The Quest for Immortality

”This damn kid, truly cunning!”

With the Peeping Mirror failing and the Revealing Dust blown away, all their tactics against Mo Hua were rendered useless.

The Longding Sect originally thought they had shown enough ”respect” towards Mo Hua.

They brought along spiritual artifacts and used Revealing Dust. .

But now it seemed this kind of ”respect” was still too superficial, lacking sincerity.

And during this time, Linghu Xiao and the other three charged over.

Unable to find Mo Hua, the five from Longding Sect could only clash with Linghu Xiao’s group.

Fortunately, they were still strong, not inferior to Taixu Gate in direct combat, and they were fighting five against four.

But as they fought, fireballs began flying out from the small woods.

Mo Hua also revealed himself, using spells to support his companions.

”Kill him!”

The leading disciple of Longding Sect immediately pointed at Mo Hua and shouted coldly.

Two disciples of Longding Sect instantly dashed forward, roaring like tigers and dragons, activating their movement technique, and rushed into the woods. But looking around, the forest was deep and dark, and Mo Hua’s shadow was nowhere to be seen.

They could only retreat again.

But just as they retreated, Mo Hua revealed himself again, flicked his fingers, and hurled fireball techniques and water prison techniques at them...

The two disciples of Longding Sect, enraged beyond measure, charged back into the woods against the spells.

As soon as they rushed in, Mo Hua vanished again.

When they retreated, Mo Hua showed up again, casting more spells at them.

The five people from Longding Sect were furious to the point of exploding.

The spectators outside were also boiling with blood, their heads buzzing.

Too despicable!

Truly too despicable!

All these years and through so many Sword Discussion Conferences, they had never seen a disciple so shameless and cunning.

After all, it was the Sword Discussion Conference, with so many people watching.

If he was shameless, could the sect behind him also be shameless?

Constantly using low-level spells to disgust people, is it really that fun?

But Mo Hua really found it... endlessly amusing.

When the enemy came, he ran; when they chased him down, he concealed himself; when they retreated, he cast spells from afar.

Moreover, in this back and forth, he tangled up two disciples of the Longding Sect.

The remaining three were being suppressed by Linghu Xiao’s group of four, already hit by many strikes of Chongxu Sword Qi.

Mo Hua also disrupted the Longding Sect’s formation.

The disciples of Longding Sect realized this couldn’t go on:

”Ignore Mo Hua, kill Linghu Xiao first.”

This was the only way left.

The other two disciples of Longding Sect received the order, left Mo Hua, and came back to support, all five attacking Linghu Xiao’s group of four together.

For a moment, dragon energy surged, cauldron sounds roared, sword qi swept over, cutting through gold and jade.

No one cared about Mo Hua anymore, which made Mo Hua even happier.

He began standing at the edge of the small woods, releasing his divine sense, overseeing the entire scene and casting spells without any concern.

Mainly fireball techniques, mixed with Golden Sound Skill, Golden Flash Skill, Water Prison Technique, Wooden Binding Skill, Quicksand Skill... and other low-power but very annoying small Five Elements Skills.

The disciples of Longding Sect were miserable.

In the past, these heavenly pride disciples would not even glance at such low-level Five Elements Skills.

In their eyes, only the powerful superior Taoist magic mattered.

Using such insignificant small spells would only invite ridicule.

But now, they were repeatedly tormented and humiliated by these low-level small spells, looking pathetic and ridiculous.

At the dignified Sword Discussion Conference, under the watchful eyes of various sects, aristocratic families, and cultivators from all over the Nine State, being ”humiliated” by insignificant low-end Five Elements Spells...

The disciples of Longding Sect finally understood why so many sects and disciples hated Mo Hua with a passion.

The sword discussion continued.

The cultivators from both sides were still in a chaotic battle.

Sword qi, spells flew everywhere, fists and kicks clashed fiercely.

But a battlefield where Mo Hua was free to act wouldn’t lead to a good result. Gradually, Longding Sect started to struggle.

Their average strength was strong, but the problem was, they didn’t have someone like Linghu Xiao, a true ”heavenly pride”.

Often, when the situation was stalemated, it required a ”heavenly pride” to break the deadlock and save the day.

That’s why heavenly pride would be praised and expected by everyone.

Without a heavenly pride to break the deadlock, the situation would only worsen.

Plus, after the battle with Shi Tiangang of Vajra Sect.

Linghu Xiao was honed, and his sword qi became even stronger.

Ouyang Xuan and the others gained experience in dealing with ”powerful body cultivators”.

Mo Hua’s spells became more proficient, more tricky, and more insidious.

Therefore, Longding Sect could only retreat gradually.

And yet, this wasn’t even the most frustrating part. The most frustrating was that Longding Sect gradually realized that from the very beginning, there was no possibility of ”winning” this sword discussion.

Because this was an ”assassination” match.

Mo Hua was the ”leader”.

This leader could become invisible and no one could see through his invisibility.

Which meant he was naturally in an unbeatable position.

Even if they could kill all four of Linghu Xiao’s group, it would be useless.

As long as Mo Hua found a place to squat, activated his concealment, no one could find him.

If they couldn’t find him, they couldn’t kill him, and couldn’t decapitate the leader.

This battle was a ”death trap” from the start, completely unwinnable!

Thinking of this, the disciples of Longding Sect felt a chill in their hearts.

An unwinnable battle, how could they continue playing?

Even if they fought with all their might, at most they could only manage a ”draw”, but Taixu Gate would definitely not agree.

Moreover, if Mo Hua, the ”leader” on the opposite side, sensed trouble, he could conceal himself and evade all harm.

But Longding Sect couldn’t do that.

Their leader couldn’t ”conceal”.

Not only couldn’t he ”conceal”, but he would always be exposed to the attacks of Taixu Gate, always subject to Linghu Xiao’s sword qi slashes.

A trace of despair spread in their hearts, deepening.

But this was the Sword Discussion Conference, and they were the disciples of the Four Great Sects. Despite the unfavorable situation, they were unwilling to give up.

In the subsequent battles, the disciples of Longding Sect searched for other means to try and break this deadlock.

The main thing was to think of ways to lure out Mo Hua and kill him.

Mo Hua was too frail, with too little room for error.

If he was even slightly careless, revealed even the slightest flaw, any one of the five from Longding Sect could kill him with a single punch.

But Mo Hua’s divine sense was too strong and he was too clever. As soon as there was any sign of danger, he would immediately conceal himself and slip into the grove.

No one knew where he was ”hiding”.

The spectators outside did know.

They wished they could break the fifth-grade formation, fly into the Sword Discussion arena, and personally tell the disciples of Longding Sect Mo Hua’s location.

Tell them that Mo Hua hadn’t gone far at all!

He was just invisible, sitting on a tree, watching them and laughing.

But unfortunately, they couldn’t do that.

And so, the situation worsened step by step.

In the end, one of the heavenly pride disciples of the dignified Longding Sect, one of the Four Great Sects, was genuinely disgusted by Mo Hua’s concealment technique and was thereby defeated.

Everyone felt something odd in their hearts.

They all realized that Mo Hua’s concealment technique seemed a bit unusual...

This was an invisibility that couldn’t be ”seen through”.

This also meant Mo Hua would be an ”invisible” spiritual cultivator...

How could you kill an invisible spiritual cultivator?
