The Quest for Immortality

Chapter 1130 -690 Crisis

Chapter 1130 -690 Crisis

But there was one thing that particularly concerned Mo Hua.

According to an old fisherman from the village, there once was a cultivator with long eyebrows and a sword on his back, who entered the blood mist alone and returned safely, leaving behind advice about the blood mist and the Blood Fish.

Who was this cultivator?

Mo Hua furrowed his brows in thought.

”He was able to see through the blood mist, indicating a strong Divine Sense. To return unscathed from a small fishing village shrouded in the Evil God’s breath, he must possess either the spell point of Divine Thought Slaughter or Divine Thought Guardianship.”

Carrying a sword…

Could it be a Sword Cultivator proficient in “Divine Thought into Sword”?

Divine Thought into Sword…

Could it be one of my seniors from Taixu Gate?

Mo Hua mumbled to himself.

Then, through the well bottom, enter the disappeared fishing village, and make sure to look for any traces left by this senior.

Since this senior entered the Evil God’s territory, he must have been attacked by the minions of the Evil God, and it’s even possible that he had confronted the Evil God face to face.

Since that is the case, he must have left some trace of Divine Thought Slaughter.

It’s just unknown whether these traces have dissipated after hundreds of years…

”Let’s go in and have a look

Since the decision to go down the well has been made, preparations must be in order.

Mo Hua began to analyze the dangers within the blood-colored well one by one…

As for the Formation at the wellhead, he had already mastered it, so there was no issue entering.

Before, he had used Little Tiger to scout a small stretch of the path.

He knew the well was dry, with a passage leading forward, but he didn’t know how long it would take before there would be water ahead.

There were traps hidden in the water; Little Tiger was crushed to dust.

It could be some mechanism, but the most likely reason was a Monster Beast living in the water.

This Monster Beast was probably the guardian at the door.

What lay beyond was still unclear to Mo Hua.

But it was very possible that it was the same fishing village that had completely disappeared after being corrupted by the Evil God.

Hundreds of years ago, what exactly happened in this fishing village before they completely vanished after sacrificing to the Evil God?

What is there in the fishing village now?

The River God who accepted the sacrifice, was it originally an Evil God, or was it a deity who had been corrupted and completely fallen due to the Great Wilderness Evil God?

And the Crossing River Dragon…

Could it have helpers lurking inside the fishing village?

Mo Hua sighed, feeling that the situation was quite troublesome.

Such a task, he couldn’t manage alone; he definitely needed helpers.

Mo Hua thought for a moment and sent a message to Gu Changhuai:

”Uncle Gu, I’ve found the entrance to the kidnappers’ ‘stronghold

Gu Changhuai: “Wait a moment, I’ll come over right now.”

Mo Hua quickly replied: “No need.”

The opposite side was the Evil God; if Uncle Gu came, it would be extremely dangerous.

The fishing village was located at the Second Grade state boundary; if Uncle Gu became corrupted by the Evil God, went mad, inadvertently used Golden Core Power, violated the taboo, and was eradicated by heavenly retribution, that would be the end of him.

Even if he wasn’t eradicated by the Heavenly Dao, if he turned to kill Mo Hua himself, that would be enough trouble for Mo Hua.

Mo Hua felt this was a highly probable event, and then said:

”Uncle Gu, please don’t come!”

Otherwise, I can’t guarantee your safety.

Gu Changhuai frowned, “Are you hiding something from me?”

There are things I’m hiding from you, but even if I told you, you wouldn’t believe me…

Mo Hua mumbled to himself, then replied: “No.”

Gu Changhuai hesitated for a moment, then said:

”Then I’ll send Gu An and Gu Quan over, both are at the Foundation Establishment Late Stage, their strengths are decent, and they’re from the Gu Family, I can rest assured.”

”In addition, you use the Gu Family secret order to call for more people, just in case.”

”Second Grade state boundary, these people should be enough, if anything unexpected happens, let me know, and I’ll figure something else out

…

Mo Hua nodded.

Uncle Gu was still reliable.

”Mm-hm,” Mo Hua replied.

Going down the well and investigating, having Gu An and Gu Quan with him was perfect.

Having other Gu Family members outside ready for backup gave Mo Hua some peace of mind.

But this still wasn’t quite enough…

Mo Hua then said: “Uncle Gu, do you have any Spiritual Artifacts that calm the mind or Treasures that reassure the heart?”

Gu Changhuai frowned, “What do you need these for?”

Mo Hua made up an excuse:

”I’m worried that the Crossing River Dragon, like Fire Buddha, practices Demon Path’s Evil Qi, which might intimidate Divine Sense and shake one’s heart, so I’m preparing in advance, better safe than sorry.”

Gu Changhuai was taken aback, feeling that it made sense.

Mo Hua, this child, is prudent and thoughtful…

”There should be similar Spiritual Artifacts in the Gu Family’s storeroom, I’ll let Gu An and Gu Quan take a few in my name, and bring them to you

Gu Changhuai declared straightforwardly.

”Thank you, Uncle Gu.”

Mo Hua quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

Whether or not these mind-calming Spiritual Artifacts would work against the Evil God, Mo Hua was unsure, but it was always worth trying.

”There’s one more thing Mo Hua said, “Uncle Gu, can you help me ask for a couple more days off?”

Gu Changhuai was silent.

Mo Hua said: “The Crossing River Dragon is hiding deep, I’m afraid I won’t be able to catch them in just one day.”

Gu Changhuai sighed, “Alright, I’ll ask for leave on behalf of the Taoist Court, and on behalf of Taixu Gate as well

”But whether Taixu Gate agrees, I can’t guarantee.”

”Last time I asked for leave on your behalf, Taixu Gate’s Elder was not too pleased; asking again this time, they are probably even less happy

Mo Hua also sighed.

But there was no helping it.

The well needs to be investigated, leave must be requested.

Hopefully, Elder Master Xun could cover for him; Mo Hua would later go to Elder Master Xun to apologize.

”Please try.”

”Mm.”

Afterwards, the two acted separately.

Mo Hua used the Gu Family’s secret order to call people from the nearby Taoist Court.

While Gu Changhuai arranged for Gu An and Gu Quan to go and support Mo Hua, drafting a letter from the Taoist Court, sealed with his Supervisor’s seal, and sent it through the Taoist Court’s channels to Taixu Gate.
