.
He then threw a poisonous hidden weapon with his backhand, stabbing Hua Qianqian’s shoulder.
Hua Qianqian was poisoned, her face pale and her lips slightly green.
Thus, both Ouyang Feng and Hua Qianqian lost their power of resistance.
This sudden change not only surprised Mo Hua but also all the people in the field.
And these various changes, which were said to be slow but fast, only happened within a few rounds.
After Xiao Dian Si captured Ouyang Feng and the two of them, the field instantly became quiet.
Gu Changhuai stopped and said with a cold expression, “Xiao Dian Si, what is the meaning of this?”
“What meaning?” Xiao Dian Si still had a forced smile, but the smile on his face was colder, “Why bother pretending not to know, Gu Dian Si, you should have suspected me early on.”
Gu Changhuai’s expression was cold, and he didn’t speak.
“You suspect me, but you have no evidence, so on the surface, you can only try to deal with me. Some matters, you know, how can I not know?” Xiao Dian Si said.
Gu Changhuai frowned.
He did suspect Xiao Dian Si.
At the same time, he also had no evidence.
Without evidence, everything was empty talk, and it was fundamentally a pipe dream to pull down a Dao Court Division Dian Si with unfounded charges.
What’s more, this Dian Si was from the Xiao family.
But he never expected that this Xiao Dian Si, who had hidden for so long, would suddenly cause trouble at this juncture.
In Gu Changhuai’s expectation, even if this surnamed Xiao really wanted to cause trouble, it would be when the Dao Court Division had solid evidence, was surrounded on all sides, and he had no way out.
And not now, when there was only suspicion and not a shred of evidence, he suddenly jumped out and defected.
Xiao Dian Si seemed to guess Gu Changhuai’s thoughts and smiled gently, “Prepare for rain, whatever you do, you have to do it early.”
“In Qian Xue Prefecture, the cultivation base of Gold Core is neither large nor small.”
“If I really wait for you all to investigate clearly, have solid evidence, and the Dao Court Division to arrest, how can I still escape?”
“I am also a Dian Si, and I am very familiar with these matters.”
“Since I want to act, I naturally have to choose the most appropriate time, and the most unexpected time for you all.”
“Otherwise, if I hesitate even slightly, I can only sit and wait for death…”
Gu Changhuai frowned, “So, the Gold Core who acted to save Shui Yanluo a few days ago was you?”
“You also had a hand in the Rouge Boat matter.”
“The inner ghost in the Gui Shui Gate of the Dao Court Division is also you, is it you who have always been in the Dao Court Division covering up the Rouge Boat matter?”
Gu Changhuai’s words were sharp.
Xiao Dian Si contained his smile and did not speak.
Although he had defected, he was not stupid enough to reveal everything he had done.
Xia Dian Si also looked at Xiao Dian Si with an icy cold gaze and asked: “Is this your intention, or the intention of the Xiao family?”
Xiao Dian Si narrowed his eyes and said: “Xia Dian Si, you should know this in your heart. There are all kinds of people in the great families of the world, and even the upper levels can’t manage them all. My origin is not bad, but not great either, without the shelter of an old ancestor, if I don’t find some ways and connections myself, I will have no way out in this life.”
“It’s just a pity that Rouge Boat was destroyed, and my matters will be exposed sooner or later. Since that’s the case, it’s better to plan early and take the initiative…”
Xia Dian Si said: “What do you want?”
“I don’t want anything,” Xiao Dian Si smiled: “Speaking of which, I was colleagues with the two of you after all, and I have some feelings, and I don’t want to be enemies with you all.”
“As long as your Xia family gives me a Kyushu Yun Du pass, and the Gu family gives me a Qian Xue pass order for Qian Xue Prefecture, I can leave Qian Xue Prefecture with these two things and then ride the Yun Du to leave Qian Prefecture, and from then on, we will be far apart and the two of us will never meet again.”
“I won’t obstruct the two of you, and in this life, you will never see me, Xiao someone, again. This is good for both of us.”
“What do the two of you think?”
Gu Changhuai and Xia Dian Si looked at each other and did not speak.
“Of course,” Xiao Dian Si said, “I know the two of you won’t agree so easily…”
He pulled out his long sword and placed it on Ouyang Feng’s neck, “These two people, one is a disciple of Tai’e Gate, and the other is a disciple of Hundred Flowers Gate. Their identities are all not ordinary, if you don’t promise, I will have to endure the pain and send these two people to the west.”
“At that time, you two should also find it difficult to explain to Tai’e Gate and Hundred Flowers Gate…”
Speaking of this, Xiao Dian Si had some regrets, “Originally, I wanted to capture that little brat. He is from Tai Xu Gate and has a deep connection with the Gu family. Unexpectedly, he also has a deep friendship with you, this cold-faced Gu Dian Si, which really surprised me.”
“If I captured him and threatened him with his life, I thought you, Gu Dian Si, wouldn’t refuse to back down. It’s just a pity, I didn’t expect this kid to be so slippery and hard to catch…”
Xiao Dian Si was somewhat regretful.
Xia Dian Si’s face was like frost, and Gu Changhuai’s face was also ugly.
And Mo Hua, who had been hidden all along, also quietly appeared beside them at this time.
Mo Hua’s face was cold, although he was praised by the Smiling Faced Tiger, he wasn’t very happy.
After Xiao Dian Si finished speaking, he looked at Gu Changhuai and Xia Dian Si again:
“What do the two of you think? Give me the Yun Du pass and the Qian Xue pass order, or I will kill these two heavenly pride disciples now.”
“Xia Dian Si is kind-hearted,” Xiao Dian Si praised, and then looked at Gu Changhuai.
Gu Changhuai also sighed and said: “I will also give you the pass order.”
Saving people was important, especially since Ouyang Feng and Hua Qianqian had special identities.
If people ran away, they could be caught again.
But if people died, there was no way to save them again.
“But I don’t have it now, I will give it to you after I go out,” Gu Changhuai said.
“No harm,” Xiao Dian Si said, “I can wait, but I advise the two of you not to have other thoughts. As you know, I am a Dian Si, and if you tamper with the pass order, you won’t be able to hide it from me.”
Gu Changhuai frowned.
Just at this time, Mo Hua suddenly said in a clear voice: “Are you sure you can still go out?”
Xiao Dian Si was slightly startled, “What do you mean?”
Mo Hua pointed towards the doorway with his hand, “Look.”
Xiao Dian Si originally thought Mo Hua was deceiving him and was naturally unwilling to casually turn his head, but after a moment, he saw Mo Hua’s expression, which didn’t seem fake, and where Mo Hua pointed, there was indeed a strange aura.
Xiao Dian Si tightened his grip on the sword in his hand and slowly turned his body, looking towards the place Mo Hua pointed with the corner of his eye.
At this glance, his pupils instantly shrank.
Where Mo Hua pointed, there was a bronze statue of a demon beast guarding the door.
At this time, on top of the bronze statue, stood a monster entangled by blood qi, its whole body dripping with blood, and he didn’t know what it was.
This monster looked clearly terrifying, but its aura was somewhat weak.
Just now, the crowd was fighting and had no time to look sideways, and they hadn’t discovered it at all, and they didn’t know exactly when it came.
At this time, this monster looked at the crowd, then lowered its head and bit, biting a piece of fish bone command token into its mouth and pulling it out.
As the fish bone command token was pulled out, the heavy door of the Dragon King Miao slowly closed.
Then this monster, with speed like lightning, suddenly swallowed the command token into its abdomen, and after that, it quickly turned into a blood-red light and jumped towards the beams of the houses on both sides.
Before the crowd could react, it had disappeared without a trace.
Soon, the cultivators in the field realized what had happened and all trembled in their hearts.
Xiao Dian Si immediately looked at Shui Yanluo and said in a deep voice: “Do you still have the command token?”
Shui Yanluo shook his head in some fear, “Only one…”
Xiao Dian Si’s forced smile then became colder. He chopped out a sword with his backhand, a path of deep blue sword light, chopping into the large door.
But the large door of the Dragon King Miao, he didn’t know what it was made of.
This path of Foundation Establishment peak sword light, when it chopped, did not even cause a ripple.
Looking at this, without the fish bone command token as a key, this large door could not be opened by force at all.
Mo Hua sighed and said: “I forgot to tell you, some strange things happened inside this Miao, and the current situation is not about whether the Dao Court Division can catch you or not, or whether you have a pass and can fly away by Yun Du…”
“The problem now is that we might not even be able to get out of the large door of this Dragon King Miao. If we don’t find a way to save ourselves, we can only be trapped inside for a lifetime.”
“Oh, maybe not even for a lifetime…”
Mo Hua said with pity again, “That monster just now eats people, maybe not long after, we will be eaten into its belly.”
Xiao Dian Si’s expression was ugly, and the forced smile on his face was also somewhat difficult to maintain.
He calculated a thousand calculations, but he never expected that such a strange change would suddenly occur inside this Dragon King Miao…
Otherwise, as long as he had the pass in hand and left Qian Prefecture, he could naturally be far away and have another world.
The field was stifled for a while.
Everyone was silent and in deep thought.
“As for other grudges, we can only settle them after we go out.”
“Otherwise, we can only wait for death in this Dragon King Miao.”
“Don’t blame me for not reminding you, that monster might not be the only one, and there might not be more terrifying monsters inside this Dragon King Miao.”
“If we don’t unite at this time, everyone will be finished.”
Mo Hua said with a solemn face.
“Anyway, my original plan was just to find a way out and escape with my life, not to kill each other to death.”
“Now that this Miao is full of crises, I can cease fire.”
Gu Changhuai and Xia Dian Si exchanged glances and both nodded, “Going out is important, other matters can be ignored for now.”
Since the three great Gold Cores all agreed, the others had even less reason to object.
They were all not fools, and they could distinguish between light and heavy, urgent and not urgent.
Any grudge, in the face of life and death, could be temporarily put down.
Thus, a strange “team” was temporarily formed.
