Chapter 151: Picking Up Bargains (Five More)_1

Mo Shan’s expression grew tense as he brought Mo Hua to Elder Yu.

Pointing to a location on the map, Mo Hua said, “There has been a fight here.”

It couldn’t be Monster Hunters, because everyone had agreed: if a fight started, they would set off fireworks to warn each other.

Besides that, it was a small chance that the fluctuation was due to Monster Beasts fighting each other.

More likely, it was a Qian Family Cultivator who had encountered Monster Beasts and therefore had engaged in battle.

Anyway, it was necessary to go and investigate.

Elder Yu said directly, “Gather everyone. We’re heading out.”

Though the Monster Hunters were scattered, they weren’t far from each other, and information passed quickly. In no time, several hundred Qi Refinement stage Monster Hunters had assembled.

Elder Yu briefly explained the situation, then with a wave of his hand, commanded, “Let’s move out!”

All the Monster Hunters crouched down, concealed their presence, stopped talking, and moved stealthily towards the peak marked by Mo Hua.

Half an hour later, they arrived.

This was a rarely visited small mountain, desolate and remote. Because few people came here, the Monster Hunters were disinclined to name it, commonly referring to the place as “Nameless Peak.”

The group discovered the remains and bloodstains of Monster Beasts on a patch of scattered rocks among the trees.

Mo Shan approached, wiped the bloodstains with his hand, and said, “A Cultivator killed this, but the technique was crude; it wasn’t the work of a Monster Hunter.”

Elder Yu’s eyes sharpened as he released his Divine Sense.

Mo Hua could only faintly sense a ripple before losing all perception.

Those with powerful Divine Sense are not easily spied upon.

But those being watched by someone with a powerful Divine Sense often don’t realize it.

Mo Hua’s mind grew tense, understanding that the Divine Sense of a Foundation Establishment stage Cultivator was indeed extraordinary.

Mo Hua also tried to emulate Elder Yu, releasing his Divine Sense to search for any traces in the mountains.

After a while, Elder Yu retracted his Divine Sense and fixed his gaze on Mo Hua with a look of surprise.

A few moments later, Mo Hua also withdrew his Divine Sense.

“Did you notice anything?” Elder Yu asked.

Mo Hua nodded, “There are mines hidden in the mountains, concealed with wood and stone.”

Elder Yu’s eyes brightened slightly, “Mark them for me to see.”

Mo Hua took out the map and circled several areas near the peak of Nameless Peak.

These were the spots where Mo Hua’s Divine Sense had detected the mines.

Elder Yu nodded and added a few more markings on it.

Looking at those, Mo Hua had a realization.

Not following the other Qian Family cultivators, they chose to be alone, and of the many paths available, they chose to limp right past the bushes where he was hiding.

Mo Hua felt that not making a move would be somewhat of a disservice to them.

One of the Qian Family cultivators was cursing as he went:

“These bastards, where did they get the intel...”

“When we get back, we’ll report to the Family Head, and they’ll pay for this!”

“...Damn it!”

He cursed as he ran.

As he was cursing, suddenly a Fireball Technique exploded on his face.

He was struck by a burst of intense pain as the exploding flames made his head swim and his ears ring, and his face burned with pain.

“What...”

He hadn’t recovered yet, when another fireball hit him in the face, and he fell straight to the ground.

“An ambush?!”

The other Qian Family cultivator was shocked and tried to flee, ignoring his companion, but after only a few steps, a fireball struck him in the back of the head.

He fell flat on the ground, his face hitting a rock, and he too was knocked unconscious.

Mo Hua didn’t rush to come out.

He first used his Divine Sense to scan the area and found that the spiritual power of the two men was circulating erratically.

This indicated that they had fainted; their senses were unclear, and they couldn’t control the flow of their own spiritual power.

Still not at ease, Mo Hua hit each of them with another fireball to make sure, and seeing no response, climbed out of the pit.

What to do now?

After thinking for a while, Mo Hua searched them and took away their Storage Bags.

The Taoist Law prohibits looting.

Mo Hua wanted to be a law-abiding good cultivator, but with the Qian Family bringing the fight to him, he couldn’t just stand by and be bullied.

“It seems cultivators truly can’t help themselves...”

Mo Hua sighed, his expression slightly melancholic as he tucked the Storage Bags into his own bosom.

Then he ran back into the pit to see if there were any more Qian Family cultivators coming his way to make him “act against his will.”

Before long, more Qian Family cultivators came his way as anticipated.

If there were many, Mo Hua let them go.

If there were few, Mo Hua did the same as before.

When dawn was breaking and the battle inside the mine was coming to an end,

Mo Hua’s bosom was already bulging...
