Immortality Through Array Formations - Chapter 1530

"Thank goodness..."

He initially thought that Mo Hua had a conflict with the Xiao family and deliberately set up a Formation to blow up the Xiao family’s Enforcement Leader.

Given the current situation, it’s not difficult to handle.

Gu Changhuai silently put away the Token.

Mo Hua said worriedly, "Uncle Gu, what do we do now?"

Gu Changhuai raised an eyebrow, "What do you mean, what do we do?"

Mo Hua pointed to the corpse on the ground, "This Xiao family’s Enforcement Leader..."

Gu Changhuai frowned, "What Xiao family’s Enforcement Leader? Where is there an Enforcement Leader from the Xiao family?"

Mo Hua was taken aback.

"You acted bravely for justice, only killing a few masked bandits. What’s it got to do with the Xiao family?"

Gu Changhuai said seriously, "In this desolate wild area, there are only Sin Cultivators who failed to kill and got killed instead. Where’s the Enforcement Leader?"

Mo Hua suddenly understood and nodded.

Uncle Gu is indeed an experienced Dao Court Canon.

The procedure is really well-versed.

It seems there’s still a lot for me to learn.

Gu Changhuai’s gaze shifted to Yu Canghai, frowning slightly.

Mo Hua said, "This senior is a disciple of the Water Prison Sect, surnamed Yu, given name Canghai."

Upon seeing Gu Changhuai, Yu Canghai’s eyes were fierce, "Are you from the Taoist Court?"

Even though Gu Changhuai wasn’t wearing the Tao Court’s official Taoist Robe, his imposing demeanor and conduct were different from ordinary cultivators, something Yu Canghai could recognize at a glance.

Moreover, he had Golden Core Cultivation.

A Golden Core Realm Cultivator in the Taoist Court is at least a Supervisor wielding power!

Yu Canghai’s expression was vigilant.

Gu Changhuai looked at him coldly, "So what if I am?"

Yu Canghai then sneered, "There’s not a single good person in the Taoist Court!"

Gu Changhuai’s expression was displeased.

Mo Hua quickly said, "Alright, alright."

A Golden Core old man of indeterminate age, arguing with a two-hundred-year-old Golden Core Steward.

Mo Hua said to Yu Canghai, "Your enemy is the Gui Water Sect. I can’t protect you; only Uncle Gu can help you."

Yu Canghai shook his head, "I can’t trust the people of the Taoist Court. Even if I die, I won’t accept their kindness. Once you lightly trust the Taoist Court, my Water Prison Sect’s Taoist inheritance will be cut off sooner or later..."

"But if you die now, the Water Prison Sect’s Taoist inheritance is already broken." Mo Hua said.

Yu Canghai was stunned.

Mo Hua sighed, "This is already the worst situation. If you listen to Uncle Gu, you might still survive to pass on the Taoist inheritance. Otherwise, your Water Prison Sect is really doomed."

Yu Canghai’s expression fluctuated and finally sighed.

Although he was a bit stubborn, he wasn’t foolish, and soon he understood.

He now had no room for bargaining.

Mo Hua then said another sentence to Gu Changhuai:

"He is from the Water Prison Sect, pursued by Evil Cultivators directed by the Gui Water Sect, which is secretly connected to the Taoist Court."

Secret connections with the Taoist Court inevitably involved internal traitors of the Court.

The Gui Water Sect’s direction involved internal corruption within the Sect.

The Evil Cultivators likely involved Water Yama and the annihilation case of the Yu family’s water fortress.

In a flash, Gu Changhuai understood that this Golden Core old man was a key witness.

The displeasure in Gu Changhuai’s eyes slightly faded, and he nodded, saying:

"Okay."

Now that it was explained clearly, Mo Hua also breathed a sigh of relief.

Next, it was the aftermath.

Gu Changhuai said, "I’ll call someone over to collect the bodies, and outwardly claim that the bandits on the Mistwater River intended to commit robbery but were killed by the Taoist Court. Don’t leak any information."

"Yes, yes." Mo Hua nodded, then added, "By the way, Uncle Gu, there are a few more..."

Gu Changhuai froze, "A few of what?"

Mo Hua pointed towards the deep mountains, "There are four more, dead over there..."

Gu Changhuai silently looked at Mo Hua.

Mo Hua looked a bit embarrassed, whispering, "I just helped a little, not that I did it myself."

Gu Changhuai took a deep breath and sighed, "Good."

One move took eight lives.

Plus, an Enforcement Leader of the Xiao family.

Fortunately, this rascal Mo Hua wasn’t his own nephew, otherwise, he’d either be exhausted to death or driven mad sooner or later.

...

Afterward, Gu Changhuai called the Gu family members to collect the bodies and clean up the scene.

Mo Hua then took the Gu family’s carriage, returning to Qingzhou City with Yu Canghai.

Yu Canghai was temporarily settled at the Gu family, with the public identity of a Taoist Friend of Gu Changhuai visiting specifically while passing through the Qian Learning State Boundary.

This claim wouldn’t raise suspicion among outsiders.

Who in their lifetime of cultivation hasn’t had a few Taoist Friends?

But internally within the Gu family, those who knew Gu Changhuai suspected something was amiss.

Because Gu Changhuai had a bad temper and indeed had few Taoist Friends.

But they presumed it was a matter of the Taoist Court, so no one inquired further.

Yu Canghai was temporarily settled down.

In the Gu family, the environment was peaceful, with food and drink, no lack of healing Pills, and no fear of being hunted. Given time, his injuries would gradually heal.

About the matters of the Water Prison Sect, Gui Water Sect, and the Taoist Court, he recounted everything to Gu Changhuai.

Mo Hua also listened on the side.

Yu Canghai’s account was more or less the same as what he had previously heard, offering little new.

The only difference was Water Yama.

"Have you seen Water Yama?" Gu Changhuai asked.

Mentioning Water Yama, anger immediately appeared on Yu Canghai’s face, his eyes filled with deep hatred:

"Even if he turned into ashes, I wouldn’t forget him!"

"What does he look like?" Mo Hua asked.

Yu Canghai’s gaze was cold, "He looks like a clean young man, fair-skinned, with cold eyes, a sinister expression, skilled in water manipulation, and adept with a Nine-Locked Snake Whip."

Mo Hua and Gu Changhuai exchanged a glance and nodded slightly.

This matched the "Water Yama" they had briefly encountered at the dock that night.
