Immortality Through Array Formations - Chapter 863

Chapter 863: Chapter 609: Kneel Down Chapter 863: Chapter 609: Kneel Down Life in the Sect was uneventful, and eight days later, it was time again for the ten-day break.

Because Bishan City was somewhat distant and the round trip involved complications, Mo Hua asked for an additional day off.

With Elder Master Xun as her “backer,” the Sect Elders were all quite amenable.

Therefore, her request for the extra day off went through without a hitch.

Three days in total!

Mo Hua packed her luggage, slung her Storage Bag over her shoulder, and went off to find Senior Sister Murong in high spirits.

It was still Senior Sister Murong Caiyun who had taken on this mission, and Mo Hua was just along for the ride.

Knowing that Mo Hua was accumulating Merit Points to exchange for a Formation Diagram, Senior Sister Murong said, “This mission isn’t difficult, so including you, there are only three of us.

You’ll be able to get a good share of the Merit Points.” Mo Hua grinned and said, “Thank you, Senior Sister!” The two of us headed out toward Taixu Gate, with Mo Hua walking briskly, chatting sporadically along the way.

“Three people…” Mo Hua thought for a moment and asked, “Senior Sister, who else is coming?” Senior Sister Murong Caiyun said, “Senior Brother Feng from Tai’a Sect is also coming.” “Senior Brother Feng…” Mo Hua nodded.

Senior Brother Feng was gentle and courteous, with profound Cultivation—it seemed like he held a high position in the Tai’a Sect, and was one of the preselected Inner Sect Disciples.

He indeed was a “big thigh” to cling to.

“What about Senior Brother Xu and Sister Qianqian?” “Junior Brother Xu needs to heal from his injuries, and since the mission isn’t difficult and doesn’t offer much in the way of Merit Points, we decided not to bother him with it.” “As for Qianqian…” Senior Sister Murong paused and then said, “She’s quite busy, so let’s count her out this time…” “Oh, I see.” Mo Hua nodded.

Yet, Senior Sister Murong let out a little sigh.

Qianqian, that girl, was constantly urging her, saying she wanted to take on a mission with Mo Hua and had even prepared a “gift” for Mo Hua—all manner of girlish skirts, hairpins, rouge, and the like.

She said that by dressing up Mo Hua, he would look absolutely stunning, like a delicately carved piece of jade…

Worried that Hua Qianqian would get carried away, she did not call her this time.

But with Hua Qianqian pestering her so much, as she looked at Mo Hua, the image of him dressed in a splendid Taoist Robe with a hundred flowers surfaced unbidden in her mind, and she got lost in thought.

“Senior Sister?” Seeing her in a daze, Mo Hua was a bit puzzled.

Senior Sister Murong came back to her senses, her cheeks slightly red, and she coughed, “It’s getting late.

Let’s hurry…” “Oh…” Mo Hua eyed her with some suspicion but chose not to pry further.

Soon the two of us met with Ouyang Feng, garbed in his Tai’a Taoist Robe.

After hiring a carriage, we left the Qianxue State boundary and hurried toward Bishan City outside of the Qianxue State boundary on the wide mountain roads, flying like the wind.

The sound of horse hooves was quick outside the carriage, but it was quiet and comfortable inside.

Mo Hua sat by the window, lying on a soft blanket, absorbing the passing scenery while talking with Senior Sister Murong and Ouyang Feng.

“We are going to capture a disciple who betrayed our Sect…” Senior Sister Murong explained, “More than a decade ago, this disciple stole the legacy, murdered a fellow disciple, and fled the Sect.

He has been pursued for a long time without being caught…” “A decade ago, huh?” Mo Hua was somewhat surprised.

Senior Sister Murong nodded, “What he stole were some minor legacies, and the ‘fellow disciple’ he killed was actually just a menial worker, so the issue didn’t cause much of a stir.” “And that traitorous disciple has kept a very low profile since he fled the Sect, not showing any signs that might give him away.” “It seems the Taoist Court doesn’t really want to get involved either…” “Because there’s no profit in it?” Mo Hua said slyly.

Senior Sister Murong paused, somewhat helpless, and gave Mo Hua a slight sidelong glance: “One reason is the lack of clues, and the other is that the Taoist Court…

indeed has limited manpower, so the matter was put on hold for the time being.” “Oh.” Mo Hua “understood.” Ouyang Feng then said, “Later, when the Xie family’s storehouse in Bishan City was burgled, and while tracking the thief, he was cornered and resorted to using the Taoist Skill of the Sever Gold Sect, which is when he gave himself away…” “The Xie family from Bishan City demanded an explanation from the Sever Gold Sect…” “After checking the list of legacy thefts, and comparing it, they discovered that the thief was indeed the disciple who had betrayed the Sect a decade ago.” Mo Hua frowned, “Sever Gold Sect?” Senior Sister Murong said, “It’s one of the ‘Twelve Streams’ Sects in Qian Learning State Boundary, specialized in the Golden Series of the Sword Controlling Method…” Mo Hua nodded.

He seemed to recall hearing the name when Aunt Wan introduced him to the Twelve Sects of Qian State, but beyond that, he didn’t think there was any interaction.

However, upon hearing the three words “Sever Gold Sect,” Mo Hua had a vague sense that this Sect might somehow be tied to his own fate…

Mo Hua then asked in confusion, “Shouldn’t the Sever Gold Sect be the one to pursue their own traitorous disciple?” “They gave chase, but failed to catch him…” “Not caught up?” Senior Sister Murong nodded, “That traitorous disciple is very skilled in movement techniques…” Ouyang Feng also said, “Indeed, among the Taoist Skills he stole from the Sword Controlling Gate was a movement technique called ‘Escape Gold Technique,’ and he had mastered it quite well.

The disciples of the Sever Gold Sect couldn’t catch this traitor from their own Sect…” Ouyang Feng sounded somewhat wistful.

Legitimate disciples could not surpass this “legacy thief” who had betrayed them…

“The Xie family of Bishan City was dissatisfied, feeling that Sever Gold Sect was ‘letting the thief off’ and covertly protecting him, so they issued a separate reward for his capture.” “Still, the power of the Xie family in Bishan City wasn’t great, so the Merit Points offered as a reward weren’t much.” “Moreover, with Sever Gold Sect involved, they didn’t want their own Sect’s traitor to be caught by disciples of other Sects, nor would they want to grant Merit Points to anyone else…” Mo Hua muttered, “Sever Gold Sect…

is quite petty, huh…”
