Chapter 907: Pushing Hands

Just as Mo Hua was forging the magnetic pattern sequence, unbeknownst to anyone, a secret intrusion was simultaneously made into the underlying Yuan Magnetic Complex Array of the Demon Sect.

In the Demon Sect, within a secret chamber before a vast blood pool, two Golden Core demon heads were engaged in a secret discussion.

One, wearing a black robe, with a slender body and sharp eyes, and a third-grade Four Symbols "Dog Pattern" tattooed on his right arm, a Golden Core demon cultivator, respectfully reported to the burly figure sitting above, who was like a demonic mountain, the Demon Sect leader:

"Big brother, the investigation is complete..."

"The person who sent the message, by what means we don't know, erased the magnetic pattern and covered their name, and left no trace afterward."

"But since they could send a message, they must have a Demon Sect token in hand."

"All of the Demon Sect's tokens are confidential, and the Yuan Magnetic Array is also sealed, so it's impossible for outsiders to have them."

"However, in the past few days, we were pursued and killed by the Dao Court Division, and lost some manpower, along with some sect tokens."

"These sect tokens presumably fell into the hands of the Dao Court Division or other individuals."

"Therefore, I ordered people to inventory the sect tokens. All lost tokens have been destroyed."

"Repairing the fold after losing the sheep is not too late. Although the person who sent the message hasn't been found for now, the hidden dangers in this regard should all be eliminated, except..."

The Golden Core demon head with the Dog Pattern frowned and said, "This matter is probably not that simple..."

The Demon Sect leader's scarlet eyes coldly looked at him, signaling him to continue.

The Dog Pattern demon head lowered his voice:

"Most of the lost tokens belonged to ordinary disciples, the highest being only at the transmission or blood kin level. By reason, these lower-end tokens are far from being capable of stealing Demon Sect secrets or transmitting messages anonymously..."

"Therefore, it can be deduced that the person who sent the message is certainly lurking within our Demon Sect, even if not a Golden Core, then at least a Foundation Establishment peak, and their status is not low, quite favored."

"And this person is very likely a true insider planted in our Demon Sect by the Dao Court Division!"

The Dog Pattern demon head pondered for a moment and then added:

"I also investigated the encirclement from a few days ago. The Dao Court Division did not set an ambush; they simply fell into our trap."

"If we had acted at that time, it would have been enough to swallow that entire group of running dogs from the Dao Court Division!"

"The 'insider' must have also learned of this message, but they knew too late and didn't have time to tip us off, thus not hesitating to risk exposing their identity to send that self-exposing message to all the demon cultivators participating in the action."

"Otherwise, during the blood banquet a few days ago, not a single cultivator from the Dao Court Division would have survived!"

The Demon Sect leader's eyes revealed anger, and his ferocious palm, covered in flesh, slammed down, smashing the nearby stone table to pieces.

The Dog Pattern demon head's heart skipped a beat. After thinking for a moment, he continued, "But on the other hand, this is also a good thing..."

The Demon Sect leader turned his head to look at him.

The Dog Pattern demon head's eyes revealed a sharp light and he continued, "If not for this, we fundamentally wouldn't know that there is actually such an 'insider' still hidden within the Demon Sect, and hidden so deeply, it's astonishing!"

"He saved the running dogs of the Dao Court Division, but he also exposed himself!"

The Demon Sect leader's eyes slightly narrowed, his voice hoarse, like a beast:

"Do not spread this matter. Investigate secretly. If I find out who this insider is, I will dismember them into ten thousand pieces and swallow their bones and flesh into my abdomen."

"Yes," the Dog Pattern demon head cupped his hands and said.

The Demon Sect leader was about to say something else, when his face suddenly changed, his entire body surged with demon qi, and his breath became violent. Around him, faint, majestic roars could be heard, as if wild beasts were about to devour people.

The Dog Pattern Golden Core demon head immediately showed fear in his eyes and immediately cupped his hands and said:

"Big brother, I won't disturb you..."

The Demon Sect leader suppressed his bloodthirsty desires, and low roars came from his throat, unable to speak human words.

The Dog Pattern demon head no longer hesitated, immediately retreated and left, sealing the door.

After that, the stone chamber was empty. The Demon Sect leader finally couldn't suppress it. His body, covered in a black demon robe, shattered inch by inch, revealing a deformed and twisted physical body.

Like a flesh demon beast, he stepped into the blood pool.

Deep red blood soaked his entire body.

His flesh also seemed to come alive, wriggling irregularly, greedily absorbing the blood in the blood pool.

As he absorbed more blood, cyan-black patterns gradually emerged on his back.

The patterns were shaped like long snakes, with scaled bodies, eagle-like claws, long horns, and whiskers, majestic to the extreme.

This was a dragon.

The Four Symbols blood-colored Azure Dragon.

And this Azure Dragon Four Symbols Array, soaked in blood, tattooed on the back of this Demon Sect leader, seemed to have fused with his physical body, constantly expanding the Demon Sect leader's flesh, filling his meridians and bones with terrifying power...

Tai Xu Gate.

In the following days, Mo Hua, as usual, as long as he had free time, would borrow the Thunder Magnetic Little Man, penetrate the Demon Sect token, and steal intelligence from it.

He had now researched a method for forging magnetic pattern sequences, and through the Demon Sect token's "borrowing a corpse to return a soul," he had penetrated into the underlying Yuan Magnetic System of the Demon Sect with a non-existent identity, just like a non-existent "ghost" floating in the Demon Sect's message sea.

As he became more proficient in mastering the Thunder Magnetic Little Man, his understanding of the principles of Thunder Magnetic deepened, and his knowledge of Yuan Magnetic became more comprehensive.

In the Yuan Magnetic Sea, he was also more at ease.

He also spied more intelligence.

Any useful intelligence he stole, Mo Hua recorded separately and gathered in a jade slip.

Knowing yourself and knowing your enemy means a hundred battles without defeat.

This intelligence was his "chips" used for strategy.

But having only intelligence was not enough.

For things like strategy, one cannot only have intelligence; someone is always needed to push and implement it, otherwise it's just pure "armchair strategizing."

But he was sitting in Tai Xu Mountain, busy every day, fundamentally unable to free himself or take action personally.

Even if he took action personally, he was a Foundation Establishment facing Golden Cores and would be powerless.

"No 'chess pieces'..."

Mo Hua frowned and muttered.

He had been pondering this matter for several days.

Until this day off, Mo Hua was fiddling with the Thunder Magnetic Little Man when his transmission order suddenly vibrated, transmitting a message.

The message was from Gu Changhuai, saying he wanted to invite him to eat good food.

Mo Hua was somewhat surprised, thought for a moment, and then happily went to the banquet.

Eating without being positive definitely means there's a problem with one's brain.

Moreover, when Uncle Gu hosts a guest, it's definitely a big meal.

Mo Hua then replied, "Good!"

He fiddled with the Thunder Magnetic Little Man for a while in the morning and studied arrays for a bit. Around noon, Mo Hua's belly felt a bit hungry, so he packed up his things, got up, and went to Tai Xu City.

Gu Changhuai knew Mo Hua was cultivating and, for his convenience, didn't have him run far. He chose the largest dining building in the nearby Tai Xu City for the banquet.

The dining building was simply called Tai Xu Dining Pavilion.

The pavilion was grand and atmospheric, with an ancient style and fragrance, and was skilled in cooking various ancient recipes.

Gu Changhuai was wealthy and generous, ordering a full table of dishes.

When Mo Hua arrived, he found Xia Dian Si was also there.

He looked at Xia Dian Si, then at Gu Changhuai, and asked in confusion, "Uncle Gu, Sister Xia, are you two inviting me? Is there a happy occasion?"

Xia Dian Si paused.

Gu Changhuai said in a bad mood, "What are you thinking? Just eat."

"Oh," Mo Hua nodded.

During the banquet, Gu Changhuai and Xia Dian Si used their chopsticks very little. Most of the time, they were watching Mo Hua eat.

Mo Hua was not polite and ate heartily.

The food at Tai Xu Gate was not bad, but it was for disciples and wasn't overly extravagant.

One spirit stone was worth one item, so it was definitely not as good as a specialized dining building.

Moreover, this was an invitation from others, so Mo Hua ate with particular relish.

After eating for a while, Mo Hua's cheeks were bulging. He suddenly thought of something and asked Gu Changhuai:

"Uncle Gu, you invited me to eat, is there something you want to talk about?"

Gu Changhuai hesitated for a moment, not knowing how to begin. Xia Dian Si, on the other hand, hesitated for a moment and then asked:

"Mo Hua, the message from the transmission order, was it sent by you?"

She didn't say what message it was, but everyone knew in their hearts.

Mo Hua said frankly, "It was me who sent it."

Xia Dian Si and Gu Changhuai were both stunned for a moment.

After a moment, Xia Dian Si frowned and asked, "How did you know about the Demon Sect's matter..."

Mo Hua was still very frank: "I cannot say."

"Then the Demon Sect later withdrew..."

Mo Hua still didn't say anything, just shook his head.

Gu Changhuai and Xia Dian Si couldn't help but look at each other.

Mo Hua didn't say it explicitly, but they probably had a rough idea in their hearts. At the same time, both still felt it was very inconceivable.

They fundamentally couldn't understand how Mo Hua knew about the Demon Sect's plan.

And exactly what means he used to confuse their vision, "command" the Demon Sect, and resolve this killing trap...

But some secrets, if Mo Hua didn't say them, they also couldn't ask too much.

No matter how you looked at it, this counted as Mo Hua saving their lives.

Xia Dian Si raised her wine cup, her appearance dignified and beautiful, and solemnly said, "Great kindness needs no thanks, Mo Hua, I'll toast you."

Gu Changhuai also silently raised his wine cup without a word.

Some things he didn't say aloud, but he would still silently remember them in his heart.

Mo Hua smiled: "We're all so familiar, there's no need to be polite." But he still raised his wine cup and clinked it with Gu Changhuai's, counting as accepting this favor.

Mo Hua was not a pretentious person either. He did good deeds, and others were grateful to him, so he was also very happy.

After drinking the wine, Mo Hua thought for a moment, a thought stirring in his heart, and then he quietly said, "Uncle Gu, Sister Xia, do you want to deal with that Demon Sect?"

Gu Changhuai and the other two were startled upon hearing this.

Xia Dian Si nodded: "This is natural. It is the duty of the Dao Court Division to eradicate that group of demon cultivators!"

"This is good..." Mo Hua whispered, "We're all so familiar, I won't hide anything from you. I indeed have ways and channels to get intelligence from the Demon Sect. The source cannot be revealed, but it's probably reliable..."

After all, he truly dug up the intelligence from "within" the Demon Sect.

Even most Demon Sect disciples didn't know as much as he did.

Mo Hua "incited": "Sister Xia, if you and Uncle Gu can keep it a secret and not expose me, I will give you the intelligence. This way, you can eradicate the Demon Sect, exterminate the demon cultivators, and remove harm from Qian Xue State."

Xia Dian Si was somewhat tempted, but also a little puzzled, and then asked Mo Hua: "But this way, what do you get?"

Mo Hua righteously said:

"Evil demons and heretics, everyone has a duty to punish them!"

"I am a disciple of Tai Xu Gate, a successor of the dignified Eight Great Gates. I ought to uphold the sect's teachings, be full of righteousness, eliminate demons and guard the way, and seek no return!"

Xia Dian Si was shaken by Mo Hua's righteous face.

She hadn't expected Mo Hua, with his clear and handsome face, kind and lovely appearance, to have such resolute backbone, righteousness, and hate evil as his enemy.

Truly, one cannot judge a person by their appearance...

Only Gu Changhuai on the side silently sighed.

Xia Dian Si, infected by Mo Hua, said with firm gaze:

"Good. You provide the intelligence, and we will be responsible for killing the demon cultivators. We must thoroughly eradicate this Demon Sect that sucks human blood and brings disaster to the region!"

Mo Hua couldn't help but nod.

Subsequently, he thought of something again and pretended to be troubled: "But, there is a problem..."

Xia Dian Si said, "What problem?"

Mo Hua said, "Sister Xia, do you still remember last time when the demon cultivator self-detonated his Golden Core and Uncle Gu was heavily injured?"

Xia Dian Si nodded.

"Uncle Gu's injury was actually not fatal in terms of flesh wounds. What was most fatal were the 'evil spirits' parasitizing this group of demon cultivators."

"Evil spirits..."

Xia Dian Si's expression was grave.

The Xia family was located in Dao State, and their family learning was profound, not without records of "evil spirits," but records were, after all, just records.

In Dao State, especially within big families, evil spirits rarely appeared.

These children of great families grew up under their family's protection and rarely encountered such evil matters.

She still had little experience with matters concerning evil spirits.

In fact, not only Xia Dian Si, but Gu Changhuai was also the same.

Qian Xue State was peaceful before. Evil spirits lurked, but rarely caused trouble.

Only recently, because the evil god's plot was approaching, demons were stirring, and there was also Mo Hua, this "troublemaker," causing trouble and chaos. Therefore, evil anomalies were frequent, giving rise to various abnormalities.

Even if Gu Changhuai didn't believe it before, having personally experienced the feeling of evil spirits entering his brain, he had to believe it.

"Evil spirits... how should we deal with them?" Xia Dian Si asked Mo Hua.

She knew that when Gu Changhuai encountered evil, it was Mo Hua who took action to solve it.

On the surface, Mo Hua was just a small disciple of the Foundation Establishment realm sect, with poor cultivation. However, his own cultivation attainments, especially in arrays, and in some strange matters, were profound and immeasurable.

Mo Hua pretended to think for a while, then said, "I've thought of a method that we can try..."

"These Golden Core demon cultivators, once caught, must be killed immediately. Otherwise, if they release evil spirits and pollute others' divine sense, it will be big trouble."

"But killing them also cannot be done casually... because once a Golden Core demon cultivator dies, the evil spirits will leave their bodies without parasitic flesh and seek other flesh to parasitize. If other cultivators are hit, they will become 'puppets' of the evil spirits, like Uncle Gu did last time."

Gu Changhuai's eyelids twitched when he heard this, obviously not wanting to recall the matter.

Xia Dian Si also shuddered in her heart.

"Then..."

Mo Hua took out a yellowed ancient map that was some years old and said solemnly:

"This map is a divine path treasure given to me by a senior. It can seal evil spirits."

"When you encounter a Golden Core demon cultivator, first, while they are unprepared, break their limbs to make them unable to resist. Then, use this map, cover their head, especially their sea of consciousness, and then kill them."

"This way, when the Golden Core demon cultivator dies, the evil spirits will leave their bodies and drill into this treasure map, to be sealed by the treasure map."

"But this map is quite evil in itself, so you must absolutely not open it casually, and even less look at it with your eyes..."

Because the things inside this map might be more terrifying than "evil spirits."

Mo Hua silently said in his heart.

This map was obtained by him in Li State, South Yue City, during the chaos of encountering the Corpse King, from the hands of Zhang Quan, who was from the Corpse Refining Family.

This is a visualization map, an ancestral map of the Zhang family, also providing "corpse spirits" for the Zhang family ancestors.

Later, the Zhang family ancestors were all gone, completely eaten by Mo Hua. Mo Hua then used this map to contain the Five Elements Source Patterns of the Five Elements Sect.

Therefore, the karma of this map is actually very large.

Unless absolutely necessary, Mo Hua didn't want to use it too much.

But he had no choice. The only thing that could temporarily "seal" divine remains, he thought about it, was this map.

Reluctant to part with a child means you cannot catch a wolf. At present, the matter of the Demon Sect is still important.

Xia Dian Si solemnly took the map, her fingers stroking it. She could then detect the antiquity of the map and the faint ancient aura emanating from the center of the map that made people's hearts palpitate slightly. She immediately felt a sinking feeling, knowing that this map was absolutely extraordinary.

And Mo Hua being able to lend this map to them also fully showed Mo Hua's broad and open heart, full of justice, and his firm resolve to eliminate demons and guard the way.

Xia Dian Si asked again, "Using this map to seal the evil spirits, then what?"

"Then, just give this map to me," Mo Hua said.

"Give it to you..." Xia Dian Si frowned, worried: "If the evil spirits are sealed in the map and given to you, isn't it very dangerous?"

"It doesn't matter, I can eat..."

Xia Dian Si was stunned, "Eat?"

"I mean," Mo Hua said seriously, "I... can deal with them sooner or later."

Xia Dian Si looked at Mo Hua, half-believing.

Mo Hua said, "I have the old ancestor protecting me in Tai Xu Mountain. As long as I burn incense and bathe, set up an altar, I can 'purify' the evil spirits, no problem..."

Xia Dian Si nodded.

The name of the old ancestor of Tai Xu Mountain was too great, so for a while, she didn't suspect anything.

Thus, everything was arranged.

Mo Hua provided intelligence, the Dao Court Division was responsible for taking action, killing the Golden Core demon heads, and after sealing the evil spirits, they would give the map with the sealed evil spirits to him.

Everything was clearly arranged.

Before parting, Mo Hua specifically admonished them again:

"Uncle Gu, Sister Xia, you must keep it a secret. You absolutely cannot expose me."

"Also, the matter of this map must also be kept secret. You cannot let anyone know. And you absolutely, absolutely, must not open it to look..."

Mo Hua's expression was serious.

Gu Changhuai and Xia Dian Si also understood the pros and cons involved and nodded with solemn expressions.

They ate and drank their fill, and the discussion was finished.

After returning to Tai Xu Gate, Mo Hua began to select his "prey."

He needed an "unlucky guy" to verify the feasibility of his plan and see if this process could go through.

Mo Hua lurked in the Yuan Magnetic Sea of the Demon Sect, "listening to the wind and catching shadows," eavesdropping on messages.

Two days later, he finally found clues.

A Golden Core demon head, at the initial stage realm, ranked seventh among the Demon Sect Golden Cores. His original name was unknown, and according to his rank, he was called "Crane Old Seven."

This Crane Old Seven was a lecherous person, whose cultivation method was mainly blood skills, supplemented by dual cultivation.

Moreover, his actions were extremely immoral. He liked to take married men as disciples, teach them Blood Lotus Skill, and then would go to dual cultivate with these disciples' wives and suck their blood, even having three people in the same bed, dual cultivating while sucking blood.

This fetish of his was somewhat difficult to understand.

In any case, Mo Hua didn't understand it.

But this kind of lecher was relatively easy to target and relatively easy to kill.

Mo Hua dug up the information on this "Crane Old Seven," including his daily whereabouts, summarized it, and sent it to Gu Changhuai.

Because this "Crane Old Seven" was considered somewhat perverted even within the Demon Sect, many people talked about him, and there was also a lot of related information. The information was then relatively detailed, and summarizing it was not so laborious.

Mo Hua collected the intelligence, arranged the plan, and transmitted the intelligence to Uncle Gu through the transmission order.

After that, he then went about his routine within Tai Xu Gate, attending classes when he should, cultivating when he should, practicing sword when he should, and drawing arrays when he should, no different from other sect disciples.

Meanwhile, the plan to hunt the Demon Sect Golden Core "Crane Old Seven" had already begun to be pushed forward.

The Dao Court Division mobilized manpower, arranged traps, and set up ambushes.

The hunting plan was in full swing, advancing step by step...

And in this matter, except for Gu Changhuai and Xia Dian Si, almost no one knew that Mo Hua, who was sitting alone on the mountain, cultivating and attending classes, without stepping out, was the true "pusher" behind the scenes...
