"An Elder at the Foundation Establishment stage from South Yue Sect." Mo Hua said.
Instructor Yan was slightly taken aback.
Having been in South Yue City for a few years, he knew only a few cultivators.
Mo Hua had been here for only a few months, how did he come to know so many cultivators...
Instructor Yan also recalled that he had heard from an Elder of the Situ Family that Mo Hua was now a first-grade Formation Master.
A first-grade Formation Master...
He had never imagined that in just two or three years, the student who once needed to consult him for three or four formation patterns had surpassed him and officially become a first-grade Formation Master...
This talent was truly frightening...
In his heart, Instructor Yan felt both exhilarated and wistful.
Then he also realized that the current Mo Hua, albeit young, should not be treated as just any ordinary child.
During the incident with Corpse Walking Stronghold, Mo Hua's actions were brave and strategic, moving like a ghost.
All this was witnessed by Instructor Yan.
Even the Corpse cultivators at the Foundation Establishment stage were played in the palms of Mo Hua's hands.
And his own escape from Corpse Walking Stronghold was also thanks to Mo Hua.
With this in mind, Instructor Yan's attitude towards Mo Hua unconsciously became much more solemn.
After a moment of contemplation and a soft sigh, he opened up to Mo Hua,
"That traitor is indeed in South Yue City..."
"How do you know?"
"I have seen the formations he drew in the city."
Instructor Yan sighed again, then continued,
"Even though so many years have passed, his formation skills have improved, and his drawing style is completely different, but his subtle strokes, I recognized them at a glance!"
"It's just that I've been asking around everywhere, and no one knows who is behind these formations, or where they came from..."
Instructor Yan's expression showed disappointment.
"What's the name of that traitor?" Mo Hua asked.
Instructor Yan seemed to recall painful memories, hesitated for a long time before slowly speaking,
"His surname is Shen, given name Cai."
"Shen Cai?"
Mo Hua frowned, "I don't seem to know this person in South Yue City..."
A person skilled in formations, with a formation strength close to or even above a first grade, and entrenched in South Yue City for a long time, must not be an obscure nobody.
Mo Hua had seen or heard of nearly all the prominent Formation Masters in South Yue City.
But there was no one by the name of "Shen Cai."
Mo Hua asked, "Could he have changed his name and fled?"
Instructor Yan nodded slightly, "It's not just a change of name; he has likely disguised himself too..."
"Disguised himself..."
Instructor Yan said through clenched teeth,
"He betrayed his master, destroyed his legacy; he'll be spat upon by everyone. That face of his, he probably doesn't dare to keep it either."
"That complicates things..." muttered Mo Hua.
With a changed name and face, and an unknown identity, knowing only similar Formation Diagram techniques, indeed, he's not easy to find.
And if you inquire too much, you might startle the snake.
The Cultivation World is so vast—if he got away, finding him again would be like searching for a needle in a haystack.
"Are you looking for him to seek revenge?"
Mo Hua asked cautiously.
Pain flitted across Instructor Yan's eyes before it turned to deep bitterness:
"After so many years, the desire for revenge has faded. I just want to find him and ask him personally. Even if he stole the Spirit Pivot Formation, why did he have to kill our master? Our master treated him so well..."
Having said that, Instructor Yan sighed deeply:
"There's one more thing—the Spirit Pivot Formation Chart."
"I hope to retrieve this Formation in my lifetime, to comfort the spirit of my master in heaven."
"The Minor Hidden Spirit Sect is no more, but I hope that this Formation can be passed down and not be lost to time..."
Spirit Pivot Formation Chart...
Thinking for a moment, Mo Hua took out a Formation Chart and handed it to Instructor Yan:
