Chapter 451: Discovery 443
Even for a moment, he felt as if Mo Hua had not only infiltrated the Corpse Walking Stronghold but even entered his secret chamber, currently hidden somewhere, silently observing him.
Zhang Quan broke out in a cold sweat, shaking his head repeatedly.
Impossible!
No matter how cunning that kid was, he couldnât possibly be that outrageous.
At most, he might have reached the outskirts of the strongholdâŚ
Or perhaps, he only knew the general location and hadnât had the time to followâŚ
At this moment, Zhang Quan both hoped that the corpse cultivators would find traces of Mo Hua and hoped they wouldnât.
Soon, a subordinate came to report, âHouseholder, there are traces.â
Zhang Quan was startled, âWhat kind of traces?â
âThe Formation seems to have been tampered with.â
âFormation?!â
Zhang Quan suddenly widened his eyes.
That kid, indeed knew about Formations!
âQuick, take me to see.â
Zhang Quan followed the corpse cultivator out the door.
Mo Hua, hiding above a beam, touched his chin and pondered, âWhere have I left any traces?â
Mo Hua remembered his actions had been quite clean this time.
Curious, he quietly followed to see for himself where he had slipped up so that he could pay attention to it next time, fix the oversight, and improve his technique.
A noisy group from Corpse Walking Stronghold was
Zhang Quan glared fiercely at the corpse cultivator and said to Instructor Yan with a clasped fist:
âMy subordinate was rash, I apologize for the offense. Please donât take it to heart, Mr. Yan.â
Instructor Yan nodded slightly.
Zhang Quan hesitated for a moment, his gaze flickering slightly, before he asked:
âMr. Yan, do you think there could be someone sneaking into the stronghold?â
Instructor Yan frowned, âHow would they sneak in?â
Zhang Quan was momentarily stunned, âThisâŚâ
Instructor Yan said displeasedly: âBoth inside and outside the stronghold are covered by the formations I have laid. Unless the formations are broken, not even a mosquito could fly in, let alone a cultivator.â
Zhang Quan said, âWhat if that personâs proficiency in formation is somewhat profoundâŚâ
Instructor Yanâs expression turned solemn as he spoke coldly:
âAre you implying that I, Yan, am not skilled enough? That my formations are inferior to someone elseâs?â
Zhang Quan gave an awkward smile, âWhy would you say that, sirâŚâ
Instructor Yan huffed disdainfully and said with arrogance:
âNot to boast, but although I am not yet recognized with an official assessment, my prowess is already that of a first-rank Formation Master. In South Yue City, although there are cultivators with formation skills surpassing mine, it is utterly impossible for anyone to break my formations without making any noise!â
After he finished speaking, he glanced at Zhang Quan, âHouseholder, could it be that you look down upon me, Yan?â
The temperament of a Formation Master is indeed unbearably foul and rigid, and they are particularly difficult to offend.
Zhang Quan grumbled to himself internally, but still politely said on the surface:
âMr. Yan is taking my words too seriously. Iâm just preparing for every possibility.â
However, since Instructor Yan said as much, Zhang Quan also felt reassured.
Then he kicked the corpse cultivator with his foot, âApologize to Mr. Yan.â
The corpse cultivator could only bow and say, âPlease forgive me, Mr. Yan.â
Instructor Yanâs countenance slightly cleared.
Seeing this, Zhang Quan then smiled and said, âSir, I would like to ask you a question.â
Instructor Yan nodded, âHouseholder, please speak.â
Zhang Quan said, âSuppose someone is adept at concealment and wants to infiltrate Corpse Walking Stronghold, how should we defend against it?â
Instructor Yan was inwardly startled, but his expression remained normal as he said casually:
âSuch trivial concealing techniques are hardly worth mentioning.â
Zhang Quanâs face brightened, âPlease enlighten me, sir.â
Instructor Yan said, âThe Expose Shadow Formation would be best, for under it, no cultivator can hide, and all forms of concealment unravel themselves.â
âHowever, this Expose Shadow Formation is quite challenging, and the stronghold doesnât possess the necessary Spiritual Ink for it. Moreover, itâs quite cumbersome to set up and hence not very feasible.â
âThe best method would be to use the Expose Dust Formation.â
âSet it up at the strongholdâs main gate and around its periphery. Any cultivator who sneaks in would reveal their tracksâŚâ
âExcellent!â Zhang Quan praised, âYou truly live up to your reputation, Mr. Yan.â
Zhang Quan had not heard of the Expose Shadow Formation, but he was familiar with the Expose Dust Formation.
Hundred Flower Tower had numerous Expose Dust Formations deployed to prevent those with peculiar proclivities from spying on intimate affairs.
Zhang Quan said, âMay I ask if Mr. Yan could set up some Expose Dust Formations around the stronghold?â
Instructor Yan feigned ignorance:
âSet up Expose Dust Formations to guard against whom?â
Zhang Quan replied with a smile that wasnât quite a smile, âThatâs not something you need to worry about, sir.â
Instructor Yan showed slight displeasure, pondered for a moment, but made up his mind and slowly nodded:
âSince the Householder has commanded, I shall naturally comply.â
Zhang Quan breathed a sigh of relief, showing a pleased expression:
âThen Iâll have to trouble you, Mr. Yan.â
Instructor Yan also gave a bow.
Having handled Zhang Quan, Instructor Yan also let out a slight sigh of relief.
Afterward, he looked at the formation on the wall, his expression becoming distant.
This is⌠deciphering the formation, right?
Mo Hua, this child, can even decipher formations?
And looking at his technique, so effortless and obviously very proficient, he must have devoted great effort to this.
Instructor Yan became somewhat dazed.
The formation that he had painstakingly and sincerely painted was casually solved by this childâŚ
Instructor Yan shook his head, feeling both shocked and comforted, and couldnât help murmuring to himself:
âTo what extent has Mo Huaâs skill in formations actually reached?â
