The Zhang Family Ancestral Master's presence suddenly turned ominous.
The Corpse Poison condensed, transforming into myriad serpentine dragons, hissing with flickering tongues, and slithering in all directions.
Mo Hua's scalp tingled slightly.
This ancestor of the Zhang Family, his devious thods were far too nurous.
Practicing both Corpse Body and Spell Casting.
Was he a Body Cultivator, or a Spiritual Cultivator?
Or could it be that the Evil Demon's thods were unique, transcending both Blood Qi and Spiritual Power?
As Mo Hua pondered, the serpentine dragons had already reached his feet, prompting Mo Hua to imdiately perform the Water Passing Step, retreating swiftly.
This slight movent sent a ripple through his Divine Thought, and though it was minute, it was still detected by the ever-vigilant Zhang Family Ancestral Master.
The bronze vertical pupils of the Zhang Family Ancestral Master narrowed, and he pointed his White Bone Staff at Mo Hua.
The surrounding serpentine dragons sward together like a tidal wave, carrying a chilling poisonous aura as they swept towards Mo Hua.
With no other choice, Mo Hua revealed his form, retreating with light steps while quickly tapping his fingers together.
One after another, the Fireball Technique materialized from his fingertips, whistling through the air.
The bright red fireballs collided with the Corpse Poison serpents, exploding on impact.
The flas of the Fire-series Spiritual Power detonated, the fire's Spiritual Threads shredding through them. Experience new tales on empire
Hordes of the poison snakes were obliterated by the fireballs, reduced to ash, the Corpse Poison incinerated, and within the crimson flas, even a hint of ghastly green could be seen.
In less than the ti it takes to finish a cup of tea, Mo Hua had burnt all of the Zhang Family Ancestral Master's Corpse Poison serpents to death using the Fireball Technique.
The Zhang Family Ancestral Master appeared nonchalant.
The Corpse Poison Technique was broken, but he had flushed out the "hidden observer."
Only, this "hidden observer" made him feel both surprised and suspicious.
It was just a kid...
Had the mastermind been an exceptionally talented young Cultivator, a scheming middle-aged Cultivator, or even a grave and solemn old Cultivator, he would not have been surprised.
But this kid with an innocent face, an unblemished deanor, and yet profound eyes, gave him a shiver.
Sothing abnormal must be a demon at work.
The Zhang Family Ancestral Master frowned.
This kid, with Divine Sense both pure and profound, was capable of manifesting his form as well as spells.
An appearance of naivety, but thods full of cunning.
Lurking unseen, watching in secret.
Manipulating the Zhang Family's Elders like puppets.
Even had it not been for his manifestation of the White Bone Staff and the strengthening of his Corpse Poison Technique, he would have been unable to coerce the kid out.
The mastery he had over his own Divine Thoughts had taken hundreds of years to achieve, through the consumption of human divine senses, painstaking exploration, and integrating Corpse Path inheritance from his past life into his cultivation.
This kid, with his childlike air, having hardly eaten enough rice for a few years, where did he acquire such deep cunning and such bizarre thods?
The Zhang Family Ancestral Master's gaze grew heavy as he asked:
"Kid, what exactly is your background?"
Mo Hua replied with a beaming smile, "You guess."
The Zhang Family Ancestral Master did not show anger and asked again:
"How exactly did you take control of my Zhang Family's Elders?"
Telling blatant lies, Mo Hua replied:
"I didn't control them, they did it all by themselves. After committing countless wrongs, they even thought of coming into my Sea of Consciousness to devour my Divine Sense. I kindly gave them so advice, and with sudden enlightennt, they cleaned up their act..."
"Oh, right," Mo Hua continued, "they also said they wanted to atone for their sins by getting rid of you, the old ancestor."
The Zhang Family Ancestral Master's eyes grew cold.
This kid was full of nonsense, and it was unclear which words were true...
Certainly not any sort of good nature.
The Zhang Family Ancestral Master's thoughts flickered, and he ca up with a plan, saying:
"We have no grudges or resentnts, can we call it quits here?"
Mo Hua breathed a sigh of relief and nodded, "Sure, I don't want to fight with you. I can't beat you."
Once finished speaking, Mo Hua waved his hand at the Zhang Family Ancestral Master, "You're free to go, I won't keep you around..."
The Zhang Family Ancestral Master was montarily stunned, then his expression shifted ambiguously, as he said faintly:
"Then, about these Elders of my Zhang Family... "
Mo Hua waved his hand again, "I told you, they've had a change of heart, they've nded their ways. They're not following you anymore, they're mine now, obeying my commands..."
The Zhang Family Ancestral Master sneered, "We agreed to stop this, young man, it doesn't seem like you're being very sincere?"
"Sincere about what?"
The Zhang Family Ancestral Master said:
"You release the controls on them, I'll take them away. After that, we keep to our own paths, and my Zhang Family will no longer disrespect you. I also ask you to show so courtesy to my Zhang Family. What do you say?"
Mo Hua pretended to be contemplative, frowning slightly:
"But... I can't beat you anyway, and if I allow these Iron Corpses to turn against , what if you don't keep your word? Wouldn't I be in a very dangerous situation?"
The Zhang Family Ancestral Master cursed inwardly.
Such a suspicious kid!
"What do you propose?"
Mo Hua's eyes spun craftily, "How about this? I'll remove the control over these Iron Corpses, and you cripple your Divine Sense. You don't need to destroy too much, just about seventy or eighty percent will do. That way, without the Iron Corpses, and with you having less Divine Sense, we'll be even."
The Zhang Family Ancestral Master's gaze turned icy, "Kid, are you making fun of ?"
Mo Hua was about to continue bantering when suddenly his expression drastically changed, revealing shock.
He discovered that behind the Zhang Family Ancestral Master, a massive bronze coffin had erged at so unknown ti.
This imnse coffin, apparently also manifested, exuded an aura of olden tis, covered in verdigris, its presence deep and profound, nearly identical to the one used for refining a Corpse King.
The bronze coffin was huge, clearly out of the ordinary.
Such a manifestation also must have cost a significant amount of ti.
The words of the Zhang Family Ancestral Master just monts ago, about "calling it quits" and "keeping to our own paths," were all lies.
He was rely biding ti.
So that he could finish manifesting this massive bronze coffin!
Mo Hua exclaid angrily, "You old bastard, how devious, tricking into chatting while secretly casting a spell!"
