Immortality Through Array Formations Chapter 2223

[ … words ]

And many Sects were originally “subordinate” to the Qian Taoist Sect, following its lead.

Other Sects were “brother” Sects of the Sever Gold Sect and Gui Water Sect, with intertwined interests.

These related forces also had poor relations with the Taixu Gate.

Now, Tai’a, Chongxu, and Taixu have united into one Sect.

All these accumulated grudges and enmities naturally converged in one place.

The Taixu Gate naturally became the “target of all.”

These Sect grudges are but one aspect.

Another aspect is due to the current position of the Taixu Gate.

Being the head of the Eight Great Gates is actually a hot potato.

Advance, and it threatens the Four Great Sects, becoming a “thorn in the eye” for the Four Great Sects.

Retreat, and all the Sects of the Eight Great Gates vie for the top position, and the Taixu Gate’s current position becomes a “fat piece of meat” in everyone’s eyes.

If the Eight Great Gates want to advance, their first target is the Taixu Gate, ranked first among the Eight Gates.

The Four Great Sects, not wanting to fall back, also see the Taixu Gate, one step away from them, as their primary threat.

For these reasons, the Taixu Gate naturally finds itself in a precarious situation.

Not to mention, within the Taixu Gate, there’s Mo Hua.

The disciples participating in the sword discussion hold a grudge against Mo Hua because of victory and defeat.

The elders outside the arena, especially the Elder of Daoist Law, also hold a grudge against Mo Hua in their hearts.

Currently, on the grand stage of the Sects, Taixu Gate is the target of everyone’s attacks.

Among the Sect’s disciples, Mo Hua is also the public “archenemy”…

So much so, that many disciples are eagerly anticipating this Shura battle.

…

In the Tumo Order, everyone was discussing fervently.

I am irreconcilable with the Fireball Technique:

“I don’t know why a Shura battle suddenly appeared, but I can only say, this Shura battle is very welcome!”

“No matter how cunning Mo Hua is at Concealment, or how good his movement technique is, can he evade the pursuit of a group of five hunters, let alone the pursuit of hundreds of teams from a single Sect, even the Four Great Sects, Eight Gates, and Twelve Streams combined?”

“If he survives this, I’ll acknowledge him as my dad on the spot!”

Big Fool: “Indeed, this Shura format is excellent. I was just worried about not getting a chance to meet Mo Hua again in the sword discussion, unable to kill him with one punch, and wash away my past humiliation.”

“Now this opportunity has arrived suddenly.”

“Like rain after a long drought.”

“I haven’t read much, I just don’t know where this Shura battle came from…”

A Canglang Sword: “It’s said to be an old ancestral system accidentally unearthed during the Dao Discussion Heaven Instrument…”

A Wind-like Youth sincerely agreed, “The ancestors’ things are indeed good things.”

A group of people said in succession, “The ancestors were wise.”

“The ancestors had far-sightedness…”

“Without this Shura battle, Mo Hua’s cunning would make him quite hard to kill.”

“Our luck indeed, as the final match came down to this Shura battle.”

“Guess Mo Hua, that little one, committed too many evil deeds, even the deities couldn’t bear it, so they intervened in the heavenly secret, allowing the Dao Discussion Heaven Instrument to deduce a ’Shura battle’, giving us a chance for revenge…”

“In this world, there aren’t just many good people, but also many good deities…”

“Let’s pledge to kill Mo Hua together in this Shura battle, letting him experience a nightmare akin to Asura…”

“Whoever succeeds in slaughtering ’Mo’ can be our Alliance Hierarch!”

“Eliminate ’Mo’ to uphold the Dao, wash away past humiliation, in this battle!”

“We may lose the sword discussion, but Mo Hua must die!”

A group of people responded in unison:

“Eliminate ’Mo’ to uphold the Dao!”

“Wash away past humiliation!”

“We may lose the sword discussion, but Mo Hua must die!”

…

Taixu Gate, main hall.

The Three Mountains Sect Leader and the elders also gathered, burning the midnight oil, discussing for over half the day.

As night deepened, the elders dispersed.

Only the three Sect Leaders remained in the hall.

The Taia Mountain Sect Leader pondered for a moment, then spoke seriously:

“It’s troublesome, I hadn’t realized we at the Taixu Gate had so many ’enemies’.”

“And that kid Mo Hua, he’s quite hated? Although I find him rather endearing…”

The Chongxu Mountain Sect Leader sighed: “This Shura battle looks difficult…”

No matter how high the weighting or the score disparity is for the Shura battle, it typically only fluctuates by three or four ranks.

But it’s different for the Taixu Gate.

Looking at the current Taixu Gate, it has become a target for all to “destroy and punish.”

If they are “ganged up” on and wiped out at the start, who knows how much their rank would plummet.

All prior efforts would become futile.

And they would be basically out of touch with the “Heavenly” sword discussion.

All hopes would become an illusory dream, shattering in an instant.

“We must think of a way.”

“Qianxue Debate is the debate of prodigies, everything depends on the disciples’ efforts. Though we are Sect Leaders, there’s little we can do.”

“Even if there were something to be done, it would have to be before the sword discussion, patiently preparing, pouring in resources, and training disciples to lay the foundation for their sword discussion…”

“Without effort in ordinary times, there’s only anxiousness during the sword discussion.”

“As things stand, it’s up to them; we can’t help much.”

The Chongxu Sect Leader slightly sighed, his voice heavy.

“We still need to do something.”

“What to do?”

The Taia Sect Leader pondered for a moment and said, “I’ll ask Mo Hua again?”

“What are you going to ask him?”

“Ask if he’s confident.”

“Is this merely about his confidence?” The Chongxu Sect Leader frowned, “In the Shura battle against the Four Great Sects, Eight Gates, Twelve Streams, facing targeting from the majority of Sects and hostility from most disciples, no matter how skilled he is, how can he have any certainty?”

“You witnessed the previous sword discussion.”

“Leaving aside other matters, merely the top talents of the Four Great Sects are four insurmountable Heavenly Chasms.”
