Immortality Through Array Formations

Chapter 1882: Chapter 925: Lust to Kill

”If I’m not mistaken, the Demon Sect’s hideout is deep within Yanluo Mountain, it’s where the Mistwater River flows through, and it’s interconnected, housing a Blood Pool.”

”These three places are the most suspicious. But whether they truly are, I dare not guarantee. I’ll leave it to the Taoist Court to send someone to investigate.”

Gu Changhuai nodded, ”I’ll handle this. You’ve worked hard.”

”Not at all,” Mo Hua paused for a moment, then asked, ”Uncle Gu, do you truly plan to besiege the Demon Sect?”

Gu Changhuai was a bit surprised, ”You want to kill them?”

Mo Hua nodded, ”Heretical Demons, all must be exterminated.”

Gu Changhuai frowned slightly, then sighed softly, ”We’ve investigated, the Demon Sect currently should still have over ten Golden Core cultivators, apart from the regular ones, there are some who are Guest Elders.”

”Regarding the regular Elders, thanks to the intelligence you provided before, we’ve killed quite a few, but the real leaders are still there...”

”There are still those Guest Elders, who are Demon Golden Cores temporarily recruited, their strength and methods are mostly unknown.”

”Moreover, the Demon Sect’s Foundation Establishment Disciples, I’m afraid there are four or five hundred—these are the Skill Transmission Disciples, including ordinary disciples, and those blood slaves who have joined the Demon Sect, the number might be two or three thousand.”

Mo Hua was puzzled, ”Do blood slaves also serve the Demon Sect?”

”The key to blood slaves is the word ’slave’. Slaves are pitiful, lamentable, but also hateful. Once reduced to a blood slave, they dare not defy their ’master’.” Gu Changhuai said.

Mo Hua felt quite conflicted.

Gu Changhuai continued, ”The current problem is, the Demon Sect’s influence is still too strong, they occupy the Second Grade State Border with a Third Grade base, with the Taoist Court’s strength, it’s not difficult to defeat them, but to completely annihilate them is almost impossible.”

”If the besiegement isn’t thorough, once the Demon Sect is defeated, many demon cultivators might scatter and flee, causing more casualties with reckless killings.”

Mo Hua frowned, then after pondering for a moment, asked, ”How about... I ask the Sect Elders for help?”

Gu Changhuai was taken aback, ”Your Sect Elders would listen to you?”

”How could they.” Mo Hua shook his head and said, ”I’m just going back to ask, to see if I can invite some Golden Core Elders for assistance.”

Gu Changhuai’s mind stirred.

The Golden Core Elders of Taixu Gate...

This indeed is a powerful aid.

But considering its magnitude, he’s momentarily undecided.

Mo Hua asked, ”Previously when the Taoist Court acted, would they invite people from the Sect for assistance?”

Gu Changhuai thought for a moment and shook his head, ”Rarely...”

”This kind of large-scale besiege involving Golden Core Realm demon cultivators is rare, perhaps encountered once in a century or two.”

”Moreover, among the Sect, there are many noble family’s sons, complex compositions, asking them to act could easily lead to unexpected issues.”

”Also, cleansing the demon cultivators is the responsibility of the Taoist Court, most sects have their own matters and are not obligated to assist the Taoist Court.”

Mo Hua nodded, indicating understanding.

”How about this, Uncle Gu, discuss it with Sister Xia, decide whether to conduct a large-scale siege against the Demon Sect, if you’re short on manpower, just let me know.”

”Leave Taixu Gate to me, I’ll communicate with the Elders in advance.”

”If both sides have no issues, then let’s join forces and utterly destroy this wicked Demon Sect!” Mo Hua said sternly.

Gu Changhuai only thought for a moment, then immediately nodded, ”Alright!”

Currently, this indeed seems the best approach.

Taixu Gate is still trustworthy.

If Mo Hua can persuade the Elders of Taixu Gate to act, then the chance of success in this siege against the Demon Sect is very high.

After discussing, the two immediately left the Secret Chamber.

After all, such a confidential place shouldn’t be stayed in too long, if discovered, it would be hard to explain.

Gu Changhuai checked the documents and jade slips in the Secret Chamber again to make sure there were no omissions, then searched Mo Hua, ensuring he wasn’t smuggling anything, before feeling reassured.

Afterward, Gu Changhuai quietly led Mo Hua out of the Secret Chamber.

Out of the Secret Chamber, the two no longer needed to sneak around, casually walking down the corridor of the Taoist Court.

Gu Changhuai suddenly thought of something, said to Mo Hua, ”By the way, that Li San... I had him severely interrogated.”

”Did you get anything out of him?”

”No, he said nothing.”

”Such a hard mouth?”

”It’s not that his mouth is hard,” Gu Changhuai’s expression was subtle, ”It’s rather like... he’s lost all will to live, so he’d rather die than say anything.”

Mo Hua was stunned, ”Lost all will to live?”

”Yes.”

Mo Hua also frowned, pondered for a moment, then his gaze stiffened, ”Uncle Gu, give him his Token.”

Gu Changhuai shook his head, ”That’s against the rules.”

”Give it to him secretly, nothing will happen.”

Gu Changhuai frowned.

Mo Hua then said, ”I have something very important.”

Gu Changhuai was silent for a moment, then sighed, ”Alright.”

”Then I’ll return to the Sect first, Uncle Gu, I’ll leave this matter to you.”

”Hmm.”

Afterward, Mo Hua bid farewell to Gu Changhuai and returned to Taixu Gate.

Gu Changhuai also remembered what Mo Hua had mentioned, didn’t delay too long, then called a Gu Family Enforcement Leader, and whispered a few words.

That Gu Family Enforcement Leader paused for a moment, nodded, then went directly to the Taoist Prison located underground in the Taoist Court, used to imprison Sin Cultivators.

The Taoist Prison was eerie, damp, gloomy, the stench of rot wafted through the air.

In one of the cells, after severe torture, Li San was lying on the cold ground, his body covered with blood marks, his eyes vacant, his expression indifferent, his whole being lifeless.

”Elder You... he deceived me, he betrayed me...”

”This is all a scam.”

”What loyalty, what the position of Elder, all were lies.”

”He wants to kill me...”

”All lies...”
