The Quest for Immortality

And now, with this Golden Core blocking in front, don’t even think about catching that little brat.

As for the pupil technique of the Evil Transformation Skill, he had used it several times, and his divine thought was now exhausted. He couldn’t use it again for a while.

Especially when dealing with a Golden Core, the pupil technique consumes tremendously.

Water Yama immediately flickered, transforming into more water shadows.

Mo Hua saw this and quickly shouted, ”Uncle Gu, he’s trying to escape!”

Gu Changhuai swept his divine sense, and after several breaths, he barely discerned Water Yama’s true form among the numerous ghostly shadows. Immediately, he swung his longsword, cutting forth a sword light.

The sword light broke through the void, but it landed on empty space.

Water Yama’s figure flickered, narrowly dodging, but his heart tightened, and he couldn’t help but curse.

Afterward, he no longer hesitated, fully employing his movement technique, accelerating towards the shore to flee.

At this moment, a peculiar sense of crisis arose.

Whose divine sense... locked onto him?

Water Yama’s expression changed.

In just an instant, a water light descended, transforming into chains locked him securely.

But in just another moment, Water Yama flashed, as if coated in a layer of water light, the water force circulated, easily breaking free from the Water Prison Technique that Mo Hua had previously wielded with ease.

After breaking free, Water Yama was already fleeing to the water’s edge.

Yet he did not flee further but turned his head, looking at Mo Hua with disbelief and sudden realization.

”Such a precise Water Prison Technique! You’re actually... a remnant of the Water Prison Sect?! No wonder, no wonder...”

Water Yama muttered.

Mo Hua was stunned.

Water Prison Sect?

Did this Water Yama mistakenly think I was from the Water Prison Sect?

Gu Changhuai wouldn’t waste words with him, he held his sword horizontally, and within a few steps, he approached Water Yama again, intending to completely capture him.

Water Yama gave Mo Hua one last silent glance, a cold killing intent in his eyes.

”Those from the Water Prison Sect must die!”

Then he forcefully took another sword from Gu Changhuai, shaking his vitality and blood, his face turning pale, knowing things couldn’t be accomplished at this moment. He no longer hesitated, leaping into Mistwater River.

Once he entered the river, it was like a dragon returning to the sea.

Water Yama’s aura merged with the entire river, his movement technique even faster, like a demonic creature in the water, turning into a torrent, swimming deeper into Mistwater River.

Gu Changhuai stepped by the riverbank, chased a few steps, but scanning ahead, Water Yama’s trace was already gone, his face sank unwittingly.

This Water Yama could come and go freely in water.

It seemed Mistwater River was indeed his life territory.

This kind of cultivator proficient in water, once they dive into water, it is as if a fierce tiger returns to the mountain, catching him again might be as hard as climbing the sky.

Not to mention catching, finding him again might be extremely difficult...

Gu Changhuai glanced at the undulating and unfathomable Mistwater River, his expression became more grave for a while.

Then he could only sheathe his longsword, turned around, checking on Gu An and Gu Quan’s status.

Gu An and Gu Quan had already regained composure, but their lips were pale, seemingly disturbed by the evil qi, still trembling slightly.

Mo Hua stared into their eyes for a while, relaxed, and said:

”Luckily, just evil qi entered the body, light an incense and meditate quietly, calm the mind, and recuperate for a while, then it will be fine.”

Water Yama used evil qi, not evil spirits.

If it was evil spirits, it would be much more troublesome.

In his own Sea of Consciousness, even if it were demon monsters, Mo Hua wouldn’t be afraid.

But in someone else’s Sea of Consciousness, he currently had not much way.

Seeing Mo Hua say this, Gu Changhuai was relieved.

Mo Hua understood these strange things more.

”Let’s go back first, as for Water Yama’s matter, plan further...” Gu Changhuai said solemnly.

”Hmm.”

Mo Hua responded, then turned back, glanced at the vast Mistwater River, expression complex.

...

After Gu An and Gu Quan had adjusted their breath for a while, their bodies seemed fine, and everyone returned along the same path to the previous station.

In the station, those bandit cultivators who were tied up were still there.

”These bandit cultivators, should we escort them back to the Taoist Court?” Mo Hua inquired.

”Yes,” Gu Changhuai nodded, his eyes flashed, and said, ”Escort them to the Taoist Court in Qingzhou City.”

Mo Hua understood.

The Gu Family was in Qingzhou City, most of the Taoist Court in Qingzhou City were from the Gu Family, so if the people were escorted there, usually no big problem would occur. .

But the Fifth Grade Taoist Court at the Qian Learning State Boundary was different, it was mixed with various families, many eyes and ears, surprisingly not very safe.

Gu Changhuai summoned people using a letter token.

After a while, people from the Gu Family followed Gu Changhuai’s orders and hired two carriages from the nearby Immortal City, driving over.

One carriage was used to detain these bandit cultivators.

Gu Changhuai and the others, including Mo Hua, sat in another carriage.

The group set off back, heading for Qingzhou City.

On the way, Gu An and Gu Quan were meditating, they were afflicted by Water Yama’s sinister evil qi pupil technique, not completely recovered, needing to adjust their breath.

Gu Changhuai sat quietly drinking tea, pondering something.

Mo Hua thought for a while, then quietly asked him:

”Uncle Gu, do you know about the Water Prison Sect?”

Gu Changhuai pondered briefly, shook his head, ”I haven’t heard of it before.”

Mo Hua frowned.

Uncle Gu hasn’t heard of it, but it shouldn’t be...

He had some impression, while learning the Water Prison Technique, there seemed to be related records in the spell secret manual.

But exactly how it was recorded, he couldn’t recall for a moment.

Gu Changhuai was also puzzled, asked Mo Hua:

”Why did Water Yama call you ’a remnant of the Water Prison Sect’? Are you colluding with this Water Prison Sect secretly? Or did you steal the spell from the Water Prison Sect?”

”How could I steal!” Mo Hua said with a righteous look, ”Uncle Gu, don’t randomly make rumors and slander my innocence! My spells are all properly learned from the sect!”
