The Quest for Immortality

This smiling tiger, he’s hidden too deep!

Yu Canghai, the last surviving elder of the Water Prison Sect, didn’t even know the whereabouts of the sect’s protecting Taoist Skill, yet this smiling tiger not only got hold of it but secretly mastered it long ago.

Who could have thought...

As Mo Hua marveled, a sense of danger arose, prompting him to instinctively use the Water Passing Step and Concealment Technique to escape.

A streak of Gui Water Sword Qi struck where he originally stood, missing its mark.

Then, another Water Prison Technique descended, missing again.

Originally using a superior control technique and the Water Prison Skill to subdue Gu Changhuai and Canonical Official Xia, Supervisor Xiao, feeling proud, watched Mo Hua and suddenly grew inexplicably furious.

He could capture even a Golden Core, yet this little Foundation Establishment brat was slippery like a mudfish, evading even his fingertips.

Supervisor Xiao clicked his tongue.

”Never mind...”

He turned his hand over, flashed, and appeared in front of Ouyang Feng and Hua Qianqian.

Ouyang Feng and Hua Qianqian looked mildly angry, just about to act when Supervisor Xiao pointed a finger at each of them, inflicting Water Prison Strength on their shoulders, worsening their injuries instantly, leaving them unable to move.

Supervisor Xiao held the longsword horizontally before them, looking indifferently at Mo Hua.

Mo Hua felt helpless.

Uncle Gu and Canonical Official Xia were tricked by this smiling tiger, struck by the Water Prison Technique, temporarily subdued.

Senior Brother Feng and Senior Sister Qianqian were being used as threats by this smiling tiger.

Water Yama and Xie Liu were on the same side as the smiling tiger.

Xiao Tianquan stood by, watching with folded arms, unable to intervene anyway.

Counting it all, only Mo Hua was left on the scene.

Sensing the situation was unfavorable, Mo Hua sighed and immediately chose to surrender, saying to Supervisor Xiao:

”I admit defeat, just stop chasing me.”

Supervisor Xiao paused, then his gaze darkened, ”Young Master, you do know how to adapt to the situation.”

Mo Hua nodded, ”Those who adapt to the times are wise, and indeed, I am wise.”

Supervisor Xiao couldn’t help but laugh, shaking his head: ”What a pity, if it were not for differing paths and stands, I would genuinely like to be your Taoist Friend.”

Mo Hua waved his hand, ”We’ll see...”

He’s got plenty of friends, doesn’t lack this two-faced smiling tiger.

Supervisor Xiao was unconcerned, speaking directly: ”Young Master is a sensible person, so I won’t beat around the bush...”

A glint of sharp light flashed in his eyes, ”That box... where is it?”

At this point, Mo Hua no longer concealed anything and said:

”I’ve kept it in a secret place, I’ll tell you once we’re out of the Dragon King Temple.”

Mo Hua looked placid.

But Supervisor Xiao shook his head, ”Young Master, don’t take others for fools.”

Mo Hua looked puzzled, ”Who did I take for a fool?”

Supervisor Xiao’s face twitched slightly, he placed the longsword on Ouyang Feng’s shoulder, then glanced at Hua Qianqian, pondered a bit, and smiled:

”What a lovely girl, it would be a pity if she met a tragic end.”

Mo Hua understood Supervisor Xiao’s meaning, sighed, and said helplessly, ”Alright.”

Ouyang Feng, with blood in his mouth, smiled bitterly and said: ”Junior Brother Mo, don’t worry about me, I lack the skill, whether it’s life or death, I can’t blame anyone else...” ṙ𝔞𐌽ộ𐌱Εȿ

Hua Qianqian glanced at Mo Hua, her pale face resolute, and said:

”Junior Brother, you should run quickly...”

In her hand, she held a silver needle, intending to pierce her own heart if things became impossible.

Better to die and have it all over with than to suffer humiliation at the hands of these villains.

And she could not let them threaten Junior Brother Mo any longer.

Mo Hua couldn’t possibly ignore them.

If it were someone else, he might leave just like that.

But Senior Brother Feng and Senior Sister Qianqian were close friends, always looking out for him.

Returning a favor received, one must pay back in full.

That’s what his mother taught him from childhood.

Mo Hua nodded: ”The sect’s protecting treasure, the Water Prison Forbidden Box, indeed is with me!”

At these words, those who knew about it, and those who didn’t, were all shocked.

Supervisor Xiao had suspected it was with Mo Hua.

But even so, hearing Mo Hua admit it stirred his heart.

Water Yama and Xie Liu showed greed on their faces.

Even Xiao Tianquan’s eyes flashed with sharp light.

Gu Changhuai and Canonical Official Xia deeply understood what ”sect protecting treasure” and ”sect leader’s legacy” truly meant, and even under the control of the Water Prison Technique, their expressions were still of shock.

”I can give you the box...” Mo Hua said, ”but I have conditions.”

Suppressing his excitement, Supervisor Xiao nodded: ”Speak.”

”Release Senior Brother Feng and Senior Sister Qianqian, remove the Water Prison Strength from them, and cure the Gui Water Poison.” Mo Hua said.

Supervisor Xiao nodded, ”Alright.”

”And inside the Dragon King Temple, do not attack us anymore.” Mo Hua continued.

Supervisor Xiao nodded, ”Agreed.”

”You first do it, release my senior brother and sister, remove the strength, and cure the Gui Water Poison.” Mo Hua insisted, showing he wouldn’t act prematurely.

Supervisor Xiao frowned, ”You give me the box first...”

Mo Hua shook his head and confidently said: ”You’re a Golden Core, I’m just Foundation Establishment, I can’t defeat you, so you must first meet the conditions and do it before I give you the box.”

Supervisor Xiao pondered for a moment, finding the logic sound.

This kid, although clever and cunning, had all his skills focused on escape, his combat methods were negligible.

Even if he stood still for him to attack, he might not even harm him.

Given this, it would be best to give him some breathing room, not press too hard.

Besides, nothing mattered more than the Water Prison Forbidden Box.

As long as he got the Water Prison Forbidden Box, everything else was irrelevant.

Supervisor Xiao nodded, ”Alright.”
