Immortality Through Array Formations

Chapter 1435: Chapter 787 Extinguished Light (Thanks to Boss Xiao Bai Bai’s radish Alliance Hierarch~)

Jin Gui was killed with a single finger by Mo Hua.

Several monster cultivators remained on the scene, all of whom were shocked and scattered to flee, but none could escape the lethal grasp of the Sword Bone, who hunted them down and killed them with the White Bone Sword.

After the monster cultivators died, quite a bit of evil thoughts remained.

The Sword Bone looked on greedily, but dared not move in Mo Hua’s presence, trying its best to pose as an ”honest being.”

After all, devouring evil spirits is not something a proper evil spirit should do.

Mo Hua glanced at it and said:

”Go ahead and eat.”

”No, no,” the Sword Bone shook its head vigorously, ”One becomes red by being close to the vermillion, and black by being close to the ink. By staying with you, I will definitely forsake evil and follow the right path, never touching these demon monsters and evil spirits.”

Mo Hua’s expression turned slightly complex, frowning as he spoke:

”When I tell you to eat, you eat. Why so much nonsense?”

”I...”

The Sword Bone was still hesitating.

It wasn’t sure if Mo Hua truly wanted it to eat, or was merely ”testing” it to see if it could control its desires and resist the temptation of the ”evil spirits.”

Sometimes, it’s hard to gauge the ”intentions from above.”

The Sword Bone couldn’t make up its mind, so it sneaked a glance at Mo Hua, and seeing Mo Hua growing impatient, suddenly felt a pang of tension and quickly said:

”Yes! Yes! Thank you, young master, for the reward. I will act according to your command.”

The implication being, it wasn’t that it wanted to eat.

It was eating under your orders.

Please don’t turn against me...

Then the Sword Bone stopped hesitating and began to absorb the evil thoughts of the surrounding demon spirits into its belly.

At first, it was still somewhat refined, looking up at Mo Hua’s expression with every bite, pausing instantly if Mo Hua’s expression soured.

But after a while, it found that Mo Hua truly didn’t seem to care whether it consumed these evil thoughts, and it finally relaxed.

Once it relaxed, it felt the ”hunger” becoming unbearable.

Since becoming the ”Sword Demon,” it hadn’t ”fed” on any telekinesis. Now with so much abundant monster cultivator evil thoughts laid before it, they appeared particularly ”delicious.”

The Sword Bone could not resist indulging greatly.

Mo Hua indeed did not care.

These evil thoughts were beneath his notice.

Moreover, though monster cultivators were essentially ”half-demon,” they still had human appearances, which Mo Hua found unappetizing.

He walked to a nearby coffin.

The three pitch-black coffins were engraved with Monster Patterns, cold and strange, identical to the coffins outside where the Little Wood and the other two were sacrificed.

There were indeed some formations on the coffins as well.

With a casual swipe, Mo Hua broke the formations and lifted the coffins open.

Sure enough, Linghu Xiao, Ouyang Mu, and Song Jian were inside.

Their faces were pale, eyes tightly shut, unconscious.

With a sweep of Divine Sense, Mo Hua discovered that the Divine Thought of these three was pure and untainted by demon monster qi.

It was likely just the first time their Divine Soul left their bodies, so they appeared a bit weak, but there was no harm.

Mo Hua nodded slightly, finally feeling relieved.

On the other side, the Sword Bone had devoured all the evil thoughts of the monster cultivators in a swift and gluttonous manner.

The wounds left by Mo Hua’s earlier ”maltreatment” were gradually healing.

At the same time, its Demonic Qi, swirling around the White Bone, became increasingly intense, and its aura steadily rose.

A crimson, malevolent gleam shone in its eyes.

It felt its Dao cultivation greatly increasing, a savage intent brewing within, capable of tearing apart, devouring, and suppressing everything.

The aura of the Evil Demon grew ever more arrogant...

The Sword Bone lowered its head and glanced at Mo Hua.

Mo Hua returned the glance calmly.

Like a basin of cold water poured overhead, the Sword Bone’s pompous aura extinguished at once.

It bent over, awkwardly saying:

”Young master, I’ve...finished eating...”

”Mm.” Mo Hua nodded, pointing at Linghu Xiao and the others, ”Carry them, let’s go back first.”

At the mention of going back, the Sword Bone quickly nodded, ”Alright! Alright!”

Having consumed a substantial amount of evil thoughts, it had quite a ”nourishing” gain, benefiting greatly.

Now that the people were rescued and it could safely escape from the dangerous Demon Refining Diagram, it was truly a win-win situation.

No risks incurred, abundant rewards received!

The Sword Bone was quietly delighted.

Even the ”Plague God” that was Mo Hua seemed endearing to it now.

The tall and skeletal Sword Bone promptly hoisted Ouyang Mu and the others, following Mo Hua along the original path out of the valley, past the White Bone Path, along the Divine Chains, and back to the Blood Pool.

Peace reigned along the way.

The Sword Bone finally felt at ease.

It had finally ”come home”...

But just as it set down Linghu Xiao and the others, Mo Hua said, ”You come with me for another trip back.”

”Back?”

The Sword Bone was stunned.

”Aren’t the people already rescued? What are we going back for?”

Mo Hua gave it a faint look, ”Getting them out was just the beginning of the real business...”

”The rightful affairs” hadn’t been done yet.

Real business...

The Sword Bone was left momentarily confused.

This little ancestor, what exactly does he intend to do?

The Sword Bone wanted to ask but didn’t dare, wanted to refuse but didn’t have the courage, not wanting to appear ”impolite,” and could only hang its head and say:

”Yes.”

Little Wood and the others remained unconscious.

Mo Hua confirmed that their Divine Soul had no other issues and temporarily left them in the Blood Pool, drawing Formation Patterns of the Divine Way around them.

These Divine Formation Patterns were both to ”seal” and to ”protect” them.

Once everything was ready, Mo Hua again followed the Divine Chains back into the Demon Refining Diagram.

The Sword Bone hesitated for a moment, but could only grit its teeth and follow.

Inside the Demon Refining Diagram, the scenery remained the same.

But this time, Mo Hua, having no worries, had much more freedom of action.
