Mortals: Take Mo Juren at the start

"Family power?" Mo Juren was stunned for a moment, then said meaningfully,
"It seems that it is not an ordinary family! Why don't you tell me which family it is? Mo has made a lot of friends over the years, so maybe I can talk to them."

"This..." Ye Xuechan paused, then sighed softly.

"It's the Luo family of Yunfengling."

"Yunfengling, Luo family?" Mo Juren was stunned when he heard the name.

Over the years, he has had a general understanding of the major family forces of both the human and demon races, basically the top ones, and even the slightly lower ones are all clear to him.

However, he really had no impression of Yunfengling or the Luo Family. There was only one possibility: this was not a famous family at all.

Sure enough, the other party's next words confirmed his guess.

“Yunfeng Ridge is a famous mountain range in Xuanwu Territory, and it is also the foundation of the Luo family. The Luo family is not a top family, but at most a mid-level family. The strongest person in the family is only in the middle stage of the Refining Void Realm.

Brother Mo also knows my situation. The Ye family is weaker, and I am the strongest person in the family. The Luo family is definitely a behemoth for us.

And this is not the most critical point. After all, I was once a disciple of the orthodox Buddhist sect, so I have certain support. It’s just that the Luo family is more powerful. They are a vassal force of the Ximen family, a major immortal cultivation family in the Tianyuan realm. Even the supporters behind me cannot afford to offend them.

Besides, my case this time is also related to a direct descendant of the Ximen family, and the Luo family is just an accomplice in the open..."

"What's the name of the direct descendant?" Mo Juren was moved and asked quickly.

"The amorous young man Ximen Feng, I wonder if Brother Mo has ever heard of this man?" Ye Xuechan said with gritted teeth.

"It's really him!" Mo Juren immediately showed a meaningful smile.
"Since it involves the Ximen family, it seems that things are more complicated than imagined. This is not the place to talk. How about this, Miss Ye, wait here for a while, and wait until Mo has completed the task, and then we can talk in detail."

"Brother Mo, there is no need to do this. The Ximen family is too powerful. There is no need for you to get involved..." Ye Xuechan wanted to persuade him again, but was interrupted by the other party.
"Okay, listen to me!"

Mo Juren said this without question, and then he took the two sisters of the Jiang family directly to the main hall.

Looking at the three people's gradually disappearing backs, Ye Xuechan's expression became extremely complicated.

What she encountered was extremely tricky, and the Ximen family was involved behind the scenes. If anyone else heard about it, they would definitely avoid it.

Just like before, she specially visited a good friend of her master, who was a member of the Elder Council of Tianyuan City, the master of Guanghua Palace, and a powerful person in the fusion realm.

However, after hearing her story, he directly expressed that he was powerless.

She knew in her heart that the other party was not really powerless, but just unwilling to do so. It was really unnecessary to offend the Ximen family for the sake of a disciple who was a "good friend" who had passed away many years ago.

The reason I revealed the truth just now was that I was really desperate and wanted to find someone to talk to.

She had never thought of asking Mo Juren for help. Moreover, although the other party had some strength, there was still a huge gap compared to the powerful Ximen family.

She was very touched that the other party did not turn hostile to her immediately.

Thinking about the life-saving grace and escort in the past, which I have yet to repay, how could I bear to drag the other party into this?
"Brother Mo, please forgive me, I can't hurt you!" Ye Xuechan murmured, then left without hesitation and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

……

Mo Juren was very familiar with Guanghua Palace.

He brought the Jiang sisters to the third floor with ease and saw Wen Yun's familiar figure at a glance.

Apparently noticing his gaze, Wen Yun subconsciously turned her head, and when she saw it was him, she immediately smiled.

Mo Juren also nodded in response and did not disturb the other party. Instead, he took the two women to an empty seat and sat down.

For some unknown reason, there are many more monks coming to the third floor to hand over their tasks today. There are nearly a hundred people queuing up, and it is estimated that they will have to wait for a while.

He was not in a hurry. Just then a maid brought him some spiritual tea, and he started drinking it right away.

Suddenly, he noticed the curiosity in the eyes of the two girls beside him, and then asked with a smile:

"Why, you two have never been here before?"

"My younger sister and I have not been members of the Tianyuan Guard for long, and we are not strong enough, so we have never entered the third level. But we have been to the first level twice," elder sister Jiang Wei explained quickly.

"So that's it!" Mo Juren suddenly understood and continued,

"Now that Team C12 is no longer in existence, and you two are only Nascent Soul cultivators, what are your plans for the future?"

"I haven't thought about it yet." Jiang Wei glanced at the little sister beside him and shook his head slightly.
"Since we have joined the Tianyuan Guard, it is impossible for us to leave at will. I guess we will return to Team C12 once our cultivation recovers."

"That's true." Mo Juren nodded. Although Team C12 was almost wiped out, it was impossible to disband. In the end, they would have to find other monks to replenish them.

This is not uncommon. As the ultimate stronghold against various alien races, the Tianyuan Guards live in crisis all the time, and casualties are inevitable.

Situations like what happened to Team C12 are perfectly normal.

Time passed slowly. After waiting for nearly half an hour, the more than one hundred people in the front line finally finished waiting. Mo Juren immediately stood up and walked forward with the two sisters.

"I heard before that Team A-17 had accepted the mission of 'Soul Annihilation Valley', and I have been worried about it. Now that I see Brother Mo returning safely, I believe that he must have returned with a great success. It is indeed cause for celebration." Wen Yun smiled softly, and at the same time waved her jade hand to create a light curtain, completely sealing off the surroundings.

"I can't claim to have returned with a full load, but the mission has indeed been accomplished. In addition, an unknown change has occurred in the Soul Valley, and I was thinking of informing the higher-ups about it." Mo Juren shook his head slightly, his expression becoming extremely serious. As expected, Wen Yun immediately became serious after hearing this.

"Something strange has happened in the Soul Oblivion Valley? Brother Mo, can you tell me in detail?"

"Of course, no problem. Here's what's going on..."

Mo Juren naturally did not hide anything and began to tell the story immediately, from entering the Soul Valley, to discovering a large number of Soul Devouring Beings, to the final secret realm, and so on.

He did not mention the situation of the three powerful Yaksha men, nor the opportunities in the secret realm. Firstly, it was difficult to explain, and secondly, he was worried that there must be a traitor among the higher-ups. Wouldn't it be troublesome if the news reached the Yaksha tribe?
Of course, it was not completely unmentioned. After all, the destruction of Team C12 was caused by one of the Yakshas, ​​and this could not be concealed at all.

He naturally chose to reveal it, but he only mentioned that he learned it from the Jiang sisters, and he himself did not see it. Speaking of this, he couldn't help but feel fortunate for his caution that day. From beginning to end, the other members of the team didn't know much, so there was no need to worry about exposing anything.

"A large number of soul-devouring creatures, secret realms, and the Yaksha tribe..." Wen Yun murmured thoughtfully for a few words, and then said solemnly,
"I will report this matter to the Council of Elders. Bringing back this kind of news is also a great achievement. After the evaluation, there will be a reward. Of course, that is an extra part and has nothing to do with the reward for this mission."

"Then thank you very much!" Mo Juren nodded with satisfaction, and then handed over his Qingming Guard identity jade pendant. The other party waved it in the air and handed it back again,
"The requirement of this mission is to go to the Soul Oblivion Valley to investigate the situation of Team C12. Team A17, led by Brother Mo, has already done this and even brought back the two surviving members safely, which is considered a successful completion.

The original reward was marked as 200 merit points, but since Brother Mo completed the task extremely well, we can increase it by 20 points, that is, 220 points."

"Thank you." After taking the jade pendant, Mo Juren immediately bowed. He knew very well that whether the task was completed successfully or not was entirely up to the other party's words.

In response, he did not refuse politely, but accepted it with pleasure.

"Oh, yes, there is also this." Wen Yun suddenly thought of something, and then she flipped her slender hands, and a jade box emerged.
"This is this year's Dust-Extinguishing Pill. In the past, your subordinate always took it on your behalf. Since you are here today, you can take it all away."

"Okay!" Mo Juren accepted it calmly.

In fact, this thing is not as important to him as he imagined. Immortal cultivators will experience a small heavenly tribulation every three hundred years, and as a first-generation ascender, because he contains the aura of an alien world, he will face the legendary two-color thunder tribulation, which is extremely powerful.

But his situation is different. With the Thunder Edict as his support, he is very confident that he can get through even the two-colored thunder tribulation.

Of course, he would not give up the Dust Eliminating Pill. After all, nothing is absolute. What if something unexpected happens during the tribulation? It is always right to make more preparations.

After the matter was over, he did not stay any longer, but got up and said goodbye directly. However, the Jiang sisters had to stay.

After giving the two women a few words, he turned around and left.

……

"This woman!" Walking out of the Guanghua Hall and looking at the empty steps where he had just been, Mo Juren sighed helplessly.

With his wisdom, he naturally understood everything in an instant.

Ye Xuechan was obviously worried about implicating him, so he left without saying goodbye.

He was very relieved about this, as it showed that the other party was by no means a selfish person, and he was right to save him by chance.

As for the other party's worries, there is no need at all.

It is true that the Ximen family is powerful, but how bad is he now? The painstaking efforts over the years are not just talk. Even when facing the Ximen family, he is not afraid at all.

Of course, this does not mean that he, a cultivator in the God Transformation Stage, can single-handedly challenge a top family. That is purely a joke.

What he meant was that, with his current background, as long as he didn't do anything reckless, even if he did something a little out of line, the Ximen family would never dare to do anything to him.

He was a cautious person, so he certainly wouldn't do anything rash. He naturally wanted to hear what was going on. There was no problem in providing some help to the other party within his ability.

More importantly, the person actually involved in this matter is his old acquaintance Ximen Feng. He still cares about this "old friend"!
In the past trial in the Cang Gu Secret Realm, a grudge had been formed between the two parties, and the other party had shown murderous intent several times. Although no action was taken until the end, the matter may not be over.

Especially with Ximen Feng's vindictive, vicious and cruel character, who knows when he might stab him in the back.
It is easy to catch a thief a thousand miles away, but it is too difficult to guard against thieves for a thousand days. Naturally, he also wants to see if he can find some opportunities that he can exploit. Maybe he can solve the problem?

This was also one of the reasons why Ye Xuechan asked the other person to stay when he mentioned him before.

However, what he had no choice but to do was to realize that this woman had actually run away secretly, all because she was worried about his safety. He was helpless but couldn't blame her for anything.

Fortunately, he had thought of this possibility when they separated before, so he took some precautions in advance and didn't have to worry about not being able to find the other party.

After carefully sensing it and confirming that it was just staying somewhere in the market town and had not left, he ignored it and went to the team's base first.

……

"team leader……"

"..."

Inside the base, everyone was immediately delighted to see Mo Juren appear, and they all stepped forward to greet him.

"Can't wait?" Mo Juren said with a smile, then walked over and sat down, taking out the identity jade pendant in his hand and said,
"The mission rewards have been issued, a total of 220 merit points."

"Isn't it marked 200? Why is there 20 points more?"

"Brother Zhou was the one who took the task before. Could he have remembered it wrongly?"

"My eyes are not blurry. It's just two hundred. As for why it's twenty points more, there must be other reasons..." Zhou Heng snorted coldly, then looked at Mo Juren. After hearing this, everyone reacted immediately.

"You guessed correctly. I gave you 20 extra points because you completed the task well." Mo Juren did not hide anything and continued.

"In addition, I have also informed them of the changes in the Soul Oblivion Valley. Under normal circumstances, there should be an additional reward, which will be distributed at the appropriate time."

"There can be a reward for this, that... that's great!" Hearing such good news, everyone was very happy and smiled.

Those are merit points, which are absolute hard currency in Tianyuan City, and every point is extremely precious.

"What about those soul beads? Have they been dealt with?" Putting aside his thoughts, Mo Juren asked again.

"They have all been sold. Here are all the spirit stones." Lu Shan replied immediately, and then handed over the storage bag that he had prepared long ago.

At the same time, the others also had their own thoughts, and suddenly rays of light of different colors shot out and all fell on the table.

There were countless jade boxes, jade bottles, etc. of different sizes and colors. There were so many of them that they filled up the table.

Looking at the jade boxes and bottles on the table, Mo Juren was stunned for a moment, but he soon understood something in his heart, and then asked with a smile:
"What are you waiting for?" (End of this chapter)
