694: Blood Bridge_3 694: Blood Bridge_3 Mo Hua had acquired three more Divine Way Formation Patterns.
There were traces of Sword Qi, two spots, but these marks had been weathered by years, and the Sword Intent had almost completely dissipated, offering no inspiration for his “Divine Thought into Sword” technique.
Mo Hua felt some regret.
It seems that he had no choice but to visit the village beyond next.
Mo Hua memorized these new Divine Way Formation Patterns and then prepared to set off.
First, he needed to arrange for personnel.
There were nine people in the black-robed group; two had died, leaving seven.
Of these seven, Mo Hua chose two middle-stage Foundation Building black-robed men to be the “sacrificial offerings” in place of Yu Dahe’s two sons.
Master She would lead the way.
The remaining four, including Crossing River Dragon and that chief black-robed man, required some guards remaining on watch.
Since their Qi Seas had been disabled, they couldn’t stir up much trouble.
However, to be on the safe side, Mo Hua still left six people behind.
The remaining four Gu Family cultivators accompanied Mo Hua to the village beyond.
Since it was a “replacement” of sacrificial offerings, the two unconscious children also had to be brought along, so Yu Dahe followed as well.
Mo Hua cautioned Yu Dahe, “You don’t have to worry about anything, just protect your two sons well.”
Yu Dahe felt grateful in his heart.
He had never expected that this young master, a stranger he had met by chance and known only briefly, would go to such great lengths to save his two children.
“Rest assured, young master, I will follow your lead,” Yu Dahe said earnestly.
Mo Hua nodded.
After the personnel had been arranged, the group set off.
Gu Quan was pushing Master She, Gu An was protecting Mo Hua, the tall-bodied Yu Dahe was carrying the two children, and the remaining four Gu Family Cultivators were escorting the two black-robed human traffickers being used as “sacrificial offerings,” embarking on the road to the village beyond.
Along the way, the sky was overcast, surrounded by dilapidated fishermen’s huts, exuding deathly stillness and oppression.
They walked for about 30 minutes, and the surroundings gradually became desolate, with no fishermen’s huts in sight, only a stone arch bridge ahead.
The arch bridge was simple and ancient in style.
Across the bridge was an even denser mist of blood.
Master She said to Mo Hua, “I need to unseal it before I can cross the bridge.”
Mo Hua recalled the Formation Patterns Crossing River Dragon had drawn at the mouth of the well and nodded, “Okay.”
Gu An removed the Spirit-binding Lock from Master She’s hand.
Master She flexed his wrist and walked to the bridge, felt his waist and found it empty, then remembered that his Storage Bag had been confiscated and said:
“I need human blood.”
Master She’s Storage Bag was in Gu An’s possession because it contained various materials and Pill Recipes for alchemy of the Evil Path, so it never passed through Mo Hua’s hands.
Gu An rummaged through Master She’s Storage Bag, took out a white bottle, and tossed it to Master She.
Master She caught it, dipped his finger in the blood, and began to draw the unsealing Formation Patterns on the stone bricks in front of the bridge.
Mo Hua leaned over, watching from the side.
Master She, halfway through drawing, looked up to see Mo Hua watching intently with a serious demeanor and snidely remarked:
“What? Does the young master also understand Formations?”
Mo Hua hummed, “Naturally, among my fellow disciples, if I say I’m second in Formation expertise, no one dares to claim they’re first.”
Master She did not avoid Mo Hua, but openly displayed the Formation Patterns he had drawn for Mo Hua to see, smilingly asked:
“Then, does the young master know, what kind of Formation is this?”
After looking for a moment, Mo Hua hesitantly said:
“What else could it be, but… a Formation for unsealing from among the Five Elements, the Eight Trigrams.”
Master She thus knew that this young master was a blowhard.
Pretending to know without really understanding, and also fond of boasting.
Master She internally sneered, feeling completely unencumbered, and finished drawing the complete Formation Patterns.
As he drew, Mo Hua silently memorized them in his heart.
After he finished, Mo Hua casually added:
“I thought it was some profound Formation, turns out it’s quite ordinary. Honestly, I’ve also studied this Formation, but it’s not as good as the ones passed down in my family, so I don’t fancy learning it…”
Master She cursed inwardly:
Stupid child, clueless, all talk with no understanding, completely unaware of the brilliance of the Formation…
Master She sneered coldly.
