Chapter 979: Change Fate

Afterwards, Mo Hua went empty-handed to a small garden next to the disciple dormitory and looked at the big white dog.

The big white dog was sleeping.

Mo Hua walked up to it, and it suddenly woke up, jumped up, saw it was Mo Hua, stuck out its tongue, and wanted to lie back down again.

But before it lay down, the big white dog slowly stood up again, its large eyes staring at Mo Hua, looking him up and down, and also sniffing Mo Hua's body.

Then it seemed to understand something, immediately shivered, its white fur stood on end, and it stared at Mo Hua, completely frozen.

It seemed Mo Hua had become stronger now, excessively strong.

A tragically thick barrier already separated it and Mo Hua.

The big white dog stood in the wind like a clay sculpture.

Mo Hua found it amusing, took out a bone, and threw it to the big white dog.

Just a bone.

The big white dog coldly snorted, initially somewhat unwilling, but after a moment, it sniffed the bone, and that strong demonic evil scent made its eyes light up immediately, and saliva dripped down.

This bone was specially made by Mo Hua.

Inside, he used a divine path array to seal a part of the demonic evil that he had intercepted from the Evil Fetus Nightmare after occupying the Evil God's throne.

Mo Hua had previously promised to bring "delicious things" for the big white dog, so he took the opportunity to leave some demonic evil for it to chew on.

The big white dog gnawed on the bone, sucking on the demonic evil, its tail wagging non-stop, its mental barrier gradually disappeared, and it once again regarded Mo Hua as a "good friend".

Mo Hua stroked the white fur on its neck.

The big white dog then rubbed Mo Hua with its large head.

Inside the garden, the Taixu Sect Master held a book, staring blankly at the scene, feeling more and more unbelievable the more he looked.

After feeding the big white dog, Mo Hua returned with a satisfied heart.

One day later was the ten-day break.

Mo Hua then went to the Dao Court Department according to his plan and visited the Yu Hua Realm Xia Supervisor.

Supervisor Xia came from the Xia family, he was a supervisor in the central Dao Court Department, his status and power were both very high, and he was usually very busy, not someone ordinary people had the qualification to see.

But upon hearing Mo Hua had come, he still canceled some family and sect invitations and personally met with Mo Hua.

"Supervisor Xia, good day." Mo Hua's attitude was very respectful.

"Good," Supervisor Xia was very satisfied, he extended his hand and motioned, "Little brother, sit."

Next to him was a table and a chair, and on the table, there was also a cup of brewed tea.

The style of the table and chair was very ordinary, and the tea flavor was light.

But this was the table and chair in Supervisor Xia's place.

Even some small and medium-sized family heads or sect masters who came here were not qualified to sit, they had to stand and listen to Supervisor Xia's questions, let alone that cup of tea.

Mo Hua didn't think much about it, he calmly sat down, took a sip of tea, looked around, and silently pondered in his heart:

This Supervisor Xia looks quite honest.

This office is just a bit bigger than Uncle Gu's, the decoration is simple, and the layout is not much different.

Of course, this is in the Dao Court Department, it's hard to say whether he engages in corruption privately.

Mo Hua slowly took another sip of tea.

Supervisor Xia was also silently observing Mo Hua, seeing his composed demeanor, even drinking tea in the Dao Court Department with relish.

In front of himself, a Dao Court supervisor, he was respectful but neither humble nor arrogant, and there was no nervous or uneasy expression, his heart couldn't help but sigh slightly.

As expected of a demonic talent raised by the ancestor himself, at such a young age, he already possessed such presence and demeanor.

Supervisor Xia nodded slightly, also drank a sip of tea, and slowly said, "Little brother has come to me, may I know the reason?"

Mo Hua said straightforwardly, "It is about the Shen family."

Even with Supervisor Xia's deep composure, his gaze slightly narrowed.

He didn't expect Mo Hua to be so direct, without any tact, directly coming to him just to talk about the Shen family matter.

"Supervisor Xia," Mo Hua said in a low voice, "You should already know that I went to the Shen family mine, right?"

Supervisor Xia was silent for a moment and nodded.

The Shen family's huge matter had almost consumed all his attention these past few days.

And with his connections in the Dao Court Department, he naturally knew that all the incidents that day stemmed from two disciples who were hijacked by grave robbers and entered the Shen family's abandoned mine.

Later, people went in one after another, and only then did the conflict erupt.

And these two "hijacked" disciples, one was Shen Qingsheng of the Shen family, and the other was Mo Hua.

It was just that because of Mo Hua's identity, he had always been hesitant to investigate deeply.

Moreover, the Taixu Gate showed no movement on the surface, but in the dark, under the arrangement of Old Master Xun, they had already started to suppress the news about Mo Hua.

Even if he went to check, he would only get a cold shoulder.

Mo Hua also guessed in his heart that in places he didn't know about, Old Master Xun was always silently covering for him.

But this kind of matter could not be hidden forever.

There was no wall that didn't breathe.

Mo Hua also wanted to try to solve the problem himself and try to deal with "big figures" like Supervisor Xia.

"Supervisor Xia, do you want to know exactly what happened at the bottom of the mine?" Mo Hua said quietly.

Supervisor Xia thought for a moment and nodded.

Of course, he wanted to.

He had actually heard some news about the matter on Lonely Mountain.

But this news was all one-sided, fragmented, and vague, not the full picture of the matter, let alone necessarily the truth of the matter.

Deeper matters were even more unknowable.

However, could Mo Hua just tell him so simply?

Supervisor Xia's eyes showed thought, but he didn't expect Mo Hua to just drink a sip of tea, moisten his throat, and then start from the beginning and tell everything.

From the moment he discovered some clues on Lonely Mountain, to later encountering grave robbers, to entering the Shen family tomb, the corpse evil, the sealed coffin of ten thousand corpses, and the gathering of demons, including the Great Wilderness Prince, the commander of the Demon Sect, the second elder of the Demon Sect, the Gold Core late-stage demon cultivator, the young master of Xuan Mo Sect, etc.

And what exactly the Shen family did, the origin of the ten thousand-person pit, the purpose of the tomb, and the restoration of the Great Wilderness royal family...

Except for some secrets that truly involved the Evil God and the divine path of Huang Shan Jun, which were hidden by Mo Hua.

Other facts, Mo Hua told Supervisor Xia one by one.

Even Supervisor Xia, who held a high position and had seen much, was somewhat disbelieving after listening.

The ten thousand-person pit, the karma of killing created by the noble families, the raising of the dragon by the Demon Sect, the rebellion in the Great Wilderness...

The causes and effects within were truly too complex.

The problems were also too serious.

Especially the two matters of "raising the dragon" and "rebellion", these basically crossed the dead line set by the Dao Court.

If it didn't see the light of day, fine, but once exposed, it would be a major issue, perhaps it could truly shake the Dao Court, and at that time, it would inevitably be another bloody storm.

Supervisor Xia was secretly alarmed.

He looked at Mo Hua again, his heart even more surprised.

In such a chaotic situation filled with demons and Gold Core late-stage fights, this boy actually managed to survive intact, and even came to the Dao Court Department to drink tea with a calm heart?

Supervisor Xia frowned.

Among the Xia family's many prodigies, perhaps their aptitude was better than his, their cultivation was better than his, and their ambition was greater than his, but when it came to this ability and determination, perhaps very few could compare to him...

Supervisor Xia was silent for a long time, digesting the information Mo Hua had revealed in his heart.

After a moment, his gaze slightly narrowed, and he slowly said, "Little brother, you are telling me this to... deal with the Shen family?"

Mo Hua asked, "Will you?"

Supervisor Xia said, "Lonely Mountain was bombed by the Shen family by half, everything inside was turned to dust, deeply buried in the ground. Even if there were evidence, it was mostly destroyed. Without evidence, we cannot convict the Shen family."

Although he said so, Mo Hua knew that even if there was evidence, Supervisor Xia wouldn't necessarily take action against the Shen family.

Noble families valued interests.

The Dao Court weighed the situation.

No one would put "fairness" and "justice" in the first place.

Supervisor Xia was also like this.

He was not necessarily a bad person, but equally not necessarily a good person. When dealing with people and matters, he would definitely first weigh the pros and cons to seek the greatest benefit.

If he was useful, he would pull him in, but if one day he became useless, he would definitely sell him out.

The Shen family matter was the same.

If there was really "evidence" in Supervisor Xia's hands, he would definitely first think about utilizing this "evidence" to strive for the greatest benefit for the Xia family and for himself.

Mo Hua also didn't expect Supervisor Xia to really deal with the Shen family.

His purpose was just to hand a "knife" to Supervisor Xia, allowing him to have a "gap" to cut into this fat meat of the Shen family.

Supervisor Xia represented the huge Xia family and the supreme Dao Court, as long as he entered the field, he would definitely give the Shen family immense pressure.

The Shen family definitely would have no time to care about him.

Even if in the end, he and the Shen family "mingled in the muck", that also meant he had cut huge interests from the Shen family.

"Bribing" this Dao Court supervisor would definitely cost an extremely large price.

The Shen family would definitely have to cut off a large piece of meat and bleed heavily.

As long as the Shen family's strength could be weakened, it was a good thing.

The Shen family was a fifth-grade noble family, a giant in the Qian Xue state boundary, and it was naturally impossible for a small Foundation Establishment cultivator like Mo Hua to overthrow it.

Although the matter on Lonely Mountain was exposed, with the Shen family ancestor's plan, the final result might not be as everyone wished.

Therefore, what Mo Hua could do was just try to stir up the situation.

The Shen family would be busy running around and would not pay attention to him.

And once too many interests were eaten away by others, the Shen family's vitality would be injured, and more and more internal contradictions would erupt.

A centipede is dead but not stiff.

The extinction of a noble family is most often not a matter of one morning or evening.

Currently, Mo Hua could only do this much.

As for how much blood the Shen family would shed this time, Mo Hua couldn't say for sure, but he believed in the greed of noble families and the methods of the Dao Court.

Other matters were simply not within his consideration.

Mo Hua truthfully said to Supervisor Xia:

"I don't like the Shen family, but the matter on Lonely Mountain is too big, I still have to focus on cultivation, I can't manage that much, and I don't have the ability to manage."

"Moreover, upholding Dao law and enforcing the law is the duty of the Dao Court Department. I am a small sect disciple, I can only do my own duty and tell the inside story of the Shen family. The matter on Lonely Mountain can only be hosted by you, Supervisor."

Mo Hua spoke righteously and excluded himself.

After the matter, it was the Dao Court's responsibility.

Supervisor Xia looked at Mo Hua deeply, "Only so?"

"Yes," Mo Hua nodded.

"You have no requests?"

Mo Hua thought for a moment and said, "Only one, please don't reveal what I said. Otherwise, if the Shen family knows I leaked the secret to you, they will definitely try every means to make things difficult for me. I just can't cultivate peacefully in the Taixu Gate."

Supervisor Xia nodded seriously, "This is natural, you can rest assured."

Informing matters in the Dao Court Department was strictly protected.

What's more, Mo Hua's identity was special.

If he hadn't told him these matters, it would still be fine, but now that he had personally told him, based on both emotion and reason, the Dao Court Department had to find a way to guard his secret.

Otherwise, they would offend both the Taixu Gate and lose their public trust as "supervisors".

In a sense, this was also Mo Hua "showing goodwill".

It was even more impossible for Supervisor Xia to refuse.

"This matter, heaven knows, earth knows, you know, I know," Supervisor Xia guaranteed.

Mo Hua nodded in relief.

"Right," Mo Hua thought of another matter, "Supervisor, do you know Fan Jin, the Dian Si Fan?"

Supervisor Xia thought slightly, "You mean the Dian Si in Lonely Mountain city?"

"Yes," Mo Hua nodded.

Supervisor Xia's gaze was slightly serious, and he said, "Regarding the matter on Lonely Mountain, I sent people to ask him, he was vague and spoke evasively."

Mo Hua said, "He is afraid of the Shen family's retaliation, so he is being careful. That day, he went down to the Lonely Mountain tomb with me. If there is anything you are not clear about, you can directly go and ask him. If he is afraid of your prestige and dare not tell the truth, just mention my name."

"Mention your name?"

"Yes," Mo Hua nodded, "In the tomb, Dian Si Fan helped me a lot, and we became quite friendly. If you mention my name, he will speak."

This was also Mo Hua giving Dian Si Fan an opportunity.

Dian Si Fan was from a poor background with meager connections, he wanted to progress but always had no opportunity, hitting walls everywhere.

Now that Mo Hua mentioned this in front of Supervisor Xia, it was equivalent to giving him an opportunity to climb up.

As for whether he could seize it, it was up to him.

Supervisor Xia also understood Mo Hua's meaning.

Having a friendship with Mo Hua, and being able to get Mo Hua to speak up and mention him in front of his supervisor, presumably he also had some ability.

"Fan Jin," Supervisor Xia nodded, "Good, I remember..."

Having said everything that needed to be said, Mo Hua finished the tea in the cup, then stood up and bid farewell, saying, "I have disturbed Supervisor, Mo Hua takes his leave."

"Little brother, walk slowly, come again when you have time."

Supervisor Xia's expression was calm.

Mo Hua bowed and then calmly retreated.

After Mo Hua left, Supervisor Xia still sat motionless, frowning deeply, he was thinking not about the Shen family matter, but about Mo Hua:

"Leaving aside everything else, just this demeanor is extraordinary..."

"He also has many thoughts, what is rare is that you can't see it from the outside."

"Pity, his origin and bloodline are too low, he can't cross the threshold of marriage into the Xia family's direct line. The rules of noble families are too strict, otherwise..."

Supervisor Xia sighed slightly.

After bidding farewell to Supervisor Xia, Mo Hua conveniently went to visit Gu Changhuai, ate some snacks, chatted for a while, and only then returned to the Taixu Gate.

Afterwards, Mo Hua closed his door and stayed in, being quiet for a period of time.

After another ten-day break, the matter in Lonely Mountain city temporarily came to an end, including Supervisor Xia's side, everything was settled, only then did Mo Hua leave his room and plan to go to Lonely Mountain city.

Xun Ziyu was still following him.

This was the ancestor's command, from now on, as long as Mo Hua left the sect, he must be followed, and no mishaps were allowed.

This command was fine.

Xun Ziyu had long been accustomed to being Mo Hua's "bodyguard", and for a while, he didn't feel it was unexpected.

But this time, Old Master Xun's attitude was actually more serious and solemn than before, even vaguely having a posture of strictly protecting Mo Hua as the sect's supreme treasure.

Xun Ziyu's heart was somewhat strange.

Was it because of the matter on Lonely Mountain, fearing that Mo Hua would be retaliated against by the Shen family, or was there... another deeper reason?

In the carriage, Xun Ziyu couldn't help but size up Mo Hua.

As he looked, he felt that Mo Hua seemed somewhat different from before, a vague layer of mist seemed to cover him, making him even more incomprehensible.

"What other means has the ancestor arranged?"

Xun Ziyu shook his head and sighed in his heart, "Even his own grandson doesn't get this kind of treatment..."

He put away his thoughts and no longer thought about it, instead releasing his divine sense to guard against possible dangers on the road.

The journey was bumpy and hurried, and they arrived at Lonely Mountain city.

After more than half a month, Lonely Mountain city was much quieter now.

Because of the previous turmoil, various noble families and sect Gold Core cultivators mixed together and caused a great commotion, although it didn't injure the cultivators in this city, it still alarmed the people of Lonely Mountain city.

Most cultivators had closed their doors and did not go out.

The streets were more desolate, and there were fewer cultivators coming and going.

And in the distance, Lonely Mountain had collapsed by half, compared to Lonely Mountain city, it was now more like "Half Mountain city".

This was the Shen family's "masterpiece".

In order to cover up the crime, they burned corpses and filled the tomb, and finally even directly bombed off half of Lonely Mountain, burying everything in the deep mountain bottom.

This was a third-grade state boundary, and the many mountain stones and geology inside Lonely Mountain were also third-grade, extremely hard and difficult to excavate.

Once buried, it was almost impossible to see the light of day again.

Including the deepest Evil Fetus Shrine in Lonely Mountain.

Mo Hua silently looked at the collapsed half of Lonely Mountain.

Even now, when he thought of that shrine, he would still have a vague sense of strangeness.

He always felt that he seemed to have brushed past something...

Now that the shrine had sunk, he had no way to investigate deeply.

Mo Hua withdrew his gaze and no longer thought about it.

The carriage entered the city and went smoothly along the street, there were few foreign cultivators.

There were no longer shadows of various noble families and sect cultivators in the city, including the Shen family.

The Shen family's occupation right in Lonely Mountain city was revoked by the Dao Court Department.

This was the result of Supervisor Xia's operation, using the authority of the Dao Court Department, they forcibly expelled all the Shen family cultivators from Lonely Mountain city and issued a ban, prohibiting them from entering Lonely Mountain city again.

Although the Shen family covered up the evidence, bombing half of Lonely Mountain was a major fault that the Dao Court Department could hold them accountable for.

In addition, everyone knew what exactly happened on Lonely Mountain, they were not fools, and they all had their guesses in their hearts.

The Shen family, self-aware of their guilt, did not dare to make too much of a fuss in this regard.

And as soon as the Shen family left, the various noble families who wanted to bite off a piece of meat from the Shen family naturally also retreated.

No one cared about this Lonely Mountain city, whose value had been squeezed dry, which was poor and remote, and had nothing.

Now, Lonely Mountain city was truly "cleaned" up.

Mo Hua sat in the carriage, and along the street, he arrived at Master Gu's refining tool shop.

Master Gu was already waiting at the door early, saw Mo Hua, immediately cupped his hands and bowed, gratefully saying, "Thank you, Young Master Mo."

"Master Gu, no need to be polite," Mo Hua smiled gently, "Is everything prepared?"

"Following Young Master's instructions, and with the agreement of the Gu family and the approval of Madam Wan, all the spirit machines have been transported, and the manpower has also been arranged properly."

"Good, then let's begin..."

Mo Hua nodded, his eyes bright.

He wanted to give the loose cultivators of Lonely Mountain city a fundamental foothold.

With twenty patterns of divine sense, a second-grade or above array master, his attainments in array formations were deep.

Relying on his own ability, Mo Hua could already do many things.

He still remembered, initially in Tongxian City, he stood under the lights of ten thousand households and established his Dao heart:

In this life, he would cultivate diligently, comprehend array formations, use array formations that connect heaven and earth to seek longevity, and defy heaven to change fate.

Both change his own fate and also change the fate of all low-level cultivators under heaven...

Now, Mo Hua was no longer that novice child who had just left the village, he knew that the world of nine states was very big, and this grand aspiration was also too difficult, too difficult.

But a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.

Grand matters must start from small matters.

Now, he had entered the Taixu Gate and became the leader of the array Dao, forming a core with his divine thought.

His own fate lattice was already being rewritten little by little.

Within the range of his ability, he also wanted to change the fate of these poor cultivators.

First change the fate of one person, then change the fate of one city.

Gathering sand into a tower, gathering water into a river.

One day, when his merit joined creation and his array formations connected heaven, he could change the great situation and heavenly machine of these nine states, and change the fate lattice of the common people in this world.

With this, he would prove his Dao heart.

Seek true longevity.
