The Quest for Immortality

”Dare to cause trouble on the Rouge Boat, you have a lot of nerve...”

This Golden Core Cultivator looked indifferent, with a cold tone.

The room instantly fell silent, and the atmosphere was somewhat heavy.

Even Water Yama and Hua Ruyu stopped and cupped their hands in salute.

”Elder.”

Gui Water Sect Elder?

Mo Hua’s heart skipped a beat.

This Golden Core Cultivator was stern-faced, dressed in a water-blue Taoist Robe, with hidden water power and threads of sharp Sword Qi surrounding him.

At this moment, his expression was solemn as he stood with hands behind his back, fully embodying the demeanor of a master.

It seems he has indeed learned the Swordsmanship of Gui Water Sect and gained the inheritance of the Gui Water Sword from an Elder...

”Trouble...”

Mo Hua frowned.

The Golden Core Elder’s gaze wandered over the few people in the room, landing on Ouyang Feng who was injured but still steady-faced, then on Hua Qianqian who, despite being scared, had a stubborn look in her eyes, and finally setting on Mo Hua, momentarily dazed.

Then he broke his composure.

His face filled with shock, his previous calm demeanor gone, he pointed at Mo Hua with trembling fingers, exasperatedly exclaiming:

”It’s you?!”

Everyone present was a bit stunned.

Mo Hua was too.

”Why is it me again?”

He frowned and took a closer look at this Golden Core. Only then did he realize with surprise that he also knew this Golden Core!

Xie Liu from the Gui Water Sect!

That Golden Core Sword Cultivator.

Back then, he caught a thief with Crossing River Dragon and went into a small teahouse, capturing evidence against Jin Yicai, only to be discovered by Xie Liu at the Golden Core Realm.

Xie Liu wanted to kill him but was subdued by Uncle Gu.

Because his Swordsmanship seemed rather poor, utterly no match for Uncle Gu, and was quickly dealt with.

So Mo Hua didn’t have a deep impression of him—didn’t recognize him at first sight.

Mo Hua silently sighed in relief.

”I thought it was another Golden Core from Gui Water Sect. Turns out it was Uncle Gu’s defeated opponent, acting like a master, made me tense for nothing...”

Mo Hua felt slightly more at ease.

But Xie Liu at the Golden Core Realm could no longer stay calm. Pointing at Mo Hua with a face full of killing intent, he snarled:

”You little brat, I remember you! You’re a disciple of Taixu Gate, a little dog of the Taoist Court, Gu Changhuai’s little follower. Were it not for you using yourself as bait, cunningly trapping, I wouldn’t have fallen into Gu Changhuai’s trap, ending up in such a state!”

”Now, I’ve been expelled from Gui Water Sect, working in secret, doing dirty deeds that can’t see the light of day—I owe it all to you and that Gu!”

As these words fell, the other people in the room showed a change in their expressions.

A dog of the Taoist Court, Gu Changhuai’s follower?

This little brat actually had these identities?

If he was on this ship, does it not mean...

Hua Ruyu and Water Yama exchanged glances, their faces turning slightly pale.

Ouyang Feng and Hua Qianqian were also a bit shocked.

Within this short period, Mo Hua’s identity had changed several times, once a remnant of the Water Prison Sect, then a dog of the Taoist Court.

Why did he have so many identities...

Mo Hua felt somewhat vexed.

It’s over; his ”alias” is almost entirely exposed.

He never thought that on this Rouge Boat, there would be so many acquaintances that happened to be gathered here.

Right now, Xie Liu had already drawn his sword, pointing at Mo Hua and shouting:

”Seize this little brat!”

Water Yama and Hua Ruyu now deeply realized the severity of the situation.

Mo Hua’s identity wasn’t simple at all.

Tai Xu Sect origin, Gu family follower, dog of the Taoist Court—a person like this on the Rouge Boat meant the ship was in deep trouble!

Water Yama’s eyes turned red as he swung the Water Punishment Whip, charging at Mo Hua.

Hua Ruyu’s pretty face was fierce as she activated the Hundred Flowers Spirit Array, striking directly at Mo Hua’s heart veins.

Xie Liu also unleashed Gui Water Sword Qi, piercing towards Mo Hua’s Heavenly Gate.

Once the fight commenced, Mo Hua immediately felt immense pressure.

Two Foundation Establishment Peaks, one Golden Core joined forces—even if this Golden Core could only exert Foundation Establishment Peak strength, it was completely beyond what someone his age and his cultivation level could bear.

No matter how poor Xie Liu was, he still appeared weak only in the Third-Grade State Boundary in the face of Uncle Gu who could fully exert his Golden Core strength.

To him, Xie Liu remained a powerful Golden Core.

For him, the type of Spiritual Cultivator skilled in Concealment Technique and movement techniques could still maneuver a bit.

But Senior Brother Feng and Senior Sister Qianqian, they were Serious Cultivators.

Without Concealment Technique, unable to hide, and although their movement techniques weren’t bad, they were at a disadvantage in front of Xie Liu and the others. It is estimated they wouldn’t last more than ten rounds before being captured.

No way!

Mo Hua, being pursued awkwardly by Xie Liu and the three, finally caught his breath and immediately shouted:

”Stop!”

Xie Liu and the three paused slightly.

Mo Hua said with a serious expression: ”I advise you, it’s better to be moderate; let’s just give some face to each other. Don’t force me to go all out; otherwise, you’ll regret it!”

Xie Liu and the three were stunned, then laughed at Mo Hua’s words.

”You think you can make us regret it?” Hua Ruyu sneered.

Water Yama gave a sinister chuckle, ”Overestimating yourself.”

Even Xie Liu showed a cat-catches-mouse playful expression, snickering: ”Fine, let me see how you make us regret it?”

Mo Hua glanced at the seriously injured Ouyang Feng, then at Hua Qianqian whose pretty face was pale, realizing they nearly reached a desperate situation.

If the fight continued, in no time, Senior Brother Feng and Senior Sister Qianqian would surely fall into Xie Liu and the group’s hands.

And he was constrained, unable to use many techniques.

Although the timing wasn’t great, and Uncle Gu plus the Taoist Court’s personnel whereabouts were unknown, when it came to this, he could only flip the table first then seek a way out.
