657 Year 1_2 657 Year 1_2 “Fire Buddha is dead!”
“Qingcheng Mountain, Severed Head Eye, right side of the valley, come quickly!”
After sending the message, Mo Hua turned back to look at Fire Buddha.
The imbalance of Fire Buddha’s Evil Artifact and the out-of-control Evil Power caused a self-explosion, which was immensely powerful, leaving truly nothing—not even “remnants” behind.
Such a pity…
Mo Hua frowned slightly; he still had many things to ask Fire Buddha.
Why annihilate the Xie family to extinction?
Just to cultivate evil and practice skills?
After exterminating the Xie family, what exactly did he do?
For whom was the Demon Palace built?
And who was the honored lord it enshrined?
…
Now that Fire Buddha was dead, these questions would remain unanswered for a while.
But it’s just as well that he died, died quite cleanly, sparing the world from further calamity.
The other matters can be slowly investigated later…
Mo Hua glanced again at where Fire Buddha’s “bones no longer existed” and sighed.
Killing this Fire Buddha proved to be extraordinarily difficult.
Fortunately, he was still killed in the end.
Afterward, Mo Hua set up some Formations on the spot, keeping an eye on Uncle Gu’s life force to prevent a “sudden death” and quietly waiting for others to arrive.
After a while, people indeed arrived.
It was Gu An and Gu Quan.
Seeing Young Master Changhuai in a pitiable and bloody state, barely clinging to life, nearly scared their souls away.
“He’s still alive!” Mo Hua said.
Only then did Gu An and Gu Quan feel relieved.
Mo Hua said, “Call a few Pill Masters over for emergency aid, and once you confirm he’s stable, send Uncle Gu back to the Gu Family to recuperate in peace.”
Gu An and Gu Quan bowed and said, “Yes, Young Master!”
After the destruction of the Demon’s Cave, the position of Mo Hua, the Junior Formation Master, in their hearts had risen rapidly. Now it was only slightly below that of their own young master.
Gu An immediately called for help using the Letter Token.
“Young Master…”
Gu Quan hesitated for a moment, looked around, then turned to Mo Hua with a frown and asked,
“What exactly happened here?”
Why has the entire valley changed? How did the young master sustain such severe injuries? Is Fire Buddha truly dead?
Both Gu An and Gu Quan were full of questions.
Mo Hua pondered for a moment, then said,
“Fire Buddha tried to kill me, I ran into the mountains, Uncle Gu came to rescue me, and then with all his strength, killed Fire Buddha, but was also seriously wounded himself!”
Gu An and Gu Quan nodded with a mixture of belief and doubt…
“Remember!” Mo Hua urged solemnly with a stern little face, “It was Uncle Gu alone, with all his might, who killed the evil Fire Buddha!”
“When people arrive later, proclaim this!”
Gu An and Gu Quan exchanged glances, slightly puzzled.
Mo Hua stretched out his two small hands, intending to pat their shoulders.
However, being tall, Gu An and Gu Quan’s shoulders were out of reach for the shorter-armed Mo Hua.
Gu An and Gu Quan, in silent agreement, squatted down to let Mo Hua reach their shoulders.
Mo Hua, having finally succeeded, nodded, then lowered his voice and said,
“You don’t want others to steal Uncle Gu’s credit, do you?”
Their expressions turned serious, now understanding the implication.
Fire Buddha was dead, Young Master Changhuai was seriously injured, and apart from Young Master Mo, no one else knew what had exactly happened here.
They knew of Young Master Mo’s capabilities.
But to others, Young Master Mo was just a child, of little influence—whatever he would say, others wouldn’t believe.
Thus, some with ulterior motives could easily make claims to the credit.
Gu An and Gu Quan became solemn.
