Mortals: Take Mo Juren at the start

Chapter 850 Ice City

Bai Yaoyi briefly introduced the many situations of Xiaoji Palace, and then Mo Juren retracted the flying boat, and the three of them set off again together.

Not long after he started walking, he immediately felt that his spiritual power was disturbed by some invisible force. He began to make mistakes and was unable to explore too far.

Even Mo Juren was no exception to this, except that he explored relatively further.

From this, it can be seen that the level of the formation set up outside the Xiaoji Palace is not low. At least when targeting spiritual consciousness, the effect is extremely strong.

The so-called Dingyuan Disk mentioned earlier is not used by Bai Yaoyi, who is the outer sect elder of Xiaoji Palace. A special token in her hand has a similar function.

Under each other's guidance, the three of them moved forward smoothly.

Soon they entered a strange area of ​​ice and snow. The wind and snow were mixed with dense, fist-sized hailstones, each of which was crystal clear and made low thumping sounds when it hit the protective shield.

Each attack of these hailstones was as powerful as that of huge rocks, and they were so dense that ordinary monks could not hold out for long.

But for the three of them, these naturally don’t matter.

After flying for half an hour, the view in front of us suddenly became bright. The hail, wind and snow were gone, and it was obvious that we had left the ice and snow area.

Looking into the distance at this moment, you can see a huge ice city built against the mountain at the end of your sight.

From a distance, it looks like sparkling crystal light, emitting colorful rays of light under the sun. In addition, there is some faint white mist surrounding it, making the city look like a fairy palace in the sky.

Such a grand scene was nothing to Bai Yaoyi, but it was the first time for Mo Juren and Han Li, master and disciple, to see it, and they were inevitably a little surprised.

The ice city is just one of them, the huge mountain behind it is even more "shocking".

Although it is not as huge as Kunwu Mountain which seems to connect the sky and the earth, it is still over ten thousand feet high. It is one of the best in the world of cultivation.

This mountain is as straight as a giant pillar. The surface of the mountain is crystal clear and covered with a layer of ice that is unknown how thick.

If it weren't for the occasional hint of green that dotted the mountain, the two would have suspected that this was actually a mountain of ice.

It was too far away to see the specific situation on the top of the mountain. I could only vaguely see a colorful building complex on the top of the iceberg.

"That's where the Ice City is. There are countless high-level restrictions hidden in the area in the middle. Without a guide, even a Nascent Soul cultivator would be in danger of entering." Bai Yaoyi gave a brief introduction, and then took the lead and flew forward.

Mo Juren and Han Li did not hesitate and followed closely.

With the correct route, they would naturally not touch the restricted areas. In just a few moments, the three of them had already flown to the entrance of the Ice City.

After retracting their escape lights, the three of them flew down one after another. Looking again, they saw a faint glow in the sky above the Ice City, covering the entire area except for the giant mountain. It was clearly an extremely powerful restriction.

Standing under the Ice City, Master Mo Juren and his disciples felt more and more how beautiful this city was.

The ice wall of more than thirty feet does not look too high, but its extraordinary crystal clearness is so fascinating that one is attracted unconsciously.

The entire ice wall is not made up of countless ice bricks, but is crystal clear all over, as if it was carved directly from a giant piece of ice by magic, with no trace of cracks visible on the surface.

At the city gate stood more than a dozen guards in white clothes, obviously disciples of Xiaoji Palace. Beside these people were several white ape-like spirit beasts with long, flawless snow-white fur. They were half-squatting there, with a pair of green pupils flashing a sinister cold light.

These ape-like monsters are a special kind of snow ape that lives in the icy zone of the Far North. Although their level is not high, their intelligence is not low and they are easy to tame, so they are often raised by cultivators throughout the North.

The ones in front of us are obviously much stronger than those recorded in the records. Not only are they much taller than ordinary snow apes, their demonic aura has also reached the level of a fourth or fifth level demon beast.

The arrival of the three people naturally attracted the attention of the guards. Especially when they saw Bai Yaoyi, their expressions became serious and they saluted and greeted her with extreme respect.

For a while, the voice of "Master Uncle" continued.

Bai Yaoyi was already accustomed to this. She responded with a calm nod, then led the two of them forward.

However, before they got close to the city gate, the snow apes seemed to be frightened and retreated in panic, making fearful whimpering sounds.

This immediately made the guards look surprised, and they kept scolding in strange animal language, but it was a pity that it had no effect at all.

Several snow apes huddled to the side with their arms clasped over their heads, looking at Han Li with undisguised fear in their eyes.

Bai Yaoyi immediately thought of something. She remembered that when they were in the Yin-Yang Cave before, Fellow Daoist Han seemed to have a powerful ape-like spirit beast. So the performance of these snow apes before her was understandable.

"It's okay, it's okay." She naturally didn't explain too much. She informed a few guards and then walked directly into the city. Mo Juren and Han Li followed.

Not until the three figures disappeared did the snow apes calm down a little, but the fear in their eyes still remained.

The guards who saw this scene looked at each other, but did not dare to ask any more questions.

……

When you enter the ice city, the first thing that catches your eye is a straight main street. It is extremely wide and the ground is covered with a thick layer of ice.

There were two rows of buildings neatly built on both sides of the street. It was more like a castle than a city. There were not many pedestrians on the road at this time. Most of them were low-level monks, and their clothes were mainly yellow and white.

Under the leadership of Bai Yaoyi, the three gradually left the main street, turning left and right into a remote path, until they reached the end, where they were blocked by an ice wall.

Mo Juren was slightly surprised. This ice wall was hundreds of feet high, which was really huge.

At this moment, Bai Yaoyi suddenly raised her arm, and a jade plate shining with silver light flew out, then disappeared into the ice wall in a flash.

After a moment, the ice wall suddenly trembled silently, and slowly split in the middle, revealing a passage more than two meters wide.

"Those buildings on the top of the mountain that look like palaces are actually just for the low-level disciples of the inner palace to practice and live in. The real high-level inner palace disciples live in the Hanli Secret Realm behind this ice wall. That is the real core of my Xiaoji Palace..." Bai Yaoyi introduced while leading the two into the passage.

The passage was not long, but after walking for more than a hundred feet, the front suddenly opened up and what came into view was a whole new world full of lush greenery, singing birds and fragrant flowers.

To be precise, this is a fully enclosed valley surrounded by mountain walls on all sides. It is sunny and spring-like all year round, and all kinds of colorful exotic flowers and plants are everywhere.

On one side, there are a number of pavilions half leaning against the mountain wall, with exquisite appearance. In the most central area of ​​the valley, there are three large halls built with white jade, which almost occupy one-third of the entire valley.

The moment he saw the three halls, even Mo Juren, who had been mentally prepared, could not help but narrow his eyes slightly, and Han Li was even more shocked, but he tried hard not to show it.

"Xu Tian Palace!"

The same thought occurred to both of them at the same time.

Han Li did think so, but Mo Juren knew that this was not Xutian Palace, but Xuling Palace.

However, the appearance of the two palaces is almost the same, only the size is different, and the two palaces are also closely related to Fairy Bingpo. Han Li couldn't help but glance at his master, and seeing that the other party didn't have any abnormality, he naturally didn't bother to ask more questions.

But at this time, Bai Yaoyi opened her red lips and took the initiative to introduce herself.

"These three halls are called Xuling Halls. They already existed when our sect was founded. It is said that the founder of the sect invited several powerful friends to build them together with great magic power. The mystery of them is something that we, the descendants, have not been able to fully understand until now."

"The methods of the ancient monks are indeed incredible." Mo Juren nodded slightly. This was not a perfunctory remark, but a thought from the heart.

Whether it is here, Kunwu Mountain, Tianxing City in the Chaos Star Sea, Xutian Palace and so on.

All of these are completely legendary in the current cultivation world. Not to mention replicating them, it is impossible to understand them at all.

Even some people with extraordinary talents can only understand the basics.

He thought of the Ice Soul Fairy again, this mysterious female cultivator who was active in ancient times and left countless inheritances in the human world. She was a legend of her generation.

I can be considered one of the beneficiaries, and I will be able to see him in person when I reach the spirit world in the future.

"I live in Bai Ning Pavilion not far ahead. Please follow me, fellow Taoists." Bai Yaoyi didn't know what the two were thinking, so she invited them again.

Mo Juren and Han Li also put away their thoughts and followed each other directly to a certain location on the mountain wall, and finally slowly landed in front of an attic.

This building has three floors, each of which is more than ten feet high. It is built entirely with emerald green wood, with only a small part of it outside, and the rest is embedded in the mountain.

There is a light yellow plaque hanging on the door of the attic, with three large silver characters "Bai Ning Pavilion" written on it.

"Master, when did you come back!" Just as the three of them landed on the ground, two women walked out of the attic in front of them, one big and one small, both of them were very beautiful.

When they suddenly saw Bai Yaoyi's figure, the two girls were stunned at first, and then they all showed ecstasy and stepped forward to greet her again.

  "I just got back too." Bai Yaoyi waved her slender hand lightly, and a gentle magical power lifted the two women up. After taking a look at them, she said again,

"Not bad. It seems that you two did not slack off during the time I was away, and your cultivation has improved."

"Thanks to our master's good teaching, we two naturally wouldn't dare to waste time." The two girls giggled, and it was obvious that they had a good relationship, and they didn't seem restrained in their words and actions.

At this time, the two women's attention shifted to the two strangers, and their eyes were filled with unconcealed curiosity.

Being able to return together with the master, he must not be an ordinary person.

who can that be?

  While the two girls were thinking, Bai Yaoyi took the initiative to introduce:

"These two girls are my useless disciples. I'm sorry to have embarrassed you two fellow Taoists. This is not the place to talk. Let's go in first."

Mo Juren naturally had no objection, and then everyone walked towards the attic together.

After the figures of several people disappeared, in another place, in front of a loft about dozens of feet away, a figure appeared with a look of surprise.

He immediately took out a communication talisman, activated it and said something to himself. Then the talisman turned into an ice-blue light and broke through the air.

……

In the hall on the first floor of the attic, Bai Yaoyi was already sitting in the main seat, and Master Mo Juren and his apprentice were also seated.

  At this time, the former snorted coldly and pretended to rebuke:

"You two damn girls, why don't you hurry up and salute the two seniors."

"Ah..." The two women reacted instantly and without hesitation, they stepped forward to greet him.

  "No need to be polite." Mo Juren smiled slightly, and suddenly a white light flashed in his hand, revealing two half-foot long white jade boxes, which flew forward and said,

"Since this is our first meeting, I'll give you these two things as a gift."

"This..." I didn't expect there would be a gift, and it came from a Yuanying stage expert. It's worth a lot of money. The two girls were naturally moved, but they didn't accept it immediately, but looked at their master.

"Since it's a gift from Fellow Daoist Mo, just accept it." This was just a small matter, so Bai Yaoyi naturally wouldn't be pretentious and deliberately refuse.

As expected, with the master's approval, the two women no longer hesitated and immediately put the things away. At the same time, they were also very smart to bow again to express their gratitude.

At this time, Han Li also took out two bottles of pills and handed them over, which made the two women even more delighted. After putting them away, they bowed respectfully again.

Today was definitely a big harvest, and the two women were naturally overjoyed. Following Bai Yaoyi's instructions, they personally fetched the precious spiritual tea and brewed it before finally saying goodbye and leaving.

At this moment, an exquisite token suddenly appeared in Bai Yaoyi's hand. With a gentle wave, the entire hall was directly covered by an invisible light shield.

"Friend Mo is very powerful, there is no doubt about that. But I still want to say that since you intend to take charge of Xiaoji Palace, you can't just rely on brute force. It would be best if you can get the recognition of many families."

  "Agree?" Mo Juren laughed.

"I am an outsider. Even if I claim that I have inherited the legacy of Fairy Bingpo, do you think they will believe me?"

"Of course not, but as I said before, if you want to achieve the goal of completely controlling Xiaoji Palace, you can't just rely on brute force, you also need careful planning."

"What do you think?" Mo Juren did not express his opinion immediately, but asked the other party calmly.

"Of course we should inquire around first to see the attitudes of the major families, and then act according to circumstances. Leave this matter to me, and please rest assured, there will be no problem." Bai Yaoyi gave her suggestion confidently, but Mo Juren did not agree immediately after hearing this.

  "Your idea is good, but it's a bit too conservative and time-consuming." Mo Juren smiled coldly.

"Those who do great things are just using both kindness and force. These two points are just a piece of cake for me. Why bother to go on about it?"

"You want to use both kindness and force?" Bai Yaoyi suddenly thought of something and her expression became solemn.

  She did not doubt whether the other party could do it, but was weighing what kind of chain reaction would be caused if he really did so?

After thinking for a moment, she said again,

"Since the former Palace Master Xu disappeared without a reason, Xiaoji Palace has been jointly managed by many families. Among them, the Bai family, the Liu family, the Ye family and the Shi family are the most powerful. Although the rest of the Ren family, the Jin family, the Ouyang family, etc. are a little weaker, they are also equally powerful.

If you really intend to attack Huanglong, you need to start with the four strongest families: Bai, Liu, Ye, and Shi. Controlling them is basically equivalent to controlling almost half of Xiaoji Palace.

The strongest person in the Bai family is our ancestor, who is already in the late Nascent Soul stage. In addition, the Liu family, the Ye family, and the Shi family each have a late-stage great cultivator.

If we can deal with these four people, the four major families will definitely choose to surrender, and the other families will also follow suit."

"Your suggestion is good, I will consider it." Mo Juren nodded, agreeing with what the other party said.

After discussing the important matters, Mo Juren decided not to stay any longer and immediately stood up and said goodbye to Han Li.

Bai Yaoyi removed the ban and was just about to see him off in person, but unexpectedly, a figure suddenly walked into the hall.

He was a young man with a fair face and gray hair, but his eyes were sharp and bright.

The moment they saw the young man, Mo Juren and Han Li did not show any signs of abnormality, except Bai Yaoyi, whose expression suddenly became extremely unnatural.
