Chapter 1343: Chapter 757 Truth_2
“Feather Transformation is different from the Golden Core; Feather Transformation can turn spiritual power into feathers, allowing flight in the air.”
“Once indulged in a killing nature, coming and going swiftly, slaughtering at will, these sect disciples of the Foundation Establishment Realm in the Refining Demon Mountain would indeed be like insignificant weeds, with countless deaths and injuries.”
“This, for the sect, would also be a huge disaster.”
“Long ago, such events have happened, so later, it was simply and entirely prohibited for any cultivators above the Feather Transformation to enter the outer mountain of the Refining Demon Mountain.”
“I see…”
Mo Hua suddenly understood and nodded.
Therefore, the strongest power of these demon cultivators here won’t exceed the Golden Core.
Mo Hua glanced at Xun Ziyou.
Elder Xun is at the late Golden Core stage, with profound cultivation, and seems to not be weak in actual combat, so he should be able to protect him.
Mo Hua’s confidence increased.
“Elder Xun, let’s go back first,” Mo Hua said.
“Go back?” Xun Ziyou was puzzled.
Mo Hua explained, “Come again at night; most monster beasts are active during the night.”
“Demon cultivators practice demon techniques, drink demon broth, and eat monster meat, walking the demon path, usually making big moves at night.”
“Moreover, over the years, the demon cultivators have been lurking here without leaving a trace, likely because they move out at night when the Refining Demon Mountain is deserted, secretly hunting beasts, so no one discovered them…”
“So, coming at night is better.”
Xun Ziyou said, “Then why not just wait here?”
Mo Hua silently looked at Xun Ziyou and whispered, “We’re going back to check on some things.”
“Check what?” Xun Ziyou was baffled again.
Mo Hua pointed to the white bones with “gnaw marks” on them and slowly said:
“Check the origins of these demon cultivators.”
Xun Ziyou’s gaze slightly hardened, instantly understanding.
If these demon cultivators were formerly sect disciples, then there would undoubtedly be records in the Refining Demon Mountain’s archives.
For example, disciples who “disappeared” in the Refining Demon Mountain in recent years…
Disciples “died”…
They might not really have “disappeared” or “died” in the Refining Demon Mountain.
It’s very possible that they “transformed” into demon cultivators there, thus abandoning their original identities and “dying” in the sect archives…
Xun Ziyou felt a slight chill in his heart.
This speculation is quite reasonable.
Then he looked at Mo Hua with a strange glance.
The things he just figured out, did this child already foresee them?
Why does it feel like Mo Hua, this disciple, knows more than himself?
It seems like he deals with these demons and monsters every day…
While Xun Ziyou was dazed, Mo Hua had already started withdrawing, halfway back, turning to see Xun Ziyou still in a daze, couldn’t help but say:
“Elder Xun, let’s go.”
Xun Ziyou snapped back to reality, nodded, “Alright.”
Just looking at Mo Hua’s back, his gaze still trembled slightly.
Perhaps not only he himself had mistaken, even the ancestor might have been wrong.
This child… is likely not just a “formation genius.”
Perhaps, even treating him merely as a “disciple” might not suffice…
…
The two returned to the mountain gate, and Mo Hua said:
“Elder Xun, we need to check the archives to see which disciples have disappeared or ‘died’ in the Refining Demon Mountain in recent years, preferably with portraits…”
Mo Hua had another vague suspicion that needed to be verified.
“Alright.”
Xun Ziyou sighed, somewhat reluctantly.
He suddenly felt like Mo Hua was the “elder,” and he was merely a bodyguard doing odd jobs for “Elder Mo.”
Xun Ziyou walked towards the archive room in the Refining Demon Mountain Hall.
Mo Hua naturally followed.
But after a few steps, Xun Ziyou stopped him, “You can’t go in.”
Mo Hua was taken aback.
Xun Ziyou said, “Only the elder on duty can enter the archive room and has the qualifications to view the Refining Demon Mountain’s records.”
Mo Hua was very disappointed.
He really wanted to see the archives of the Refining Demon Mountain to examine what they recorded.
What a pity.
Mo Hua instructed, “Then please take a good look, see who the people are, and don’t forget the portraits…”
Xun Ziyou sighed, “Alright…”
Holding the Elder’s Token, Xun Ziyou entered the archive room, coming out after about two hours, giving Mo Hua a look.
Mo Hua understood the signal.
The two entered the Refining Demon Mountain again, found a desolate and quiet place behind a big rock, and sat down on the ground.
Xun Ziyou whispered:
“I secretly took these out, they are copies, with names, origins, backgrounds, careers, portraits all included… After you read them, I will have to burn them.”
Mo Hua’s heart skipped a beat.
This Elder Xun is indeed reliable!
Not only did he know what Mo Hua wanted, but also foresaw things Mo Hua hadn’t thought of in advance.
No wonder he’s the many generations great-grandson of Elder Master Xun!
No time to lose, Mo Hua immediately began to read the records.
The records documented the list of those who had “disappeared” or “died” in the Refining Demon Mountain over the past century:
“Kuang Ping, Sever Gold Sect, a third-grade member of the Kuang family, aged nineteen, entered Refining Demon Mountain, missing after three days. Mountain search for two months, no trace, presumed dead at the mouth of a monster beast…”
“Jiang Rulong, Gui Water Sect, second-grade member of the Jiang family, aged twenty, entered the mountain for monster hunting. Due to lack of experience, panicked when faced with danger, failed during monster hunting, dragged into the deep forest by a monster beast, no remains left…”
“Lan Huier, Danqing Sect… entered the mountain with a male fellow disciple, both died…”
“Liao Ying, Ten Thousand Formations Sect…”
…
The list recorded missing or deceased sect disciples, not only from Sever Gold Sect or Gui Water Sect, but from various other sects as well.
Some of them should have genuinely died in the Refining Demon Mountain.
