The Fire Buddha, scanning through the Spiritual Realm, immediately spotted a faint, small shadow within the mountain forest.
He flicked his hand, sending out several sparks of fiery rain, carrying molten fire like darting arrows, directly toward the shadow.
The small figure flashed away in an instant, narrowly evading the fiery rain.
The fire struck the mountain stones with a resounding “boom,” carving deep scorch marks that billowed with white smoke.
Missing the first strike, the Fire Buddha snorted coldly, probing again through the Spiritual Realm to locate Mo Hua’s concealed figure.
*Mo Hua was speechless.*
*The great Fire Buddha, all for capturing one small cultivator like himself, had to resort to such extremes?*
*First the ambush.*
*Then blocking all exits.*
*Even bringing a specialized Spiritual Artifact designed to counter his concealment.*
*When he wiped out the entire Xie family, it was likely just one burn of molten fire that slaughtered everyone in his path, without even needing this much effort…*
But as things stood, Mo Hua was out of options.
He could only hope Uncle Gu would hurry to save him.
That would give him either the chance to escape or the opportunity to counterattack.
Until then, he could only try his best to stall and outmaneuver the Fire Buddha.
Meanwhile, on another path,
Gu Changhuai was riding his Spirit Horse, returning from Bishan City to Qian Learning State Boundary.
He felt a growing sense of unease, suspecting the Fire Buddha’s escape route lacked subtlety, seeming almost too straightforward.
*It was almost as if it was meant to mislead.*
Gu Changhuai then thought of Mo Hua, who was returning to the sect alone, and found himself growing increasingly worried.
So he decided to head to the Qian Learning State Boundary alone to investigate.
Midway through his journey, his Letter Token suddenly stirred. Gu Changhuai pulled it out and saw the messages sent by Mo Hua:
“The Fire Buddha wants to kill me!”
Gu Changhuai was shocked to his core, nearly gasping for breath.
The Fire Buddha!
He was pursuing Mo Hua!
The Letter Token also included coordinates for a spot on Qingcheng Mountain.
Gu Changhuai took a deep breath and immediately urged his horse into a gallop, racing full-speed toward Mo Hua’s location.
At the same time, he began mobilizing all Enforcement Leaders in the vicinity, directing them toward Qingcheng Mountain.
“Search the mountain thoroughly, encircle, and kill the Fire Buddha!”
As the sun set in the west, the night deepened.
The Spirit Horse galloped faster and faster, the scenery on both sides blurring into streaks behind them.
Gu Changhuai looked at the distant horizon, his heart ablaze with anxiety, murmuring under his breath:
“Kid, don’t you dare die on me…”
Time flew by, and midnight arrived in no time.
Mo Hua and the Fire Buddha had spent most of the night in the mountains “playing hide-and-seek.”
Mo Hua was panting heavily, utterly exhausted.
The Fire Buddha also wore an expression of disbelief.
*He couldn’t catch him.*
*No matter what, he just couldn’t catch him.*
Despite his peak Foundation Establishment cultivation and the invisibility-breaking Spiritual Artifact he specially prepared, the labyrinthine terrain of the mountain forest made it utterly impossible to corner this little pest.
It was an unfamiliar, desolate wilderness, yet the boy moved as though it was his own backyard.
His movement technique was excellent, his concealment impressive.
He could hide almost anywhere.
At times, he even used Monster Beasts to pit the tiger against the “wolf,” hindering the Fire Buddha’s actions.
*This was frustrating for someone like the Fire Buddha, who had always relied on brute force to dominate.*
*This little brat—could he be a Monster Beast in disguise?*
*Once he darted into the wilderness, he moved like a fish in the sea, like a falcon soaring through the skies.*
*He completely miscalculated.*
