Chapter 982 -645: Identifying Spirits Drawing Formation_3

”Evil cultivators are just the poisonous fruit, the poisoning only kills one or two people, but the Demon Sect, it is the ‘root’ that spreads the source of the poison

”Whenever a Demon Sect stronghold appears, it indicates that the Demon Sect has ‘rooted’ here, or is about to root

”If a Demon Sect stronghold is allowed to be established and take root, it will become a malignant tumor of the Demon Path, spreading Demon Path Skills, causing endless harm.”

”And trying to remove it is extremely difficult, and the cost is also very great

Gu Changhuai’s gaze was grave.

He had thought before that the ‘Demon’s Cave’ of Fire Buddha was just an exaggerated expression.

But now it seemed that this Demon’s Cave was indeed a large-scale stronghold of the Demon Sect.

Mo Hua said, “From this perspective, is Fire Buddha not only a Sin Cultivator and an Evil Cultivator but also a Demon Cultivator with a ‘legacy’?”

Gu Changhuai’s gaze was icy, and he nodded slightly,

”Presumably so

Mo Hua frowned, “I didn’t realize that

Gu Changhuai’s gaze was somewhat meaningful,

”What you cannot see, that is the real Demon Sect.”

”Those Demon Cultivators who commit atrocities and are overbearingly arrogant have long been slaughtered by the Taoist Court

”The remaining Demon Cultivators, sometimes appear more righteous than upright cultivators

Mo Hua startled, and unexpectedly thought of Lu Chengyun.

Murdering for corpse refinement, exploiting zombies for mining, tirelessly earning Spirit Stones.

Then using those Spirit Stones to bribe the Taoist Court, purchase local influence, further exploit Mining Cultivators, refine more zombies, and grow his forces.

On the surface, he was the refined and gentlemanly Family Head of the Lu Family.

But behind the scenes, he was a true giant of the Demon Path, a Corpse Cultivator.

Once he managed to refine a Corpse King, all the cultivators of South Yue City, whether alive or dead, would likely become his “zombies.”

And perhaps the present situation was the same.

Fire Buddha and them could just be a “decoy.”

This “Bi Mountain Demon Cavern,” who knows what it hides, and whose handiwork it actually is…

”Uncle Gu, what should we do now? Should we go back and call for reinforcements?”

Mo Hua whispered.

Having discovered the Demon Sect stronghold, the best approach seemed to be to go back and “shake people up,” calling in more Enforcement Leaders from the Taoist Court to annihilate this stronghold.

Gu Changhuai frowned in thought and then slowly shook his head.

”Let’s scout around first. If we can find Fire Buddha and kill him directly, that would be best

”Going back to call for help and surrounding the Demon’s Cave, there would be too many variables amidst the chaos; if Fire Buddha escapes in the process, all our efforts would be in vain

”Moreover

Gu Changhuai’s gaze deepened, and he said no more.

But he understood in his heart; Bi Mountain City’s ability to build a Demon’s Cave meant there was certainly corruption within the Taoist Court…

Calling for reinforcements might just offer opportunities to those with ulterior motives…

A rusty blade in a life-and-death battle might end up being the death of oneself.

This was also exactly what Mo Hua wanted.

Fewer people made for easier work.

With too many people, it was hard to manage with all the eyes and ears, and to make any secretive maneuvers.

Mo Hua looked up again at the imposing Demon’s Cave.

Mo Hua frowned.

Gu Changhuai also felt this wasn’t the way to search and whispered quietly, “Let’s walk towards the inner sanctum to see

They were currently in the outer sanctum of the Demon Palace.

If Fire Buddha wasn’t in the outer sanctum, then he was likely in the inner sanctum.

But the deeper into the inner sanctum, the tighter the security would be, and the more people and dogs patrolling, increasing the risks significantly.

After detection, the chances of escaping would be even lower.

Gu An and Gu Quan were prepared to face death.

Mo Hua also nodded in agreement.

The group then attempted to walk towards the inner sanctum but hadn’t taken many steps before they encountered three people heading towards them; the leader was holding a green-eyed, black-haired, foul-smelling Demon Hound.

The four quickly hid aside, grabbing the stone walls and hanging from the aerial corridor.

When the Demon Hound approached nearby, it suddenly bared its teeth and growled fiercely, lowering its head to sniff around.

Mo Hua sprinkled odorless powder on everyone.

This powder was a common antidote carried by Monster Hunters during their hunts in Big Black Mountain. When faced with danger, they would sprinkle some on themselves to prevent Monster Beasts from detecting their scent.
