The Quest for Immortality Chapter 2269: The Leading Big Brother

Mo Hua's "power" overwhelms completely, commanding thirty disciples from Taixu Gate.

Prodigies of Gui Water Sect, Sever Gold Sect, and Vajra Sect likewise fall under his command.

Any thought of fighting is completely off the table.

Within this desolate blood swamp forest, peril and gloom surround every corner, leaving nowhere to flee.

Since battle proves impossible and flight offers no hope, Feng Zichen can only choose to align with them.

During the journey, Feng Zichen examined the disciples from Gui Water Sect, Sever Gold Sect, and Vajra Sect. They seemed perfectly normal, displaying no traces of brainwashing by Mo Hua, the "Evil Demon," or transformation into puppets, which brought him a wave of relief.

Why these disciples would ally with Mo Hua, their "great enemy," left Feng Zichen baffled, and he didn't dare to question it.

Mo Hua truly struck fear into the heart.

The brutal Shura battle scenes remained fresh in memory, vivid as ever for Feng Zichen.

With Divine Sense controlling ink, he sketched formations on the ground like demonic arts, driving Taixu Gate disciples to massacre prodigies from the seven sects.

Next, a strange formation detonated itself, wiping out prodigies from the Four Great Sects.

Moreover, through a horrifying Daoist technique, he eliminated five of Shen Linsu’s top Qianxue prodigies, even destroying their unique Eternal Life Runes.

Five Heaven Void Dharma Phases manifested at once, clashing against the Mount of Tao’s Fifth-grade Large Formation, rattling the heavens and earth.

Despite such odds, Mo Hua still emerged alive.

In the present circumstances, challenging Mo Hua seems even less feasible, so Feng Zichen suppresses his past grievances deep inside, silently trailing behind Mo Hua.

The group pressed on, soon running into a band of Lingxiao Sect disciples.

Since Lingxiao Sect held no deep grudge against Mo Hua, recognizing the wisdom of adapting to the times, they yielded and followed his lead.

Next came the Purple Mist Sect.

Purple Mist Sect presented a greater challenge.

For among them stood Lu Zhenlong, the sect’s most stunning beauty, famed across the city.

Ordinary folks might gauge the odds wisely, yet beautiful and pampered women seldom do.

Mo Hua had scarred her face with a Fireball Technique—a grudge Lu Zhenlong would carry forever, making alliance with him unthinkable.

All Purple Mist Sect disciples obeyed Lu Zhenlong’s will.

Not swayed by her allure, they simply sought to curry her favor.

Lu Zhenlong, as the Lu Family’s trueborn daughter—a powerhouse in Kun State representing vast riches—held sway.

The mighty Lu Family poured heaps of Spirit Stones and Spiritual Objects into Purple Mist Sect.

Likewise, many skilled but lowly-born disciples received her support, heading to Kun State post-Core Formation to serve the Lu Family.

These talents gained Lu Family backing, while the family collected a trove of cultivation geniuses—benefits flowing both ways.

Thus, Lu Zhenlong commanded exceptional standing in Purple Mist Sect.

Though her Spiritual Root shone brightly, her sheltered life bred laziness in cultivation, leaving her actual power mediocre.

Still, through her influence and resources, she reigned as Purple Mist Sect’s "core" disciple, truly "admired by all."

Spotting Mo Hua now, Lu Zhenlong—shielded by her sectmates—flashed a furious glare, jabbing her slender finger at him and raging:

"Whoever kills Mo Hua, I will let my father spend money and effort to nurture him to Feather Transformation!"

The seventeen Purple Mist Sect disciples around Lu Zhenlong instantly looked troubled.

They harbored no doubt Miss Lu would renege.

This Lu Family miss, though arrogant and capricious, always honored her pledges, paying out generously as vowed.

Even rare Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures flowed freely once promised, without a second thought.

She had lavished fortunes in Purple Mist Sect, winning loyalty.

The Lu Family funding their path to Feather Transformation sounded wild.

After all, reaching Feather Transformation rivals ascending to the heavens, beyond mere Spirit Stones or treasures.

Yet Lu Family resources in Spirit Stones and Spiritual Objects would ease the path immensely, removing countless hurdles.

Not one Purple Mist Sect disciple could stay indifferent.

"But...killing Mo Hua..."

They stole glances at Mo Hua.

To slay Mo Hua meant first breaching eighteen unbreakable Vajra guardians.

These eighteen Vajra Sect prodigies formed an ironclad barrier before Mo Hua.

Among them loomed Shi Tiangang, Vajra Sect’s Big Senior Brother.

Forget killing Mo Hua—even piercing this "Vajra Iron Wall" to approach him posed impossibility.

Besides, Mo Hua was ringed by disciples of Sever Gold Sect, Gui Water Sect, Carefree Sect, and Taixu Gate.

Yet the most daunting among them was undoubtedly Mo Hua himself...

Bitterness filled the hearts of Purple Mist Sect disciples.

The young miss could afford rashness, but they could not.

One disciple murmured softly to Lu Zhenlong:

"Miss Lu, Mo Hua is simply too fierce for us to handle. We should retreat and reconsider our options..."

Anger flared in Lu Zhenlong’s eyes.

Arrogant and stubborn as she was, she wasn’t entirely blind to reason.

She knew Purple Mist Sect couldn’t match Mo Hua, the "big bully," nor would they charge to their doom against him.

Her earlier outburst at seeing Mo Hua stemmed from instinct, but now calming down, indignation still burned as she eyed the dire straits.

Especially toward those from Vajra Sect, Carefree Sect, Sever Gold Sect, and Gui Water Sect.

Where was the vowed Demon Slaying Alliance?

Where was the pledge to eradicate "Mo" in Dao’s name?
