Mortals: Take Mo Juren at the start

Chapter 878 Yinluo Sect

The Yinluo Sect, located in Fengzhou, is one of the ten great demon sects in the Dajin Dynasty. It once occupied the top position among the demon sects for thousands of years and is a well-known super sect.

However, with the passing of the sect's last great elder who was in the Spirit Transformation Stage, the Yinluo Sect's position as the number one in the magic world began to waver. It was not until the rise of the Tianmo Sect more than a thousand years ago that it completely fell from the throne of number one.

But even so, the Yinluo Sect is still one of the top-ranked sects in the entire Dajin, and no one dares to provoke it easily.

However, no one knew that at this time, the people in the Yinluo Sect were already in a panic as some rumors emerged.

More than ten years ago, the natal soul lamp that the great elder Qian Lao Mo placed in the sect's secret place suddenly went out, which meant that he had died. This was definitely an unbearable blow to the Yinluo Sect.

Although Old Demon Qian is in the late Nascent Soul stage, his strength is among the best in the same level. Without him in charge, the only remaining late-stage powerhouse, Sect Master Fang, suddenly became alone and unable to support the team.

Especially as the news of the death of Old Demon Qian inevitably spread, other sects in the nearby areas also began to stir.

At this time inside the Yinluo Sect, in the meeting hall, dozens of figures were sitting in different places, all of them were discussing something with serious expressions.

If Mo Juren were here, he would definitely recognize the person sitting on the main seat at the first moment. It was the Sect Master Fang who had fought with him in the battle at the Tiannan border in the past.

There was another person next to him, a cold and beautiful woman in a purple palace dress, who was his wife.

"How is it, have you found anything?" Putting away his confused thoughts, Sect Master Fang looked again not far ahead, where stood a middle-aged man wrapped in a black robe, with the cultivation level of the late Jindan stage.

"Although there is no definite evidence, based on the analysis of some clues we have obtained, it is most likely the Blood Bone Sect." The man in black robe thought for a moment and then replied.

"Blood Bone Sect!" Sect Master Fang's expression darkened, his eyes filled with murderous intent.

Half a month ago, a group of disciples from the sect who were out on business suddenly lost contact and their life or death was unknown.

He immediately sent people to investigate everywhere, but he didn't expect this result.

As a major demonic sect, the Blood and Bone Sect is equally powerful, but there is still a certain gap compared to the Yinluo Sect. In the past, they never dared to do anything rashly. But they never expected that the news of the Great Elder's accident had just spread, and it was not even 100% confirmed, so the other party could not hold back any longer.

"This old man Bi Huo is really brave. He dared to attack my Yinluo Sect disciples. He is simply courting death."

"Please give the order, Sect Master. We will go to the Blood Bone Sect immediately and ask Old Monster Bi to give an explanation!"

"Don't be impulsive. Maybe the one who attacked was just a disciple of the Blood Bone Sect, and Old Monster Bi is unaware of it..."

"Yes, the sect is facing many crises right now. If we really fight a war with the Blood Bone Sect, even if we win in the end, it will definitely end in a lose-lose situation. How will we deal with other possible crises at that time..."

"Do we have to endure it? Wouldn't that make people think that our Yinluo Sect is weak and can be bullied? Is there really a problem? I'm afraid that the trouble will be even greater then..."

"That's not what I meant. After all, I cannot remain indifferent to the killing of my sect's disciples. But I cannot be blindly impulsive. I must consider the overall situation..."

"..."

Everyone present was furious and wanted to attack the Blood Bone Sect directly, but there were also some rational people who quickly spoke out to stop them.

"Are you sure it's the Blood Bone Sect?" An old man with white hair, a slightly hunched body, but unusually rosy skin suddenly looked at the man in black robe and asked again.

"I dare not say it's 100%, but it's definitely more than 90%." As he said that, the man in black robe flipped his palm, took out a jade slip, and handed it to the other party respectfully.

The old man did not hesitate and immediately immersed his mind in it and began to check. However, in a flash, murderous intent suddenly appeared on his originally calm face.

With a light push of his skinny hand, the jade slip flew to the main seat.

"This should be true, but what Junior Brother Ling and the others said just now is not without reason. Please think twice, Sect Master."

"What suggestions do you have, old man?" After reading the contents of the jade slip, Sect Master Fang did not make a decision immediately, but asked respectfully.

In the Yinluo Sect, although the white-haired old man has only reached the peak of the middle Nascent Soul stage, he is the person with the highest seniority present. Even though he is the leader of a sect, he will remain polite when facing the old man.

"The sudden death of Qian boy has a huge impact on us. The overall strength of the sect has been greatly reduced. If we rashly go to war with the Xuegu Sect, both sides will suffer losses in the end. My Yinluo Sect will also be completely reduced to a second-rate sect. The loss outweighs the gain..." The white-haired old man sighed helplessly when he thought of the current situation.

After hearing what the old man said, the elders present, who were originally quite angry, fell silent.

They also came to their senses. Today's Yinluo Sect is no longer what it used to be. The most important thing right now is how to protect themselves and bide their time so as to accumulate strength for a comeback. However, there are no conditions to start a sectarian war.

  However, although this was the truth, how could they not feel angry? The Yinluo Sect, which was once so glorious and arrogant, was bullied by the Blood Bone Sect. Should they really swallow their anger?

“What the Great Elder said makes sense. It is indeed not appropriate to start a large-scale fight at this critical juncture, but it is also not okay to ignore it. That will make people think that our Yinluo Sect is weak and can be bullied.

We can actually change our thinking. There is no need to start a war. Hitting the snake at its weakest point can also have a deterrent effect. "After thinking for a moment, Sect Leader Fang suddenly said with a half-smile.

"Hit at the weak spot?" Everyone was stunned for a moment, but at this moment, the cold and beautiful woman at the side smiled charmingly and said,

"My husband, do you mean to target Old Monster Bi?"

"The one who understands me is my wife." Sect Master Fang laughed, and the people who heard this also reacted and showed a look of sudden realization.

"We understand what the Sect Master means, but that old monster Bi is quite powerful, and it won't be easy to take him down."

"Of course I know that, so this matter still needs long-term consideration." Sect Leader Fang sighed. He also knew that this matter was difficult. That old monster Bi was not only powerful, but he was also always cautious in his actions, and it would be difficult to find any flaws in him.

But even so, this matter must be done. Firstly, it is to show the attitude of Yinluo Sect, and secondly, it is for the future development of the sect.

The Xuegu Sect is also a large sect in Fengzhou and has a natural competitive relationship with the Yinluo Sect. In the past, since our sect was powerful, we naturally did not need to pay attention to the other party. However, with the accident of the great elder, some things need to be carefully considered.

  "Then how should we deal with the disappearance of our disciples?" someone asked again. Sect Master Fang did not hesitate and smiled grimly.

"The Blood Bone Sect is vicious and has offended countless enemies. If we can find all of them, they will be great chess pieces. We only need to secretly support them or even add fuel to the flames to cause incalculable losses to the Blood Bone Sect."

"The lord is wise."

"This method is really brilliant, why didn't I think of it?"

"It is more appropriate to build a team of chess pieces than to do it ourselves. Whether we win or lose, it will not affect us. The only loss is some resources." "..."

Everyone was talking at once, and it was obvious that they all agreed with this approach. At the same time, they also expressed their own opinions, telling one by one about the many mortal enemies that the Blood Bone Sect had offended in the past.

These are no secrets in Fengzhou, and these mortal enemies are quite powerful. However, because they are independent cultivators or small and medium-sized forces, they have always fought on their own and were powerless even when bullied by the Blood Bone Sect.

But if there is secret support from a big sect like the Yinluo Sect, it would be different. Resources and skills are only one factor. The key is that with a backer, one will naturally no longer be timid in doing things.

"Leave this matter to Junior Brother Ling. Just let us know if you need anything during the process. The sect will do its best to support you." Sect Master Fang made another promise, which immediately made the man named Ling feel relieved, and he accepted the important task without hesitation.

After discussing this matter, Sect Master Fang was silent for a moment, and even a hint of unnaturalness flashed in his eyes. Then he changed the subject and said:

"After so many years of investigation and analysis, we have basically come to a conclusion about the matter of the Great Elder."

"What, the murderer was found?"

"who is it?"

"Why do you want to attack the Great Elder..."

"..."

  After hearing what Sect Leader Fang said, the crowd that had originally calmed down became excited again, but Sect Leader Fang remained calm, and even had an indescribable sense of helplessness:

"I understand the feelings of the elders, but there are too many things involved in this matter. Even if we know who the murderer is, we can't do anything."

"It's too complicated?" Everyone was stunned. How deep is the water behind this? Why did the other party, the leader of Yinluo Sect, fear it so much?

But considering the strength of the Great Elder, how many people in the world can kill him? It is understandable that it is too involved.

Everyone has long known about what happened to the Great Elder in Kunwu Mountain in the past, but because it was deliberately blocked afterwards, some important information is nowhere to be found and can only be guessed.

At that time, there was not only Xuan Qingzi from Taiyi Sect, but also Qi Miao Zhenren from Tianmo Sect, two great immortal masters from the Tuwu tribe of the grassland, and even two powerful men in the God Transformation Stage from Dajin who showed up there.

These people are all possible targets. In addition, it is heard that the legendary ancient demon and even the soul of the saint ancestor of the demon world also appeared at that time, and they are also objects of suspicion.

"I have basically determined who the murderer is, but that person is too strange, and his strength is far beyond our reach. Even the entire Yinluo Sect may not be his opponent.

Since I am not as skilled as others, then this matter can only be left unresolved. I can just regard it as the Great Elder's bad luck and his fate..."

Having said this, Sect Leader Fang felt extremely depressed in his heart. However, when he thought of the secret information that he had paid a huge price to obtain, he no longer had any thoughts of revenge.

  The entire sect combined is no match for them! Everyone who heard this was instantly shocked beyond words, and they were even more speculative in their hearts, could it be that the murderer was really two beings in the God Transformation Stage?

Only they can deserve such a horrible evaluation.

Everyone became more and more curious, but they could see that the sect leader had no intention of revealing anything, so they could only suppress their curiosity in their hearts.

For a moment, the entire meeting hall suddenly became quiet.

Just when Sect Master Fang was about to end today's meeting, at this moment, a white light suddenly flashed at the entrance of the hall, and a figure emerged.

"It's him!" Sect Master Fang's face changed drastically after just one glance. In addition to shock, he was also filled with endless fear. He couldn't understand why the other party appeared here?

There is a mountain protection formation outside the Yinluo Sect's mountain gate, and there are no less than tens of thousands of disciples inside the sect. Yet the other party was able to come in quietly and then reach the meeting hall unimpeded.

terrible!

If he had retained a trace of doubt based on the information he had received before and analyzed that this person was most likely the one who killed the Great Elder, he now completely believed it.

  "Who are you, you dare to trespass into our sect..." Suddenly seeing a stranger appear in the hall, one of the Nascent Soul Middle Stage Elders stood up and shouted almost instinctively. However, as soon as he said this, he was immediately interrupted by Sect Master Fang, whose expression changed again.

"Shut up, Elder Xiao. This person is a good friend of mine. Don't be rude to him."

"Good...friends!" Not only Elder Xiao, but almost everyone present, except the cold and beautiful woman, was stunned on the spot, their brains unable to react.

The clan leader’s friend, is that true or false?

Also, how did this friend get in? Could it be that he got a pass token given by the sect leader?

"Friend Fang, I haven't seen you for many years. How have you been?" Hearing the other party calling him a friend, Mo Juren burst into laughter. At the same time, he also guessed that the other party must know something, otherwise he would not have such an attitude.

This saved him a lot of trouble. After all, Xiang Zhili and the other two had specifically told him that since he had already reached the level of Divine Transformation, he should not be too extreme when doing things, otherwise no one would be able to withstand it.

This is also the unspoken rule agreed upon by the three great Jindan stage cultivators.

Mo Juren did not refuse. Of course, the premise was that it would not affect his own interests, otherwise he would not be restricted by these so-called rules.

  "It turns out to be Fellow Daoist Mo. Thanks to you, I am fine." Sect Leader Fang forced a smile, then stood up and said with a hint of imperceptible respect on his face.

"It is a great honor for our sect to have you here, Daoist Fellow Mo, but this is not the place to talk. Can you please move to another place so that we can discuss anything in private?"

"Lead the way." Mo Juren replied calmly, and upon hearing this, Sect Master Fang felt relieved, but he still did not dare to be careless.

He gave a wink to the lady beside him, then appeared at the door in a flash, and disappeared away with the former in a warm manner.

It was not until the two had left for a while that everyone present finally came to their senses.

  what's the situation?

Is that person really the sect master’s friend?

  Wouldn't it be more appropriate to say that he was a senior? Otherwise, why would the Sect Master be so respectful?

Everyone couldn't help but look at the cold and beautiful woman sitting in the main seat. As the sect leader's wife, she must know more about the situation. Unfortunately, the latter had nothing to explain except a serious look on her face and even a shake of her head with a hint of fear.

It was not easy for everyone to catch up and take a look, so they could only let their imagination run wild and talk to each other in a low voice.

At the same time, under the guidance of Sect Master Fang, Mo Juren came to a quiet, remote and beautiful lake.

  Looking at the sparkling lake, Sect Master Fang had an extremely complicated expression. After pondering for a long time, he finally took the initiative to ask:

"Friend Mo Dao has come from afar, I wonder what you are talking about?"
