Chapter 631: The Flower Gentleman

This title, fierce and restrained, as if soaked in firelight and bloodlight, gave Mo Hua a feeling completely different from the titles of other evil cultivators on the list.

It was as if compared to other evil cultivators, this one was on a whole different level of "bad."

Mo Hua frowned.

"What kind of person is Jiang Laoda exactly..."

"Where did this list of his come from?"

"These various evil cultivators are characters that completely don't seem like someone he, a Foundation Building early stage 'human trafficker', could contact..."

"Let alone, this one who is clearly extraordinary, 'Huo Fo'..."

Such a list was actually hidden in Jiang Laoda's diary.

Mo Hua always felt something was off...

"Perhaps, this list doesn't belong to Jiang Laoda?"

"But if it's not Jiang Laoda's, whose could it be? And how would it be hidden in Jiang Laoda's diary?"

Mo Hua thought for a while, but found no clue, so he temporarily put this doubt aside and continued to ponder the matter of "Huo Fo"...

Huo Fo...

Currently, all I know is a title.

What is Huo Fo's origin, what is his realm, how old is he, what technique does he cultivate?

The 'forbidden technique' that has reference value for the 'fireball fusion' technique that he carries, what exactly is it?

Also, his position on the "list" is clearly very special.

If the evil cultivators on the list are an organization.

Then this Huo Fo is at least a "leader".

And not an ordinary leader.

Then he, perhaps, still has many "little brothers"...

Where is he now?

Mo Hua was full of doubts, but he had no clues at all right now, so he thought of finding someone to inquire.

But within the sect, he had already taken the time to ask Murong Shijie, Xu Shixiong, Feng Shixiong from Tai'a Men, and Qianqian Shijie from Baihua Valley.

Even some Shixiong and Shijie who were occasionally doing temporary tasks, he also asked, but no one had ever heard of the title "Huo Fo."

This Huo Fo was as if he didn't exist.

Or perhaps, it was related to tasks that Dao Ting Si had never released.

Since that was the case, the only way was to go to Dao Ting Si to inquire.

In the entire Qian Xue State Dao Ting Si, Mo Hua's only "acquaintance" was Gu Changhuai Gu Uncle...

Mo Hua made up his mind. After the ten-day rest, he entrusted Murong Shijie to take on more Dao Ting Si tasks.

Murong Caiyun didn't understand why, but because it was Mo Hua's request, she still agreed.

When she went to Dao Ting Si to inquire and apply to view the archives, Mo Hua also followed her to Dao Ting Si to wander around and see if he could "accidentally meet" Gu Uncle.

But Gu Changhuai was a Dian Si, a busy person. Mo Hua went three times in total, and he wasn't there. Only on the fourth time did he encounter him.

Gu Changhuai seemed to have just come in from outside. There was a look of fatigue on his handsome face, but he still held his head slightly high, his gaze arrogant, like a proud "peacock."

But soon this "arrogance" of his turned into "shock."

Because he saw a joyful face, a bright-eyed Mo Hua.

It was like being stared at by an ill-intentioned little fox...

Gu Changhuai's heart "thumped," and he felt something was not good.

Mo Hua smiled with squinted eyes, his voice clear and crisp, and with a face full of enthusiasm, he waved and greeted:

"Gu Uncle, what a coincidence!"

Gu Changhuai's forehead twitched.

He didn't think this was really a "coincidence."

Perhaps it was Mo Hua, this little brat full of bad ideas, who had been waiting here for him.

Gu Changhuai said expressionlessly, "You came to do tasks again?"

"En." Mo Hua said, "It mainly depends on Murong Shijie and them. I just help a little and tag along to gain experience..."

Mo Hua spoke very humbly.

Gu Changhuai snorted.

You're just bragging.

That's your Shijie, not your real sister. Without reason, would she bring you to tag along?

Sect merits are very important, and sect tasks are also very serious.

You are completely useless. Even real brothers might not bring you...

Let alone disciples from big families like the Murong family and Ouyang family, who may seem gentle and polite on the surface, but are more or less conceited in their hearts.

If you have no ability, will others play with you?

Not even if you're cute!

Just...

Gu Changhuai stared at Mo Hua for a few more glances, feeling puzzled in his heart.

What use could this little thing have?

His spiritual root and physical body are not good, his spiritual power is weak, and he is still only at the Foundation Building early stage. He completely looks like a "little burden"...

He is following to do tasks, what can he help with?

Gu Changhuai didn't understand, shook his head, and asked lightly, "This time, what task are you following to 'gain experience'?"

Mo Hua said, "Catching a flower thief!"

"What realm?"

"Only Foundation Building mid stage."

Gu Changhuai was speechless.

Still only Foundation Building mid stage...

Aren't you yourself also only Foundation Building early stage? You have such a big tone. You say catching a Foundation Building mid stage flower thief like catching a chick...

Gu Changhuai thought of his cousin's instructions and said helplessly:

"You don't need my help, do you..."

Mo Hua was somewhat surprised.

Gu Uncle was actually so enthusiastic?

He had thought before that Gu Uncle had some reservations about him, so he would be a bit petty and wouldn't easily help him.

He didn't expect that he was the one being petty.

Gu Uncle was actually a "cold on the outside, warm on the inside" good person!

Mo Hua was somewhat moved, then said, "Catching a flower thief is a small matter, no need for your help, but..."

Mo Hua smiled shyly, "I have other things I want to ask you about..."

Gu Changhuai's eyelid twitched.

When this child smiles, there's definitely nothing good...

"Speak, what is it..." Gu Changhuai said indifferently.

"Gu Uncle," Mo Hua whispered, "Do you know 'Huo Fo'?"

After Mo Hua finished speaking, he looked up at Gu Changhuai, only to see Gu Changhuai's body stiffen slightly, his body emitting cold air, and even some killing intent in his eyebrows.

He looked at Mo Hua with ice-cold eyes.

"Where did you..."

Gu Changhuai paused, his voice low, with some hoarseness, "...hear this title..."

Mo Hua was startled.

He didn't expect Gu Uncle's reaction to be so big.

This Huo Fo, perhaps, had some old grudge with Gu Uncle?

Jiang Laoda's list absolutely cannot be revealed...

Mo Hua thought for a while, then said semi-truthfully:

"I heard it from an evil cultivator. He said that Huo Fo knows a very powerful fire system technique, and within a hundred miles, no one is his opponent..."

Gu Changhuai's gaze was sharp, looking directly at Mo Hua.

Mo Hua's gaze was like water, deep and unfathomable, his expression as usual, completely calm.

Gu Changhuai frowned and asked, "Which evil cultivator?"

Mo Hua shook his head, "I don't know. I encountered them accidentally and overheard a few sentences. They just left. As a small cultivator, I wouldn't dare to chase them..."

Gu Changhuai obviously didn't believe it, his expression was serious, and he was silent.

Mo Hua observed his words and expression and softly asked, "Gu Uncle, is this Huo Fo very powerful? Do you have a grudge with him?"

Gu Changhuai was startled, seeing Mo Hua full of curiosity. His tone and expression indeed didn't seem like he knew the past events, nor did he seem to have any intersection with Huo Fo. Only then did he slowly relax, but his brows furrowed even tighter.

"This matter is not something you should inquire about."

Gu Changhuai seemed to recall some past events, his mood was very bad, and his tone was also a bit stiff.

Mo Hua then knew that there was definitely a story behind it.

But looking at this, Gu Uncle had scruples in his heart and would definitely not say anything.

Mo Hua didn't force it either. He silently pondered in his heart and decided to find others to ask.

Although Gu Changhuai couldn't see through Mo Hua's thoughts, he saw his appearance full of curiosity and knew that even if he didn't tell him, he would continue to inquire.

Gu Changhuai sighed.

Huo Fo, this person, had too heavy killing karma and was a taboo.

If Mo Hua, this child, really had a suspicious identity and had ulterior motives towards the Guan family and Yu'er, that would be fine.

If he probed into Huo Fo's secrets, he would have bad luck, bump into Huo Fo's hands, and die.

But if he truly just accidentally passed by and saved Yu'er, then he was Yu'er's benefactor.

If he didn't explain clearly and harmed him to death, that would be a sin.

Moreover, he was such a small cultivator, only lived for more than ten years. If he lost his life in vain, it would be really too pitiful.

Gu Changhuai hesitated for a long time, then sighed and said:

"These things, originally I shouldn't tell you..."

"But I'm afraid you don't know the height of heaven and earth, and you'll rashly inquire, get involved, provoke people you shouldn't provoke, and lose your life in vain..."

Mo Hua was very surprised, "This Huo Fo, what kind of person is he exactly?"

Gu Changhuai's gaze slightly condensed, "He is an extremely vicious evil cultivator."

Mo Hua was slightly alarmed in his heart, "Golden Core?"

"Foundation Building late stage."

Mo Hua frowned, "Foundation Building late stage... can't be caught?"

Gu Changhuai sighed, "Huo Fo is by nature cautious, always only operates in second-grade states. His cultivation is profound, and his technique is extremely strong..."

"Dao Ting has besieged him many times..."

"But this beast is cunning and ruthless in his methods. Relying on the power of his technique, he kills greatly. Below Foundation Building, almost no cultivator is his opponent."

"Even mobilizing Golden Core cultivators, under the restriction of the heavenly dao, they cannot use Golden Core life treasures. They can defeat him, but they cannot kill him..."

"Once he escapes, he will disappear without a trace for a period. After the wind passes, he will come out again to kill..."

Mo Hua roughly understood.

The third-grade Golden Core Dian Si of Dao Ting Si didn't have time to catch him. Even if they went to catch him, with the restriction of the heavenly dao, it would be difficult to kill him.

The second-grade Zhi Si who went to catch him would be killed instead...

Mo Hua said, "Is that extremely strong technique of Huo Fo a 'forbidden technique'?"

Gu Changhuai's gaze condensed, but he thought that Mo Hua was a disciple of Tai Xu Men, so he should know a little about "forbidden techniques".

"Correct." Gu Changhuai nodded, "It is a forbidden technique..."

"But the technique he cultivates is an incomplete 'forbidden technique'."

"After cultivating this 'forbidden technique', his blood energy becomes restless due to the fire energy, and his temperament becomes violent and bloodthirsty."

"This killing intent cannot be suppressed..."

"Hence this evil beast... often because of the arising of liver fire evil, he arbitrarily uses 'forbidden techniques', kills greatly, and slaughters innocents to vent his 'killing desire'..."

"Up to now, no one knows exactly how many cultivators have been burned to death by his technique..."

Gu Changhuai's eyes revealed thick killing intent, and his right hand fingers were clenched white.

"This kind of evil beast deserves a thousand cuts and ten thousand slices. Death is not enough to atone for his sins..."

Mo Hua was somewhat stunned.

It was the first time he had seen Gu Uncle look so hateful, with killing intent exposed.

Mo Hua then comforted him, "Gu Uncle, please rest assured. The net of heaven is vast, but none escape. This kind of evil person will definitely die without a burial place!"

Gu Changhuai's face showed a trace of self-mockery.

"The net of heaven is vast, but none escape..."

He was emotional and still wanted to say something, but suddenly his expression changed. Only then did he realize that he had unknowingly said too much to Mo Hua, this little brat...

Some things, fundamentally, he shouldn't have told him!

"Alright, no more talking." Gu Changhuai flicked his sleeve and warned, "I said these to let you understand that Huo Fo is a very dangerous person. You, a small cultivator who hasn't even weaned yet, don't blindly inquire."

Mo Hua was not pleased, "I'm not small. I'm already fifteen!"

Gu Changhuai snorted, "I'm already over a hundred."

Mo Hua was greatly shocked, "Gu Uncle, you're already so old?"

Gu Changhuai was angry to the point of having a toothache. He wished he could pull Mo Hua's ear, "Over a hundred, how is that old? I'm a dignified Golden Core, over a hundred years old is very young!"

"Okay, okay."

Mo Hua appeased him, silently muttering in his heart, "You are over a hundred years old and still consider yourself young, then I'm not still a child..."

Mo Hua thought for a while, then quietly asked about Huo Fo again.

The opportunity was rare. If he didn't ask more now, it would be hard to ask later if Gu Uncle was in a bad mood.

"Gu Uncle, do you know the whereabouts of Huo Fo now?"

Gu Changhuai didn't want to say.

Mo Hua then understood.

"No, huh..."

"Then will Dao Ting Si issue a bounty for Huo Fo to the sects?"

Gu Changhuai still didn't speak.

But Mo Hua saw the answer from his ugly face:

"No."

"Is Huo Fo's bounty very expensive?"

"Seems very expensive..."

"Huo Fo has accomplices, right..."

"Probably, otherwise it would be impossible to escape from Dao Ting Si's encirclement."

"Has Huo Fo disappeared without a trace for a long time?"

"Looks like it..."

Mo Hua stared at Gu Changhuai's face, while observing his words and expression, while asking and answering himself.

Gu Changhuai finally couldn't help it, picked up Mo Hua, and walked towards the outside, "You quickly go back to the sect, cultivate properly, and don't ask about these irrelevant things..."

Mo Hua's two legs were off the ground, and he kicked in the air a few times, but couldn't break free. Then he honestly let Gu Changhuai carry him, but his mouth still said:

"I have to wait for Shijie!"

"I still have tasks!"

"After catching the flower thief, I can go back!"

Gu Changhuai had no choice but to put Mo Hua down in the front hall and instructed:

"You wait here, don't bother me."

"Oh..."

Gu Changhuai turned to leave.

Mo Hua suddenly shouted at him again, "Gu Uncle!"

Gu Changhuai turned back, Mo Hua smiled with squinted eyes and said, "I'll ask one last question, okay..."

Gu Changhuai just wanted to refuse, but thinking of his cousin's instructions, he sighed:

"Ask."

"What does Huo Fo look like?" Mo Hua asked.

Gu Changhuai frowned, "Didn't I say not to let you inquire?"

Mo Hua said, "I'm afraid that in case I meet him, and I know what he looks like, I can escape early."

"How can it be such a coincidence that you meet him?"

"I'm saying in case!"

Mo Hua emphasized, "In case I meet him, don't recognize him, and still foolishly get close to him, what should I do if I'm killed by him?"

Your thinking is really strange...

Gu Changhuai silently complained in his heart.

But for a moment, he actually couldn't find a reason to refute.

To avoid danger, of course, you need to know about the danger in advance, otherwise if you are in danger and don't know it, how can you avoid it?

Gu Changhuai had a headache, and finally could only sigh:

"Tall and big, with a benevolent face, wearing a blood-colored kasaya, with fire-red incense scars on his head, and slightly reddish skin..."

Mo Hua silently memorized it in his heart.

Gu Changhuai turned to leave again. Mo Hua thought of something and shouted at him again.

"Gu Uncle..."

"What now?"

"I'll ask one last question!"

Gu Changhuai's brows furrowed, "Didn't you just say that was the last one?"

"This time it's really the last one!"

Mo Hua affirmed.

Gu Changhuai sighed and said impatiently, "Speak!"

Mo Hua's eyes slightly blinked and he lowered his voice to ask, "Gu Uncle, what is the name of the technique that Huo Fo cultivates?"

Gu Changhuai said alertly, "This cannot be told to you."

"Really, I'll just ask this last one!"

Gu Changhuai showed doubt.

Mo Hua said, "You tell me, and I won't bother you anymore!"

Gu Changhuai raised an eyebrow, "Really?"

"En!"

Mo Hua swore and nodded.

Gu Changhuai shook his head.

Although he didn't believe it, he thought that knowing the name of a technique should be nothing.

That's a forbidden technique.

This little brat absolutely cannot cultivate it, right?

If he really cultivates it, I'll just catch him and throw him into the Dao Prison to confine him!

Gu Changhuai silently said in his heart.

Seeing Mo Hua full of expectation, Gu Changhuai sighed again and slowly said, "The forbidden technique that Huo Fo cultivates is named..."

"Luo Huo Jue!"

Mo Hua was startled, then his two eyes shone brightly.

"Falling" Huo Jue?!

Gu Changhuai looked startled, and suddenly felt some uneasiness in his heart.

This boy...

He wouldn't really not know discretion and be bold enough to want to learn a "forbidden technique", right...

But even if he was bold, he shouldn't put his idea on "Huo Fo"'s head, right...

Gu Changhuai was very uneasy, frowned and instructed:

"This is a forbidden technique. You must not learn it..."

Mo Hua nodded, "Rest assured, Gu Uncle, I won't learn it."

I'll just take it as a reference, refer to it, "copy" a bit of the technique style, I won't "learn" it...

Gu Changhuai didn't know Mo Hua's little thoughts, nodded, and then left.

Mo Hua's heart was satisfied.

These trips were finally not in vain. Gu Uncle indeed knew about Huo Fo.

Forbidden technique!

Luo Huo Jue!

This technique, just hearing it sounds very strong, and "Luo Huo"... it seems to have some origin with the fireball technique.

It's just a pity, I don't know where Huo Fo is exactly.

There's no news from Dao Ting Si either.

It seems I can only plan for the long term...

Mo Hua waited in place for Murong Shijie, and then met up with the late Feng Shixiong and others outside Dao Ting Si. They rode together in a carriage to the second-grade Luan Mountain City to capture the flower thief—Hua Langjun.

Luan Mountain City is north of the second-grade Bi Mountain City.

There are several small families in the city. Several female disciples from these families have recently become pale and thin, and their breaths are weak.

The families only discovered after checking that they had been supplemented.

The one who supplemented them was exactly the flower thief that Dao Ting Si wanted, Hua Langjun.

These several female disciples, coaxed by Hua Langjun's flowery words, willingly became furnaces. After being supplemented, their vitality was greatly injured, but they were still greedy for male beauty and insisted on protecting Hua Langjun, saying:

"He loves me..."

"Even if I'm supplemented, I'm willing..."

"This is a matter between us, you all don't need to care..."

And so on.

These words were what Murong Caiyun heard after inquiring and came back to tell Mo Hua.

Mo Hua's eyes widened.

Some cultivators this year only looked at appearance beauty and ugliness, but couldn't even distinguish right from wrong, good from evil.

Others wanted to eat their flesh, drink their blood, and supplement their vitality, yet they were willing and even enjoyed it...

Fortunately, the Dao Law was still impartial.

Supplementing is a sin.

Hua Langjun lingered between several female disciples in Luan Mountain City, adapting to the circumstances, and managing his time very well.

But because he managed his time too well and arranged it too tightly, after the incident, he didn't even have time to escape, but he didn't know which pleasure quarter or deep mansion he was hiding in.

Rain leaves traces, geese leave sounds.

Since he left traces, don't think about escaping, especially in front of Mo Hua.

Mo Hua swept with his divine sense, carefully observed, derived cause and effect, and quickly discovered Hua Langjun's traces.

The crowd followed the traces all the way and found them... inside the boudoir of the original wife of the family head of the largest second-grade family in Luan Mountain City, the Wang family...
