"Did you... really figure it out on your own?" Gu Changhuai asked, frowning.
"Of course!" Mo Hua said proudly, "I am a disciple of Taixu Gate after all!"
Not to mention, he had also learned Formation techniques from Elder Master Xun.
These days, whenever he had Merit Points, he would go to the Merit Pavilion to exchange them for Formation studies, and he had learned countless Second Grade Formations.
With Elder Master Xun's guidance, along with the profound Formation heritage accumulated by generations of Taixu Gate's predecessors, Mo Hua's foundation in Formation techniques was now even firmer than before.
He was now a true Second Grade Formation Master, backed by the real heritage of a Great Sect!
It was just that he had merit without name—it was just a matter of assessment.
Gu Changhuai's frown deepened.
What does this have to do with Taixu Gate?
Taixu Gate is not a Sect established on Formation techniques, so where could its disciples gain such incredible Formation expertise?
Even a Sect established on Formation principles couldn't possibly do this!
Besides, you haven't even been in the Sect for a full year...
How much could you have possibly learned?
Gu Changhuai stared at Mo Hua for a moment, and then with a slight shift in his thoughts, he asked:
"Do you want to go in and have a look?"
Mo Hua was startled, "Really?"
Gu Changhuai nodded.
Mo Hua was somewhat skeptical.
Uncle Gu... is acting out of character...
Originally, he didn't allow me to enter the Xie residence to look around.
Now, without me asking, he's actually allowing me to go in.
But he wasn't one to reject such an opportunity.
"Alright!" Mo Hua agreed, nodding.
Gu Changhuai pulled out a golden waistplate.
The waistplate, made of pure gold, was elegant and luxurious, far more valuable than the plain bronze waistplate Mo Hua owned.
Mo Hua looked on enviously.
But for now, he could only look.
Holding the gold waistplate, Gu Changhuai lightly traced it over the warning Formation.
A faint, invisible barrier was then opened.
"Let's go."
Gu Changhuai took the lead and walked in.
Hesitating for a moment, Mo Hua also stepped forward, following Gu Changhuai through the warning Formation and into the massacred Xie family estate.
The moment his foot touched the ground, stepping on the charred surface where the blood had been burnt dry, a scream suddenly filled his ears.
The voice was extremely harrowing, fraught with boundless pain.
Under the broad daylight, Mo Hua's vision blurred for a moment.
As if in the darkness of night, a sea of fire suddenly appeared before him.
Within the sea of flames, countless figures could be seen running, struggling, and screaming in agony, like tormented souls suffering in hell.
Executioners with ferocious faces raised their butcher knives, slaughtering, dismembering, reveling in the carnage.
Blades pierced flesh, slit open chests, cut open bellies, and removed blood-drenched organs...
The sea of fire churned as blood mingled with flame.
Faces twisted in cruelty, like demons dancing chaotically.
And those who died miserably looked like livestock sent to slaughte
