Elder Yu finished speaking and suddenly slapped the table, angrily saying, “This is outrageous!”For over two hundred years, so many Monster Hunters have disappeared in Big Black Mountain.While some were certainly killed by Monster Beasts, who knows how many were killed by these evil men in the deep mountains and then dragged further into the depths?The key is that for all these years, everyone was completely unaware.Elder Yu thought for a moment and concluded that perhaps it was precisely because Big Black Mountain was so perilous, and it was common for Cultivators to go missing, that they used this as a cover to kill without anyone noticing.A chill grew in Elder Yu’s heart.This group of people had done much evil and had been plotting for a long time, their schemes truly deep and profound!Elder Yu took a deep breath and said to Mo Hua:“I will notify others about this. Whether truth or falsehood, everyone should be on their guard. Even though your movement technique is good, yo

Mo Hua indeed wanted to master the Reversed Spirit Formation.But a ten-pattern Reversed Spirit Formation required a Divine Sense of the Foundation Establishment Stage to learn. By the time he achieved that, Mo Hua might have already been close to Foundation Establishment himself.Mr. Zhuang probably wanted to avoid trouble and started to overpromise…Mo Hua silently thought to himself.Then he noticed that Mr. Zhuang was looking at him with a half-smile. Mo Hua was alarmed and knew that his internal criticism of Mr. Zhuang had been perceived by him again.He had no idea how Mr. Zhuang knew.Mo Hua could only heh heh with a forced laugh and said,“Gentleman, please rest well. I won’t disturb you anymore.”After leaving Mr. Zhuang’s Forgetful Residence, Mo Hua hurriedly took out the Concealment Formation and began to study it intently.The Concealment Formation was a kind of Water Series Formation, but its effect was different from regular Water Series Formations.Therefore, the Format

At night, Mo Hua practiced the Concealment Formation and the Reversed Spirit Formation on the Taoist Stele in his Sea of Consciousness.He was already familiar with the Concealment Formation, merely reviewing it.The Reversed Spirit Formation was extremely difficult; a complete one required the Divine Sense of ten patterns, which Mo Hua couldn’t draw yet—it just served as a training tool to hone his Divine Sense.The next morning, he rose early to perform his routine cultivation for two hours.After a quick breakfast, he set off for Big Black Mountain, crossing the Outer Mountain to reach the Inner Mountain and then arrived at the cliff edge.The cliff rose steeply a thousand feet high, wrapped in clouds and mist, its depth unfathomable.Mo Hua sat cross-legged at the edge of the cliff, closed his eyes and released his Divine Sense downward to probe beneath the cliff.This time, with a hypothesis in mind, his purpose was more specific and his perception even more careful.A moment lat

Mo Hua looked on in utter shock.“Black Mountain Stronghold!”In the depths of Big Black Mountain, there was actually a stronghold!The ancient gate of the mountain stronghold seemed to have existed for a hundred years.The door was splattered with bloodstains, likely from beheading victims and the splashing of blood, which, over the years, had created a nauseating smell of decay.It looked both sinister and eerie.“At midnight, present a head to ask the way.”Mo Hua silently recited in his mind.To present a head to ask the way, that is the meaning: to kill and behead, using the severed head as a token of introduction, and then the gates of Black Mountain Stronghold would appear.The appearance of the gate also signified that the sin cultivators within the stronghold accepted you.Indeed, moments later, accompanied by an ancient and nauseating creaking sound, the gates of Black Mountain Stronghold slowly opened.The fat cultivator’s face showed a crazed joy as he straightened his Tao

Mo Hua was startled and immediately lay flat on the roof beam, motionless.At the same time, a Divine Sense roughly swept over him but failed to see through his concealment.The burly man withdrew his Divine Sense, finding nothing, and bellowed angrily, “Who’s there, sneaking around?”The middle-aged cultivator frowned and also released his Divine Sense, scanning the surroundings.A noticeably deeper Divine Sense passed through the roof beam, condensed upon Mo Hua, and penetrated the concealment of the Concealment Formation on him.However, beneath the Concealment Formation, there was another layer of concealment from a Concealment Technique.It was already night, and the roof beam was dark; even a mediocre Concealment Technique would not be easily detected.The middle-aged cultivator saw through one layer of concealment but still did not discover Mo Hua, and after a moment of hesitation, he too withdrew his Divine Sense and said indifferently,“There’s no one here; there’s no need to
