Chapter 1046 -663 Hao Xuan_3

"Using this kind of rune would deplete one’s Tao cultivation origin,”

"A Heaven Void Ancestor might only be able to cultivate one in their entire lifetime,”

"So, unless their end is near, or they have completely lost hope in their Tao cultivation journey, they wouldn’t willingly damage their own origin, sever their path, and craft such a defiant special Eternal Life Rune for their descendants.”

"The special ‘Eternal Life’ Rune, it truly lives up to the name ‘Eternal Life.’ It’s practically equal to having an extra life.”

Mo Hua was shocked upon hearing this.

*He had known the special Eternal Life Rune was valuable, but he hadn’t realized it was so priceless.*

A Heaven Void cultivation origin, exchanged for a descendant’s life.

Mo Hua frowned, his thoughts turning to his Junior Brother and Junior Sister…

*Back when they were outside Li Mountain City, his Junior Brother and Junior Sister had shattered their special Eternal Life Runes to save him and to confront the Saint Heir and the group of Golden Core Demon Cultivators under his command.*

*With their special Eternal Life Runes destroyed, what would become of them in the future?*

*Wouldn’t that mean they’ve lost their life-saving talismans?*

*Such precious talismans—crafting one was already a rare extravagance. It was unlikely any Heaven Void Ancestor would create a second one for them.*

Mo Hua sighed heavily, his expression full of anxiety.

"I hope my Junior Brother and Junior Sister will be all right

Hao Xuan, misunderstanding that Mo Hua was worried about him, felt deeply moved and comforted him:

"Don’t worry, I’ll be fine.”

Mo Hua replied, “Mm, as long as you’re fine

Hao Xuan thought for a moment before putting on a serious expression and saying earnestly to Mo Hua:

"Mo Hua, you saved my life. From now on, you’re my sworn brother!”

Mo Hua reassured him, “This is something I should do; there’s no need to dwell on it.”

Hao Xuan, however, remained stubbornly determined.

After a while, he suddenly remembered something and asked puzzledly:

"By the way, Mo… Junior Brother, were those two black-clad cultivators the ones you killed?”

"When did you… become so powerful?”

"I thought you were only good at Formations

Mo Hua blinked and sighed:

"Actually, my cultivation is quite weak; I’m not their match at all. I only managed to set up a Formation in advance, using strategy to counter brute force. That’s how I lucked out and dealt with the two of them

Then, Mo Hua revealed a “frightened” expression, “Thinking about it now, it still makes me feel a bit scared.”

Hao Xuan nodded, “So that’s how it was

But after nodding for a while, he suddenly froze, realizing something was amiss:

"Wait a second—that man was killed by the Fireball Technique. After he died, you even

*…used the Fireball Technique to ‘punish the corpse.’*

*How ruthless.*

*And the technique was so skillful, so composed, not at all like something done out of luck…*

Mo Hua froze for a moment, then patted Hao Xuan’s shoulder with a solemn expression and said:

"That’s your imagination. You were injured and disoriented, so you must have seen it wrong.”

"Both of them died because of the Formation—it has nothing to do with me.”

Hao Xuan appeared utterly confused.

*Was I… disoriented?*

Seeing his reaction, Mo Hua quickly changed the subject:

"These are minor matters. By the way, why were you being hunted by those two people? Who were they?”

Hao Xuan’s attention was successfully diverted. After thinking for a moment, he suddenly exclaimed:

"There are others!”

"Others?” Mo Hua furrowed his brow.

"The one being chased!” Hao Xuan said urgently.

Mo Hua’s brows knitted together, “What exactly happened?”

Hao Xuan began to explain:

"The five of us, including Cheng Mo and Situ Jian, had taken on a bounty mission and went to a nearby Immortal City to complete it.”

"After finishing the task, we planned to return together, but as we passed through a desolate mountain, we saw a group of suspicious cultivators. They had their faces covered, were carrying sacks, and were pushing boxes—up to something unknown.”

"Finding them suspicious, we decided to follow them in secret.”

"It didn’t take long before they noticed us. As soon as they did, their expressions changed drastically. They all drew swords and weapons and attacked us.”

"We fought them for a while, but we were outnumbered and overpowered. We had no choice but to scatter and flee.”

"Before escaping, I happened to catch a glimpse—a look inside those sacks and boxes they were carrying

Hao Xuan paused, then said in an icy tone, “They were filled with people

People?

Mo Hua’s expression froze. Then, as if remembering something, his eyes darkened, and a flicker of cold light flashed over his face.

*Once again… human traffickers…*
