"If this continues, the ranking will drop even further, we need to think of something..."
Mo Hua pondered for a moment and then opened the roster for the Sword Discussion Conference, discovering that in the next dozens of sword discussion sessions, Taixu Gateâs biggest opponent in the Xuan Character Bureau was actually...
The Sever Gold Sect.
Both the Gui Water Sect and the Sever Gold Sect are among the newly risen Eight Great Gates.
So, they can also be considered as the "goalkeeper" of the Eight Great Gates.
Itâs normal for them to encounter the Xuan Character Bureau frequently.
From now on, every disciple of the Taixu Gate, in at least one-third of the numerous Xuan Character sword discussions, would be facing the Sever Gold Sect.
Mo Huaâs eyes showed contemplation.
The Sever Gold Sect was indeed an old rival...
When they first entered the Demon Hunting Mountain, Mo Hua and his junior brothers first clashed with the disciples of the Sever Gold Sect.
During this period, they exchanged many blows.
The various grievances were too complex to explain in a short time.
Mo Huaâs eyes brightened slightly.
But since itâs the Sever Gold Sect, it will be much easier to handle.
His previously designed "Gold-Cutting Armor" can be used again.
And thereâs more.
Mo Hua now carries two of the Sever Gold Sectâs core legacies.
The Sever Gold Sword Control Jue and the Gold-Cutting Sword Formation, all had their "Sword Dao Laws" extracted and integrated into his Divine Thought transformation into a sword.
Although in reality, his Sever Gold Sword Qi isnât worth mentioning,
Within the realm of Divine Thought, especially his understanding of the Sever Gold Sword Laws, is profoundly deep.
In other words, the core legacy of the Sever Gold Sect, at least the part up to Foundation Establishment, is all in Mo Huaâs hands.
By using these legacies to improve the "Gold-Cutting Armor", and crafting a "Sever Gold Sword", his chances against the Sever Gold Sect disciples would increase by at least twenty percent.
With the core legacy being grasped by him, a Formation Master, the Sever Gold Sect hardly stands a chance.
"No wonder they say, once a sectâs legacy is leaked, it will cause endless trouble..."
Mo Hua nodded in acknowledgment.
Now he himself is the "bane" of the Sever Gold Sect.
Afterwards, Mo Hua began to iterate on the "Sever Gold Sword" and craft the "Breaking Gold Sword", specifically targeting the Sever Gold Sect.
But after planning for a moment, Mo Hua couldnât help but think of a person.
He flipped through the Sword Discussion list several times and finally found a nameâ
Song Jian.
Since the upheaval in the Valley of Ten Thousand Demons, the Sever Gold Sect has been in turmoil, with internal power shifts, the downfall of the Jin family, the rise of the Song family, and subsequent issues, Mo Hua was too busy to keep in touch with Song Jian.
But now with the Sword Discussion Conference encountering the Sever Gold Sect again...
Mo Hua thought it over and sent a message to Song Jian.
They had a specially made Letter Token between the two of them.
Mo Hua had acquired it through Gu Changhuaiâs channels, from the Taoist Courtâs warehouse.
After obtaining it, Mo Hua, still uneasy, "modified" the Magnetic Patterns himself, specifically for secure communication.
In between the Xuan Character sword discussions, there is usually a day left for disciples to rest and prepare for the battle.
Mo Hua happened to have a day free.
The next day, Mo Hua went to the Refining Demon Mountain, to a secluded little forest.
This was the agreed meeting place.
Mo Hua squatted in a tree, bored, waiting for a long time until Song Jian finally arrived late, entered the forest, and looked around like a thief.
Mo Hua whistled.
Song Jian looked up, saw it was Mo Hua, and then breathed a sigh of relief, using his movement technique, within a few moments, he leaped onto a tree branch and sat opposite Mo Hua.
"What do you want from me?"
Song Jian asked.
After several years, Song Jian had grown taller, his face paler, but his complexion was better.
Having experienced the Valley of Ten Thousand Demons incident, he had learned about the worldâs dangers and the unfathomable nature of people, making his demeanor much more composed.
Yet in front of Mo Hua, he couldnât help but feel a bit uneasy.
After all, Mo Huaâs actions in the Valley of Ten Thousand Demons had left a deep impact on him, which he couldnât forget to this day.
"Are you about to participate in the sword discussion?" Mo Hua didnât mince words, getting straight to the point.
"Yes..." Song Jian nodded lightly.
"Iâll help you with something," Mo Hua said, "Do you have any enemies or competitors in your sect? Tell me who they are, and Iâll help you âsuppressâ them a bit."
"Youâll help me?" Song Jian was stunned.
"What else?" Mo Hua looked as if it was only natural.
Song Jian frowned, "Is there... a catch?"
In any mind game, he really couldnât compete with Mo Hua.
Since thatâs the case, it would be better to be honest and ask clearly.
Mo Hua nodded, "Thereâs a small request... Tell me the detailed information about your opponents, what cultivation techniques they practice, what sword moves they excel at, what habits they have, any trump cards they hold..."
Song Jian had never seen someone so brazenly shameless, actually asking him to "betray" his sect in such a bold manner.
"This doesnât seem right..." Song Jian replied tactfully.
"Whatâs not right about it," Mo Hua said, "The Sword Discussion Conference isnât just about the sword discussions on stage, thereâs also information gathering off stage."
"Intelligence gathering is also a form of warfare."
"Hasnât your Sever Gold Sect been trying to gather information about our Taixu Gate disciples as well?"
Song Jian nodded silently.
This was indeed the truth, and he couldnât refute it.
Before the sword discussions, they would definitely gather information on each other, and the Sever Gold Sectâs methods could be even more "underhanded" than Mo Huaâs.
"Exactly," Mo Hua continued, "Actually, I already have ways to target your Sever Gold Sect, this information is just icing on the cake..."
This was also true.
The Sever Gold Sectâs core sword formation, leaked into the hands of Mo Hua, this formation demon, was already a huge stroke of bad luck.
He gathered this information just to ensure foolproof success.
It would be great to obtain it, but even without it, it doesnât really matter.
It would just be slightly harder to beat, thatâs all.
Song Jian had suffered too many losses from Mo Hua, knew how formidable Mo Hua was, and didnât doubt his capabilities.
