Elder Su sighed and said, "Young Gentleman, you truly have a broad heart..."
Although Elder Su's flattery always seemed a bit awkward, Mo Hua still felt quite pleased when he heard it.
Mo Hua's face was smiling, but he humbly said:
"Not at all, not at all."
Seeing that Mo Hua held no grudges against him, Elder Su's heart settled down.
The atmosphere became much warmer as a result.
The two of them chatted about Formation Arrays as usual and talked about mundane matters.
As they talked, the conversation turned to Jinhua Street and the Hundred Flower Tower...
Elder Su expressed his gratitude:
"I have to thank you for what happened at Jinhua Street."
Mo Hua nodded his head but then seemed puzzled, "Jinhua Street has been demolished, Elder, so you can't go to the Hundred Flower Tower to listen to music anymore, right? You're thanking me for this?"
Elder Su's face turned red, "No, it's not like that, I'm really not familiar..."
Mo Hua obviously did not believe him.
Seeing the keen look in Mo Hua's eyes, Elder Su knew that he knew everything and no longer hid anything, but his expression turned wistful:
"The music is soothing to the ears, and the ladies are pleasing to the eye."
"Not being able to hear or see it is indeed a regret."
"But these are just minor personal desires, they don't count for much."
"What I hope for more is that no one in this world will have to live a life adrift in the dust, and no young woman will have to suffer misfortune like Shuixian..."
Mo Hua was taken aback, then lifted his teacup and crisply said:
"I shall drink this tea in place of wine to honor the Elder."
Elder Su, caught between laughter and tears, still raised his cup and drank tea with Mo Hua...
...
The affairs of South Yue City had essentially come to a close.
The mines were built, and the Formation Arrays perfected.
The Mining Cultivators of South Yue City could now earn Spirit Stones through their own efforts, make a living, and live a steady and secure life.
Apart from that, the countless zombies also had to be burned.
The Corpse Burning Formation of the Taoist Court had been built.
The Corpse Burning Formation was a Compound Formation, constructed atop the cemetery hill, made up of many Fire-series Single Formations, covering a vast area. When activated, the flames surged upwards, turning the entire cemetery hill a crimson red as if it had become a Flaming Mountain.
All the zombies of South Yue City queued up to be cremated.
Mo Hua controlled the Walking Corpses, leading them into the Corpse Burning Formation in batches, burning away their bodies, dissipating the Corpse Qi, and eliminating the Corpse Poison.
All the zombies had to be cremated.
This process took a long time.
And the only one not cremated was that little zombie.
It had not touched any bloodshed, had committed no evil acts, and had even helped Mo Hua.
Mo Hua, with a sense of compassion, laid down a Formation Array, vented its Corpse Qi, and buried it on a secluded but serene little hill in the cemetery.
The hill was desolate, yet tranquil, undisturbed by anyone.
When evening came, and the sun set in the west, the afterglow would scatter over the hill and over the little grave that Mo Hua had erected for the tiny creature...
