Someone was inquiring about the affairs of a Formation Master, and Elder Yu informed Mo Hua and instructed him to be cautious.“One should not harbor ill-intentions, but it is essential to guard against others.”After giving it some thought, Mo Hua felt that the likelihood of being suspected was not very high. Unless it was someone he knew well, it was improbable for an ordinary Cultivator to believe that Mo Hua, who was in his teens, could create a First-grade Formation.On the contrary, Mo Hua was worried about Mr. Zhuang; he feared that the Qian Family might suspect Mr. Zhuang and that he might cause trouble for Mr. Zhuang.Mo Hua went to see Mr. Zhuang and briefly explained the situation.Hearing this, Mr. Zhuang just smiled and said, “Do what you think is right, there’s no need to worry about me.”“Won’t the Qian Family cause you trouble?”“They won’t find it.”“What if they do find it?” Mo Hua was still somewhat anxious.“‘Originally there was nothing, where could the dust arise

Master Luo asked, “I’ve heard there’s an unknown first-grade Formation Master in Tongxian City who has some kind of enmity with the Qian Family. Little Brother Qian, is this the matter you asked me here for?”Master Qian sighed, “Master Luo is perceptive. We’re all Formation Masters, and we all know how rare a first-grade is, so we’d rather not tear off the façade and embarrass everyone unless it’s absolutely necessary.”“Then what does Little Brother Qian intend to do?”Master Qian said, “No matter what happened before, my Qian Family is willing to make friends with him. Spirit Stones, anything can be discussed. If that’s not possible, we hope he will neither help nor make things difficult for my Qian Family, and we will still treat him courteously. If this Formation Master is truly unreasonable, then my Qian Family will have no choice but to tear off the façade.”Master Luo nodded, “To go to such lengths, Little Brother Qian has certainly done all one could.”“Does Master Qian have

Runes?Mo Hua glanced at them and discovered there were three runes in his hand, all made of jade. Two of them were inlaid with red patterns and bore the inscription “Fiery Flame Rune,” while the third was inlaid with golden patterns, inscribed with “Golden Sword Rune.”“Are these runes very expensive?” Mo Hua asked.Old Zhao nodded and said, “They are quite expensive, and not easy to buy, either. These runes should possess the power of spells from the Qi Refining Ninth Level, having considerable destructive force. They are regulated by the Taoist Court, and usually cannot be purchased through regular channels.”“Then they are too valuable. I cannot accept them.”“Take them with you for self-defense, it will give us peace of mind,” Old Zhao insisted, refusing Mo Hua’s rejection and patted his shoulder. “Alright, you should head back now. I’ll take care of teaching these bastards a lesson first.”“Mm-hmm, Uncle Zhao has worked hard.”Mo Hua stopped being polite, accepted the runes, and

Master Luo had a restless night and the next day sought out several Formation Masters in Tongxian City, giving them a few instructions, then went to the Qian Family, and found Master Qian.“I have told them, from now on, they are not allowed to make things difficult for Mo Hua. As for the Monster Hunters, it’s also best not to start disputes.”Master Qian frowned, “Master Luo, this…”Master Luo countered, “Little Brother Qian, what is your plan?”“About Mo Hua?”“Indeed.”Master Qian was taken aback, then said, “Originally, I wanted to befriend him. If he could serve the Qian Family, that would naturally be best; if not, I would hope he could stay out of it, taking neither side; and if even that’s not possible, then I would have no choice but to act ruthlessly. Once we take action, life and death are fated, and it’s beyond my control.”Master Qian shared the advice he had given Qian Hong with Master Luo.Master Luo let out a cold laugh, “But Qian Hong went straight for the kill, tryin

“Taoist Prison is not a place cultivators can enter at will. Ordinary cultivators had better not set foot in there in their lifetimes, for it is not a pleasant place.”Mo Hua nodded, feeling that Zhang Lan’s words made sense.He wanted to be a “law-abiding” good cultivator; it was better to avoid places like the Taoist Prison whenever possible.There were also many Formations inside and outside the Taoist Court.These Formations were quite subtle and not low in rank, some Mo Hua could discern, but others he could not.Mo Hua also did not dare to look too closely.After all, this was the Taoist Court, and if he caught sight of some forbidden Formations, that would truly be troublesome.Zhang Lan brought Mo Hua before Court Leader Zhou and respectfully performed a salute.Mo Hua followed suit with his salute, then sneakily raised his head to size up Court Leader Zhou.Court Leader Zhou was very old with graying hair, his figure slightly hunched, and his face genial. But within his gaze,
