The Quest for Immortality

The door was completely shut.

Gu Changhuai and Supervisor Xia were heartbroken, Hua Qianqian shed tears, Ouyang Feng’s face was pale, while Xiao Tianquan frowned slightly.

Gu Changhuai’s mind raced and he quickly said, ”Hurry, figure out a way to open the door!”

But after circling the door a few times, they couldn’t find a way to open it at all.

This was the gate to the inner hall, used for sacrifice, with a special way to open it. Following the previous methods of Mr. Witch, it required sacrifices and some bizarre rituals.

They had no idea how to open it.

Moreover, even if they managed to open the door, after such a delay, Mo Hua might have already...

Fear gripped Gu Changhuai’s heart, along with deep regret and guilt.

If he had known, he would never have let Mo Hua go in alone. At the very least, he should have followed.

But everything happened so fast earlier, after a hard-fought battle, he was so exhausted that he hadn’t even had time to think, leading to negligence.

And it was this bit of negligence that led to a big mistake.

By now, it’s too late to regret...

Gu Changhuai said solemnly, ”First use the Fish Bone Token to get out, gather everyone nearby, break through this door at any cost, and rescue Mo Hua...”

Supervisor Xia also nodded solemnly, then frowned and asked, ”Should we inform the Taixu Gate?”

Gu Changhuai nodded but then his expression turned stern, shaking his head he said, ”We can’t tell Taixu Gate yet...”

Supervisor Xia was puzzled.

Gu Changhuai said solemnly, ”This is the Second Grade State Border, far water can’t quench near fire. If we can rescue Mo Hua, we are enough; if we can’t, by the time Taixu Gate’s people arrive, Mo Hua will already be...”

The White Bone Maze, boundless blood, the monstrous Mr. Witch, countless blood zombies, and deep within the altar, that unknown and dreadful aura...

By the time the people from Taixu Gate come, Mo Hua will surely be in grave danger.

Everyone understood this, and their hearts ached once more.

Gu Changhuai sighed and said, ”First think of a way to save him. If we can rescue him, everything will be fine; otherwise, we can only go to Taixu Gate ourselves, carrying thorns to ask for forgiveness...”

Supervisor Xia nodded, feeling even more regretful in his heart.

Thinking of how Mo Hua took the risk for everyone, and even in the last moment, knowing it was impossible, threw out the token to let them escape safely, while he himself...

Supervisor Xia’s heart was pricked with pain like needles.

At last, she looked at the door and sighed deeply:

”I hope this child Mo Hua has great blessings and can turn danger into safety...”

But the White Bone Maze was extremely dangerous, and how to turn danger into safety, she couldn’t even imagine...

...

White Bone Maze.

In a white, eerie corridor.

With a large physique, dragon scales all over, and resembling a ”yaksha,” Mr. Witch clutched Mo Hua with a bloody hand, walking step by step towards the depths of the maze. ɽἈ₦Ọ𝔟Ěś

The surrounding blood color grew more intense.

An increasingly strong scent, which clearly shouldn’t exist, slowly spread.

Mo Hua was held by Mr. Witch, looking left and right, sniffing with his nose, and then raised his head to ask:

”What’s happening here? The smell isn’t right?”

Mr. Witch’s eyelids twitched.

Does this kid understand his current situation?

He ignored Mo Hua.

Mo Hua asked again, ”Are you going to use me as a ’sacrifice’?”

Mr. Witch sneered, ”What do you think?”

Mo Hua just nodded silently.

It seemed to be the case, just as he guessed.

He remembered that Mr. Witch had mentioned before that the ”great enemy” of the Divine Lord would soon arrive, and they were the best ”living sacrifices,” a grand gift for the Divine Lord.

”Living sacrifices” must mean living offerings.

Before the sacrifice, this Mr. Witch shouldn’t kill him.

Moreover, he had set up so many formations earlier, effectively showing Mr. Witch his extraordinary talent in formations.

Strong formation talent meant strong Divine Sense.

With such abundant Divine Sense, if he were a henchman of the Great Wilderness Evil God, he would want to capture himself as a sacrifice to the Evil God.

How could Mr. Witch resist?

And this altar...

Judging from the current situation, with the backflow of blood and the White Bone Maze surrounding it, the ”altar” of the Evil God seemed to be hidden somewhere by this Mr. Witch.

He couldn’t find it for now.

Even if he did, the surroundings of the altar would probably be enveloped in blood filled with Evil Qi, and there might be other dangers and obstacles he can’t overcome.

For things he couldn’t do, he had to find someone to help.

Mr. Witch was just right.

Not only could he guide the way, but he could also be like a ”mule,” personally taking him there without him having to walk.

This Mr. Witch was still quite useful...

Mo Hua secretly glanced at Mr. Witch and curiously asked, ”How did you turn from a person into a monster?”

Mr. Witch frowned, ”Not a monster.”

”Then a yaksha?”

Mr. Witch was a bit surprised, ”How do you know?”

Mo Hua said, ”I saw you make a nest in the Yaksha Hall, and your appearance somewhat resembles the yaksha in the hall.”

Mr. Witch snorted coldly, ”You do have some wit.”

Mo Hua asked again, ”Then what about those scales on you? Where did they come from? Are they dragon scales? Why dragon scales? Do dragons really exist in this world? How do you have the dragon...”

Mr. Witch was really annoyed and yelled:

”Shut up!”

”Oh.” Mo Hua responded indifferently.

After walking for a while in silence, Mo Hua felt it was too quiet and muttered a bit discontentedly:

”Quite a temper, but earlier when captured, was all polite and begging for mercy all the time...”

Mr. Witch’s forehead twitched in anger, ”That was temporary endurance, just to catch you ignorant fools who dare to desecrate the Divine Lord, using your blood to sacrifice to the Divine Lord.”
