Mortals: Take Mo Juren at the start

The so-called Tianmuling is actually a mountain range that stretches over 100,000 miles.

Unlike Wufeng Mountain, Tianmuling has a good spiritual environment and relatively abundant resources, so there are many monsters lurking here. Although most of them are low-level monsters, high-level ones also exist.

It is rumored that there is a powerful demon living in seclusion deep in Tianmuling. I don’t know if it is true or not?

But think about it, this is an area where human forces have the upper hand, but there is such a gathering area for demons, and it has never been taken away for so many years.

This shows that there must be some unknown reasons.

This is not a restricted area. Many monks and body cultivators often enter here to search for resources, hunt monsters, etc., but most of them are active in the outer area and there is not much danger.

As for the depths of Tianmuling, no one dared to enter.

After spending half a month, Mo Juren brought Xiao Ya to a place called 'Liuyue City'. Although it was called a city, it was essentially just a market town.

The area here is not large, but because it is the best entrance to Tianmuling, a large number of merchants gather here. Many monks and body cultivators who enter the mountains usually choose to stay here to trade, etc.

"Shuiyunzhai!" Somewhere on the street, Mo Juren suddenly stopped, glanced at the name of the shop in front of him, and then walked in with the little girl.

This shop is not big, but there are many customers coming and going, and it is obvious that business is very prosperous.

"Welcome to our store, what can I order?" As soon as Fang walked into the first floor lobby, a smart waiter came up to greet him.

"Buy a topographic map of the interior of Tianmuling, right?" Mo Juren did not beat around the bush and directly stated his purpose.

"Of course there are, but they only cover the outer areas." When the waiter heard that a topographic map was needed, there was no surprise on his face. After all, most of the guests who came here had similar needs.

"It's okay, have one." Mo Juren had not originally planned to explore deep into Tianmuling, the outer area was enough.

"Please wait a moment, dear guest." The waiter nodded and hurried to the counter. After a while, he returned with a jade slip and handed it forward respectfully, saying,

"This is it, and it's a version that was just updated not long ago. I can guarantee that the quality of our Tianmuling topographic map is among the best in the entire Liuyue City."

"Very good, how many spirit stones?"

"..."

……

After buying the topographic map, Mo Juren took Xiao Ya directly out of the store.

He slowly released his spiritual sense and glanced towards somewhere behind him. A sneer suddenly flashed in his eyes.

He continued to move forward with Xiao Ya and soon walked out of the exit at the other end of Liuyue City. There were many cultivators and body cultivators accompanying them, and it was obvious that they all wanted to enter Tianmuling.

"My friend, there are many monsters in Tianmuling, and even in the outer areas, there are often dangers. I wonder if you would like to travel with us?" At this moment, a burly man with a deep voice suddenly came up and made an invitation. Behind him were seven or eight people, most of them body cultivators, and there were also two foundation-building cultivators.

"I appreciate your kindness, brother, but I have important matters to attend to, so I will not go with you." Mo Juren smiled slightly, but directly rejected the other party.

"In that case, let it go. However, several strange things have happened in Tianmuling recently, and many cultivators and body cultivators have lost their lives. Brother Mo, you must be more careful when bringing a child like this in." The burly man had a cheerful personality. Even if the other party did not agree, he still gave a reminder.

"Strange things!" Mo Juren looked slightly surprised and asked again,
"What exactly happened? Can you tell me in detail?"

"Brother Mo looks a little unfamiliar. This must be your first time here. It's normal that you don't know these things." The burly man did not refuse and started to talk directly.

“This story started half a year ago. At that time, a group of physical practitioners went into the mountains to search for resources, but they met with disaster for unknown reasons. In the end, only one person managed to escape.

The man also explained the situation in great fear, but everyone didn't believe it at first, and even speculated that the other party was robbing his fellow thieves and plotting against other people in his group.

That person was even hunted down by many people because of this.

However, just one month later, the same thing happened again. It was another small team, and more than a dozen people died mysteriously, with only one or two people escaping back..."

Through the burly man's narration, Mo Juren finally understood everything.

Since half a year ago, a total of five similar incidents have occurred. Each time, many people died and only a few were able to return.

Of course, this is not the point. The key point is that the people who escaped only knew that they encountered an unknown terrorist attack when they were resting at night, but they could not tell who the enemy was, whether it was one or more, how they succeeded, etc.

"Ever since these strange things happened, the entire Liuyue City has become somewhat panic-stricken, and fewer people are entering the mountains to search for resources. Even if they want to enter, they must gather more people, and especially they must be accompanied by cultivators, so that safety can be guaranteed to a greater extent." The burly man sighed, and his words once again revealed an invitation.

"Thank you for clearing up my doubts, but I only move around in the marginal areas, so I think there should be no problem. I'll go ahead." Mo Juren bowed, then took the little girl into the mountains.

Seeing this scene, the burly man could no longer stop them and could only return to the team with a look of regret.

"Where did this fool come from? He chose not to travel with others even though he knew there was danger. He insisted on going alone. Is there something wrong with his brain?" Seeing the two people walking away, a thin man suddenly said with a sneer.

"Who knows? Maybe he has something to rely on?"

"What can he rely on? If he really had an extraordinary background and a powerful force behind him, he would not have come to explore Tianmu Ridge alone, and brought a ten-year-old kid with him. It's no different from seeking death!"

"It's a bit strange indeed, but since they don't want to be together, we can't force them. We can just find someone else."

"..."

While a few people were chatting, they did not notice that an old man in a black robe with white hair slowly approached, and then gradually moved away, also heading towards the mountain.

……

"Is the strange thing that person just mentioned dangerous?"

An unknown amount of time had passed before they arrived at a strange place. The surrounding environment became increasingly quiet, which made the little girl feel a little scared instinctively. She suddenly shook Mo Juren's hand beside her and asked softly.

"Don't worry, it's okay." Mo Juren smiled and gave the other person a comforting look. As expected, after hearing this, the little girl was no longer afraid, and then changed the subject.

"We have been here for quite some time. Do we still need to go deeper?"

"Of course I do..." Mo Juren glanced behind him inadvertently, then smiled coldly.
"You will inevitably encounter monsters later, but don't take action this time. I will take care of everything."

"Okay then." Hearing that she couldn't do it herself, Xiaoya felt a little regretful, but she didn't insist and nodded her head obediently. Mo Juren didn't delay any longer and hugged her in his arms, then rushed towards the depths of the mountain like an arrow from a bow.

About ten miles behind, the old man in black robe who was walking leisurely and leisurely suddenly looked startled and then frowned.

What happened? Why did the target suddenly accelerate?

The other party is just a body cultivator. His body is strong, but his spiritual awareness is too weak. It is impossible for him to detect me. Under such circumstances, he still went towards the depths of Tianmuling. It was really strange.

Although Tianmuling is not a forbidden area, it is still dangerous, especially the deepest core area, which even he dare not enter rashly.

The other party was so reckless. If he lost his life because of it, I would have a hard time explaining myself when I return.

However, the opponent's speed was nothing to him. Besides, this place was still in the outer area after all, so he naturally did not plan to show up immediately.

Besides, the other party may not really enter the deepest part. Maybe it will just speed up temporarily. When it really reaches the critical moment, it will not be too late to stop it in time.

As he thought this, he also increased his speed slightly and continued to follow.

Just as he expected, the target did not advance blindly towards the depths of Tianmuling, but changed direction from time to time, which also made him feel relieved.

It’s okay as long as you don’t go crazy. As long as you stay in the outer area, the danger can be controlled.

6◇9◇Book◇Bar

However, as time passed, the situation gradually changed. It was not known whether it was intentional or bad luck, but the other party would encounter monsters from time to time along the route he was traveling.

It was very common at first, but as we went deeper, more and more high-level monsters appeared.

This scared the old man. After all, he was only at the initial stage of Jindan. If he really encountered a monster above level five, he would be powerless.

Although there are not many high-level monsters in Tianmuling, there are some. Most of them live in deep waters, but it is not surprising that one or two occasionally run out.

Not to mention a level five monster, even if it was a level four one, he wouldn't be able to afford to offend them if there were too many of them!
In comparison, the opponent's strength is much stronger. It is said that he has practiced the "Vajra Sutra" to the fifth level and is able to fight against a fifth-level monster purely with his physical body.

"We can't go on like this, we must stop the other party." Somewhere in the mountains, the old man frowned. He was here to follow, not to risk his life. It would not benefit anyone if the other party acted like this.

Thinking of this, he immediately turned into a beam of light and chased after him. However, in just a breath of time, his face suddenly became stunned.

For some reason, the aura of the two people in front of him suddenly disappeared inexplicably. Even though he released his spiritual sense to investigate, there was still no trace of any clues.

"How is this possible?" The old man's face was full of disbelief, and worry instantly rose in his heart. He quickly increased his escape technique to the extreme, and in just a moment he arrived at the place where he disappeared.

There was a vast dense forest in front of the sight, with no end in sight. What was even more strange was that the dense forest was filled with unknown gray fog, which not only blocked the sight but also greatly affected the spiritual consciousness, making it difficult to explore into it.

"Did he run in?" The old man had an unpleasant expression on his face, cursing in his heart, could this Mo be a pig-brained guy, knowing that the dense forest in front of him was unusual, yet he still wanted to go in?

He was only here to follow someone on a mission, but he was unwilling to take risks. Moreover, his instinct also reminded him that he must not enter this dense forest.

"What should I do?" The old man paced back and forth, feeling even more hesitant. If he did nothing, the other party would most likely die, but if he followed in, something might happen to him as well.

After struggling for a long time, he finally gave up. Life was the most important thing, and he could just let everything else take its course.

But he didn't leave either. After all, the other party had just gone in not long ago. Maybe he could come out?

He directly found a secluded location, first set up a simple breath-suppressing formation, then sat cross-legged and waited patiently.

At the same time, somewhere about a few miles away, Mo Juren was holding Xiao Ya and walking quickly with a smile on his face, apparently heading towards the direction of Liuyue City.

The plan has been completed, so he naturally does not intend to delay any longer. He must hurry to leave Tianmuling and rush to Yueyang City.

To be honest, the appearance of the dense forest was somewhat beyond his expectations. He had been thinking of using other methods to confuse the other party, but now it is easier.

As for the old man, he would not leave until it was confirmed that he was really in trouble. Even if the news was sent back to the Chongzhou branch and people were sent to search for him, it would still take time.

This should be enough for him to reach Yunhua City smoothly.

Besides, they might not necessarily send anyone to search for him. When they find out that he was in trouble, they might just give up. That would be much simpler, and he would also completely cut off all ties with the Tianxiang Sect.

In short, no matter what the situation is, he has now theoretically regained his freedom.

Of course, even so, he still didn't dare to completely relax. After all, nothing in the world is ever foolproof. No matter how good the plan is, it cannot stop changes. It is possible that some accidents will occur.

The Tianxiang Sect is a behemoth with countless powerful people and methods beyond imagination. Does anyone know if there is any way to figure out his situation?

Therefore, before it is completely safe, he must rush to Yueyang City as quickly as possible and then leave on a large flying boat without any delay.

Time flies, and January has passed in the blink of an eye.

Mo Juren finally arrived at the "long-awaited" Yueyang City. He had no mood to travel at all and went straight to a shop that provided long-distance transportation services.

Guangtong Commercial Bank, whose name means "connecting the world", is the only business alliance here that undertakes this kind of service.

After learning more about it, I found out that there are not too many flying boats for long-distance transportation, and there is only one trip every six months.

Fortunately, he was lucky this time. The next trip would be three days later, and the final destination happened to be Yunhua City in the northern area of ​​Xuanwu Territory.

Upon learning this, Mo Juren was naturally very happy. He paid the spirit stones immediately and then waited patiently.

……

Time goes back to half a month ago. In Tianmuling, the old man who had been waiting for a long time outside the dense forest suddenly opened his eyes and then looked up at the sky.

I saw two beams of light breaking through the air and landing in front of me in a blink of an eye.

The visitors were two women, one of whom was Zhou Hong'e, and the other was wearing a purple palace skirt with a veil covering her face, and her pair of crystal clear jade feet were naked.

Although her face could not be seen clearly, every move of this woman revealed endless charm.

The moment he saw the purple-clothed woman, the old man's expression suddenly changed. He quickly stood up and saluted with extreme respect:
"Greetings, Lord Zuoshi!" (End of this chapter)
