Mortals: Take Mo Juren at the start

Chapter 1152 Crisis and Response

Not long after, Mo Juren brought Xiao Ya to the central area of ​​Lingyi City, and then stopped in front of a mansion.

The city lord's mansion is in front of us. As a super city, its scale is far beyond the reach of ordinary cities.

He could clearly sense that the entire mansion was shrouded in an invisible restriction.

This was obviously some kind of formation. He didn't know what type it was or how powerful it was, but its ability to shield spiritual consciousness was extremely strong. At least with the strength of his spiritual consciousness, he could not sense anything happening inside.

There are several guards on both sides of the main gate. They have no cultivation, but the majestic energy and blood power is enough to prove that they are all high-level body cultivators.

Perhaps they had been instructed in advance, after Mo Juren explained his purpose, they did not have any doubts, and one of them even went straight into the door at a very fast speed.

Not long after, the other party returned again, with an old man following behind him.

"I am Zuo Shan, the steward of the City Lord's Mansion. Nice to meet this fellow Taoist."

"It turns out to be Brother Zuo, I've long heard of you!" Mo Juren nodded slightly, but he was a little surprised in his heart. The other party's cultivation had reached the initial stage of the Spirit Transformation Realm, but he was just a housekeeper. It was really rare.

However, considering that the Lord of Lingyi City was a powerful man at the late stage of the Refinement Void Realm, it didn't seem strange that the housekeeper had the cultivation level of the Spirit Transformation Realm.

"Senior, you have been waiting for a long time. Please follow me, fellow Taoist!"

"Senior?" Mo Juren's heart moved, and he followed the other party and asked tentatively.

"I wonder if Brother Zuo could tell me a thing or two about who this senior is that you're talking about?"

"Uh, fellow Daoist, you don't know it yourself?" The old man was stunned for a moment, but then he reacted.

"That senior's status is too noble, so I'd better not say anything more. When we meet later, you will naturally know everything clearly."

"All right!"

Since the other party had said so, Mo Juren naturally couldn't continue to force it, but he kept analyzing it in his mind.

Judging from the momentum of the previous voice transmission and the old man’s attitude, it can be confirmed that the person who wants to see him is definitely not the female deputy city lord, but if it is not this woman, then who could it be?

Entering the City Lord's Mansion, what comes into view is a huge garden, with small bridges, flowing water, pavilions and towers. The concentration of spiritual energy in it is also very high. It seems that there must be a top-grade spiritual vein underground.

I couldn't sense anything when I was outside just now. It must be because of the formation set up in the City Lord's Mansion, which gathered all the spiritual energy generated by the spiritual vein in the mansion without letting it leak out.

The area of ​​the mansion was also very large. Mo Juren followed the old man through several corridors before finally arriving at an independent garden.

At this time, the old man tactfully gave a warning and then took the initiative to withdraw, leaving Mo Juren and Xiao Ya standing still at the garden gate.

"Since we're here, come in!" At this moment, the voice of the strange woman came again. Mo Juren naturally did not dare to hesitate, and immediately walked in with Xiao Ya.

The area of ​​this garden is also not small, and there are countless exotic flowers and plants. In addition, the place is rich in spiritual energy, which makes many flowers and plants grow extremely lush.

It is the time when flowers are in full bloom, and the air is filled with the fragrance of various kinds of flowers, but it does not seem chaotic, but rather refreshing.

Walking slowly along the gravel path, we soon arrived at the central area of ​​the garden.

There is an artificial lake here, and not far away there is a white jade pavilion. At this moment, there is a beautiful figure sitting alone in the pavilion.

She was a strange woman with a naturally beautiful face and a cold and aloof temperament.

What shocked Mo Juren the most was that he could not sense any magical power from the other party.

"Fusion realm!" At this point, Mo Juren was completely sure of his previous guess. Only a strong person in the fusion realm could possess such powerful strength.

However, he was increasingly confused. The other party should not know him, so why did he notice him? And what was the purpose of calling him over?

With complicated thoughts in mind, the two walked straight into the pavilion.

"I'm Mo Juren, the junior. This is my niece Su Miaoyin. Nice to meet you, senior!" Mo Juren bowed respectfully together with the little girl without any hesitation.

Hearing this, the cold woman was suddenly stunned, and her eyes fell directly on the little girl.

"Su Miaoyin? What is your relationship with Lingyue Zhenren?"

"Senior, do you recognize my master?" The little girl was slightly surprised, and then asked the other party curiously.

"It's you!" The cold woman smiled suddenly.

"I have known your master for many years and we have some friendship. I have heard before that he accepted a closed disciple, who seems to be called Su Miaoyin.

"You must be extraordinary to be valued by Daoist Fellow Lingyue. I have long wanted to meet you, but I didn't expect to get my wish today."

"Thank you for your concern, senior. It is my blessing to meet you today." Hearing that it was her master's good friend, the little girl was immediately delighted, and then said with a bright smile.

"It's not clear whether you are extraordinary or not, but you have a very sweet mouth." The cold woman shook her head slightly.

"Since you are Fellow Daoist Lingyue's last disciple, there is no need for you to call me senior. Just call me 'Uncle Master'."

"Ah... OK, disciple greets uncle-master!"

"Not bad!"

Obviously, after learning about Xiao Ya's identity, the cold woman's mood became very good. She directly pulled the other party to her side and started to have a friendly conversation with her.

As for Mo Juren, he was completely left aside, as if he had been completely forgotten.

He didn't care about it at all. He was a little nervous at first, not knowing what the other party's purpose was in calling him over. But now that he had a relationship with Xiao Ya, he didn't have to worry anymore.

The little girl was obviously very smart. She behaved very well and spoke sweetly while chatting with the cold woman, which immediately made the other party even happier.

Suddenly, the cold woman thought of something, and her fair jade palm gently turned over, and suddenly a half-foot long jade box appeared on the table.

"You are a pretty good girl. You are really a bargain for old Lingyue. Since we meet for the first time today, I will give you a gift. Open it and see if you like it."

"No need, Uncle..." Xiao Ya was naturally a little surprised to receive a gift. She wanted to refuse it, but was interrupted by the former.

"Take it if you give it to me. If you don't accept it, it would be a disrespect to my uncle."

"Well... okay!" Since the other party said so, Xiao Ya naturally couldn't continue to refuse. She thanked him again and then slowly opened the box.

Accompanied by a dazzling golden light, a golden jade hairpin about half a foot long suddenly came into view.

This hairpin is not only carved with a lifelike phoenix pattern on the top, but also has densely packed and fine runes all over the surface. Golden light flows between the lines, and it is obvious at first glance that it is not an ordinary object.

The moment she saw the golden hairpin, Xiao Ya immediately liked it. However, when she was about to reach out and pick it up, the golden hairpin trembled slightly, and then turned into a golden light and flew into the air, circling in the air at a high speed. "This..." Seeing this scene, not only Xiao Ya, but also Mo Juren was surprised.

It is obvious that this golden hairpin has been given spirituality, and this alone is enough to prove its extraordinary nature.

At this moment, the cold woman raised her hand and took the golden hairpin into her palm, then smiled and said:

“I got this golden phoenix hairpin by chance in the past. It is not just an ornament, but a genuine top-grade magic weapon. Whether it is for attack or defense, it has a power that cannot be underestimated.

More importantly, this hairpin is not a dead object, but can continue to grow through constant cultivation and refinement..."

"So that's how it is." Xiao Ya suddenly understood and continued,

"It seems to repel me?"

"The Golden Phoenix Hairpin is already spiritual. You haven't completely refined it yet, so it will naturally be rejected..." The cold woman laughed and then explained the method of refining.

After listening, the little girl nodded slightly, then raised her hand and pointed. Immediately, a drop of blood flew out and sank directly into the golden hairpin.

Miraculously enough, after absorbing the essence and blood, the golden hairpin no longer rejected it. Instead, it allowed the little girl to take it. It then left the pavilion and walked to a flat place to start concentrating on refining it.

At this moment, in the pavilion, the cold woman finally looked at Mo Juren:

"I am very curious, what good things did you get in that secret realm that made Qin Wushuang chase after you so relentlessly?"

"It's nothing, I just got a special inner elixir by chance." Mo Juren naturally didn't want to tell the other party the truth, so he just replied ambiguously.

As for Qin Wushuang mentioned by the other party, he should be the gorgeous young man. However, I didn’t expect that the person in front of me knew everything about this matter. It was really a bit unexpected.

If he remembered correctly, whether he was inside the secret realm before or while escaping afterwards, he seemed to have never encountered a strong man in the fusion realm. How did the other party know?

"Inner elixir!" Upon hearing this, the cold woman narrowed her eyes slightly.

"It seems that this is not an ordinary inner elixir, otherwise Qin wouldn't be so persistent."

"It seems that the inner elixir will be of great use to him!" Mo Juren smiled and didn't want to continue discussing this matter. Instead, he immediately changed the subject.

"Senior, you suddenly called me over here. What's the matter?"

"What's the matter?" The cold woman glanced in a certain direction seemingly casually, and then said meaningfully,

"To save your life, of course."

"Uh, what do you mean by that, Senior?" Mo Juren was immediately puzzled. Apart from Qin Wushuang, he didn't seem to have offended any powerful enemies, right? How could his life be in danger?

"Lord of the Wanku Mountains, do you know?" Speaking of business, the cold woman suddenly became serious.

"Lord of the Wanku Mountains?" Mo Juren was stunned for a moment, then nodded slightly.

"I have heard something about this, but that's all. It seems I haven't offended him, right?"

"The Lord of Wanku Mountain is named Qin Liuyue. He is the seventh elder of the Sky Fox Clan and is currently in Lingyi City. The Qin Wushuang who is relentlessly pursuing you is his direct descendant."

"There is such a thing?" Mo Juren was stunned.

"Senior, do you mean that the other party will attack me for Qin Wushuang?"

"I will definitely attack you, but it's not because of Qin Wushuang."

"Not for Qin Wushuang? Why? I haven't even seen him, let alone offended him. You wouldn't want to kill me just because you don't like me, right?"

"It's not that I don't like it, on the contrary, it's too pleasing to the eye..."

Having said this, the cold woman suddenly sighed, stopped beating around the bush, and began to tell the whole story.

"Qin Liuyue was born in the Sky Fox Clan. Her main cultivation technique is the way of love. She especially likes to attack strong and handsome human men..."

After some explanation, Mo Juren finally understood what was going on and his expression suddenly became extremely solemn.

He even thought of the reminder Su Ziru had given him when she left, and it seemed that she had specifically pointed this out.

Originally he was still hoping that his luck wouldn't be that bad and he would really meet the other person.

Unexpectedly, what I wished for came true and I was really targeted by him.

"You shouldn't have come back." The cold woman sighed again.

“Before the Hidden Dragon Lake Secret Realm was opened, I was sitting on a mountaintop with him, and I happened to witness Qin Wushuang chasing after you.

At that time, the other party had already had feelings for you, but because of my restraint, he had to give up the idea.

If you left at this point, the matter would have ended there, but you came back and the other party would definitely not be able to hide it from you.

Based on my understanding of that woman, if we meet again, she will definitely not let you go. Once you leave Lingyi City, you will most likely be in her clutches."

"Please tell me, senior, how I should deal with this?" At this point, Mo Juren naturally did not dare to be careless and immediately asked respectfully.

"There is no better way at the moment. You can only stay with me temporarily and wait until the other party gives up on his own initiative." The cold woman shook her head slightly, paused, and continued,

"It's not that serious. If you delay it for a while, the other party will see that it's impossible and will definitely give up the idea. After all, she can't keep wasting time on you.

Of course, your origins don't seem to be simple, even your spirit beast is a dragon of the Refining Void level. If there is some big shot backing you up, just let him come out and intimidate you. I think Qin Liuyue will also make some considerations."

After hearing these words, Mo Juren suddenly became thoughtful. There was nothing wrong with following the other party, and it could even prevent Qin Wushuang from chasing him at the same time.

The key is that there is no way to determine how long the witch will persist. If she never gives up, does she still need to be protected?

As for his own origins, the other party had misunderstood this. He did not have any origins, but he did have a backing, whether it was Hua Qingyao or Senior Qinghua.

If he knew about my situation, I think he would definitely not stand idly by.

That’s not right. Hua Qingyao shouldn’t be able to do that. She is a traitor of the Sky Fox Clan. If she knew her relationship with me, things might become more troublesome.

When Su Ziru mentioned Qin Liuyue before, there was no intention of being close to her, which shows that the relationship between the two was not harmonious.

On the contrary, Senior Qinghua is absolutely famous in the entire cultivation world. Moreover, his cultivation is in the middle stage of fusion, which makes him an absolutely influential person.

If he were to be brought out, Qin Liuyue would surely have some reservations, right? (End of this chapter)
