Mortals: Take Mo Juren at the start

"The Buddhist sect has three famous Dharma assemblies, and the Heavenly Sound Dharma Assembly is the largest of them. It is held only once every three hundred years on average. At that time, all the major Buddhist sects in the three realms will send elite disciples to participate... Not only that, those immortal cultivation sects that are on good terms with the Buddhist sect will also be invited and send representatives to attend the ceremony..." Ye Xuechan gave a detailed account of the assembly. However, Mo Juren remained unmoved and showed no interest whatsoever.

After he finished speaking, he suddenly changed the subject and said,

"So, you're worried that if you choose not to go, you'll be offending the Great Thunderclap Sect, which could very well provoke their wrath and implicate me?"

"This whole affair started because of me. Whatever the final outcome, I can accept it. But if it implicates our lord, then I would truly be unforgivable." Ye Xuechan nodded solemnly, paused, and continued.
"If they knew my situation, they would be determined to get me. Even if I refused this time, they would definitely not give up."

At this point, she sighed again. Her master was indeed powerful enough, and his strength and influence behind him were not to be underestimated. However, his foundation was still shallow. Facing a super power like the Great Thunder Sound Sect, his chances of survival were slim.

"I'm quite pleased that you have such thoughts. As for the Great Thunderclap Sect, to be honest, I really don't take it seriously." Mo Juren smiled coldly.

All these years of painstaking efforts have not been in vain. Now, not only do they have many experts at the Integration Realm standing behind them, but each of them also has unimaginable power behind them.

Even if the Great Thunderclap Sect has any ideas, they would have to think twice after a little investigation.

Furthermore, a super sect like the Great Thunder Sound Sect wouldn't be so bored as to specifically target a Nascent Soul cultivator like him; it's highly likely that he's just one of many.

There's even less to worry about then.

He was not someone to be trifled with. Even if someone from the Great Thunderclap Sect took a fancy to Ye Xuechan, they could not take him away without his consent.

Of course, it should be noted that from now on, Ye Xuechan should stay in Tianyuan City or his own cave dwelling and not go out to avoid any unexpected complications.

If this is achieved, then even if the unknown entity of the Great Thunderclap Sect has a long reach, it can only watch helplessly.

However, on the other hand, we can't just hide forever. We still need to do something to let the other party know the consequences, so that they will be wary and dare not act rashly.

After careful consideration, he suddenly handed the visiting card back to Ye Xuechan and said seriously:

"Here's what we'll do: you should immediately return to your cave and pay your respects to Senior Dongtian. Tell him what I'm asking and request his help, such as writing a letter to return the invitation from the Great Thunderclap Sect on your behalf. Of course, if he feels it's inappropriate, that's fine too. I'll think of another way then."

"Is this... feasible?" Upon hearing this, Ye Xuechan couldn't help but show a look of doubt.

To be honest, despite having spent many years with that senior in the cave, she still didn't know his true identity.

Not only her opponent, but she also knew very little about the other experts at the Integration Realm.

It is certain that none of these individuals are simple-minded, but in the end, they are all just Nascent Soul cultivators. Without sufficient backing, it would be impossible for them to contend with a super power like the Great Thunder Sound Sect on their own.

"Just do as I say, and you don't need to worry about anything else." Mo Juren naturally understood what the other party meant, but he did not intend to explain anything.

As for the other party's concerns, there is no need for them. What kind of existence is the Cave Heaven Rat King? He is one of the Seven Great Demon Kings. Only a madman like the Great Thunder Sound Sect would refuse to give face to the other party because of a little girl.

Of course, this is not absolute. Perhaps the Cave Rat King has other considerations, such as his identity as a demon, or that his cultivation has not yet recovered, which may make things inconvenient.

That's fine. If the other party is unwilling to come forward, we can find someone else, such as Fairy Phoenix Feather.

The latter, as an elder of Tianyuan City, has a certain connection with Tianmiao Linghuang, and is no less distinguished in terms of status, position, or background.

The reason he didn't find the latter immediately was because he owed the other party too many favors and felt somewhat embarrassed. Besides, it wouldn't be too late to find the other party if there was really no other way.

In short, for him now, this kind of thing is nothing and can be easily resolved.

Seeing his confidence, Ye Xuechan, though unaware of the reason, instinctively breathed a sigh of relief, and her anxious mood instantly improved.

She couldn't help but feel a pang of emotion, thinking how fortunate she had been to have joined his ranks!

Awakening the 'Seven Fragrance Glazed Body' is not an opportunity, but a disaster. Without a powerful protector, the final outcome will inevitably be extremely tragic.

Whenever she thinks about this, she feels both moved and deeply grateful.

"There's no time to lose. You should head back to your cave immediately and resolve this matter as soon as possible, so you won't miss the grand auction," Mo Juren suggested again at this moment.

“What you say is absolutely right, my lord. I will depart immediately.”

Without hesitation, Ye Xuechan immediately got up, took his leave, and departed.

At this moment, the three women, who were not far away, slowly walked up to him.

"Master, we'd like to visit the Tai Xuan Palace. Can you come with us?" the little maid, Gu Ximeng, asked directly.

"Tai Xuan Palace!" Mo Juren chuckled to himself. It seemed this girl really couldn't stay idle!
As for the girl's identity, although she possesses some demon blood, this is not unusual in the vast cultivation world. Unless she is an enemy, no one would pay special attention to her.

He glanced at Ye Chuchu and Ye Keke beside him, who also looked expectant, and he couldn't help but feel a little enlightened.

It seems that the two women knew nothing about Ye Xuechan's secrets.

That's why, although the two women were also worried about the other party's anxiety, their concern was limited. Now that they saw that a solution had been found, they naturally stopped paying attention to it.

Upon reflection, he could understand Ye Xuechan's thoughts. Firstly, her own secret was too heavy to be revealed to anyone casually. Secondly, given the two women's circumstances, telling them would be futile, only causing worry and potentially unnecessary trouble. Therefore, it was better to remain silent.

Speaking of Tai Xuan Palace, he hadn't been there for a long time. Now that he had some free time, he could take a stroll around.

Besides, he was genuinely worried about Gu Ximeng, so going together would be a good way to clear his head.

"Let's go then." Pulling himself out of his thoughts, Mo Juren nodded. Sure enough, upon hearing this, Gu Ximeng jumped up excitedly.

This appearance left Mo Juren somewhat helpless. Because of her special bloodline, this girl had lived for thousands of years, yet she still looked like a child, and even her personality remained the same!

Of course, this does not mean that the other party is truly naive; it is merely one aspect of their personality, or perhaps a disguise that leans towards instinct.

He naturally wouldn't care about such trivial matters, and even hoped that the other party could continue to do so.

Life is a long journey, and isn't 'innocence' an extremely precious thing?

For someone who has lived for hundreds of years, constantly navigating intrigue and scheming, and weighing the pros and cons of everything, this side of him has long since disappeared.

……

On the bustling street, Mo Juren walked slowly forward, while Gu Ximeng and the Ye sisters were full of excitement, stopping at almost every stall that interested them.

Gu Ximeng, in particular, would buy anything she liked without hesitation.

This girl comes from a special background and has no clear concept of 'money'. Moreover, she has a big spender like Mo Juren supporting her, so spirit stones are just a number to her, and she naturally has no scruples.

In comparison, the Ye sisters were far inferior; they mostly just watched and rarely took action.

The Ye family is not a large family. Their businesses are not very substantial, and they also have to support a large number of family members. Even though the two women are key talents to be cultivated, the resources they can be allocated are limited.

The two women have been raised in a 'greenhouse' without any other benefits. Their only income comes from family offerings, so it's no wonder they're somewhat 'struggling'.

They don't lack spirit stones for daily use, but they absolutely cannot afford large sums of spirit stones, so they still need to be 'frugal' on a daily basis.

This was all thanks to Mo Juren, which allowed the Ye family's elite members to leave to avoid trouble, but also to retain their assets in the ancestral land of Black Crystal City; otherwise, things would have been much worse.

Therefore, although both women were equally tempted by some things that interested them, they did not have any intention of making a purchase.

Gu Ximeng naturally noticed this as well and immediately offered to pay on her behalf. However, upon hearing this, the two women refused without any hesitation.

Such actions naturally caught Mo Juren's attention, which surprised him somewhat, but also made him appreciate them a bit; at least this attitude was commendable.

He didn't say anything, but let the three women talk amongst themselves. Whatever the final outcome, he wouldn't get involved.

As expected, despite Gu Ximeng's repeated assurances that she had no shortage of spirit stones, the two women from the Ye family refused to agree, and the matter was ultimately dropped.

After walking and stopping for more than half an hour, the four of them finally arrived at their destination.

Looking around, one can immediately see the majestic figure of the Tai Xuan Hall.

Mo Juren was naturally already familiar with this place, but the three women were all very excited.

With the grand auction about to begin, the place is naturally becoming increasingly lively, with cultivators coming and going from the Tai Xuan Palace in an endless stream.

Urged on by Gu Ximeng, Mo Juren stepped forward to pay the spirit stones, and then led the three women into the crowd.

The two Ye sisters naturally noticed the spirit stones and exchanged a glance almost instinctively, but didn't say anything immediately.

At this time, the only place they could go was the trading hall. When the four of them entered, they found it unusually lively, with countless people trading.

Those enveloped in white light were humans, while those shrouded in black mist were demons; both were constantly exchanging information in front of their respective stalls.

At this moment, upon seeing the stalls of the demon race, Mo Juren suddenly paused, remembering something.

I remember when I first came here, I made a promise with a female demon cultivator to buy demon blood and materials from her.

It appears to be a savage ancient beast at the Refinement Void Realm or higher, with fire attributes.

Unfortunately, he was preoccupied with many trivial matters and forgot about it. Later, he changed his mind and naturally lost interest in the blood of that ancient beast.

This also means that he broke his promise and stood her up. He wondered what the demon woman would think afterward. She would probably curse him for being untrustworthy.

However, so many years have passed, and the other party probably doesn't remember either. Besides, if it's not sold to me, it can be sold to someone else, so there's no loss.

Having given himself a plausible reason, he breathed a sigh of relief and was about to look away when he was suddenly drawn to a particular stall, his expression instantly changing. (End of Chapter)
