Chapter 703: Chapter 560 Mysterious Eternal Flame_3
Apart from that, Bai Qiancheng’s biggest concern was still Gui Tao’s people.
This matter seemed to have settled, but she always felt a lingering fear, as if Gui Tao’s people still had some schemes up their sleeves.
She went to ask True Man Situ, and True Man Situ also frowned without understanding.
The actions of Gui Tao’s people were mysterious and inscrutable.
Yet it seemed, now that they had the Back Ruins Heaven Burial map in their possession, Gui Tao’s people had achieved their goal and probably had no other intentions.
Moreover, he had already made inquiries before.
It seemed that the Pavilion Elders of the Taoist Court Seven Pavilions, using the Golden Light Heavenly Instrument, had locked onto the aura of Gui Tao’s people and had been hunting them down continuously.
Gui Tao’s people were too busy fending for themselves and would likely not risk doing evil again.
Bai Qiancheng breathed a sigh of relief.
After that, Bai Qiancheng planned to leave.
She needed to ensure Mr. Zhuang was settled properly, not to let the Everlasting Lantern extinguish, and also to send Zixi and Zisheng back to their clan.
At the same time, Mo Hua, this child, she also needed to find a way to send him back home.
The Taoist Court and various Cultivators stationed outside Li Mountain City were also going to leave.
But the night before their departure, a change occurred.
As they were about to part ways, True Man Situ simply arranged a banquet as a farewell gesture.
However, after just three rounds of drinking, a disturbance erupted in the camp, accompanied by cries of terror, hideous laughter, frantic shouts, and the sounds of combat…
True Man Situ’s heart trembled, “Is this, Planting Devil in Taoist Heart?!”
Everyone else’s expression changed dramatically.
They rushed out immediately and saw several Taoist Soldiers indeed enveloped in Demonic Qi, having lost their senses, with ferocious expressions as if choosing people to devour…
It was exactly like the signs of Planting Devil in Taoist Heart they had witnessed previously.
True Man Situ, as if facing a great enemy, quickly subdued those possessed disciples, then turned to alert everyone, but upon looking up, he furrowed his brow.
There was no aura of Heavenly secret Tricky Calculation…
This meant that Gui Tao’s people were not present…
True Man Situ was somewhat surprised.
Were these Taoist Soldiers just previously tainted with the Demon Seed, erupting only now?
This type of Demon Seed was extremely weak and not contagious, posing very little threat.
True Man Situ released his Divine Sense, scanned the area, and found no anomalies, finally heaving a sigh of relief.
“I was overly concerned…”
The others also breathed a sigh of relief.
They had thought Gui Tao’s people had come back for revenge…
The crowd then thought of returning to continue drinking, to calm their nerves, but halfway there, Bai Qiancheng suddenly paused, halting in her steps.
True Man Situ was puzzled, “True Man Bai?”
“Something’s not right…” Bai Qiancheng frowned, murmuring.
True Man Situ was a bit taken aback, “What’s not right?”
Bai Qiancheng said, “Master… every move Gui Tao’s people make is calculated, they would never, without reason, scatter these few sporadic Demon Seeds here, they must have another motive for doing so…”
As she spoke, Bai Qiancheng suddenly turned pale, “Zisheng, Zixi!”
Her body light as a falling feather, her feet swift as the wind, after a few flashes, she arrived in front of the secret chamber.
Zisheng and Zixi were both holding bowls, looked after by Aunt Xue, drinking nourishing medicinal soup.
Seeing Bai Qiancheng rushing over hurriedly, both were somewhat puzzled, “Mother…”
Bai Qiancheng pulled them in front of her, gave the children a thorough examination, probed the aura of both with her Divine Sense, and checked their eyes, only then did the stone in her heart fall.
“Mother, has something happened?”
Bai Qiancheng shook her head, about to say something, when suddenly her expression changed, “Where’s Mo Hua?”
Bai Zixi replied, “Mo Hua was too exhausted and fainted, so Aunt Xue took him back to the room to rest for a while…”
Bai Qiancheng’s face turned deathly pale.
Bai Zixi also sensed something was amiss, her voice trembling, “Mother…”
Bai Qiancheng instructed, and then her figure flashed, graceful as a startled swan, and in an instant, she arrived at Mo Hua’s room.
Mo Hua’s small body lay on the bed, resting quietly on his side.
Bai Qiancheng let out a sigh of relief but remained somewhat uneasy, so she gently called out, “Mo Hua…”
Mo Hua didn’t seem to be asleep, and upon hearing movement, he straightened himself, then slowly sat up.
“It’s nothing, you go back to sleep for a while…”
Bai Qiancheng had not finished speaking when she suddenly stopped short.
At that moment, Mo Hua had already turned his head around.
His face was innocent, but his pupils were pitch black.
