The Quest for Immortality

Gu Changhuai frowned.

Just then, Mo Hua suddenly spoke crisply, ”Are you sure you can still get out?”

Master Xiao was slightly stunned, ”What do you mean?”

Mo Hua pointed towards the door, ”Look.”

Master Xiao initially thought Mo Hua was trying to deceive him, so he naturally refused to turn around easily. But after a moment, seeing Mo Hua’s expression, he seemed earnest, and the place Mo Hua pointed did have a trace of unusual aura.

Master Xiao tightened his grip on his sword slightly and slowly turned sideways, using the corner of his eyes to look at the place Mo Hua pointed.

At that glance, his pupils contracted instantly.

The place Mo Hua pointed had a bronze statue of a monster beast guarding the door.

At this moment, standing on the bronze statue was a creature, its body wrapped in blood qi, entirely blood-stained, something unknown.

This creature looked scary, yet its aura seemed somewhat faint.

Just then, everyone was embroiled in a fight, unable to mind things around, completely unaware of when it appeared.

At this moment, the creature glanced at everyone and then bowed its head to bite, holding a fish bone token in its mouth and pulling it out.

As soon as the fish bone token was pulled, the heavy doors of the Dragon King Temple slowly closed.

Then the creature suddenly swallowed the token into its abdomen with lightning speed and swiftly turned into a flash of blood, leaping onto the beams on both sides.

Before everyone could react, it had disappeared.

Soon, the cultivators present realized what had happened, their hearts shuddering in alarm.

Master Xiao immediately looked at Water Yama, saying gravely, ”Is there another token?”

Water Yama shook his head fearfully, ”There’s only one...”

Master Xiao’s fake smile turned somewhat cold, and he swung a sword backward, sending a deep blue sword light striking the door.

Yet the doors of Dragon King Temple, made of some unknown material.

This Foundation Establishment Peak sword light hit it without causing a ripple.

It appears that without a fish bone token as a key, this door is fundamentally impenetrable by force.

Mo Hua sighed, ”I forgot to tell you, some strange things happened in this temple. Now the situation is not about whether the Taoist Court catches you, whether you have a mandate, or whether you can take the Cloud Ferry to fly away...”

”The real problem now is that we might not even be able to get out of the Dragon King Temple’s doors. If we don’t find a way to save ourselves, we’ll be trapped to death inside for a lifetime.”

”Oh, maybe not even a lifetime...”

Mo Hua lamented again, ”Just now that creature is man-eating, perhaps soon we’ll end up in its stomach.”

Master Xiao’s face turned grim, his fake smile almost unmaintainable.

He calculated everything, never anticipating that such bizarre changes would suddenly occur in this Dragon King Temple...

Otherwise, with a mandate in hand, leaving Qian State, he could reach new heights with different prospects.

The air in the room became heavy and silent.

Everyone fell into silent contemplation.

Mo Hua looked around, observing everyone for a while, then said:

”So now everyone understands the situation, the urgent task is to catch that elusive creature to see if we can snatch the token back.”

”As for other grievances, they can only wait to be settled after we manage to get out.”

”Otherwise, everyone will only be left here in Dragon King Temple to die.”

”Don’t blame me for not warning you, that creature might not be the only one, and this Dragon King Temple might contain even more terrifying monsters.”

”If we don’t band together now, we’re all doomed.”

Mo Hua said solemnly.

Master Xiao also looked around, his eyes narrowed, but the smile on his face had vanished. He nodded, saying:

”Fine, I won’t make a move.”

”Anyway, my plan was just to seek a way to survive, to escape and not aim for a showdown to the death.”

”Now that there are threats everywhere in the temple, I can agree to a ceasefire.”

Gu Changhuai and Xia Canonical Official exchanged a glance and nodded, ”Getting out is urgent; other matters can be set aside for now.”

All three Golden Cores agreed, leaving the others no room to dissent.

They weren’t fools, able to discern priorities.

Any rancor, in the face of life and death, can be temporarily cast aside.

Thus, a strange ”team” was temporarily formed.

Mo Hua was satisfied at heart, nodding and said:

”Alright, let’s go find that creature now!”

Thus, Mo Hua led at the front, with this ragtag team, diverse in composition, purpose, mindset, and even differing in allies, started hunting monsters in the eerie Dragon King Temple...
