Mortals: Take Mo Juren at the start

Chapter 851: Palace Master Liu and the Enmity

"Junior Sister Bai, you're finally back." As the man walked into the hall, he immediately greeted her eagerly. However, when he looked at the two unfamiliar figures beside him, his eyes revealed an undisguised scrutiny.

"Senior Brother Ren Bi." Bai Yaoyi looked indifferent and nodded slightly in response, but the man didn't care about her cold attitude at all and still asked with a smile,

"Junior sister, who are these two?"

"They are friends I met outside, Fellow Daoist Mo and Fellow Daoist Han..." Bai Yaoyi did not hide anything and gave a brief explanation, while also introducing the man to Mo Juren and the other man.

  "It's you, Ren Daoyou. Nice to meet you." Mo Juren remembered this person's background. Wasn't he the pursuer of Bai Yaoyi in the original novel? He came here so quickly. Maybe there was some unknown reason?

Ren Bi naturally had no idea that her true identity had been exposed, and she also responded with a smile. However, her expression was completely different from when she faced Han Li. There was a hint of barely perceptible hostility in her eyes as she looked at Mo Juren.

"My two fellow Taoists have come from afar, but is there anything you can do for me? If you are willing, you can tell me. As the host here, I think I have some honor." Ren Bi's eyes flashed slightly, and he asked with a smile again.

  "We have heard of the great name of Xiaoji Palace for a long time, so we came to visit. As for the matter, there is indeed one thing, but Miss Bai can solve it, so there is no need to trouble you, Ren Daoist." Mo Juren said perfunctorily, but Ren Bi was unwilling to give up after hearing this, and asked again,

"Fellow Daoist Mo, you are being too polite. Since you are Junior Sister Bai's friend, you are also my friend. Why bother me? Just tell me what you want. I promise to do my best. As for Junior Sister, she is not good at socializing, so it will be difficult to deal with her..."

"Senior Brother Ren, you passed." Without waiting for Ren Bi to finish, Bai Yaoyi interrupted him with a cold face.

  "Junior sister, I..." Ren Bi heard the anger in the other party's words and hurriedly wanted to explain something, but Bai Yaoyi raised her hand to stop her again.

"I will entertain my friends. But Senior Brother, I remember you were in seclusion to comprehend the 'Sea Mysterious Ice Formation'. How come you came out so soon? Don't tell me you have already comprehended the first strange formation of Beiming Island. If you do, I will congratulate you."

"The 'Li Hai Xuan Bing Formation' is one of the top five super secret formations in our sect. It is not so easy to comprehend. It is precisely because I have encountered a bottleneck that I have come here to ask my junior sister for advice." Ren Bi smiled embarrassedly and explained quickly.

"Ask me for advice?" Bai Yaoyi narrowed her eyes. The other party had the nerve to tell such a clumsy lie, but she thought of something, so she didn't expose him.

"Then please wait for a moment, Senior Brother. It won't be too late to discuss after I settle the two distinguished guests."

"Please go ahead, Junior Sister." Hearing that the other party did not refuse, Ren Bi was secretly delighted. She didn't say anything more and let the other party go on with her busy work.

Bai Yaoyi did not delay and immediately stood up with Master Mo Juren and his disciples and walked out of the hall.

……

At the same time, in another attic not far away.

Two women, one big and one small, were sitting opposite each other, drinking tea and chatting about something.

One of them was a little younger, wearing a white snow-white dress, and looked extremely similar to Bai Yaoyi; the other beautiful woman was a little older, wearing a purple long dress, and her appearance was equally good.

"Seventh sister is back, and she brought back two strange men. This is really unexpected!" The young woman put down the teacup in her hand and said curiously.

  "It should be a friend I made outside. What's so strange about that?" The beautiful woman smiled charmingly, obviously not caring too much. However, the young woman who heard this shook her head slightly.

"Senior Sister Ru doesn't know my Seventh Sister. She has always been aloof and has high standards. Not everyone can catch her eye. These two people were able to become her friends and were brought back to the sect. Obviously, they are not simple people."

"Junior Sister Bai is traveling around Dajin. Could it be that she is from one of the ten great sects of righteousness and evil?" The beautiful woman's eyes flickered slightly, and she was also a little curious.

  "Maybe." The young woman turned the teacup in her hand and said meaningfully.

"The land in the far north of the Xiaoji Palace is strong enough, but it has never been accepted by the righteous and evil sects. Instead, they regard us as barbarians and are unwilling to make too many friends. If these two people are really from a sect of the righteous and evil sects, and have become friends with my seventh sister and come to this palace, I wonder what their purpose is?"

"You are cousins. If you want to find out the reason, just ask her directly. Why bother to overthink it here? Besides, this is the territory of my Xiaoji Palace. Even if those two people have some intentions, can they have any impact?" The beautiful woman smiled softly, looking unusually calm.

  "Sister, you are right. I was overthinking it." The young woman nodded, but suddenly changed the subject.

"Speaking of the ten great sects of good and evil, it reminds me of something. Not long ago, news came back that the legendary Kunwu Sacred Mountain actually appeared in southern Xinjiang. I wonder if Seventh Sister knows about this?"

  "I have also heard about this matter. It is rumored that it is related to the Ye family, the royal family of the Great Jin Dynasty. As for the specific situation, I don't know." The beautiful woman smiled helplessly and continued,

"It's a pity that we are deep in the extreme north, too far away from Dajin, not to mention the southernmost Nanjiang area. Even if such a sacred mountain holy land is born, we have no chance to visit it!"

"I wonder how much Seventh Sister knows? I can ask her for a few questions later..."

……

Bai Yaoyi suddenly returned and brought back two strange men. The news quickly spread throughout the Hanli Secret Realm, and almost all the senior officials of Xiaoji Palace knew about it.

Everyone couldn't help but speculate about the origins of these two people, and at the same time, they were talking about it. However, the master and disciple Mo Juren, who were the parties involved, had already been settled in an independent attic next to Bai Ning Pavilion.

"As expected of the number one sect in the north, the foundation of this Xiaoji Palace should not be underestimated." In the room, Mo Juren withdrew his spiritual sense and smiled coldly. Just after a simple investigation, he found that there were at least a dozen spiritual senses observing in secret.

"His strength is indeed not low, but compared with Master, it is still not good enough." Han Li also withdrew his consciousness and went straight to the point.

"What are you going to do next? Are you going to follow Miss Bai's advice, or are you going to be more radical?"

"What do you think?" Mo Juren did not answer, but asked the other party with a smile.

"With Master's strength, it is not a problem to directly take down those four late-stage great monks. However, as Miss Bai said, this method is a bit too radical and may cause the opposite effect." Han Li thought about it and replied immediately.

  "If you can cultivate to the late Nascent Soul stage, you will naturally not compromise so easily. But the premise of all this is that you have enough strength to fight back. Otherwise, you can't even save your life, so what else can you talk about?" Mo Juren sneered and continued,

"Okay, there's no need to dwell on this matter any more. Let's think about the next action plan. There's no need to wait for Bai Yaoyi. We can just take the initiative."

"After all, this is Xiaoji Palace. The four of them have the advantage of location and people. We must not let them down. Therefore, we cannot let them join forces. It is best to take the lead and defeat them one by one."

"Defeat them one by one?" Mo Juren murmured, and immediately thought of the original destiny. Facing the joint siege of the ice sea and land monsters, the Palace Master of Xiaoji Palace, surnamed Liu, simply detonated the Xu Ling Palace directly, destroying the space node to prevent the enemy from succeeding.

It can be seen that the character of Palace Master Liu is extremely strong, so once he makes a move, he must not be allowed any chance to breathe, otherwise it will be troublesome if he really fights to the death.

  He turned his head to look at the sky outside the window and said again,

"There is no time to lose. We will take action tonight."

"So fast, that white girl..."

"I will tell her about the situation in the evening. It will be easier with her help."

"This couldn't be better..." ...

As night falls, the entire Hanli Secret Realm becomes hazy.

At this time, Mo Juren and Han Li appeared in Bai Ning Pavilion again. After telling their plan, Bai Yaoyi suddenly fell silent.

"Do we really need to do it right away?" After thinking for a moment, Bai Yaoyi finally asked.

  "Don't hesitate about things that have already been decided. Solving them early will save you trouble." Mo Juren nodded and continued,

"Let's choose Palace Master Liu as our first target, lest he has a strong personality and does something extreme because he can't think straight."

"Senior Sister Liu is indeed someone who doesn't compromise easily." Bai Yaoyi nodded slightly without asking any more questions. She then took out a communication talisman, activated it, and sent out a message.

"I have given you a piece of news that is of sufficient weight. Senior Sister Liu should be here soon to keep the appointment. Do you need to make any preparations?"

"That's not necessary." Mo Juren waved his hand, then picked up the teacup and began to drink leisurely. Han Li next to him was also very calm and not worried at all.

Seeing this scene, and thinking of the time when the other party had displayed his great power, Bai Yaoyi didn't say anything more.

Just as she said, the Palace Master surnamed Liu hurried over not long after.

This is a middle-aged beauty who looks to be in her thirties or forties, with a graceful figure and beautiful appearance, but her temperament is as cold as ice. Perhaps because she has been the head of the Xiaoji Palace for a long time, she has developed an aura of a superior who looks down on others.

It was inevitable to introduce each other when meeting for the first time. After the greetings, she stopped beating around the bush and went straight to the point:

"Junior sister sent a message earlier, saying that she had discovered the inheritance of the founder of the sect, Fairy Bingpo. Is that true?"

"That's true." Bai Yaoyi nodded slightly, then pointed at Mo Juren in the distance and said,

"The inheritance left by the founder of the sect is in this person's hands."

  "What, on him... Daoist Fellow Mo?" Palace Master Liu was stunned for a moment, then looked at him expectantly.

"Fellow Daoist, please forgive me. I was too excited and said something inappropriate. But Junior Sister Bai mentioned that the inheritance left by our sect's founder is in your hands. Is that true?"

"The thing is indeed here with me." Mo Juren nodded slightly, and then a white light flashed in his hand, revealing a white jade slip with a peculiar shape. It was obvious at a glance that it was not an ordinary item.

The moment he saw the jade slip, Palace Master Liu became extremely excited. The unique appearance of the jade slip was exactly the same as the information recorded in it.

This jade slip was personally refined by the founder of the sect in ancient times. It is different from ordinary jade slips. Initially, it was always controlled by the Xu family at that time. Unexpectedly, the Palace Master Xu at that time suddenly disappeared, and the jade slip also disappeared.

I didn't expect that after tens of thousands of years, I would be able to see this jade slip again. The surprise in my heart was naturally beyond words.

"I see that Daoist Fellow Mo's mana is pure and strong, mixed with a hint of extreme coldness. If my guess is correct, he must have practiced the technique in this jade slip, right?"

"Palace Master Liu is right. I am indeed practicing the Ice Soul Mysterious Art. Is there a problem?" Mo Juren laughed and asked the other party.

"This is the opportunity that Fellow Daoist Mo has obtained, and it is reasonable for him to practice the technique. However, this technique belongs to my Xiaoji Palace after all, and it is absolutely not allowed to be passed on to outsiders.

  Fellow Daoist just mentioned that he is not a cultivator from the Dajin region, but comes from the more distant southern part of Tiannan. How about joining our Xiaoji Palace and becoming an outer sect elder?

In this way, the restrictions on practicing this technique will no longer exist. At the same time, by joining my Xiaoji Palace, you can gain more experience in practicing ice-attributed techniques. This is also a good thing that kills two birds with one stone."

  "Join Xiaoji Palace!" Mo Juren suddenly laughed, and his laughter made Palace Master Liu feel cold in her heart.

"That's no problem, but with my ability, isn't it a bit of a waste to just be an elder?"

  "What do you mean, Daoist Mo?" Palace Master Liu frowned, feeling that there was something else behind the other party's words. Sure enough, Mo Juren did not beat around the bush and said directly,

"I want to become the new generation Palace Master of Xiaoji Palace. I wonder if Brother Liu is willing to give up the throne?"

  "Ask me to abdicate and let someone else take over? You are so arrogant." Palace Master Liu smiled coldly.

"I thought you were a smart man, but I never thought you were so ignorant of current affairs. Don't blame me for being ruthless."

Before he finished speaking, Palace Master Liu's mind moved, and a faint precious light flickered in his palm.

However, before he could make a move, Mo Juren took the first step. With a flash of white light, an imperial decree shot out and hit the opponent's dantian directly.

"How is this possible!" The moment the imperial decree entered his body, Palace Master Liu immediately felt as if his entire body was imprisoned and he could no longer mobilize any magical power.

This really frightened her. Without the power, a monk would be no better than an ordinary person. The key was how the other party did it. She lost her resistance after just one encounter.

This scene naturally fell into Bai Yaoyi's eyes. Although she was mentally prepared, she still couldn't describe the shocking feeling when she actually saw it.

How strong is the opponent?

The late-stage cultivators are like ants in his hands and can be manipulated at will?

  I also thought of the Silver-Winged Yaksha that I encountered in the Yin-Yang Cave in the past, which was almost evolving into a Golden-Bodied Moon Corpse. But it was an existence comparable to half of the God Transformation Stage, and didn’t it also end in failure?

The current situation is not surprising.

"What do you think, Palace Master Liu, are you still going to be ruthless?" Mo Juren looked at the other party with a smile, but after hearing this, Palace Master Liu showed no intention of compromising.

"I have to admit that you do have some tricks up your sleeve, but even if you ban me, what can you do? You are just daydreaming if you want to be the master of Xiaoji Palace."

"Whether it's a dream or not, your words don't count." Mo Juren sneered, and then planned to plant a ban in the other person's body. However, at this moment, something strange happened suddenly.

A strong yin energy suddenly erupted from the body of Liu Gongzhu, followed by a rough and sharp laugh.
