Mo Hua felt somewhat disappointed.
Yu Chengyi then explained the origins of these sin cultivators and the cause of the events.
Most of these sin cultivators were cultivators from the Black Mountain State Boundary, with different identities; some from families, some from sects, others were loose cultivators.
Most of them had blood on their hands, were wanted by the Taoist Court, and were fleeing everywhere.
As Tongxian City gradually prospered and more cultivators traveled from south to north, they gathered on Big Black Mountain, killing and looting, robbing spirit stones.
Or they kidnapped cultivators to demand ransom, or simply murdered and looted, leaving bodies in the wilderness for the monster beasts to consume.
Ji Qingbai and his son, along with Fu Lan, fled Qingxuan City, and when the Kong Family’s cultivators failed to kill them, they encountered this group of sin cultivators on the way and directly paid them with spirit stones to continue the pursuit.
According to the Young Master of the Kong Family, Ji Qingbai and his son had beaten him, and he wanted their lives.
Fu Lan had defied him, so he wanted her to become his slave.
After the deed was done, the sin cultivators would receive a thousand spirit stones.
Elder Yu couldn’t help but curse, “That little beast, he won’t die a good death!”
Yu Chengyi also felt indignant and continued,
“We’ve also had some conflicts with these sin cultivators; they’ve been eyeing us for a long time. Fortunately, a dense fog suddenly arose today, and the Monster Hunters became separated. They found their chance and made a move.”
“It’s a pity we didn’t catch them all; two got away,” Mo Hua frowned.
Yu Chengyi said, “It’s already not bad. With fewer people, they won’t be able to cause much trouble for a while. They probably won’t be able to stir up any disturbances soon.”
“Can we catch them?”
“I’ve already alerted the Monster Hunters, but Inner Mountain is quite vast, it won’t be easy to catch them quickly.”
“Alright then,” Mo Hua nodded.
However, Mo Hua remembered that bald man and thought to himself that next time they met, he would not let him escape.
“By the way,” Yu Chengyi said to Mo Hua, “the Taoist Court offers a reward for capturing sin cultivators. I’ll send it over to you in a few days once it’s issued.”
“Does everyone get one?” Mo Hua asked.
Yu Chengyi nodded, “Everyone does.”
Mo Hua smiled, “Thank you, Uncle Yu!”
After chatting for a while longer and drinking some tea, Mo Hua stood up to leave.
Then Mo Hua went to see Old Mr. Feng, checking on Ji Li.
Ji Li had been safely brought back, and Old Mr. Feng applied acupuncture, fed him pills, and used his Wood series spiritual power to unblock his meridians, so his life was no longer in danger.
He was still unconscious for the time being, but after some good rest and care, he would be able to recover.
Fu Lan’s eyes were red as she stayed by Ji Li’s side.
Ji Qingbai’s expression was grave, but he also felt a sigh of relief in his heart.
Being alive was better than anything else…
Seeing that Ji Li was not in grave danger, Mo Hua also felt relieved.
Old Mr. Feng saw Mo Hua and was very gratified, praising him,
“The pills I gave you were well used; otherwise, it would not have been so easy to save Ji Li’s life.”
Fu Lan stood up and sincerely made a deep bow to Mo Hua.
Ji Qingbai also looked at Mo Hua and clasped his hands, saying, “I cannot thank you enough for such a great favor!”
They were being far too formal, and Mo Hua felt somewhat embarrassed. He scratched his head and said with a smile,
“Then you’ll have to invite me to the wedding celebration!”
At these words, Ji Qingbai was momentarily stunned, then felt relieved and laughed, “Certainly!”
