Mortals: Take Mo Juren at the start

Chapter 861: Monsters Invade

Faced with the impending war, the elders of Xiaoji Palace were naturally extremely cautious, and each of them racked their brains to come up with one suggestion after another.

Perhaps it was because of the new Palace Master, Mo Juren, who did not belong to any side and was relatively neutral, that everyone put aside their previous disputes and behaved unusually united.

What is particularly crucial is that the new palace lord is extremely powerful, which naturally makes everyone instinctively convinced and they have already vaguely regarded him as their backbone.

All in all, the effect of this meeting was surprisingly good. After everyone discussed it and obtained Mo Juren's consent, everything was arranged properly.

The meeting ended in the evening when it was getting dark and everyone left.

As time passed slowly, the situation on Beiming Island became more and more serious.

There have been more and more reports of demons being spotted in coastal areas, and there have been dozens of sporadic conflicts of varying sizes.

In order to have a clearer grasp of the dynamics of the demon race, Xiaoji Palace continuously sent people to investigate, and even elders at the Nascent Soul stage were mobilized.

The news we received was not good. For some unknown reason, the scale of the attack by the two demon tribes this time seemed to be greater than any previous one.

Needless to say, there have always been countless low-level monsters, far beyond what Xiaoji Palace can compare to, and there are also many high-level monsters above the transformation stage.

One time when Han Li went out to gather information, he happened to encounter a large number of demons in the transformation stage who were gathering together, seemingly discussing some plan.

Among them are not only the Ice Sea Monster Clan, but also some from the Ten Thousand Monsters Valley.

This is enough to prove that the two major demon tribes are really going to start a war this time.

  Faced with such a situation, the elders of Xiaoji Palace were naturally worried, but they didn't know that the forces dispatched by the two major demon tribes were more than just this.

If nothing unexpected happens, the level ten Ice Phoenix in the Ice Sea, which has lived for who knows how many tens of thousands of years, and the Lord of the Ten Thousand Demons Valley, Che Laoyao, will both come over. Of course, the latter is just an incarnation.

But neither of these two is an easy target.

The strength of that Ice Phoenix could not be defined as that of a level ten demon beast. It already possessed the conditions to break through to the Divine Transformation stage, but it was just deliberately suppressing the breakthrough.

Coupled with the many powerful magical powers that this monster is born with, its actual combat power is not inferior to that of a cultivator in the early stage of the Spirit Transformation Realm.

As for the incarnation of Old Demon Che, he is also not comparable to ordinary late Nascent Soul cultivators. If he is assisted by the Ten Thousand Demons Banner, his actual combat power will naturally be improved.

Mo Juren was of course aware of these situations. Far from being afraid, he had been looking forward to them for a long time. However, he did not reveal a single detail to anyone in order to avoid causing unnecessary complications.

In this way, more than half a month passed again.

One day, a large number of monsters finally began to appear outside Beiming Island, and they no longer had any reservations and showed up in a grand manner.

These monsters were divided into two groups, as if they had agreed in advance, and attacked from the inland and ice sea directions respectively.

Wherever the army passed, the air was filled with evil spirits and murderous aura.

Some small families and sects that originally lived near Beiming Island were naturally frightened and moved their settlements away from Beiming Island.

Such a huge momentum naturally could not be concealed from the Xiaoji Palace. Almost at the same time, the Tianyuan Yinmai on the island and the restrictions set up in advance by the Hanyan in various places were all opened.

In an instant, endless cold air gushed out, and the temperature of the entire island dropped several times compared to usual. There was wind and snow everywhere between heaven and earth.

Seeing this, the demons coming from the inland immediately stopped and ordered all the low-level demon beasts to temporarily station outside the island in order to slowly consume the cold air stored on the island. At the same time, they also sent out dozens of elite teams of demon beasts above level seven to continue to move deeper into the island.

In contrast, the monsters that had lived in the depths of the ice sea all year round were not afraid of the cold and snow at all. They stepped directly onto the island. At the same time, thousands of monsters formed countless teams and flew straight to the Xiaoji Palace.

The area of ​​Beiming Island is not big, but not small either. When these monsters rushed into it, they were immediately like a drop in the ocean, blending into the ice and snow and disappearing without a trace.

Xiaoji Palace naturally wouldn't let these monsters get close to the Ice City so easily, so they immediately rubbed their hands, planning to fight back using formations and boundless cold air.

For a moment, a murderous atmosphere filled the sky and earth.

……

Hanli Secret Realm, the meeting hall.

At this time, Mo Juren sat calmly in the main seat, drinking tea and communicating with Liu Yunruo beside him.

As for Ye Long and Bai Xun, as well as Han Li and many other Nascent Soul elders, they had already stayed outside as planned to deal with the situation on the front line.

"From the news we just got, the number of monsters above the human form transformation stage dispatched by the Ice Sea Monster Clan and the Ten Thousand Monster Valley is about forty, which is far more than us. Not to mention the low-level monster army, whose number is vast. The situation is not optimistic!" Liu Yunruo frowned slightly, her expression unusually solemn.

"The number is indeed not small, but there is no need to worry too much. I'm not exaggerating, but even if Che Laoyao comes in person, I will not be afraid." Mo Juren laughed, and his calm tone revealed great confidence.

Hearing this, Liu Yunruo was stunned for a moment, wondering if he had heard it wrong.

She admitted that the other party was very powerful, and a late Nascent Soul expert like herself could easily defeat him, but Che Laoyao was different. He was a top-level demon who had survived from ancient times to the present.

  How could such an existence be so easy to deal with?

Fortunately, these top monsters and even many powerful humans in the God Transformation Stage seem to be cautious about something and will not easily start a war.

As the master of the Ten Thousand Demons Valley, Che Laoyao was naturally no exception. Even though he had cooperated with the Ice Sea Demon Clan to attack Xiaoji Palace several times over the past tens of thousands of years, he himself had never participated in it.

While the two were talking, suddenly, a Jindan stage disciple hurriedly walked into the hall.

"Reporting to the two Palace Masters, the demon army is approaching and is staying outside the island. A part of the vanguard has begun to enter the formation and is constantly approaching the Ice City." After saying this, the disciple took out a jade slip and said again,

"In addition, Elder Ye asked the disciple to present this item, saying that it is extremely important."

"Oh?" Liu Yunruo couldn't help but reveal a curious look. She stretched out her slender hand forward, and an invisible force directly took the jade slip into her palm. Then she began to investigate.

"Hey, this is it!" After reading the contents, the curiosity on Liu Yunruo's face instantly disappeared, replaced by an extremely solemn expression. "What's wrong?" Mo Juren was a little surprised and asked immediately.

"Junior brother, please take a look at the information that has just been sent back." Liu Yunruo did not explain, but directly handed the jade slip over. After taking it, Mo Juren did not hesitate and immediately immersed his mind in it.

"I see." He quickly finished reading the content and understood why the other party looked so serious.

The jade slip recorded the intelligence that had just been obtained, and mentioned the accurate information about some powerful people in the demon army.

One existence was mentioned in particular, who seemed to be the leader of the Ice Sea Monster clan, and it seemed to be the ancient Ice Phoenix that had lived for who knows how many tens of thousands of years.

It was no wonder that Liu Yunruo was so nervous. After all, this person had always been living in seclusion in Bingyuan Island to practice in seclusion. He almost never went out, let alone participate in such a trivial matter as attacking Xiaoji Palace.

However, this time, the other party came anyway, which was obviously abnormal.

On the other hand, there seems to be too many level ten monsters in the Valley of Ten Thousand Monsters. There are three that have been detected alone, and it is not clear whether there are more.

"Interesting!" Mo Juren's eyes flashed slightly. If his guess was correct, among the ten-level monsters dispatched by the Ten Thousand Monsters Valley, there should be Gui Ling and the Lion Beast, at least one of them.

This is not difficult to understand. He arranged the two monsters to lurk in the Valley of Ten Thousand Monsters, so it is naturally impossible for them to go in and enjoy themselves.

How could Che Laoyao allow this?

Such a powerful help must be used. It happened that this time when attacking Xiaoji Palace, he was determined to win, so he brought the two monsters with him.

"Does Elder Ye and the others have any instructions?" Liu Yunruo asked, putting away his thoughts.

"Elder Bai and Elder Ye are directing the disciples in the palace to fight the enemy, and they said there is no problem at the moment. But the enemy is too strong. Once they attack with all their strength, they will definitely not be able to stop them by themselves."

  "Got it. Go down and report any situation immediately." Liu Yunruo waved her hand, signaling the other party to leave, and then looked at Mo Juren again.

"Under the current situation, Elder Ye and his men can't handle it alone. Let's go out and help immediately."

"Okay." Mo Juren shook his head slightly, then stood up and left the hall with the other party.

……

At this time on the Beiming Island, with the entry of countless demon armies, they had begun to fight back and forth with the monks of Xiaoji Palace.

Although most of them were just low-level monsters and low-level cultivators, the two sides were still fighting fiercely, and the battle was difficult to resolve and extremely brutal.

As for the top leaders of both sides, they have not taken any action at this moment.

At the same time, dozens of figures were gathered in the demon army outside the island to discuss something.

These are all great monsters above the transformation stage, but they are divided into two camps.

There were more than a dozen people on one side, surrounding an old man and a young child, one tall and one short. Next to them stood an ugly woman and a huge flying bird.

On the other side, there were more monsters in the transformation stage, reaching more than twenty of them, but they were surrounding a slender silver fir woman.

The former naturally came from the Valley of Ten Thousand Demons. Although their number was small, there were four level ten demons. In comparison, although the number of Ice Sea demons was large, there was only one level ten demon, the woman named Yinshan.

There were obvious differences between the two sides. Everyone from the Ten Thousand Demons Valley was neatly dressed, and except for their strange appearances, their behavior and actions were no different from those of human cultivators. And when they looked at the other group of monsters, there was even a hint of contempt in their eyes.

The Ice Sea Monsters presented a completely different picture. Each of them had evil deeds and evil looks, and most of them were naked. Even if they had clothes, they were only simple clothing such as fur.

What is even more strange is that although these monsters in the transformation stage all have storage bags made of animal skins, they still carry some swords, knives, axes and halberds like weapons on their backs or in their hands, with no intention of putting them away.

Obviously, this group of demons still retain more of their primitive savagery. Each one of them looks ferocious and exudes a murderous aura all the time.

These monsters also felt uncomfortable when they looked at their fellow monsters who looked like "humans" on the opposite side.

The old man among the monsters was wearing a black robe, with a square and dignified face, bright eyes, and a faint green glow in his gray hair, giving people a sense of majesty without anger. The child beside him looked about six or seven years old, with delicate eyebrows, red lips and white teeth, like a jade child from heaven. However, his eyes were slightly red, as if there was a layer of blood covering his pupils.

As for the silver fir woman on the other side, she had an elegant appearance and skin as white as snow. She was obviously a beautiful woman with a stunning beauty.

However, even such a delicate "weak woman" could make the fierce and high-level monsters surrounding her lower their heads one after another, looking extremely terrified when her eyes slightly turned.

At this time, the silver fir woman was looking at the other two figures with great interest, who were the ugly woman and the giant flying bird.

The two of them naturally noticed it, but they ignored it. Instead, the child asked after a flash of blood in his eyes:

"Fairy Feng is keeping such a close eye on my two friends, but what's the problem?"

Although he looked like a child, the voice he made sounded extremely old, as if he were a man in his seventies.

Such an inconsistent scene can't help but give people a thrilling and weird feeling.

“How could that be? I’m just a little curious about the origins of these two fellow Taoists. I think they should not be from the Valley of Ten Thousand Demons, right?” The silver fir woman asked with a smile.

"Fairy, you have a keen eye, and I can't hide it from you. As for the origins of my two friends, it's really hard to explain, so please forgive me." The child laughed, but obviously had no intention of explaining. He didn't continue the topic, and then looked at the battlefield in front of him, and changed the subject.

"It's quite a coincidence. Although the spies who sneaked in secretly before met with accidents one after another, they still sent back a crucial piece of information. For some reason, the strongest person in Xiaoji Palace, Master Hanli, seemed to have passed away several years ago."

"I do know a little about this person. He had already cultivated to the peak of the late Nascent Soul stage three hundred years ago. Unfortunately, he made no progress after that. He must have reached the end of his life, so he passed away." The silver fir woman's eyes flashed, and she said with a sneer.

"No matter what the reason is, it is extremely beneficial for our operation this time. If we originally had 70% confidence, now it can reach 90%." The old man on the side also echoed.

  "That being said, we can't be careless. An ancient sect like Xiaoji Palace that has been passed down for tens of thousands of years cannot have a weak foundation. Apart from other things, the Xuling Palace alone is mysterious enough." The child shook his head slightly, but his eyes suddenly flashed, and he looked at the silver fir woman and said,

"It seems that Fairy Feng has been dissatisfied with this Xiaoji Palace for a long time, and has always wanted to take the opportunity to get rid of the lineage of cultivators left in the human world by Fairy Bingpo in the past. This time, she agreed to come together. Putting aside the matter of finding the space node, fellow Daoist may also be borrowing the power of my Ten Thousand Demon Valley to kill with a borrowed knife."
