Elder Zhao lightly sighed, "Young Master Mo, I don’t want to harm you either... I’ve altered the formation design, changed the formation pivot, and set up many blinding techniques, afraid you’d discover it, but today you still saw through it at a glance..."
"The blame lies in your formidable talent in formations... making it difficult for me."
Mo Hua’s expression turned solemn, "Don’t forget my identity, I’m a disciple of the Qianxue fifth-grade Great Sect."
Elder Zhao shook his head, "The Canglang Sect is on the brink of disaster, and the Qianxue fifth-grade Great Sect is far away, with the urgency of the situation, I can’t afford to think that far."
Mo Hua’s eyes flickered with a trace of panic, but he still pretended to be calm:
"You dare not kill me! If you kill me, the Sect Leader will know it all."
Before Elder Zhao could speak, an elder in the crowd said:
"Brother Zhao, why waste words with this brat, kill him, and then take one step at a time. Otherwise, if he goes to leak the secret, we’re all doomed."
Others echoed:
"Elder, that’s right, let’s kill this brat first."
The swords and knives came closer to Mo Hua’s heart.
Mo Hua’s face turned slightly pale.
Elder Zhao watched this scene, suddenly sighed, and said:
"Young Master Mo, I truly envy your talent, I truly admire your abilities, I also do not wish to kill you..."
Mo Hua frowned, "What do you mean to say?"
Elder Zhao said, "Young Master Mo, as long as you promise not to reveal today’s matter, I will let you go without harming you."
Mo Hua’s face turned unpleasant, "You want me to betray the Sect Leader?"
Elder Zhao said indifferently, "You aren’t even a disciple of the Canglang Sect, how is it considered a betrayal?"
Mo Hua’s expression became serious, "The Sect Leader has shown me great kindness, even willing to extend the state road to Tongxian City for my sake, with such kindness, how could I betray him?"
Elder Zhao laughed coldly, looking at Mo Hua, feeling he was very naive, "Do you truly believe the Sect Leader values you? That he truly will coexist and prosper with Tongxian City?"
Mo Hua’s face changed slightly, "What do you mean?"
Elder Zhao’s gaze turned icy, "The Sect Leader has been using you from the start, using your lineage, your talent, your reputation."
"Under his leadership, the Canglang Sect has become tyrannical, indulging in extravagance. The nearby Immortal Cities have become ’puppets’ being bled dry."
"The current state road expansion, leading to Big Black Mountain, is not for so-called ’coexistence and prosperity’, but to annex Tongxian City, using it as nourishment to strengthen the Canglang Sect."
"If you truly help him, you’re aiding a tyrant, delivering Tongxian City to a wolf’s mouth."
"From then on, all cultivators in Tongxian City will live in dire straits."
"And you, who were once praised as the genius of formations, will become the sinner of Tongxian City, cursed by thousands..."
Elder Zhao’s words were like a dagger to the heart.
Mo Hua’s face turned pale, like an innocent youth witnessing the wickedness of human nature for the first time, his entire worldview collapsing.
"Sect Leader... he’s been scheming against me... he doesn’t truly care for me..." Mo Hua said in disbelief.
