...
After Situ Fang finished explaining everything, she sighed,
"The Taoist Court has issued a warrant. If we catch him, these things should come to light."
Then she looked at Mo Hua, still a bit worried,
"Be careful these days."
"That day at the Hundred Flower Tower, he tried everything he could to kill you. Now that he has escaped to the shadows, he might make a move against you..."
Mo Hua nodded, "Mhm, I am aware."
Still, Situ Fang felt uneasy.
Mo Hua then said, "Don’t worry, I’m with my Senior Brother and Sister; they’ll protect me."
Relieved, Situ Fang chatted for a moment, drank a few cups of tea, and then left.
But Mo Hua’s gaze grew sharp.
His own Divine Sense was strong, and he knew the Concealment Technique; it was impossible for Zhang Quan to find him.
And now, it wasn’t him looking for Mo Hua, but Mo Hua who was searching for him.
Young Mo Hua was the hunter, and this Foundation Establishment Stage Zhang Quan was the prey.
In the following days, whenever Mo Hua had time, he would take out the Compass Disk and check for any movements.
Three days later in the afternoon, lights finally appeared on the compass.
Two light points shone together, but another was somewhat dim.
It seemed that Zhang Quan had found a needle, so he twisted it off and threw it away.
The other two needles, he had not found, so they should still be on his person.
Mo Hua’s spirits lifted.
Finally, he had made a mistake...
Mo Hua then took out a map of South Yue City and saw that the location of the lights was in a deserted mine outside the city.
There were many mines outside South Yue City.
Some belonged to the Lu Family, some to South Yue Sect, some to the Taoist Court, and others were occupied by deceased individuals or various other clans and sects.
Some mines were actively being extracted from; some had not been mined due to various reasons;
And some mines were exhausted and abandoned.
The place where Zhang Quan was hiding was one such abandoned mine.
Mo Hua and his two companions, cloaked and concealed, left South Yue City and headed to the mine where Zhang Quan was hiding.
It was a small and unkempt mine.
Being abandoned, it lacked any sign of life.
Instead, the area was permeated with the stale stench of death.
With a sweep of his Divine Sense, Mo Hua’s gaze grew cold.
Inside the mine, there were several sinister auras.
Perhaps the corpses of the mining cultivators that Zhang Quan had purchased were hidden here.
