Immortality Through Array Formations

Chapter 2539: Chapter 33: Pursuit (Part 2)

Mo Hua was also concealing himself, mingling within the crowd, and heading towards the northern gate to escape.

Passing the familiar warehouse at the northwest corner, Mo Hua couldn’t help but stop, casting his Divine Sense, he walked to the front of the warehouse.

In front of the warehouse, among the scattered corpses were a few short and plump bodies.

It was Manager Wang’s corpse.

He was already dead, lying in front of the warehouse, his chest ripped open, his innards devoured, Corpse Poison spreading as skin decayed, terror lingered on his face.

Mo Hua turned his head and saw the warehouse had been opened.

Inside the warehouse lay stacks of coffins.

The coffin lids were all lifted, and the zombies within had long since emerged.

It was then Mo Hua understood roughly how Manager Wang died.

Manager Wang was dissatisfied with the low Spirit Stone at the post house, so he engaged in shady dealings, transporting coffins to the warehouse and personally guarding them.

But he probably never expected these coffins were from Yin Corpse Valley, containing real zombies.

Even Mo Hua himself hadn’t expected that.

The "corpse storing" method of Yin Corpse Valley was indeed concealed, sealing Corpse Qi without leakage.

Furthermore, the warehouse itself had protective Formation, preventing others from prying.

Out of "courtesy", Mo Hua didn’t use Divine Sense to peek into the warehouse’s details, thus never realized the "goods" Manager Wang guarded were actually coffins and zombies.

After Yin Corpse Valley sealed the city, the corpse disaster erupted, Manager Wang, this "corpse guardian," naturally couldn’t be spared.

Mo Hua sighed slightly.

"Dead..."

Manager Wang, Elder Ji, both of them showed signs of death on their foreheads, and then died.

I advised them, but seemingly to no avail.

Perhaps this is fate, when it’s time for a person to die, they’ll find countless ways towards death.

Even foreseeing cause and effect, doesn’t change much...

Mo Hua sighed lightly, a hint of sorrow mixed with a sense of powerlessness, then stretched out his hand to close Manager Wang’s terrified eyes, his figure faded away, leaving the place.

Then Mo Hua no longer lingered, heading northwards all the way.

At the northern gate, Mo Hua looked up, seeing the gate in ruins, the city wall collapsing.

In the huge breach, cultivators from Little Post City began escaping the blockade of Yin Corpse Valley, fleeing into the darkened mountain forest.

And some corpse cultivators of Yin Corpse Valley were forming teams, massacring the escaping cultivators.

At the broken city walls, zombies kept piling up, forming a "corpse wall," continuing to block Little Post City.

And the escaping cultivators were engaging in the final fight with Yin Corpse Valley’s corpse cultivators.

The gleam of blades and swords flew, the light of spells flickered unceasingly.

Within the surging Corpse Qi, mixed sounds of humans’ roars, cries, screams, and various zombies’ snarls, sounds of flesh being gnawed, all blended together.

Seeing this, Mo Hua felt a sense of pity, thus began silently using Fireball Technique, spot killing corpse cultivators of Yin Corpse Valley.

But fearing the backlash of Evil Qi, he didn’t actually kill, just used Fireball to burn away the arms or legs of corpse cultivators.

Thereafter other cultivators would approach to finish off.

Meanwhile, Mo Hua used Divine Sense Control Ink, utilizing the cover of night, sketching Earthfire Compound Formation on the ground.

The thunderous earthfire exploded amidst the blazing light, shattering the newly constructed "corpse wall" by Yin Corpse Valley.

The cultivators of Little Post City, who were originally trapped in bitter battle, were elated:

"A master is helping us!"

"Thank you, senior!"

"The senior’s great kindness!"

"... Now’s the time, quick!"

Amidst the surging crowd, cultivators fled with all their might.

Some cultivators inevitably died under the claws of corpse cultivators and the gnawing of zombies, but more and more cultivators escaped Little Post City.

And corpse cultivators of Yin Corpse Valley had no way to deal with Mo Hua, who was concealed in the night like ghosts and specters.

Just at this moment, several strong auras arrived from afar.

"It’s the elders!"

"Elder Xu has arrived!"

The tortured corpse cultivators of Yin Corpse Valley shouted in high spirits.

The Yin Corpse Valley’s Golden Core consisted of four people, led by one with thick brows and a long beard, yellow eyes, exactly as referred to by disciples of Yin Corpse Valley as "Elder Xu."

Seeing the chaotic gate and the dilapidated "corpse wall," Elder Xu frowned immediately.

Then, with a sweep of his Divine Sense carrying decay, indeed among the darkness, he discovered a very elusive yet distinct Concealment aura.

"Wretched creature! Reveal yourself!"

Elder Xu waved his hand, the Evil Power of Golden Core congealed into a bronze-colored corpse hand, slapping towards a massive Mountain Stone outside the city wall.

The Mountain Stone shattered, dust and smoke rose.

And three feet away, indeed a figure of a youth appeared.

Night was like ink, obscuring the face, but from the slender and frail figure, it was apparent the youth was quite young.

Elder Xu’s gaze sharpened, his mind trembled slightly.

Is this the person Elder Fu instructed must be captured?

So young?

Mo Hua didn’t hide his trail, instead appearing openly and calmly looking at Elder Xu and others from the darkness.

Elder Xu frowned, "Boy, you’re merely Foundation Establishment, I do not wish to bully the small by the large. You need only bind your hands, follow me back to Yin Corpse Valley, and I will spare your life."

From the darkness came a disdainful laugh.

"Yin Corpse Valley? What is Yin Corpse Valley? Just a filthy and foul place, a big cemetery at best."

"As for the elders of Yin Corpse Valley, I see them as mere remnants of corpses in coffins, rotten mud in tombs, half-human half-corpse. Living is worse than dying..."

Such words were exceedingly arrogant, and this mouth was extremely venomous.

Not only Elder Xu, but other elders from Yin Corpse Valley, and all corpse cultivators present, were furious with reddened eyes.
