Immortality Through Array Formations Chapter 967

Chapter 967: Chapter 641 Jia Ren Chapter 967: Chapter 641 Jia Ren “He was a traitor of the Sever Gold Sect who stole things from the Xie family. The Xie family sent the task to the Sect. Senior Sister Murong, Senior Brother Feng, and I took the task and came to Bishan City to catch him. After that, we sent him to the Taoist Prison…”

Mo Hua spoke concisely.

“This person could disguise himself, his flesh twisted and transformed, making it impossible to see his appearance clearly. Moreover, he practiced the Escape Gold Body Skill of the Sever Gold Sect, turning into golden light, running very fast…”

Mo Hua added.

Gu Changhuai's gaze slightly narrowed, and he said in a somber tone,
“He stole things from the Xie family…”

“And after that, the Xie family was wiped out…”

Mo Hua nodded.

He hadn't thought about this before. Now, seeing this Sever Gold Sect traitor, he also found something very peculiar.

Furthermore…

Mo Hua whispered, “How did he get out of the Taoist Prison? Is there…”

A mole in the Taoist Court?

Mo Hua didn't explicitly say it, but Gu Changhuai clearly understood his meaning, his expression growing even more serious.

“I'll have someone investigate this.”

Gu Changhuai took out a golden badge from the Taoist Court, seemingly sending some message out.

Mo Hua's eyes lit up, “The Taoist Court badge can also send messages? Then what about mine…”

“Yours can't.”

“Why not?”

“Non-staff.”

Gu Changhuai was equally concise.

Mo Hua sighed, “Alright then…”

Who said non-staff have no rights, doing the same work for different treatments.

Mo Hua glanced at the rouge shop again and asked,
“Uncle Gu, what do we do next? Should we catch him?”

Gu Changhuai sipped his tea calmly, “No rush, let's observe first…”

Gu Changhuai wasn't in a hurry, so Mo Hua was even less so.

He was also very curious, wanting to know how Uncle Gu, as a Taoist Court Canon, handled cases usually.

How to find clues.

How to catch people.

Know your enemy and yourself, and you can fight a hundred battles without danger.

If someday in the future, he was wanted by the Taoist Court and chased by Uncle Gu, how could he escape from his grasp…

Of course, this was just hypothetical.

He was a good cultivator in Qianxue State, law-abiding!

A good disciple of the Taixu Gate, obedient and dutiful!

There wouldn't be such a day.

But it didn't stop him from learning more, gaining a bit of experience and insight.

The cultivation world was very profound and complex.

Not only did he need to learn the methods of Tao cultivation, but understanding worldly affairs was also a kind of knowledge.

So Mo Hua settled down, continuing to drink tea, watching Gu Changhuai on one side, and observing the rogue shop on the other, keeping an eye on the traitor of the Sever Gold Sect's activities.

The traitor's actions were also very strange.

He came and went in the rouge shop.

Every time he entered and exited, he changed his face and outfit, as if he didn't want to attract attention.

But Mo Hua noted that every time he entered, he only had one storage bag on him.

And when he came out, he had three or four storage bags on him.

Mo Hua quietly used his divine sense to watch him, discovering that he hadn't gone far, just aimlessly wandering with these storage bags nearby.

Bishan City was built along steep mountains.

Beside the streets, there were often staggered and unfathomable cliffs and chasms.

He took advantage of people not noticing, throwing these storage bags into these cliffs and chasms.

After throwing them, he returned to pick more, and continued to throw…

Like… throwing “trash”…

And it seemed his behavior had continued for quite some time.

Mo Hua cracked open a pine nut, leaned closer to Gu Changhuai, and asked in a low voice like exchanging gossip,
“Uncle Gu, is he… disposing of stolen goods?”

Disposing of stolen items…

Gu Changhuai's gaze sharpened, “Possibly…”

“Then should we… catch him now, red-handed?”

Gu Changhuai shook his head.

“He's been disposing of stolen goods for some time now, obviously there are many stolen items, we can't be hasty…”

“Acting rashly might alert him.”

“If there are still henchmen or spies of the Fire Buddha around, any move would alert them…”

“We need to wait for an opportunity to catch him quietly, avoiding attention…”

Mo Hua nodded.

Gu Changhuai was about to say something further when suddenly his expression changed. He picked up the badge, glanced at it quickly, and put it away.

Mo Hua, sharp-eyed, asked, “Did you find the mole?”

Gu Changhuai looked at Mo Hua and sighed, “No…”

“No?” Mo Hua frowned, “He was put in the Taoist Prison and released so quickly, wasn't it because of the mole?”

Gu Changhuai shook his head, “He was released according to the rules.”

Mo Hua was a bit surprised.

Gu Changhuai then said, “I had someone check the records…”

“This person's name is Jia Ren, no criminal record…”

“The Xie family claimed their warehouse was robbed, but they didn't state what exactly was stolen. Moreover, nothing with the Xie family's warehouse mark was found on him–no spiritual artifact, pills, or secret manual…”

“Theft couldn't be charged.”

“As for the Sever Gold Sect…”

“The Sever Gold Sect said they were mistaken, this person wasn't a disciple of the Sever Gold Sect. The one who stole the Sever Gold Sect's inheritance and defected was someone else…”

“So, he wasn't considered a traitor of the Sever Gold Sect either.”

“The only chargeable offense was that he posed as a 'dark courtesan' in an illegally set-up brothel…”

“But…”

Gu Changhuai's expression became a bit subtle, “He's a man…”

“Thus, the Taoist Court could only imprison him for a month on charges of 'fraud' and 'offending morality,' after which he was released…”

“What ulterior motives there were behind the scenes were unknown, but at least on the surface, there was nothing problematic…”

Mo Hua was speechless.

This could work?

He glanced again at this “Jia Ren,” who wore many disguises and constantly changed his appearance, secretly complaining in his heart.
