Chapter 1002: Chapter 651 Labyrinth Killing Formation_2 Chapter 1002 -651 Labyrinth Killing Formation_2 He had also heard the Formation Master from the Xiao family saying that they couldn’t make sense of the Formation and had to go back to consult with the ancestors of the Xiao family’s Heaven Shu Pavilion. “You say you can do it…” Doesn’t that mean… you could be the Xiao family’s “little ancestor”? Gu Changhuai became increasingly convinced that Mo Hua was possessed by some old demon or demon creature. Otherwise, how could a cultivator in his early teens have such profound knowledge in Formations? Gu Changhuai frowned again. But if he really was possessed… It wouldn’t be possible for him to enter the Taixu Gate. He would probably have been cut down by the terrifying Sword Cultivators of the Taixu back hill, the moment he stepped on the steps of Taixu Gate. Taixu Gate might not look impressive among the Eight Great Gates now. But back in the day, it was a place where Sword Cultivators emerged. Sword Intent reached the heavens, breaking all the laws of the world, slaying all evil demons. Demon God or Demon Monster, render them all with one swing of the sword… It’s just a pity that times have changed, and both people and swords have been sealed away, barely remembered by anyone… Even he only heard some rumors about it when he was studying at the Sect. Gu Changhuai let out a sigh. He looked at Mo Hua again. The glory of Tai Xu Sword Dao might have declined, but unexpectedly, they “picked up” a little monster in the way of Formations… “Can you lead the way?” Gu Changhuai asked. “Hmm,” Mo Hua nodded. “Okay,” Gu Changhuai looked around and said in a low voice, “You follow behind me later, show me the way, but keep a low profile yourself, don’t draw attention, lest you become the object of envy…” “Don’t worry, Uncle Gu, I understand.” Gu Changhuai nodded slightly and then stood up, commanding: “Everybody, form up and follow me into the maze.” The Enforcement Leaders looked at each other. Xiao Tianquan’s eyebrows furrowed, and he said anxiously: “Supervisor Gu, the Formations within this maze are intricate and inscrutable. We must…” Gu Changhuai gave him a cold look, “Whatever I say, goes. Just do as told.” Xiao Tianquan’s face showed a flash of anger, but he still bowed his head slightly and gritted his teeth: “I will follow the Supervisor’s orders.” What he was thinking and resenting in his heart, Gu Changhuai could see at a glance. But Gu Changhuai didn’t care. “Enter the maze, follow the previous arrangement, group into teams of five…” “If you encounter Demon Cultivators, strike first, show no mercy.” “I’ll emphasize once more…” Gu Changhuai’s eyes grew stern, “Show no mercy, strike to kill!” “These Demon Cultivators are cruel and cunning, killers without conscience. If they have even a breath left in them, it could be you who dies…” The more than four hundred Court Officials from the Taoist Court responded in unison, their expressions serious, saying: “Yes!” Then Gu Changhuai led the way with Mo Hua right behind him. The other Enforcement Leaders drew their standard Spiritual Weapons, alert and wary, and entered the labyrinth one after another. Xiao Tianquan’s gaze revealed a hint of inscrutable darkness as he followed them in. … The maze was constructed from ancient Bronze. A perplexing Mystery Formation was carved within it. It was complex and one couldn’t discern the direction inside; every wall appeared identical, and everywhere one walked felt like the same location. There was simply no way to know where the path lay. Yet Gu Changhuai led the way as if he knew the path ahead, guiding everyone gradually towards the grand center of the maze… “Truly worthy of Supervisor Gu!” The Cultivators felt a growing respect for Gu Changhuai. Xiao Tianquan was also shocked. He couldn’t understand how Gu Changhuai knew the way? What method was he using to determine the direction? Gu Changhuai wasn’t a Formation Master, not refined in Formations. Even the Xiao family’s “professional” Formation Masters couldn’t see through the Mystery Formation and find their way in the maze. How did Gu Changhuai recognize the path? Xiao Tianquan frowned, utterly baffled. What they didn’t notice was that at each fork in the road, Mo Hua, who was beside Gu Changhuai, would stealthily pull on Gu Changhuai’s sleeve. Wherever Mo Hua tugged, Gu Changhuai would walk that way without a word. It seemed as though Gu Changhuai was leading the way. In actuality, it was Mo Hua guiding him. Occasionally encountering complex forks, Mo Hua would stop and release his Divine Sense to search for the accurate exit. Gu Changhuai would then conveniently instruct everyone to take a rest. The Enforcement Leaders felt somewhat puzzled. But they didn’t dare question Gu Changhuai’s orders. At this time, Xiao Tianquan noticed Mo Hua beside Gu Changhuai. He walked up with a pretense and exchanged a few pleasantries with Gu Changhuai before he inquired indirectly: “Who is this young fellow…” Supervisor Gu had been bringing along this little kid, in the early stages of Foundation Establishment. Initially, he thought this kid was average and not worth his attention. However, unexpectedly, the kid stuck closely to Gu Changhuai all this time… Even in this complex and perilous inner sanctum of the maze, Gu Changhuai still brought him along. That was rather peculiar… Gu Changhuai’s expression was impassive, offering no answer. Feeling that Uncle Gu’s silence was a bit rude, Mo Hua said in his place: “I’m here to gain experience with Uncle Gu.” In a sense, it was the truth and gave Xiao Tianquan some room for “imagining.” Experience? 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮 Xiao Tianquan was taken aback, then had a realization. So that’s how it was… Probably a disciple from some powerful background, following Supervisor Gu to see the world and gain some experience. Maybe even to mix in some qualifications, for easier promotion within the Taoist Court in the future. But… For Gu Changhuai, who never favored personal connections, to actually agree?
