Immortality Through Array Formations

Chapter 2287 Chapter 1054: The Great Battle (Part 4)

”Alright.”

With that, the Court Officials of the Taoist Court, along with Mo Hua and other sect prodigies, left the Formation Core Hall and started making their way out of Yanluo Mountain.

The path was filled with blood, and the corpses of demon cultivators lay scattered.

Upon reaching the valley, the shouts and cries of battle continued unabated, with the stench of rot and blood filling the air.

Mo Hua took a look, and his expression changed.

Above the Demon Valley, the stone bridge had already been destroyed. On the mountain wall beside it, the Taoist Court had embedded hooks into the rock and pulled out a makeshift suspension cable, resembling a hanging bridge, clinged to the cliff, connecting the two ends of the valley.

The cultivators of the Taoist Court were using this ”suspension cable” to cross the valley.

But this action had obviously angered the demonic monsters at the bottom of the valley.

An unending number of deformed flesh and blood demon monsters surged up like a tide from the valley floor, attacking the cultivators from the Taoist Court.

Some Golden Core Court Officials continuously chanted spells, wielded swordsmanship, or activated magic treasures to slaughter these demon monsters and protect the suspension cable.

The scene was both bloody and spectacular.

”Hurry, follow the suspension cable to get out...” Gu Changhuai said with a grave expression.

The demonic monsters at the bottom of the valley were far too numerous; even though they were at the Golden Core stage, they couldnʼt possibly kill them all.

Therefore, they could only temporarily suppress these demon monsters, protect the suspension cable as much as possible, and allow everyone to leave swiftly.

Otherwise, if they truly got trapped here, the consequences would be unimaginable.

The situation was urgent, and everyone understood the gravity of it, so nobody lingered. They all moved in an orderly fashion according to Gu Changhuaiʼs instructions, stepping onto the suspension cable, activating their movement technique, and swiftly retreated from the valley.

Mo Hua brought up the rear, walking at the end.

The evil qi within the large formation could easily contaminate oneʼs sea of consciousness, so the other disciples needed to evacuate quickly; the faster, the better, as delays could bring about changes.

But the evil qi didnʼt affect Mo Hua, so he didnʼt mind.

The Taoist Courtʼs Golden Core practitioners were still continually subduing the flesh and blood demon monsters at the valleyʼs bottom.

Disciples from various sects were also stepping onto the suspension cable, leaving Yanluo Mountain one after another.

Mo Hua also breathed a sigh of relief.

Regardless of anything, the objective was achieved: the people were rescued, the junior brothers were safe, and he was also preparing to leave. Although the Desolate Heaven Blood Sacrifice Formation had many secrets he had yet to understand, at this moment he couldnʼt worry about those.

Just as Mo Hua was about to leave, he caught sight of Gu Changhuaiʼs suppressed expression from the corner of his eye, as if he had something else on his mind.

Mo Hua paused, asking, ”Uncle Gu, is there something else?”

Gu Changhuai appeared somewhat taken aback, hesitating to speak, but finally shook his head, ”Nothing.”

Mo Hua frowned.

With his understanding of Uncle Gu, there was definitely something going on. But Uncle Gu wouldnʼt say...

Mo Huaʼs gaze tightened slightly. Looking up at the sky, he pinched his fingertips, making a quick calculation. His face changed immediately, and he turned to ask Gu Changhuai:

”Uncle Gu, where is Yu Er?”

Gu Changhuaiʼs expression was one of shock as he looked at Mo Hua incredulously.

Mo Hua pressed further, ”Did something happen?”

Gu Changhuaiʼs face turned bitter, ”Yu Er... was taken away...”

Mo Huaʼs gaze turned icy, ”By whom?”

”Shangguan Wang...”

The Feather Transformation Realm powerful elder of the Shangguan Family...

Mo Huaʼs brow twitched. After a moment of contemplation, he nodded slightly,

”I understand.”

Gu Changhuai sighed, ”Letʼs get out first. We have no idea where Yu Er was taken, and we canʼt find them. Shangguan Wang is also missing. This matter...

requires careful planning”

”Alright.”

Mo Hua nodded and followed Gu Changhuai towards the exit, but after taking a

few steps, he suddenly stopped and slowly said:

”Uncle Gu, you should go back first. Iʼll stay behind.”

Gu Changhuaiʼs eyes widened. He turned, frowning, ”What are you going to

do?”

Mo Hua shook his head, ”Time is of the essence, no time to explain. Itʼs just... once we leave, weʼll never be able to rescue Yu Er again.”

Gu Changhuaiʼs frown deepened.

He didnʼt understand the reasoning behind this, but he trusted Mo Hua, so he resolutely said, ”I will stay too”

Mo Hua still shook his head, ”If I stay, I wonʼt die. If you stay, youʼre certain to

die. Besides me, anyone who stays wonʼt survive...”

Gu Changhuaiʼs heart trembled, ”Mo Hua, you...”

”Uncle Gu, you must go now, or itʼll be too late,” Mo Hua said.

Gu Changhuai hesitated, but on the other side, someone was already shouting, ”Supervisor Gu, hurry! The demon monsters are increasing, and the suspension cable wonʼt hold much longer.”

Gu Changhuai looked at Mo Hua, his expression full of pain.

Mo Hua smiled and touched the Tai Xu Yin Yang Lock on his neck, ”This was

given to me by the patriarch, it can protect me. Rest assured, Uncle Gu.”

Gu Changhuai still couldnʼt rest easy.

Mo Hua added, ”Then do me this favor. Once youʼre out, tell everyone to kill any Evil Formation Masters they encounter. The more of them die, the safer Iʼll

be”

Gu Changhuai was silent for a moment, then nodded, but his lips were tightly pressed, and his expression was painful, as if he didnʼt want to leave Mo Hua

alone.

”Go,” Mo Hua said.

Gu Changhuai was tormented inside but finally took a deep breath and told Mo Hua, ”Iʼll try to kill all the Evil Formation Masters. You... take care of yourself.”

”Alright.”

Only then did Gu Changhuai grit his teeth, decisively turning back to step onto the suspension cable, his silhouette desolate yet determined as he left Yanluo

Mountain.

And with his departure, the Golden Core cultivators from the Taoist Court could no longer suppress the demonic tide.

Countless flesh and blood demon monsters crawled up along the cliff, killing

the people from the Taoist Court.

The suspension cable suspended in mid-air was also gnawed by the demon monsters, breaking inch by inch and plunging into the dark abyss.

The only path to life was completely severed.

Gu Changhuai, at the mouth of the valley, looked back, only able to see at the

other end of the distant valley, amidst darkness and blood, that faintly familiar but slender figure.

Soon, this figure was swallowed by the endless flesh and blood demon monsters, disappearing completely...
