579: Sending Big Brother Off_2
Mo Hua shook his head.
Being only at the initial stage of Foundation Establishment, he didn’t have such capability…
Moreover, this was Qian State, not the Second Grade Big Black Mountain State Boundary where high-ranking cultivators were as common as clouds.
Without any power, background, or acquaintances, no one would cover for him.
He had no right to meddle in these affairs.
“Forget it, better ensure my own safety first…”
...
When near Qingzhou City, he would find a chance to slip away secretly.
The urgent matter at hand was to join a sect.
This was the priority, he couldn’t afford to waste time on other things.
At most, after arriving in Qingzhou City, he could report to the Taoist Court and let the Taoist Court Officials worry about the rest. As a minor Foundation Establishment cultivator, he couldn’t manage that much…
But that calculative “Mr. Tu,” he might need to keep an eye on him…
Mo Hua remembered the name “Mr. Tu,” then continued practicing formations on the Taoist Stele.
The next day, after waking up, Mo Hua continued on the road with everyone.
After traveling for several days, Qingzhou City was less than a hundred miles away.
Mo Hua felt it was time to make his move; it was time for him to slip away.
The vast world was his to explore, but entering a sect was paramount.
He no longer had time to play with them.
However, when they arrived at a mountain forest to take a short rest, Boss Jiang suddenly pulled out an iron bracelet and handed it to Mo Hua, saying coldly:
“Put it on.”
Mo Hua was stunned, “What is this?”
“Don’t ask, just put it on.”
Boss Jiang’s tone was indifferent.
The other cultivators also looked towards Mo Hua, their smiles sinister.
Mo Hua said “fearfully,” “I… I won’t put it on…”
A burly man sneered, “That’s not up to you…”
“Aren’t you… supposed to be taking me to find my master?”
Mo Hua stammered, while quietly releasing his Divine Sense, preparing to find a corner to escape unnoticed by utilizing the Water Passing Step and then conceal himself in the underbrush with the Concealment Technique.
The First Grade Concealment Technique had slightly poorer effects.
But he was small in stature, and with the help of the underbrush to blur the line of sight, it would be enough to shake off these people.
The slave traders were unaware of Mo Hua’s thoughts.
Boss Jiang smiled faintly, yet it seemed fake, as if he was grinning without really smiling:
“If you wear this bracelet, we will take you to find your master…”
“Really?”
Mo Hua’s face showed naivety, but he had already secretly begun to channel his energy, with the heels of his feet slightly lifting off the ground.
Boss Jiang was about to say something when suddenly, a big man in the crowd scoffed:
“Find your master?”
“You naive fool!”
“Who would be so bored as to actually take you to find your master who’s whereabouts are unknown…”
The surroundings fell silent for a moment.
The expression on Mo Hua’s face gradually faded, and his eyes turned cold, with a trace of pitch-black shadow surfacing in their depths.
However, these changes were fleeting, gone in an instant, and went unnoticed by anyone.
Boss Jiang’s gaze was sharp like a sword as he suddenly looked towards the big man.
The big man closed his mouth in discontent.
Boss Jiang turned to Mo Hua, saying gently:
“Young brother, don’t mind their words…”
“We do intend to take you to your master.”
“This bracelet is a Spiritual Artifact; it is both to protect you and to prevent you from getting lost, making it impossible for us to find you. You should wear it… it’s for your own good…”
Boss Jiang’s tone was gentle, but his gaze was cold and uncompromising.
