“Kong Sheng?” Mo Hua was somewhat puzzled, “Is this a merchant caravan from the Kong Family?”

Elder Yu shook his head, “It’s an ordinary caravan, carrying pills, passing through Qingxuan City, on its way to Tongxian City to do business.”

Mo Hua didn’t quite understand, “Then why is that young master of the Kong Family in this caravan?”

Elder Yu’s expression bore a touch of indescribable complexity, “It’s said that he wanted to come personally, to kill Ji Qingbai and his son, and then take Fu Lan back…”

Mo Hua fell silent and then asked, “Is he a Foundation Building Cultivator…?”

Elder Yu sighed, “Just like you, at the seventh level of Qi Refinement…”

Mo Hua’s expression also turned indescribably complex, exclaiming, “His brain must have been eaten by a pig.”

Daring to venture out alone with the merchant caravan, even daring to enter the Inner Mountain of Big Black Mountain, does he not know what death spells?

Elder Yu said, “It’s heard that this Kong Sheng has been spoiled since childhood, is selfish and extreme in nature; as he grew up, whatever he wanted he got, and whatever he wished to do he did, with nobody daring to contradict him. He’s done quite a few acts like beating up fellow cultivators and forcefully taking female cultivators, but no one dared to deal with him…”

“Later in the streets, he saw Fu Lan’s beauty and conceived wicked thoughts, wanting Fu Lan as his concubine. Fu Lan disagreed, so he relentlessly pursued her, causing the death of Fu Lan’s mother. Eventually, the Ji father and son, filled with righteous indignation, gave him a beating, but they didn’t dare to kill him.”

“Kong Sheng, unable to swallow the humiliation, had Kong Family cultivators chase after Ji father and son to kill them, and later even bribed Sin Cultivators to vent his spite.”

“But the Sin Cultivator failed, Kong Sheng was furious, wanting to come in person; the Kong Family disagreed, and he, having malice in his heart, disguised himself and followed the caravan in secret, heading toward Tongxian City.”

Elder Yu narrated everything in detail.

Listening, Mo Hua found it somewhat inconceivable, this Kong Sheng, actually dumber than Qian Xing.

When Qian Xing acted, at least he knew to bring a gang of followers to do his bidding, and he seldom left the city.

This Kong Sheng, not bringing any followers, actually dared to venture out and even thought of taking matters into his own hands to commit murder.

Does he really think no one dares to kill him?

“So he spent Spirit Stones to hire Sin Cultivators to kill, but in the end, disguising himself to leave the city, he was killed by the Sin Cultivator himself?” Mo Hua said slowly.

(vitag.Init = window.vitag.Init || []).push(function(){viAPItag.display(“vi_765923973”)})

“To put it simply, that’s pretty much it…” Elder Yu’s expression was somewhat complicated, “But whether he has been killed or not is still uncertain; it’s also possible he has only been kidnapped.”

Mo Hua felt somewhat gratified, chuckled, and said, “What goes around comes around, he absolutely deserved it. Better dead than alive, otherwise it’s a waste of Spirit Stones.”

Elder Yu listened and couldn’t help but laugh too, but after a moment he sighed, “Still, this matter is troublesome.”

“What does it matter to us if he is dead or alive?” Mo Hua was puzzled.

“Kong Sheng held a grudge against the Ji father and son and went missing in the Big Black Mountain. The Kong Family suspects that it was done by the Ji brothers and wants us to hand over the people involved.”

Mo Hua’s eyebrows rose, “They must be dreaming, how can they bully people like this?”

Elder Yu nodded, “Indeed, it’s excessive bullying.”

Mo Hua then worriedly asked, “Can we defeat the Kong Family?”

Elder Yu replied with a smile, “Don’t worry, even the Qian Family can’t do anything to us now, let alone the Kong Family from out of town. If they dare to cause trouble, the knives in our hands aren’t just for show.”

Mo Hua nodded with satisfaction, “If they dare come, then let’s slaughter them all, none of them are likely good people!”

Again, Elder Yu said, “However, they may not dare to come here directly, but it’s likely they will exert pressure through the Taoist Court in Qingxuan City.”

“Can the Taoist Court in Qingxuan City interfere with the matters of Tongxian City?”

(vitag.Init = window.vitag.Init || []).push(function(){viAPItag.display(“vi_765923973”)})

“That’s up to the Taoist Court to decide. I’m not entirely sure myself. We’ll cross that bridge when we come to it.”

“Hmm,” Mo Hua nodded.

Having said his piece, Elder Yu then left Mo Hua to bring the matter to Elder Yu.

Mo Hua was somewhat concerned, so he took the chance to ask Zhang Lan while he was at the tavern drinking, “How is it going with the young master of the Kong Family’s affair?”

Zhang Lan had just sat down and hadn’t finished his drink when he heard the question and appeared somewhat helpless.

The matter of Kong Sheng was something he too had just heard about from the Court Leader, and right off the bat, Mo Hua had caught him to fish for information.

Zhang Lan couldn’t help but say, “How do you know about everything?”

“That’s not important,” Mo Hua waved off, his gaze piercing as he stared at Zhang Lan, “Will the Taoist Court in Qingxuan City intervene?”

Zhang Lan sighed.

Alright then, he hadn’t even answered yet, and Mo Hua had already started asking her second question.

However, in Tongxian City, Mo Hua knew far too many people: from the Court Leader of the Taoist Court to the Monster Hunters roaming the mountains, down to the children running around the streets, he could probably name them all.

It was only natural that he was aware of the affair concerning Young Master Kong Sheng.

(vitag.Init = window.vitag.Init || []).push(function(){viAPItag.display(“vi_765923973”)})

Moreover, he guessed that he would need Mo Hua’s help with this matter.

Zhang Lan then said, “The current conclusion on the Taoist Court’s side is that Young Master of the Kong Family has been kidnapped by Sin Cultivators, and we need to enter the mountain to capture the Sin Cultivators and rescue the Young Master.”

“He’s not dead?”

Mo Hua was somewhat disappointed.

Zhang Lan blinked at Mo Hua, “Are you hoping for his death?”

Mo Hua nodded honestly and added, “A horrible death would suffice.”

Zhang Lan’s expression stiffened for a moment, then, after a moment’s thought, he felt Mo Hua was right. If Kong Sheng was dead, Qingxuan City would be rid of a calamity.

“That’s true, but we still have to search for him. Moreover, the Taoist Court of Qingxuan City will also send people over to search with us.”

“How many people will they send?”

“Not too many, at most three or four. Too few would be ineffective, too many would seem like interfering with our Taoist Court’s actions, inevitably breaching taboos.”

“Three or four is manageable,” Mo Hua nodded and then asked, “Isn’t the Kong Family sending anyone over?”

Zhang Lan took a sip of his drink and said meaningfully to Mo Hua:

(vitag.Init = window.vitag.Init || []).push(function(){viAPItag.display(“vi_765923973”)})

“Aren’t the people from Qingxuan City’s Taoist Court essentially the Kong Family’s people?”

“Oh~” Mo Hua understood.

It seemed like everyone was well aware of the situation in Qingxuan City.

The Kong Family acting through the Taoist Court was legitimate and also saved time and effort.

After all, the actions of the Taoist Court were much more convenient than theirs.

“This matter will probably still require your help,” Zhang Lan added.

“Not going,” Mo Hua flatly refused.

For other matters, he would have agreed for the sake of Zhang Lan’s face.

But for this matter, Mo Hua was certain he wouldn’t help.

For someone like Kong Sheng, he should be thankful that Mo Hua didn’t use the Earth Fire Formation to send him to the heavens, let alone waste time trying to save him.

“Don’t be hasty in refusing,” Zhang Lan said with a smile, “It’s not about saving Kong Sheng, but aren’t you interested in capturing those Sin Cultivators?”

“The Bald Tuo?”

(vitag.Init = window.vitag.Init || []).push(function(){viAPItag.display(“vi_765923973”)})

“Exactly,” Zhang Lan nodded, “Leaving him in the mountain is always troublesome. If he gathers more Sin Cultivators and they become a force, it would make your Monster Hunts in the mountain much more dangerous.”

Still, Mo Hua was reluctant.

Zhang Lan then said, “After the matter is concluded, the Taoist Court will give you a reward.”

“A reward?” Mo Hua’s eyes lit up, “What kind of reward?”

“You’ll know when the time comes, and it won’t be disappointing,” Zhang Lan said with a smile.

“Just tell me now.”

Mo Hua was curious about what kind of reward the Taoist Court was going to offer him.

Yet Zhang Lan played coy and wasn’t willing to disclose it, only saying, “Help us capture Bald Tuo, and naturally you will see what the reward is.”

Mo Hua blinked, and with a grin, said, “If you don’t tell me, I won’t help.”

Zhang Lan wasn’t swayed by his tactics and said with a teasing smile, “Then forget it, but don’t regret it later.”

Uncle Zhang Lan sure is crafty… No rabbit, no eagle.

Mo Hua sighed and said, “Fine.”

Anyway, he also wanted to catch that Bald Tuo. With this opportunity coming up, it was perfect for him to fleece the Taoist Court a bit.
