Chapter 308: Doubts

Mo Hua again stood at the gate of Hei Shan Cun.

Two days ago, Hei Shan Cun was breached, and most of the evil cultivators were wiped out.

Among the four Foundation Establishment evil cultivators, the fourth boss died in battle, the second boss was severely injured and captured, and the first boss and the third boss were severely injured and fled, and are currently being pursued by the Dao Court Division and the Dao Soldier Division.

Hei Shan Cun, which had been hiding in the deep mountains and committing numerous evil deeds, and was once prosperous, was almost destroyed.

The remaining evil cultivators will be wanted and hunted.

And the main force that destroyed Hei Shan Cun was precisely the Dao Soldiers of the Dao Court.

As Zhang Lan said, the Dao Soldiers are indeed powerful.

Mo Hua did not see it with his own eyes, but afterwards he asked his father, Mo Shan, about it.

According to him, during the battle, the Dao Soldiers' long spears were invincible.

Under the spears, almost no evil cultivator could withstand a single exchange; in a short moment of confrontation, the evil cultivators were either severely injured or died.

The Dao Soldiers are the sharp blade that maintains the Dao Court's power, symbolizing the strength and dignity of the Dao Court.

With Dao Soldiers under their command so powerful, no wonder the Dao Court can unify the cultivation world and stand for twenty thousand years without falling.

This is still only the first-grade Dao Soldiers at the Qi Refining stage.

Dao Soldiers above the first-grade are probably even more terrifying...

A sigh arose in Mo Hua's heart.

However, although Hei Shan Cun was destroyed, there were still many things he hadn't thought through.

Mo Hua looked towards the mountain gate of Hei Shan Cun.

The concealment array of the gate had failed, and the bloody and sinister gate had one pillar broken. The entire Hei Shan Cun had also become dilapidated and unbearable.

Mo Hua did not enter through the gate, but still went around to the nearby high wall.

The first time he entered Hei Shan Cun was from this high wall, where he untied the array, dug a hole in the wall, and then mixed in.

At this time, that small hole in the corner of the wall was still there.

"The evil cultivators didn't discover this place?"

Mo Hua was somewhat surprised. His divine sense was released, and after perceiving through the high wall for a moment, his gaze suddenly focused.

"Not right, they discovered it!"

Behind the wall hole, several new arrays had been added, including a Golden Bell Array, a Wood Binding Array, and several other types of arrays.

The Golden Bell Array is used for warning, the Wood Binding Array is used for trapping people, and the other several arrays also have similar uses.

They discovered this wall hole and wanted to wait for a rabbit!

As long as Mo Hua entered through the hole again, he would trigger the array, alert the evil cultivators, and be trapped in place by the array.

This array must have been set by the third boss.

Mo Hua almost without thinking knew that the third boss had definitely also ordered people to guard nearby, and as soon as the array warned, they would rush over and catch him.

However, they couldn't wait for Mo Hua; Hei Shan Cun just ended...

At this time, there were no evil cultivators in the village, so Mo Hua had no scruples.

He took out his Thousand Jun Rod, made the hole opening a bit bigger, conveniently destroyed the arrays on the opposite side, and then walked into Hei Shan Cun again from the wall hole.

At this time, Hei Shan Cun was still bloody, but with some added deathly stillness and desolation, and it was not so oppressive.

Mo Hua spent some time, following the route in his memory, and roughly toured the front village once.

Most of the houses had already collapsed, and the things inside had been cleared and uniformly handed over to the Dao Court.

The village's prison was empty and deserted.

The cultivators who were abducted and imprisoned here were all killed by the evil cultivators without exception.

Perhaps it was before the battle that the evil cultivators had already killed the people; perhaps during the standoff, the evil cultivators killed them to supplement their blood qi spiritual power; or perhaps at the time of defeat, the evil cultivators massacred them to vent their anger.

In any case, not a single living person was left.

The Dao Court Division and the Dao Soldier Division have already collected these corpses, sealed them in coffins, and brought them back to the Dao Court Division to try to verify their identities and give their families an account.

If they are unable to verify their identities, they will find a place nearby to bury them, build a simple grave, and erect a nameless stele.

These cultivators encountered misfortune and died miserably.

After death, no one will worship them, no one will miss them, and no one will even know them; their steles won't even have their names.

Mo Hua sighed, feeling somewhat unwell in his heart.

After seeing the front village, Mo Hua then arrived at the back village, looked around, and involuntarily frowned.

The arrays in the back village were densely packed, more than when Mo Hua first came.

Drawing arrays takes time, and in Hei Shan Cun, only the third boss could draw this kind of first-grade array, so these arrays must have been started early.

It was probably not long after he left that the third boss started to arrange them.

But why?

Did they guess something?

Mo Hua sat cross-legged on the high wall of the back village, his gaze looking towards the front village, pondering in his heart.

The front village was too big and not easy to defend, concentrating the arrays in the back village. This way, when the Dao Soldiers attacked, it would also be more laborious.

Mo Hua asked Commander Yang, and indeed, in the three days of attacking Hei Shan Cun, two days were spent on breaking the arrays in the back village.

The evil cultivators did this as if they knew they would be attacked and were not opponents, so they set up arrays in the back village in advance, wanting to fight to the death.

The purpose is to... delay time?

Mo Hua's brows furrowed, "What's the point of delaying time? In the end, aren't they still waiting to die?"

"Could it be delaying the time for refining pills?"

Mo Hua again turned towards the pill room.

The beast gate was mostly destroyed, and the arrays in front were also forcibly broken by people. It seemed that the Dao Soldiers had also attacked inside.

Mo Hua walked into the pill room. Inside the room, the large pillar had collapsed, the ground was cracked, and Foundation Establishment cultivators had fully engaged here.

Large patches of bloodstains were splattered everywhere, don't know if they were human or demon's.

The white bone pill furnace in the center of the room was also damaged. First, it was pierced by a long spear, and then half of the cauldron cover was cut off by someone with a knife, exposing the bone wall inside and the blood-colored evil array on the bone wall.

Inside the furnace was some fishy, stinky, thick dan liquid, which should be the remnant liquid of refining the Human Longevity Pill. Just smelling it made one nauseous.

"How can someone actually eat this kind of thing..."

Mo Hua covered his nose, and couldn't help but curse inwardly.

The pill furnace was destroyed, and the surrounding evil strange herbs that were placed there had also disappeared.

They should have been cleared by the Dao Court Division, and afterwards either handed over to the Dao Court or destroyed on-site, so they would not remain in the world.

After all, these herbs are used for refining human pills, which harm heaven and reason, and are also forbidden objects.

The dan also seemed not to have been refined successfully...

Mo Hua again opened the secret compartment. The secret compartment was empty and deserted, with nothing at all.

The third boss also didn't hide anything here again.

Of course, this is also normal. Having been stolen once, if he put things here again, that third boss would truly become a fool.

Mo Hua looked around the back village again and still discovered several hidden secret rooms, which were used for closed-door cultivation.

And one room was a treasure storage warehouse, which was empty and deserted. It was estimated to be for hiding treasures, but it was also cleared by the Dao Soldier Division.

Besides this, there were no other special places in the back village.

Mo Hua carefully thought over the whole matter.

First, the third boss discovered the wall corner he had dug and the untied array, and became suspicious.

As to what extent he suspected, Mo Hua didn't know.

But Hei Shan Cun did take action.

First, they changed the array in the Fog Forest, setting up more fog arrays, and then strengthened the arrays in the back village.

But this was also of no avail.

The Dao Soldiers attacked. They seemed to delay time, but they didn't delay long. They seemed to hold out for a while, but in the end, they didn't hold out.

Hei Shan Cun was thus, logically, destroyed.

It seems very reasonable, but thinking about it, it feels very discordant.

Mo Hua thought for a long time, and then he thought of where the discord was:

Hei Shan Cun seemed to know they would "die", and must "die", then slightly struggled, then calmly "went to death"...

This battle, rather than saying they exterminated Hei Shan Cun, was more like Hei Shan Cun was "planned" and orderly... exterminated.

As if there was an invisible hand, silently pushing Hei Shan Cun to the knife edge, and then Hei Shan Cun naturally stretched out its neck to be beheaded.

Mo Hua's brows furrowed even tighter. He left the pill room and climbed to a high place, taking in the entire Hei Shan Cun.

Embraced by two mountains, Hei Shan Cun occupies a very large area.

The previous doubts again floated up in his heart:

"Such a large Hei Shan Cun, how exactly was it built?"

The village is huge, and the arrays are numerous. Building it requires massive manpower and resources, and moreover, in such a remote deep mountain place, can it really be built up relying solely on these evil cultivators?

Mo Hua wrinkled his brows.

Behind Hei Shan Cun, perhaps someone was secretly supporting them?

If someone was really secretly supporting them, then it must be forces within Tong Xian City, because Tong Xian City is closest to Great Hei Mountain, and private communication is also the most convenient.

Mo Hua's gaze slightly condensed.

The first thing he thought of was the Qian family.

The Qian family has a deep background and acts without scruples. Doing this kind of thing, Mo Hua is not at all surprised.

But thinking carefully, he again feels something is not right.

At least so far, on the surface, the two sides have fundamentally no intersection.

The Qian family did not collude with Hei Shan Cun, and there are no Qian family cultivators inside Hei Shan Cun.

If he just disliked the Qian family because he had grievances with them and put this account on the Qian family's head, it would inevitably be somewhat biased.

But if not the Qian family, then who?

Besides the Qian family, in Tong Xian City, there are still relatively large forces like the An family and the Tong Xian Sect.

But supporting Hei Shan Cun seems to have no benefits for them.

Moreover, with their strength, they may not necessarily be able to support it.

The An family is suppressed everywhere by the Qian family and can only rely on operating food halls to stand. If they truly raised such a large village of evil cultivators, they would have long since taken revenge on the Qian family and regained face.

The Tong Xian Sect is even more needless to say. They couldn't even redeem their own Tong Xian Peak back. How could they possibly paste spirit stones to support evil cultivators?

Mo Hua involuntarily scratched his head, and for a time couldn't think clearly.
