Chapter 1286: Mortal Enemy
"His 'death opportunity' was calculated by me personally asking the ancestor to take action, after reporting it to the ancestor from ten thousand miles away with a flying sword book..."
"The ancestor also said, this is the only opportunity..."
"This person's karma is incomparably deep, harboring disaster, cannot be looked at, cannot be peeked at, cannot be stolen. On weekdays, there are no flaws to be found."
"Only in the past few days, he had a major event that was almost 'life-and-death' cultivation, his heart and mind were all restrained by himself, and he was lax in guarding against external matters, so there was such a sliver of opportunity, allowing the Money Mouse to follow the shallow karma, locate his position, and gnaw at his Dao body... at this critical moment, ruining his Dao, taking his life, or at the very least, causing his cultivation to be damaged and his realm to be stagnant..."
"But even so, it actually... couldn't do anything to him?"
"Even the Heavenly Secret Money Mice all died in an instant? Even the original plastic of the Money Mouse carving shattered?"
"This person... could it be that he really is a 'Divine Invoker,' with a god residing in him?"
Elder Yu's brows were tightly furrowed.
He was an elder of a large aristocratic family in the Dao Court, receiving the "orthodox" inheritance of the Dao Court, and previously mostly scoffed at matters of the Divine Dao, thinking they were strange powers and chaotic gods, playing tricks, and confusing people's hearts.
In the Ganxue State Realm, he joined the Demon Sect and falsely "believed in the evil god," just to "do business."
As long as there were benefits and spirit stones to earn, he could believe in whatever he was told to believe.
But since entering the Great Wilderness and seeing all kinds of things around him, he couldn't help but be a bit suspicious.
People cannot understand things they have never experienced.
But once experienced, they can understand.
This so-called "Divine Invoker" was only at the Foundation Establishment realm. If there was really no "god" protecting him, he absolutely could not have made such achievements in the wilderness.
Even more so, he could not have been safe and sound under the karmic calculation of the ancestor and the stealing of luck by the Money Mouse.
"This 'Divine Invoker' lord, you cannot judge a person by their appearance, he is indeed a very terrifying figure..."
"It's just..."
Elder Yu always felt that there was an inexplicable sense of familiarity on this "Divine Invoker" lord.
Moreover, his face and figure didn't look like the barbarians here in the "Great Wilderness," but rather more like an outsider.
This "out"sider, where did he come from?
The eight states of Elder Qian, Kun, Kan, Li, Gen, Zhen, Xun, Dui, plus Daozhou, which state did he come from?
It couldn't possibly have really fallen from the sky, right?
Elder Yu had also specifically checked, but here in the wilderness, there were no clues at all.
He even asked the ancestor to calculate it, but the ancestor took one look and said "cannot calculate," making him extinguish this thought.
"The karma of this wilderness Divine Lord 'at present,' including his current position, life and death, murder, disaster and fortune, even some luck in the 'future,' can all be calculated..."
"But only, cannot calculate towards the 'past'—at least cannot, in karma, go to seek"
"This is a vortex of great terror, absolutely cannot be touched."
"Once touched, something big will happen..."
These were the ancestor's original words.
This was also the first time in so many years that Elder Yu had heard the ancestor evaluate a "figure" like this.
And it was still a Foundation Establishment cultivator.
So much so that Elder Yu thought he had misheard for a moment.
If it weren't for the ancestor always being serious and not joking, he would have thought the ancestor was teasing him.
From this, it can be seen that this "Divine Invoker lord" was indeed a very "troublesome" figure and could not be left alone at all.
Not to mention, the actions of this "Divine Invoker lord" now, his intentions, could already be considered to have committed a great taboo.
Not only did he commit the taboo of the Wang Ting, but he also committed the taboo of the Dao Court.
Not only did he ruin the traditions of the tribes, but he also violated the interests of the aristocratic families.
Especially greatly hindering the Hua family's business.
He was unifying the Great Wilderness, so how could my Hua family "divide" it?
He was averaging materials in the Great Wilderness, so how could my Hua family "exploit" it?
He was liberating barbarian slaves in the Great Wilderness, so how could my Hua family trade in slaves?
Each and every one of these was a "blood feud" stained with huge money and interests.
Elder Yu's eyes flashed with cold and venomous light.
"No matter who you are, this Divine Invoker, whoever ruins my business must die!"
And on the other side, Mo Hua also made up his mind.
He wanted to nourish his life-bound array and feed the Twelve Meridians Taotie Spirit Bone Array, so he had to find a way to get a large amount of spirit stones.
These spirit stones could only be plucked from the "Hua family."
He wanted the Hua family to help him form a core.
From then on, Mo Hua used the name of the Divine Invoker to order the barbarian soldiers of Zhu Que Mountain and the barbarian slaves of the Divine Slave Tribe to continue to march in separate lines and conquer the many wilderness mountain realms that had not yet been unified.
At the same time, he also secretly ordered Lu Gu to liquidate and seal off the Hua family forces parasitic in these mountain realms.
The Hua family were "borers," acting solely for profit.
Their means were very hidden, and on the surface, they were almost difficult to detect. But many things in the dark were pushed by the Hua family behind the scenes.
Those who do big business like "chaos" the most.
Only in a great chaotic world can one seek huge profits and make a fortune.
Many tribes were pushed by the Hua family towards division and destruction.
The chaos in the wilderness was also pushed by the Hua family.
And the Hua family's forces were intertwined and deeply rooted in the Great Wilderness.
It was as if a blood-sucking poisonous vine was clinging to the big tree of the wilderness, constantly sucking the blood of barbarian cultivators in the name of "trading."
Besides Mo Hua's urgent need for "spirit stones," the current Hua family was also one of the biggest "enemies" for him to promote the unification of the wilderness.
It was just that the enemies of other wilderness tribes were in the light, while the Hua family enemy was in the dark.
But at this point, for Mo Hua, whether it was light or dark didn't matter.
The Money Mouse must be related to the Hua family. If they wanted to harm his life and block his Core Formation, then this "Hua family" had to die.
Mo Hua didn't hold back at all.
In the subsequent conquests, Lu Gu followed Mo Hua's "secret order" to liquidate the various forces parasitic in the Great Wilderness by the Hua family.
Mountain realms tainted by the Hua family were prioritized for breakthrough.
Any Hua family cultivator caught would be killed.
Barbarian tribes related to the Hua family would be thoroughly "cleansed."
Anyone who was too close to the Hua family was almost equivalent to having sold out a large amount of tribal interests, and these people would be killed without mercy.
And when encountering the Hua family's secret "strongholds," Mo Hua would let Lu Gu in.
This "Undying Great General" in the late stage of Jin Dan under the Divine Invoker's command, with the blessing of the Taotie pattern, was almost undying and indestructible. With his own strength, he could almost kill all the "living people" in the stronghold and eat all the Jin Dan... making the Hua family members feel terrified and hear the wind and tremble.
This continued for quite some time.
The Hua family lost many people, the forces they supported were cleared one by one, their territory shrank, their dark lines were pulled out, and for a time, they were greatly frustrated, and many businesses became bad accounts.
The Hua family was furious, especially Elder Yu.
Ruining his business was no different from killing his parents.
He began to pay a high price to win over other large tribes and support new forces to confront Mo Hua.
At the same time, he spared no cost to "infiltrate" the interior of Mo Hua's rule, using inheritance, fame and fortune, and female beauty to corrupt the tribal chieftains and elders who had submitted to Mo Hua.
Most people who had faith had absolute loyalty to the Divine Lord and would not be "corrupted."
But there were also some barbarian cultivators who were greedy for fame, fortune, and female beauty, and gradually began to waver in their faith, changed their original intentions, secretly worked for Elder Yu, stole the tribe's interests, and even dared to secretly assist in harming Mo Hua, this "Divine Invoker lord."
These people were all ordered by Mo Hua to have their heads cut off and hung at the tribe's gate to show the public.
Mo Hua also began to use his own way to treat him, to control the "faith" of some internal cultivators of the Hua family.
Just like this, Mo Hua and the Hua family, especially Elder Yu, played countless "chess games" on this "chessboard" of the wilderness, using tribes as pieces, killing and fighting each other.
At the same time, they also set up "dark pieces," using inheritance to lure people's Dao hearts, using wealth and beauty to corrupt human desires, constantly inciting rebellion, plotting rebellion...
From Dao Calendar 20,043, Great Wilderness New Calendar Year 10, Divine Invoker Year 2, to Great Wilderness New Calendar Year 12, Divine Invoker Year 4.
In just two years, Mo Hua and the Hua family, whether it was conquest and killing in the light or intrigue in the dark, played countless "chess games."
There were bloody storms that could be seen. There were also dark undercurrents that could not be seen.
During this period, Mo Hua had occupied the upper hand, but had also encountered setbacks and sacrificed many troops.
He had occupied the Hua family's territory, but had also been secretly incited by the Hua family, losing some mountain realms.
He had captured the Hua family's prisoners and controlled the "faith" of these Hua family disciples.
But some of the chieftains, elders, close followers, and disciples under his command had also encountered the Hua family's corruption and "betrayed" him.
Mo Hua even had to endure the pain of killing some disciples he had personally educated but who had fallen in their Dao hearts because of the Hua family's temptation.
In these various confrontations, the "hatred" between the two sides became deeper and deeper.
The entire Hua family, from the Hua family ancestor who planned strategies behind the scenes, to Elder Yu who was responsible for business and trading on the front line, to even lower-level Hua family disciples responsible for execution, and the tribal forces that had submitted to the Hua family...
All hated the two words "Divine Invoker" to the bone.
"Doing business is about harmony to make money. In this world, there are no eternal enemies, only eternal interests."
This was Elder Yu's "life principle" that he had always followed.
But now, his "principle" had been distorted.
In this world, there were indeed eternal "enemies."
This enemy was the "Divine Invoker" who served in the name of the Divine Lord, was passed down by word of mouth among barbarian cultivators, and wanted to unify the Great Wilderness and save the living beings.
It was that handsome face like white jade, eyes like gold and jade, a teenager in appearance, but majestic and cold, with not a trace of human aura on his body...
Great Wilderness Divine Invoker.
This Divine Invoker was the biggest enemy of the Hua family in the Great Wilderness.
Even his threat level, so far, was far above the Wang Ting of the Great Wilderness.
Because even the Wang Ting of the Great Wilderness, the rebellious forces, they, the Hua family, could talk business with them and do business with them.
But this Divine Invoker was different.
This Divine Invoker was determined to ruin the Hua family's business, grab the Hua family's spirit stones, kill the Hua family's people, and stifle the Hua family's foundation in the Great Wilderness.
The Hua family naturally could not let it go.
Mo Hua, this Foundation Establishment cultivator, had almost surpassed many Feathering and Void-Piercing experts and risen to the "must-kill" list of the entire Hua family.
It was just that he was now on this must-kill list in the name of "Divine Invoker."
And Mo Hua, on his side, would also not let it go.
He had to kill all the Hua family cultivators in the Great Wilderness, grab all the Hua family's spirit stones in the Great Wilderness, and burn all the Hua family's strongholds in the Great Wilderness.
Eliminate all the "chess pieces" of the Hua family in the Great Wilderness.
Pull out the Hua family's forces in the wilderness by the roots.
The hatred between the two sides was incompatible like fire and water, and not a single step could be yielded.
It was just that... no matter what Mo Hua did next, in the division and disputes with the Hua family in the light and in the dark, he could only occupy the upper hand and could not turn this upper hand into a "winning momentum," thereby eliminating the Hua family's foundation in the wilderness in one fell swoop.
From Divine Invoker Year 2, all the way to Divine Invoker Year 4.
In these two years, Mo Hua had pondered for a long time and felt that the best way was still to kill "Elder Yu."
But he had always been unable to find a good opportunity to take action.
This Elder Yu, although he was only a Jin Dan early-stage elder, could absolutely not be just a Jin Dan early-stage.
He could be recognized by the Hua family ancestor and preside over the layout in the wilderness, so his identity could not be ordinary.
Moreover, this Elder Yu, on the surface, might look like just an unremarkable, slightly harmonious middle-aged cultivator.
But this was likely just his "appearance."
It was the appearance he "disguised" in order to walk among various forces to do business, to be able to handle things with ease, and not to attract suspicion.
No one knew what was hidden in the skin of this middle-aged fat man.
Not to mention, the Hua family ancestor would inevitably "take care" of Elder Yu in terms of karma, protecting his life.
Even if Mo Hua now possessed near-pure divinity and cold rationality, he could not peek at Elder Yu's karma from the heavenly secrets.
Not only that, Mo Hua could sense that his own "karma" was being peeked at by the Hua family instead.
This was a higher-level "peeking."
Because it was very cautious and did not touch his "past," it could instead pose a very strong threat to his current self.
In the two years of fighting with the Hua family, Mo Hua had already felt that the crises around him were more than ten times greater than before.
These crises might come from karma, from demons, from evil spirits, or from some changed people, fallen desires, and insidious hearts...
And Mo Hua knew very well that although his divine sense was very strong, the Divine Dao was almost invincible, and his divinity was pure enough to approach a god, his body was ultimately just a Foundation Establishment skin, unable to withstand any close-range "secret calculation."
Therefore, Mo Hua, as the "Divine Invoker," was more cautious than ever during this period when he was deeply locked by the Hua family's hatred.
Unless it was someone he truly trusted, he never dared to let anyone get close.
And wherever he went, he would bring the big tiger, letting the third-grade Jin Dan realm big tiger stay by his side, acting as his personal bodyguard as the Divine Invoker.
At this time, night fell.
In the Divine Invoker's hall in a certain mountain realm.
The lights were bright, and it was magnificent.
Mo Hua sat on the high position, still focusing on calculating the fortune and direction of the fight with the Hua family.
The black-patterned white-velvet big tiger was lying beside Mo Hua, its head hanging on the ground, dozing off with its eyes drooping.
Its fluffy body was like a city wall, and also like a pile of big blankets, wrapping Mo Hua in the middle.
A moment later, in the night, the big tiger that was dozing off slowly opened its eyes and looked at the entrance of the hall.
Not long after, a person walked in at the entrance, bowing, holding a thick stack of files and jade slips in his hands.
It was Tie Tie Shugu.
"Lord Divine Invoker, this is the current battle situation in each mountain realm, please take a look..."
"Some things you instructed have also been handled for you..."
Mo Hua nodded lightly.
Having received permission, Tie Tie Shugu walked forward respectfully and presented the jade slips and files in his hands to Mo Hua.
Mo Hua looked at Tie Tie Shugu silently, and after a while, said:
"Hard work..."
Tie Tie Shugu bowed:
"Being able to serve Lord Divine Invoker by your side is the greatest honor, Tie Tie Shugu does not feel hard work."
Mo Hua shook his head, "No..."
His eyes contained deep golden light, as if he had seen through Tie Tie Shugu, and his tone was indifferent:
"I mean... hard work for you as the tribe's 'ancestor' to personally come to serve me..."
As soon as the words fell, Tie Tie Shugu's body trembled violently.
He immediately looked up at Mo Hua, and in his eyes, there was already a trace of astonished and gloomy dead gray. ===== CHAPTER 1287 =====
