After several targeted actions by the Demon Sect, indeed as expected, the Dao Ting Si all ended up empty-handed, only displaying “incompetent rage”.

Manipulating the Dao Ting Si in his palm and watching Gu Changhuai’s “anger and frustration,” this sense of achievement further deepened Elder Yu’s conviction: within the Demon Sect, there was indeed an inner ghost leaking secrets to the Dao Ting Si. “Mister Yuan” was indeed helping them intercept magnetic patterns and protect their secrets. And the magnetic patterns Mister Yuan provided were all real.

The intelligence he deciphered himself would also not be fake. Elder Yu trusted “Mister Yuan” more and more. Because his desire to keep “Mister Yuan” in the Demon Sect forever grew stronger in his heart, his attitude became even kinder. Mo Hua also knew the heat was just right.

His “role-playing” was very successful, even more successful than the original “Mister Yuan”. The deceased “Mister Yuan” was probably not as trusted and liked as he was. He could now unfold the next step of his plan:

This time, he planned to use borrowed knives to kill. He would entrap two Golden Core demon heads in one go, achieve full success in one step, and then refine enough divine marrow to break through to the late stage of Foundation Building. Which two to kill was a matter that required careful consideration.

Mo Hua began to select suitable candidates within the Demon Sect, but as he picked and picked, he felt none were quite suitable. The Golden Core demon heads who were easy to kill had already been schemed against by him and died at the hands of the Dao Ting Si.

Now, the remaining Golden Cores were either deeply hidden, or they were old in seniority, or they had experienced heavy bloody storms of “tests,” their Elder positions firm and unbreakable. These people were demon cultivators who killed people like they were harvesting hemp, and their temperaments were wild. Who knew what kind of history was between them? Who knew what they were thinking in their hearts?

The water here was a bit deep. Mo Hua didn’t think that by merely eavesdropping and gathering a small amount of news over this period, he could sort out the complex interpersonal relationships within the Demon Sect clearly. Rashly framing someone would easily lead to falling into a trap.

Therefore, after a period of deep thought and careful consideration, Mo Hua decided to let “Elder Yu” choose for himself. Since any choice he made was likely to have pitfalls, it was better to directly throw the problem to “Elder Yu”. Let Elder Yu himself select the inner ghost he “admired”.

“I will only guide him, but not make decisions for him. Anyway, it doesn’t matter which demon head dies; the divine remains will all be eaten the same. I’m not picky.” Mo Hua pondered for a moment and began to transmit a message to Elder Yu:

“These days, I have screened hundreds of times and finally found some clues…”

“The thunder magnetics at the bottom layer of the Yuan Magnetic Re-Array come from a set of rare thunder magnetic array disks.”

“This thunder magnetic array disk is hidden very deeply and is not easy to detect, but if you want to drive it, you need a certain foundation in arrays.” “The time when the thunder magnetic array disk fluctuates is also roughly concentrated around Zi Shi in the evening.”

Mo Hua provided some “clues”. Elder Yu indeed valued them highly. He followed this clue, thought for a long while, and then said:

“Mister Yuan means to imply that the sect’s ‘inner ghost’ is an array master, or at least possesses certain knowledge of arrays.”

“Every day around Zi Shi, he will secretly steal my sect’s secrets, and then transmit these secrets to the Dao Ting Si through the form of thunder magnetics?” Mo Hua vaguely said: “There is this possibility…”

“But…” Elder Yu frowned and said, “Among the existing elders within my Demon Sect, no one is proficient in arrays…” Mo Hua paused, a bit speechless.

Array masters were generally very important and relatively easy to kill. So he had just given this “hint,” leading Elder Yu in the direction of an array master. As a result, among so many elders inside the Demon Sect, not a single one was an array master?

Were they really that unprogressive? Would learning a little bit of arrays kill them? Mo Hua criticized inwardly, then sighed and transmitted a message: “Perhaps my speculation is wrong.” Elder Yu was silent for a moment, yet said: “Not necessarily…”

Mo Hua was startled. Elder Yu speculated himself:

“Is there any possibility that someone is proficient in arrays but hides and conceals it, not letting others know, to avoid arousing suspicion?” Mo Hua: “Not without possibility…”

“But who could this person be?” Elder Yu asked.

Mo Hua: “This is a matter within your Demon Sect; I’m not too clear… he concealed himself very well.”

Elder Yu pondered for a moment and then confirmed again:

“A thunder magnetic array disk requires a cultivator proficient in arrays to use? Can ordinary cultivators, after practice, not manipulate the array disk?”

Mo Hua said deliberately: “The thunder magnetic array disk is quite special, complex and precise. Without some foundation in arrays, it’s impossible to understand. Furthermore, the thunder magnetic array disk is easily damaged. If this person is lurking within the Demon Sect without any foundation in arrays, once the array disk is broken, there is no way to repair it.”

Mo Hua spoke with great seriousness. Elder Yu deeply agreed, “What Mister Yuan said is very true…” The direction of array masters was indeed worth investigating.

Then he had some doubts again, “And one more point… at Zi Shi, the elders of the Demon Sect will often gather, absorb blood, and exchange insights. They should not have the leisure to go use thunder magnetics to leak secrets…”

Mo Hua frowned. He had just made up a time. Who would have thought it would be so coincidental that the Demon Sect elders just happened to choose this time to gather? Were demon cultivators all night owls?

At this point, he couldn’t change his words, so he could only firmly say: “I only look at the arrays. The thunder magnetic patterns are just displayed that way. Other situations, I don’t understand…” Elder Yu had doubts in his heart, but after a slight thought, he felt it was also right.

Mister Yuan was an array master, so naturally, he spoke according to the rules of arrays. If it was there, it was there; if it wasn’t, it wasn’t. Other matters were not within his scope of consideration.

Elder Yu thought: “Precisely because at Zi Shi, all the elders are gathering, so leaking secrets at Zi Shi will not arouse suspicion, meaning it is even more covert… he talked himself into a circle.”

Mo Hua: “That makes sense…”

Elder Yu’s gaze narrowed, and he nodded, “I will investigate this matter. Many thanks, Mister Yuan.” Mo Hua said: “I am ordered by a person and loyal to that person’s matters. Elder Yu is too polite.”

After that, there were no further words between the two. In an unknown bloody stone room.

Elder Yu put away the elder token used for transmitting messages, drank a cup of blood wine, and began to think about the clues Mo Hua had given him. After thinking for a moment, a thought suddenly popped into his head.

“Could this Mister Yuan be deceiving me?”

Elder Yu thought for a moment and then couldn’t help but ask himself: “What exactly is Mister Yuan deceiving me about?” That the Demon Sect had an inner ghost was inevitable.

That the inner ghost would know arrays was also reasonable. And from beginning to end, this Mister Yuan seemed not too interested in the internal matters of the Demon Sect. He was employed by himself and only worked for the Demon Sect.

All the words he said were based on the thunder magnetic array, never concealing anything, but also never saying anything extra. Moreover, the news he provided had indeed helped the sect resolve dangers multiple times and break through the Dao Ting Si’s encirclement. Elder Yu reflected once, nodded slightly, and dismissed his worries.

“Since the news is reliable, then I can investigate according to this clue…” “Arrays…”

“Among the elders of the Demon Sect, who exactly secretly learned arrays? Who has array abilities yet secretly hides them and does unforgivable things…” Elder Yu’s gaze was cold as he calculated one by one.

“First, the elder brother is not the inner ghost.”

“The second brother is the most senior. He also has no need to betray the sect. Ultimately, this sect was originally just a temporary gathering for plotting a grand plan, raising blood slaves. It is only a temporary gathering of such a Demon Sect prototype, to be discarded after use. How would the second brother betray…”

“The third one is me; I definitely have no problem.”

“The fourth one is the executioner, bloodthirsty, and a blood killer, used for chasing and killing traitors. Normally, he is locked with chains and not allowed to go out. Besides the word ‘kill,’ there is nothing else in that little brain of his. Making him remember array patterns would truly be forcing him.”

“The fifth and sixth ones just came out of that valley and are still temporarily avoiding the wind, so suspicion is not without.” “The seventh one was lustful and is already dead.”

“The eighth one is meticulous in thought and loyal and devoted. The Demon Sect’s plans are generally handled by him. Over these years, he has worked hard even if he hasn’t achieved merit…” “The ninth one is greedy and not too scheming…”

“The tenth one is dead.” “The eleventh one is dead.”

“The twelfth one is dead…”

Elder Yu sorted through things in his heart. No matter how he thought, he couldn’t understand who would secretly learn arrays. His brothers all killed people and drank blood, one more fierce than the other.

But as for learning arrays… who had this kind of brain? But Mister Yuan’s words were not wrong, and the signs of the thunder magnetics were also not wrong. “Go investigate. As long as I investigate, someone will always expose their flaws…”

Elder Yu’s expression was ice cold. After that, Mo Hua didn’t know how the Demon Sect investigated. Several days later, Elder Yu transmitted a message to Mo Hua:

“Mister Yuan, I have investigated some clues. Currently, the fifth, sixth, eighth, and ninth ones are all under suspicion…” Mo Hua said faintly: “Oh.”

Elder Yu: “I want to ask mister to help me deliberate a bit.”

Mo Hua’s heart was slightly shaken. He would naturally not answer this kind of “death question,” only saying: “I am just an array master.”

Elder Yu quickly explained: “Mister Yuan misunderstands. I am not testing mister, but rather I want to ask mister to help appraise and see which of these people is most likely to be an array master.” Mo Hua thought for a moment and then said: “Okay…”

Elder Yu said: “Among these several people, the ninth one is gluttonous and often locks himself in his room, not knowing what he is doing. After he comes out, he will eat a large meal, otherwise, he will be over-consumed…”

“The eighth one’s thoughts are the deepest. The Demon Sect’s plans are always his responsibility, and his actions are also the most cautious.” “The fifth and sixth ones just recently escaped from that place…”

“That place?”

“This place is secret and not suitable for disclosure to outsiders.”

Mo Hua frowned but didn’t ask further, only replying with an “Um”.

Elder Yu said: “After they escaped, according to convention, they entered my Demon Sect and temporarily resided here. So it is also possible that they are not of the same heart as us.” “The fifth one is short and thin, not tall. The sixth one is tall and big, with deep gaze, steady as a mountain…”

Elder Yu explained the situations of these several people one by one to Mo Hua and then asked: “Mister Yuan, who do you think is most likely to be an array master among these?” For a moment, Mo Hua was actually a bit conflicted.

Because he felt that these four people all had the characteristics of an “array master”.

One was greedy for food, one was scheming, one was not tall, and one had deep gaze… this made it somewhat difficult for him to choose for a while.

Mo Hua casually pointed at one, “The eighth one, with deep thoughts and meticulous consideration, is a bit like.”

Elder Yu shook his head, “The eighth one has been in the sect for many years and plans for the sect wholeheartedly, with no different heart.” “Then the ninth one? Array masters consume a lot of divine sense, sometimes wanting to eat a lot.”

“The ninth one is wide and fat, not necessarily having this scheming, nor necessarily willing to work hard to learn arrays.” “The fifth one? Not tall, so the sea of consciousness will be more condensed…”

“Is there such a saying?” “There should be…”

“But he doesn’t seem like it.” “Then it’s just the sixth one.”

“The sixth one, he has demon qi in his body. Demon cultivators generally don’t learn arrays…”

Just like this, Mo Hua, this “inner ghost,” was earnestly discussing with the Demon Sect elder who exactly was the Demon Sect’s inner ghost. But no matter how he guessed, he was negated by Elder Yu.

Mo Hua was helpless. Because he was originally just bluffing, it was possible that none of these people were array masters.

Mo Hua then said truthfully: “Then perhaps, none of these people know arrays?”

Who knew Elder Yu still shook his head: “No, among them, there is definitely one person whose body hides a foundation in arrays. I can affirm this!” What could Mo Hua say…

You have already affirmed it yourself.

“After chatting with Mister Yuan for a while, I probably have an idea. Allow me to go investigate again.” Elder Yu said. “Um, then Elder Yu go investigate. I still need to continue screening the Yuan Magnetic Array.”

Mo Hua said, appearing very busy.

“I will trouble Mister Yuan.” Elder Yu said, and then no longer disturbed Mo Hua, just went to investigate again. Mo Hua was still somewhat pessimistic.

Investigating like this seemed to be falling into a dead end… Should he give some other hints and let this Elder Yu investigate in another direction? What hints would be good?

Mo Hua pondered for several days. Just when he was about to change direction and “guide” Elder Yu from another angle, Elder Yu came to him first:

“Mister Yuan, as you expected, there is indeed one among my Demon Sect elders who knows arrays.” Mo Hua said in surprise: “Is there really?”

“Didn’t you say so?”

“This… I just, based on the array principles of the thunder magnetic array, had this speculation, and it was not completely certain.” Mo Hua said neutrally and objectively.

Elder Yu: “As expected of Mister Yuan, his actions are rigorous, and his considerations are thorough.” Mo Hua asked curiously: “Who knows arrays?”

Elder Yu’s gaze sank slightly, “The eighth one.” Mo Hua: “Oh…”

Elder Yu said: “I sent people to investigate a bit. This investigation revealed that over the years, the eighth one seemed to plan for the sect and devoted himself wholeheartedly, but behind the scenes, he was quite greedy for a lot of blood pills, ate quite a few kickbacks, and also privately raised quite a few blood slaves.”

“These things, he hid very well.”

“His learning of arrays was just to hide his private ‘assets’ well.” “He was greedy for the sect’s benefits and sought his own private gains. He truly deserves death!”

“Now he probably fears that his traces have been exposed and that he will be wiped out by the elder brother. That’s why he cooperated with the Dao Ting Si, echoing from inside and outside, wanting to seek a glimmer of survival…” For a moment, Mo Hua was a bit shocked.

He had actually let this Elder Yu investigate it. Indeed, even a seamless egg, if stung by flies for a long time, will sooner or later be stung out of its seams. Not to mention that the Demon Sect was originally not clean in its traces.

What he never thought was that the Demon Sect actually had “corruption”… Indeed, where there are people, there is greed. Demon cultivators are no exception.

“So that’s how it is…” Mo Hua said faintly.

He remembered his identity as an outsider array master.

“Then how do you plan to deal with this eighth Elder?” Mo Hua asked. “Betraying the sect is an unforgivable crime!”

“The sect will impose extreme punishment on him!”

Elder Yu’s gaze was full of killing intent, “He completely doesn’t know what kind of grand blueprint this Demon Sect’s foundation was established for.”

Grand blueprint? Mo Hua’s pupils shrank slightly. This Demon Sect still had a bigger plot.

Could this plot be the rebirth of the Great Wasteland Evil God? But what was the relationship between the Evil God’s rebirth and the various behaviors of this Demon Sect? They absorbed blood, held blood banquets; could this help the Great Wasteland Evil God rebirth? “Have I… still not known something?” Mo Hua frowned.

“Whatever, no matter what, I’ll talk about it later. Now, it’s important to eat the divine remains first.” But as soon as he thought of this, Mo Hua suddenly started and realized a key problem.

If this eighth Elder were to be subjected to extreme punishment by the Demon Sect, wouldn’t the divine remains on his body not fall into his own hands? Wouldn’t he have been busy for nothing?

No!

Mo Hua hesitated for a moment and said: “Elder Yu, judging the life and death of an elder like this… is it not… a bit rash?” Elder Yu frowned, not understanding, “Mister Yuan’s meaning is…”

Mo Hua said: “Now the evidence is insufficient. This ‘eighth Elder’ is not necessarily that inner ghost. You can’t just rashly make a decision and sentence him to death just because he knows arrays.” Elder Yu said: “No harm. Even if he’s not the inner ghost, being so greedy is enough to be executed.”

Mo Hua: “…”

If you execute him, I will starve.

“No…” Mo Hua pondered for a bit and continued: “It’s not that simple. If you just kill the eighth Elder like this, then you can’t determine whether he is the true ‘inner ghost’…” “If he is, then naturally all is good, once and for all.”

“But if he isn’t, then it means the true inner ghost is still lurking inside and may still leak secrets to the Dao Ting Si in the future.” Elder Yu’s heart was startled when he heard this, and he had to admit:

“Mister Yuan indeed considers things thoroughly.” Rooting out the inner ghost was a big matter. He almost, due to temporary impulse, made a big mistake.

Elder Yu said: “I will capture the eighth one now, impose blood punishment, strictly torture him, and pry out his secrets to see if he is indeed the inner ghost who colluded with the Dao Ting Si.” Mo Hua quickly said: “No!”

Elder Yu was startled and asked with a frown: “Mister Yuan, is there something improper?” “Torturing him is also useless…”

No one was clearer than Mo Hua that this eighth Elder was not the inner ghost; he was “wrongly accused.” Letting the Demon Sect torture him would only make things worse.

Mo Hua said: “Golden Core realm demon cultivators have firm minds. Strict torture may not necessarily yield results. Moreover, if you ‘force a confession,’ you will instead get wrong conclusions and confuse the truth, allowing the true inner ghost to fish in troubled waters…”

Elder Yu admired Mo Hua even more, “Mister Yuan is truly a profound array master; his considerations are thorough. Then this matter…” Mo Hua suggested: “You can set up a trap to test this eighth Elder and see if he will contact the Dao Ting Si.” “Set what kind of trap?” Elder Yu said.

“I am just an array master.” Mo Hua said, “I don’t understand much about setting traps.” He threw the problem back to Elder Yu.

Elder Yu frowned, thought for a moment, and slowly said:

“Then… I will send the eighth one out to execute a sect task. Then I will leak this intelligence to the Dao Ting Si and see if the Dao Ting Si will indeed go all out to kill the eighth one?”

“If the Dao Ting Si goes all out, it means the eighth one is not the inner ghost. And if he dies at the hands of the Dao Ting Si, it also saves us the trouble of doing it ourselves, which counts as fulfilling our brotherhood and giving him some face. I will not pursue the past matters.”

“Conversely, if the Dao Ting Si gives him a way out, then it means the eighth one really has a problem, and he is indeed the ‘inner ghost’!” Mo Hua nodded.

This Elder Yu was very cunning and skilled in using borrowed knives to kill.

Mo Hua said: “I don’t understand this matter too well; it’s all up to Elder Yu to decide. But suppose the eighth Elder is indeed the inner ghost, then my task is also completed, and I want my share of the reward.” He had a business-like attitude.

“That is natural. Mister Yuan has helped us a great deal; we will naturally not treat mister poorly…” In the bloody stone room, Elder Yu revealed a playful smile.

“Then I thank Elder Yu.”

In the elegant disciple residence of the Taixu Gate, the corner of Mo Hua’s mouth also outlined a faint shallow smile. …

Afterward, all plans were arranged by Elder Yu. In the tight atmosphere of the Dao Ting Si encircling the Demon Sect, an inexplicable task was suddenly assigned to the eighth Elder within the Demon Sect. Strictly speaking, this task was not necessary for the eighth Elder, but the command came from above, so he had no way to refuse.

And Elder Yu’s investigation was very covert. The eighth Elder didn’t realize that his actions had already been exposed.

Then, under the careful design of Mo Hua and Elder Yu, he naturally ran into the encirclement of the Dao Ting Si. Looking at the heavy troops of the Dao Ting Si, the eighth Elder’s heart was cold, and he prepared to fight to the death.

But what he never thought was that the Dao Ting Si, who always fought to the death, actually strangely showed mercy. Gu Changhuai and several others only symbolically exchanged a few moves with him and didn’t go all out.

The eighth Elder easily escaped from the encirclement of the Dao Ting Si. For a moment, he felt as if he were in a dream, a bit hard to believe. Just as he thought he had escaped a calamity and felt a sense of joy, the elder token vibrated with a message.

Someone “anonymous” sent him a message:

“Your matter has been exposed. Elder Yu has set a trap to kill you. Escape quickly.”

Behind the message was a string of evidence of his greedy ink for blood pills, privately raising blood slaves, and eating kickbacks. These were all capital offenses within the Demon Sect, one by one, piece by piece.

The eighth Elder’s face instantly turned extremely pale.

And Mo Hua, who had just anonymously sent a message to the eighth Elder, turned around and sent a message to Elder Yu: “Things have changed. I am monitoring the eighth Elder’s elder token…”

“Just now, someone, I don’t know who, suddenly sent a message to the eighth Elder, informing him that his matter has been exposed and telling him to escape quickly.” “We need to send a Golden Core Elder as soon as possible to chase and kill him and kill him to silence him as soon as possible, otherwise, there may be endless trouble later…”

After sending the message, Mo Hua silently counted in his heart. One fleeing eighth Elder.

And another Golden Core demon head coming to chase and kill the eighth Elder. This way, just the right two Golden Cores would gather, which would be enough for him to break through his realm.

Of course, he also didn’t mind if Elder Yu sent several more Golden Core demon heads to chase and kill the eighth Elder. He would “eat” as many as came…

Mo Hua narrowed his eyes, the corner of his mouth slightly smiling.
