Chapter 753: Dense Forest

This monster is a demon cultivator, and not an ordinary demon cultivator.

In addition to cultivating demonic skills and allowing its body to be "demonized", it also has mysterious four-elephant demon patterns painted on its body!

Mo Hua licked his lips gently.

Four-image formation!

This is a category of formations that is different from the Five Elements and Bagua formation systems.

Taixumen is not taught.

Even ordinary sects do not have the inheritance of the Four Elephant Formation, which is a quite rare formation.

"We have to catch this monster, peel off its skin, and copy the array pattern..."

Mo Hua's eyes brightened, and he pushed the water-passing step to the extreme. His footsteps were like wind, following the bloodstains on the ground, chasing the seriously injured demon cultivator.

The demon cultivator had a broken arm and half of his body was covered in blood. He crawled across the ground, leaving an obvious blood mark.

But it is a demon cultivator after all, and its physical body recovers quickly.

The blood marks on the ground were like springs at first, then gradually became like streams, and in the end only intermittent blood marks were left.

But no matter how faint the blood stains were, it couldn't hide Mo Hua's consciousness.

What's more, he still has calculations.

Guided by the line of cause and effect, it is almost impossible for this demon cultivator to escape.

After chasing a stick of incense like this, the blood on the ground was almost undetectable, and there was only a faint smell of blood in the air.

Mo Hua can only continue to pursue it based on the light red bloody causal line.

But after chasing for a while, the line of cause and effect suddenly broke.

Mo Hua frowned, looked up, and found that he had reached the depths of the mountain forest at some point.

The trees in front of us are densely packed and obscured by mist.

From front to back, left and right, it’s boundless as far as the eye can see.

At first glance, you have no idea where you are.

What's even more strange is that when the spiritual consciousness is released, everything seems to be normal, but only by careful analysis can one find that the spiritual consciousness can't "see" anything...

It was as if something had quietly absorbed Peep's consciousness.

It's also like the entire mountain forest has woven a layer of "fog" of spiritual consciousness, blocking the monks' spiritual perception.

The seriously injured monster disappeared into the forest, just like a fish swimming into the sea, and the evil tiger returned to the forest without a trace.

"Lost?"

Mo Hua's expression was slightly startled, and his brows furrowed more and more tightly.

With his divine consciousness and divine calculations, he has rarely lost track of anyone, let alone such a seriously injured monk...

This dense forest...

Mo Hua stood blankly, staring at the dense forest for a long time. The God of Hell thought hard, and suddenly realized something, and his pupils trembled.

What can isolate spiritual consciousness?

Such a large-scale isolation of spiritual consciousness must be a formation!

But general formations cannot actually "isolate" spiritual consciousness.

Most confidential formations take into account both sound insulation and spiritual isolation.

But this so-called formation that "isolates" spiritual consciousness, in principle, uses the formation to create chaotic spiritual power and form a "barrier" to "isolate" spiritual perception.

The underlying principle is confusion at the spiritual level, not isolation at the spiritual level.

When you peer into it with your spiritual consciousness, you can feel the obvious "barriers" that hinder it.

But there is no dense forest in front of me.

There is no obvious "barrier", but it can isolate the spiritual consciousness from prying eyes, making it difficult for people to see what's going on.

And this kind of formation that can truly "isolate" perception from the level of spiritual consciousness must, in principle, involve the use of some kind of spiritual power.

In other words, the formation in this dense forest is...

Shinto formation? !

Mo Hua took a slight breath of cold air.

it turns out……

Buy one get one free? !

He never imagined that in the mountains outside the Monster Refining Mountain that he was accustomed to, under his nose, there were two types of rare formations hidden quietly at the same time.

The four-image formation on the demon cultivator.

And, integrated with the dense forest in front of me...

Shinto formation!

Mo Hua let go of his spiritual consciousness and looked at it again, but as soon as his spiritual consciousness entered the deep forest, it was like mud entering the sea, without making any sound.

Even if it weren't for the powerful and qualitative change of his spiritual consciousness, his keen perception, and his subtle spiritual thoughts, he wouldn't have noticed that when his spiritual consciousness peered into this dense forest, he actually didn't "see" anything.

Divine consciousness "turns a blind eye"...

This dense forest exists in spiritual consciousness, but does not exist at the same time.

Mo Hua marveled in his heart.

What a clever trick.

What a powerful formation!

Mo Hua immediately wanted to step into the forest and study the Shinto formations in the dense forest, but as soon as he raised his feet, he hesitated.

"This dense forest is a bit dangerous..."

The demon cultivator was injured and wanted to run into the forest.

It means that this dense forest is probably its shelter.

Such a large dense forest and such a sophisticated divine formation must not be something ordinary monks can lay down.

Then there is a high probability that there are accomplices of demon cultivators deep in this dense forest.

Birds of a feather flock together.

People who can associate with demon cultivators, even if they are not demon cultivators, must be other ferocious demon cultivators.

In the realm of cultivation, at least foundation building and golden elixir are possible.

Now that I am alone, I am only in the middle stage of foundation building, and it is still a bit too dangerous to rashly enter the dense forest without anyone to protect me.

Mo Hua sighed.

He wandered in front of the dense forest for a long time, hesitating in his heart. After weighing it again and again, he could only give up temporarily.

"Pity……"

The Shinto formation is clearly right in front of us.

But under the current circumstances, he couldn't take risks rashly, so he had to go back first and then make long-term plans.

Anyway, the mountains and forests are here, so we won’t have any trouble running away.

Mo Hua looked back with nostalgia and glanced at the mountains and forests, as if he was looking at his own vegetable garden.

"Wait until everything is ready, then come back to pick vegetables!"

Mo Hua nodded, and then left reluctantly.

...

After Mo Hua left, Xun Ziyou looked at his back, estimated Mo Hua's movement trajectory, and after confirming that he would not be in danger in the short term, he walked towards the forest.

His first priority in the Demon Refining Mountain was to ensure Mo Hua's safety.

Other things were secondary.

Now that Mo Hua was safe, he would take some time to check on the demon cultivator.

The forest was misty, the trees were tall, primitive and desolate.

Xun Ziyou walked around the forest for a few times, released his spiritual sense, scanned a few times, but still found nothing, and frowned.

I am a late Jindan cultivator, chasing a late foundation building demon cultivator, how could I lose him?

I have indeed been a little slack over the years, but I would never be so lazy.

It is definitely not my problem.

Xun Ziyou was a little dissatisfied, so he turned his head and said to the right:

"You lost it too."

A shadow appeared on the right, and a man in Chongxu Taoist robes appeared. His face was a little embarrassed, but he said:

"I was watching Xiao'er, and I didn't pay much attention to other things."

"What?"

The elder of Chongxu Sect looked at Xun Ziyou and pretended to be indifferent, "You lost it?"

Xun Ziyou didn't bother to pay attention to him.

The two of them released their spiritual senses and searched the mountains and forests, and then frowned.

"It's really gone..." The elder of Chongxu Sect also became serious, with a puzzled look:

"What means did that demon cultivator have to hide from the spiritual sense of us two Jindan cultivators?"

"Hidden technique? Hidden spiritual weapon?"

Xun Ziyou shook his head.

The cultivation world is vast, and there are many types of skills, Taoist methods and spiritual weapons. It is difficult for him to determine for a while.

Logically speaking, with such a huge gap in realm and consciousness, even if there are some means of concealment or covering up the breath, it is impossible to hide from their perception.

Moreover, there is a more important question.

Xun Ziyou frowned and said:

"How could there be a demon cultivator in the Demon Refining Mountain?"

The elder of Chongxu Sect also looked solemn:

"There are formations to seal the mountain around, and there is a formation to monitor the demon aura at the mountain gate. Every disciple who enters the mountain has been patted with the evil spirit mirror. We elders will also patrol the mountain continuously..."

"There will only be disciples of the sect in this mountain. Apart from us, the Jindan elders who are patrolling, there can be no other cultivators."

"How could there be a demon cultivator?"

"How did it enter the mountain, how did it hide in this mountain, and what is its plan?"

Both of them looked a little solemn.

"Do you want to search the mountain?"

"If the noise is too loud, it will only make things worse, causing panic and trouble, and we may not be able to find it..."

After all, the demon cultivator disappeared under the eyes of the two Jindan cultivators.

"Watch it here for a while?"

Xun Ziyou shook his head: "We don't have that much time."

Their primary task is to protect Mo Hua and Linghu Xiao.

They both sighed.

The elder of Chongxu Sect looked at the forest in front of him again, and the more he looked, the more confused he became. He murmured in a low voice:

"What method was used to deceive your and my consciousness..."

Xun Ziyou also stared at the forest, frowning in confusion.

After looking for a while, Xun Ziyou was suddenly startled, his eyes solemn:

"Xuan Jian, you have been in this demon refining mountain for so long, have you ever seen this forest?"

The elder of Chongxu Sect was stunned, and looked at the forest in front of him again, and his brows slowly frowned.

"It does seem... a little strange..."

The demon refining mountain is very large, and there are many forests.

But as an elder, he has been stationed in the Demon Refining Mountain for a long time and has been to most places.

But the forest in front of him, although it looks like an ordinary forest, is similar to other forests, at most it is a little wider and you can't see the edge at a glance, but in comparison, the aura is indeed much more unfamiliar...

"You mean, it's not that the demon cultivator is good at hiding, but... there is something fishy about this forest?"

The elder of Chongxu Sect asked.

Xun Ziyou nodded slowly.

The elder of Chongxu Sect released his spiritual sense and scanned the area.

But although they are Jindan and have powerful spiritual sense, they have not undergone qualitative changes, their perception is not sharp enough, and they have not mastered the formation and have no experience in related formations.

After a sweep of the spiritual sense, the surrounding forests are still empty.

The elder of Chongxu Sect couldn't help asking: "What's the trick?"

Xun Ziyou shook his head.

He hasn't figured it out yet.

Xun Ziyou frowned and thought, and suddenly thought of the ink painting.

He remembered that Mo Hua had just stared at the forest for a long time, his eyes getting brighter and brighter, as if he had discovered something.

Then he stepped forward to enter the forest, but hesitated for a moment and did not enter. Before leaving, he turned back and looked at the strange forest meaningfully.

Xun Ziyou pondered carefully, somewhat unbelievable.

Mo Hua... couldn't he see anything?

"But how is it possible?"

The two of them, Jindan cultivators, couldn't see it, how could he, a foundation-building cultivator, see it?

Xun Ziyou frowned.

But if it was true...

If Mo Hua really saw something.

That means that the secret of this forest involves something that Mo Hua is very proficient in, but he is not good at.

That is... formation!

This dense forest was set up with a formation, so it was able to block the Jindan cultivator's spiritual sense without knowing it, and provide a hiding place for the demon cultivator?

What kind of formation?

Xun Ziyou looked at the ordinary forest in front of him. There was no trace of the formation, no clues at all, and he looked a little confused.

What kind of formation can this have?

How did you figure out the child in Mo Hua?

No matter what, he is also a golden elixir.

He who has lived for more than two hundred years cannot see it, but this child, who is less than twenty years old, can see it...

Xun Ziyou sighed deeply.

Geniuses just hate.

Especially the genius in formation.

The formation is too obscure and the water inside is too deep.

For some formation geniuses, you don’t even know what makes them so good, let alone how big the gap is between you and them...

The elder of Chongxu Sect on the side saw Xun Ziyou's expression change, sighed, frowned and asked:

"Do you know something?"

Xun Ziyou was startled, then came back to his senses. After thinking about it, he felt that these were just his own guesses, so it was better not to tell them out yet.

"No, I just lamented that we elders were negligent and allowed a demon cultivator to sneak in." Xunzi sighed.

Hearing this, the elder of Chongxu Sect also nodded.

Xun Ziyou said again: "This matter is weird. After reporting it to the sect, we will discuss a solution. Please don't press it for now, so as not to let the news leak..."

"That's fine." Elder Chongxu Sect nodded.

After the two discussed it, they were ready to leave.

But before leaving, Elder Chongxumen suddenly remembered something, felt a little palpitated, and asked:

"By the way, what's going on with that 'sword-riding' thing?"

Xun Ziyou pretended to be stupid and said, "What is 'sword control'?"

The elder of Chongxumen was not angry, "Don't pretend to be stupid for me. I saw it with my own eyes. The child didn't gather his sword energy even though he was a hundred to tens of feet away. His consciousness was shocked, and a spiritual sword hit him directly. It flew out with a golden light and exploded with a ball of sword energy, crushing the demon cultivator's demonized arm and staining half of his body with blood..."

That kid named Mo Hua is only in the middle stage of foundation building.

A sword at this level has such sharp techniques, such a long distance, such a fast speed, and such a powerful power...

Elder Chongxumen is still frightened when he thinks about it now.

Xun Ziyou looked "shocked" and shook his head:

"No way, how is it possible? You must have seen it wrong."

Elder Chongxumen was speechless, "How could I have seen it wrong?"

"I just misjudged it." Xun Ziyou said with a serious face, "That is not a sword, it is just a hidden weapon with a formation, and its power is actually average, but the demon cultivator was seriously injured and unable to resist. That’s why it was so miserable.”

The elder of Chongxu Sect was in disbelief, "A hidden weapon with a formation? Your nonsense needs to be reliable!"

Xun Ziyou asked back: "Then have you ever seen a swordsman in the middle stage of foundation building who can wield a sword of 160 feet and still be so powerful?"

The elder of Chongxu Sect hesitated, "This... is not..."

This kind of thing really goes against his common sense.

"Furthermore, sword-wielding..." Xun Ziyou said again, "Even your genius disciple from Chongxu Sect, who has a bright sword mind, hasn't learned to wield a sword yet. This kid Mo Hua is not a swordsman, how can he use it? Such a powerful sword?"

"That's right." Elder Chongxumen couldn't help but nod.

Apart from anything else, when it comes to swordsmanship talent, he dares to conclude that Linghuxiao is definitely the best in Chongxu Sect, and even among the best in the entire Qianxue State.

If Mo Hua really knew how to control a sword, and if he could control such a powerful sword, wouldn't he be even more talented than the kendo genius of Chongxu Sect?

This is impossible!

Elder Chongxumen gradually became convinced.

He was far away and couldn't see clearly. He just "felt" that Mo Hua seemed to be wielding a sword. Then he was far away and hit the demon cultivator. The sword energy overflowed and a cloud of blood mist exploded.

But now that I think about it, Yu Jian is obviously unreasonable.

It is only reasonable to control a certain type of spiritual weapon with a special formation and the shape of a hidden weapon.

The elder of Chongxu Sect nodded slightly.

Xun Ziyou next to him saw this and silently breathed a sigh of relief.

Finally got over it...

When Mo Hua does this kind of "conspicuous package" thing, he still has to talk nonsense and find reasons to round him up, so as not to attract unnecessary attention.

But fortunately, each thing this kid did was more "outrageous" than the last.

If you say it, others may not believe it.

On the contrary, it was my own nonsense excuse, which seemed much more "reliable".

Xun Ziyou sighed silently in his heart.

Not only to keep him safe, but also to make up excuses for him and make up his lies.

Is it easy for you?

"If there is a chance in the future, I will let this kid treat me to a drink..."

…

On the other side, Mo Hua, Linghu Xiao and others met.

"Run away and can't be found." Mo Hua sighed.

Several people felt a little regretful that they were so close to killing the demon cultivator.

"Let's go back first and see how Cheng Mo's injury is. As for the demon cultivator, since he's in the mountains, he won't be able to escape sooner or later."

If you dare to attack my junior brother from the Taixu Sect, you will skin him sooner or later!

Mo Hua said silently in his heart.

Everyone walked back, but on the way back, Linghu Xiao was obviously a little worried.

Behind him, he secretly looked at Mo Hua several times, and finally couldn't help but ask:

"Can you wield a sword?"

Mo Hua was a little surprised, nodded and said: "I know a little bit, but it's not an orthodox sword control. It mainly relies on the formations on the sword."

Linghu smiled and said "hmm" and said nothing more, but in his heart he regarded Mo Hua as an unfathomable "master".

"Sooner or later, I'll have a fight with him..."

Linghuxiao said firmly in his heart.

When they arrived at the foot of the Taixu Gate, everyone separated.

Linghu smiled and returned to Chongxumen.

Mo Hua and others returned to Taixu Gate.

When he arrived at the mountain gate, Situ Jian asked, "Senior brother, do you want to tell the elders at the gate about the demon cultivators?"

Mo Hua thought about it and felt that this matter was a bit strange. Others did not need to talk about it, but the elders in the sect had to inform it.

"Yeah." Mo Hua nodded.

Then he went to Elder Song, who was responsible for attendance and other disciple matters within the sect, and told him about meeting the demon cultivator at Demon Refining Mountain.

"Demon cultivator!"

When Elder Song heard this, his expression immediately became serious.

"Okay, I will inform the sect elders on duty at Demon Refining Mountain about this matter so that they can pay attention and ensure the safety of the disciples."

"The elder on duty at Demon Refining Mountain? Are you Elder Xunzi Youxun?" Mo Hua asked.

Elder Song was a little surprised, "Do you know him?"

Mo Hua shook his head, "We met him once, and I heard his name, but I don't count him as acquaintance."

Elder Song nodded, "Yes, if anything happens then, Elder Xun will ask you again."

Mo Hua nodded, "Yeah, okay."

After reporting to the sect, Mo Hua felt relieved and went to see Cheng Mo again.

Cheng Mo's injury improved a lot.

"We avenged you and cut off the monster's arm."

Mo Hua also showed the small section of his arm to Cheng Mo, and then put it away himself.

Cheng Mo's breath was a little weak, and he smiled bitterly and said, "Thank you, little senior brother."

Mo Hua saw that he looked a little depressed and said:

"That's a demon cultivator. It's very strong. The five of us worked together and only broke one of its arms and let it run away."

"You take good care of your injuries. Once your injuries are healed, let's go find the place together and chop the monster into pieces and peel off the skin!"

When Cheng Mo heard this, he perked up and nodded with a smile:

"good!"
