Immortality Through Array Formations

Chapter 1878: Chapter 924: Hatred of Evil

Formation?

Why change the formation?

What use does this formation have?

After changing it, why take it out...

For a moment, Li San was filled with confusion, but in the next instant, he suppressed these doubts deep in his heart.

”What Elder You needs is absolute loyalty, a loyalty that disregards all else and faces death fearlessly. All I need to do is follow orders without having too many thoughts.”

”Only loyalty can earn Elder You’s approval.”

In recent times, through killing fellow sect members, he had already earned seven to eight thousand points of Demon Merit, such a generous reward was something impossible before.

This is the reward Elder You gives for his loyalty.

”Rest assured, Elder You, I will not fail!” Li San said.

”I look forward to your performance,” Mo Hua said.

”Yes!”

Afterwards, Li San didn’t hesitate, he went to the Merit Pavilion and spent three thousand Demon Merits to exchange for that ”Reverse Spirit Array Map.”

The steward of the Merit Pavilion was a bit surprised and frowned, ”You are not a Formation Master... what are you doing changing formations for?”

Li San replied coldly, ”Do I need to explain my actions to you?”

Soon, he was destined to become an elder.

This was the promise Elder You made to him.

With this confidence, he felt no anxiety and faced others fearlessly, completely unaware that he was actually helping the Demon Sect’s ”insider” steal the Demon Sect’s inheritance.

The steward was intimidated by his imposing presence and did not suspect anything for the moment.

It was just an odd formation, and if someone foolish wanted to spend Merit on it, what could he say?

The steward stored the Reverse Spirit Array Map in a wooden box and handed it to Li San.

After receiving it, Li San carefully placed it in his storage bag.

The entire process was very simple.

No one knew what this seemingly simple ”handover” actually meant.

No one in the Demon Sect knew what kind of formation they had delivered into the hands of a ”monster.”

Everything went smoothly afterwards.

Li San, already a Foundation Establishment Peak demon cultivator, had been in the Demon Sect for a long time, and his actions generally wouldn’t arouse suspicion.

Thus, he left the Demon Sect with the Reverse Spirit Formation and traveled for half a day to the small hillside designated by Mo Hua, then entered the small woods designated by Mo Hua.

Outside the small woods.

Mo Hua and Gu Changhuai were hiding in the bushes, watching Li San, dressed up as an old man, enter the small woods.

Gu Changhuai couldn’t help but ask Mo Hua:

”What kind of spell did you cast on him to make him so obedient?”

”Not much,” Mo Hua said, ”I just pretended to be a Demon Sect elder and spoke a few words to him.”

Gu Changhuai obviously didn’t believe it, but thinking about it, it wasn’t impossible.

After all, Mo Hua’s tongue was so eloquent that he could make the living die and resurrect the dead with his words.

Seeing Li San entering the small woods and walking into the trap, with no other demon cultivators following, Mo Hua patted Gu Changhuai’s shoulder:

”Uncle Gu, it’s up to you.”

Gu Changhuai was tall, Mo Hua wasn’t, and even though they were both crouching, patting his shoulder was a bit of a stretch.

Gu Changhuai silently glanced at Mo Hua.

Until now, no colleague in the entire Taoist Court dared to pat him on the shoulder.

But there was nothing he could do.

Gu Changhuai sighed and accepted the fact, ”Alright, I’ll be right back.”

Then Gu Changhuai stood up and walked into the woods.

From the woods came the fluctuations of spiritual power and evil qi, and the sounds of explosions rang out.

Green light and red light flashed, after a few rounds, Gu Changhuai came out, carrying the heavily injured and unconscious Li San in one hand, and holding a box in the other.

Mo Hua didn’t look at Li San, but instead looked at Gu Changhuai in shock, ”Uncle Gu, you’re at the Golden Core Middle Stage?”

Gu Changhuai responded with a faint ”Hmm.”

Outwardly, Gu Changhuai remained calm, but Mo Hua’s surprised expression did improve his mood quite a bit.

In the Golden Core Realm, each stage was a hurdle, breaking through was much more difficult than Foundation Establishment.

And because after forming the core, spiritual power crystallizes, the number of cycles increases, together with the boost from one’s own magical treasure, the strength gap between the initial, middle, and late stages of the Golden Core is significantly larger than before.

He had taken a big step forward by progressing from the initial to the middle stage of the Golden Core.

However, the two didn’t talk about it for long since there was still important business to handle.

”What do you plan to do with this Li San?” Gu Changhuai asked, ”Kill him?”

Mo Hua pondered.

Logically, demon cultivators, who’ve committed numerous evil deeds, like this ”senior” Li San, surely have many lives on their hands and naturally should be killed.

But for some unknown reason, this person was too brainwashed, too ”devoted.”

So devoted that even Mo Hua felt it would be a waste to kill him.

”Let’s spare his life for now and imprison him in the Taoist Prison. He might become a crucial pawn in the future,” Mo Hua said.

Gu Changhuai nodded, ”Alright.”

He then handed the box in his hand to Mo Hua, ”Is this what you wanted?”

Mo Hua’s eyes lit up, he nodded repeatedly, ”Yes!”

After receiving the wooden box, Mo Hua checked it over, confirmed there were no problems, and then cautiously opened it.

Inside the plain wooden box was a piece of ancient parchment, bearing simple and obscure patterns, almost seamlessly continued from the First Grade Reversing Spirit Array.

Mo Hua could almost see the laws of spiritual power reverse transformation flowing through it slowly.

These reverse transformation laws were like a spark that, when kindled, could trigger a violent explosion with unimaginable killing power.

Mo Hua’s eyes gleamed.
