Chapter 437: Chapter 430 Canât Look
He took drugs, he became stronger, but Mo Hua turned invisible.
The gray-clothed cultivator didnât stand a chance.
Once the drug effects of the Corpse Blood Pill faded, he wouldnât be able to leave.
The gray-clothed cultivator howled ferociously a few times. Despite his reluctance, he could no longer stay there.
The humiliation and mockery from that brat could be avenged another day.
He threw a punch to hold Bai Zisheng off, then quickly dashed toward the corridor, smashing through the walls and disappearing into the rooms at the back of the building.
There was chaos in the room, with the sound of cultivatorsâ screams piercing the air.
Using his Concealment Technique, Mo Hua had delayed the gray-clothed cultivator until the effects of the drugs had worn off, seizing the chance to escape, before he slowly reappeared.
Bai Zisheng asked him, âShould we pursue?â
Mo Hua thought for a moment, then nodded, âChase him a bit, but donât be too hasty, lest he becomes cornered and lashes out.â
âOkay.â
The three of them followed the path the gray-clothed cultivator had created by smashing through the walls.
The gray-clothed cultivator fled towards the back building, frantically barging into rooms just like a headless fly, battering through the walls, leaving the entire back building riddled with holes.
Having ingested pills, his physical body was strong and his power much enhanced. The Formation used by the Hundred Flower Tower was only average, so it couldnât withstand his assaults.
As Mo Hua and the others pursued, they found themselves facing a scene of ruined doors and windows as well as damaged walls.
They had no idea where the gray-clothed cultivator had escaped to.
Mo Hua released his Divine Sense, his brow slightly furrowed.
Even with his Divine Sense, he could not detect anything.
Could there be a hidden passage in this Hundred Flower Tower?
Mo Hua remembered what Qinglan had said; she had mentioned that this gray-clothed cultivator âoften stayed here, appearing and disappearing mysteriously, no one knew when he entered or leftâŚâ
In that case, as his drug effects waned, he could only think of escaping.
And escaping would surely mean a hidden passage.
Cultivators do have the ability to teleport, but such high-level techniques, involving spatial transitions, were clearly not within the power of Qi-refining and Foundation Establishment cultivators.
After contemplating for a short while, Mo Hua turned to Bai Zisheng and Bai Zixi and said:
âLetâs split up and look, see if thereâs any mechanism or hidden passage.â
Bai Zisheng and Bai Zixi nodded.
Bai Zixi said, âBe careful.â
âMhmm.â
Mo Hua nodded and then, having used the Concealment Technique to hide his presence, he moved towards the center.
Bai Zisheng went left, Bai Zixi went right.
While Mo Hua
âElder Situ, what will the Taoist Court do next?â
Situ Jin glanced at Situ Fang, who thought for a moment and then said:
âWe now know what the grey-clothed cultivator looks like. Next, we will report to the court, verify his portrait, and retrieve his native information to ascertain his identity.â
Mo Hua was somewhat surprised, âHeâs a bad guy though, can he still be found out?â
Situ Fang said, âEven bad guys arenât born bad.â
âMany Sin Cultivators and Heretical Demons were Serious Cultivators at first, but due to personal desires or mistakes, they strayed from the right path.â
âAs long as one is a Serious Cultivator, the Taoist Court will record their native information.â
Mo Hua asked, âDo I have native information too?â
Situ Fang said helplessly, âAre you a Serious Cultivator?â
Mo Hua nodded, âIâm very serious.â
âThen naturally, you do. However, the native information of a general cultivator is quite simple and usually, the Taoist Court can check it,â said Situ Fang.
âDoesnât that mean oneâs background can easily be checked by others?â
Mo Hua frowned.
In his memory, the Taoist Court was very easy to bribe.
Once bribed, wouldnât anyone be able to check his background?
âItâs like that for general cultivators.â
Situ Fang said, and then she looked at Mo Hua with a smile and continued:
âHowever, if your cultivation becomes high in the future, if you are successful with formations, and if your status becomes noteworthy, the Central Tao Court will encrypt your native information, and the general Taoist Court will no longer have the authority to view it.â
âAlso, each cultivator who inquires about your native information will be required to state a reason and will be recorded.â
Mo Hua nodded and then asked:
âAfter the grey-clothed cultivatorâs identity is confirmed, how will the Taoist Court capture him?â
Situ Fang sighed, âThatâs going to require some effortâŚâ
âGenerally, a wanted notice will be issued, a reward will be offered, and based on his identity, related cultivators will be sought out for investigation to unravel the truth layer by layerâŚâ
Situ Fang continued, but suddenly paused and looked at Mo Hua skeptically:
âWhy do you ask these things?â
Mo Hua smiled shyly, âIâm just learning.â
Situ Fang laughed at this and shook her head, âYou canât learn everything⌠Leave the pursuit to the Taoist Court, and you all head back first.â
âAlright,â Mo Hua agreed, and then he seemed to remember something and asked:
âWhat about Sister Qinglan?â
âYou mean that young girl?â
Mo Hua nodded.
He was worried that the brothel keeper would hold a grudge and take revenge on Qinglan.
Women in the brothel often had lives as unstable as floating weeds.
Since Qinglan had helped him, Mo Hua also wanted to consider her well-being and provide her with a way out.
Situ Fang thought for a moment and then said:
âLeave it to me. Iâll go to the brothel keeper, obtain her deed of sale, and take her away.â
âWill the brothel keeper agree?â
Situ Fang sneered, âShe has to agree even if she doesnât want to. Iâll just say that Qinglan, this little girl, was colluding with the Sin Cultivator, and her Hundred Flower Tower is also under suspicion.â
âIn order to absolve herself of suspicion, the brothel keeper will definitely toss Qinglan, this hot potato, over to me, and she wouldnât dare to keep the deed.â
Mo Hua smiled, âThen thank you, Sister Situ.â
After that, the matters were concluded by Situ Fang and the Taoist Court.
Mo Hua and the others then left the Hundred Flower Tower.
Before their arrival tonight, the Hundred Flower Tower was a world of lavish splendor but upon departure, it was left in a state of disarray.
Mo Hua looked back at the Hundred Flower Tower, and suddenly, a trace of doubt surfaced in his mind.
He remembered that the Hundred Flower Tower was guarded by a Foundation Building Cultivator.
With such commotion, the Lu Familyâs Foundation Establishment had never intervened.
Were they not aware, and thus did not get involved, or did they know everything but pretended to be unaware?
Mo Huaâs brow furrowed again.
The mine, the Ultimate Formation, the deceased Mining Cultivators, the Lu Family, the Hundred Flower Tower, the grey-clothed cultivatorâŚ
And the missing Instructor Yan.
Could there be a connection among these�
Mo Huaâs brows knitted tighter for a moment.
