Mortals: Take Mo Juren at the start

"Originally, since the senior asked, I shouldn't hide it, but this beast tide is different from the previous ones. It is more related to the conspiracy of the upper echelons. Therefore, I am just following orders and cannot reveal a single thing." As if he had already expected the other party to ask this question, City Lord Ye looked very calm, and then he sighed lightly.

"So that's how it is. I won't ask any more questions then." Since the other party said so, Mo Juren was naturally tactful enough not to continue to inquire. However, there was a hint of something strange in his eyes, and then he returned to normal.

After continuing to communicate for a while, he decided not to stay any longer and immediately said goodbye.

City Lord Ye naturally had no objection, and immediately handed over a jade box with an ancient seal and a pass token, then stood up and personally delivered them to the outside of the mansion gate.

It was not until Mo Juren left with the things that the gentle and cheerful smile on City Lord Ye's face disappeared and became extremely gloomy.

He turned around and went back home slowly, but suddenly a cold rebuke sounded in his mind:

"That person's blood and energy are so strong, he is exactly the good material that the Lord needs. Why do you let him go, and even go to the Fengxue Sect to pass on the message? Are you planning to break the agreement?"

"This city lord will not go back on his word. As for other irrelevant matters, you don't need to worry about them." City Lord Ye's expression became increasingly cold, with undisguised murderous intent in his eyes.

"What? You want to attack me? Don't forget your family. Their lives are in the hands of the Lord." The voice showed no fear at all, but rather an undisguised threat.

As expected, upon hearing this, City Lord Ye's expression changed instantly, and after a long while he continued:

"I will abide by the agreement. Besides, if a war breaks out, there will be countless casualties. It won't make much difference whether that person is there or not. As for sending the letter, it was for other things and has nothing to do with this plan."

"How can I be sure whether what you said is true or not?" The voice clearly didn't believe it.

"Believe it or not is up to you. Also, don't forget that the man is a powerful cultivator in the Spirit Transformation Stage. Can we really stop him with our strength?" City Lord Ye smiled coldly, and upon hearing this, the voice suddenly fell silent.

This is indeed true. When he saw that person just now, he instinctively felt fear from the bottom of his heart. This situation has only occurred when facing the Lord.

That was why he had tried his best to hide his presence in the hall before, in order to prevent being noticed by the other party.

However, he was full of doubts in his heart. It was obvious that the man was only at the initial stage of the Spirit Transformation Realm, so why did he give him such a terrifying feeling? Could it be that he was hiding his cultivation level?

If this is true, we really can't act recklessly.

"Now that things have come to this, I will not pursue what happened just now. I just hope that you will not cause any more trouble in the future, so as not to disrupt the Lord's plan."

"Of course no problem." City Lord Ye remained expressionless and nodded slightly.

……

"It seems that things are a little complicated!" On the street, Mo Juren walked forward while thinking about something. With his spiritual sense, he knew everything in the City Lord's Mansion, but he just deliberately ignored it.

His primary goal was to leave as quickly as possible. No matter what conspiracy was hidden behind the beast tide, it had nothing to do with him and there was really no need for him to get involved.

The only pity was the two little girls. If he was not mistaken, they should both possess the rare 'Golden Moon Body'. This top-level golden physique was rare.

If their spiritual roots and aptitude are also good, they will definitely be disciples that all major sects will fight over, and two of them at once, even he could not help but be tempted.

However, he could only think about it. The other person had an extraordinary background and must know everything. If he really wanted to become a disciple, it would not be the turn of an unknown cultivator like him!

Suddenly he shook his head slightly, he no longer bothered about it, and then quickened his pace and rushed forward.

A moment later, he had returned to the Guangyuan Hall again. At this time, many people had already gathered in the square outside the hall, and the sound of discussion was heard one after another.

It is obvious that some people have no choice but to accept the order issued by the city lord, while some people are unwilling to buy into it and have come here to denounce it.

Soon a figure walked out of the hall. It was a middle-aged man in a green robe. He was not a body cultivator, but a cultivator in the late Jindan realm.

"My fellow Taoists, please be patient. The city lord has issued new regulations. You can take a look at them first. It won't be too late to discuss them later." While the middle-aged man was speaking, another person behind him had already taken a piece of paper and posted it nearby. There were no less than ten pieces of information listed on it.

Seeing this scene, everyone present was immediately attracted to the scene and then they rushed forward to surround it.

"Reward for hunting a level one monster..."

"Reward for hunting a level 2 monster..."

"..."

"Reward for hunting a level 7 monster..."

"Rewards for hunting a monster in the transformation stage..."

"Achieve the final victory reward..."

"..."

There were more than ten pieces of information, and none of them were related to lifting the blockade. Instead, they were all about the rewards for defending the city. Moreover, the rewards were much more generous than people expected, and everyone fell silent for a moment.

As the saying goes, money can make people happy. Previously, the teleportation array was suspended and the city was blocked, which naturally made everyone unhappy. But now, seeing such generous rewards, the unhappiness in their hearts suddenly disappeared.

Such obvious changes naturally fell into the eyes of the middle-aged man. A hidden smile flashed across his face, and then he said again with sincerity:

“This beast tide is unprecedented in scale. In order to protect Black Crystal City and the lives and safety of tens of millions of human compatriots in the city, the city lord had no choice but to issue an order to seal the city.

It is indeed inappropriate not to inform everyone in advance, so the city lord has thought of a way to compensate. If you are still not satisfied, you can raise it and I will report it to the city lord, and we will discuss it then.

If there are no objections, then disperse immediately and make final preparations. According to the news sent back, the monsters have already started their actions and will be outside the city by tomorrow night at the latest. Time is not enough. "

"Tomorrow, so soon!" Upon hearing the news, everyone present was shocked. With only a day and a night of buffer time, it seemed impossible to escape even if the city was lifted at this moment.

Now that things have come to this, it is meaningless to worry about any regulations. Instead, the right thing to do is to seize the last minute and prepare for the upcoming war.

When it comes to their own safety, how dare they waste any more time? Someone immediately turned around and left, followed by the second, the third... until a moment later, almost everyone had left.

Seeing this scene, the middle-aged man was naturally very satisfied. When he was about to return to the hall, he suddenly noticed that there was still a figure standing not far away.

He looked unfamiliar, and there was no sign of his cultivation at all, but the aura he exuded was extremely extraordinary, which made him a little puzzled.

"My fellow Taoist..." The middle-aged man greeted him politely. When he was about to continue asking questions, he suddenly saw the other party shaking his hand, in which he was tightly holding a token.

The moment he saw the token, his expression suddenly changed and a smile appeared on his face.

"This is not the place to talk, please come into the hall and have a chat."

… A white light flashed by, and when Mo Juren opened his eyes again, he found himself in another spacious hall.

There were no less than a dozen teleportation arrays lined up side by side around, and in an open space not far away, there were two cultivators sitting cross-legged, but their cultivation was only at the Foundation Establishment stage.

Seeing someone teleporting over, especially one with such an extraordinary aura, the two naturally did not dare to be negligent and immediately took the initiative to step forward and greet:

"Welcome to Siyang City, Senior. Is there anything I can do for you?"

"Is it possible to use the teleportation array to Luoshui City?" Mo Juren stepped out and then glanced around and asked.

"Of course it can be used. Senior, do you want to continue transmitting?"

"It's good that it works. As for teleportation, there's no rush. Let's talk about it after some time." Mo Juren waved his hand, and without paying any more attention to the two of them, he went straight out of the hall.

Compared to Black Crystal City, Siyang City is obviously much smaller in scale. In addition, there is no beast tide happening here, so the atmosphere on the streets is very relaxed.

However, the temperature here is obviously a bit low. Except for the monks and body cultivators, most of the ordinary people are dressed warmly.

Mo Juren had no intention of strolling around, but directly took out the map jade slip to confirm the direction of Fengxue Sect, and then walked out of the city.

Not long after, a beam of light rose into the sky and flew straight to the north.

According to the map, Fengxue Sect is located in the Arctic Ice Mountains, about thousands of miles north of Siyang City.

As the name suggests, this is a special mountain range with a cold climate and covered with ice and snow all year round. Its area is not large, but it still stretches for hundreds of thousands of miles.

There are a large number of monsters living in the mountains, most of which have icy attributes, and quite a few have reached level six or seven. Coupled with the advantage of ice and snow, their combat power is greatly enhanced.

In this situation, it is extremely dangerous to enter without a certain level of strength.

However, the peculiar thing is that the human power of the Fengxue Sect is headquartered in the deepest part of the Polar Ice Mountains and is surrounded by a large number of monsters.

The strength of Fengxue Sect is not that high. The sect leader, 'Zhenren Binghua', has only reached the initial stage of Refining Void. Besides, many elders under his command have only reached the stage of Transformation of the Spirit.

However, even so, it was easy to wipe out all the high-level monsters in the Arctic Mountains.

But the reality is that the Fengxue Sect did not do so at all. Instead, they allowed these monsters to live and multiply.

This made Mo Juren suspect that the other party did it on purpose.

So many monsters are like a natural barrier, turning the entire Ice Mountain Range into a restricted area. Outsiders dare not enter rashly, but the Fengxue Sect can enjoy it alone.

The distance of more than 7,000 miles was nothing to Mo Juren, and he arrived there in just over an hour.

At this moment, he clearly felt that the temperature around him was dropping rapidly, and the sky and the earth were filled with wind and snow, making it look like a world of ice and snow.

In front of us is the Extreme Ice Mountain Range. As far as the eye can see, there are endless dangerous peaks and valleys, all covered with thick ice and snow, with no end in sight.

Mo Juren had to admit that the scenery here was very nice. If he had free time, he could stay for a while to appreciate it.

Unfortunately, he didn't want to waste time at this moment, so he quickly delivered the letter and left again.

Thinking of this, he did not delay any longer and flew towards the mountain immediately. Unexpectedly, after flying for just a short while, only a few hundred miles, his consciousness suddenly sensed something and his escape light suddenly stopped.

He suddenly looked down at a valley below and frowned slightly. Without hesitation, he changed direction and fell straight into the depths of the valley.

Soon he flew to the front of a mountain wall, and unexpectedly saw a figure lying on the ground next to the mountain wall.

She was a beautiful woman, wearing a moonlit nightgown dress, but it was a little torn and stained with blood. Her face was as pale as paper, her breathing was weak, and she was almost in a dying state.

Most of the woman's body had already been buried by ice and snow. If he hadn't happened to notice it, he might have missed it.

Since he was not dead yet, Mo Juren would certainly not stand by and watch him die. He immediately planned to lean forward and carefully check the other person's condition.

However, at this moment, his spiritual consciousness suddenly sensed something again, and then he looked towards a certain place in the air.

"Interesting!" Mo Juren chuckled, with some vague guesses in his mind. An ochre-colored light instantly spread around his body, enveloping the woman and disappearing directly into the ground.

At the same time, a magical power emerged, causing the surrounding ground to be quickly tidied up, and there was no sign of anything abnormal.

About a moment later, more than a dozen figures broke through the air, both men and women, all dressed in white. The two men in the lead were slightly older, and their cultivation was at the initial stage of the Spirit Transformation Realm.

The team suddenly stopped, and the two leading people released their spiritual sense to explore for a while, obviously looking for something, but unfortunately they found nothing after searching for several times.

"The traitor was hit by the 'Heart-breaking Palm' from the sect leader and was already seriously injured and dying. How could he escape so quickly?" One of the men frowned.

"After all, she is the daughter of the previous sect leader, so it's not surprising that she has some hidden cards. However, with the injuries she suffered, she won't live long even if she escapes temporarily." The other person shook his head slightly.

"But the sect leader has already issued a death order. If he is dead, he must be found dead. This..." The man suddenly whispered to the person next to him, but the latter smiled and responded with the same voice.

"It's true that the Sect Master gave the order, but we just need to do our best. If we really can't find it, there's nothing we can do. I don't think he will blame us too much."

“That’s true…”

The two of them communicated secretly, and without further delay, they led the team away and continued searching other places.

At this time, under the ground, Mo Juren did not return to the ground, but directly took out a pill and fed it to the woman, and then continued to escape underground with her.

It was not until a moment later, when it had reached a depth of ten thousand feet, that it suddenly stopped.

Looking at the woman again, the effect of the pill was clearly beginning to take effect. Her face was no longer pale, but she still showed no signs of waking up.

Mo Juren did not delay and started checking immediately.

While checking, he couldn't help but shake his head slightly. He just came here to deliver a letter, but he didn't expect to encounter such a bloody incident of internal fighting within the sect. It was really a bit ridiculous.

As for whether saving this girl was a good thing or a bad thing, it was still uncertain at the moment, but he didn't care much. After all, Binghua Zhenren was only in the early stage of refining emptiness and could not threaten his safety. (End of this chapter)
