Immortality Through Array Formations

Chapter 2284: Chapter 1054: The Great Battle

Although they had worked together for a long time and developed a tacit understanding, Gu Changhuai had a strong premonition that the person who sent this message was definitely Mo Hua. But, given the gravity of the situation, he needed to verify it carefully.

”Are you... Mo Hua?”

Just as these words appeared in ink patterns, Gu Changhuai erased them.

Asking like this was too straightforward.

If the person was not Mo Hua, it could alert the Evil Demon.

If it really was Mo Hua, it could easily reveal his whereabouts and put Mo Hua in a disadvantageous position.

Gu Changhuai pondered briefly and asked through the letter token:

”Did you kill the Fire Buddha?”

In the Blood Sacrifice Hall, after Mo Hua ”sent” messages to all, he waited for a long time and suddenly received this information. His eyes immediately lit up, and he replied:

”Yes!”

”Fireball! Through the chest!”

The Fire Buddha was caught off guard by a flaw and was killed by having his chest blasted through with the Meteor Fire Forbidden Art.

Apart from him and Uncle Gu, no one knew what these words meant.

When Gu Changhuai saw these words, he was instantly delighted, feeling as if a huge stone was lifted from his chest, and his breath became much smoother.

Fortunately, Mo Hua was not dead...

The fact that he could still communicate indicated that things were not yet dire.

Gu Changhuai had basically determined that it was Mo Hua, though he did not know how, communicating with him.

But Mo Hua was not completely sure if the person on the other side was really his Uncle Gu.

After some thought, he felt it was necessary to verify as well, so he counter-asked:

”Who was your last matchmaking partner?”

Gu Changhuai, who was just relieved, instantly had a stiff expression.

Beside him, the bright eyes of Xia Canonical Official turned towards Gu Changhuai.

Gu Changhuai had no choice but to reply with a stern face and one word:

”Hua.”

Mo Hua nodded.

Confirmed, it was Uncle Gu.

With the ”code” matched, Mo Hua did not ramble and conveyed through the letter token:

”I am inside Yanluo Mountain, with most disciples from the Four Sects and Eight Gates and the Twelve Streams.”

”Yanluo Mountain is where the Desolate Heaven Blood Sacrifice Formation is located, with countless demon monsters raised in the valley, the stone bridge is hanging isolated and hard to cross, we cannot get out...”

Mo Hua succinctly explained the broad situation.

Gu Changhuai also said, ”Outside the Large Formation, the evil qi is pervasive, blood swamps are everywhere, blood flows into the mountain soaking the mountain stones like monster beast flesh, we can’t find an entrance, can’t get in.”

Mo Hua said, ”No problem, I’ll give you a map.”

Then, without hesitation, Mo Hua began to transform the magnetic patterns into ink patterns, conveying the general formation structure of Yanluo Mountain and the mountain terrain together to Gu Changhuai.

The amount of original magnet that a letter token can transmit at one time is limited, so Mo Hua could only send a little at a time.

After Gu Changhuai received it, he pieced it together by himself, eventually forming a complete, grand and complex formation diagram of Yanluo Mountain.

Gu Changhuai looked at it, feeling astonished.

Even the other Supervisors found it somewhat unbelievable.

They did not expect that, after exhausting all thoughts and fighting demon cultivators for hundreds of rounds over several days, unable to find an entrance to this demon path mountain pass, the entire formation method map of the mountain could be obtained in merely the time it took to send a message?

This map was too confidential, yet acquired too easily, leading them to feel a sense of unreality.

Many of the Supervisors present were hurriedly transferred from other fifth-grade territories in Qian State or even from the Central Dao Court to deal with the disaster of the Evil Path Great Formation, unfamiliar with the situation of the Qianxue state boundary, most harboring a skeptical attitude.

”Can this map really be trusted?”

”Is it a trap by the Demon Path? Are they trying to lure us deep and take us all at once?”

”Shouldn’t we deliberate on this matter?”

”This is too important to act hastily...”

Everyone hesitated.

But Gu Changhuai said, ”There’s no need, just follow this Formation Diagram, and if there is any slip-up, I will take full responsibility.”

A Supervisor said indifferently, ”Supervisor Gu, you alone might not be able to take that responsibility...”

Gu Changhuai frowned.

Xia Canonical Official’s gaze darkened, ”Then I’ll join in, this map was obtained by Supervisor Gu, I’ll vouch for it with him. If anything goes wrong, we’ll take responsibility.”

Seeing this, the other Supervisors had a glint in their eyes and nodded one after another:

”Okay.”

They weren’t necessarily doubting the authenticity of this formation diagram.

Right now, the evil qi was overwhelming, the situation extremely severe, and they had to race against time to rescue the gifted individuals from Qianxue.

This formation diagram was the only clue; whether it’s true or false, they had to follow it to arrange the attack plan.

Even if it really was a trap by the Demon Path, they had to break through.

They had no other choice.

But while the words are as such, and the actions can be taken, someone must bear the responsibility.

Gu Changhuai being from the Gu Family meant that the Gu Family alone held insufficient weight to bear this responsibility.

But Xia Canonical Official was different, as she had the Xia family from Taoist State at her back.

The Xia family was a powerful dragon, while the Gu family was a local snake. With one being a strong dragon and the other a local snake taking on this issue together, it naturally provided the most solid assurance.

Should there be any issue with this formation diagram, Xia Canonical Official and Gu Canonical Official, along with the aristocratic families behind them, would bear the responsibility.

This was the risk.

Of course, if there were no issues with this formation diagram and they managed to rescue everyone, the biggest credit for this battle would naturally go to Xia Canonical Official and Gu Canonical Official.

All the Supervisors present were clear about this, and they felt balanced.

Things in this world are just like that. To seek benefit, one naturally has to take risks.

If one can bear the risk, one will naturally reap the benefits.

And these Supervisors, all being external transfers, were not originally part of the Taoist Court system of the Qianxue state boundary.

Should anything happen, having someone to take the blame; if it succeeds, to get a share of the credit, would be enough for them.

Gu Changhuai looked somewhat surprised at Xia Canonical Official.

Xia Canonical Official raised her eyes, and they exchanged a glance. Neither said anything, but both understood each other.
