Immortality Through Array Formations Chapter 1036

[ … words ]

“Alright, alright…” Mo Hua said helplessly, “I won’t tell anyone, and I don’t need your Merit Points, but it’s dangerous out there, so you all need to be careful…”

Cheng Mo was stunned for a moment but then immediately broke into a smile, hugging Mo Hua’s shoulder and saying,

“You really are my good brother! In the future, if you need anything, I’ve got your back!”

Situ Jian also looked at Mo Hua with gratitude.

However, upon seeing Cheng Mo’s proud demeanor, a Disciple couldn’t help but interject:

“Don’t flatter yourself, when would Mo Hua ever need your protection?”

Cheng Mo replied, “What do you know?”

“How would I not know?”

“It takes three stakes to prop up a fence, and even a hero needs three helpers…”

“You, a hero? You’re at best a rotten stake…”

…

Mo Hua, seeing them bickering, couldn’t be bothered to intervene, simply reminding them,

“Be careful when you go out…”

“Some Sin Cultivators are very cunning…”

After that, Mo Hua left.

Mo Hua wasn’t very worried.

Although Cheng Mo and his four companions were all at the Foundation Establishment Initial Stage, they were born into noble families, with deep Cultivation foundations, and the Taoist Skills they practiced were not weak.

The five of them working together would be a match for an average person in the Foundation Building Middle Stage. Even if they couldn’t win, they could still escape.

Moreover, the targets of their mission this time seemed to be Sin Cultivators at the Foundation Establishment Early Stage, so Mo Hua figured the problem shouldn’t be too big.

A few days later, Mo Hua saw clearly that Cheng Mo and the others had indeed slipped out of the Sect during their scheduled break.

In less than two days, they returned, beaming with pride.

Mo Hua knew without asking that they had obviously completed their mission successfully.

Especially Cheng Mo, who seemed to have earned considerable Merit Points for this mission, was full of pride.

Currently, Taixu Gate did not allow their Disciples to take on missions to capture Sin Cultivators.

One reason was that Sin Cultivators were generally vicious.

And the Disciples in the Sect, having been brought up in comfort and arrogance, might easily fall into a trap when suddenly confronting Sin Cultivators.

Cheng Mo and his friends were not only strong but also lucky.

Since they had taken on the mission in secret, they became, aside from Mo Hua, the first among their peers to complete such a wanted “bounty” mission.

Naturally, this made them stand out.

The Elders either didn’t know or simply turned a blind eye.

But the story gradually spread among the Disciples.

Many began to entertain the idea of going out themselves.

After all, the rewards for entry-level tasks were accumulated slowly and were tedious, nowhere near as exciting and lucrative as these bounty missions.

Several Disciples secretly approached Cheng Mo, asking how to take on missions, what precautions to take when going out, what Pills to prepare, and so on…

Cheng Mo was even more pleased with himself.

However, he didn’t forget about Mo Hua.

One day during a meal, Cheng Mo found Mo Hua and whispered, “Next time, I’ll take you with us on a mission…”

Mo Hua was taken aback, “You’re taking me?”

“Yeah!” Cheng Mo said, “The four of us, plus you. You don’t have to do anything, just run errands, help out with chores, and we’ll share the Merit Points with you…”

Mo Hua felt a mix of emotions and was somewhat moved.

But he still shook his head.

He didn’t need Cheng Mo to take him.

And the little Merit Points they would share, he didn’t care for them…

Cheng Mo thought Mo Hua didn’t trust him and declared emphatically:

“On the Formation, I admit you’re the boss! But when it comes to going out and capturing Sin Cultivators for bounties, your scrawny arms and legs won’t cut it. You’ll have to recognize me as the boss!”

Mo Hua, expressionless, responded, “Oh…”
