The Quest for Immortality

It’s no wonder they could get the clues to the ”Blood Banquet”.

Mo Hua let out a slight sigh of relief.

”It’s good that the Taoist Court knows...”

The Taoist Court might be unreliable, but Uncle Gu and Sister Xia are quite dependable.

Yet after a while, the unease in his heart grew stronger and stronger.

He had cultivated Cause and Effect, and this unease was by no means baseless.

”What does it mean...”

Mo Hua frowned, ”Are Uncle Gu’s actions not going smoothly? Will they encounter danger? Or... will they ultimately be unable to stop this Blood Banquet, and many people will die?”

Mo Hua furrowed his brows deeply, pondered for a moment, and suddenly his expression changed, as a terrible suspicion welled up in his heart.

He hesitated for a moment, took out the Returning to the Source Jade Slip, and that Demon Sect Token, then manipulated the Thunder Magnetic Miniature to infiltrate into the Original Magnet layer of the Demon Sect Token once again.

He found the Demon Cultivation disciple who said ”can have a full meal”, and began to thoroughly re-examine all his recent messages...

The Blood Banquet is not a small matter, requiring a lot of Demon Cultivators and the killing of many cultivators.

Especially with the ”watchful eye” of the Taoist Court, organizing a Blood Banquet is no simple task.

The Demon Sect is bound to go to great lengths to prepare.

Preparations must involve communication among them.

They could not possibly seal off all information without leaving a whisper.

This group of Demon Cultivators did not know that the internal chat messages of the Demon Sect Token were being ”monitored” by me, so they couldn’t silence themselves on the matter of the Blood Banquet.

If they did talk about it and I didn’t find out.

That means I must have missed something.

Missed something...

Mo Hua checked through the records of this Demon Cultivation disciple one by one and finally found another strange sentence:

”In a few days, we can kill the dog...”

This sentence was unclear in meaning and was mixed in the vast flow of the Original Magnet. It hadn’t caught Mo Hua’s attention before.

But now, it seemed very odd.

Kill the dog...

What dog do Demon Cultivators kill?

Why would killing a dog be mentioned in the Sect Token?

What on earth does this ”dog” refer to?

After a moment, Mo Hua’s heart skipped a beat.

”The Taoist Court’s dog...”

This sentence, he had heard many times; it’s also the expression most commonly used by Demon Cultivators, Evil Cultivators, and many Sin Cultivators who have broken Taoist Law. ℟ÂΝöΒΕs̩

”Dog” refers to a dog, meaning those cultivators who work for the Taoist Court.

Mo Hua started the search for the term ”kill the dog” to look through other Demon Cultivators’ conversations.

The number of Secondary Thunder Patterns from the Returning of the Thunder Magnetic Miniature was still insufficient.

After all, Mo Hua was only at Foundation Establishment, and his Divine Sense Calculation Power was somewhat strained in front of this colossal Compound Formation of Original Magnet.

Therefore, the search process was rather slow.

After an unknown amount of time, Mo Hua finally managed to retrieve most of the chat records of Demon Cultivators containing ”kill the dog”.

These records appeared one after another in front of Mo Hua.

The more Mo Hua read, the colder his heart became.

His speculation was finally confirmed:

The Demon Sect’s real target was the Taoist Court; they intended to hold a ”Blood Banquet” with the Taoist Court’s cultivators!

However...

Would the Taoist Court really fall for it?

Mo Hua flipped through the records again and found a message from ten days earlier:

”The Elder discovered a ’cat’...”

”Damn it, sneaky thing, betraying us from the inside...”

”What do we do? Kill it? Skin it, drain its blood, hang it at the door as a warning?”

”Kill it...”

”Don’t rush, this matter needs the Elder’s decision...”

...

A day later, there was another message:

”...the Elder said, killing it would be a waste; use the cat to lure the dog, eat the dog first, then the cat...”

...

Mo Hua’s heart chilled.

The outline of the matter became clearer.

”Cat,” should refer to the ”informant” of the Taoist Court.

”Dog,” refers to the ”dog” of the Taoist Court.

The Taoist Court must have used some method to plant an ”informant” within the Demon Sect.

But this informant, for some reason, was discovered by the Demon Sect.

The Demon Sect then took advantage of the situation, using the ”informant” to set a trap to lure the Taoist Court cultivators.

Mo Hua immediately took out the Letter Token and messaged Gu Changhuai:

”Uncle Gu, the informant within the Demon Sect has been exposed.”

”Uncle Gu, beware of the Demon Sect’s ambush.”

”Uncle Gu...”

But Gu Changhuai still didn’t reply with any message.

Mo Hua had no choice but to send it to Xia Canonical Official, but similarly, it sank into the sea with no response.

”Can’t get in touch...”

Mo Hua frowned deeply.

He could almost be certain that Uncle Gu and the others must have received the ”informant’s” intelligence, and then went on a mission.

But this ”information” was false in itself.

”I hope Uncle Gu and the others can sense it in time...”

But the more Mo Hua thought about it, the less hopeful he felt.

The ”informant” lurking in the Demon Sect didn’t know they had been exposed.

The information they obtained was undoubtedly believed to be true.

It’s even highly possible that this message was ”true,” deliberately released by the Demon Sect as true information, used as ”live bait” for fishing.

In such circumstances, the Taoist Court certainly wouldn’t suspect.

This ”bait,” for sure, they would take.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t have this intense ”unease.”

And as the warning sign in his heart grew stronger, Mo Hua could even conclude that the Taoist Court’s cultivators were already stepping into the Demon Sect’s trap.

”What should I do?”

Mo Hua wore a grave expression.

Find the Gu Family? It seems useless.

This is a confidential mission of the Taoist Court, and the Gu Family may not know the details.

The Gu Family cultivators who know the details would certainly be executing the mission with Uncle Gu, also treading the ”path to death.”

Find the Taoist Court? Find Master Xia?

Elder Zheng’s words were still echoing in his ears, and matters of the Thunder Magnetism Formation mustn’t be told to anyone.
