Mo Hua continued with a cold "Hm".
But at the same time, he was thinking, with the methods of this Demon Sect, after the deed is done, will they really offer a "generous gift"?
Could it be, they might also find a way to drag this "Mr. Yuan" out?
Either kill him to silence him, eat his flesh and drink his blood; or force Mr. Yuan into slavery, making him draw formations for the Demon Sect for a lifetime.
In comparison, I am still quite "kind", at least giving Mr. Yan a quick end.
Mo Hua sighed and remarked:
"Thus, a Formation Master must walk the righteous path and must never join forces with Demon Cultivators, otherwise, one slip, and there’s no turning back."
Mo Hua took this as a caution in his heart.
After that, there were no more messages from the Demon Sect, Mo Hua managed to muddle through.
But before then, he needed to be a bit cautious...
Mo Hua thought for a moment, then sent a transmission to Gu Changhuai:
"Uncle Gu, the matter of the black-robed Formation Master being killed by the Taoist Court’s officials must be kept confidential, don’t let it leak out now."
As it stands, the Demon Sect and this black-robed Formation Master are in one-on-one contact.
The black-robed Formation Master hid himself deeply, as long as I don’t speak, and the Taoist Court doesn’t leak, no one should know he’s already dead.
Gu Changhuai replied: "Alright, I know."
Mo Hua felt quite reassured with Uncle Gu handling things.
Afterward, things became much easier to handle.
Now, with both the problem and solution tokens in hand, I can "play a duet with myself", and the Demon Sect will be none the wiser, making actions much more convenient.
Mo Hua began considering the next step of the plan.
First and foremost, continue killing Demon Cultivators.
Just a few more, a couple of Golden Core Demons, and I can break through to the late stage of Foundation Establishment.
But with the bloodthirsty Demon Sect now vigilant, the Sect’s Disciple Token can no longer obtain more secrets.
The only means left is the Guest Order.
Even though the permissions for the Guest Order are many, I still haven’t figured out a lot of them.
Moreover, there’s one major problem, the "target" is too obvious.
With hundreds or thousands of Disciple Tokens, doing some small actions isn’t easy to notice.
But the Guest Order at the elder level is very rare, any small move is likely to be discovered.
Not to mention this one in the hands of the Thunder Magnetic Array Master, surely the Demon Sect will guard it strictly.
Thus, this Guest Order isn’t quite as usable, too many restrictions at this stage.
"If permissions can’t be stolen, then... could only play ’role-playing’?"
"Posing as ’Mr. Yuan’, causing trouble secretly, and finding a chance to eliminate a couple of Golden Core Demons, and then it would be a great achievement."
Mo Hua nodded slightly.
Since it’s "role-playing", the first principle is to make others believe.
Let the Demon Sect believe I am truly "Mr. Yuan", working for them, so I can pull some tricks behind the scenes without being suspected.
Otherwise, without trust, if accusations fly, the first to be doubted would certainly be me.
"Gaining trust from the Demon Sect..."
This matter is a bit challenging, it might even require cooperation from the Taoist Court, especially from Uncle Gu’s side.
Mo Hua thought about it for two days, formulating a rough plan in his heart.
Then he sent a transmission to Gu Changhuai: Thᴇ link to the origɪn of this information rᴇsts ɪn novèlfire.net
"Uncle Gu, the Demon Sect is now vigilant, it’s hard to get information, I need you guys to cooperate first, put on a few plays, to gain the trust of the Demon Sect."
"Put on a play?" Gu Changhuai was startled.
Mo Hua explained simply.
Gu Changhuai was taken aback for a moment, then sighed, "Alright."
Afterward, as per routine, Mo Hua utilized the Guest Order, and also the Disciple Token, working both angles to steal the Demon Sect’s messages.
Of course, information on elders is scarce now, mostly about ordinary disciples, engaged in "blood feasts", "Skill Transmission" news.
The Demon Sect is bloodthirsty, they cultivate by sucking the blood of cultivators, if they go a while without drinking blood, they become agitated and may even deviate, losing their senses.
And the Demon Sect’s "blood sucking" comes from the top down.
The Golden Core Elders above can maintain their cultivation technique by absorbing the disciples’ blood.
The lower disciples, having no lower disciples to suck, can only go outside to kill and suck blood.
Being caught by the Taoist Court is death, without blood, deviation is also death.
Thus, when the heat is on, the Demon Sect elders can temporarily lie low to avoid the heat.
But once the bloodthirsty desire of the ordinary disciples below erupts, they cannot restrain it.
They will still kill and suck blood frequently, or hold "blood feasts" of a certain scale.
Mo Hua found a slightly larger scale "blood feast", then leaked the information to the Taoist Court, letting Uncle Gu lead the operation to surround and suppress these Demon Sect disciples.
After that, he sent a transmission to the Demon Sect’s "Elder You".
This Elder You was the one who previously sent a transmission, rather, it was to the already dead "Mr. Yuan", asking about the Thunder Magnetism inspection progress, a Demon Sect elder.
Mo Hua later verified that this "Elder You" bore the Four Symbols Dog Pattern, exactly the "Dog-Head Think Tank" he had found out before.
His cultivation doesn’t seem particularly strong, but he is a trusted aide of the Demon Sect leader, adept at scheming, many things are propelled secretly by him.
Within the Demon Sect, he is called "Elder Dog" due to the dog pattern, but he seems to have the surname "You".
Even within the Demon Sect, only a handful at the high echelon know this surname.
Mo Hua transmitted: "Elder You, it’s found out, there’s an issue with the Original Magnet."
Elder You quickly replied: "Thank you, sir. What seems to be the problem?"
Mo Hua said: "At the bottom layer of the Compound Formation of the Original Magnet, there is an obscure flow of Thunder Magnetism, it seems to be stealing information, and then transmitting it outward."
