Evil God
After returning to the sect, Mo Hua immediately sent Gu Changhuai a message:
"Uncle Gu, keep an eye on River-Crossing Dragon. Someone is going to tamper with things."
Gu Changhuai replied quickly. "How did you know?"
Mo Hua: "I heard about it..."
Gu Changhuai: "Who did you hear it from?"
Mo Hua hesitated, then asked, "If I told you, would you believe me?"
Gu Changhuai clearly paused as well. "Tell me."
"A disciple from Duanjin Gate told me. Others call him 'Young Master Jin,'" Mo Hua said.
"Young Master Jin?"
"Mm."
Mo Hua had found it strange before as well. If the matter of black-clothed Human Traffickers truly ran so deep, how could the Dao Court Office know nothing at all?
How could this man possibly not know?
Gu Changhuai fell silent, his gaze turning somewhat frightening.
"Methods have also been laid down at the sect gates to monitor demonic aura and Demonic Qi."
"So that's how it is..." Mo Hua nodded.
Mo Hua frowned tightly. "You can't investigate it?"
It might have been possible for Dao Court Offices in some small places to embezzle and commit fraud, acting brazenly and recklessly, but this was Ganxue Prefecture—a dignified fifth-rank Dao Court Office...
Mo Hua continued, "He told River-Crossing Dragon to enter Dao Prison first, then 'die' in Dao Prison, change his identity afterward, and come out to carry on..."
Mo Hua hurriedly asked, "Uncle Gu, how much do you know?"
Gu Changhuai did not quite believe him.
"Mm." Mo Hua nodded.
"When the Dao Court Office besieged them, the leader escaped. The other black-clothed men were left behind, but without exception, they all died. Demonic Qi destroyed their bodies, contaminated their meridians and Spirit Roots, leaving only black, fishy, foul-smelling lumps of flesh and blood..."
Just as expected!
