Chapter 2862: Danque Reunion (Part 2)

This chapter is updated by JustRead.pl

Mo Hua shook his head, "He lied."

His squad, with a force of about twenty people, wouldn’t dare to try to seize the Shugubu headquarters even with ten times the courage.

Moreover, the Danque Tribe and the Shugubu have a ’long-standing feud’, and if caught, there’s only one outcome: death.

Chi Yan isn’t a fool; he wouldn’t risk his life for mere supplies.

The only possibility is that he’s here under orders from the Great Chief of the Danque Tribe to scout the realities of the Shugubu.

The Great Chief’s orders, as a Barbarian General, must be obeyed.

Only then would he be willing to risk his life to spy on the Shugubu.

However, the current Shugubu is under Mo Hua’s ’control’; its surroundings have early been fortified with various alert formations and layers of enemy-confounding tactics by Mo Hua.

The cultivators of the Barbarian Tribes mostly lack the experience to combat Mo Hua and don’t know that Mo Hua, this ’shaman,’ is actually an exceedingly nasty Formation Master.

Unaware of the depths, Chi Yan charged straight into Mo Hua’s formation and naturally was caught ’like a turtle in a jar.’

But when Dan Zhu asked why Chi Yan came, Chi Yan lied.

This indicated that Chi Yan doesn’t trust Dan Zhu and is filled with suspicion towards this former Young Master of the Danque Tribe, unwilling to speak the truth.

Dan Zhu obviously thought it over as well, his expression a bit somber, then he raised his head to look at Mo Hua, a trace of expectation in his eyes.

Mo Hua understood his thought and asked, "You want to see your father?"

Dan Zhu nodded.

Mo Hua pondered for a moment and nodded slightly, "Alright, I’ll think of a way."

Dan Zhu was delighted.

"But..." Mo Hua’s eyes darkened slightly, "Have you really thought it through?"

Dan Zhu was stunned, his expression turning heavy again, knowing exactly what Mo Hua meant.

"Once you meet your father again and reunite with the Danque Tribe, it will be the time for you to make a decision."

"Will you pursue your grand vision, strengthen your Taoist Heart, tread forward step by step on thorns... even if these thorns are stained with the fresh blood of your family."

"Or will you compromise for the love of family and brothers and be willing to give up your inner ideals."

"This is your life’s choice; there is no more avoiding it."

Dan Zhu wore a pained expression, evidently still troubled, "Gentleman, I..."

Mo Hua shook his head, "No need to say it aloud. Ask your heart more. Words can deceive, even deceive oneself, but your heart will not."

Dan Zhu silently nodded.

Mo Hua confirmed once again seriously, "Do you really want to go see your father now?"

Dan Zhu’s face fluctuated in expression, and his heart was uneasy, but in the end, he still nodded resolutely, "Yes."

Mo Hua slowly nodded, "Good."

Some things are inescapable after all.

Dan Zhu, too, will eventually face the day he has to make a decision.

...

Mo Hua personally went to meet Chi Yan, without extra words, straight to the point:

"Take me to see your Great Chief of the Danque Tribe."

Based on some clues and intuition on causality, Mo Hua could roughly deduce that the Danque Tribe is not too far from where the Shugubu is located.

However, trying to calculate with the Causality Skill still didn’t yield a clear answer.

Presumably, the position of the Danque headquarters is also concealed by some ’heavenly secret’ technique.

That’s why Mo Hua couldn’t determine it.

Since Elder You’s small ’counter-calculation’ against him, Mo Hua has become much humbler about his Causality Skill, no longer thinking that every world event can be calculated in a mere thought and gesture.

The world is vast, full of wonders.

It’s normal for some things to be incalculable.

Since it’s indeterminable, naturally, he can only find someone to lead the way.

But Chi Yan glanced at Mo Hua and shook his head, "I was separated from the headquarters early on, lost and wandering, and do not know where the Great Chief may be."

Mo Hua’s eyes were clear and mirror-like, looking at Chi Yan, calmly stating, "I am a shaman. I can distinguish truth from lie just by listening."

Under Mo Hua’s gaze, Chi Yan inexplicably felt like he was exposed like a skinned frog, seen cleanly through.

Chi Yan wanted to say something, but Mo Hua shook his head and said:

"My patience is limited."

Chi Yan’s face was as hard as water, and after a moment, he slowly opened his mouth, "I will not take you to see the Great Chief."

Mo Hua said with a faint smile, "Are you afraid I will harm your Great Chief?"

Chi Yan was equivocating.

After all, the Great Chief of the Shugubu had just died not long ago, the grass on his grave hadn’t even had time to grow...

Mo Hua’s resolve shifted slightly, and he offered guarantees:

"You can rest assured, I will not act against the Danque Great Chief; after all, the Great Chief previously treated me with considerable courtesy. I owe the Great Chief this favor; I’m going to see him for an important matter, concerning the fate of the Danque Tribe and the future of the Great Wilderness..."

Chi Yan still shook his head, "I don’t believe you."

Mo Hua then asked, "Do you think I’m deceiving you with big words?"

Chi Yan frowned; he felt every thought and notion was entirely seen through by this young shaman before him, growing colder in heart.

But he still shook his head, stubbornly saying, "Nothing you say will work."

Mo Hua’s gaze sharpened, slowly stating, "You won’t let me see the Great Chief, then what about the Young Master Dan Zhu? Do you also not wish for Young Master Dan Zhu to return to the Danque Tribe?"

Chi Yan’s face changed, his expression becoming increasingly unpleasant, his tone somber:

"What exactly have you done to Young Master Dan Zhu? Why does the distinguished Young Master Dan Zhu, a Golden Core Realm barbarian prodigy, obey you, a Foundation Establishment shaman? Why is he willing to lower his status and be with these thieves of the Shugubu?"

Mo Hua shook his head, "These are not matters for you to know."
