The Quest for Immortality

Under the Water Prison Technique, Hidden elder-second couldn't move for a moment, feeling dizzy and sick as if drowning.

"Binding Spell..."

Hidden elder-second felt his heart go cold.

As expected, this detestable little brat still had something up his sleeve...

With this strange Binding Spell, from the very beginning, he had no way to escape...

Hidden elder-second was completely engulfed in rage.

He was now full of regret, deep regret.

Regretting why he hadn't checked the almanac before leaving the house, encountering such a disaster star who was like a natural nemesis...

The moment he was immobilized by the Water Prison Technique, Hidden elder-second knew he was doomed.

Sure enough, within a few moments, Ouyang Feng's Red Gold Yellow Maple Sword pierced his left leg;

Murong Caiyun's Five-colored Spirit Light penetrated his left arm;

Hua Qianqian's Hundred Flowers Spirit Needle stuck in his knee; while Shangguan Xu placed his Heavy Sword at his neck...

The sinister and malevolent Hidden elder-second was subdued.

Mo Hua immediately ran over from a distance, seeing Hidden elder-second's eyes splitting with rage, staring venomously at him, he "kindly" suggested:

"Let's break both legs first..."

Everyone was stunned, looking at Mo Hua with very subtle expressions.

Although they had been on many missions and dealt with Sin Cultivators, they had never been "experienced" to this extent...

"Prevention is better than cure!"

Mo Hua said earnestly.

In this respect, he had experience!

Thinking about it, Ouyang Feng felt that what Mo Hua said made sense, so he flicked his wrist and emitted two Sword Qi, breaking Hidden elder-second's legs.

Hidden elder-second grimaced in pain, his gaze becoming even more venomous.

Mo Hua turned a blind eye and began searching through Hidden elder-second's Storage Bag.

Inside Hidden elder-second's Storage Bag, there were only some Spirit Stones, a few sinister daggers, and some books detailing the vital points of Cultivators, intended for assassination.

Besides this, there were also some Jade Slips.

But the Jade Slips contained only some poison recipes and miscellaneous Cultivation Techniques and the like.

Overall, the Storage Bag didn't contain anything critical.

Clearly, Hidden elder-second was cunning in action and in person, and wouldn't put any crucial things in such an obvious place like the Storage Bag.

Mo Hua then asked Hidden elder-second, "Where is the Minor Five Elements Stealth Skill?"

Those around, like Murong Caiyun, weren't surprised.

Throughout the journey, they had guessed as much.

This Junior Brother Mo Hua, eager to catch this Hidden elder-second, was probably interested in his Concealment Technique.

But such a thing was also natural.

Catching a Sin Cultivator, scavenging the spoils of war, learning a few Spells, as long as it wasn't related to vital Sect secrets or Evil Techniques and Demon Skills, was all acceptable.

And now that Hidden elder-second was captured, the Merit Points were also in hand.

As for Hidden elder-second, they let this Junior Brother do as he wished...

Murong Caiyun and Hua Qianqian kept watch around them to avoid being ambushed by Monster Beasts or other Sin Cultivators.

Shangguan Xu stood beside Mo Hua so that in case of danger, he could protect him.

Ouyang Feng stood behind Hidden elder-second, in case he had any tricks left and made a sudden move to harm someone.

Hidden elder-second spat out a mouthful of blood and sneered, "Don't think I'll hand it over!"

Mo Hua snorted coldly, "Quite tough!"

Then, unable to wait any longer, he took out a metal plate from the Storage Bag.

He had later found some time to "modify" this metal plate.

The effects of the Mountain, Water, and Fire Formations felt a bit weak, lacking a complementary effect between them.

This time, he removed the Mountain Formation and added a Gold-series Formation instead.

A Golden Needle pricking the knee should be more painful than a rock.

If Hidden elder-second wasn't so stubborn, he would have felt embarrassed to "execute the punishment."

But now, not only was he stubborn, but he was also looking at him fiercely, and Mo Hua just so happened to test this improved "Formation Punishment Board" on him.

Mo Hua placed the metal plate on the ground, activated the Formation, then said in a crisp voice to Hidden elder-second:

"Just kneel for a moment, see if it hurts; if it doesn't, I'll think of a way to optimize it and improve it a bit..."

Hidden elder-second was dumbfounded.

What the hell is this little devil talking about?

Such venomous words, yet spoken from his lips, they somehow sounded like he was saying,

"I have a candy here, try it later and see if it's sweet—if not, I'll add more sugar."

"Senior Brother Feng!"

Mo Hua glanced at Ouyang Feng.

Ouyang Feng understood immediately and skillfully grabbed Hidden elder-second, pressing him onto the iron board, and immediately a pig-slaughtering scream erupted.

Murong Caiyun helplessly held her forehead.

Beside her, Shangguan Xu and Hua Qianqian were dumbfounded.

It was their first encounter with this "iron board," but it wouldn't be the last...

Mo Hua curiously asked Hidden elder-second, "Does it hurt?"

Hidden elder-second, in so much pain he couldn't speak, trembled all over, nearly crushing his teeth.

"Speak up..." Mo Hua urged again.

Hidden elder-second was so furious he spat blood.

After about the time it took to brew a cup of tea, just as Hidden elder-second was about to faint, Mo Hua moved his Divine Sense and turned off the Formation on the iron board.

But even though Hidden elder-second was unsteady, he exuded a fierce determination and refused to speak a word.

Mo Hua frowned.

He had slightly overestimated the capability of his iron board.

Painful as it was, it still lacked some variance and needed some "improvements."

At the same time, he realized he had somewhat underestimated Hidden elder-second.

Indeed, Hidden elder-second was a tough man!

Was this inheritance of the Stealth Skill so important?

Even if tortured to death, he wouldn't speak?

Or perhaps, did he feel that being captured meant an inevitable death later on, so it mattered not whether he spoke?

Or maybe, had he undergone some training and harbored unspeakable secrets, so once captured, he would clench his teeth and remain silent?

…

In an instant, Mo Hua's thoughts were rampant.

However, he didn't care about other matters; what concerned him the most was the Minor Five Elements Stealth Skill.

The duck that was almost in his mouth cannot be allowed to fly away!

If Hidden elder-second wouldn't speak, then he would search himself.

Such precious inheritance—Hidden elder-second would definitely carry it on his body.

Just like his own inheritances, all hidden within the Storage Ring his master had given him—Hidden elder-second must also have a hiding place on his body!

Mo Hua thought of the Letter Token.

The Letter Token of Bald Eagle that he hadn't managed to find, which was later discovered by the Taoist Court...

Mo Hua felt somewhat indignant.

Suddenly, an idea struck him; he thought of the causality air mechanism he had sensed while Calculating the nature's spiritual energy.

Calculation!

Mo Hua's gaze sharpened, his pupils darkened with a black base, and upon this, threads of the Heavenly secret pattern began to form.

Hidden elder-second shuddered, feeling as if Mo Hua's enigmatic and profound eyes had seen right through his secrets…

A moment later, Mo Hua's expression brightened, he took out the Thousand Jun Stick and handed it to Ouyang Feng, pointing at Hidden elder-second, "Senior Brother Feng! Help me smash his teeth!"

Ouyang Feng hesitated.

"Teeth?"

"Hmm!" Mo Hua nodded.

After a moment's hesitation, Ouyang Feng complied with Mo Hua's wishes.

With a look of terror on Hidden elder-second's face, Ouyang Feng gathered his Spiritual Power into Strength, and with one strike of his stick, smashed Hidden elder-second's teeth.

Blood flowed out, with Hidden elder-second's teeth scattered on the ground.

Mo Hua discerned briefly, picked out one tooth, smiling beamingly.

This tooth, was a "Storage Bag"!

A very tiny Storage Bag, with a palm-sized space inside, just enough to contain a Jade Slip.

Mo Hua took out the Jade Slip and dangled it in front of Hidden elder-second.

Hidden elder-second widened his eyes, disbelieving.

Mo Hua smiled cheerfully and said,

"Your Stealth Technique is good, but now it's mine!"
