Mo Hua pondered, "There should be some sort of ’secret passage’..."
From when he scared away the "young master" in the nightmare, to when he left the nightmare, helped Little Wood and the others "restore their souls," to breaking through the mural, entering the great hall, and finding the study room...
These matters altogether took about an hour.
In that hour, if the "young master" wanted to escape, he must have left a hidden passage.
This secret passage that could leave the Valley of Ten Thousand Demons and avoid the Golden Core cultivators, led by Elder Xun, who had already entered the valley...
It’s just that Mo Hua didn’t find this secret passage earlier.
"Secret passage..."
Xun Zixian’s gaze was stern. He unleashed his Divine Sense to sweep through again, suddenly noticing something, he walked to a wall on the right side of the study room with nothing on it, wielded Spiritual Power, letting a faint white crystalline light flash in his palm, then struck it with a slap.
But the wall didn’t even budge.
Xun Zixian’s expression changed, and immediately said, "Call people! Summon the other Late-stage Golden Core Elders as well!"
Xun Ziyou didn’t delay, immediately using Transmission.
Within a few minutes, a few more Taixu Sect Elders walked in.
Most of them Mo Hua knew.
There were also a few who looked unfamiliar to him, probably newly promoted elders.
These elders, however, all knew of Mo Hua.
After all, in the Taixu Sect’s hundreds of years, there were disciples that Ancestor Xun was biased towards, but none to the extent of Mo Hua.
A group of elders came in, all first silently glanced at Mo Hua, and then began to discuss with the two Elder Xun Zixian.
Xun Zixian said, "There’s a high-grade formation behind this wall."
Everyone was taken aback upon hearing this.
Mo Hua was also stunned.
Even Elder Xun, a Third Grade Formation Master, called it a "high-grade formation"...
An elder asked, "What grade?"
Xun Zixian shook his head, "It’s hard to say."
"What do we do now? Break the formation?"
"Can’t break it."
"Then... break the formation?"
"Can’t break it... This formation is very strong, and the disturbance would be too great. If forcibly broken, the outcome is unpredictable." Xun Zixian said.
