But there was nothing Mo Hua could do.
“If they won’t let me see, then they won’t…”
He could only commit to memory the scenes of the Planting Devil in the Taoist Heart he had witnessed, and when he had nothing else to do, he would turn them over and over in his mind, meticulously speculating, trying to discern some Divine Sense manipulation spell points from the “Reaching the Pinnacle” methods of their Uncle, learning just the rudiments…

The two were still on the road to Li Mountain City.
A few days later, one evening.
Mo Hua followed Gui Tao’s people to an old temple.

“Senior, you don’t have to worry about me, I…”
“What are you talking about? Your father entrusted you to my care. How will I explain to him if you lose your life…”
“In my opinion, if we act cautiously, we might still have an opportunity…”
That was the middle-aged cultivator’s voice.
“Can’t you just calculate our way out of danger?”
“If I wasn’t capable of calculation, I wouldn’t want to stay here.”
