The Expose Dust Formation at the door was undone by Mo Hua, so it didn't reveal his figure.
Mo Hua sneaked out of the door, looking around all the somewhat eerie chambers one by one.
These chambers, though secretive, did not contain many secrets.
Even if he discovered them himself, it was unlikely that Lu Chengyun would care.
Indeed, after Mo Hua's lengthy investigation, Lu Chengyun's Divine Sense showed no fluctuations whatsoever.
Mo Hua checked around, uncovered some superficial secrets, and then returned to the chamber, lying down on the bed again.
A moment later, Lu Chengyun's Divine Sense withdrew.
The next day, when Lu Chengyun saw Mo Hua, he didn't say anything.
But Mo Hua acted as though he was feeling "guilty," his gaze somewhat evasive.
Lu Chengyun appeared indifferent, and after Mo Hua left, the corner of his mouth revealed a smile as if everything was under control.
"So it's a Concealment Formation..."
Lu Chengyun shook his head slightly, "A mere trifle, how could it deceive the heavens and cross the sea..."
Indeed, Mo Hua's subsequent actions didn't escape Lu Chengyun's notice.
After Mo Hua concealed his figure, wherever he went, Lu Chengyun knew every detail.
After several days, Lu Chengyun also became a bit negligent.
The places Mo Hua visited, the secrets he discovered, were utterly inconsequential.
That night, Mo Hua invisibly went out as usual, strolling around, and upon return, found that Lu Chengyun's Divine Sense had already been withdrawn early.
It seemed he had lost interest in Mo Hua.
Mo Hua lay on the bed, not moving.
Sure enough, after a short while, Lu Chengyun's Divine Sense returned.
Mo Hua continued to feign sleep honestly.
This went on three or four times until after 1 a.m. when Lu Chengyun finally settled down.
Mo Hua felt a bit worn out.
This Lu Chengyun really was extremely suspicious...
For a good long while, there was no Divine Sense probing.
Mo Hua then quietly got up from the bed, donned a cloak of invisibility, used the Concealment Technique, and with a double concealment, further constricted his Divine Sense to the utmost, and quietly left the room.
A wary rabbit has three burrows, as Elder Yu taught him.
By day, he roamed the Corpse Mine openly and honorably;
By night, he activated the Concealment Formation to probe some trivial secrets right under Lu Chengyun's nose;
When Lu Chengyun relaxed his vigilance, he then employed full concealment, unbeknownst to gods and ghosts, to peek at the true secrets within the Corpse Mine...
Like, how many Iron Corpses are there in this Corpse Mine? How many Walking Corpses?
What is the Formation used for Corpse Refinement?
Where is the Spiritual Pivot Formation?
What exactly is the Lu Family's conspiracy?
...
Mo Hua wanted to know a lot of things.
First, he went to several sealed chambers and quietly made a small opening to peek inside and indeed found iron coffins concealed within.
Inside the iron coffins lay Iron Corpses.
Similar sealed chambers like these, Mo Hua counted during the day; there were over ten of them.
That is to say, there might be more than ten Iron Corpses, and possibly even more...
Besides, there were also some secret rooms.
Inside these secret rooms, there were also altars with offerings on them.
However, the offerings were no longer the likes of Ancestral Master Pictures.
Instead, they were various bizarre items, such as monster sculptures and zombie limbs.
Mo Hua didn't quite understand.
And there were some places, due to time constraints, that Mo Hua hadn't managed to visit.
Wandering around, Mo Hua arrived at the main entrance.
This main entrance was the door to the Stone Palace.
What separated here was the Stone Palace from the outside mine shafts.
Inside the Stone Palace, there were many chambers for the corpse cultivators to reside.
The corpse cultivators lived, refined corpses, and controlled corpses all within the Stone Palace.
Outside the Stone Palace were the mine shafts.
Mo Hua only glanced at it when he came in, a pitch-black expanse filled with coffins, very strange indeed.
Mo Hua wanted to take a look at the mine shafts, but in front of him was the large door.
Above the door, Formation was inscribed.
After Divine Sense Calculation, Mo Hua found that he could unravel this Formation, but once he did, he would inevitably alarm Lu Chengyun, so he couldn't act yet.
At that moment, Mo Hua heard the sound of bells coming from outside the door.
After the ringing of bells, it seemed as if countless zombies were climbing out of their coffins, clinking and clanking, producing eerie noises, somehow busying themselves with something.
These sounds, bit by bit, merged into a river.
Even through the Sound Isolation Formation, it was jarringly loud and grating to the ear.
It was as if in the dead silence of the netherworld, corpses worked as if they were alive; the discordance was unsettling.
Mo Hua frowned.
"What exactly is this Lu Chengyun doing, refining so many zombies?"
"It can't be... he isn't mining with them, is he...?"
