Chapter 136: Chasing

Mo Hua brought Zhang Lan and the other two people and set off, heading towards Guyun Peak.

Mo Hua was very familiar with the mountain roads, so familiar that Zhang Lan found it hard to believe.

He knew clearly where there was a road, where there was water, where there was poison, and where there was fog.

Sometimes, when there seemed to be no road, he would lead them through the forest, turning left and right, and then there would be a road underfoot again.

When they encountered demon beasts, before the beasts even noticed them, Mo Hua would lead them to bypass the area from a distance.

He could also pick some wild fruits and dig up some medicinal herbs along the way...

This leisurely pace made it seem as if they weren't pursuing a criminal but were on a mountain outing...

Zhang Lan found it a bit hard to believe.

How could the outer part of this Da Hei Mountain be like this child Mo Hua's backyard?

This wasn't the Da Hei Mountain he remembered.

Even a cultivator at the late stage of Qi Refining, upon entering Da Hei Mountain, shouldn't they be careful and cautious?

Zhang Lan was shocked internally. Situ Fang didn't know as much and only vaguely felt that this journey was much smoother than she had expected.

Situ Xiu had a sarcastic look on his face and said to Zhang Lan:

"Didn't you say Da Hei Mountain was dangerous? Why is there nothing on this road?"

Zhang Lan looked at him as if he were an idiot.

This imbecile, he really had no sense in his heart. Someone was leading him, and he didn't even know it. Had he grown up with a brain full of water?

After walking for a while, Mo Hua suddenly stopped and said:

"There are demon beasts ahead, we need to take a long detour."

With the journey being so calm, Situ Xiu was feeling bored, so he said:

"We're in a hurry, a detour is too much trouble. It's just a demon beast, let's kill it."

Situ Xiu's voice was a bit loud, and he didn't conceal his aura. As soon as he finished speaking, he saw a pair of red eyes not far away looking towards him.

Discovered!

Zhang Lan's eyebrows furrowed, and he cursed "imbecile" again.

The demon beast looked like a sheep, with red eyes, curled horns, white fur, and sharp teeth. Standing up, it was as tall as a person, and a bloody demon power swirled around its body, giving off a faint oppressive feeling.

Seeing Zhang Lan and the other two, its eyes flashed with a bloodthirsty look, and then it charged over.

Zhang Lan and the other two could only brace themselves for a fight.

Fortunately, all three of them were at the late stage of Qi Refining, so dealing with one red-eyed sheep demon wasn't too difficult.

Situ Xiu's strength was average, but he fought with more bravado, shouting involuntarily: "It's just one demon beast, nothing more!"

As soon as he finished speaking, another demon beast emerged from the grass.

It had crimson fur and a foul-smelling mouth. It was a split-claw wolf demon.

Zhang Lan's heart was bitter, wishing he could tear Situ Xiu's mouth apart!

With one demon beast, they could cope with ease, but with two demon beasts, the situation became chaotic.

Situ Xiu had injuries on his body, and the wounds were burning with pain, so he didn't dare to be arrogant anymore.

The few of them fought a bitter battle.

An hour later, the split-claw wolf was killed, and the sheep demon was injured and ran away.

Only then did the three of them have a chance to catch their breath.

Zhang Lan's back was drenched in sweat. After a moment to breathe, he realized that Mo Hua was missing.

He looked around but didn't see Mo Hua. Just as he was about to call out, he heard Mo Hua's concerned voice ringing in his ear:

"Uncle Zhang, are you all right?"

Mo Hua had appeared at some point. Not only that, but he was also holding a bottle in his hand and excitedly ran to the side of the gasping demon beast, seemingly doing something...

Just now during the battle, Mo Hua hadn't shown any aura. After the fight was over, he had silently reappeared.

Zhang Lan thought to himself that his guess was indeed correct. Even if these people died in the mountains, this boy Mo Hua might not be in any danger.

Situ Fang looked at Mo Hua and said curiously: "What are you doing?"

"I'm taking some demon blood," Mo Hua said.

"Demon blood? What for?"

"To mix spirit ink, for drawing arrays."

Situ Fang said in surprise: "You know arrays too?"

Mo Hua was a little embarrassed and said modestly: "I know a little."

"Oh," Situ Fang nodded.

Zhang Lan looked up at the sky, speechless.

He said he knew a little, and you actually believed him...

Mo Hua put away the demon beast blood and said: "We need to hurry, otherwise we won't arrive before dark."

Then he complained a little: "You dealing with the demon beasts wasted quite some time."

Situ Fang was a little shy and asked again: "You knew the demon beasts were troublesome, that's why you let us take a detour?"

Mo Hua nodded.

Situ Xiu said unconvinced: "This time was just bad luck, we encountered two..."

Mo Hua said: "If there was only one, would I have let you take a detour?"

Situ Xiu was speechless.

Situ Fang also felt a chill in her heart upon hearing this.

This child Mo Hua had known there were two demon beasts earlier, and they only discovered the second demon beast when it appeared...

Mo Hua finished packing the demon blood. Seeing that Zhang Lan and the others had rested almost enough, he said: "We need to hurry and get on our way."

The three nodded.

Mo Hua walked a few steps, then turned back to admonish them:

"You must listen, otherwise it will be very dangerous."

Situ Fang was a little embarrassed. The injured Situ Xiu also lowered his proud head.

After that, the three of them quietly followed Mo Hua. The journey was still relatively smooth, but the sky was getting late, and it was estimated that they would need to spend the night in the mountains.

Mo Hua then found a passing demon hunter and said:

"Uncle Zhou, when you go back, tell my mother that I won't be back for dinner, and I'll go back tomorrow."

"You're alone, are you all right?" The demon hunter said.

"Um um, I'm fine, I have the Daoyuan Department uncles with me," Mo Hua nodded and said.

"Alright, then be careful."

Mo Hua waved goodbye to the demon hunter, then turned back and said:

"Let's find a place to stay for the night first, then we can go to Guyun Peak tomorrow."

Zhang Lan furrowed his brow: "We can't go in the evening?"

"Don't you want to catch people? It's not good to catch them in the evening, and there are many demon beasts in the evening."

Zhang Lan nodded: "That's the only way."

Mo Hua found a small camp nearby, lit a lamp, and then took some meat out of his storage bag and invited Zhang Lan and the others to eat.

Situ Fang took a bite, her eyes lit up, "It's really delicious, is this homemade?"

Mo Hua said proudly: "My mother made it!"

Situ Fang ate a few more bites and said: "It's a pity, these meats don't have any spiritual energy."

"Loose cultivators can't afford spiritual meat," Mo Hua said.

Situ Fang said apologetically: "I wasn't saying these meats weren't good."

After speaking, to show her apology, she took some pastries from her storage bag and invited Mo Hua to eat.

Situ Xiu didn't speak, but he also invited Mo Hua to drink wine.

But the wine was too strong. Mo Hua took a sip, choked, and then didn't drink any more.

Zhang Lan ate anything. Whatever was available, he ate. Whatever wine was available, he also welcomed it.

After they had eaten and drunk their fill, they lay down in their clothes.

Mo Hua couldn't sleep. He needed to enter his sea of consciousness to draw arrays at midnight. Seeing that Zhang Lan was lying down but with his eyes open, obviously also having no intention of sleeping, he moved to his side and quietly asked:

"Uncle Zhang, tell me about the flower-picking thief?"

Zhang Lan raised an eyebrow, "You want to be a flower-picking thief?"

Mo Hua rolled his eyes at him.

Zhang Lan chuckled a little: "What do you want to ask?"

Mo Hua thought for a moment and said: "The Daoyuan has promulgated the 《Dao Law》, which prohibits indiscriminate killing, plundering, and dual cultivation plundering. The 《Dao Law》 mentions dual cultivation plundering and indiscriminate killing, plundering together, so is this dual cultivation plundering a serious crime?"

Zhang Lan's expression also became serious, and he counter-asked:

"Do you know what dual cultivation plundering means?"

Thanks to the reward from End Shadow Space.
