Immortality Through Array Formations

Chapter 697: Chapter 558 Meeting_3

Just then, an icy yet clear voice rang out:

“Big Senior Brother…”

Gui Tao’s people turned their heads and saw Bai Qiancheng standing to the side.

Bai Qiancheng had been standing aside all along, witnessing with her own eyes as three Feathered Immortals of the Taoist Court were killed by Gui Tao’s people, and then watched as Gui Tao’s people used the Undying Blood to melt Old Kui.

She could only stand by idly.

No one could stop what her Big Senior Brother wanted to do.

Whoever tried would die, including herself.

However, she still remembered the request of her twin children, so in the end, she wanted to save Mo Hua from Gui Tao’s people’s hands.

No matter what, the child was innocent after all.

Moreover, he was indeed a disciple accepted by Senior Brother Zhuang, and shouldn’t be involved in this right and wrong, to lose his life because of it…

“Big Senior Brother… give me that child…”

Gui Tao’s people looked up, glanced at the Formation Pavilion, apparently thinking of something, and casually tossed Mo Hua to Bai Qiancheng.

Bai Qiancheng instantly caught him, involuntarily examining Mo Hua, and silently said in her heart:

“Is this… the little disciple Zixi is concerned about…”

The Spiritual Root is very poor…

Compared to Zixi, it’s really like heaven and earth…

She then looked at his appearance.

He does look quite good…

His features are picturesque, he’s lovable, with a pure and ethereal temperament, invoking an instinctive fondness when seen.

And his eyes are clear, revealing at a glance that his nature is also good…

It’s just… the Spiritual Root is poor, and the bloodline is even worse…

Bai Qiancheng frowned.

“Why did Senior Brother Zhuang accept such a young disciple?”

Furthermore, what surprised her the most was Big Senior Brother…

Big Senior Brother was once gentle and elegant, kind and tender to people, but since he turned into Gui Tao’s people, he became sinister, terrifying, cold, and heartless.

This was the first time she saw Big Senior Brother carrying a small child, not letting go the entire way.

And in her view, the two seemed to get along very casually, even a bit “close”?

Bai Qiancheng furrowed her brows in confusion.

Meanwhile, Mo Hua looked up and also saw Bai Qiancheng.

With just one glance, he was amazed.

So beautiful…

After a second glance, he felt that the woman’s eyes and brows resembled those of his little sister-disciple…

“Are you the mother of my little sister-disciple?”

Mo Hua couldn’t help but ask.

Bai Qiancheng was slightly taken aback, then involuntarily nodded.

Mo Hua silently calculated, “The mother of my little sister-disciple is also Uncle’s sister-disciple, and also my master’s sister-disciple… So I should address you as… ‘Aunt’?”

Bai Qiancheng was startled.

This child is so smart and seems a bit… overly familiar?

“Correct.”

Bai Qiancheng nodded again.

“Disciple Mo Hua, greetings to Aunt,” Mo Hua said politely.

A warmth blossomed in Bai Qiancheng’s heart.

She looked at Mo Hua once more and noticed that Mo Hua had no injuries, wasn’t “Planted with Devil in the Taoist Heart,” his eyes were clear and upright, without any abnormalities, and she breathed a sigh of relief.

After hesitating for a moment, Bai Qiancheng then said to Mo Hua:

“Good child, stay here and don’t run around. I’m going to check on your master…”

Mo Hua immediately said, “Aunt, may I go in as well?”

Bai Qiancheng was taken aback.

Mo Hua whispered, “I also want to see my master…”

Bai Qiancheng felt a bitter tug in her heart but still declined, “It will be very dangerous for you to go in…”

“Oh…”

Mo Hua nodded, disappointed yet understanding.

Bai Qiancheng left Mo Hua behind and walked towards the Formation Pavilion. After taking a few steps, she looked back and saw Mo Hua standing there, all alone, feeling a touch of heartache and worry.

If Gui Tao’s people came out, this child might still be in danger…

But now she couldn’t manage that much anymore.

Her Senior Brother’s life was hanging by a thread.

The opportunity related to the Back Ruins Heaven Burial, although the old ancestor told her to “stand idly by,” when the time actually came, she couldn’t possibly just sit back and do nothing.

“Well, let fate take its course…”

Bai Qiancheng’s expression was solemn; he clenched his teeth and also entered the Formation Pavilion…

And Mo Hua, he just stood there alone.

He wanted to go in, but he couldn’t.

It seemed that there was some kind of barrier in the Formation Pavilion. Uncle and Senior Uncle had high cultivation and deep mastery in formation, hence they could disregard the barrier and enter the Formation Pavilion.

But he couldn’t get in…

Yet, staying here didn’t seem safe either.

Once everything settled down and Uncle came out, he would probably kill him too.

Mo Hua sighed.

It was at this moment that a buzzing sound came from the Five Elements Mountain Guarding Formation around him.

Mo Hua was startled and looked up.

He saw that within the Large Formation, one of the main Formation Pivots was operating on its own, dazzlingly bright.

“Is this… the Formation Pivot?”

Mo Hua suddenly remembered what his master had said to him when he first arrived at the Five Elements Sect.

He remembered that at that time, he and his master had talked about the Five Elements Mountain Guarding Formation.

His master then drew a mountain map on a piece of paper, outlined several lines along the mountain’s profile, and instructed him, saying:

“… This is the Five Elements Mountain Guarding Formation, the main formation pivot’s meridians; you remember this.”

“When the formation circulates, there will be a life-gate on the formation pivot.”

“Although this small section is a second-grade Formation Pivot, it is similar in pattern to the Five Elements Slaughter Demon Great Formation, and with your Divine Sense being sufficient, you should be able to calculate the life-gate on your own…”

Mo Hua was racked with agonizing thoughts.

“Calculating the life-gate…”

Did his master have arrangements in place all along…

Did he anticipate that I would be captured by Uncle and brought back to the Five Elements Sect, so he told me the life-gate of this section of the formation in advance?

Did he want me to calculate the life-gate of the Five Elements Mountain Guarding Formation, and then leave on my own, staying away from this place of imminent danger…

“Master…”

Mo Hua’s eyes welled up with tears.

He didn’t want to go; he wanted to see his master one more time.

But…

Even if he saw his master, what could he do?

What could he do himself?

With such low cultivation, not strong enough Divine Sense, and formation skills not yet mastered, in such a perilous place, he could hardly keep himself safe…

The Large Formation buzzed again.

It was as if the master was urging him to leave…

Mo Hua felt desolate, wiped away his tears, and then sat down on the ground. Using the Calculation Method taught by his master, he step by step calculated the entire Formation Pivot of the Large Formation, found the position and determined the life-gate.

After determining the life-gate, Mo Hua looked up at the Formation Pavilion.

It was as if his master was inside, silently watching him.

It seemed to say, “Go on…”

Mo Hua hung his head, his figure full of desolation, and walked silently to the section of the mountain range marked by Mr. Zhuang and to the formation in front of the mountain range.

Following the life-gate he had set, Mo Hua stepped forward and walked into the middle of the Large Formation.

The Large Formation turned into a Spirit Screen, with Spiritual Power flowing like blades, airtight.

However, the life-gate was where the Formation Pivot’s key lay, also the space reserved for life.

Mo Hua stepped into the life-gate as the surging Spiritual Power rapidly circled around him, like a boundless river or a galloping herd of thousands of horses, yet it did not harm him.

On the contrary, this Spiritual Power was protecting Mo Hua.

It shielded Mo Hua all the way, allowing him to leave the Mountain Protection Array unharmed…

…

Fourth floor of the Formation Pavilion.

Mr. Zhuang just sat there silently, watching Mo Hua walk out of the Large Formation all alone.

A moment later, the Formation Pavilion shook.

The Five Elements Formation on the fourth floor was eroded by pitch-black Formation Patterns, torn open, and a figure walked in.

With white hair cascading down his shoulders and an indifferent expression.

It was Gui Tao’s people.

Mr. Zhuang’s breath was weak, his face pale as paper, but his expression was tranquil, as if confronting his destiny, revealing a composed smile.

“Long time no see…”

“Senior Brother.”
