Having consumed a substantial amount of evil thoughts, it had quite a "nourishing" gain, benefiting greatly.
Now that the people were rescued and it could safely escape from the dangerous Demon Refining Diagram, it was truly a win-win situation.
No risks incurred, abundant rewards received!
The Sword Bone was quietly delighted.
Even the "Plague God" that was Mo Hua seemed endearing to it now.
The tall and skeletal Sword Bone promptly hoisted Ouyang Mu and the others, following Mo Hua along the original path out of the valley, past the White Bone Path, along the Divine Chains, and back to the Blood Pool.
Peace reigned along the way.
The Sword Bone finally felt at ease.
It had finally "come home"...
But just as it set down Linghu Xiao and the others, Mo Hua said, "You come with me for another trip back."
"Back?"
The Sword Bone was stunned.
"Aren’t the people already rescued? What are we going back for?"
Mo Hua gave it a faint look, "Getting them out was just the beginning of the real business..."
"The rightful affairs" hadn’t been done yet.
Real business...
The Sword Bone was left momentarily confused.
This little ancestor, what exactly does he intend to do?
The Sword Bone wanted to ask but didn’t dare, wanted to refuse but didn’t have the courage, not wanting to appear "impolite," and could only hang its head and say:
"Yes."
Little Wood and the others remained unconscious.
Mo Hua confirmed that their Divine Soul had no other issues and temporarily left them in the Blood Pool, drawing Formation Patterns of the Divine Way around them.
These Divine Formation Patterns were both to "seal" and to "protect" them.
Once everything was ready, Mo Hua again followed the Divine Chains back into the Demon Refining Diagram.
The Sword Bone hesitated for a moment, but could only grit its teeth and follow.
Inside the Demon Refining Diagram, the scenery remained the same.
But this time, Mo Hua, having no worries, had much more freedom of action.
