Immortality Through Array Formations

Chapter 2491: Chapter 17: Decadence (Part 2)

”Never heard of it?” Mo Hua was somewhat surprised, ”Such a loud wolf howl...”

Luo Master still shook his head, ”I’ve lived in Canglang City for so long, and I’ve never heard of a wolf howl.”

Mo Hua frowned slightly, muttering to himself.

That’s a bit strange...

The wolf howl of the Canglang Sect seems not to be audible to everyone. At least the ordinary cultivators in Canglang City shouldn’t have noticed it.

This possibility has many angles.

But with the current lack of clues, Mo Hua couldn’t determine which one was the truth.

Luo Master asked in a low voice, ”Young Master Mo, this wolf howl...”

”Oh, it’s nothing,” Mo Hua said casually, ”I was just asking, maybe I heard it wrong.”

Since Luo Master didn’t know, Mo Hua couldn’t involve him; otherwise, his Foundation Establishment Early Stage wouldn’t withstand Canglang Sect’s retaliation.

Mo Hua then asked about another matter, ”Luo Master, is the reputation of the Canglang Sect not good usually?”

”Well...” Luo Master was obviously not at liberty to speak.

But since Mo Hua asked, he couldn’t stay silent and only said, ”In the cultivation world, it’s big fish eating small fish, and small fish eating shrimp.”

”The Canglang Sect is the ’big fish’; other forces are small fish and shrimp.”

”The Canglang Sect’s great power comes from monopolizing, annexing, and expanding step by step.”

”Once, in this Third Grade Canglang City, apart from the Canglang Sect, there were nearly a hundred other factions, and there were even Third Grade forces. But now they’re merely nominal, leaving Canglang Sect as the sole dominant power.”

”When there were many forces, it was a bit better, though chaotic, but everyone could at least have a bowl of soup.”

”Now, with Canglang Sect dominating, their appetite is growing larger. They not only eat meat but leave barely a drop of soup.”

”So, you can see the main city of Canglang City becoming more prosperous and lavish.”

”But the surrounding streets, even the nearby small areas, are becoming less populated and poorer.”

”And monopolizing and annexing are bloody; there are filthy matters in these that I... am not at liberty to discuss.”

Luo Master looked secretive.

Mo Hua nodded and was about to ask something else when he suddenly felt the ”watching” divine sense entwine him again. He said no more and rose to take his leave:

”It’s getting late, I should be going back.”

Luo Master tried to persuade him to stay, ”Why not stay for a simple meal?”

”We’ll talk about it next time.”

Watching Mo Hua leave, Luo Master felt apprehensive and asked in a low voice, ”About that matter... Young Master you...”

Mo Hua was slightly startled, ”That matter?”

”It’s just...” Luo Master wanted to speak but hesitated, feeling uneasy.

Mo Hua suddenly understood and said, ”Oh, you’re asking me to speak to the Sect Master about recommending you to join the Canglang Sect.”

Luo Master was taken aback.

Mo Hua winked at him, and Luo Master caught on, laughing awkwardly, ”Yes, yes...”

Mo Hua sighed, ”That’s not easy. The Sect Leader is a busy person; if there’s a chance in the future, I’ll mention it to him...”

Luo Master hurriedly thanked, ”Thank you, Young Master, thank you...”

”Alright, I’m heading back to the Canglang Sect.”

Mo Hua said casually, then got up and took his leave.

”Take care, Young Master.” Luo Master watched Mo Hua’s back, sighing slightly in his heart.

...

Afterward, Mo Hua didn’t linger and returned directly to the Canglang Sect.

The Sect Leader of Canglang Sect was indeed very busy, too busy to pay attention to him, and no one managed him, so Mo Hua enjoyed his freedom.

Wandering around the Canglang Sect, Mo Hua returned to his luxurious guest room and began studying formations.

In the evening, there was another knock on the door.

Mo Hua opened the door to find a beautiful woman standing at the entrance.

This woman exuded a completely different charm, with a tall figure, graceful waist, enchanting eyes, and sheer clothes adorning her body.

The clothes she wore seemed almost nonexistent.

”It’s hot, and I...”

Bam—

Mo Hua closed the door, rubbing his eyes, ”Saw something filthy...”

He imagined the appearance of his Senior Sister in his mind, clearing away the unclean thoughts, settling his heart with warmth and peace, then turned back to continue his formation study.

The beautiful woman at the door, unable to finish her sentence, was shut out by Mo Hua, feeling both embarrassed and angry, a trace of ferocity on her pretty face, stomped her foot furiously as she walked back. Halfway, she encountered a burly elder with a scarred chest.

The beautiful woman greeted, ”Elder Ji.”

The man, addressed as ”Elder Ji,” gently helped her up, caressing her waist with his hand, ”What’s wrong? Turned away?”

The beautiful woman huffed, ”A handsome face, but such a blockhead.”

Elder Ji chuckled, ”He may be a blockhead, but I’m not. Come to my room later, and I’ll console you.”

The woman gave him a seductive glance, ”I’ll wait for you then...”

Elder Ji’s heart fluttered.

The woman swayed her hips as she walked away.

Elder Ji’s gaze followed the enchanting figure of the woman until she disappeared, then he turned and looked at Mo Hua’s room, frowning, quite puzzled.

”Such top-notch goods, and he’s not interested...”

”Could it be... doesn’t like women?”

...

The next day, Mo Hua got up early on purpose, cultivated for a while, then half-sat by the window, waiting for the wolf to howl again.

Yet for some reason, the mountains and forests were silent, with no sound of a wolf howl.

Mo Hua was displeased in his heart.

Just then, there was another knock on the door.

Frowning, Mo Hua opened the door to find a burly man with a chest scar standing at the entrance.

”Who are you?”

The burly man cupped his hands and smiled at Mo Hua, ”I am Ji, an elder of the Canglang Sect.”

Mo Hua nodded, ”Elder Ji, what brings you here?”

Elder Ji said, ”Young Master Mo is an honored guest and should have been personally attended by the Sect Leader. Unfortunately, the Sect Leader, with his high position and great responsibilities, is too busy to find the time. I must take on this responsibility on his behalf.”
