Wang Liangzi had overturned the ritual altar, but its basic structure remained intact.
Mo Hua slowly climbed the steps onto the raised platform and looked down, taking in everything on the ritual altar.
A dark altar draped in black cloth, incense made from sunken wood, a clay jar marked with bloody characters, a bright yellow edict, a red-hot branding iron, a curse cord woven from human hair dipped in blood...
Especially that clay jar...
Mo Hua reached out, dabbed his fingers in the water inside the clay jar, and sniffed them. He could actually smell his own divine thought, along with the five elements poison.
This meant Wang Liangzi did indeed possess sophisticated methods that could wash away some of the Five Elements "toxicity" and the "contamination" from Dao Heart Planting Demon that Mo Hua had implanted.
Unfortunately, Wang Liangzi's mastery was still a little lacking. He had not washed it all away.
And his method of washing away the "contamination" also seemed connected to the authority of the Underworld Edict.
This Wang Liangzi... really is quite formidable...
Mo Hua murmured inwardly.
And that isn't all...
Mo Hua examined each object on the dark altar, then pinched a copper coin between his fingers, silently circulated his divine sense, and traced cause and effect backward.
As though time were flowing in reverse, the process of Wang Liangzi casting his spells at this dark altar played backward in Mo Hua's mind, like damaged black-and-white "slides."

Even so, Mo Hua gleaned one crucial piece of information from
