CHAPTER 1648: CHAPTER 855: ROLL CALL_3

Mo Hua spoke half-truths, sounding convincing.

Master Xiao didn’t know the details, but he was still taken aback.

Especially by the words "Ancestor".

The sect’s ancestor, they are not ordinary figures.

Master Xiao’s expression was solemn, "The sect’s ancestor taught you the Formation? What exactly is your identity?"

Mo Hua casually replied, "Our sect’s ancestor is different. He enjoys personally teaching the disciples the Formation. All the disciples in the sect have been taught by the ancestor..."

Master Xiao was half-skeptical.

Mo Hua said no more, and instead waved his hand, saying, "Follow me."

After speaking, he naturally stepped past Master Xiao, leading the group.

Master Xiao silently watched Mo Hua’s back without saying anything.

Gu Changhuai and the others were even less inclined to speak.

They were familiar with Mo Hua and knew he was always skilled at finding paths. Although he sometimes seemed mysterious, they didn’t know how he identified routes and directions. But generally, following him was not mistaken.

The group then followed Mo Hua, walking through the White Bone Path of the maze.

With Mo Hua leading, the originally intricate maze path suddenly became clear.

Which paths were passable, which were not.

Where to turn, where to turn back.

Mo Hua was thoroughly knowledgeable.

It seemed like he personally supervised the construction of this White Bone Maze.

Master Xiao found it somewhat unbelievable, even suspecting Mo Hua was actually colluding with that "Mr. Witch", leading them towards a dead end.

Fortunately, the journey was smooth thereafter.

When encountering Blood zombies, Mo Hua seemed to possess foreknowledge, able to evade in advance.

Occasionally, there were a few unavoidable ones, which were not opponents for Master Xiao.

Thus, they proceeded, kill and move, occasionally stopping to rest.

Without knowing how long had passed, they walked until they reached the edge of the maze.

Mo Hua was somewhat hesitant.

He still hadn’t found the altar.

Moreover, he had a feeling that the position of the altar had changed, very likely hidden by that "Mr. Witch".

Recalling earlier, the scene of the blood sea pouring back.

The altar very likely was the "spring eye" of the Blood Pool.

"This is troublesome..."

Mo Hua frowned.

If he took everyone out like this, it would be almost impossible for him alone to explore into the depths of the maze.

Even if possible, it would be fraught with danger.

Besides, he still didn’t know where the altar was.

Even if he knew where the altar was, if the place where the blood water was pouring back was where the altar was, he couldn’t enter...

Mo Hua pondered deeply, no good solution, only deliberately took a few wrong paths, starting to delay some time.

But continuing to delay like this wasn’t a solution either.

Mo Hua glanced at Ouyang Feng and Hua Qianqian, sighed slightly.

Enough, better send the people out first, to avoid neglecting one thing over another...

Mo Hua then led everyone towards the maze’s exit.

After about 30 minutes of walking, the maze’s exit was before their eyes.

This was a grand door, and it looked very familiar, ram’s horn relief, wide and thick, just like the door when entering the inner hall.

Blood Pool transformed into the White Bone Maze.

Thus the maze’s exit was naturally the entrance before entering the Blood Pool.

Everyone’s expressions were filled with joy.

Even Master Xiao breathed a sigh of relief, he looked at Water Yama, asked in a low voice, "How much longer?"

Others might not know what he was asking, but Mo Hua was clear.

Master Xiao was asking, how much longer until the Water Prison Forbidden Box could be opened.

Water Yama’s gaze deepened, said, "About six hours."

Master Xiao frowned.

This time was a bit long...

Mainly because Mo Hua led them too quickly, otherwise they couldn’t have exited the maze so fast.

Now with six hours remaining, it slightly deviated from his plan.

But now leaving was the priority.

Master Xiao thought about it and walked towards the door, but before he could reach it, his expression changed and he slowly retreated.

An eerie laughter suddenly rang out:

"It’s amazing you found your way here..."

At the same time, in front of the door, a dense swarm of Blood zombies crawled up from all directions, tightly blocking the door.

The number was several times more than those encountered in the maze before.

Blood Qi flooded the surroundings.

A figure gradually materialized in the center of the Blood zombie.

Its limbs twisted, surrounded by Blood Qi, covered in scales, ugly and ferocious, resembling a yaksha.

It was Mr. Witch.

Behind it followed a special Blood zombie.

This Blood zombie had only one arm, but Evil Qi was intense, its neck had a row of blood holes, covered in blood, evidently it had been refined not long ago.

It was none other than Xie Liu, who shortly before had had an arm cut off by Master Xiao and was bitten by Mr. Witch, fallen into the Blood Pool.

Transformed into a monster, Mr. Witch’s gaze at this moment was frenzied, speaking human words:

"This Dragon King Temple is a dead land."

"On Divine Lord’s command, all cultivators who enter this temple must die."

"All believers guarding the temple are dead, I killed them."

"Their lives were offered to the Divine Lord, their flesh nourished the embryo, their Divine Souls shall return to the Great Wilderness."

"Death was their honor, also my supreme offering to the Divine Lord!"

The inhuman Mr. Witch finished grippingly, his scarlet gaze turned towards the group, then continued with a cold laugh:

"According to Divine Lord’s prophecy, a great adversary desecrating the Divine Lord will arrive soon."

"And you all are the best living sacrifices."

"You are the grand gift I present to the Divine Lord!"

"When the Divine Lord awakens, tastes your Divine Souls, uses your flesh as puppets to eradicate the adversary, naturally will bestow upon me supreme blessings."

"I give you a chance, surrender now..."
