Immortality Through Array Formations - Chapter 1527

"To pursue?"

Mo Hua thought for a moment, then decided against it.

Since he didn’t trust himself, he couldn’t be bothered to meddle further and save him.

One must respect others’ fate.

Those who should die must die.

Mo Hua intended to leave, but halfway through, he suddenly furrowed his brows.

"Something’s wrong..."

Mo Hua turned around, released his Divine Sense, and scanned the surroundings. His gaze tightened, "Someone else has been here..."

There were traces of flattened grass, footprints of multiple people.

Nearby lingered mixed traces of Spiritual Power, faint, involving the Five Elements, but with an excess of cool Water Spiritual Power.

This was the aura of people.

Mo Hua’s Divine Sense sublimated, reaching near deity-like Divine Thought, making him very sensitive to such aura.

He walked to the cave entrance.

Despite the daylight, the cave was still dark.

Mo Hua hesitated for a while, but did not rush in recklessly. Instead, he took out a Little Tiger, letting it scouted the way. Seeing no activation of killing intent, he quietly went into the cave.

The cave was narrow, with worn-out walls.

Inside the cave, there were bloodstains, some damaged Spiritual Artifacts, empty pill bottles, clothes stained with blood, and so forth...

The old man had already left.

Going by the traces, he left in a hurry, seeming to realize someone was coming to kill him, so he had to leave earlier.

"The pursuers have arrived?"

Mo Hua’s expression shifted slightly, gaze suddenly deepening, pupils blackened, as Cause and Effect patterns emerged.

Moments later, he performed a Concealment Technique, hid his figure, left the cave, and followed a direction deeper into the mountain.

This mountain was a Desolate Mountain, with only some weeds and trees, no Monster Beasts, nor any other minerals.

Nearby Fish Cultivators lived by fishing, rarely entering the mountains.

The deeper he went, the more desolate it became.

But precisely due to its desolation, human’s Spiritual Power aura and Cause and Effect aura became more distinct.

Mo Hua followed the aura, kept walking into the mountains, not knowing how long he walked, suddenly hearing disturbances ahead.

Approaching, Mo Hua saw seven or eight cultivators besieging an old man.

The old man was Yu Canghai from the Water Prison Sect.

Besides him, seven or eight were dressed differently but all masked, full of killing intent, cultivation between Foundation Establishment Late Stage and Foundation Establishment Peak.

They weren’t fighting head-on, instead using a war of attrition, intending to exhaust the Water Prison Sect’s old man until he ran out of steam.

Yu Canghai was already severely injured, being besieged by several, consuming continuously, his face turning paper-white.

Among the seven or eight cultivators, the leader shouted:

"Old bastard, you’re facing death, why not surrender early and avoid unnecessary suffering."

Yu Canghai’s aura was unstable, voice trembling, but still angrily replied:

"A bunch of wretches, even if I die today, I’ll drag you down with me."

His Spiritual Power surged, Water Spiritual Power condensed into water needles, shooting outward.

Seeing him serious, the seven or eight cultivators immediately retreated, not confronting him directly, instead waiting until his Spiritual Power weakened before swarming back like mad dogs.

Even a fierce tiger fears packs of wolves tearing.

Not to mention this fierce tiger was severely wounded.

He was merely relying on his Golden Core foundation, barely holding on.

But clearly, he couldn’t hold on much longer.

Yu Canghai’s face showed despair, inner cold, thinking whether my Water Prison Sect’s Taoist inheritance would be cut off here...

At that moment, a clear voice of a young cultivator came from the side:

"Senior!"

There was a brief silence.

The combatants all stopped and looked towards the sound, seeing Mo Hua ’nervous’.

Mo Hua’s expression was determined, saying: "Senior, I will properly pass on the Water Prison Sect’s lineage, not disappointing Senior’s expectations!"

Finishing, he ’painfully’ turned and ran away.

Everyone was momentarily stunned.

Yu Canghai also paused, then understood, this young man was drawing fire away for him.

Indeed, those seven or eight masked cultivators appeared shocked.

"Big Brother, what now?"

"How was there a slip through?"

"He’s running!"

The leading masked cultivator angrily said:

"Split up, three of you chase that kid, the rest follow me to hold off this old man, leave no survivors!"

"Yes!"

Among them, a masked cultivator with sinister eyes said: "I’ll go too, I’m experienced in pursuit, this brat can’t escape my grasp."

The leader hesitated briefly, then nodded.

Thus, four from the group chased Mo Hua.

The remaining four continued besieging Yu Canghai.

Yu Canghai’s pressure decreased sharply, but at the same time, his heart sank.

"That kid is only Foundation Building Middle Stage, chased by four Foundation Establishment Late Stage killers, not knowing if he’ll escape..."

Though it’s meant to draw attention, it’s too reckless ultimately...

Yu Canghai thought with a sigh.

Meanwhile, Mo Hua indeed did not ’escape’.

He was tightly pursued by four Foundation Establishment Late Stage killers, making a big loop through the forest.

"Kid, stop running!"

"Keep running, I’ll break your legs, leave you no way to live or die!"

Mo Hua looked ’panicked’, his silhouette fleeing hastily.

After some time, Mo Hua suddenly took a detour to the mountainside, returning to the cave Yu Canghai previously hid in.

He seemed ’panic-stricken’, diving headlong into the cave.

His pursuers hesitated briefly, stopping.

"There’s a Formation outside the cave."

"Do we go in?"

Three of them looked at the sinister-eyed cultivator, clearly deferring to his decision.

The sinister-eyed cultivator pondered briefly and said coldly:

"The Formation outside the cave must be set up by that old Yu Canghai."
