Mo Hua insisted on going alone, and there was nothing the gatekeeper could do, only sighing to himself:
“These young disciples really don’t understand the dangers…”
And so, Mo Hua walked into the mountain gate of the Refining Demon Mountain.
A moment later, a handsome man with a leisurely demeanor walked by.
Upon seeing him, the gatekeeper immediately bowed and said:
“Elder Xun.”
The man addressed as “Elder Xun” nodded slightly and casually said, “I’m going in to take a look.”
“Yes.”
The gatekeeper respectfully let him pass.
Elder Xun entered the mountain gate, looking up at the winding mountain path.
At that moment, on the mountain path, a young boy dressed in a Taixu Taoist Robe, walked heroically uphill.
Elder Xun slightly shook his head.
“The old ancestor really, if he’s so worried about his safety, should just confine him inside the Sect, and not let him out…”
“Even if he’s let out, he shouldn’t be let into this Refining Demon Mountain, it’s just begging for trouble…”
“This child too, does he not know his own cultivation level and strength? Wandering alone in Refining Demon Mountain, truly he’s not afraid of death…”
While Elder Xun was inwardly criticizing, suddenly he saw Mo Hua’s figure halt and pause mid-step, then turn around and look down the mountain.
Elder Xun instinctively dodged aside, hiding.
Mo Hua stood on the mountain path, looking downwards.
After looking for a long time and seeing no suspicious figures, he tilted his head, his gaze perplexed, and silently muttered:
“Did I sense wrong?”
“Just now, someone was clearly watching me, even probing me with Divine Sense, and seemed to be speaking ill of me in their mind…”
“How come in the blink of an eye, there’s not even a single figure?”
Mo Hua glanced left and right, surveyed his surroundings again, then shook his head, muttering: “It must be an illusion.”
Afterwards, he turned around and continued walking up the mountain.
After Mo Hua left, Elder Xun slowly appeared, watching Mo Hua who had already disappeared on the mountain path, his gaze somewhat trembling.
