Immortality Through Array Formations

Chapter 1428: Chapter 784 Sacrifice (Extra Chapter for Heavenly Secret Dummy Meow Boss~)_4

Finally, two hours later, when he brought Elder Xun and the other two, passed through the Demon Refining Pot, Alchemy Room, and the Formation Stone Palace, and chased to the final destination, this uneasy premonition grew stronger.

The final location was a magnificent mural.

On the mural, valleys stood tall, treacherous boulders were menacing, and ferocious demonic creatures were dancing chaotically—it was that very... Demon Refining Diagram!

Outside the Demon Refining Diagram, there were many monster cultivators guarding it.

Near the Demon Refining Diagram, there were three coffins placed there.

The coffins were pitch-black, inscribed with monster patterns, cold and peculiar.

In front of each coffin, there were dim green candles lit, with all sorts of flesh, white bone, and evil fruit laid out as offerings.

In the center of the Demon Refining Diagram, there was a witch-like overseer, trembling all over, muttering something mysteriously.

It seemed as if some kind of ”ritual” was being carried out.

Mo Hua took one look and saw it clearly, ”They are performing a sacrifice!”

And at the same time, this group of monster cultivators also saw Mo Hua, especially Xun Ziyou and the others in their sect’s Taoist robes, and were immediately shocked, incredulously saying:

”Golden Core?!”

Xun Ziyou’s expression turned cold, and he decisively ordered, ”Kill!”

Then he and Shangguan Xuanjian, with chilling sword intent, either controlling sword weapons or condensing sword Qi, slaughtered the surrounding monster cultivators one by one.

In front of the formidable late Golden Core stage sword cultivators, this group of monster cultivators had no power to fight back.

The witch monster cultivator seemed to want to overturn the altar and ruin the ritual, but was restrained by Elder Xun Zixian with a backhanded move.

A spiritual rope engraved with formations bound her firmly.

The witch could not move.

Elder Xun Zixian coldly questioned, ”What is the sacrificial ritual? How do you reverse it? How do you retrieve the ’offerings’?”

The witch flashed a grin, revealing teeth black as Mo, and then a flash of evil light in her eyes, immediately causing an explosion of her orifices and the collapse of her sea of consciousness, dying on the spot.

Elder Xun Zixian tried to stop her but was helpless, his face turning ashen.

By now, the nearby monster cultivators were already dead.

The outer monster cultivators, unaware of the situation, were slain by the sword Qi.

This witch overseer who was conducting the sacrificial ritual obviously knew something, yet was destroyed by an evil thought, self-destructing her sea of consciousness and dying.

The surroundings were empty, with only the three coffins in the middle.

Not only Mo Hua, but even Xun Ziyou and the other two had a guess in their hearts.

Moments later, Xun Ziyou sighed:

”Let’s open the coffins and take a look...”

Xun Zixian hesitated for a moment, then broke the formations on the coffins and opened them one by one.

Inside the coffins lay three youths.

It was Ling Huxiao, Ouyang Mu, and Song Jian.

At this moment, all three had faces as pale as death, not a trace of blood on them, their life force extinguished, like corpses deprived of their ”divine souls.”

Shangguan Xuanjian’s body trembled, his face turned ashen, eyes filled with despair.

Xun Ziyou and Xun Zixian remained silent, not knowing how to offer comfort.

The atmosphere was somewhat dead and silent.

It was at this moment that they heard Mo Hua beside them exhale lightly and say:

”Thankfully...”

Xun Ziyou and Xun Zixian were taken aback.

Shangguan Xuanjian also suddenly looked up, as if grasping at the straw to save his life, looking at Mo Hua with hope.

”Mo...”

His voice was somewhat hoarse.

Mo Hua nodded and said, ”The divine souls were sacrificed, but fortunately, it hasn’t been long since the sacrifice; they should still be able to be salvaged...”

He was somewhat familiar with such matters.

Upon hearing this, the expressions of Xun Ziyou and the others were one of astonishment.

They were all serious cultivators, not very knowledgeable about the divine way’s studies.

Though Xun Zixian knew a bit, he was far from expert.

”How... to save them?”

Mo Hua looked up, glanced at the solemn and grand Demon Refining Diagram, which seemed to have countless demons howling, and casually said:

”I just need to go in!”

His eyes faintly lit up, showing a hint of excitement.

Originally, he was almost about to leave the valley...

But this group of monster cultivators coincidentally ”lured” him here.

If he didn’t go into this Demon Refining Diagram to take a look, wouldn’t it be... ungrateful to their painstaking efforts of ”leading a wolf into the house?”
