The Quest for Immortality
Shen Shouxing saw the leader of the Demon Sect covered in Evil Dragon Patterns trying to push open the gate of the Divine Temple. His pupils trembled, and he angrily shouted:
"Demon Path creature, seeking death!"
He swung another sword, the blade as white as jade, the sword light as clear as white silk.
The black-robed elder continued to wield the ferocious horn bone, transforming it into a skeletal Blood Shadow to battle Shen Shouxing.
Xun Ziyou also struck with his sword but was blocked by the Bear Demon Cultivator.
Their eyes flashed with enmity upon meeting.
"Bear Pi beast, it’s you!"
"Taixu Sect Sword Cultivation Elder, you deserve to die!"
Xun Ziyou’s tone was chilling, "After searching high and low, today I shall make you, beast, die under my sword."
"Arrogant words," the Bear Demon Cultivator’s eyes turned blood red, "Today I shall devour your flesh and drink your blood, leaving you nowhere to rest in peace."
The two formed a grudge back in the Valley of Ten Thousand Demons.
Later, during the eradication of the Demon Sect, another fierce life-and-death struggle ensued.
At this moment, both bore intense hatred, thus engaging in a death battle upon contact.
Aside from this, Master Gu and Master Fan fought against the two tomb robbers, Mr. Hui and Stone. .
Young Master Xuan, on the other hand, faced two other Shen family Golden Core members alone.
The great battle was about to erupt, with blades and swords flying, Taoist and evil spells intertwining, causing chaos on the battlefield.
Mo Hua immediately hid far away.
This was indeed a fierce battle of Golden Core cultivators, with even some at the Golden Core Peak and late Golden Core stage risking everything, the aftermath was too strong for Mo Hua to endure.
For someone like him at the "fragile" Foundation Establishment stage, the chaos of a Golden Core battle was no joking matter.
It’s already good enough if he can protect himself, even watching the battle requires staying far away.
Fortunately, the Golden Core cultivators present only aimed to kill their enemies, not to harm the innocent.
So even as the Golden Core powers clashed intensively on the battlefield, Mo Hua remained unharmed for the moment.
Starting the battle, things were a bit stuck.
But as the battle went on, the situation became clear, with Shen Shouxing and Elder Xun apparently gaining the upper hand.
One was a Shen family elder at the Golden Core Peak, seemingly only a step away from Feather Transformation.
The other was a late Golden Core stage sword cultivation elder of Taixu Sect, whose Sword Intent was honed to perfection.
The Bear Demon Cultivator gradually couldn’t withstand Elder Xun’s Sword Intent.
As for the black-robed elder, though he wielded the evil horn skeleton, full of sinister and peculiar evil techniques, he was ultimately aged, his meridians in decline, unable to endure prolonged battles, gradually falling into a disadvantage against Shen Shouxing.
"Elder Xun can win?"
Mo Hua felt a slight joy in his heart.
Although the Shen family elder might not be a good person, they were certainly better than these demon heads.
Moreover, if the Shen family and Elder Xun won, capturing the Demon Sect leader, he might get to see the complete Green Dragon Formation Map on him.
His Lifebound Formation Map seemed to have a clue.
But just as Mo Hua was thinking this, Shen Qingsheng, who was tied up and thrown on the ground, seeing his father about to win, immediately showed great joy and shouted:
"Father, kill that old thing!"
Mo Hua’s heart jumped, this saboteur ruined everything...
Sure enough, as soon as he shouted "Father," the black-robed elder’s pupils shook, abandoning Shen Shouxing and with several flickers of his figure, retreated in front of Shen Qingsheng.
The withered, aged hand grabbed Shen Qingsheng’s neck.
"He is your father?"
Shen Qingsheng turned pale, not daring to speak.
The black-robed elder sneered, turning to Shen Shouxing and said, "Stop, or I’ll squeeze him to death."
Shen Shouxing frowned, cursing inwardly.
"Useless brat, incapable of achieving anything great but ruining it all!"
If he hadn’t shouted, these demon cultivators wouldn’t know their relationship and might not think of using his life to threaten.
Shen Qingsheng hadn’t figured out the crux, panic-stricken, he said, "Father, save me!"
Shen Shouxing could only stop.
When he stopped, naturally Xun Ziyou had to stop too.
He wanted to save Mo Hua.
But since Mo Hua didn’t make a sound, Xun Ziyou, being smart, pretended not to recognize Mo Hua.
In this situation, Fan Jin and Master Gu had no authority to speak and naturally wouldn’t expose anything.
The chaotic situation thus calmed down.
Though the tension remained high, both sides hesitated to act recklessly for the moment.
Shen Shouxing looked at the black-robed elder with icy eyes and said:
"Hand over the person."
The black-robed elder said, "You can have him..." He pointed at Xun Ziyou beside them, "First, kill this Taixu Sect elder."
Shen Shouxing’s gaze flickered, "Why must I kill him?"
The black-robed elder’s voice was cold:
"Taixu Sect has a blood feud with our sect, so many of our Demon Sect disciples died at the hands of Taixu Sect, thus anyone from Taixu Sect must suffer a thousand cuts to death!"
Behind him, as the junior brother of Taixu Sect, Mo Hua felt a chill in his heart, somewhat grateful.
Luckily he was clever enough not to reveal his identity.
He didn’t expect these demon cultivators to harbor such deep hatred towards Taixu Sect.
"Kill the Taixu Sect elder, and your son will be returned to you," the black-robed elder repeated.
Shen Shouxing sneered, "This isn’t my first time dealing with you demon path beasts, how could I trust your words?"
The black-robed elder began to squeeze Shen Qingsheng’s neck.
Shen Qingsheng’s face turned the color of pig liver, "Father..."
Shen Shouxing’s expression turned grim, "This condition won’t work, make another one."
The black-robed elder insisted, "Kill the Taixu Sect elder."
Shen Shouxing coldly laughed, "If I act against him, it will only be mutually destructive, then you can reap the benefits as a bystander, do you think I don’t understand this?"
Xun Ziyou calmly said, "Indeed, Elder Shen, if we join hands, we can first take down these beasts."
