He probably stayed away intentionally, fearing he'd become enraged.
If he lost his wits and attacked me out of anger, it would be tantamount to defying Lu Chengyun and he certainly wouldn't come out of it well.
Mo Hua didn't seek out Zhang Quan.
It was pointless to look for him now, as it wasn't the time to reclaim the "Zombie Image."
Wandering around like this wasn't the solution.
On the surface, Mo Hua had familiarized himself with the basic layout of the Stone Palace, but that wasn't enough.
He needed to find a way to inquire about some hidden places.
Mo Hua wanted to try using the Concealment Technique.
The Expose Dust Formation and the Expose Shadow Formation were Formations not surpassing the first grade, and tinkering with them wouldn't be difficult.
The challenge lay in how not to get caught by Lu Chengyun.
After some thought, Mo Hua suddenly realized that not being discovered by Lu Chengyun was impossible.
It made more sense to be discovered by him.
Lu Chengyun was suspicious by nature; if I was too honest, it would surely raise his doubts.
It would be better to make some minor movements under his watch.
I thought I hadn't been detected by him, but in reality, he did detect it, so in turn, he wouldn't be suspicious.
Mo Hua's gaze flickered, and he had an idea.
He first put on a cloak, activated the Formation on it, and with the help of the Formation, concealed his figure.
Then he went to the door and quietly disabled the Expose Dust Formation.
The moment the Expose Dust Formation was disabled, it was indeed detected.
A stream of Divine Sense descended and swept back and forth inside Mo Hua's room, searching for Mo Hua's figure.
This Divine Sense belonged to Lu Chengyun.
Mo Hua was familiar with it.
In these past days, Divine Sense occasionally peered at Mo Hua.
Gentle, subtle, with a hint of coldness, it was hard to notice.
But in Mo Hua's perception, it was clear as day.
This wisp of Divine Sense was identical to Lu Chengyun's aura.
From this, Mo Hua deduced that Lu Chengyun's Divine Sense was also around the level of Twelve Stripes, and certainly not at Thirteen Stripes.
Comparable to himself, but slightly weaker.
Although Lu Chengyun's Cultivation was at the peak of the Foundation Establishment Initial Stage and he was also a Formation Master, it seemed that the strength of his Divine Sense was quite ordinary.
Compared to the average Cultivator, of course, it wasn't weak.
But compared to Mo Hua, it was somewhat inferior.
Previously, Mo Hua's Divine Sense was a solid Twelve Stripes.
Having refined several zombies from the Zhang Family ancestors, he was now nearing the peak of twelve stripes, but still hadn't reached thirteen.
Moreover, to break through to thirteen stripes, he estimated that he still had a distance to go.
Mo Hua immediately had some doubts:
"Lu Chengyun is at the peak of the Foundation Establishment Initial Stage and also studies Formation every day, so why hasn't his Divine Sense reached thirteen stripes?"
"Could it be because he draws Evil Formations daily, seeking shortcuts and failing to properly temper his Divine Sense?"
However, not having reached thirteen stripes was also good.
In the Corpse Mine, Lu Chengyun had the highest cultivation and the strongest Divine Sense.
His Divine Sense being weaker than thirteen stripes meant that, within the Corpse Mine, all the corpse cultivators, along with the Lu Family elders, would not have a stronger Divine Sense than him.
Moreover, he had always kept from revealing to Lu Chengyun that his Divine Sense had already reached Foundation Establishment.
Even Elder Su did not know.
So, in Lu Chengyun's perception, his Divine Sense should conform to the limit of a Qi Refinement cultivator, between nine to ten stripes.
Mo Hua's eyes flickered slightly.
With a weaker Divine Sense, and unaware of how strong his own was, that would be easy to handle.
Mo Hua activated the Concealment Formation, then no longer restrained his Divine Sense but released a bit of presence instead.
This bit of presence was enough for Lu Chengyun to perceive.
Indeed, after a short while, Mo Hua detected a faint Divine Sense resting upon him.
This strand of Divine Sense was Lu Chengyun's.
Mo Hua pretended not to notice and then sneaked out the door.
