Mortals: Take Mo Juren at the start

Chapter 1283 The Silver Fairy
"What happened?" Just as the atmosphere at the scene reached a stalemate, a deep voice suddenly came from behind, and the entire hall fell silent.

The next instant, with a flash of dark light, a figure appeared in mid-air.

The newcomer was an elderly man with silver hair, dressed in a black brocade robe. His appearance was quite ordinary and unremarkable, but he exuded an extremely sinister aura.

Upon seeing the old man, everyone present, whether human or demon, was greatly alarmed and stood frozen in place, not daring to even breathe.

Fusion state?
Mo Juren was also somewhat surprised. It was just a small conflict, but he didn't expect it to alarm a Nascent Soul Realm expert. It was truly unexpected.

As expected, the restrictions in the Tai Xuan Palace only apply to lower-level cultivators and are meaningless to experts at the Integration Realm. It seems that the white mist that conceals their figures is also ineffective.

Who is this person? Could he be a member of the Elders' Council?
What puzzled him even more was that this was just a trivial matter, which could be easily resolved by a few Golden Guards. Why did it require a Nascent Soul Realm elder to intervene?
Surely it's not because they're bored? Or is there some other reason?
"Greetings, Elder Ximen." At this moment, the Jin Guard surnamed Xiao, who had just come to his senses, immediately looked up at the sky and respectfully bowed in greeting. The other three Jin Guards not far away, as well as the other Qingming Guards, followed closely behind.

However, this address caused Mo Juren to catch his breath and his eyes to narrow instantly.

He almost instantly realized the other party's identity, and his heart trembled. Without the slightest hesitation, he immediately conjured a token in his palm.

In an instant, a message was sent out...

"No need for formalities." Elder Ximen nodded blankly, looked around, and then continued to ask.

"What happened?"

"Reporting to Elder Ximen, the matter is as follows..." Although he was also somewhat puzzled as to why this being had been alerted, the Jin guard surnamed Xiao did not hesitate and immediately recounted the whole story in detail.

His explanation inevitably had a certain bias, naturally favoring the stall owner, Mingyun.

As expected, after hearing this, Elder Ximen, who had been expressionless, instantly turned extremely cold. He then looked directly at Mo Juren's location and said in a chilling tone:

"To dare to make a move in the Tai Xuan Hall, you have quite the nerve! You deserve to be punished!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a terrifying pressure suddenly appeared, giving Mo Juren no chance to refute, and directly enveloping him and the three women behind him.

"Damn it!" Mo Juren's expression changed drastically. He immediately channeled all his magic power to create a spiritual energy barrier around himself, which barely allowed him to hold on.

However, it was clear that the gap between the two sides was too great, and the spiritual energy barrier was teetering on the brink of collapse.

Upon seeing this, Elder Ximen narrowed his eyes slightly.

It actually blocked it!
Although it was somewhat of a stretch, it was still quite unexpected.

He only used one-tenth of his strength, but under normal circumstances, the pressure he exerted was definitely not something an ant in the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm could withstand.

This shows that this person's true strength is far more than just the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm; it has at least reached the early stage of the Void Refinement realm.

The wind has truly provoked a formidable foe! If allowed to grow unchecked, it will surely become a major threat in the future.

A fierce glint flashed in Elder Ximen's eyes, and he was about to make another move. However, at this moment, his expression suddenly changed, and he quickly dissipated his oppressive aura.

At the same time, a flash of white light appeared in the void, and another figure emerged.

When the light faded, what was revealed was a mysterious woman with a full head of black hair and wearing a silver mask.

"To actually attack a junior in the Nascent Soul stage, Fellow Daoist Ximen has gone too far."

"Who do we have here? It's Fellow Daoist Yin Guang. What, you want to get involved in this matter too?" Elder Ximen's eyes flashed as he directly asked the other party.

"You allow fellow Daoists to bully the weak, but you won't even allow me to stand up for justice?" The mysterious woman chuckled, her tone nonchalant, but her attitude was exceptionally clear: she was determined to take charge of this matter.

As expected, Elder Ximen's expression grew even more unpleasant upon hearing this.

"This boy violated the rule in the Tai Xuan Hall that no fighting is allowed. Shouldn't he be punished?" Elder Ximen asked again, putting aside his thoughts.

"Is that so?" The mysterious woman's expression remained unchanged as she looked at Mo Juren and asked.
"Tell me, what exactly happened?"

"Senior, please forgive me..." Mo Juren would not back down and immediately recounted the situation again. Like the Jin Wei surnamed Xiao, the content was also somewhat biased, but it was in his favor.

"What about the cultivation technique?" The mysterious woman nodded slightly, then asked again. Upon hearing this, Mo Juren did not hesitate and immediately used his magic power to send over the jade slip that had not yet been returned.

After a brief glance, the mysterious woman looked at Elder Ximen again, asking with a half-smile:
"Well, Fellow Daoist Ximen, are you interested in taking a look? See if this thing is really worth five million spirit stones?"

"We won't look at the cultivation technique; after all, that's not the point. The key is that we can't make a move; that's an ironclad rule." Elder Ximen had clearly already guessed what was going on, so he didn't bother to examine it.

"The truth is crystal clear, yet you remain so relentless. Is there perhaps another reason?" The mysterious woman's expression turned cold. "Of course, regardless of your reasons, I am determined to handle this matter. Punishing this boy for this reason is absolutely out of the question. If you are truly dissatisfied, we can simply go out and have a showdown."

"You..." Elder Ximen hadn't expected the other party to value that guy surnamed Mo so much. Now, it was impossible for him to do anything to that kid anymore.

Considering the other party's background, it would be too much of a loss to actually take action.

Opportunities are always available; there's really no need for him to choose such a clearly thankless and arduous approach.

Thinking of this, his expression suddenly changed, and he even smiled slightly.

“You flatter me, fairy. I was just stating the facts and had no other intentions. Since you are so determined to protect this child, let’s just drop this matter.”

"It's not that I'm trying to protect him, but this matter was originally that demon boy's fault, and he should be the one punished. I wonder if Fellow Daoist Ximen has any objections?" The mysterious woman narrowed her eyes and her tone became increasingly cold.

"Since the fairy thinks so, I have nothing to say. In that case, I'll leave this matter to you." Elder Ximen was clearly losing face. Staying any longer would only make him look more ridiculous. After letting out a cold snort, he turned into a dark light and disappeared.

The hall fell silent, and both humans and demons were utterly shocked.

Who exactly is this mysterious woman who suddenly appeared? How could she force Elder Ximen to retreat? Could it be that she possesses even greater strength, or a background even more profound than that of the Ximen family?
The law enforcement team members also looked at each other in bewilderment, especially the four gold guards, who had never seen this woman before and really didn't know her background.

However, on the other hand, the other party was undoubtedly a Nascent Soul Realm expert, and even Elder Ximen was forced to retreat by him. Naturally, they dared not offend such an existence.

Another point is that this woman actually defended that human cultivator so much, which shows that the relationship between the two is not shallow, so the conflict just now can no longer be distorted.

The most anxious person at this moment was Jin Wei, surnamed Xiao. After all, he hadn't been able to resist the temptation and had chosen to side with Mingyun. What if that mysterious woman pursued the matter...?

Thinking about this, he became increasingly worried.

The other three Golden Guards were no exception, after all, they were also considered 'accomplices'.

"The matter is already very clear. What do you plan to do?" At this moment, the mysterious woman suddenly turned her head and asked in a cold voice.

"Senior, you are wise. The root of this matter is indeed this demon. We will escort him to the Hall of Law Enforcement for punishment." The Jin guard surnamed Xiao dared not hesitate and immediately made a solemn statement.

"Very well, then take him away." The mysterious woman gave the other party a meaningful look, but did not pursue the matter further. After nodding slightly, she suddenly transmitted a message telepathically.
“I am quite familiar with the nobleman’s ‘Cloud Fairy’. Out of respect for her, I will let today’s matter go. But if you do it again in the future, don’t blame me for not caring about my reputation.”

"Thank you for your guidance, senior. I will keep it in mind." Upon hearing the telepathic message, Jin Wei, surnamed Xiao, was immediately alarmed. So that was the reason. He felt as if he had been granted a pardon.

After making a telepathic statement, he no longer hesitated and directly ordered several Qingming Guards to take the stall owner Mingyun, who had already collapsed to the ground, and his four subordinates away from the hall.

At that moment, the mysterious woman appeared in front of Mo Juren in a flash. After carefully examining him, she nodded in satisfaction and then whispered:

"Indeed excellent, no wonder Sister Fengyu values ​​it so highly."

"Is it Senior Feng Yu?" Mo Juren looked slightly surprised, but instantly understood everything.

In his haste, he sent a distress message directly to Fairy Phoenix Feather, but since Spirit Sword Valley is not located in Tianyuan City, it is quite a distance away, so he could not arrive in time.

Clearly, the other party had also considered this point, and therefore entrusted it directly to someone else, namely the mysterious woman in front of them.

Looking back now, the situation just now was indeed extremely dangerous. He didn't expect that old scoundrel Ximen to be so shameless, attacking without saying a word.

Fortunately, this woman arrived in time; otherwise, if he had been delayed any longer, he would have really suffered a great loss.

As for the other party's identity, it can be confirmed from the way Ximen the Old Thief addressed her earlier that she should be the Silver Fairy who appeared in the original work.

This woman is no ordinary person; she is not only a candidate elder of Tianyuan City, but also has a connection with the legendary ancestor Ao Xiao of the Silver Moon Wolf Clan.

"Your reaction time is quite quick," the mysterious woman nodded slightly and continued to transmit her voice.
"Although I don't know the details, I can tell that Ximen Guang is deliberately targeting you, or rather, there is some grudge between you?"

"This is a long story..." Mo Juren shook his head slightly, intending to give a brief explanation, but was suddenly interrupted by the other party raising his hand.

"This is not the place to talk, and you don't need to explain anything. The reason I asked that question was just to remind you that, given Ximen Guang's personality, he probably won't let this matter go easily. You need to be careful in your future dealings."

As he spoke, he suddenly took out a mysterious token that was entirely silver-white with a wolf's head pattern engraved on the front, and handed it over along with the jade slip he was holding.

"I'm here temporarily, and I have some personal matters to attend to, so I won't stay any longer. Also, since you are a junior whom Sister Fengyu values, you are one of us. If you need anything in the future, you can come to 'Yuhua Mountain' to find me."

Clearly, something was really wrong. Before she could finish speaking, the mysterious woman turned into a beam of white light and disappeared.
