Demon Path rogues...
Mo Hua then recalled the mysterious Taoist that Mr. Zhuang had mentioned, who should not be seen, spoken of, and ideally not even thought about.
"It can't be such a coincidence..."
Mo Hua muttered.
If that were the case...
The Taoist who passed the Evil Pill Recipe for lifespan conversion to the Patriarch of the Qian Family, and the Evil Path Great Formation Diagram of Ten Thousand Corpses to Lu Chengyun, probably also passed some spell points of forbidden Demon Path to some Cultivators with ill intentions...
What was his aim?
To create Taoist Demons?
Are such natural disasters of heaven and earth really something that can be "mass-produced" by human means?
Or does this Taoist have some other, deeper scheme?
Mo Hua frowned in deep thought.
As he pondered, he became somewhat entranced.
All of a sudden, an extremely cold and terrifying sense of dread surged up within him.
A silhouette of a Taoist emerged in Mo Hua's heart.
The silhouette of the Taoist was like black ink.
All around were withered black lines.
However, these lines began to coalesce and take shape.
The face of the Taoist became clearer, and a pair of eyes slowly opened, deep and hollow, inching their gaze towards Mo Hua.
Mo Hua did not know who he was, but in an instant, he knew the Taoist's name:
"Gui Tao!"
The seeker of the Dao who was half-ghost and half-mysterious.
Mo Hua was shocked and quickly calmed his mind to meditate, dismissing all thoughts.
But the more he tried not to think about it, the more involuntarily he did, and the words "Gui Tao" almost slipped from his lips.
Mo Hua had a feeling that once he uttered the words "Gui Tao," he would be immediately discovered by this Taoist.
```
"Don't recite it, don't recite it!"
Mo Hua kept admonishing himself.
But while he was strongly inhibiting his mind, his mouth suddenly moved on its own and he recited the first character "Gui"...
The Taoist's hollow gaze suddenly sparkled with life, silently turning his head, ready to focus his attention directly on Mo Hua.
A chill went down Mo Hua's spine, and in his desperation, he quickly pinched his own cheek.
The fair little face was marked with two finger imprints by his own pinching.
Mo Hua winced in pain, hissing softly, and managed not to recite the full name "Gui Tao's people."
Since the name wasn't recited, Mo Hua had a moment to catch his breath.
What to do?
In a stroke of inspiration, Mo Hua quickly took out his Spiritual Ink, dipped his finger in the ink, and using his Divine Sense to connect with the Earth Dao Meaning, he began to draw the Thick Earth Formation on the ground.
Once he began Drawing Formation, his Divine Sense became focused, no longer wandering aimlessly.
He wouldn't even think about reciting any names.
And the Earth Dao Meaning he was connecting with also occupied Mo Hua's mind.
A hint of ancient meaning began to diffuse, gradually overshadowing the aura of Gui Tao's people...
...
Meanwhile, in a hillside overgrown with withered trees.
The sitting "Sun Yi" opened his eyes.
His body was filthy, clad in a dirty Taoist Robe that the deceased had worn, his eyes black and vacant, his voice hoarse and sticky:
"Who..."
"...desires to recite my name?"
"So familiar..."
He closed his eyes to sense, then suddenly opened them again, his usually empty gaze carrying a hint of confusion:
"Earth Dao Meaning?"
"Disciple of Earth Sect?"
"How could it be..."
