”It’s impossible to wait for Mo Hua to figure anything out.”

”Let’s go back,” Gu Changhuai said indifferently.

He wanted to take Mo Hua back to the Gu Family safely and give her to his cousin, which would also save him some trouble.

Otherwise, having this youngster with him while roaming around might cause complications and accidents.

Just like what had happened earlier...

”Okay.” Mo Hua nodded.

He hadn’t discovered anything and had no choice but to return for now.

But as he turned to leave, Mo Hua suddenly paused, turned his head, and took another look at the ruins of the Xie family’s estate. His brows slowly furrowed.

Gu Changhuai, somewhat taken aback, asked, ”What’s wrong?”

Mo Hua pondered for a moment and then said slowly, ”Uncle Gu, do you have the Taoist architectural plans of the Xie family’s estate?”

Gu Changhuai nodded, ”Yes.”

”Can I see them?” Mo Hua asked.

Gu Changhuai’s gaze darkened slightly, ”What do you want to do?”

”I need to find a place...”

”Find a place?”

Gu Changhuai frowned, thought briefly, then without asking further, he nodded:

”Alright.”

Gu Changhuai found a relatively clean area, took out a scroll from his storage bag, unrolled it on the ground, and said to Mo Hua:

”This is the architectural plan of the Xie family’s estate...”

The plan marked the estate’s terrain, buildings, and the formations used in the structures, among other things...

Mo Hua was very familiar with this type of plan.

He began to search painstakingly through the architectural plans...

In the fiery scene that had just emerged, after the Fire Buddha killed the Xie family cultivators, he gathered their corpses in one place.

The critical scenes after that were engulfed by flames, obscured the consequences, and Mo Hua couldn’t see through it.

Although he couldn’t see the secrets hidden beneath the flames and didn’t know exactly what the Fire Buddha had done after killing,

He still vaguely remembered the nearby scenes.

These scenes were clearly within the Xie family’s premises.

Yet, he had just explored the area and hadn’t found any similar landmarks.

”There must be a place I overlooked...”

Mo Hua replayed the scenes in the sea of fire repeatedly in his mind, and then compared them with the map of the Xie estate to locate similar places.

Finally, Mo Hua’s eyes brightened.

On the architectural plan, in one corner of the Xie family’s backyard, there was a hidden attic with an open space in front of it, surrounded by side chambers and potted plants for planting flowers.

The entire layout and setting matched the scenes in his memory.

Mo Hua pointed to the attic’s courtyard on the map, ”Uncle Gu, let’s go check this place.”

Gu Changhuai looked at Mo Hua in surprise and then nodded slightly.

Then, the two followed the map, walking through paths that were unrecognizable, stepping on ashes, until they arrived at the location of the attic.

The area around the attic had collapsed, and the charred wooden beams and walls had fallen, blocking the path.

That’s why Mo Hua hadn’t discovered it before.

Gu Changhuai took out a paper fan, waved it casually, and a surge of spiritual power burst forth, clearing the path.

Mo Hua continued inside and reached the courtyard in front of the attic.

This place was secluded and hidden,

And the attic had also been burned, with even bigger fire damage here, leaving fewer remnants of the building.

The courtyard was desolate with everything still appearing scorched-black, no different from other areas.

After searching for a while, they found no clues.

Gu Changhuai looked back at Mo Hua.

Mo Hua frowned deeply, lost in thought.

”There are no traces...”

”It can’t be...”

Mo Hua released his Divine Sense, and in the void, it was still a scene of nothingness, with only the residual Fire Spiritual Power from the ruins and nothing else out of the ordinary.

”Nothing?”

Mo Hua’s brow furrowed even more deeply, then suddenly, he paused and couldn’t help but sniff.

”Uncle Gu, do you smell anything?”

”The smell?” Gu Changhuai also sniffed lightly and frowned, ”A burnt smell?”

”No...”

Mo Hua said, and then sniffed again, his eyes slightly focused.

”Very faint...”

”Refreshing, but with a slightly strange scent, it seems a bit sticky and moist...”

Gu Changhuai, somewhat speechless, frowned and said:

”Are you sure you’re referring to a smell you detected with your nose, not a taste you’re savoring in your mouth?”

”A taste hidden in the mouth?”

Mo Hua paused, suddenly startled.

He remembered!

Is this...

The scent of golden marrow?

Sheep-Horned Enforcer... Essence of Divine Thought!

Is this... the breath of an Evil God?!

Mo Hua’s spirits lifted, he perked up his nose, sniffed again, and then following the faint ”scent” of the Divine Thought, found a corner of the courtyard.

Mo Hua sniffed again, then rummaged around, and from the corner, he turned up a heap of charred residue.

Gu Changhuai stepped forward to take a look and also sniffed, even checking with Divine Sense, then ultimately looked somewhat disappointed:

”Just ordinary residue, nothing special.”

”Just not sure... what was burnt to form it...”

Mo Hua shook his head, a grave look on his face, ”This isn’t ordinary!”

He had smelled the ”scent of the Evil God” on it.

However, he also didn’t know exactly what these pitch-black residues were.

Nor could he distinguish them.

But these residues were definitely not ordinary.

They were the truth hidden under the great fire, remnants left by some unknown entities after obscuring causality.

Likely, astonishing secrets were hidden within.

Seeing Mo Hua, who was usually innocent and crafty, showing such a serious expression, Gu Changhuai couldn’t help but take it more seriously.

He took out a storage bag, divided the residues into two portions, and carefully sealed them for preservation.

”I’ll take them back and have the Taoist Court Official in charge of inspections look into it to see what these residues are remnants of...”

Whether they’re Spiritual Artifacts, Spiritual Objects, Pills, or...

Human flesh.

Mo Hua nodded, then asked, ”If they find out...”

Gu Changhuai sighed, ”If they find out, I’ll tell you.”

”Okay.”

Mo Hua looked up at the Xie family, which had been exterminated and erased.

Extermination of the entire family, destruction of the corpses and traces.

Obscuring of causality.

Traces of karmic mutation.

And...

The scent of the Evil God on the pitch-black residues...

Mo Hua’s brow tightened.

He had originally thought this was just a ruthless act of inhuman slaughter led by the Fire Buddha and a group of Sin Cultivators.

But now, it seemed the water here might run very, very deep...
