Demon Sect.
In front of the Blood Pool.
A group of Demon Sect Elders were present, draped in black robes. Some resembled humans, some appeared as beasts, with fangs and blood-red pupils, all bearing bizarre and grotesque appearances.
The atmosphere was eerie and oppressive at this moment.
"Lao Ba ran away?"
"Yes."
"Why did he run?"
"What a stupid question, if he didn't run, he'd be dead."
"But how did he know to run, who tipped him off?"
Elder You, with dog patterns carved on his body, said indifferently: "According to Mr. Yuan, it was an 'anonymous' person who tipped off Lao Ba."
"Mr. Yuan..."
"Another anonymous person, who is this person really?"
"So, besides Lao Ba, there's another 'internal spy' in our Demon Sect tipping someone off?"
"Not necessarily..."
...
As everyone conversed, a chubby elder spoke up:
"In the end, is this Mr. Yuan truly trustworthy?"
The group of Golden Core Demons all looked towards Elder You.
Elder You glanced at the chubby elder, "Half a month ago, when Taoist Court besieged us, it was Mr. Yuan's intercepted information that saved hundreds of your disciples and followers. Otherwise, you wouldn't even have blood food right now."
The chubby elder fell silent.
He was like 'someone holding the breadbasket,' not to be offended.
A thin and short elder asked: "What is Mr. Yuan's proficiency in formations?"
Elder You responded solemnly, "Extremely profound."
The short elder nodded, "He's a talent, should be retained for our Demon Sect's use. What does he fancy? Human blood? Human flesh? Spirit Stones, treasures, or women?"
Elder You replied calmly: "That's not your concern."
The short elder's gaze turned cold, with a displeased look.
"We'll discuss Mr. Yuan later," an elderly elder from above said, his blood-tinged eyes scanning everyone, "...first deal with Lao Ba."
There was a moment of silence, then someone asked: "So it's confirmed that Lao Ba is the internal spy?"
"The Taoist Court surrounded him but spared his life. If he's not an internal spy, who is?"
"If he's the internal spy of the Taoist Court, why didn't he just defect to them when the Demon Sect was exposed?"
"That's true too..."
"What do you mean? This question is simple. The Taoist Court bribed Lao Ba to leak intelligence, now that he's exposed, he's useless. The Taoist Court dogs would rather skin him, break his bones, and extract some secrets from his mouth."
"Thus, defecting to the Demon Sect means death, defecting to the Taoist Court is also death, his only choice was to flee."
"So, we need to catch him before the Taoist Court does, can't let him fall into their hands."
"Who will go kill him?"
At this question, everyone subdued their breath and fell silent.
Fighting among fellow members, coupled with the risk of being detected by the Taoist Court, was not something anyone wanted to do.
"Let Lao Si go then."
"Elder Xue?"
"Indeed, Lao Si has been locked up for a year, he hasn't had a kill in a long time, letting him kill Lao Ba is just right. He's simple-minded, as long as there's someone to kill, he's fine."
Elder You frowned, "Lao Si isn't easily mobilized, if he kills too much, the thing residing in him..."
Elder You paused, not daring to say those two words, instead saying, "If the killings are too heavy, his evil thoughts will grow boundlessly, and once they exceed the limit, the flesh body of a Golden Core won't be able to bear it. If he goes berserk, we followers of the Divine Lord would all die by the Divine Lord's hand."
Everyone's expressions changed at these words.
At the standoff, the usually silent leader of the Demon Sect, sitting at the head, suddenly spoke:
"Let Lao Si go."
His voice was dull and hoarse, exuding unquestionable authority.
Elder You didn't understand, but it was the leader's command, so he said: "Yes, I'll arrange to release Lao Si."
The decision was made just like that, but someone was puzzled, "Lao Ba's whereabouts are unknown, how do we chase him?"
Elder You said: "Mr. Yuan is skilled in the Yuan Magnetic Formation, he has ways to track Lao Ba."
"Again with this Mr. Yuan?"
Everyone frowned.
The elderly Second Elder in the upper seat then confirmed with Elder You: "Lao San, is this Mr. Yuan really trustworthy?"
Elder You contemplated for a moment before saying slowly: "This person is a perfect 'tool.'"
The Second Elder understood and nodded: "Good."
...
After the meeting ended and departing the Blood Pool, Elder You sent a transmission to Mo Hua:
"Mr. Yuan, the sect will send Lao Si to kill Lao Ba, please guide him."
Mo Hua hesitated: "This task is not easy to handle..."
"Then Mr...."
Mo Hua: "Needs more money."
Elder You paused, then said: "Three hundred thousand Spirit Stones."
Mo Hua responded readily: "Deal!"
Elder You transmitted a piece of Magnetic Pattern to Mo Hua, "Lao Si loves killing, and has an unstable mind, but he can still understand the Demon Sect Token."
"When Mr. Yuan locates Lao Ba, pass it to Lao Si for him to chase and kill."
"As for how to locate, how to use this Magnetic Pattern, Mr. Yuan is an 'expert,' I suppose I don't need to say more..."
Actually, Mo Hua didn't quite know either.
He had used Thunder Magnetic Flow for locating, but to use the relationship between the Demon Sect Token and the Original Magnetic Compound Formation for positioning, he hadn't tried yet.
But at such times, he couldn't show hesitation, Mo Hua said confidently: "Of course."
"Thank you, Mr. Yuan."
"Rest assured, Elder You, the Eighth Elder won't escape."
Then Elder You transmitted a piece of Magnetic Pattern to Mo Hua.
Mo Hua spent some time studying this Magnetic Pattern, and discovered that within it was an Original Magnet Sequence, and it was an elder-level sequence.
Using this Original Magnet Sequence, one could utilize the formation pivot of the Original Magnetic Compound Formation to locate the corresponding Sect Token's position.
