Mo Hua released his Divine Sense, saw that there were no people around, and then quietly entered, whispering to Instructor Yan:
"Instructor Yan, I will help you escape tonight. You should start packing."
Instructor Yan was intently reading his book when suddenly a whisper echoed from the dark corner, startling him.
Once he recognized whose voice it was, he was surprised but didn't speak; instead, he remained calm and nodded.
Afterward, Instructor Yan began to get up and quietly gathered his Formation Books and Formation Diagrams.
While Mo Hua took advantage of this time to dismantle the defensive formations of the Corpse Walking Stronghold.
Mo Hua dismantled them quickly.
Because he did not need to conceal traces nor worry about damage to the Formations, Mo Hua's strokes were assertive and rough.
By dawn, when the great battle began, these Formations would all be destroyed.
Thus, Mo Hua had no need to be polite.
Whatever was convenient to dismantle, he dismantled a bit.
For the more complex ones, which he was too lazy to dismantle, he drew some Reversed Spirit Formations.
Once these Formations were activated, they would self-destruct due to the aberrant flow of Spiritual Power and chaotic Formation Patterns.
However, this kind of destruction was minor and nowhere near the extent of Formation Collapse.
Mo Hua's intention was also just to destroy the Formations,
not to use them to injure the corpse cultivators of the Corpse Walking Stronghold.
He did not have the leisure for that now.
In the vast Corpse Walking Stronghold, Mo Hua, familiar with the paths, darted back and forth.
Climbing walls, scaling rooftops, balancing on rafters, or wriggling through caves…
He either dismantled or destroyed each Formation within the stronghold one by one.
This route had also been planned by Mo Hua in advance, and he had simulated it several times in his mind.
He aimed to invalidate as many Formations as possible in the shortest amount of time.
After two or three hours, the Formations inside the Corpse Walking Stronghold had been almost entirely sabotaged by Mo Hua.
Feeling a bit tired, Mo Hua rested for a while, thought it over, and made another trip to Zhang Quan's secret chamber.
Zhang Quan was resting in meditation.
His Corpse Controlling Bell was placed inside his Storage Bag, which was attached to his waist.
Mo Hua had been observing him for many days; Zhang Quan never parted with his bell or his bag.
The Corpse Controlling Bell, he always carried with him in the Storage Bag and it had never been taken out.
Unless he was caught off guard, it was impossible to get the Storage Bag or steal the Corpse Controlling Bell.
And since Mo Hua only had Qi Refinement, facing off directly, he definitely was no match for Zhang Quan.
He did not possess the innate talent or Cultivation level of his Junior Brother and Sister.
Even with a sneak attack, he would not be able to knock out Zhang Quan.
Mo Hua felt somewhat regretful.
It looked like his guess had been correct; under normal circumstances, stealing the Corpse Controlling Bell was impossible.
Zhang Quan was no fool; he wouldn't give Mo Hua that chance.
Mo Hua then made another trip to the Corpse Hiding Cave.
The Corpse Hiding Cave was used by the Corpse Walking Stronghold for refining and cultivating Zombies.
The coffins of several Iron Corpses were placed in the deepest part of the Corpse Hiding Cave.
Mo Hua glanced over and saw several corpse cultivators guarding overnight, and nearby were Early Warning Formations, making it impossible to approach.
These Iron Corpses were previously unguarded.
It seemed that having suffered a loss, Zhang Quan had learned his lesson and did not dare to be negligent in the slightest.
"Now, this is troublesome..."
Mo Hua frowned slightly.
He couldn't steal the bell, and he couldn't lay a hand on the Iron Corpse.
If they really started fighting, they would surely be at a disadvantage.
After thinking for a moment, Mo Hua shook his head slightly.
It seemed that for the time being, he couldn't solve the problem on his own.
So, Mo Hua stood up and left the Corpse Walking Stronghold first.
Outside the stronghold, he met with Situ Fang and reported truthfully:
"I've broken the formation, but I couldn't steal the Corpse Controlling Bell, nor could I get close to the Iron Corpse."
