However, the evidence was still scarce...
Physical appearance, kasaya, the scar from a burn mark...
These could only prove that this person somewhat resembled the Fire Buddha. It's not like there were no other Buddhist believers in the world, cultivators with burnt scars donning kasayas.
Gu Changhuai frowned and said, "Are there any other clues proving he is the Fire Buddha?"
Mo Hua thought for a moment and said, "He is proficient in fire spells, and when he casts spells, two fierce flames ignite inside him, as if he had two hearts..."
Gu Changhuai shuddered inside and exclaimed, "He took action?"
"He did."
Gu Changhuai's gaze hardened as he looked at Mo Hua. "And you escaped?"
"Uh-huh," Mo Hua nodded, "As soon as he made his move, I ran."
"How did you escape?"
Mo Hua felt this question was rather redundant, "Of course, I ran with my legs..."
Gu Changhuai was somewhat frustrated.
"I meant to ask you..."
Gu Changhuai calmed his emotions, and as he was halfway through his reply, he suddenly paused, his gaze darkened, and he said no more.
There are indeed certain things that should not be asked excessively.
Especially the means by which a cultivator preserves their life...
It's just that Mo Hua, in his eyes, was becoming more and more enigmatic...
"Do you know where the Fire Buddha went?" Gu Changhuai asked solemnly.
Mo Hua shook his head, "I was lucky to get away, where would I dare to follow them..."
"Where did you encounter them?"
"On the outskirts of Luan Mountain City..."
Mo Hua thought a bit and then got more specific, "Between the mountain paths outside Luan Mountain City and Bishan City, there is a stretch of forest and a small tea house..."
"The mountain path junction between Luan Mountain City and Bishan City..."
Gu Changhuai nodded, "Alright, I got it. I'll go check it out myself with some people. If the situation turns out to be true..."
Gu Changhuai glanced at Mo Hua, "I will compensate you with Merit Points."
Mo Hua was thrilled inside, "Thank you, Uncle Gu."
Gu Changhuai nodded, his brows furrowed in deep thought.
"Uncle Gu," Mo Hua asked quietly, "what exactly does the Fire Buddha intend to do by suddenly showing up?"
Gu Changhuai shook his head, "I don't know, don't worry about it, and don't get involved anymore."
After saying this, Gu Changhuai put his documents in order and hurriedly left the room.
He also summoned several teams of Enforcement Leaders, dividing them to act separately as if to trace the Fire Buddha's whereabouts.
Mo Hua really wanted to join them, but without having to think, he knew Uncle Gu would definitely disagree, so he could only return to the Sect with his senior brothers and sisters.
After returning to the Sect, Mo Hua still had this matter on his mind.
How could they catch the Fire Buddha?
How could he obtain the cultivation spell for the "Meteor Fire Skill," a forbidden technique, from the Fire Buddha?
And the Fire Buddha, his face wearing compassion while slaughtering mercilessly...
What exactly did he intend to do by suddenly appearing?
With too few related clues, Mo Hua just couldn't understand it.
So he asked Senior Sister Murong for help, to gather some news.
He faintly felt that since the Fire Buddha had appeared, he must be up to something...
Several days later, Murong Caiyun found Mo Hua and hesitated for a moment before she spoke with a grave expression:
"The Xie family of Bishan City has been annihilated by the Fire Buddha."
"The Xie family has become a sea of fire; men, women, the elderly, children, all were burned to ash without survivors..."
