The Quest for Immortality

He just explained it away.

Mo Hua: ”Makes sense...”

Elder You’s eyes narrowed, and he nodded, ”I will look into this matter, thank you, Mr. Yuan.”

Mo Hua replied: ”Just fulfilling a duty, Elder You, you are too kind.”

After that, the two had nothing more to say.

In an unknown, bloody stone chamber.

Elder You put away the Elder’s Token used for sending transmissions, drank a glass of Blood Wine, and began to ponder the clues given by Mo Hua.

After a moment of consideration, a thought suddenly came to him:

”Could this Mr. Yuan be deceiving me?”

Elder You deliberated for a bit, unable to stop himself from questioning, ”What exactly did Mr. Yuan deceive me about?”

There is definitely a traitor in the Demon Sect.

The traitor knowing formations also seems reasonable.

From the beginning to the end, this Mr. Yuan didn’t seem too interested in the internal affairs of the Demon Sect. .

He was employed by me to work for the Demon Sect.

Everything he said was based on the Thunder Magnetism Formation, never concealing anything, but also never elaborating.

Moreover, the information he provided did indeed repeatedly help the Sect out of crises, breaking the encirclement of the Taoist Court.

Elder You reviewed it again, nodded slightly, and dismissed his concerns.

”Since the information is credible, it can be followed to investigate...”

”Formation...”

”Among the Demon Sect Elders, who secretly learned formations? Who has the ability with formations but keeps it hidden, doing unspeakable deeds...”

Elder You’s gaze was piercing, calculating one by one.

”First of all, Big Brother cannot be the traitor.”

”Second Brother, the most experienced, he has no reason to betray the Sect. After all, this Sect was put together temporarily for the grand plan, to nurture blood slaves, and formed a prototype of the Demon Gate, to be discarded once used. Why would Second Brother betray...” ȑα𐌽ỖＢË𝙎

”I am Lao San, I’m definitely fine...”

”Lao Si, an executioner, bloodthirsty, used to hunt down traitors. Usually kept locked up with chains, not allowed outside. In his mind, apart from ’kill’, there’s nothing else. To make him remember formation patterns is really difficult for him.”

”Lao Wu and Lao Liu just came out of that valley, still avoiding the limelight, they are not without suspicion...”

”Lao Qi, lustful, is already dead.”

”Lao Ba, thoughtful, loyal, the plans of the Demon Sect generally pass through him, and he has worked hard for years, without merit, but with effort...”

”Lao Jiu, greedy eater, not very scheming...”

”Lao Shi, dead.”

”Eleven, dead.”

”Shier, dead...”

...

Elder You went over it in his mind, unable to figure out who secretly learned formation techniques.

The brothers are all killers, drinking blood, each more fearsome than the other.

But when it comes to learning formations... who has the brains for it?

But Mr. Yuan’s words can’t be wrong, the signs of the Thunder Magnetism can’t be wrong either.

”Investigate, just investigate, someone will definitely slip up...”

Elder You’s expression was cold.

As for how the Demon Sect investigated afterward, Mo Hua did not know.

A few days later, Elder You sent a transmission to Mo Hua:

”Mr. Yuan, I have found some clues, currently Lao Wu, Lao Liu, Lao Ba, and Lao Jiu are all suspects...”

Mo Hua said indifferently: ”Oh.”

Elder You: ”I would like to ask you, sir, to deliberate on this for me.”

Mo Hua was slightly shocked at heart, such a ”life or death question,” of course, he wouldn’t answer, he only said: ”I am just a Formation Master.”

Elder You quickly explained: ”Mr. Yuan, you misunderstand, I wasn’t testing you, but rather hoping you might have insights, who among them seems most like a Formation Master.”

Mo Hua pondered for a moment and then said: ”Alright...”

Elder You said: ”Among these individuals, Lao Jiu is gluttonous, often locking himself in his room, doing who knows what, and after coming out, he has a big meal, otherwise, he would be overly exhausted...”

”Lao Ba is the most thoughtful, always responsible for the plans of the Demon Sect, and he acts very cautiously.”

”Lao Wu and Lao Liu, they recently escaped from... that place...”

”That place?”

”This location is secret and not suitable to be disclosed.”

Mo Hua frowned slightly but didn’t ask more, only replying with an ”Mmm.”

Elder You said: ”After they escaped, according to custom, they joined our Demon Sect, temporarily taking shelter, so there’s also a possibility that they are not on our side.”

”Lao Wu is short and skinny, not tall, Lao Liu is tall, with deep eyes, as calm as a mountain...”

...

Elder You explained the situation of these individuals to Mo Hua one by one, and then asked: ”Mr. Yuan, who do you think among them is most likely the Formation Master?”

Mo Hua was momentarily conflicted.

Because he thought that all four of them surprisingly had ”Formation Master” traits.

One is gluttonous, one is scheming, one is short in stature, one has deep eyes...

This made it a bit difficult for him to decide.

Mo Hua casually picked one, ”Lao Ba, deep-minded, thoughtful, seems like it.”

Elder You shook his head, ”Lao Ba has been in the sect for many years, working hard for the Sect, wholeheartedly, without any disloyalty.”

”Then Lao Jiu? Formation Masters deplete Divine Sense tremendously, sometimes requiring them to eat more.”

”Lao Jiu is broad and plump, may not have the scheming mind, and may not be willing to put in the hard work to learn formations.”

”What about Lao Wu? Not tall, so his Sea of Consciousness would be more condensed...”

”Is there such a saying?”

”There should be...”

”But he doesn’t seem like it either.”

”Then it’s Lao Liu.”

”Lao Liu, he has Monster Qi, Monster cultivators generally can’t learn formations...”

...

And so, Mo Hua, the ”traitor,” earnestly discussed with the Demon Sect’s elder, who the Demon Sect’s real traitor was.

But after guessing and guessing, everything was vetoed by Elder You.

Mo Hua then had no other choice.

Because he was making things up to begin with, among these people, it’s possible none of them are Formation Masters.
