Mortals: Take Mo Juren at the start

Chapter 1007 Hu Guang's Entrustment and Negotiation
"There is such a bizarre thing!" Han Yunzhi's pretty face was full of surprise as she regained her concentration. She continued,
"Does my husband have any clues?"

"No." Mo Juren shook his head directly.

The content of the jade slip was simple. Before his death, Hu Guang entrusted him with a task, which was to help save one of his descendants, a girl who was born more than a hundred years ago.

Yes, girls.

Compared with ordinary cultivators, this descendant of the other party is somewhat different.

First, the good side is that his innate spiritual roots have dark attributes, which is absolutely top-notch in the entire cultivation world.

According to normal logic, this girl's future will be smooth sailing. She may not be able to achieve the same success as Hu Guang, but with the huge foundation of the Hu family, she will definitely not be bad.

However, when the girl was five years old, an accident suddenly occurred.

That day, he started the first step of cultivation under the guidance of his mother. Unexpectedly, just as he began to draw Qi into his body, he suddenly fell into a coma and has never woken up since then, which has continued to this day.

What is even more strange is that this woman fell into a deep sleep more than a hundred years ago, which means that her real age is over a hundred years old, while she is still in a mortal body. In theory, she should have reached old age or even died long ago.

However, the actual situation was completely different. From the moment this woman fell asleep, time seemed to have stopped for her and no longer passed at all.

More than a hundred years have passed, and it still looks the same as before it fell asleep.

This also means that the other party is still a little girl who looks about five years old.

Just as Han Yunzhi said, this was a bit too bizarre, and it also piqued Mo Juren's interest.

As the saying goes, there must be something wrong when things are abnormal. There must be some unknown reason for this woman's situation. Although he is not sure, don't forget the two big guys, Xuanming and Yuansha.

Then bring this girl over and ask them to help take a look, maybe they have found a treasure.

The reason why he hesitated, or was confused, was not because of anything else, but because of another thing mentioned by Hu Guang.

When the girl was one year old, the other party had examined her body in detail and discovered that there seemed to be another strange aura in her sea of ​​consciousness.

Such a situation naturally surprised Hu Guang, but when he carefully sensed it again, the breath disappeared again.

This immediately aroused Hu Guang's suspicion. Did that aura really exist, or was it just a mistake due to his negligence?

In the following years, he would occasionally explore his sea of ​​consciousness, but unfortunately, apart from the first time, he never found anything again.

It seemed that what happened that time was really just an illusion. It was not until the girl suddenly fainted and fell into a deep sleep that the doubts that had originally existed in Hu Guang's heart reappeared.

Unfortunately, although he checked afterwards, there was still no abnormality.

Faced with such a result, Hu Guang was helpless. He told Mo Juren through the jade slip that he only wanted the other party to take precautions in advance when treating the patient.

"Could it be that someone is secretly plotting against us, or is it that someone is taking over our body?" Han Yunzhi naturally also read the matter mentioned in the jade slip, and guessed with some curiosity.

"There shouldn't be any calculation. Firstly, we are under Hu Guang's nose. Secondly, he is just a child with special spiritual roots. There is really no need. Besides, what kind of calculation would cause the effect of freezing time?
As for taking over someone else's body, that's even more impossible. Don't forget the three great laws. That girl is only a five-year-old child and has not become a true immortal cultivator. Theoretically, no one would take over someone else's body. "Mo Juren shook his head slightly.

"That's true." Han Yunzhi also reacted, but she was still very confused.
"Since it's not a possession, then what is this strange aura?"

"That's not clear. Only after personal investigation can we figure out what's going on." Mo Juren smiled and changed the subject.
"Okay, let's put this matter aside for now. When everything here is over, I'll be heading to Dajin, and we can deal with it all at once then."

"Da Jin?" Han Yunzhi instinctively showed anticipation when the name was mentioned. As a holy land for cultivators in this world, she had longed for it for a long time.

……

After a few days, Mo Juren felt that the time was almost right, so he took the initiative to invite Yan Ruyan and Ge Mingyue over.

The purpose is very simple, which is to mediate the dispute between the Ghost Spirit Sect and the Blood Killing Sect.

In fact, it has been a while, and Ge Mingyue is in a very calm mood. However, Yan Ruyan has been extremely anxious. She has even visited her in person more than once and sent her a large number of rare treasures.

Mo Juren was naturally leaving the other person out on purpose. After all, at the previous party, this woman relied on her little cleverness to act in front of him. Did she think he was easy to fool?

Of course, this is only the superficial reason. The main reason is out of consideration for the future of the Blood Killing Sect, so it is necessary to give this woman and even the entire Ghost Spirit Sect a warning.

The effect of this was immediate. He never expressed his opinion, which made everyone in the Ghost Spirit Sect, including Yan Ruyan, more and more uneasy.

With Mo Juren's current influence in the demon world, all he needs to do is say a word, and the other sects will tear the Ghost Spirit Sect into pieces immediately without him having to do anything himself.

What's more, the opponent already possesses such terrifying strength that the Ghost Spirit Sect cannot resist at all.

Of course, this is the worst case scenario. The other party should not do that. After all, the Ghost Spirit Sect is one of the major demonic sects that has been passed down from ancient times to the present. If it is destroyed for no reason, the impact will be immeasurable.

Even if the opponent is a powerful person in the Spirit Transformation Stage, it is still possible to incur public outrage, and other factions will inevitably feel grief-stricken.

Similar situations have occurred in past records. About ten thousand years ago, there was a powerful person in the God Transformation Stage who angered too many people for some reason. He was besieged by countless powerful people and eventually died.

This is a bit far away. If we look a little closer, wasn't the famous 'Master Cangkun', who was half a step away from becoming a god, also besieged and killed by various forces in Tiannan?
Well, Yan Ruyan obviously didn't know Mo Juren's true strength. Even if all the forces in Tiannan joined forces to besiege him, they would ultimately end in failure.

Fortunately, Yan Ruyan is still relatively cautious. Even with the above speculation, she still cannot guarantee that everything will be foolproof. After all, the person in front of her is not the same. He does not plan to stay in Tiannan for a long time and will leave soon.

What if he really gets angry and attacks the Ghost Spirit Sect without any scruples? Then I can just walk away. Wouldn't that be the end of me?

Therefore, although they had a glimmer of hope in their hearts, neither Yan Ruyan nor other high-level members of the Guiling Sect dared to be careless at all.

During this period, Yan Ruyan gave away almost all the treasures she brought with her, and even had some inappropriate thoughts, but she suppressed them immediately.

She was still very confident about her appearance. It might have been the same effect if it were someone else, but facing Mo Juren, she really had no confidence at all.

If the plan fails, it will backfire.

Fortunately, after waiting for so long, I finally got a response from Mo Juren.

With a feeling of surprise and trepidation, she rushed to the other party's cave as quickly as possible. "Brother Mo, Sister Mingyue." After entering the hall, Yan Ruyan saw two figures inside at a glance. After being left out for so long, she dared not have any temper at this moment, and her tone and demeanor were extremely respectful.

"Miss Yan, you are welcome. Please take a seat." Mo Juren laughed without showing any arrogance. This made Yan Ruyan feel relieved. She then walked to the side and sat down slowly.

"What is the purpose of inviting you two here? I think you all know it without me repeating it. So tell me first, what are your respective ideas?" Putting away his smile, Mo Juren didn't waste any words and directly brought up the topic.

After these words were spoken, Ge Mingyue's eyes only flickered slightly, and her expression did not change much. However, Yan Ruyan's heart, which had originally been slightly relieved, was tense again.

"Let me speak first." After a pause, Ge Mingyue took the initiative to speak.

"As for Sister Yan's suggestion to stop the dispute, I agree in principle, but how to stop it and how to deal with it later need to be made clear."

"What is Sister Mingyue's opinion?" Yan Ruyan naturally understood what the other party meant, and her expression became more solemn.

"My opinion is very simple. You and I should use our respective spheres of influence as the standard, stop fighting immediately, and develop on our own."

"Based on the current sphere of influence, Sister Mingyue's actions are too much to ask." Yan Ruyan's face looked ugly. Over the years, the other party had taken away so much territory from the Guiling Sect. Those were real benefits.

Not to mention her, the entire Ghost Spirit Sect's top leaders would not agree. If she agreed now, she would immediately become a sinner of the sect. How would she convince others when she returned?

She couldn't help but look at Mo Juren again.

After all, the other party is the one who can make the final decision on this matter. If they fully support the Blood Killing Sect, then there is really nothing I can do.

"I won't force you to do anything. After all, this is something that both of us are willing to do. If my sister doesn't agree, can I still force you to do it?" Ge Mingyue sneered, with a hint of sarcasm in her words.

At this point, the other party still can't see the situation clearly? Or is it that they know the situation clearly, but just can't bear to give up those territories?
If it were in the past, she might have bargained with the other party, and in the end she would probably have to make a small concession and give up some of the territory she had already occupied.

But now it is different. The master has returned as a king, which has given her endless confidence. If she compromises at this time, it would be disrespectful to him.

"Sister, why would you force me to this extent!" Just as Ge Mingyue thought, how could a smart woman like Yan Ruyan not see the current situation clearly? She just felt unwilling to do so.

Seeing that the other party had no intention of making concessions, she could only compromise and play the emotional card.

She cried out "sister" in a tearful voice and her expression was so miserable that anyone who saw her would be softened by her heart. Fortunately, Ge Mingyue had been reminded by Mo Juren in advance and did not repeat the same mistake.

"You and I are negotiating, and we are representing the entire sect. Any decision we make is based on the interests of the sect. Therefore, there is no need for you to act, Sister Yan. Just get down to business."

Yan Ruyan finally understood everything. It was true that Ge Mingyue had a pure personality and was easily swayed by her emotions, so it was not difficult to deal with her. However, with Mo Juren's guidance, the situation would be completely different.

"Brother Mo, do you mean the same thing?" At this moment, she could only place her hope on Mo Juren. Only if the other party spoke up would Ge Mingyue have a chance to change his mind.

“If you are not as strong as others, you have to accept your fate. It is not shameful to admit that you have lost. If you practice hard in the future, you may have a chance to make a comeback.

If you know that you are not as skilled as others, but still fail to recognize the situation and want to fight for interests that do not belong to you, then you are a bit stupid. "Mo Juren said as he put down the tea bowl in his hand.
"What I just said is Mo's suggestion. It may not sound good, but it is the fact before us. As for whether to listen to it or not, it is up to your own decision."

"I..." Yan Ruyan opened her pink lips slightly, but ultimately did not continue to argue.

The other party's intention was very clear, which was to fully support the Blood Killing Sect. In that case, no matter how much I begged, I was afraid I would not get any satisfactory result.

Having said that, this result is actually not bad. At least the sect will not be destroyed. With the foundation of the Ghost Spirit Sect, it will be able to make a comeback one day.

Thinking in this way, I feel much more comfortable. As for other senior members of the sect, I believe that as long as they are explained reasonably, everyone will accept the reality.

Thinking of this, she immediately changed her mind and sighed bitterly,

"Brother Mo is right. It is true that I was confused and forgot the current situation. In this case, I will agree to Sister Mingyue's suggestion."

"Oh?" Mo Juren and Ge Mingyue looked at each other. Although they were a little surprised at how quickly the other party changed their attitude, they were not too surprised. Under the current situation, as long as the other party did not have a problem with his brain, it would be impossible for him to refuse.

Territory involves the greatest interests and is naturally the top priority. Once this matter is resolved, other aspects will naturally fall into place.

For example, the treatment of the Wang family and the corresponding compensation, etc., were also discussed and the results were reached not long after. Yan Ruyan also said goodbye with a "pale" face and left.

"Is it a bit too much for us to force the other party like this?" Looking away, Ge Mingyue asked with some concern.

"Are you worried about the revenge of the Ghost Spirit Sect?" Mo Juren laughed. Sure enough, Ge Mingyue did not deny it after hearing this. She continued,

"The Ghost Spirit Sect has a deep foundation, and in the past, it had more than one powerful Spiritualization Stage expert. It is far beyond the reach of the Blood Killing Sect. Now that you are here, and the other party is at a weak time, then naturally everything will be fine. However, once the other party rises again in the future, it will definitely launch a brutal revenge on the Blood Killing Sect."

“Nothing good in the world can be obtained without hard work. If you want to gain sufficient benefits, you must pay a corresponding price. This is an eternal and unchanging iron law.

Your Blood Killing Sect has taken advantage of the situation to rise, and has taken away too many benefits from the Ghost Spirit Sect. How can there be peace? Moreover, even if you compromise today and give up the benefits you have gained, will you be forgiven by the other party? "Mo Juren smiled coldly, but his words went straight to the point.

Of course, there are other solutions. For example, he could destroy the Ghost Spirit Sect himself, which would be the real way to eradicate the problem once and for all.

But then again, the reason why he supported the Blood Killing Sect, besides because he really disliked the Ghost Spirit Sect, was more because of Ge Mingyue.

The other party is his subordinate and one of his own, so he is willing to help.

But he had no feelings for the Blood Killing Sect. What did his relationship with the other party, whether they lived or died, have to do with him? How could he possibly destroy a large sect for the other party?
Not to mention the bad reputation, killing too many people will inevitably lead to huge consequences. He would only do that if he was crazy.

"It's impossible to forgive." Ge Mingyue shook her head. The Blood Killing Sect joined forces with the Demon Flame Sect and the Controlling Spirit Sect to take flesh from the Ghost Spirit Sect. Even if she compromised, it would be impossible for the other two sects.

If the Ghost Spirit Sect wants to take revenge in the future, the target can only be the Blood Killing Sect, not the Yuling Sect and the Demon Flame Sect.

The reason is clear as day, everything comes from strength. If the Blood Killing Sect has the same strength as the Yuling Sect and the Demon Flame Sect, how dare the Ghost Spirit Sect act recklessly?
"Thank you for your advice, Master. I understand. I will also devote all my efforts to cultivating the Blood Killing Sect in the future. Only by improving our strength can we solve the problem."

"I understand." Mo Juren laughed, but then changed the subject.

"Let's not talk about this for now. I'm here with you today for another important matter, which concerns the path of Taoism..."
