Immortality Through Array Formations

Chapter 1359: Chapter 762 Turmoil_3

The Chongxu Sect Elder cupped his hands and said: ”Yes.”

Then he was about to turn and leave, but was suddenly stopped by the Chongxu Ancestor.

The Chongxu Ancestor frowned and said solemnly, ”Find some... trustworthy people.”

The Chongxu Sect Elder was taken aback, then nodded.

”And...”

The Chongxu Ancestor paused for a moment, his gaze cold, and carefully took out a Sword Command, handing it to the Chongxu Sect Elder.

”Take this Sword Command with you. If you’re uncertain, activate the Sword Command.”

The Elder was shocked, his expression somewhat incredulous.

He quickly realized that the Ancestor’s earlier words about the Qianxue State Boundary Sect’s restructuring being a great upheaval unseen for a thousand years might not be mere rhetoric.

The child Xiaoer is more important than he had imagined.

The Elder immediately said: ”Yes.”

But he hesitated, ”However, the Refining Demon Mountain has a Formation, and Feather Transformation is forbidden. Forcibly descending upon Heaven Void also violates the ’prohibition’ of the Qianxue State Boundary...”

”That can’t be helped...” the Chongxu Ancestor sighed.

The Chongxu Sect Elder felt a shiver in his heart and bowed his head, ”Yes, this junior will strive to atone for his sins and bring Xiaoer out.”

...

Inner Mountain of Refining Demon Mountain.

Two Golden Core Demon Cultivators were lurking in the cave.

One was burly, with a face full of flesh, like a giant bear.

The other was slim and short, with long narrow eyebrows, resembling a poisonous snake.

”Damn it, miscalculated, really unlucky...”

”We know the Chongxu Sect Elder who practices Sword Qi, but where did that elder who controls the sword with Void and carries Sword Intent all over suddenly come from?”

”What’s his background?”

The demon cultivator resembling a black bear frowned and said, ”Seems like he’s from the Taixu Gate...”

The skinny and short snake-faced demon cultivator cursed sharply:

”In the middle of the night, why is a Taixu Gate Elder full and idle, running to Refining Demon Mountain to ruin my plan!”

The Black Bear Demon was confused, shaking his head, ”Maybe he’s on duty at night, patrolling the mountain.”

The snake-faced demon cultivator said, ”If he wasn’t in the way, the two of us demon cultivators would have fought close, and that Chongxu Sect Elder would have died in this mountain long ago.”

Then he jumped up and cursed angrily:

”That useless Third, how many times have I said it, just hold it off! But he let the Monster Qi rise to his head, his mind clouded by lard, wanting to test if the Chongxu Sect’s Sword Qi is sharp...”

”As a result, he had his arm cut off by the Chongxu Sect Elder with one sword, and now we have to clean up the mess, truly a waste!”

”Where did Third go?”

”Don’t know,” the snake-faced demon cultivator sneered, ”probably also hiding in the Inner Mountain.”

The Black Bear Demon, despite his burly and violent appearance, was rather calm in temperament.

He thought for a moment, puzzled, and asked:

”Big Brother, why rush this when we could proceed slowly and without leaving a trace?”

”You don’t understand,” the snake-faced demon cultivator said, ”those disciples are key.”

”Mr. Tu calculated that even though the risk is high, now is the last chance to capture those three kids.”

”After missing this opportunity, it might not be possible to capture them later.”

”That’s why we acted forcefully.”

The Black Bear Demon was puzzled, ”What difference does it make if we capture them later?”

The snake-faced demon cultivator frowned, ”Mr. Tu mentioned entangled causality, many variables, he couldn’t calculate precisely, anyway, grabbing them if possible is correct. The chips should naturally be held in our own hands first!”

The Black Bear Demon slowly nodded, then frowned:

”Wouldn’t there be problems in the Valley of Ten Thousand Demons?”

The snake-faced demon cultivator pondered, then sneered, ”What problems could arise in the Valley?”

”We elders are just sitting in the town...”

”The Valley of Ten Thousand Demons is complete with formations, has strict monster regulations, and is self-contained.”

”The organizational structure within the Valley follows one of the major powers of the Demon Path Monster Gate, the Ten Thousand Demon Mountain, with a heritage of thousands of years, how could there be any problems.”

”Whether we’re present or not makes no difference at all.”

”Besides, all matters within the Valley are managed by the ’Gentlemen,’ no need to worry.”

The Black Bear Demon nodded, ”Indeed.”

The snake-faced demon cultivator looked around and spoke cunningly: ”Let’s stay here, ride out the storm, then find Third, and return to the Valley of Ten Thousand Demons after this blows over together.”

”Yes, Big Brother.”

...

On the surface, it seemed calm between Taixu Gate and Chongxu Sect, but secretly, each had gathered several elders and Inner Sect disciples for a secret rendezvous within Refining Demon Mountain.

They were subsequently led by Xun Ziyou in a covert operation to the secret forest outside the Valley of Ten Thousand Demons.

They saw the scarlet blood creek, the scattered white bones, and in the distance, the dimly visible, mysterious Valley of Ten Thousand Demons, all drawing a sharp intake of breath.

”This is... such dense Monster Qi!”

”There are places like this within Rafining Demon Mountain?!”

”In broad daylight at the Qianxue State Boundary... so many evil monsters hiding here, it’s really outrageous!”

Even the Chongxu Sect Elder, who knew beforehand, was shocked.

He had only heard about it from Xun Ziyou but hadn’t seen it himself, and seeing it now was even more impactful than expected.

It was like...

A seemingly spotless room, and under the floorboards, there was a colony of cockroaches nesting unknowingly...

Xun Ziyou glanced at the Chongxu Sect Elder and asked:

”Shangguan, how are your injuries?”

The Chongxu Sect Elder, named Xuan Jian and surnamed Shangguan, was a disciple of the Shangguan Family.

Although part of the direct lineage, he was somewhat distant from the head of the Shangguan Family and did not interact much on a daily basis.

Shangguan Xuan Jian said, ”The Ancestor gave me Pills, I feel much better after taking them, a bit of recovery will do, let’s not dwell on this... what do we do now?”

”We wait and see what happens.” Xun Ziyou replied.

Shangguan Xuan Jian frowned, ”Your Taixu Gate... did that Junior Formation master get in?”

”Yes.” Xun Ziyou nodded.

”Will he be safe?” Shangguan Xuan Jian was somewhat worried.

Xun Ziyou couldn’t say for sure.

Although Mo Hua was smart and resourceful, the Valley of Ten Thousand Demons was dense with demon cultivators, and any slip-up might mean he would be ”devoured” without a trace.

But now, rescuing them still relied on this child.

Xun Ziyou said, ”I sent a message to Elder Xun, but the Yuan Magnetic Flow within the Valley of Ten Thousand Demons is weak, he hasn’t responded, probably need to wait a bit.”

If there’s still no response after a while, they might have to attack forcefully.

Even...

Xun Ziyou touched the ”Void Sword Order” in the storage bag, which was for Heaven Void guidance and could shatter space, his gaze icy as he looked towards the distant Valley of Ten Thousand Demons.

...

Within the Valley of Ten Thousand Demons.

Mo Hua shook the Taixu Token in his hand, muttering to himself, ”Why is the signal in this Valley so bad?”

”Could it be interference from the Yuan Magnetics?”

He was currently lying on the ceiling of a stone chamber.

The stone chamber was very high, it was a prison, Ling Huxiao and Little Wood were imprisoned inside.

Oh right, and Song Jian...

Mo Hua didn’t dare to act recklessly, so he used the Taixu Token to contact Elder Xun, but the Yuan Magnetics were too weak, causing the message to be fragmented and unable to be sent out.

Mo Hua changed positions, angles, and directions, holding a Taixu Token in his hand, fussing for a long time before the ”signal” was slightly better.
