Immortality Through Array Formations - Chapter 983

Chapter 983: Chapter 645: Discerning Spirits Drawing Formation_4 Chapter 983: Chapter 645: Discerning Spirits Drawing Formation_4 This medicine powder is seldom used, but Mo Hua still carried some with him, just in case.

The Demon Hound couldn’t smell anything and barked furiously on the spot.

A Demon Cultivator asked in a deep voice, “What’s the matter?”

“Has the sniffing Demon Hound discovered something?”

A chilling Divine Sense spread out in all directions, sweeping over Mo Hua and the others before retracting.

“Nothing…”

“Is this dog in heat? Why is it still barking randomly?”

“Who fed it Pills that it shouldn’t have been given?”

After that, a howl from the Demon Hound followed, as if someone had kicked it.

“Damn beast, keep quiet if there’s nothing…”

“Wasting my damn time…”

A hoarse voice said, “Alright, continue the patrol…”

“How could anyone possibly get in here…”

“Damn it…”

Afterwards, the three Demon Cultivators led the dog away, gradually disappearing into the distance.

After confirming they were gone, Gu Changhuai frowned, “It’s not easy to get in…”

The patrol of the Demon Palace was too rigorous.

And those damn dogs, more vigilant than humans.

With guards every few steps, it’s simply impossible to approach.

Gu Quan–Mo Hua guessed he was Gu An–whispered, “Should we kill these patrolmen?”

Gu Changhuai’s gaze sharpened but he eventually shook his head.

“We can’t kill…”

“Neither people nor even that dog can be killed…”

Because if a fight broke out, causing Spiritual Power fluctuations that the Demon Cultivators could detect;
Or if the killing was not swift, allowing them to cry out and alert other Demon Cultivators;
Or if after the deed, the bodies were not hidden properly and left traces that other Demon Cultivators could find.

Then their movements would be exposed…

All four of them frowned.

Gu Changhuai sighed silently, “Let’s search the outer halls and try our luck, see if we can find any clues, or some secret mechanism that leads to the inner halls…”

“Right,” Mo Hua and the others nodded slightly.

Then the four of them climbed up from underneath the corridor.

But before they took many steps, Mo Hua’s expression changed, “Someone is coming…”

Gu Changhuai noticed as well, his face also darkening.

The group had no choice but to retreat to their previous position and hide under the corridor.

The three Demon Cultivators and the Demon Hound returned.

“There’s some noise here…”

“Quick, search everywhere…”

This time they searched even more thoroughly.

Several Divine Senses swept back and forth incessantly.

The dog’s nose sniffed desperately, as if trying to scrape the ground clean.

Mo Hua felt somewhat anxious.

After an unknown duration, the three Demon Cultivators finally ceased.

“Still nothing…”

“Misjudgement?”

“Is he messing with us? Treating us like dogs, so casually used for his amusement?”

“To hell with it…”

“If it weren’t for the fact that he is… sooner or later I’ll…”

“Shut up!”

A hoarse voice barked sharply, “Have you got a death wish?”

The other two mumbled and dared not speak.

“Just do your jobs!”

The Demon Cultivator warned sternly, then his tone softened slightly, “This hall is sealed and damp, you practice the Demon Skill, and it’s easy to become unstable…”

“It’ll be fine after some time.”

“Go outside and vent when you can…”

A gloomy laughter followed.

Then the three men slowly led the dog away again.

The group of Gu Changhuai did not rashly come out, remaining suspended in their hiding spot.

All was silent, and Gu An couldn’t help but speak lowly, “Taoist Demon beasts, if we weren’t afraid of alerting them, we should have slaughtered them…”

Gu Changhuai said calmly, “The main task is the priority.”

“Yes, young master.”

Only after they made sure those three men and the dog had gone far did the four of them come out, preparing to continue their search elsewhere, when Mo Hua suddenly stopped in his tracks.

“What’s wrong?” Gu Changhuai asked.

Mo Hua frowned, “Something’s not right…”

Gu Changhuai paused briefly, contemplative.

Mo Hua looked back, “Something’s off about this place…”

“The three men and the dog had already gone far away, why did they suddenly come back?”

“And from what they said, it seems that a ‘person’ told them there was noise here, and that’s why they returned…”

“How did this ‘person’ know there was noise?”

“Why was he able to detect the disturbance?”

As Mo Hua spoke, he thought hard and released his Divine Sense, carefully searching the surroundings. Suddenly, his eyes lit up, and he ran to a corner by the corridor.

Hidden in the corner was an extremely inconspicuous Formation.

Mo Hua didn’t recognize what Formation it was, but he could tell by his sensing that it was a Yuan Magnetic Formation he had never seen before…

“The Yuan Magnetic Formation…”

Mo Hua murmured.

Then he startled, closed his eyes to sense, and in the darkness, he seemed to feel a stream of “magnetic flow.”

This magnetic flow was extremely weak.

If not for his keen Divine Sense and daily encounters with the “magnetic flow” derived from Secondary Thunder Patterns, he wouldn’t have been able to detect it.

“Original Magnet sensing…”

Mo Hua suddenly realized, and looked up again, taking in the entire Demon Palace, and slowly a conjecture formed in his mind:
“This tightly-guarded Demon Palace seems to be under close ‘surveillance’ by a set of Yuan Magnetic Formations…”
