The Quest for Immortality

The Gui Water Sect launched an attack on the Lingxiao Sect. When they were close, they took advantage of their unpreparedness, using the sinister Gui Water Sword Skill, and took away several ”lives” of the Lingxiao Sect.

Such despicable actions enraged the Lingxiao Sect.

The two sides engaged in a fierce battle.

Seeing the unfavorable situation, the Gui Water Sect also retreated.

Afterwards, the Sever Gold Sect and the Gui Water Sect, in succession, also struck against the other Eight Great Gates with treacherous hands.

Many sects suffered significant losses.

The fragile balance was shattered, and this dispute was like a spark, igniting the flames of the Shura war.

People couldn’t help but curse:

”Damn it, Sever Gold Sect, you have no martial ethics.”

”Gui Water Sect, you are treacherous!”

But compelled by the situation, they also had to start using underhanded tactics against the surrounding sects.

Everyone else is killing; if you don’t kill, you will definitely fall behind.

This is the Sword Discussion Conference, falling behind means your sect is falling behind.

If the sect falls behind, it affects the future and development of thousands of fellow cultivators.

The situation started to unravel.

There were constant sneak attacks, and people lost their lives.

Cultivators with foresight began to feel anxious.

If Mo Hua is not killed, allowing him to ”linger” or delay, and preparing himself, the consequences would be truly unimaginable.

But once the flames of war began, they spread quickly.

Everyone was busy scheming and fighting, trying to secure some benefits for their sects.

No one cared about the so-called ”big picture.”

These disciples with ”true insight” could only watch in distress, cursing:

”The young can’t be plotted with!”

”Short-sighted, falling into Mo Hua’s cunning trap...”

Despite this, the chaotic battle showed no signs of stopping.

Thus, under the premise of Mo Hua not showing up, the Shura war completed its second cleansing.

The majority of the Twelve Streams sects were out.

On the surface, the Twelve Streams sects held equal status with the Eight Great Gates.

But the Twelve Streams are more ”specialized” Tao Cultivation sects, which means their comprehensive combat strength is lacking.

Therefore, in the Sword Discussion Conference, a battlefield of true combat, the Twelve Streams are not at an advantage.

Their real battlefield is actually in the Dao competitions following the Sword Discussion, such as discussions on Pill, Artifact, Talisman, and Formation.

The camp of the Eight Great Gates was further streamlined.

Many who couldn’t have strength died in mutual schemes and conflicts.

Even among the Four Great Sects, a few disciples began to be killed and withdrawn.

Those who remain now either have profound cultivation, are cautious, or possess extraordinary methods, all relatively ”core” disciples of each sect.

These people, without significant effort, no one could kill anyone.

Moreover, with some ”traitors” fanning the flames of schemes, the Four Sects and Eight Gates were on guard against each other, creating a tense atmosphere.

Everyone was reluctant to act rashly.

The situation was turbulent beneath the surface, but the apparent disputes instead calmed down.

As time passed, the mist in the Shura field gradually faded, revealing the mountains and rivers, making the terrain clearer.

Suddently, a flare streaked across the sky.

This was the agreed signal.

Everyone’s heart trembled.

”Found it!”

”The Mo Hua scoundrel!”

Disciples of the Four Sects and Eight Gates glanced at each other, despite having been fighting fiercely moments before, now as if nothing had happened, shouted:

”Mo Hua must die!”

The oath of the Demon Slaying Alliance was also passed down word of mouth among people:

”Eliminate Mo and uphold the Dao, Mo Hua must die!”

The hatred for Mo Hua once again ”united” the originally diverse-minded young talents of the sects together.

The disciples of the Four Sects and Eight Gates ceased their strife, only to bury this ending in their hearts, then activated their movement techniques, transformed into streams of spiritual light, and rushed towards the direction of the flare signal.

In the Shura field, the escape light converged at one point.

There was a grand momentum as if the Four Sects and Eight Gates, various heroes, assembled together to eliminate the arch-enemy, Mo Hua.

When everyone arrived at the scene of the flare, they saw a towering cliff, the wall standing thousands of feet high, with dense forests on both sides, desolate and empty.

Two teams of Ten Thousand Formations Sect disciples were nearby.

One disciple of the Ten Thousand Formations Sect pointed to the cliff and said:

”There are traces of formations here.”

”Outside is an Illusion Array, inside is a Concealment Formation, both are extremely rare Second Grade High-Level Formations.”

Ten Thousand Formations Sect is a Twelve Streams sect established on formations.

Their formation heritage has its own unique style.

Their disciples have considerable expertise in formations.

These formation traces were detected after the mist faded, relying on a portion of formation sensing and a bit of luck.

These formations are very sophisticated.

Throughout the Sword Discussion Conference, only Mo Hua had such accomplishment and means.

”Alright, you worked hard.”

Qin Cangliu nodded and then struck with his sword, killing the speaking disciple of the Ten Thousand Formations Sect.

Disciples of the other Eight Great Gates, seeing this, also acted, killing all the remaining disciples of the Ten Thousand Formations Sect.

The Ten Thousand Formations Sect is one of the Twelve Streams.

The reason why the disciples of the Ten Thousand Formations Sect could survive until now was that they relied on these Formation Masters to help find traces of Mo Hua, the Formation Leader.

Now that Mo Hua’s traces have been found.

The disciples of the Ten Thousand Formations Sect were no longer useful.

As for breaking the formation.

Although the disciples of the Ten Thousand Formations Sect were Formation Masters by birth, they were evidently unable to compare with the evil monster, Mo Hua.

They couldn’t break Mo Hua’s formations.

If they couldn’t break the formations, they could only resort to brute force.

So, the disciples of the Ten Thousand Formations Sect were useless.

The disciples of the Ten Thousand Formations Sect were all Formation Masters, engrossed in studying formations, simple-minded, and still immersed in the sense of achievement at discovering Mo Hua’s traces, only to be turned upon and killed one by one.

In their anger, the Elders of the Ten Thousand Formations Sect cursed loudly outside the battlefield:

”The Four Sects and Eight Gates, all are bastards!”
