This "thank you" was much more heartfelt.
Afterwards, Yu Canghai began meditating while Mo Hua started "searching the bodies."
However, he didn’t find anything valuable on the bodies of the four deceased, with the Storage Bag containing only some spare Spirit Stones and Pills.
Mo Hua was somewhat disappointed.
"Quite cautious..."
He thought for a moment and remembered there were also four masked Cultivators he had blown up at the cave.
Once Yu Canghai had healed somewhat, Mo Hua returned with him to the cave.
The cave was blown to pieces, with traces of the Formation all around.
Yu Canghai only then realized Mo Hua hadn’t lied, and indeed, the other four also died at his hands, causing a chill to rise in his heart.
Truly, people cannot be judged by their appearances.
The more naive-looking, the more ruthless in killing.
Mo Hua paused to think and pointed at the cave, saying to Yu Canghai:
"Senior, help me dig out those four."
Yu Canghai didn’t know what Mo Hua intended but followed his instructions and started digging the stones.
Though wounded, after resting for a while, it wasn’t difficult to dig out some stones.
In less than an hour, four bodies were dug out and placed in a neat row.
Mo Hua uncovered their masks, finding he didn’t recognize any of them.
Moreover, the faces of these four were mostly destroyed by the Formation, making it even harder to identify them.
Mo Hua began searching their bodies.
After a while, the search yielded little gain.
Seemingly to act low-key, these people traveled light, with the Storage Bag containing only some simple Pills and Spiritual Artifacts, along with scattered Spirit Stones.
"No clues..."
Mo Hua shook his head and sighed.
But still somewhat unwilling, based on his experience with the Tao Court and dealing with Sin Cultivators for so long, he began to gather Divine Sense, conducting a meticulous search from head to toe...
Sure enough, after a period, Mo Hua discovered something unusual.
Among the four, one person’s tooth had a distinctly different material.
"Tooth!"
Mo Hua’s eyes brightened.
From his dealings with Sin Cultivators, he remembered some would break their teeth and re-embed a "Storage Box" shaped like a tooth.
This Storage Box was very small, only able to hold items the size of a palm, but it was indeed very concealed.
If not for his extensive experience in chasing Sin Cultivators, he wouldn’t notice at all.
Mo Hua extracted the person’s tooth and, using Divine Sense, pulled out an item from within.
It was a Token.
And the design was very familiar.
Furrowing his brow, Mo Hua examined it for a moment before suddenly recognizing it as a Taoist Court’s Enforcement Leader’s Command Token!
Having worked with Gu Changhuai for so long, Mo Hua recognized most Tokens from the Taoist Court.
The low-level ones, like his "extra-official" Bronze waist tag, the slightly higher ones, like Gu Changhuai’s Tribunal Command Token.
The most common were in the Taoist Court, the type of "Enforcement Leader Command" worn by Court Officials.
Gu An and Gu Quan carried this kind.
Mo Hua felt a slight heaviness in his heart, flipped the Enforcement Leader Command over, glanced at it, and his pupils constricted slightly.
On the back of the Enforcement Leader Command was carved a word:
"Xiao!"
Taoist Court Xiao family!
This person who was blown up was an Enforcement Leader from the Taoist Court’s Xiao family?!
Mo Hua remained silent for a moment, growing increasingly uneasy in his heart.
He thought for a moment, took out a Letter Token, and silently sent a message to Gu Changhuai: "Uncle Gu, hurry and come..."
Moments later, Gu Changhuai replied:
"What’s wrong?"
Mo Hua: "I seem to have... blown up an Enforcement Leader from the Xiao family..."
In the Qianxue Court Tribunal, seeing these words, Gu Changhuai’s heart suddenly shuddered, and his right hand gripped with force, nearly crushing the Letter Token.
