The Quest for Immortality

Chapter 834 -601 Bald_2

"A mere First-grade Formation isn’t difficult if one knows it.”

After a single glance, Mo Hua had the Small Yuan Magnetic Formation Patterns completely in hand.

When he looked towards the mountainside again, those formations woven into the vegetation and stone were clearly visible.

With a sweep of his Divine Sense, Mo Hua saw everything.

"There is a formation behind that large rock

"In the middle of the mountain path ahead, about thirty feet away, there is another one

...

"Underneath the bark, there is also a Small Yuan Magnetic Formation

…

As Mo Hua walked, he pointed everything out.

Murong Caiyun and the others began to grow a bit astonished.

Obvious formations were no surprise for them to see Mo Hua spotting, but he was also pinpointing every single intricate and hard-to-find formation without fail.

Even those formations that were cunningly set in remote spots, which they hadn’t noticed or were too far away for them to see in time, could not escape Mo Hua’s Divine Sense.

By now, they somewhat believed that Mo Hua truly had some capabilities.

"Skilled in” formation might have been an exaggeration,

But his talent for formations was definitely impressive.

Everyone relaxed and looked at Mo Hua with much warmer eyes.

On a Sect mission filled with dangers, they did not wish to bring along a “burden,” although this burden was adorable-looking.

Two hours later, the group arrived at a hillside.

It looked ordinary, but hidden beneath the vegetation was a secret cave entrance.

Inside the cave, the fugitive known as “Bald Eagle” was hiding.

The group hid behind some rocks and discussed their capture plan.

But these matters were irrelevant to Mo Hua.

His role primarily involved unraveling formations; having come this far, he had completed most of his task, the rest did not require his involvement.

As Senior Sister Murong had put it,

"Stay hidden, do not show yourself, protect yourself well, and flee if necessary

It was both out of concern for Mo Hua and to prevent him from inadvertently sabotaging their plans.

Should he be captured by the Bald Eagle and used as a hostage, the situation would become extremely dire.

Mo Hua nodded repeatedly, “Sister, don’t worry.”

He was quite adept at preserving his own life.

However, thinking that if his seniors acted quickly and killed the “Bald Eagle,” he wouldn’t get a chance to show his “amazing skills,” and then they might not include him in future bounties…

Mo Hua thought to himself that he should still make himself useful…

The woods were desolate, the hillside silent.

Weeds and stones were chaotic, with no trace of human activity.

Mo Hua’s Divine Sense flickered subtly, sweeping the surroundings, his eyes shimmering as he whispered:

"A hundred and fifty feet west from here, there is a Trap Gold Formation, Second-grade Eleven-pattern;”

"One hundred and fifty feet to the east, there is a Trapped Mountain Formation, a Bagua Mountain trapping Formation, Second-grade Fourteen-pattern

"At the entrance of the cave, there’s a Gen Mountain Formation, Second-grade

"Outside the cave, ten feet away, there’s a… Small Yuan Magnetic Formation? But it’s also Second-grade

…

Mo Hua listed all the nearby formations without missing a single one, virtually seeing through the lair of the “Bald Eagle.”

Not only Murong Caiyun but even Ouyang Feng and the others were somewhat astonished.

"Have you… studied Second-grade Formations?”

Mo Hua modestly replied, “A little bit

Everyone was slightly shocked, exchanging looks, realizing that they had vastly underestimated this innocently faced Junior Brother.

He had seen through every formation laid by others without missing any.

Such profound skill and understanding of formations must be extremely deep.

Indeed, no mediocrity could enter the Eight Great Gates.

Their “Formation Master” was not hired in vain.

Ouyang Feng released his Divine Sense, confirming what Mo Hua had said; without Mo Hua pointing them out, he wouldn’t have noticed these formations at all, nodding in appreciation,

"Not bad, thanks to Junior Brother Mo. This makes it much easier for us to capture Bald Eagle.”

"Let’s proceed with the plan and lure out Bald Eagle

Mo Hua was smilingly about to say something when his expression suddenly changed, and he sighed,

"No need

Everyone was startled.

Mo Hua whispered, “Bald Eagle has noticed us.”

The faces of Ouyang Feng and others darkened, and they focused intently, indeed noticing that a deep and chilling Divine Sense had filled the surroundings without them realizing when it had appeared.

In an instant, Mo Hua identified:

"Sixteen-Pattern Divine Consciousness!”

"Peak of the Middle Phase of Foundation Establishment!”

"And… not just one person

Ouyang Feng looked slightly stunned; Murong Caiyun and the others were also somewhat dazed.

They hadn’t noticed anything yet; how did this Junior Brother know it all?

But with a great enemy at hand, there was no time to inquire.

Ouyang Feng’s gaze hardened with decisiveness, “Kill!”

Then killing intent suddenly descended.

A dense surge of Sword Qi, imbued with a hint of strangeness, tore through the air and smashed the giant rock where they were hiding, but Ouyang Feng promptly drew his sword and countered them all.

Dust and stone chips flew as the dust settled.

Ouyang Feng, holding a Red Gold Yellow Maple Sword, stood before the rest, his towering stance and sharp features exuding an extraordinary aura.

Shangguan Xu drew a Streamer Giant Sword with a backhand, his demeanor formidable.

Hua Qianqian’s dainty hand extended, dozens of Hundred Flowers Spirit Needles floating in front of her.

Murong Caiyun’s fingers formed spells, and the hairpin in her hair shone brightly, emitting multicolored light; her fingertips were also gathering magic…
