The cleanup at the mine was taken over by the Taoist Court.
Cleaning up the mine, dealing with the walking corpses, confiscating the coffins, and subsequent investigations—these tasks were all entrusted to Situ Fang.
Observing the chaotic scene, Situ Fang was also secretly shocked.
That so many zombies could be subdued and Zhang Quan driven into panicked flight...
You have to understand, Zhang Quan was a Foundation Establishment Cultivator.
Now it appeared that the matter of the Corpse Cultivator who had entered the Demon Path and refined an Iron Corpse was very dangerous and quite troublesome...
Yet he was still beaten to the point of revealing his trump cards and fleeing in disarray.
The capabilities of these few young cultivators from Mo Hua were much greater than she had expected.
Then Situ Fang felt a bit helpless.
They were the Taoist Court Officials, yet when it came to the pursuit of Zhang Quan, Mo Hua and his people always took a step ahead, leaving them only to wrap things up.
And now the cultivators of the Taoist Court were indeed wrapping things up.
Mo Hua, on the other hand, strolled around with his hands behind his back, casually pointing here and there, seemingly like a little "Supervisor" in action.
Watching this, Situ Fang couldn’t help but feel a mix of amusement and frustration.
After a while, when Mo Hua wandered over, Situ Fang was about to give him a piece of her mind.
The Taoist Court of South Yue City wasn’t established just to clean up messes!
But before she could voice her thought, Mo Hua, sensing that something was amiss, immediately called out sweetly, "Sister Situ," and then sincerely said,
"Thank goodness you were here to help out a lot!"
After saying that, he patted his little chest, looking genuinely relieved.
"So many zombies, they really scared me."
Situ Fang’s expression was complex, unable to say anything.
Which part of you looked scared? Just now, when you were staring at the formations on the zombies’ bodies, your face was more excited than anyone else’s.
So Situ Fang could only sigh helplessly again.
Seeing she wasn’t angry, Mo Hua quickly changed the subject, asking,
"Sister Situ, is this matter very serious?"
Situ Fang was slightly startled, her expression becoming grave as she nodded and said,
"Very serious."
Then looking at the coffins and walking corpses all around, she couldn’t help but sigh,
"And it seems to be getting more serious..."
Mining Cultivators disappearing, hoodlums murdering, Zhang Quan buying corpses, and now brazenly engaging in Demon Path activities, extensively refining corpses...
Situ Fang’s face grew increasingly somber.
She had begun to guess that what lay before her was likely just the tip of the iceberg.
If just the tip of the iceberg had resulted in so many deaths and refined corpses,
what about the entire iceberg?
How many more would die, how many more corpses would be refined?
Just thinking about it made Situ Fang feel a chilling dread.
This could potentially be South Yue City’s largest case in hundreds, or even a nearly a thousand, years.
Mo Hua’s gaze flickered as he asked,
"Has the Court Leader of South Yue City said anything about this case?"
Situ Fang paused, then shook her head with a complex expression,
"The Court Leader hasn’t said anything. I suppose he wants to keep things quiet. After all, if the situation gets blown up, he’ll have to take responsibility. The best approach would be to play down major issues and dissolve the minor ones..."
Such a serious matter, and still it could be diminished and dissolved...
Mo Hua clicked his tongue and whispered quietly,
"Has he been involved in corruption and embezzlement, I wonder..."
Situ Fang gave Mo Hua a slight glare, "Don’t put it so bluntly."
Mo Hua then softened his wording, "Could it be that he’s succumbed to ’irresistible courtesies’?"
Situ Fang was taken aback for a moment, "Who taught you to speak like that?"
"Uncle Zhang..."
Situ Fang was at a loss for words, "Couldn’t he teach you something more appropriate..."
He had taught something good too.
The Water Passing Step movement technique that Mo Hua used was taught by Zhang Lan.
