The cave was in a mess, some formations were destroyed, some book formations were smashed to pieces by spiritual power, there were several holes in the walls, and several jars of blood were spilled all over the floor.
The third master’s shoulder was pierced by a spear, and he was pinned to the wall, and his hands and feet were locked with silver shackles.
These are the shackles specially used by the Dao Bing Department, a second-grade spiritual weapon, and there is a spirit locking formation painted on it, which is specially used to lock prisoners.
Commander Yang is a son of a noble family, and he also commands Tao soldiers. He has experienced hundreds of battles, and his personal strength and fighting experience are not comparable to those of the third leader.
The only thing the third master is good at is formations.
But now with the help of Mo Hua, his formation is of no use at all, and naturally he cannot be the opponent of Commander Yang.
After fighting for about ten rounds, they were captured by Commander Yang.
Ink painting walks into the cave.
When the Third Master saw it, his eyes suddenly widened and he was shocked: “It’s you?!”
Mo Hua nodded, “It’s me!”
The Third Master struggled to get up, but was held down by Commander Yang, unable to move.
The Third Master was in pain and gave up struggling. He just said in disbelief: “Are you really… an formation master?”
“Did you guess it?” Mo Hua did not deny it.
The Third Master’s eyelids trembled, and his heart felt cold.
He had it all figured out.
Who sneaked into Black Mountain Village, who solved his formation, and who destroyed his visualization diagram…
Sure enough, this kid did everything! But he felt unbelievable in his heart, “How is this possible? How can you have such a strong spiritual consciousness?”
Just in the Qi Refining Realm, the divine consciousness is comparable to foundation building.
This was far beyond his monastic knowledge.
Mo Hua smiled slightly and did not answer.
He didn’t want his details to be revealed.
If the Third Master wants to guess, let him keep guessing.
The third master’s expression changed, and finally he seemed unwilling to give in and asked again, “Did you really solve my formation?”
“That’s right.” Mo Hua said casually.
Unexpectedly, these words made the third master look downcast and he became completely lost.
The strong sense of consciousness may be due to the fact that this kid has good talent. Maybe he solved his own formation, which means that his formation attainments are far beyond his own.
A young monk in his teens, his formation skills are far beyond his own…
The Third Master’s Taoist heart even began to show cracks…
This is simply impossible!
Even if there are such people in this world, they should be the geniuses of those Taoist families and ancient sects. How could he be such a small casual cultivator from such a remote place and a humble background? The Third Master looked at Mo Hua with eyes that were in disbelief at first, then turned decadent, and then filled with jealousy and resentment.
“You’re a lucky little bastard…”
Before he could finish cursing, Mo Hua pulled out a Qianjun stick and hit him in the face with the stick.
Mo Hua snorted coldly, “You don’t seem to understand your situation yet.”
Commander Yang also frowned and thrust the spear a little deeper. The violent spiritual power on the spear eroded the third master’s body.
The pain from the wound made the third master sober up.
He suddenly realized that the kid in front of him was not so easy to deal with.
This brat had the audacity to sneak into Black Mountain Stronghold, and even after being discovered by him, he could make excuses with him without blushing or breathing, deceiving him by every trick, and even tricked a few evil cultivators to death…
This courage and scheming are absolutely extraordinary.
This kid, even if he is not an old devil who takes away his body, is still a little monster with great wisdom.
It’s really not wise to offend him now.
The Third Master suppressed the many feelings of jealousy and resentment in his heart and forced himself to calm down.
When Mo Hua saw that the third leader was interested, he stopped beating him.
Of course, his physical body is weak. Even if he wields a huge stick and dislocates his arm, it will not cause much harm to the third master. He can only express his dissatisfaction.
Mo Hua asked what he was concerned about: “You didn’t tell your village master about me?”
“No.”
“Why?” Mo Hua was a little confused.
The Third Master is reluctant to say.
Mo Hua snorted again, “Don’t be so shameless!”
After saying that, he picked up the cudgel again and prepared to slap the third master in the face, not to hurt him, but to humiliate him.
The Third Master gritted his teeth and said, “I said so!”
He didn’t want to be humiliated by a teenage monk.
Mo Hua put away the Qianjun Stick and said, “Let’s talk.”
The third master hesitated for a moment and said: “I found that the formation in Heishan Village was tampered with. I suspect that it was you who did it, but I am not sure. After all, it is not something that ordinary formation masters can learn.”
“But then, I thought about how strong your spiritual consciousness is, and I thought it might be you.”
“Then you won’t tell your village leader?” Mo Hua asked.
The third master sneered, “If I told you to fall into the hands of the village master, then all the secrets in you would belong to the village master…”
“But if I don’t tell you and let me catch you, I can pry into the secret of your consciousness and ask for the method to solve the formation. By doing so, you can enhance your consciousness and improve your formation level by leaps and bounds.”
“If it were you, how would you choose?” the third master asked.
Mo Hua touched his chin.
What he said seems to make sense…
People will be punished by heaven and earth if they don’t do it for themselves, let alone an evil cultivator like the Third Master.
“In addition, there is one more thing…” The third master looked at Mo Hua, his eyes slightly focused and said: “I am afraid that you will seek refuge with the village leader.”
Mo Hua was stunned, “Take refuge with the village leader?”
The third master said coldly: “I have seen your tactics to relieve the enemy. To be honest, it makes me feel ashamed and scared.”
“At such a young age, he has such a powerful spiritual consciousness and such profound knowledge of formations.”
“If the village leader knew about it, he would ask you to join the Black Mountain Village no matter what. If you don’t want to, he will also try his best to use coercion and inducement to make you become an evil cultivator in the Black Mountain Village.”
“And once you join Heishan Village, there will be two formation masters in Heishan Village. There is no room for two tigers in one mountain. I think you should know it.”
“What’s more, you are still so young, and your future formations will be unlimited. Even if you want to kill me, the leader of the village will probably do it for you personally.”
“It’s not that exaggerated…”
Mo Hua was a little surprised. He didn’t know he had such a big reputation…
The third master sneered, “I have followed the village master for many years, and I know very well what kind of person he is. As long as you have talent, you can basically get whatever you want, but if you are no longer useful, he will abandon you like a piece of shit.”
Mo Hua nodded slightly.
This also fits his impression of the ancestor of the Qian family.
As the Third Master was talking, he suddenly came back to his senses, his expression suddenly changed, and he asked, “No, how do you know there is a leader in Black Mountain Village?”
Mo Hua was stunned and speechless for a moment.
This third-in-command’s response was too slow…
But looking at him like this, he probably didn’t know that the identity of the ancestor of the Qian family had been exposed, nor that the ancestor of the Qian family was surrounded and killed by Taoist soldiers, and was seriously injured and escaped.
In other words, he is hiding here and has no contact with the ancestor of the Qian family.
“Your village leader has been slaughtered!” Mo Hua deceived him.
The Third Master felt like he was struck by lightning, then he calmed down and sneered, “No way.”
“Why?” Mo Hua asked strangely.
The third master sneered, but was unwilling to answer.
“What are these evil formations you drew for?” Mo Hua asked again.
The third master closed his eyes and remained silent. Even if Commander Yang stabbed the spear deeper and activated his spiritual power to twist his wound, the third master just endured the pain and said nothing.
It seems that these matters are confidential and the Third Master will not tell them easily.
Commander Yang said: “Take him back, put him in Taoist Prison, and torture him severely.”
Mo Hua nodded. For now, that’s all.
Commander Yang drew his spear and prepared to escort the third master back to Tongxian City. Before leaving, the third master suddenly asked: “What happened to the village leader?”
Mo Hua thought for a while, but without hiding anything from him, he told the truth: “His identity was exposed, he was surrounded and killed, and he escaped with serious injuries. He probably won’t cause any trouble.”
The third master looked disappointed.
He probably still thought that the ancestors of the Qian family could find him again to regroup together, make a comeback, and build another Black Mountain stronghold.
How can such a good thing happen?
Mo Hua snorted in his heart.
When the third head of the family was escorted away by Commander Yang, his face was dejected, but when he turned around, the corner of his mouth was slightly raised, revealing a strange sneer.
His smile was so subtle that Mo Hua wouldn’t have been able to detect it if he didn’t have a sharp sense of consciousness.
Why is the third in charge, the sixth in charge, laughing?
Mo Hua frowned.
He checked the things in the cave from beginning to end, and found nothing special.
He and Commander Yang had gone through the third master’s storage bag before. There were only some spiritual stones, some blood ink, some life elixirs, and a incomplete visualization picture.
The Taoist boy transformed into a green-faced imp is missing from the visualization picture—because the imp was eaten by Mo Hua.
Among all the things, the only thing that Mo Hua paid attention to and was a little special was the evil formation painted by the third master.
What is this evil formation… used for?
