Mo Hua could only condense six paths.
This Water Prison Technique is stronger than his own!
Mo Hua’s expression turned grim.
He was all too clear about the effects of the Water Prison Technique.
Once trapped, he’d inevitably become like a turtle in a jar, unable to escape.
A moment later, a cold and somewhat cruel Divine Sense locked onto him again.
Mo Hua’s expression turned serious, and he once again used the Water Passing Step, narrowly escaping.
At the same time, in the distance, a figure appeared in a water shadow. It was Master Xiao, holding a mirror, looking at Mo Hua with great surprise, and couldn’t help but exclaim:
"In terms of quick wit and agile movement, young master, you are in the top three among cultivators I’ve seen in my life."
"If considering cultivation as well, you are undoubtedly the first."
"To capture you, I’ve specially prepared a Peeping Mirror to break your concealment; also gave the Fish Bone Token to Mr. Gu and others, causing them to be careless; meanwhile, using Water Shadow Step to cover, and suddenly striking, yet unexpectedly, you still managed to dodge... "
"Caught off guard, even with two Water Prison Techniques, I couldn’t capture you... "
Master Xiao thought about it more and more, finding it unbelievable.
Not to mention a mere Foundation Building Cultivator, even an Initial Golden Core Cultivator would be trapped with such meticulous planning and means.
This little rascal is indeed strange...
Mo Hua was somewhat upset and said, "Master Xiao, you and I have no past grievances or recent conflicts, why target a little cultivator like me?"
Master Xiao remained silent, "Do you really not know?"
Mo Hua nodded.
Master Xiao coldly smiled, "Is that thing in your hands?"
Mo Hua looked bewildered, "What thing?"
"That..." Master Xiao’s gaze sharpened but he didn’t say it out loud, instead saying, "The thing you snatched from Water Yama..."
As soon as he said this, everyone present was stunned.
Even Gu Changhuai and Xia Canonical Official were somewhat surprised, not expecting this.
When did this kid Mo Hua snatch something from Water Yama?
But Mo Hua directly shook his head, "I don’t even know what you’re talking about?"
Master Xiao’s forehead twitched.
"How do you know I took something from Water Yama?" Mo Hua asked confidently.
Master Xiao glanced back at Water Yama.
Mo Hua understood, then somewhat angrily said, "This Water Yama is cunning, nothing from his mouth can be trusted!"
"That item, maybe he hid it himself. He’s blaming it on me, trying to use someone else to kill me, using you, Master Xiao, to kill me."
"I’m so weak, I would die at your hands with a single strike. By then, dead with no evidence, Water Yama could conveniently swallow the item whole."
"Truly malicious intentions..."
Mo Hua spoke righteously.
Master Xiao listened and suddenly felt that Mo Hua was making sense too.
That thing being in Mo Hua’s hands was indeed only Water Yama’s one-sided words, and besides that, there was no way to prove the true whereabouts of the Water Prison Forbidden Box.
Master Xiao glanced at Water Yama again.
Water Yama, already furious to the point of almost bursting, hurriedly said:
"Big brother, do not believe this little rascal’s nonsense, this little rascal is cunning and shameless, not a word from his mouth is to be trusted!"
Master Xiao coldly looked at him, unsettling Water Yama, before turning his head and saying:
"Little brother, honest folks don’t talk nonsense; if Water Yama didn’t say anything, that item is in your hands."
Mo Hua still refused to admit, "What item?"
Master Xiao was slightly angry, coldly laughed, "Fine, still playing dumb with me."
He immediately used the Water Shadow Step again, intending to use it to get close to Mo Hua, so he could leverage cultivation suppression to restrict Mo Hua’s movements and take the opportunity to use the Water Prison Technique, even one Water Prison Technique trapping Mo Hua for just a breath would make him "a thing in the bag."
But just as Master Xiao made his move, two figures suddenly blocked in front of him.
It was Gu Changhuai and Xia Canonical Official.
Gu Changhuai held a feather fan, surrounded by swirling Wind Blades, Xia Canonical Official holding a short sword, its blade gleaming coldly.
Both protected Mo Hua in front, looking at Master Xiao with unfriendly eyes.
Master Xiao’s face twitched, he sighed slightly, "I didn’t intend to become enemies with you two, but I didn’t expect you to press so closely, repeatedly hindering my plans, so you can’t blame me for not considering our shared past."
Gu Changhuai wore a cold smile but soon sensed something was wrong.
Around Master Xiao, an intense Evil Qi entwined.
