Mortals: Take Mo Juren at the start

Mo Juren never expected to encounter such a sensual scene!
This scene was indeed extremely sensual.

However, at this moment he had no intention of appreciating beauty whatsoever. Instead, his eyes narrowed and his vigilance reached its peak.

In fact, when he came over after hearing the sound, he never withdrew his divine sense for a moment, and the distance was not far, so why did he not sense the woman's presence?

Could it be a coincidence?
Even now, upon seeing her, after scanning her with his divine sense, he couldn't detect the slightest fluctuation of spiritual energy, as if she were just an ordinary mortal woman.

This is clearly illogical; how could an ordinary woman appear here?

Ten thousand feet underground, even survival is a problem.

That would be another possibility: this woman's cultivation level is far above his, and unless she reveals it on her own initiative, he simply wouldn't be able to detect it.

Thinking of this, his vigilance grew even stronger.

Such a powerful being, whose cultivation level far surpasses his own, is not someone to be trifled with. A slight misstep could cost him his life.

Especially now, having 'bumped into' the other person taking a bath without warning, even though it was unintentional, it was still an offense, and it would be troublesome if they pursued it.

He naturally dared not approach any further, but he also did not turn around and leave. He could only stand still and wait, his mind churning with thoughts.

It was obvious that the woman's strength far surpassed his, and she must have known of his arrival. Therefore, leaving now would be even more impolite.

Just as he had expected, a short while later, the woman in the lake suddenly turned around, revealing a stunningly beautiful face that could bring ruin to a country.

What a face it was! Exquisitely beautiful and peerless, with a seemingly innocent temperament that subtly revealed a seductive charm; every frown and smile was captivating.

Mo Juren felt at a loss for words; a thousand words could not describe even a fraction of the beauty of this woman, as if all the beauty of women in the world was concentrated in her.

He was confident in his self-control, but at this moment he felt a desire to succumb.

Charm?

Such a guess couldn't help but arise in my mind, but it didn't seem quite right. The woman's eyes were clear and bright, showing no sign of using any seductive arts.

Of course, it's also possible that their methods were too sophisticated, far beyond his comprehension, so he naturally couldn't see anything.

Just as he was lost in thought, a thick white mist suddenly rose from the lake in front of him, completely obscuring his vision. The next instant, a flash of white light appeared in front of him, and the woman's figure was revealed.

The other woman was already dressed, but her exquisite figure was still undeniable. Moreover, her charm was even greater than when she emerged from her bath.

However, Mo Juren had no time to appreciate any of this. At this moment, the other party's eyes were like knives, gleaming with cold light, and his beautiful face revealed undisguised anger.

"You saw everything?" The woman walked slowly forward, barefoot, and questioned him coldly, her tone filled with murderous intent.

"This junior has no intention of offending anyone. My arrival here is merely a coincidence. I hope you will forgive me, senior." Sensing the other party's killing intent, Mo Juren was immediately alarmed, but his expression remained calm as he respectfully bowed and explained.

This appearance surprised the woman slightly, and a strange glint flashed in her star-like eyes, but it vanished in an instant.

"Having seen my body, you still dare to spout such falsehoods and sophistry? Do you think I'm easy to bully?"

"What kind of existence is this senior? He can naturally distinguish whether what I say is true or false, so why bother to intimidate me like this?" Mo Juren narrowed his eyes slightly, his expression becoming more and more respectful, but his words and attitude remained neither humble nor arrogant.

Clearly, from the initial singing to the earlier 'rudeness and offense,' everything was the result of the other party's deliberate seduction; otherwise, I wouldn't have gotten here, let alone witnessed the other party bathing.

Given this, he naturally wasn't afraid. The other party's chilling tone and murderous intent were merely a facade; if they truly intended to attack, they wouldn't waste words with him. Clearly, the other party had some purpose in doing this, and at least until that purpose was achieved, his life was safe.

"You're quite clever, kid. Interesting!" Realizing that her thoughts had been seen through, the woman stopped pretending, a smile appearing on her face, and the murderous intent emanating from her vanished completely.

After observing for a while longer, a strange light flickered deep in his eyes, and he nodded slightly.
"This is not the place to talk. Come with me."

As soon as she finished speaking, without waiting for the other party's consent, the woman took to the air and flew rapidly forward.

Mo Juren's expression shifted slightly. Although he hesitated, he ultimately dared not refuse and followed suit, riding his escape light.

After a short while, the two found themselves in an empty square.

The plaza was quite large, measuring over a thousand feet in diameter, and its vast surface was engraved with countless mysterious patterns.

Mo Juren's gaze swept across the area, and after a while, he felt a strong sense of dizziness.

A chill ran through him again, and he quickly looked away, no longer daring to look.

In the center of the square stands a solitary, mysterious stone palace. It is also quite large, with an ancient and simple design and a magnificent and imposing presence. The vast outer stone walls are densely covered with mysterious spiritual patterns.

Although they were some distance apart, Mo Juren could clearly sense a powerful pressure emanating from the stone hall, making it difficult for him to breathe.

The stunningly beautiful woman continued walking steadily, slowly approaching the main gate of the stone hall.

Upon seeing this scene, Mo Juren felt an instinctive urge and stopped in his tracks.

"Hmm?" The stunningly beautiful woman instantly sensed something, turned around abruptly, and said with her delicate brows furrowed.
"What? Are you afraid I'll harm you?"

"Of course not, it's just that this palace is too strange, and it exudes immense pressure at all times. My strength is too weak, and I can hardly withstand it anymore." Mo Juren explained half-truthfully, his face turning pale as he spoke.

"Pressure? So that's how it is!" The stunning woman suddenly realized, paused, and then raised her slender hand slightly. A beam of black light shot out and flew straight into Mo Juren's hand.

It turned out to be a black round bead. Mo Juren found it somewhat familiar, as if he had seen something similar somewhere before.

It was unclear what kind of treasure it was, but the moment it was in hand, a powerful spiritual energy spread out and condensed into a black light shield around it.

In an instant, much of the immense pressure surrounding them dissipated.

However, Mo Juren was surprised by this.

Logically speaking, the opponent should be extremely powerful in terms of both strength and methods, and relieving some pressure should be a trivial matter.

However, although it is true that it took action, and even used a treasure, wasn't the effect a bit too poor? The pressure only dissipated by about 30%, leaving more than 70% behind.

Of course, with his strength, he could withstand even the full force. He had only deliberately shown weakness to test the waters, but the result of that test was far from what he had expected.

That was only one aspect. What puzzled him even more was that since this was the other party's residence, they could easily control the so-called pressure, so why would they need to resist it with treasures?

In short, he had too many doubts in his heart and was becoming increasingly uneasy.

"This is not my residence." Perhaps guessing what the other person was thinking, the woman took the initiative to explain.

"Then I wonder where this place is..." Mo Juren's eyes flickered slightly as he continued to press for answers. (End of Chapter)
