Mortals: Take Mo Juren at the start

Xuanwu Realm, Lingyi City.

Mo Juren was no stranger to this city, as many of his current troubles started from here.

Lingyi City has pleasant scenery and is quite famous locally, especially the Yinlong Lake, more than 10,000 miles west of the city, which is one of the best tourist attractions in Xuanwu Realm.

More than ten years ago, the 'Ice Dragon Secret Realm' suddenly appeared, making this place more and more famous, and everyone in the three realms and seven places knew about it.

This also led to a sharp increase in the number of monks coming to explore, and the entire Lingyi City became more and more lively.

At this moment, three figures were floating in the sky above Yinlong Lake. They were Mo Juren, Xiao Yunhuang, and the Tianli beast that followed them.

However, looking at everything familiar below, Mo Juren had no intention of revisiting the old place. Instead, his face looked solemn.

"I have heard of this lake in the past, but I didn't expect that the rumors were not just rumors. There really is a real dragon in this lake!" Xiao Yunhuang said in surprise as he looked at the dense crowd below.

"I didn't expect that coming to Lingyi City and breaking into the secret realm were just a coincidence." Mo Juren nodded, thinking about the scene that day. If he had not entered the secret realm and taken away the dragon ball, the subsequent events would not have happened.

It’s not that he regretted it, he was just worried about Zi Dian’s current situation. The origin of the Dragon Ball was in his body, who knew what those two monsters would do to him?
It can be said that every quarter of an hour of delay may mean the other party’s life is in danger.

To be honest, after Yunque City, he no longer sensed the whereabouts of the two monsters, which was why he had to choose to come to Lingyi City.

The reason is very simple. They are heading for the 'Wan Ku Mountains' in the north, which is Qin Liuyue's base camp. If the inference is correct, there is a great probability that the other party will go back.

But in the final analysis, these are just guesses, and he cannot be sure whether they are correct or not, so he is always unable to calm down deep in his heart.

He turned his head to look at the Tianli beast next to him. If it weren't for the other party's request, he would not have planned to come to this Yinlong Lake to waste time. However, since the other party asked, he could only agree.

"Senior, we..." Seeing that the other party was staring at the lake below, Mo Juren hurriedly reminded him in a low voice. However, upon hearing this, the Tianli Beast just gently touched his daughter in his arms, then shook his head slightly.

"Take your time, wait a moment."

"Wait?" Mo Juren was a little puzzled, but he heard the other party explain again,
"I know you are worried and confused, but you can't lose your mind because of this! Don't forget where the Wanku Mountains are. It is not only Qin Liuyue's lair, but also one of the key areas of the Sky Fox Clan. How can it be that simple?

As far as I know, there are countless fox monsters living in this mountain range. There are more than dozens of them at the virtual refining level alone, and there are countless those below the virtual refining level.

Of course, that’s all. I don’t really care about it, but as the fox clan’s sphere of influence, there must be a teleportation array between that place and the sky fox clan’s core territory.

This also means that if an emergency occurs, support can be obtained in time. In this case, even I cannot force my way through.

Although I have some strength, I am not invincible, especially when facing a super clan like the Sky Fox. Not to mention the Sky Fox King who has already reached the peak level of the late fusion, there are also several other elders who have reached the late fusion realm.

Knowing this, do you still think this is easy? "

"This..." After hearing the other party's explanation, Mo Juren finally understood the seriousness of the matter. It can be said that he had already lost the initiative by failing to intercept the other party on the way.

"So what are you going to do, senior?" When it comes to the contest between powerful people in the fusion realm, Mo Juren has no qualifications to intervene with his strength. He can only rely on the other party for everything.

"It's indeed difficult to say, but it's also very simple to say." Tianli Beast laughed and continued,
"If the hard way doesn't work, then try the soft way. If the overt way doesn't work, then try the covert way. It's nothing more than changing your mindset."

"Softly, secretly, what is your plan, senior?" Mo Juren suddenly thought of something, and his eyes suddenly lit up. The other party's meaning was very clear. It was obvious that he did not intend to rob openly, but to steal secretly instead.

With the other party's strength in the late stage of fusion, it would be much easier for him to sneak into the Wanku Mountains quietly and then rescue Zi Dian.

"Don't be happy too soon. The situation of the Wanku Mountain Range is extremely complicated. It is well-known in the entire Three Realms and Seven Lands. You can tell from the name that there are so many caves inside that it can be described as a dense forest. There are countless types of restrictions in it. Even for me, it is not easy to sneak into it easily."

"Is it so difficult to deal with?" Mo Juren was also a little surprised.

"It's more than difficult!" Tianli Beast shook his head slightly and continued,

"All the above difficulties are only secondary. The key is that the hostage is in the hands of the other party, so we need to consider more. But you don't need to worry too much. On the way here, I have already notified a good friend and borrowed a special treasure from him. As long as we have this thing in hand, this matter will be foolproof."

"Exotic treasure!" Mo Juren was slightly surprised, and he was even more curious about what kind of treasure it was? Why would a powerful person in the late stage of fusion pay so much attention to it?

However, since the other party did not reveal it voluntarily, he did not ask too much. Soon, several people flew to the top of a mountain and waited patiently.

Time passed quickly, and the person they were waiting for arrived after just one day. However, he was not the good friend mentioned by the Tianli Beast, but a direct disciple of the other party, whose cultivation was in the early stage of refining emptiness.

I learned from the other party that the good friend was in seclusion at the moment and could not come to meet me in person, so he asked his disciple to deliver the things over.

"Old fox!" The Tianli beast complained secretly. If what it guessed was correct, the other party was not in seclusion at all, but knew what it was going to do and didn't want to get involved in this mess.

But then again, the other party knew that it was borrowing the treasure in order to go against the Sky Fox Clan, but still sent disciples to deliver the things. It can be said that they have done their best and there is nothing to blame.

"Besides asking you to deliver the things, does your master have any other instructions?" Putting his thoughts away, the Tianli Beast looked at the middle-aged man in front of him again and asked.

"My master did tell me to tell you something. 'Know when to stop. Too much is as bad as too little!'" The middle-aged man nodded slightly and answered immediately.

"Know when to stop, too much is as bad as too little!" The lynx narrowed his eyes and nodded slightly.

"I've made note of this. You can go back first. When this is over, I will personally visit the 'Ten Thousand Thunder Palace' and return the things to your master."

"Junior takes his leave!" The middle-aged man said nothing more. After bowing, he turned into a ray of lightning and flew away.

"What a brilliant thunder escape technique!" Looking at the opponent's gradually disappearing back, Mo Juren couldn't help but sigh in admiration. He also knew the thunder escape technique, but compared with the middle-aged man, he was obviously not as good as him.

“The Wanlei Palace specializes in the Way of Thunder, so it naturally should not be underestimated. The palace’s inheritance is mostly related to thunder, and has made extremely high achievements. The only pity is that the conditions for Wanlei Palace to accept disciples are too old-fashioned. One must have thunder spiritual roots, which greatly restricts the development of the sect. Otherwise, it would not have remained unknown for so many years.” Tianli Beast sighed.

"Wanlei Palace? I have heard of it. It is said that this sect is an elite sect. Although there are not many disciples, each of them is a leader in their class and their strength is not weak."

“Those with thunder-attributed spiritual roots are naturally gifted, but spiritual roots with different attributes are too rare, and every one of them is a target of competition among all the major forces.

Compared to those famous sects, the Wanlei Palace does not have an advantage, and therefore the sect has almost lost its inheritance several times in the past. "The Tianli Beast shook his head slightly, and then changed the subject.

"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. Now that the treasure has been borrowed, the next question is how to rescue them. According to my original plan, I would have a strong person in the Fusion Realm attract attention outside, and I would sneak in. This would be much easier, but now that my good friend is unwilling to participate, I have to do it myself."

"Will this... be a problem? Why don't we wait a little longer? I can also invite another strong person in the Fusion Realm to help us. It won't be too late to take action then."

"Can you invite other fusion realm cultivators? It seems that I still underestimated you!" The Sky Raccoon Beast looked slightly surprised and asked,

"Given the current situation, are you sure you want to wait any longer? What if the other party has already taken action during this period? By then, it will be too late."

"The senior I invited is in Xuanwu Realm. If he takes the teleportation array, it won't take a few days." Mo Juren replied directly. The person he was referring to was naturally Hua Qingyao. The other party had always been at odds with the Sky Fox Clan, so naturally she would not be afraid of anything.

"How many days?" The lynx thought for a while and then said,

"How about this, you and I will act separately. You go and invite that person, and I will go to the Wanku Mountains to find out the situation first. If it's not urgent, I will wait for you to meet up. If the situation changes, I can also take action in time."

"Senior is indeed very thoughtful. Let's do it this way." Mo Juren nodded. This approach was indeed more prudent, and he certainly would not object.

Besides, this rescue operation ultimately depends on the other party.

Neither himself nor Xiao Yunhuang could get involved at all. Even if they followed him at this moment, it would be meaningless and might even cause more trouble.

In this case, it would be more appropriate to act separately and invite Hua Qingyao myself.

"Since you agree, there is no time to lose. I will go first. You take care of Xue'er." After saying that, the Tianli beast handed the daughter in his arms to the other party, and then turned into a white light and broke through the air, disappearing at the end of the sky in a blink of an eye.

"Let's go too." Mo Juren held the little white beast, then called Xiao Yunhuang and Gu Ximeng, and flew straight in another direction.

Hua Qingyao had of course given him a communication token, but the three realms and seven lands were all vast areas with no end in sight, and the communication distance of the token had a limit, so direct contact was impossible.

The only way is to go through the branch of Tianxiang Sect in Lingzhou, where there is a special communication array that can transmit information over long distances.

……

The location of the Lingzhou branch was not far from Lingyi City. With Mo Juren's speed, it took him less than two hours to arrive there.

He did not delay and directly showed the identity token that Hua Qingyao had given him. He was immediately invited in respectfully by the gatekeeper.

Coincidentally, he met the woman surnamed Xue again and told her the purpose of his visit directly without beating around the bush. The latter, as the guardian of the branch, nodded and agreed immediately.

Everything went very smoothly afterwards. After the formation was activated, we directly contacted the headquarters, and the other party responded quickly, saying that they would pass the information to the leader immediately.

Just a moment later, the other party sent another reply.

"Three days?" After learning the content of the reply, Mo Juren immediately breathed a sigh of relief. This time was not long and he could still wait. Besides, Senior Tianli had already gone there first.

He couldn't help but feel a little moved. No matter how many faults Hua Qingyao had, the fact that she agreed to his request without hesitation this time was enough for him to remember it forever.

Having said that, from the time I met him until now, it seems that I have never suffered any loss from him. On the contrary, I have taken too many advantages from him. I really shouldn't always be so vigilant.

But there was no way. This woman was like a poisonous rose. She had endless charm, but was also extremely dangerous. Even though he was moved, he still didn't dare to take her lightly.

"Since you are waiting for the leader here, why don't you stay in the branch and let the younger generation show us the hospitality of the host." At this moment, Protector Xue made an extremely sincere invitation.

"Okay." Mo Juren did not object, and upon hearing this, Protector Xue was overjoyed and hurriedly led the way. She first led a few people to settle down in the branch, and then ordered her subordinates to send many spiritual fruits and so on. It can be said that she was very thoughtful. After finishing all this, she respectfully withdrew.

The room became quiet for a while. Looking at the table full of spiritual fruits and fine wines, Mo Juren had no appetite at all. He couldn't even drink the spiritual tea that he was most obsessed with.

At this moment, all his thoughts were on the Wanku Mountains a million miles away.

What is certain is that Zi Dian is not in danger of his life at the moment, but the situation is certainly not going to be any better.

He had also thought it through these days. Qin Liuyue had not made any big move against Zi Dian before, just to confuse him. After all, as Zi Dian's master, he would be able to sense it once the latter had a big problem.

But now, Zi Dian no longer serves as bait, and only itself remains. In this case, it may kill at any time.

The moment he thought of this, he became more worried.

In addition, there is the matter of rescue. He is also well-known for the name of Wanku Mountains, which can indeed be described as a dragon's den and a tiger's lair. More importantly, behind it is the base camp of the Sky Fox clan.

The latter, in particular, directly added infinite variables to the rescue operation.

Fortunately, we invited Senior Tianli this time, otherwise it would be extremely difficult to rescue Zidian successfully.

"Don't worry, our ancestors have gone over to look after it in advance, so everything will be fine." Xiao Yunhuang clearly saw his worry and quickly comforted him in a soft voice.

"I hope so." Mo Juren sighed. He had done what he should do. What happened next could only be left to fate. (End of this chapter)
