Yu Chengyi was Elder Yu’s eldest son, with a cultivation of the Qi Refining Ninth Level, quite impressive, and quite well-respected among Monster Hunters.
Usually, he led teams to hunt monsters in the Inner Mountain, but a few days ago, he received news that a rather troublesome Monster Beast had appeared on the outer mountain. Although it was only in the Middle Phase of the first rank, it was difficult to deal with.
Yu Chengyi happened to have some free time this day, so he temporarily brought some Monster Hunters to the outer mountain to hunt this creature.
Yu Chengyi was on high alert, searching for traces of the beast with some Monster Hunters, when suddenly he heard someone calling him, the voice quite youthful.
Yu Chengyi was startled, looked up, and saw a young cultivator standing on a distant rock, waving at him.
His jaw nearly dropped in shock.
Where did this kid come from?
This was Big Black Mountain!
How did the child get in? And how did he dare to come in?! Wasn’t he afraid of being eaten by Monster Beasts?
When Yu Chengyi recognized the person, he jumped again and blurted out, “Mo Hua?!”
He remembered Mo Hua.
The son of Mo Shan, quite young, with a clever appearance. He drew formations well, and his dad had told him to look after the boy.
A chill ran through Yu Chengyi’s heart, followed by a wave of fright.
A Junior Formation Master among Monster Hunters, if he were eaten by a monster, the loss would be enormous.
Yu Chengyi flashed over in an instant, taking two steps in one stride, directly reaching Mo Hua’s side, lifted him off the rock, and placed him on the ground.
“Uncle Yu, your movement technique is really good!”
Mo Hua praised him as he landed.
“It’s all right,” Yu Chengyi modestly replied, then thought something wasn’t right. Was now really the time to discuss this…
He looked at Mo Hua, then scanned the surroundings and couldn’t help asking, “Where’s your dad?”
“My dad is in the Inner Mountain.”
“No… I mean, isn’t your dad with you?”
“I can’t go to the Inner Mountain,” Mo Hua said.
Mo Shan had told him to play in the outer mountain, with strict instructions not to go to the Inner Mountain. Mo Hua strictly complied; he wouldn’t dare to set foot there even were he doomed.
Yu Chengyi clarified, “What I meant is, isn’t your dad by your side?”
“Uhm, he has to go monster hunting in the Inner Mountain, can’t always accompany me,” Mo Hua explained.
Yu Chengyi was dumbfounded, “You mean to say, Mo Shan brought you into the mountain then left you in the outer mountain?”
Had Mo Shan lost his mind?
“Not exactly,” Mo Hua said, “I came with Da’hu and the others. My dad only allowed me in the outer mountain, he forbade me from entering the Inner Mountain.”
Yu Chengyi, word by word, slowly asked, “You’re saying, Mo Shan, he permitted you to come to the outer mountain?”
Mo Hua nodded.
Yu Chengyi felt a surge of anger.
What kind of joke was this? The outer mountain was still part of Big Black Mountain! There were poisons, miasmas, and Monster Beasts!
Don’t underestimate the danger of the outer mountain!
It took a long time for Yu Chengyi to compose himself.
“Let’s not talk about this,” Mo Hua said, “Uncle Yu, could you do me a favor?”
Yu Chengyi had asked a few trivial questions, interrupting Mo Hua’s train of thought, almost making him forget what he originally wanted to do.
“A favor?” Yu Chengyi was taken aback, “To find someone to send you back?”
“No,” Mo Hua waved his hand, “I’ve just entered the mountain, why go back now?”
Mo Hua stealthily assessed Yu Chengyi’s Monster Hunters and whispered:
“Could I borrow a few people from you?”
