Immortality Through Array Formations

Chapter 2863: Chapter 145: Danque Reunion (Part 3)

Chi Yan’s eyes were filled with hatred.

Mo Hua’s expression also cooled a few degrees, and he said:

”Take me to see the Great Chief. I have something important to say to him. If we miss the timing, your crime will be unforgivable. As for Young Master Dan Zhu, he knows what he’s doing. You don’t need to meddle.”

”This is also the last time I’ll ask you,” Mo Hua said indifferently, ”my time is limited, and I don’t want to waste more words. If you don’t agree, I’ll have the Shugubu kill you. Even Dan Zhu’s pleading will be useless.”

Chi Yan could feel the cold, merciless killing intent in Mo Hua’s eyes.

This was the decisive slaughter of one in a high position, indifferent yet resolute.

Chi Yan pondered for a moment, sighed, and said, ”Fine... I’ll take you to the Great Chief.”

There were indeed many things that were not for a Barbarian General like him to decide.

As for the matter of the Danque Young Master, only the Great Chief himself could pass judgment.

He might be able to stop this strange Shaman, Mo Hua, but he could not stop Young Master Dan Zhu from going to see the Great Chief.

Mo Hua looked into Chi Yan’s eyes and gave a slight nod.

...

Afterward, Chi Yan led the way, taking Mo Hua and the rest toward the main base of the Danque Tribe to see the Great Chief.

Traveling with them were Chi Feng, the two Elders Ba Shan and Bachuan, and several elite Barbarian Soldiers of the Danque Tribe.

Mo Hua knew there had always been some friction between the Danque and Shugu tribes, so he did not bring any members of the Shugu Clan, lest both sides become agitated and some unnecessary conflict arise.

For now, the best plan was to first let Dan Zhu meet his father and brother, and then see how things stood.

The group walked through the mountains.

During this time, Chi Yan had been leading the way. After they had gone some distance, he glanced at Chi Feng, held himself back several times, but finally couldn’t help it. Seizing a moment, he frowned and asked in a low voice:

”Lord Chi Feng, it’s one thing for the Young Master to trust that swindler, but how did you also fall under his spell, running around doing his errands?”

Chi Feng’s expression was solemn. ”Lord Shaman is wise and valiant. You must not show disrespect to Lord Shaman.”

Chi Yan’s expression froze, then turned to one of disbelief.

He couldn’t understand how the once battle-hardened, steady and seasoned Lord Chi Feng had become like some ’brainwashed’ stone man.

His mouth knew nothing but praising the Shaman’s sagacity.

Just what level of Soul Capturing Skill had that pretty boy cultivated?

It was one thing for the Young Master, pure-hearted and ignorant of human malice, to be deceived, but how could even the worldly, experienced Lord Chi Feng be bewitched so thoroughly?

Chi Yan felt a chill in his heart; it seemed far too terrifying.

He couldn’t help edging farther away from Mo Hua, fixing his gaze straight ahead, not daring to look at Mo Hua, and not daring to speak to him.

Thus the group continued on.

After walking for about half a day, they arrived before an inverted sand waterfall, where they saw sand and gravel pouring down like a fall, dust billowing.

Chi Yan searched the area, found a deeply hidden recess, then took a stone key from his mouth, inserted it into the groove, and gave it a twist. The sound of mechanisms shifting rang out.

Behind the sandfall, a secret door slowly emerged.

Chi Yan turned back to look at Mo Hua. ”The Great Chief and the others are in the secret base behind the sandfall.”

Mo Hua nodded. ”Lead the way.”

Chi Yan then stepped into the sandfall first.

Chi Feng followed closely, paving the way for Mo Hua, in case some of the Danque Tribe people tried to harm Lord Shaman.

Dan Zhu, however, hesitated for a long time before the sandfall.

Whether it was ”homecoming dread” at seeing his father and brother again after several years, or the agony of facing a cruel choice between his Taoist Heart and family affection, his heart felt as though it were being cut by knives, anxious and torn.

But what must come would come, sooner or later.

In the end, Dan Zhu took a deep breath and, bearing this inner conflict and pain, stepped into the sandfall, ready to meet his fate.

Mo Hua watched Dan Zhu’s back. After a silent moment, he also walked into the sandfall.

The two walked one before the other.

Dan Zhu was taller than Mo Hua, and his Realm was higher.

In terms of Cultivation, it was Dan Zhu who walked ahead, protecting Mo Hua.

But in terms of Taoist Heart and destiny, it was Mo Hua, this ”Gentleman,” who was escorting Dan Zhu from behind.

He was watching the road ahead for Dan Zhu, to keep this ”Disciple” from straying onto a wrong path in life.
