Then he turned and ran towards the distance without looking back.
He ran, running until he reached the tunnel before the subterranean palace, only then did Mo Hua breathe a sigh of relief.
This was the path they had taken; it was also the only way out.
Mo Hua immediately dove into the tunnel, and it seemed no corpse fiends were chasing behind.
Turning back to look, he saw the corpse fiends like water, but most gathered around the flesh corpse image, fewer the further out they went.
By the edge of the tunnel, only a few remained.
The copper coffin and the corpse image were of the same root, the corpse image could not leave the copper coffin.
And this group of hatched corpse fiends, with their immense flesh corpse image, were like a "mother-child bond", unable to stray far from the corpse image.
Mo Hua breathed a slight sigh of relief.
"Little brother."
Someone called him, and Mo Hua turned to find it was Mr. Hui.
Besides Mr. Hui, there were Stone, and a few black-robed cultivators, all gathered in the tunnel.
These people were Golden Core, stronger than Mo Hua, and could run fast when facing danger, thus also evading the corpse tide.
However, at this moment, everyone seemed weak, clearly exhausted from the fight with the flesh corpse image and the life-or-death escape.
Mr. Hui looked Mo Hua up and down, asking, "Little brother... are you alright?"
Relief and luck of surviving the ordeal showed on Mo Hua’s face as he nodded and said, "I was fortunate, I made it out."
Mr. Hui also sighed in relief, a gleam in his eyes: "Good that you’re okay."
Mo Hua then walked into the tunnel; after just a few steps, suddenly a heavy, silent voice sounded:
"Where’s Mouse?"
"Mouse?" Mr. Hui was slightly stunned, then took a moment to look around, indeed finding Mouse absent from the group.
It was Stone who asked the question.
Stone furrowed his brows, then looked at Mo Hua, saying:
"When we were fleeing, I saw Mouse escaping with you; there’s no reason you made it out, but he didn’t. Where’s Mouse?"
In Mr. Hui’s group, although Mr. Pi was in Foundation Establishment, he held a special status.
Mr. Hui was the leader, and Stone and Mouse had the best relationship.
Therefore, only he cared about Mouse at this point.
Mo Hua shook his head, "I was focused on escaping, I don’t know about anything else..."
Stone cast a doubtful look at Mo Hua, but after reflecting, found it improbable.
A Foundation Establishment, trying to harm a Golden Core, was unlikely.
Just then, a set of heavy footsteps echoed from the tunnel mouth.
Mo Hua’s heart trembled slightly, as he looked back, he saw Mouse, covered in blood, hanging with rotting flesh, full of bite marks, trudging step by step.
His face seethed with venom, eyes veined with blood-red, stared fixedly at Mo Hua, uttering:
"Brat, you... got me killed..."
