A day later, there was another message:
“…the Elder said, killing it would be a waste; use the cat to lure the dog, eat the dog first, then the cat…”
…
Mo Hua’s heart chilled.
The outline of the matter became clearer.
“Cat,” should refer to the “informant” of the Taoist Court.
“Dog,” refers to the “dog” of the Taoist Court.
The Taoist Court must have used some method to plant an “informant” within the Demon Sect.
But this informant, for some reason, was discovered by the Demon Sect.
The Demon Sect then took advantage of the situation, using the “informant” to set a trap to lure the Taoist Court cultivators.
Mo Hua immediately took out the Letter Token and messaged Gu Changhuai:
“Uncle Gu, the informant within the Demon Sect has been exposed.”
“Uncle Gu, beware of the Demon Sect’s ambush.”
“Uncle Gu…”
But Gu Changhuai still didn’t reply with any message.
Mo Hua had no choice but to send it to Xia Canonical Official, but similarly, it sank into the sea with no response.
“Can’t get in touch…”
Mo Hua frowned deeply.
He could almost be certain that Uncle Gu and the others must have received the “informant’s” intelligence, and then went on a mission.
But this “information” was false in itself.
“I hope Uncle Gu and the others can sense it in time…”
But the more Mo Hua thought about it, the less hopeful he felt.
The “informant” lurking in the Demon Sect didn’t know they had been exposed.
The information they obtained was undoubtedly believed to be true.
It’s even highly possible that this message was “true,” deliberately released by the Demon Sect as true information, used as “live bait” for fishing.
In such circumstances, the Taoist Court certainly wouldn’t suspect.
This “bait,” for sure, they would take.
Otherwise, he wouldn’t have this intense “unease.”
And as the warning sign in his heart grew stronger, Mo Hua could even conclude that the Taoist Court’s cultivators were already stepping into the Demon Sect’s trap.
“What should I do?”
Mo Hua wore a grave expression.
Find the Gu Family? It seems useless.
This is a confidential mission of the Taoist Court, and the Gu Family may not know the details.
The Gu Family cultivators who know the details would certainly be executing the mission with Uncle Gu, also treading the “path to death.”
Find the Taoist Court? Find Master Xia?
Elder Zheng’s words were still echoing in his ears, and matters of the Thunder Magnetism Formation mustn’t be told to anyone.
