Mo Hua searched the Evil God Statue and secretly took a hidden object from its skull while Mr. Tu recovered and confronted him. Mo Hua bluffed Mr. Tu into believing he was a powerful Fierce God, but the arrival of three more Feather Transformation cultivators left him surrounded.

• Mo Hua found a concealed trace of aura in the Evil God Statue and retrieved a sinister object from a crack inside its skull.
• Mr. Tu re-formed his body, discovered the dead Demonic Cultivators, and confronted Mo Hua atop the statue.
• Mo Hua stayed on the altar to avoid Mr. Tu and pretended that he controlled the descended God Lord through Yu'er.
• Mo Hua spun a tale about orchestrating events around Yu'er, convincing Mr. Tu that he was a calculating Fierce God.
• Mo Hua tried to make Mr. Tu submit, but three Feather Transformation cultivators entered the hall and broke his influence over Mr. Tu.

Mo Hua used Yu'er as a hostage and impersonated a trusted intermediary to manipulate the Feather Transformation devils into fighting Mr. Tu. As the battle raged, Mo Hua promised Shangguan Wang the God Lord’s favor in exchange for escorting him and Yu'er out.

• Shangguan Wang, the Corpse Valley Feather Transformation, and the Demon Sword Sect old devil found the slaughtered Golden Core cultivators and demanded that Mr. Tu explain their deaths.
• Mr. Tu blamed another culprit and pointed out Mo Hua, who deflected suspicion and kept the three Feather Transformations wary of one another.
• Yu'er woke, and Mo Hua coached him to act as though he were an infant God Lord still merging with his vessel; Yu'er played along without exposing the deception.
• Mo Hua promised the Feather Transformations the God Lord’s favor if they killed Mr. Tu, then threatened them with divine punishment if they refused.
• The Corpse Valley and Demon Sword Sect Feather Transformations attacked Mr. Tu together, and Mo Hua offered Shangguan Wang pardon and favor if he escorted Mo Hua and Yu'er out.

Mo Hua manipulated Shangguan Wang into helping him escape the Evil God Temple with Yu'er, but rival Feather Transformation cultivators ambushed them at the Yanluo Mountain abyss. As the four powerful demons fought over Yu'er and Mo Hua, Mo Hua leaped into the abyss with Yu'er.

• Mo Hua frightened and tempted Shangguan Wang into pledging loyalty to the God Lord, and Shangguan Wang killed several Demonic Cultivators who tried to stop him.
• Shangguan Wang led Mo Hua and Yu'er through the Flesh Labyrinth and out of the Evil God Temple while Mr. Tu and the two sect elders fought behind them.
• Mo Hua guided the group across Yanluo Mountain, where Shangguan Wang tried to cross the Demon Abyss using a Silver Suspension Rope.
• The Gold Corpse and the Demon Sword Sect elder ambushed them, and Mr. Tu arrived as Shangguan Wang and the three other Feather Transformation cultivators began fighting.
• Mo Hua jumped into the Demon Abyss with Yu'er while the four Feather Transformation cultivators were occupied, shocking them all.

Mo Hua rescued Yu'er from Yanluo Mountain and used his authority over the Flesh Demons to drive off four Feather Transformation cultivators, who learned that a Fierce God dwelled within him. As the Demonic Path leaders resumed their plans and Ganxue’s ancestors questioned True Person Situ about withdrawing, Elder Xun sensed that a catastrophic slaughter was approaching.

• Mo Hua carried Yu'er through the abyss as countless Flesh Demons submitted to him, then commanded them to overwhelm Mr. Tu, Shangguan Wang, and the other two Feather Transformation cultivators.
• The demons raised Mo Hua and Yu'er out of the abyss, and Mo Hua sealed Yanluo Mountain’s entrance with a final command before heading toward Ganxue Prefecture.
• The four wounded Feather Transformation cultivators escaped the abyss, and Mr. Tu revealed that Mo Hua was a vessel for a terrifying Fierce God.
• Mr. Tu and the other Demonic Path leaders agreed to continue expanding the Blood Sacrifice Array and attack Ganxue Prefecture, but grew suspicious when they learned Ganxue’s forces had withdrawn.
• True Person Situ awoke and refused to reveal Mo Hua’s role in the Evil God’s defeat, while Elder Xun sensed an approaching slaughter through his vision of Karma.

Mr. Tu discovered that Mo Hua had hidden Spirit-Reversing Absolute Arrays inside the Blood Sacrifice Array and tried to dismantle them before they could destroy its core. He realized too late that the Sundial Array was a decoy and its destruction had triggered the array’s collapse.

• Mr. Tu sensed danger, suspected Mo Hua had tampered with the Blood Sacrifice Array, and uncovered a hidden Spirit-Reversing Absolute Array beneath Mo Hua’s Riddle Array patterns.
• Mr. Tu found a Sundial Array linked to the hidden arrays and believed he had to disable them before its countdown ended.
• Mr. Tu tried to isolate the Spirit-Reversing Arrays from the Blood Sacrifice Array’s hub and realized Mo Hua’s intricate design showed mastery of great-array construction.
• With time running short, Mr. Tu lost his composure and shattered the Sundial Array, only to discover it had been the fuse for the Spirit-Reversing Arrays.
• Black Reverse Transformation lingli seeped into the Blood Sacrifice Array, and the array began to disintegrate.

Mo Hua’s Reverse Spirit Array disintegrated the Wild Heaven Blood Sacrifice Array in successive stages, unleashing destruction across Ganxue Prefecture. The collapse killed vast numbers of demonic beings and triggered Heavenly Dao Lightning Tribulations that struck down four Feather Transformation cultivators, leaving Mo Hua burdened with immense killing intent.

• Mo Hua’s Reverse Spirit Force destroyed the Blood Sacrifice Array’s central hub, stopping the array and injuring Mr. Tu, Shangguan Wang, the Corpse Valley cultivator, and the Demon Sword Sect Elder.
• A second wave of disintegration shattered the Ancient Wilderness Demon’s heart, the Array Eye, and released a flood of evil force that overwhelmed demonic cultivators and Flesh Demons.
• Mo Hua’s final disintegration fused Lingli and evil force across the array, dissolving mountains, cultivators, and other living beings throughout the Wild Heaven Blood Sacrifice Array.
• The old man at the Sword Viewing Pavilion recognized the attack as a preliminary Yin-Yang Reverse Transformation, while Elder Xun feared the immense killing intent Mo Hua had accumulated.
• Heavenly Dao Lightning Tribulation descended and erased the life auras of four Feather Transformation cultivators.

Mo Hua escaped Yanluo Mountain with Yu'er after disintegrating the Wild Heaven Blood Sacrifice Array, but he was left wondering whether a hidden force had caused Mr. Tu and the other Feather Transformation cultivators to die. He reunited with the disciples near Ganxue Prefecture, then collapsed under the immense karmic burden of the lives he had taken.

• Mo Hua watched the Wild Heaven Blood Sacrifice Array disintegrate, erasing its demonic forces, and saw Tribulation Lightning kill Mr. Tu and three others.
• Mo Hua carried the waking Yu'er toward Ganxue Prefecture and told him that the demons were dead and he would take him back to his mother.
• The gathered sect prodigies feared Mo Hua had died in the array and mourned him until he appeared behind them with Yu'er.
• Mo Hua reunited with the Void Gate disciples and explained that he had gone to save Yu'er.
• Mo Hua was overwhelmed by the killing intent and karmic burden of the slaughter, fainted, and was carried toward Void Gate as the disciples called for Elder Xun.

Elder Xun and True Person Situ struggled to save Mo Hua as his immense Killing Intent triggered a terrifying transformation of his Fate. The Dao Rhyme of the earth and the Heavenly Dao’s fortune restored a balance, but his Fate remained dangerous; after seven days, Mo Hua woke with black and white forces flowing in his eyes.

• Elder Xun and True Person Situ used arrays, lamps, and Heavenly Mystery treasures to suppress the Killing Intent eroding Mo Hua’s Fate.
• Mo Hua’s Fate revealed a Mountain of Corpses and Sea of Blood, a roaring Corpse King, and an Evil Fetus as his Dao Heart began transforming him into a Great Demon.
• The Dao Rhyme of the earth and the fortune of the Heavenly Dao descended to protect Mo Hua and balance his Death Baleful Qi.
• Mo Hua’s immediate danger passed, but True Person Situ warned Elder Xun that the fierce forces in his Fate could revive and influence his temperament.
• Elder Xun sealed Void Gate against outside disturbances while everyone awaited Mo Hua’s recovery.
• Seven days later, Mo Hua opened his eyes, with Death Baleful Qi and Heavenly Dao fortune fused in his Fate.

Mo Hua recovered from the Blood Sacrifice Array’s destruction while Elder Xun hid his role and warned him to deny any connection to the disaster. After resolving to grow stronger so he could someday save his master, Mo Hua examined a Great Wilderness Bone Slip and discovered its contents were written in an ancient script he could not read.

• Elder Xun examined Mo Hua, heard how he had rescued Yu'er and destroyed the Blood Sacrifice Array, and ordered him to deny any involvement to avoid enemies from both righteous and demonic factions.
• Elder Xun arranged meetings and suppressed knowledge of Mo Hua’s role, while rumors accusing Mo Hua of demonic cultivation spread beyond Void Gate.
• True Person Situ visited Mo Hua, refused to discuss his master, and urged him to cultivate patiently rather than rush into matters beyond his power.
• Mo Hua set aside his worry about his master and resolved to become strong enough to save him.
• Mo Hua took out the Great Wilderness Bone Slip and realized its Array Technique was recorded in Great Wilderness Ancient Script that he could not understand.

While recovering from the blood sacrifice grand array, Mo Hua gained access to Void Gate’s Inner Sect Scripture Repository to study the Great Wilderness Ancient Script. He deciphered the first line on the Evil God Bone Slip and discovered it recorded the Twelve-Meridian Taotie Spirit Bone Array.

• Elder Xun explained the cleanup after the blood sacrifice and warned Mo Hua to keep his role secret while the Void Gate contested the Sword Discussion results.
• Mo Hua described how he had calculated the possible outcomes of his sword strike and admitted that Old Ancestor Dugu had taught him the sword art.
• Elder Xun warned Mo Hua not to use the dangerous sword art lightly and told him not to worry about Old Ancestor Dugu.
• Mo Hua asked to study the Great Wilderness Ancient Script, and Elder Xun gave him a token to access related records in the Inner Sect Scripture Repository.
• After studying for about half a month, Mo Hua deciphered the first line on the Bone Slip and identified the Twelve-Meridian Taotie Spirit Bone Array.

Mo Hua recognized the Twelve-Meridian Taotie Spirit Bone Array as a possible Natal Array and organized help to decipher the Great Wilderness Bone Slip. He learned that the array could store immense spirit power in a Spirit Bone exoskeleton, and he began imagining using it to unleash instant-cast superior spells.

• Mo Hua connected the Taotie array on the Great Wilderness Bone Slip to the monster in his dream and decided it might become his Natal Array Formation.
• Mo Hua enlisted Elder Chu and Inner Sect disciples to help decipher the Bone Slip’s Great Wilderness Ancient Script.
• Mo Hua learned that the Great Shaman had adapted an ancient Gluttony Ferocious Array into the Twelve-Meridian Taotie Spirit Bone Array.
• Mo Hua discovered that the array fused a cultivator’s meridians, spirit power, and bones into a Spirit Bone exoskeleton that could store and release vast reserves of spirit power.
• Mo Hua imagined using the array to cast powerful superior spells instantly and unleash a barrage of them.

Mo Hua resolved to pursue the Twelve-Meridian Taotie Spirit Bone Array despite being unable to see or understand how to refine it, and he spent his confinement studying and preparing. After Void Gate won first place in the Sword Debate, Mo Hua appeared at the Array Discussion Assembly to counter rumors, where his supposedly restrained performance still overwhelmed the other array geniuses.

• Mo Hua rejected the Four Symbols Azure Dragon Array and decided to make the Twelve-Meridian Taotie Spirit Bone Array his Natal Array Formation, though he could not yet see its complete diagram or determine how to refine it.
• Shangguan Yi visited Mo Hua, thanked him for protecting Wenren Wan and Yu'er, and told him they were recovering while Shangguan Wang's branch was purged from the family.
• Elder Xun told Mo Hua that Void Gate had taken first place in the Sword Debate and said Mo Hua should attend the Array Discussion Assembly to answer rumors by showing his face.
• Mo Hua appeared at the Array Discussion Assembly after the Dao Discussion Assembly reopened, drawing the attention of the crowd and the wary Dao Discussion Mountain elders.
• Mo Hua followed Elder Xun's advice to hold back and drew the array questions at a leisurely pace, but the Ganxue array geniuses still felt overwhelmed by his skill.

After winning a second Array Dao championship, Mo Hua returned to Void Gate and began saying farewell as graduation approached. Zhang Lan left for Kan Province after passing him the Golden Core Flowing Water Step, while Mo Hua’s outing with Yu’er ended with the boy revealing the Evil God’s presence again.

• Mo Hua won the Array Discussion Assembly and secured his second Array Dao Champion title, easing rumors about him.
• Mo Hua returned to Void Gate, reunited with his fellow disciples, and realized fewer than two months remained before they went their separate ways.
• Mo Hua said farewell to Zhang Lan, who later received the Third-Grade Flowing Water Step from Great Elder Zhang and secretly sent its Golden Core manual to Mo Hua.
• Great Elder Zhang worried that the blood sacrifice and the Yellow Springs foretold a coming calamity for the Nine Provinces and the Zhang Family.
• Mo Hua attended the Gu Family’s farewell gathering, then took Yu’er around Qingzhou City for an evening stroll.
• As lanterns lit the city, Yu’er called the people below “straw dogs” and revealed an evil presence within himself to Mo Hua.

Mo Hua confronted the Evil God True Fetus inside Yu'er, warned it to keep Yu'er safe, and helped Yu'er face the evil thoughts within him. As Mo Hua prepared to leave Ganxue Prefecture, Inspector Xia offered him a Xia Family Fortune Token, Gu Changhuai received his advice about pursuing Inspector Xia, and Wenren Wan voiced her worries about Yu'er.

• Mo Hua warned the Evil God True Fetus that Yu'er's survival was the only reason he had not destroyed it, then reassured Yu'er that he could temper his Dao Heart by facing his evil thoughts.
• At the Gu Family banquet, Inspector Xia gave Mo Hua a Xia Family Fortune Token and arranged for Inspector Xia to remain in Ganxue Prefecture after he returned to Dao Province.
• Mo Hua urged Gu Changhuai to pursue Inspector Xia, and Gu Changhuai invited Mo Hua to visit the Gu Family again.
• Inspector Xia told Inspector Xia that the Xia Family would reduce its support because she would not enter a marriage alliance, but that he had arranged for her to remain in Ganxue Prefecture.
• Before Mo Hua left the Gu Family, Wenren Wan admitted she feared Yu'er was strange, and Mo Hua reassured her that Yu'er would always be her child.

After Void Gate rose to become Ganxue Prefecture’s foremost sect, Mo Hua prepared to leave after nine years of cultivation, saying farewell to his companions and receiving warnings and a recommendation Jade Pass from Elder Xun. The chapter ended with elders, Sect Masters, and Old Ancestors signing the pass as Mo Hua prepared to go home and begin his next journey.

• Mo Hua said farewell to the Gu Family, Wenren Wan, and Yu'er, then returned to Void Gate.
• Void Gate won first place in the Ganxue Dao Discussion and was ranked as one sect alongside the Three Mountains, above the Four Great Sects; Mo Hua received the Wood-Ether Rejuvenation Formation inheritance as a reward.
• Mo Hua saw his fellow disciples off as they left Void Gate, then told Elder Xun that he planned to return home before deciding what to do next.
• Elder Xun warned Mo Hua that killing sin and overuse of Divine Thought could destabilize his Fate, and advised him to restrain his killing and Divine Consciousness.
• Elder Xun gave Mo Hua a Sect Jade Pass and asked him to collect elders' signatures; elders, Sect Masters, and Old Ancestors from the Three Mountains eagerly signed it.

Mo Hua visited Lone Mountain City, the Small Fishing Village, and Withered Mountain to check on friends and places he would soon leave behind. He reassured Lord Yellow Mountain about the Evil God he carried, promised to arrange a rebuilt temple, and departed with Lord Yellow Mountain bidding him farewell.

• Mo Hua toured Lone Mountain City with Master Gu, saw how the refining guild supported the Rogue Cultivators and orphans, collected the Magnetic Ink Furnace’s Secondary Thunder Patterns, and learned that Fan Jin had been promoted.
• Mo Hua visited Old Yu in the Small Fishing Village, learned Xiao Shun and Xiao Shui had joined Guishui Gate through an elder surnamed Yu, and said goodbye to Little Silver Fish, which followed his carriage along the Yanshui River.
• Mo Hua found Lord Yellow Mountain alive in his ruined temple and set out food and offerings before they talked about the Blood Sacrifice calamity.
• Mo Hua revealed that the Evil God of the Great Wilderness was contained in his Tooth Talisman and said he planned to carry part of the Evil God away from Ganxue Prefecture.
• Mo Hua promised to hire people to rebuild Lord Yellow Mountain’s temple and provide offerings before leaving, and Lord Yellow Mountain watched him go and murmured, “Take care...”

Summary: Hundred Flowers Jade Referral

1. Key Plot Points

• Mo Hua descends Withered Mountain and spends Spirit Stones to have a shrine built for Lord Yellow Mountain, ensuring the mountain god receives regular offerings.
• During his return journey, Mo Hua witnesses the devastation of the blood sacrifice calamity—several villages and a Little Immortal City he once visited have been destroyed, with all inhabitants slaughtered by Demonic Cultivators. He reflects on his inability to save everyone.
• Mo Hua visits Guishui Gate, where he meets Yu Canghai, now an elder of the sect. He reveals that the Water Prison Forbidden Box is in his possession. He refuses to return it now, but promises to give it back once Yu Canghai reaches Feather Transformation, or when Xiao Shun and Xiao Shui form Golden Cores.
• Mo Hua visits Wang Chen, who has prospered through his connections and plans to work in local Dao Court Offices before eventually returning to Ganxue Prefecture.
• Mo Hua secretly meets Song Jian, who warns him about Duanjin Gate elders' claims that Mo Hua's Golden Core will be weak due to his poor Spirit Root and insufficiently nurtured Natal Magic Treasure.
• Mo Hua visits Murong Caiyun and Hua Qianqian. Murong has successfully formed her Golden Core.
• The Hundred Flowers Valley Master appears and gifts Mo Hua a Sect Jade Pass, saying he is "fated" with Hundred Flowers Valley and can seek help from its disciples when traveling. Her expression as she gives it is complicated—familiar, sorrowful, and deeply concerned.

2. Character Developments

• Mo Hua: Due to his Fate Balefulness, he can now sense Killing Intent and Death Baleful Qi instinctively. He develops a deeper resolve to grow stronger enough to change the structure of the cultivation world and the fate of living beings. He shows compassion for the unnoticed "majority" who suffer and die silently. He also matures in handling the Water Prison Forbidden Box—offering hope rather than a direct return, and showing strategic wisdom in managing Yu Canghai's expectations.
• Yu Canghai: Has rebuilt his life as an elder of Guishui Gate, using his Water Prison Sect inheritance to teach. He has taken in Xiao Shun and Xiao Shui as disciples to continue the sect's lineage. He experiences anger and disappointment at first upon learning Mo Hua has the box, but eventually accepts the arrangement with genuine gratitude.
• Wang Chen: Has risen from an obscure disciple to someone with the broadest connections among his generation, proving that ordinary-seeming people can show unexpected talent when given opportunity.
• Song Jian: Has become a leading disciple of Duanjin Gate, but remains cautious about being seen with Mo Hua. He shows genuine concern for Mo Hua's cultivation future and warns him sincerely.
• Murong Caiyun: Has formed her Golden Core successfully.
• Hua Qianqian: Still at Foundation Establishment, feels pressured to catch up after seeing her friends progress.
• Hundred Flowers Valley Master: Her complicated expression and gift suggest a deeper, unexplained connection to Mo Hua.

3. Significant Themes

• The cost of calamity: The blood sacrifice spares some (Lone Mountain City, Small Fishing Village) while dooming others. The ordinary, low-level cultivators bear the true brunt of death and suffering, and their deaths go unnoticed and unrecorded.
• The need for strength: Mo Hua's reflection "Still... not strong enough..." reinforces that only by becoming strong enough can he change the world's structure and the fate of all living beings.
• Preserving legacies: Both Yu Canghai (Water Prison Sect) and Mo Hua (through his promise) work to preserve a sect's inheritance, with hope and patience as key elements.
• Fate and parting: Many characters doubt they will meet again. "If fate allows" is repeated, emphasizing the impermanence of relationships in the cultivation world.
• Questioning future potential: Duanjin Gate elders' rumors about Mo Hua's impending weak Golden Core introduce doubt about whether youthful brilliance will endure.

4. Character Interactions

• Mo Hua & Yu Canghai: Mo Hua reveals the Water Prison Forbidden Box, which shocks Yu Canghai. There is initial tension and anger from Yu Canghai, but Mo Hua's calm demeanor and reasonable conditions (returning it at Feather Transformation or when his disciples reach Golden Core) turn the encounter into one of mutual respect and gratitude. Yu Canghai bows deeply, thanking Mo Hua for preserving the Water Prison Sect lineage.
• Mo Hua & Wang Chen: A cordial farewell between old acquaintances. Wang Chen expresses gratitude and plans for the future, and they exchange parting wishes.
• Mo Hua & Song Jian: A secret, cautious meeting. Song Jian warns Mo Hua about negative prophecies concerning his Golden Core, showing genuine worry despite their sect rivalry. They part with "Until we meet again, if fate allows."
• Mo Hua & Senior Sisters: Murong Caiyun and Hua Qianqian share tea and offer Mo Hua advice on Golden Core formation. Murong teases Hua Qianqian about her laziness, and Hua Qianqian is motivated by the thought of Mo Hua forming his Golden Core before she does.
• Mo Hua & Hundred Flowers Valley Master: A tense, formal interaction. Mo Hua is confused about why she would give him a Sect Jade Pass without being a disciple. The Valley Master's cryptic comment ("Are you not?") and her emotional, complicated expression at the end hint at a deeper connection and concern for him.

Mo Hua prepared to leave Void Gate after nine years, receiving Elder Xun’s protection and a secret body-forging art from the Sect Master, whose Bai Family origins stunned him. He chose an unexpectedly shabby Cloud Ferry Token and, on the eve of his departure, saw a familiar spatial rift open with sinister demonic intent calling him closer.

• Mo Hua said farewell to Valley Master Hua, Murong Caiyun, Hua Qianqian, and Xiao Mutou before confirming his departure from Void Gate.
• Elder Xun gave Mo Hua five Cloud Ferry Tokens, promised to conceal his tracks for three days, and cautioned him to prepare his Natal Magic Treasure carefully.
• The Void Gate Sect Master gave Mo Hua the Wood White Gold Jade Dharma Body secret art and revealed that he belonged to the Bai Family of Ancestral Dragon State Boundary.
• Mo Hua chose a pale white Cloud Ferry Token over a faster golden one because his instinct warned him he would regret another choice, then packed to leave the next morning.
• A spatial rift opened in Mo Hua’s room, and a cold demonic intent emerged as a phantom voice called, “Come...”

Mo Hua entered the Sword Graveyard Forbidden Area and witnessed Old Ancestor Dugu repel waves of Heavenly Demons with his Divine Sense Sword. After Old Ancestor Dugu exhausted himself driving back a Thousand-Face Heavenly Demon, a Lesser Faceless Heavenly Demon grabbed Mo Hua, but Mo Hua subdued it with his God-Slaying Sword.

• Mo Hua followed the eerie spatial rift into the Sword Graveyard Forbidden Area, where Old Ancestor Dugu repeatedly destroyed invading Heavenly Demons with his Divine Sense Sword.
• Old Ancestor Dugu and Mo Hua discovered that the Heavenly Demons had manipulated Old Ancestor Dugu into drawing Mo Hua there and intended to turn Mo Hua into a Heavenly Demon conduit.
• Old Ancestor Dugu used the Heavenly Net Sword Array to kill the lesser Heavenly Demons, then unleashed the God-Extinguishing Style to drive back a fifth-grade Thousand-Face Heavenly Demon.
• A Lesser Faceless Heavenly Demon seized Mo Hua while Old Ancestor Dugu was too exhausted to intervene.
• Mo Hua grabbed the Lesser Faceless Heavenly Demon, slammed it to the ground, and hacked it into pieces with his God-Slaying Sword, leaving Old Ancestor Dugu stunned.

Mo Hua defeated and swallowed the Lesser Faceless Heavenly Demon, then learned that Old Ancestor Dugu was being consumed by demonic thought and would seal himself inside the Sword Graveyard. After leaving the Void Gate with Dugu’s Broken Sword, Mo Hua traveled toward Cloud Ferry City, where Elder Ge discussed the Dao Court’s designs on Ganxue Prefecture with one of his students.

• Mo Hua repeatedly cut apart the Lesser Faceless Heavenly Demon, then tore it apart and swallowed it when the God-Slaying Sword could not kill it.
• Old Ancestor Dugu gave Mo Hua the Broken Sword named Dugu, asked him to return someday and kill him, and sent him out before sealing the Sword Graveyard against the Heavenly Demons.
• Mo Hua found the Lesser Faceless Heavenly Demon in his Sea of Consciousness and handed it to the big-headed Pixiu to subdue.
• Mo Hua left the Void Gate at dawn, thanked the sect with a bow, and departed without telling its members he was going.
• Mo Hua traveled toward Cloud Ferry City in disguise while Elder Ge told a middle-aged cultivator that the Dao Court had intended to exploit the Blood Sacrifice and sect reforms to expand its power in Ganxue Prefecture.
