Immortality Through Array Formations

Chapter 1185: Chapter 707 Destiny_3

Despite their struggle for several rounds, with Mo Hua watching on the side, they could not escape at all.

On the other side, Xie Liu was also captured by Gu Changhuai, and bound with a Third Grade Spirit-binding Lock, locking his physical body and meridians.

With that, the dust settled, and Mr. Jin along with his group were completely apprehended.

Afterwards, Gu Changhuai gathered incriminating evidence, confiscated their storage bags, and then prepared to escort them to the Taoist Prison.

Mr. Jin suddenly shouted hatefully, “Gu Changhuai!”

Gu Changhuai glanced at him indifferently.

Mr. Jin, tied up and pushed to the ground, still sneered coldly, “Do you know who I am?”

Gu Changhuai indifferently said, “No matter who it is, if they violate the Taoist Law, they must go to the Taoist Prison.”

“Bah!” Mr. Jin cursed loudly, “Why are you pretending to be righteous with me?”

“Taoist Law is for restraining the lower-class people. Families with nobility, Loose Cultivators are despicable, how can you mix them together and apply the same law?”

Gu Changhuai’s gaze gradually turned icy.

Mr. Jin coldly said, “Who do you think I am?”

“My ancestor, eight hundred years ago, was the Sect Leader of the Sever Gold Sect, my grandfather is now the Chief Elder of the Sever Gold Sect, my father is the Vice Sect Leader, and my mother is the True Transmission Elder of the Sever Gold Sect…”

“It can be said, among the Twelve Streams of Qianxue State, the top-ranked Sever Gold Sect owns half of the properties of the Jin family… ”

“I advise you to behave properly, and not to escalate the situation, or even if you are the Dao Court Canon, you won’t be able to bear the consequences!”

Mr. Jin’s attitude was extremely arrogant.

Gu Changhuai raised an eyebrow, lifted his foot, and stepped on Mr. Jin’s face, his expression becoming even more arrogant than Mr. Jin’s in a brief moment.

“You, a mere Foundation Establishment, are threatening me, a Golden Core?”

“You, a Sect Disciple, are threatening me, a Dao Court Canon?”

“Your Jin family might be a noble family, but isn’t my Gu family also?”

Gu Changhuai pressed harder with his foot, smashing Mr. Jin’s face into the mud, and coldly sneered:

“See, no matter who it is, once stepped on underfoot, all appear the same. You regard others as lowlifes, not realizing that in the eyes of others, you are nothing but a wretch.”

Mr. Jin felt his dignity being crushed under Gu Changhuai’s foot, shattered into pieces, his eyes turned bloodshot as he yelled out:

“Gu Changhuai!”

“One day, I will make sure you die a horrible death!”

“I will make you suffer eternally, make you…”

Gu Changhuai sneered dismissively, delivered a kick, knocking Mr. Jin unconscious, then handed him over to Gu An like he was tying up a dead pig.

“Take him back.”

“Yes.” Gu An obeyed, securing Mr. Jin.

Mo Hua was somewhat worried and quietly asked, “Uncle Gu, by humiliating him like this, could it provoke him to seek revenge later?”

Gu Changhuai, expressionless, responded, “There are many who hold grudges against me, if I feared this little, how could I serve as the Dao Court Canon?”

“Oh…”

Mo Hua couldn’t help but feel a deeper respect.

Indeed, appearances can be deceiving; the seemingly frivolous Uncle Gu turned out to have such integrity.

Gu Changhuai looked at Mo Hua, suddenly frowned and asked:

“Why are you here?”

Mo Hua briefly explained, “I was in the fishing village, destroyed the human traffickers’ stronghold, captured Crossing River Dragon, knew they were abducting cultivators, murdering for alchemy purposes, so had Crossing River Dragon deliver pills, we followed him, trying to trace and see who he was meeting, and then we tracked it here…”

Gu Changhuai was momentarily stunned, his expression surprised.

He didn’t expect Mo Hua’s investigation to progress so quickly.

Commanding Gu An and others seemed quite effortless for him, almost like a “little Canon” of the Dao Court officials.

But, still a bit dangerous…

Gu An frowned and said, “Be more careful next time. This is a Third-Grade State, frequented by Golden Core Stage Sin Cultivators. Golden Core Cultivators are an entire major realm above your mere early stage Foundation Establishment cultivation; one careless move, and your life can be lost.”

“Mm-hm.”

Mo Hua didn’t say much, just nodded earnestly.

As Gu Changhuai spoke, he suddenly paused, asking:

“Did you already know I was here, and that’s why you were so bold?”

Gu Changhuai remembered, he was disguised and drinking outside a tavern wearing a hat, when Mo Hua happened to pass by.

At that time, Mo Hua seemed to have given him a meaningful look, his gaze lingering for a moment, as if recognizing something.

After entering the tavern, the youngster walked in chest puffed out, increasingly confident.

Mo Hua denied outright, praising:

“Not at all, Uncle Gu, your disguise was flawless; how could I possibly recognize you?”

Gu Changhuai hmphed softly.

Mo Hua thought for a moment, then asked, “By the way, Uncle Gu, how come you are here?”

Gu Changhuai pondered briefly and shared what he could:

“The human trafficker issue has been under investigation by the Dao Court for a long time, there were some clues, and they have been monitoring some individuals.”

“This Xie Liu from the Gui Water Sect is one of them.”

“As for Mr. Jin, you mentioned him to me that day, so I kept an eye out and had people watch him.”

“These past few days, Xie Liu and Mr. Jin seemed to be meeting, I found it suspicious, so I came to check it out personally…”

Gu Changhuai sighed slightly.

He indeed came early, wearing a hat and had been drinking outside for quite some time.

Just unable to act due to lack of evidence, he could only watch, unable to make a move.

Unexpectedly, in the blink of an eye, Mo Hua along with Gu An and Gu Quan followed Crossing River Dragon to the tavern.

Right in front of him, Sin Cultivator Crossing River Dragon and Mr. Jin conducted an illegal pill transaction.

Mr. Jin not only took the Human Pill but also boastfully said he “trafficked cultivators, harmed human lives, secretly refined Forbidden Pills.”

Xie Liu even attempted to kill to silence them.

In that moment, it gave Gu Changhuai enough “leverage” to make arrests.

Gu Changhuai was somewhat incredulous.
