Immortality Through Array Formations

Chapter 1025: Chapter 657 Year 1_3 Chapter 1025: Chapter 657 Year 1_3 The seven-day holiday was over, Fire Buddha was dead, and Meteor Fire Skill had been obtained—classes were set to start tomorrow.

But before leaving, he still needed to sync up their “testimony” with Uncle Gu.

While munching on a fruit, Mo Hua whispered,

“Uncle Gu, you killed Fire Buddha by yourself, please don’t mention me…”

Gu Changhuai frowned, “You don’t want to take the credit?”

“Mmm,” Mo Hua nodded, “Fire Buddha was a Demon Cultivator; who knows if he might have had other followers or accomplices in secret…”

“As a mere Foundation Building Cultivator, it could be very dangerous if they targeted me!”

Gu Changhuai was silent, somewhat speechless in his mind.

Which one is actually dangerous, Demon Cultivators or you…

However, it was true that Mo Hua’s cultivation was low, and as a cultivator at the initial stage of Foundation Establishment, the risks were indeed too high…

Gu Changhuai nodded, “I understand.”

Mo Hua’s eyes squinted with a smile.

With that “testimony” synchronized, everything was perfect.

No one else would know that Fire Buddha’s death was related to him.

He was just being chased by Fire Buddha, an innocent and inconspicuous little disciple from a Sect.

After reflecting for a moment, Gu Changhuai gave Mo Hua another silent look.

In the valley, two fireballs collided, the skill pattern collapsed, fused together, the Spiritual Power Fusion formed a terrifying little fireball, and ripped through Fire Buddha’s chest—this image emerged in his mind.

Gu Changhuai couldn’t help but tremble his eyelids, saying in a deep voice,

“Your… spell…”

Mo Hua was startled, “What spell?”

Gu Changhuai’s face was expressionless, “There’s no one else here.”

Mo Hua gave an awkward smile, “It’s nothing really, just a ‘very ordinary’ Fireball Technique…”

Gu Changhuai’s voice was cold,

“For someone at the initial stage of Foundation Establishment to pierce the chest of a Demon Cultivator at the peak of Foundation Establishment with a single Fireball Technique is indeed ‘very ordinary’…”

Gu Changhuai emphasized “very ordinary” heavily.

Mo Hua blinked, “It’s all a coincidence… Fire Buddha’s chest had a vital spot; the flaw was too great, and perhaps it was just pierced by my Fireball Technique…”

“It’s his bad luck…”

Seeing Mo Hua’s thick-skinned, paper-pure innocent face, Gu Changhuai felt helpless.

Gu Changhuai sighed, “Go back and think it over, look for a more reliable excuse.”

After speaking, he added another sentence, “You don’t need to tell the excuse to me…”

It meant that if it ever came out in the future, as long as it could fool others, that would suffice.

Mo Hua’s eyes brightened as he smiled,

“Thank you, Uncle Gu!”

Gu Changhuai helplessly shook his head.

Originally, he thought that Mo Hua’s talent in Formation was incredible, but what he never expected was that he had also hidden an extremely terrifying spell.

How could other cultivators at the same realm even compete with him?

This time, Taixu Gate truly found a “little monster”…

And from the outside, it didn’t show at all—a face of innocence, just looking like a harmless little disciple.

Gu Changhuai couldn’t help but shake his head again.

Seeing that Gu Changhuai looked a bit tired, Mo Hua said, “Uncle Gu, I won’t disturb you any longer, you rest well. I’m heading back to the Sect.”

“Yes.” Gu Changhuai nodded.

Mo Hua casually picked up a Spirit Fruit, turned around, and walked away. After walking for a bit, Gu Changhuai called out to him.

“Mo Hua.”

Mo Hua turned back, confused.

Thinking that Uncle Gu, a Court Official at the Golden Core Realm, wouldn’t be so stingy to not let him take a Spirit Fruit to eat…

Gu Changhuai looked conflicted, with proud sorrow in his gaze, and after hesitating for a long time, he reluctantly whispered,

“Thank you…”

After all, without Mo Hua, he might really not have been able to kill Fire Buddha.

And failing to bring Fire Buddha to justice would have inevitably left endless troubles for the future.

This “thank you” was very reluctant and nearly inaudible.

Mo Hua was taken aback, then his face burst into a radiant, sunny smile.

“Sure!”

…

Afterwards, Mo Hua returned to the Sect.

He first visited Elder Master Xun, announcing that he had completed his Formation work and that the Taoist Court, mainly the Gu Family, was very grateful to him.

Elder Master Xun didn’t doubt him, stroking his beard in satisfaction.

Having good relations with the Taoist Court and the Gu Family would make future actions much smoother.

Then, Mo Hua resumed his regular classes.

Some fellow disciples, such as Cheng Mo, Situ Jian, and Zheng Fang, curiously asked all sorts of questions after class.

They asked Mo Hua how he managed to take a seven-day leave? How did he get it approved? Who approved it? What did he do during these seven days?

Mo Hua simply said he was working on Formation for seven days.

They immediately lost interest.

Only Zheng Fang, full of curiosity, asked some questions about the Formation.

Mo Hua selectively shared some fascinating knowledge about the Formation, managing to confuse Zheng Fang.

Afterwards, everything calmed down.

Mo Hua resumed his normal, stable life in the Sect as usual.

Bi Mountain Demon Cavern, the sinister Demon Palace, the Bronze Maze, the mysterious altar, along with a host of Demon Cultivators, and the annihilated Demon Head—Fire Buddha, all gradually faded away.

And soon, Mo Hua’s first year in the Sect came to an end.
