Mo Hua was startled and immediately lay flat on the roof beam, motionless.
At the same time, a Divine Sense roughly swept over him but failed to see through his concealment.
The burly man withdrew his Divine Sense, finding nothing, and bellowed angrily, “Who’s there, sneaking around?”
The middle-aged cultivator frowned and also released his Divine Sense, scanning the surroundings.
A noticeably deeper Divine Sense passed through the roof beam, condensed upon Mo Hua, and penetrated the concealment of the Concealment Formation on him.
However, beneath the Concealment Formation, there was another layer of concealment from a Concealment Technique.
It was already night, and the roof beam was dark; even a mediocre Concealment Technique would not be easily detected.
The middle-aged cultivator saw through one layer of concealment but still did not discover Mo Hua, and after a moment of hesitation, he too withdrew his Divine Sense and said indifferently,
“There’s no one here; there’s no need to be so paranoid.”
The burly man said, “That’s impossible—someone is watching me!”
The middle-aged cultivator glanced at him, “Nonsense, am I not looking at you?”
The burly man did not respond, his expression still carrying a fierce air, “No, there must be someone spying in secret!”
Mo Hua felt a sinking feeling in his heart, tensing up.
The middle-aged cultivator retorted, “Are you suggesting someone sneaked in?”
“It’s not impossible,” said the burly man.
The middle-aged cultivator gave a contemptuous smile, “Do you know where this is?”
Before the burly man could reply, the middle-aged cultivator scoffed:
“This is the deep mountains of Big Black Mountain, the stronghold where we Evil Cultivators live and establish ourselves!”
“The entrance has a Concealment Formation I laid down, the high walls have a Compound Formation I arranged, each room, each tile and each brick, was marked with a Formation by me.”
“Which ordinary cultivator can discover this stronghold, dare to come here, let alone enter this stronghold? And even more so, who would dare spy under our noses?”
Mo Hua listened and was secretly astonished.
This middle-aged cultivator turned out to be that Formation Master, and what’s more, a Foundation Building Cultivator!
With the middle-aged cultivator claiming no one was present, the burly man wanted to argue but couldn’t.
He was less experienced than the middle-aged cultivator; knew nothing of Formations; and his Divine Sense was far inferior.
If the middle-aged cultivator said there was no one, then there probably was no one.
The bloodshot in the burly man’s eyes slowly faded, the fierceness dissipated, and he apologized with a cupped fist gesture,
“Third brother, please don’t be offended; it was my presumption.”
The middle-aged Formation Master’s expression softened slightly, nodded, and did not take it to heart, instead asking,
“Did you go without drinking blood tonight?”
The burly man nodded, “I didn’t drink. I had some liquor and felt a bit restless.”
After speaking, the bloodshot in the burly man’s eyes started to appear again.
Bloodthirsty and restless, so suspicious and paranoid.
The middle-aged Formation Master understood, his gaze turning slightly serious, and said,
“Find some time to drink some blood. Don’t let it disturb your state of mind and ruin the big picture.”
The burly man nodded, feeling an increasing thirst in his throat, the liquor making him thirstier and his mood more irritable, always feeling like someone was secretly watching him.
This sensation was extremely uncomfortable.
The bloodshot in the burly man’s eyes grew denser, his eyes almost completely red, and he stood up and said with a fist in hand,
“I’ll take my leave first.”
The middle-aged Formation Master asked, “Human blood might not be enough, do you need to drink Monster Blood? Do you want me to help?”
The burly man replied, “No need, third brother, you’ve got a lot on your plate, and I wouldn’t want to bother you.”
After speaking, the burly man left. The middle-aged Formation Master sat for a while, finished his drink, and then entered the depths behind the stronghold.
Mo Hua waited in the same spot for two hours to make sure that both men had really gone and were not pretending to fool him, then he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
“Elder Yu was right, the effect of these two layers of concealment is that as long as I stay still, even Foundation Establishment Stage cultivators might not be able to find me.”
Especially that middle-aged cultivator, who was also a Formation Master, yet he failed to detect the concealed Mo Hua.
This undoubtedly showed how hidden Mo Hua’s method of concealment was.
But Mo Hua did not dare to be complacent.
Eavesdropping under the eye of a Foundation Establishment Evil Cultivator was still a very dangerous matter; even if they could not detect him, it’s best not to take such risks again.
Mo Hua warned himself.
If his Concealment Technique was truly exposed, even with the Water Passing Step movement technique, he might not be able to escape from a Foundation Establishment cultivator’s hands.
