Mortals: Take Mo Juren at the start

Mo Juren ignored the man in the green robe's question and simply vanished in a flash. Immediately afterward, two terrified screams rang out from outside.

"Not good..." The man in the green robe could naturally tell who had made the cry, and his expression grew even more grim. However, he was trapped in the blue ice layer and could do nothing but be shocked and angry.

At that moment, two dark figures shot out from the gate and crashed to the ground with a heavy thud.

Upon seeing this, the man in the green robe's expression changed again. Only after realizing that the two were merely unconscious and not in mortal danger did he breathe a sigh of relief.

At this moment, he also realized that even with his late-stage Nascent Soul cultivation, he was no match for them, let alone two mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivators.
That person was far too strong, far beyond our imagination. The three of us were like three-year-old children in front of him, completely powerless to fight back.

Fortunately, neither he nor his two cousins ​​were in any real danger; they had only lost their fighting ability.

The other party clearly doesn't intend to push things too far, which shows that they still have some fear of the Luo family. Once we figure that out, things will be much easier to handle.

A flash of five-colored light disappeared in an instant, and Mo Juren reappeared inside the hall. At this moment, the old man Ye Lingyang, who was standing to the side, stepped forward with a look of surprise and delight to greet him.
"Senior, it really is you! I thought I was seeing things!"

“Your aunt will be arriving soon. Go and greet her. Also, do whatever needs to be done immediately. Leave this to me.” Mo Juren nodded slightly.

"Aunt is back too!" Ye Lingyang was overjoyed. In fact, when he saw Mo Juren, he already had some guesses in his heart. After all, after that incident, his aunt had told him some things. This senior Mo had saved his life.

The fact that the other party suddenly appeared and attacked the three elders of the Luo family suggests that there is only one possibility: the other party was most likely invited by the aunt.

As expected, he guessed correctly.

"This junior will take his leave for now!"

Ye Lingyang didn't delay. After giving a slight bow, he immediately flew out of the hall.

At this moment, the man in the green robe, trapped within the blue ice, spoke in an icy tone:
"Since you were invited by Ye Xuechan, you must know the ins and outs of this matter. Not to mention my Luo family, there is also the Ximen family behind us. Do you really intend to offend them all?"

"Threatening me?" Mo Juren narrowed his eyes, a hint of murderous intent flashing in them.

The man in the green robe naturally noticed this, and his expression changed drastically. He couldn't help but curse inwardly, "What kind of madman is this? He's ready to kill at the slightest provocation!"
Taking a hard line would be unwise. After all, the Luo family and the Ximen family, no matter how strong they are, are too far away to solve the immediate problem. If they were to offend them and kill him directly, wouldn't he be unjustly killed?
"Please forgive me, senior. I had no other intentions. I was just stating the facts to you. Even if you kill me, it will not solve the problem. On the contrary, it will offend the Luo family and the Ximen family, and there will be endless trouble in the future."

"Since you're so kind as to consider my feelings, shouldn't I thank you properly?" Mo Juren chuckled. This guy is really afraid of death; he chickened out as soon as he showed a hint of murderous intent.

But thinking about it, it makes sense. In this vast world of cultivation, how many people are truly unafraid of death? Especially since it's such a trivial matter, it's really not worth paying the price with one's life.

"Of course not," the man in the green robe said with an embarrassed smile.
"Actually, this was not a big deal, and there was no need to make such a fuss. Besides, my ancestor recommended Fairy Ye out of good intentions. If she really doesn't want to, she can just say so. My ancestor can find someone else and won't force her."

"I won't force you. Do you think I'm easy to fool?" Mo Juren sneered. Unless someone is out of their mind, probably no one would believe such nonsense.

The other party should also be thankful that he doesn't want to make a big fuss for the time being; otherwise, with just a thought, the Azure Ice Flame would burn him to nothingness in an instant.

Too lazy to argue with the other party any longer, he simply raised his hand and moved the other person from the main seat to the ground, then walked up and slowly sat down.

At this moment, the four maids who had finally recovered from their shock also stepped forward with great joy, wanting to continue to serve them by massaging their shoulders and legs as before.

However, Mo Juren raised his hand to stop him, and simply ordered one of the maids to fetch a brand new tea set and brew a cup of spiritual tea.

Turning to look at the three guys in the center of the hall, I guessed they had been causing quite a bit of trouble for the Ye family these days, judging from the occasional flashes of vengeful intent in the eyes of the four maids.

"Um... senior, would you please release me first? We can discuss this amicably, and I will certainly not run away." Inside the ice sculpture, the man in the green robe was trapped and was feeling quite uncomfortable. He could clearly sense the terror of the ice layer, which seemed to threaten his life at any moment, so naturally he did not want to stay inside any longer.

"Releasing them out is possible, but they'll have to fall into a coma just like the other two. You can choose between staying as before or being released," Mo Juren said with a half-smile, picking up the brewed spiritual tea.

"This..." The man in the green robe hesitated. He could still try to maneuver when he was conscious, but if he really fell into a coma, wouldn't he know nothing? At that time, whether he lived or died, he would be at the mercy of others.

This is clearly not acceptable. It is important for him to stay clear-headed, at least to be able to discern the situation when it is not right, even at any cost.

Thinking of this, he immediately abandoned the idea of ​​being released, and then changed the subject,

"Um, there are some things I'm not sure if I should say?"

"Speak your mind!" Since he had nothing better to do, Mo Juren naturally wouldn't refuse to communicate with the other party. As for Ye Xuechan, she had already returned to her residence and started preparing according to the original plan.

"Since you were invited by Fairy Ye, you must already know some things. As a top-tier cultivation family in the Three Realms and Seven Lands, the Ximen family's strength far exceeds our imagination. Although we don't know your background, you probably wouldn't want to have any conflict with such a powerful family, right?"

"And then?" Mo Juren's expression remained calm, showing no sign of emotion.

"The root of this matter is the amorous young master Ximen Feng, who is a direct descendant of the Ximen family and has exceptional talent, making him highly valued by the entire family."

Now that Young Master Ximen has reached the peak of the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm, he is only one step away from breaking through to the Void Refinement realm. At such a crucial moment, no problems can be allowed to occur.

Young Master Ximen is proficient in the art of dual cultivation, and not long ago he obtained a top-level dual cultivation secret technique from ancient times. With this technique, he has a very high probability of successfully breaking through.

It was for this reason that he issued the order to have his many affiliated forces search for women with the yin essence of ice and cold, and not just one, but the higher their cultivation level, the better.

Fairy Ye met all these conditions perfectly, and she had already submitted them, to which the other party was very satisfied.

If they were to discover the problem now, what would become of the Ximen family's reputation? Especially given Ximen Feng's vengeful nature, he certainly wouldn't let it go easily. When a powerful enemy arrives, how would you, senior, deal with it?

"Peak of the late-stage Nascent Soul realm! Looks like he gained quite a bit from the previous trial!" Mo Juren thought to himself, impressed by his rapid improvement. This guy was now a formidable opponent. However, on the other hand, he and the other had already formed a grudge, and given the other's ruthless and vicious nature, even if he did nothing, or even if he lowered his dignity to appease him, it would still be meaningless.

Given the chance, the other party will definitely attack him without any mercy.

If that's the case, then what's there to consider? Just go for it. Even if it's not Ye Xuechan, but some unrelated person, he wouldn't mind giving them a push if it could cause them trouble.

His mind was filled with countless thoughts, yet his expression remained unchanged, and he offered no response, continuing to leisurely sip his tea as if nothing had happened.

This unusual behavior left the long-waiting man in the green robe extremely puzzled.

What he just said was absolutely true, and the seriousness of it was self-evident. But the other party didn't even react in the slightest. Isn't that a bit too strange?
"Senior... what exactly are you thinking?" After hesitating for a long time, he finally couldn't help but ask.

"Do you think I wouldn't understand these things?" Mo Juren didn't answer, but instead asked a question. Upon hearing this, the man in the green robe was stunned.

At that moment, he suddenly understood.

Since the other party already knew everything, yet still did it anyway, there is only one possibility.

The opponent's strength and background were far greater than he had imagined, to the point that he was not afraid of the Ximen family at all.

This...this is unbelievable!
According to the family investigation, Ye Xuechan has no other powerful background besides having some connection with the Vajra Temple, so how could he have invited this mysterious person in front of him?

He did want to ask who the other party was, but considering his current situation, he ultimately didn't ask.

This is no small matter; I must inform my grandfather when I return and let him make the decision.

Thinking of this, he dared not say another word, lest he offend the other party and suffer the consequences.

The hall suddenly fell silent. After a short while, Ye Xuechan still hadn't appeared, but the other two elders of the Luo family were the first to wake up.

Upon seeing Mo Juren, the two immediately recalled their previous encounter, which could hardly be called a fight; it was a one-sided crushing defeat.

Thinking of that profound sense of powerlessness, the two of them couldn't help but tremble slightly.

Mo Juren ignored this and continued to drink tea while waiting. About half an hour later, Ye Xuechan, who had been prepared, finally appeared.

Seeing the scene in the hall, even though she already knew the details from Ye Lingyang, she was still extremely shocked when she saw it with her own eyes.

Brother Mo's strength was far greater than she had imagined. Even a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator couldn't withstand a single move from him. If this got out, probably no one would believe it.

This completely overturned her preconceived notions. She knew that the other party was only at the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm, but the strength and methods he displayed were probably no less than those of a Void Refinement early stage expert.

"Is it all taken care of?" Mo Juren put down his teacup and asked as the other person approached.

"I suppose so." Ye Xuechan sighed. Thinking of the extremely disappointed looks on the faces of those who were not chosen when selecting clansmen, she felt a sharp pain in her heart.

But there was no other way; facing the powerful Luo and Ximen families, she had no power to resist and could only resort to this desperate measure.

The thought filled her with endless hatred. If she hadn't had so many concerns, she would have already attacked the three elders of the Luo family who were now incapacitated.

After a pause, she decided not to hide anything and immediately looked at the man in the green robe who was still trapped in the ice and said:
"Since things have come to this, I'm too lazy to say anything more. I will lead all the elite members of the Ye family to live in Tianyuan City from now on..."

"If the Luo family still has any bottom line, it's best not to take action against the remaining lower-ranking disciples and the large number of ordinary people..."

"I hereby swear by my Dao heart that if the Luo family truly slaughters innocent people indiscriminately, then we will fight to the death. If the opportunity arises in the future, I will personally visit their door and exterminate the entire Luo family..."

"..."

If the man in the green robe had heard Ye Xuechan's murderous threats and even that poisonous oath before, he would never have taken them seriously; he would have even found them amusing.

Who does the Ye family think they are, daring to threaten the Luo family? It's a joke!
But things are different now. The person in the main seat is too mysterious. Who knows what kind of powerful background they might have? Even the Luo family has to be wary of them.

“The Luo family wouldn’t stoop to such a despicable level. But Fairy Ye, why are you going to such extremes? If you really disagree, just refuse directly. The ancestor won’t force you.” The man in the green robe sincerely advised, but upon hearing this, Ye Xuechan sneered.

You won't force me? Are you kidding me? Wasn't it your Luo family patriarch who personally came to set a deadline for himself back then? How could you forget so easily?
She could never trust a single word spoken by such an opportunistic and dishonest family.

She was too lazy to waste any more words with the other party, and instead turned to look at Mo Juren. The latter nodded slightly, then raised his hand and summoned the Azure Ice Flame that had trapped the man in the green robe back into his body.

"Miss Ye has already made everything clear, so I won't repeat it here. But I hope you can pass on a message to your ancestor and Ximen Feng."

I have protected Miss Ye and her family. Whether it's your Luo family or Ximen Feng, if you want to make a move, just come to Tianyuan City and find me. Then you can each use your own methods to compete.

But if you do anything underhanded and attack those ordinary members of the Ye family, then don’t blame me for retaliating against your family members by any means necessary. Let’s see who can’t withstand it first.

The Ximen family might still be considered a threat, but I've never taken your Luo family seriously. Think about it carefully when you get back, and don't say I didn't warn you..."

"We will certainly convey your words to our ancestors, senior. We will take our leave now." The man in the green robe wisely refrained from lingering and immediately led the other two away as if their lives depended on it.

During his escape, he even took out a communication token and immediately sent messages to the family head and elders... (End of this chapter)
