Immortality Through Array Formations

Chapter 2538: Chapter 33: Pursuit

The explosion of the Formation shook the entire Immortal City.

The city gate collapsed, and light shot up into the sky.

In Little Post City, the cultivators initially trapped by the tide of corpses in the dark night finally saw a glimmer of hope amidst the endless darkness. They scrambled frantically, like a tide, rushing toward the collapsed north city gate.

The cultivators who had been waiting hopelessly for death also began to raise their swords again, conjuring spells as they retreated towards the north gate while battling the corpse cultivators and Iron Corpses.

The corpse cultivators of the Yin Corpse Valley were enraged.

Especially Elder Fu, who no longer had the kindly appearance of a rich old man, but looked vicious, like a stingy slave master.

The ring was broken, the corpse slaves they reared had fled.

This was akin to gouging out his flesh.

Not to mention, he was also played for a fool by a cunning scheme in the Formation.

”Acting smart” by mobilizing manpower, only to have others exploit a huge loophole.

Truly a great humiliation!

”Who dares to ruin Yin Corpse Valley’s grand scheme? If I catch you, I’ll make you wish for death but be unable to die...”

Elder Fu spoke with a sinister tone.

Next to him, Young Master Shi’s heart skipped a beat, his pupils contracted, and he said:

”Could it be... that kid?”

Elder Fu looked at him.

Young Master Shi’s eyes were cold and sharp as he slowly said, ”It’s a youth with a handsome appearance, mysterious background, seemingly frail, but his movements are elusive and unpredictable.”

Elder Fu recalled the scene he had witnessed earlier in Hehuan Building and asked, ”Have you fought him?”

Young Master Shi nodded, his expression not looking too good, ”My gold-plated Copper Corpse, for some reason, couldn’t do anything to him.”

”Even when I used the Xuanyin Skill for corpse transformation, I couldn’t hold him down.”

”This youth has a bizarre movement technique, excels in concealment, and...” Young Master Shi frowned, ”He seems to be proficient in formations. During battle, using an unknown method, he silently set up a Second Grade formation, extremely powerful.”

”I didn’t think much of it at the time, but now that I recollect, the formation he set seemed to be a Second-Grade High-Level Gen Mountain Prison Formation...”

The more Elder Fu listened, the more alarmed he became, ”Is this youth... at Foundation Establishment?”

Young Master Shi’s expression was grave, and he nodded, ”He is at Foundation Establishment.”

Elder Fu’s face was clouded.

Foundation Establishment Realm, Second-Grade High-Level Array Master.

He could still rely on movement techniques and spells to hold his own against Young Master Shi.

Even the rare type Copper Corpse could not do anything to him.

What kind of person is this...?

A direct descendant of the Righteous Dao Heaven Void Ancestor, or a candidate Saint Heir of some Demon Sect?

Why would such a genius appear in this remote Little Post City?

Elder Fu felt a heavy heart, with many thoughts swirling in his mind.

Young Master Shi stepped forward and said, ”I’ll go capture him.”

Elder Fu said, ”Young Master, hold on.”

”There’s no time to lose...” Young Master Shi said coldly, ”I’ve fought him once, this youth is skilled in concealment, has decent movement skills, and some strange techniques, but his frontal assault is too weak. Aside from a Fireball of Evil Qi, he’s got nothing worth showing.”

”I’ve seen through his moves. If I act now, I will certainly capture him.”

Elder Fu’s eyes narrowed slightly, ”Young Master Shi, don’t forget your identity, and don’t forget why we came to Little Post City.”

Young Master Shi’s face darkened slightly.

Elder Fu slowly said, ”With the city gate destroyed and the formation broken, and the cultivators fleeing, our Yin Corpse Valley’s plot can no longer be hidden. The matter of refining a ’Corpse City’ will certainly face considerable obstruction.”

”The Daoist Court and the Righteous Dao forces are irreconcilable with us. Even some Demon Gates won’t sit idly by while we grow stronger.”

”At this critical moment, Young Master Shi should not act rashly, disregarding the overall situation.”

”Mend the pen after the sheep are lost; it’s not too late. Kill as many as you can, refine as many corpses as possible.”

”Continue to build Little Post Corpse City... that is the big picture.”

”Some things, even if not done perfectly, must at least be completed as best as possible.”

Elder Fu spoke earnestly.

Young Master Shi was taken aback, thought for a moment, felt touched, and nodded, ”Thank you for Elder Fu’s guidance...”

Then he frowned again, ”But that kid...”

Elder Fu’s face also turned cold, his tone chilling, ”This youth ruined Yin Corpse Valley’s grand plan, which has made him a great enemy.”

”Playing petty tricks, mocking us, makes him deserving of death.”

”Moreover, given his unusual background... I will have Elder Xu bring people to capture him. With the combined strength of several Golden Core Elders, he, a Foundation Establishment, will surely be unable to escape.”

Young Master Shi’s eyes showed a hint of greed, ”This youth is my prey.”

Elder Fu nodded, ”I will have Elder Xu try to capture him alive for you, Young Master.”

Hearing this, Young Master Shi no longer insisted, nodding, ”Alright.”

Elder Fu and Young Master Shi reached an agreement, their eyes cold as they began to issue orders using the Yin Corpse Token:

”All Golden Core Elders, return to reinforce the north gate.”

”Elite disciples, hear my command: immediately control the Walking Corpses and Iron Corpses to form a ’Corpse Wall’ to seal the breach at the north gate, preventing the cultivators from escaping...”

”All disciples of Yin Corpse Valley, there’s no need to hold back anymore, slaughter the cultivators of Little Post City completely...”

He then secretly sent a message to Elder Xu of Yin Corpse Valley:

”There’s been a change in situation, I ask Elder Xu to lead a few more Golden Core Elders to guard the north gate and search for a peculiar youth in the Foundation Establishment Realm...”

”This youth is highly skilled in the Concealment Technique and proficient in Second-Grade High-Level Formations. You must capture him alive, and if you can’t, make sure to retain his corpse...”

...

Elder Fu’s orders were disseminated.

The corpse cultivators of Yin Corpse Valley began their full-scale slaughter.

The cultivators of Little Post City also embarked on a life-and-death flight.

Using the time gained from Mo Hua’s diversion and the city gate opened by the formation, they saw a glimmer of hope for life.

But whether they could ultimately survive depended on their own fate.

Mo Hua could only help them this far.

Next, he too had to flee.

Yin Corpse Valley was not a pushover. Having mocked them and ruined their grand plan, they would certainly bear a grudge and pursue him, so he must leave as soon as possible.
