Immortality Through Array Formations

…

Mo Hua recited each sentence, and Hidden elder-second's face whitened a bit more every time.

By the time Mo Hua had finished, his face was as white as paper, bloodless, and his eyes filled with disbelief.

"You…"

"How is that even possible…"

Mo Hua sighed, "You have violated the ancestral teachings of the Five Hidden Gate…"

Mastering the Minor Five Elements Stealth Skill, but using stealth to ambush and kill, even eviscerating his victims, his methods were brutal.

Other things like invading people's privacy and stealing were probably not foreign to him either.

Given the chance, people tend to do evil.

Not everyone was like himself, with a kind heart and a firm Taoist heart!

Mo Hua nodded.

Now that he had obtained the Minor Five Elements Stealth Skill, Hidden elder-second was useless.

This Hidden elder-second was an old Sin Cultivator, malicious in nature, cunning and brutal, and moreover, very tight-lipped.

He wouldn't say anything, you had to pry his mouth open to get what you wanted.

Now, Mo Hua had what he wanted.

Afterward, all he had to do was hand Hidden elder-second over to the Taoist Court, exchange him for Merit Points, and all would be well.

"You, head to the Taoist Court, and enjoy your "severed head feast"!"

Mo Hua said from a position of authority to Hidden elder-second, who was kneeling on the ground.

Hidden elder-second still glared fiercely at Mo Hua, as if he wanted to etch Mo Hua's image into his mind forever, to haunt him even as a ghost.

Mo Hua was not afraid of him.

If he turned into a "ghost," he was even less afraid.

However, seeing Hidden elder-second looking venomously at him, Mo Hua wasn't so magnanimous.

Following Mo Hua's "kind" suggestion, both arms of Hidden elder-second were broken again, his right hand's tendons plucked, and his meridians destroyed…

This way, he could never cause any trouble again.

Ouyang Feng dragged Hidden elder-second by the collar as they left Canglang Mountain, went through Luopan Mountain Road, and arrived at the Taoist Court in Qianxue State Boundary.

The transition at the Taoist Court was relatively smooth.

With broken arms and legs, and even missing front teeth, "disabled" like Hidden elder-second, he was temporarily thrown into the Taoist Prison, where the Court Official held a hearing and sentenced him.

Then everyone could return to the Sect and wait for the task settlement and distribution of Merit Points.

Mo Hua also wanted to meet Supervisor Gu, but after looking around, he didn't see Gu Changhuai's tall, dashing, somewhat arrogant, and a bit flamboyant figure.

Mo Hua asked the Enforcement Leader, who informed him that Gu Changhuai was out on a mission. He wasn't at the Taoist Court for the time being.

As a Third Grade Supervisor, he was usually quite busy.

Mo Hua felt a bit regretful.

He wanted to discuss some matters with Uncle Gu...

…

Now that their task was accomplished, everyone was ready to return to the Sect.

On the return to the Sect, Murong Caiyun had rented a carriage which was filled with sweet fruits and fragrant tea.

Everyone's mood was very light.

They had thought this mission would take a long time, require a lot of effort, and inevitably involve some dangers.

But unexpectedly, everything went incredibly smoothly.

No one was injured, the delay was minimal, and the mission was completed in just one day, allowing them to return to the Sect.

Thus, the atmosphere inside the carriage was quite relaxed.

Murong Caiyun and Hua Qianqian, drinking floral tea, whispered intimate words with their delicate hands covering their mouths, laughing.

Shangguan Xu polished his Heavy Sword.

Mo Hua held a large melon, gazing at the scenery outside the window while enjoying the fragrant and sweet treat.

Only Ouyang Feng seemed preoccupied, occasionally looking at Mo Hua, his expression torn as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.

Just when he looked troubled, a bright red Spirit Fruit suddenly appeared before him, and a crisp voice rang out.

"Senior Brother Feng, have some fruit."

Ouyang Feng was taken aback and then chuckled, taking the fruit from Mo Hua's hand, warmly saying,

"Thank you."

Mo Hua nodded and took another bite of the melon, puffing his cheeks, and asked,

"Senior Brother, is there something you want to ask me?"

Ouyang Feng paused briefly, sighed, and said,

"This question might be a bit rude, but I still want to ask…"

Ouyang Feng paused again, his voice deep,

"Junior Brother Mo, how did you unlock that Sealing Pattern?"

Silence fell in the carriage for a moment.

Shangguan Xu stopped polishing his sword, Murong Caiyun and Hua Qianqian stopped their whispers, and looked up at Mo Hua.

Clearly, they all wanted to know about the unsealing.

But they were worried about prying into the secrets of Tao Cultivation, so it was hard for them to ask.

Mo Hua calmly said, "I was lucky, I guessed it!"

Ouyang Feng bit into the Spirit Fruit, silently looking at Mo Hua.

Murong Caiyun and the others squinted their eyes, obviously not convinced.

Mo Hua then explained, "I noted down some Secondary Thunder Patterns, which are pretty much similar to the 'Secret Patterns.' When unsealing, I just tried my luck, one by one."

"If you're lucky, you can unlock it…"

He was able to unlock the seal on the Minor Five Elements Stealth Skill Jade Slip indeed due to some luck.

Hidden elder-second was on Boss Jiang's "list."

Keeping a possibility in mind, Mo Hua used the "Secondary Thunder Pattern Library" collected from Boss Jiang's Jade Slip to attempt to unlock Hidden elder-second's Jade Slip seal.

It took about a dozen tries, but he did manage to unlock it.

It really was good luck, guessed it.

However, this bit of luck required substantial Divine Sense Calculation Power, a "solid" accumulation of knowledge in formations, and "strong" expertise in formations.

These deeper aspects were things Ouyang Feng didn't know, as he only exclaimed,

"You learned the Yuan Magnetic Formation?"

Mo Hua didn't hide it and nodded, "Learned a little bit."

Ouyang Feng sighed inwardly.
