Chapter 152: Mediation

After the battle ended, the demon hunters cleaned up the battlefield.

Injured demon hunters received treatment.

The Qian family cultivators were then stripped of their storage bags and spirit tools, thrown outside, and whether they lived or died depended on whether the Qian family was willing to come and save them.

Furthermore, all captured spoils were to be handed over, uniformly categorized, and then distributed according to merit and the needs of the cultivators.

In the mine cave, Elder Yu found a large stone and sat down.

The demon hunters came forward one after another and handed their captured storage bags to Elder Yu.

Mo Hua, holding several full storage bags in his arms, walked to Elder Yu's front, preparing to hand them over.

Elder Yu was startled. "What are you doing?"

"Handing them over."

Elder Yu glared at him slightly. "Child, what fun are you joining? Keep them for yourself to play with."

"Oh." Mo Hua sat to one side.

After a while, Elder Yu still couldn't resist and asked curiously:

"Where did you get all these storage bags from?"

Mo Hua said somewhat awkwardly, "I picked them up at the foot of the mountain. I was picking up leftovers."

"Picking up leftovers?"

"Yes." Mo Hua explained, "Just the escaped Qian family cultivators. If they were alone, I'd take care of them and then take their storage bags."

Elder Yu stared, thinking, what are you saying?

Even if a Qian family cultivator was alone, they were still proper late-stage Qi Refining cultivators. How could you, a child of ten-something, take care of them?

And you say it so lightly, like eating candied haws...

Elder Yu furrowed his brow and then asked, "Have you learned spells?"

"Yes, I learned Fireball Technique."

"Oh."

Elder Yu nodded. That made more sense.

Immediately, his brows furrowed again.

Something wasn't right. Fireball Technique wasn't that easy to use to take care of someone.

Spells require condensing qi to cast. If you're not skilled, whether you can even hit your target is a problem...

Elder Yu wanted to ask more, but other demon hunters had already come up to hand over their storage bags, so he didn't ask.

"Elder Yu, do I really not need to hand these over?" Mo Hua secretly asked again.

"You picked them up outside the mine cave, so it counts as your own ability. Besides, we're not so shabby as to want a child's things."

"Thank you, Elder Yu!"

Mo Hua felt at ease and rightfully accepted them.

After the mine cave was properly tidied up, Elder Yu sent people to guard it and then let the injured demon hunters go back to recuperate first.

Mo Shan also went back, but he wasn't injured. Wearing the one-grade gold armor array vine armor painted with the array, demon beasts couldn't even tear it open, let alone the knives and swords of ordinary Qi Refining stage cultivators.

He was sending Mo Hua back. After all, Mo Hua was now considered to be "carrying a huge sum."

After returning home, Mo Hua closed the door, threw the storage bags he was holding in his arms onto the table, and then opened them one by one.

Mo Shan watched, his expression somewhat complex.

He also didn't know how his son could pick up leftovers and collect so many storage bags...

There were probably a dozen or so storage bags, and the contents inside were many and varied.

Generally, there were spirit stones, spirit tools, pills, Dao robes, etc., as well as some miscellaneous items, none of which were very valuable.

There were also several colorful small booklets with charming female cultivators drawn on them, doing strange things.

Mo Hua just flipped them open and didn't even have time to look carefully before they were confiscated by Mo Shan.

Mo Hua felt somewhat regretful. "I don't know what was drawn inside..."

The inventory of the dozen or so storage bags was quickly finished.

There were just three or four hundred spirit stones, plus some raw spirit ore stones. Adding the pills, spirit tools, and other items, the total value was estimated to be five or six hundred spirit stones.

Five or six hundred spirit stones!

Mo Hua couldn't help but sigh.

No wonder people often say, a horse doesn't get fat without night grass, and a person doesn't get rich without a windfall.

But this kind of business should still not be done.

Mo Hua still wanted to be a law-abiding good cultivator.

Unless some fools like the Qian family, who were both bad and stupid, crashed into his hands...

Mo Shan gave all the spirit stones inside the storage bags to Mo Hua, letting him use them for cultivation and learning arrays. Mo Shan took away some of the other spirit tools, pills, Dao robes, and vine armor, etc.

This time, the Qian family suffered a great loss and would certainly not let it go.

In the coming days, they would likely face the Qian family's crazy counterattack. These spirit tools and pills could all be useful.

But before the Qian family counterattacked, the Dao Court Division came to the door first.

After all, the fight between the demon hunters and the Qian family caused quite a few casualties. Both emotionally and reasonably, the Dao Court Division could not stand by.

The head official of the Dao Court Division personally sought out Elder Yu.

When Mo Hua heard about it, he also followed his dad to join the fun.

Elder Yu and the head official talked for a long time in the room. No one knew what they talked about, but when they came out, both of their expressions were not very good.

It seemed like they had not parted happily.

What did they talk about?

Mo Hua was very curious, but if he went to ask, Elder Yu would definitely not tell him.

Just at this time, he saw Zhang Lan following behind the head official.

Zhang Lan was a Dian Si in the Dao Court Division. His position was not low, and he was a family disciple. It was reasonable for him to attend such an important occasion.

As Zhang Lan walked, he noticed a familiar gaze looking at him.

He turned his head and it was indeed Mo Hua.

Mo Hua blinked at him.

Zhang Lan sighed in his heart, pretended not to see, and turned his head to walk away.

In the afternoon, he found some free time and ran to Mo Hua's home eatery to drink alcohol.

Mo Hua personally poured him wine, his eyes looking at him eagerly.

Zhang Lan said helplessly, "Say it, what do you want to know?"

Mo Hua's eyes lit up. "What were Elder Yu and your head official talking about this morning?"

Zhang Lan coughed and lowered his voice.

"The matter of the spirit mine, you know about it, right?"

Mo Hua nodded.

Although he expected it, Zhang Lan was still somewhat surprised. "How much do you know?"

"I should know everything there is to know. I even went the day they occupied the spirit mine."

And picked up a dozen or so storage bags...

Of course, Mo Hua didn't say these words.

Zhang Lan was a cultivator from the Dao Court Division after all and had his own stance. He couldn't be put in a difficult position.

Mo Hua was very "considerate" and thought for Zhang Lan.

Zhang Lan sighed. "You have a lot of courage."

A melee of cultivators, and this kid dared to get involved.

Zhang Lan said, "Since you know everything, I won't beat around the bush. Such a big matter has occurred, with casualties on both sides. The head official definitely wants to resolve it peacefully, and the Qian family side also agreed. However, the Qian family's request is for you to hand over the spirit mine, and then they will no longer pursue the matter..."

Mo Hua snorted. "They're dreaming!"

"Your Elder Yu also said that," Zhang Lan said.

Of course, while saying this, he also mixed in quite a few dirty words. Some of the dirty words were extremely vulgar, and Zhang Lan had never even heard them before.

Zhang Lan had seen quite a few Foundation Establishment cultivators. Elder Yu wasn't the one with the highest cultivation among them, but he was the fiercest at scolding people.

"Then what will happen?" Mo Hua asked.

Zhang Lan sighed. "Nothing much. At this point, the Dao Court Division just can't intervene."

"Ah?"

Mo Hua's gaze held some doubt.

Meaning your Dao Court Division only has this much capability?

Zhang Lan said helplessly, "The Dao Court Division only has that few cultivators in total. Normally, maintaining Dao laws and catching one or two criminal cultivators is okay. This kind of conflict between two forces is just not something we can manage."

Zhang Lan added, "At least the Dao Court Division in Tongxian City can't manage it. At most, they can only mediate in the middle and let everyone follow common rules to handle it."

Mo Hua asked again, "What are 'common' rules?"

Zhang Lan's expression gradually became serious, and he lowered his voice.

"Just use the Nameless Peak where the spirit mine is located as the boundary. Outside of Nameless Peak, you cannot kill without reason, but on Nameless Peak, you should fight if you need to fight, and kill if you need to kill, until both sides have fought enough and stop..."

"No one will know you died there except yourselves. The Dao Court Division will turn a blind eye and won't report it to the Dao Court."

Simple, rough, and barbaric.

When Mo Hua heard this, his gaze also became stern.

That is to say, the real fierce battle is just beginning...

Thank you to End Shadow Space for the reward.
