The Quest for Immortality

With the help of the Spirit Vision Formation, the movement of nearby monster cultivators can be monitored.

The Original Magnet View is certainly not as clear as the pivot of the Secret Chamber, but it’s sufficient.

Mo Hua concealed himself, with eyes watching in all directions and a spiritual sense covering eight areas, while simultaneously using the Spirit Vision Formation to guide Ling Huxiao and others.

He chose paths with fewer monster cultivators.

Along the way, they occasionally encountered large waves of demon tide, and sometimes some solitary monster cultivators.

In large waves of demon tide, the three blended in.

Solitary monster cultivators were simply ignored.

Occasionally, some isolated monster cultivators, being extremely vigilant, sensed something unusual about Ling Huxiao and others and raised a voice to question.

In such cases, Mo Hua decisively ordered them to strike ruthlessly.

Ouyang Mu’s cultivation was ordinary, but he had some grounding in swordsmanship.

Although Song Jian looked like a dandy, his Sever Gold Sword Jue was not poorly learned.

As for Ling Huxiao, being a Sword Dao genius of the Rushing Void Sect, required no further explanation.

Also, Mo Hua controlled the situation with some small spells from behind.

Even though the scattered monster cultivators they met along the way were not weak, they were fundamentally not opponents for the combined assault of the group.

Like this, dodging and killing, the group was gradually leaving the Ten Thousand Demons Prison and moving towards the gate of the Valley of Ten Thousand Demons...

...

Deep within the Valley of Ten Thousand Demons.

In a lavish and elegant study room.

The young noble sat gracefully like jade, occupying the upper seat.

Jin Yixuan stood below with his head bowed, hands clasped, saying:

”Everything has been done according to the young lord’s plans; what needed to be destroyed has been destroyed, those who needed to die are dead, and the traces of artifact refining, alchemy, especially formations, will all be erased...”

”Mm.”

The young noble nodded softly, then remained silent, with his fair fingers tapping the edge of the table, pondering something unknown.

Jin Yixuan respectfully asked, ”Young lord, is there something amiss?”

The young noble pondered for a moment, then slowly spoke:

”Why... were they discovered?”

Jin Yixuan’s heart trembled.

The young lord continued, ”How did they know about the existence of the Valley of Ten Thousand Demons? Why are they ambushed outside the valley?”

”Why not directly attack but wait outside?”

”What are they waiting for?”

Jin Yixuan’s expression changed, his mind racing, ”The young lord means, these people are guarding outside, waiting for a chance, and this chance is inside the valley...”

The young lord neither confirmed nor denied.

Jin Yixuan thought for a moment, startled, ”Reporting to the young lord, lately there indeed have been some abnormalities in the valley...”

The young noble looked at him indifferently.

Jin Yixuan felt cold inside, afraid of the young lord’s blame, lowered his head even further, yet had no choice but to speak with courage:

”A steward died, you know of this event.”

”Additionally, sometimes monster cultivators die suddenly.”

”Also, monster cultivators sometimes feel they are being watched by something unseen...”

”I suspected earlier that there might be demon wraiths escaping from the Demon Refining Diagram, causing chaos in the valley...”

Jin Yixuan spoke softly.

The young noble coldly said: ”Demon wraiths are confined in the Demon Refining Diagram, controlled by formations, isolated from the outside cannot escape or cause havoc.”

His lips curled into a cold smile, ”An ’old mouse’ has sneaked into the Valley of Ten Thousand Demons.”

”The sect’s eagles are gathered outside the valley, waiting for this mouse to eavesdrop on intelligence, probe the reality...”

Jin Yixuan’s face paled, hurriedly admitting fault:

”It’s my negligence!”

The young lord gazed at Jin Yixuan calmly, ”I’ve told you to stop saying such nonsense. What good is admitting fault or blaming negligence? It doesn’t help at all...”

”If I truly wanted to kill you, you’d be dead already, no need to make a show and beg for pity.”

Jin Yixuan’s forehead beaded with sweat, immediately replied:

”I will definitely make amends for my mistakes!”

The young noble nodded slightly, thoughtfully, his eyes flashing:

”This mouse surely wants to rescue someone.”

”Perhaps, has already begun rescuing...”

Jin Yixuan was startled, promptly declared sternly: ”I will go immediately, capture those three brats, find the mouse, and kill him!”

”No,” the young lord shook his head, ”That mouse must be caught and brought back; I want to see him personally...”

His gaze was icy, yet intrigued.

”Understood!”

Jin Yixuan solemnly bowed, retreated respectfully; once out of the study, his expression instantly turned ferocious, cursing in a low voice:

”What wretch dares to put me in trouble? Makes me a laughingstock in front of the young lord; truly seeking death!”

”The young lord says not to kill, I will spare your life, let you live neither in peace nor death!”

He immediately summoned several stewards, declaring sternly:

”Follow me to the Ten Thousand Demons Prison!”

”Yes.”

The stewards, seeing his fierce demeanor, dared not ask detailed questions and could only respond unanimously.

Afterward, Jin Yixuan hurriedly used a movement technique, rushing towards the Ten Thousand Demons Prison like a burning leopard.

The group of stewards hurriedly followed suit.

Upon arrival at the Ten Thousand Demons Prison, entering the jail, Jin Yixuan found the cells empty.

Those three indeed had escaped!

And the few guard monster cultivators outside were nowhere to be found.

After careful examination, it was discovered that these guard monster cultivators had been stripped and fed to the nearby monster beasts.

In front of the cages of nearby monster beasts, there were still some uneaten remains of monster cultivator bones and flesh.

Jin Yixuan furiously ordered, ”Chase in different directions!”

”Yes!”

Several stewards followed the routes of the Ten Thousand Demons Prison and went in separate directions.

Jin Yixuan also chose a direction and continued the chase, but after a while, he suddenly stood still, turning to look at the wall beside him.

On the wall, some new and old stones were mixed, with a faint trace of spiritual power present, sensed only by a Formation Master.

Jin Yixuan stepped forward and wiped it with his palm, seeing the sealed formations beneath the stone wall, his pupils shrunk suddenly.

The Original Magnet Spiritual Pivot Formation!

Activated by someone!

No wonder Jin Gui said in the Ten Thousand Demons Prison, he felt he was being ”watched.”

Indeed, there was an invisible ”eye” secretly watching him.

No, possibly not just one.

Jin Yixuan’s face grew somber, and he immediately searched the vicinity, finding several adjacent Spiritual Pivot Formations all activated.

These Spirit Vision Formations, like cold and eerie ”eyes,” watching every move within the Ten Thousand Demons Prison.

And how many such ”eyes” were still hidden in the corners of the Ten Thousand Demons Prison remains unknown.

Jin Yixuan felt a chilling sensation.
