Mortals: Take Mo Juren at the start

"Senior, I..." The boy hesitated to speak, but Fairy Xuanming, who had guessed his thoughts, sighed.

"You don't need to worry too much. You should know that there is always a way out. Even if you follow us to ascend to the spirit world, it may not be another ray of hope."

"This..." The boy had never thought of this. When he was reminded of this by the other party, he suddenly felt enlightened.

That’s right, none of these people in front of me are good people. Let alone the one with the surname Mo, how could the combination of Venerable Xuanming and Saint Yuansha be simple?

Just as the other party said, serving under these two people might be a way out.

Taking a step back, what choice did he have? The other party obviously would not let him go, so he could only choose to surrender, and surrendering to an existence like Xuanming Zun seemed not difficult to accept.

The boy at the moment does not know that the Venerable Xuanming in front of him and the soul of the Saint Yuansha are all subordinates of Mo Juren, otherwise he would probably go crazy.

"Senior, please send me back!" The boy had figured everything out at this time and no longer had any wild thoughts. Fairy Xuanming naturally had no objection. She waved her hand again and took him away directly.

After a moment's silence, she suddenly said again:

"Its identity is somewhat sensitive. Even if we take it to the spirit world, we cannot release it, otherwise it will definitely be sensed by its true body. And with my current condition, plus Yuansha's soul fragment, I am definitely no match for it."

"This is the safest way to deal with it. Otherwise, once we let it go, it will tell the news about you and me, especially you, its true form, which will definitely attract covetousness." Mo Juren nodded.

"What you said makes sense." Fairy Xuanming agreed with this. After all, she was the soul of a true spirit, and she also had the soul of Saint Yuansha. Each of them had immeasurable value. Once the people in the spiritual world knew the situation, they would surely flock to snatch it.

The matter was settled, and the two stopped arguing about it and started talking about other things.

"How are your parents-in-law preparing? When do you plan to start?"

"It's almost done, but I have one more thing to do before that." Mo Juren nodded and looked in a certain direction with murderous intent in his eyes.

"Have you decided to take action?" Fairy Xuanming's eyes flashed, and she instantly guessed the other party's thoughts.

"It's not a good thing to keep going on like this. I can feel relieved if it's resolved sooner rather than later. Besides, that old demon Liudao and my mother-in-law have a life-and-death feud, so it's a good opportunity to settle it all at once." Mo Juren did not deny it.

"With your strength, this matter will be easy to handle, so I won't follow you. Once the chaos is over, you can focus all your energy on cultivation and strive to ascend to heaven as soon as possible..."

"Don't worry, senior. I will do it as soon as possible..."

……

In ancient times, the entire Chaos Star Sea was still ruled by the demon clan.

It was the ancestors of the Star Palace who came here and led the other human beings to overcome difficulties and hardships before they carved out a new world from the original demon clan’s territory.

For tens of thousands of years afterwards, generation after generation of ancestors of the Star Palace continued to fight against the demon race, which gradually expanded the territory of the human race until it reached its current level.

For the human race in the entire Chaos Star Sea, Xinggong has made huge contributions, so in everyone's eyes, they also tacitly accept the existence of the other party as the manager.

However, things in the world are never static, especially in the world of immortal cultivation, where interests always come first.

As the human race has completely established its foothold and its sphere of influence has gradually expanded, the ambitions of some people have slowly begun to grow.

The alliances of both the righteous and evil sects, as well as the scattered cultivators, were all formed and grown bit by bit over the past tens of thousands of years.

The emergence of the Anti-Star Alliance is not accidental, but an inevitable result. After all, as a semi-official organization, the Star Palace will naturally set many rules and regulations.

These rules are more or less in conflict with the interests of both the righteous and evil forces, as well as the independent cultivators, and even directly restrict the growth of other forces.

How could this not cause resistance from the other party?

In fact, some signs had already appeared in the distant past, but at that time the Star Palace was so powerful and had countless strong men that the various forces did not dare to express their ideas even if they had any.

Until the last few hundred years, when Ling Xiaofeng and Wen Qing, the new Holy Lords, had problems in their cultivation, they were trapped in Tianxing City and unable to leave. The Anti-Star Alliance also gradually began to surface and became uncontrollable.

Ever since the opening of the Xutian Palace in the past, the battle between the Anti-Star Alliance and the Star Palace broke out completely, and they have always held an advantageous position.

After all, the Anti-Star Alliance had two late Nascent Soul powerhouses, Liudao Jisheng and Wan Sangu, while the Twin Saints of Xinggong were unable to take action, resulting in an imbalance in top-level combat power, and suppression was inevitable.

Even if Tianxing City did not control the key passage leading to the open sea, and the two saints could still move around in the city, I'm afraid the Xinggong side would have been defeated long ago.

Even so, the sphere of influence of the Star Palace has been compressed to the extreme. The outer twenty-four star islands have already fallen, and only five of the inner twelve star islands are still under control.

  Compared with the territory occupied by the Anti-Star Alliance, this is more than double the size.

The reason why Xinggong can still hold on is mainly because it controls the channels to the outer sea and can obtain resources continuously. Otherwise, the huge Tianxing City and the large number of cultivators would have collapsed long ago.

Resources are the foundation for a force to stand firm. Without this, even if Tianxing City has two saints in charge, it will still be of no avail.

The Anti-Star Alliance obviously understands this, so in recent years it has been trying to find ways to open up other channels leading to the open sea, and has gradually discovered some teleportation arrays left over from ancient times.

Therefore, even in the outer seas, the influence of the Anti-Star Alliance has been growing over the years, and the sphere of influence of the Star Palace in the outer seas is being eroded step by step.

The most obvious point is that when the super spiritual mine on the Biling Island in the outer sea came into being, the Anti-Star Alliance was fully capable of competing with the Star Palace, and then sharing the profits of the spiritual mine with the demon clan.

The situation is becoming increasingly serious. In the eyes of most cultivators, perhaps there is no need to wait until the day when the two saints pass away and sit in meditation. The Star Palace will fall apart in advance.

The situation did not improve until a few years ago when a powerful late Nascent Soul expert suddenly appeared in the Star Palace. This also made the Anti-Star Alliance immediately become alert.

It is self-evidently difficult for a cultivator to break through to the late Nascent Soul stage. Aptitude is only one of the factors, and a certain amount of opportunity is also needed, otherwise it will not work at all.

If not for this, there wouldn't be only four late-stage great monks in the Inner Sea for so many years.

As experienced people, Liudao and Wan Sangu are well aware of this. Even according to the information held by the Anti-Star Alliance, there are almost no potential for the middle-stage Nascent Soul cultivators under the Star Palace to break through to the late stage.

Therefore, in its plan against the Star Palace, the Anti-Star Alliance adopted a strategy of steady and cautious progress and gradual erosion.

However, plans cannot keep up with changes, and there are always unexpected things. Who could have thought that a powerful late-stage Nascent Soul with unknown origins would suddenly appear? The Star Reverse Alliance naturally took this very seriously, and they all speculated that the Fairy Le Qing was most likely one of the forces secretly cultivated by the Star Palace.

This is even more troublesome. Who knows how many similar existences there are? With the first one, there is no telling when the second one will appear, and by then the plan to subvert Xinggong will be completely ruined.

It is for this reason that the Anti-Star Alliance quickly adjusted its original strategy and no longer focused on being cautious, but became aggressive, striving to inflict heavy damage to the Star Palace before the second late Nascent Soul stage powerhouse appeared.

Coincidentally, this opportunity came not long ago.

Ling Yuling, the only daughter of the two saints of the Star Palace, is getting married with great fanfare. One third of the strong men stationed on the five inner star islands have also been transferred away.

Faced with such a great opportunity, the Anti-Star Alliance will naturally not give up. Even if there may be a conspiracy, it will be useless in the face of absolute strength.

The Anti-Star Alliance mobilized a large number of forces and launched attacks on five spiritual islands at the same time. Of course, the other four were just feints, and Huangyue Island was the key.

Among the five inner star islands controlled by Xinggong, Huangyue Island is undoubtedly the most important and the hub. As long as it is taken, victory is basically secured.

By then, the five inner twelve star islands will be controlled one after another, and the power of the Star Palace will be completely sealed in Tianxing City.

Unfortunately, an accident occurred again during this operation. It was a plan that seemed to be a sure thing, but it ended in a complete failure.

So many forces were mobilized at one time, especially along the way from Huangyue Island. There were dozens of Yuanying stage masters, dozens of Jindan stage masters, and over a thousand foundation building stage masters.

The leader among them is Wan Tianming, the master of Wanfamen, who is known as the number one in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul in the Chaos Star Sea. Perhaps he is suspected of exaggerating a bit, but he has already cultivated to the peak of the middle stage, and with the help of Wanfamen's treasure, the Xuanhuang Mirror, there are really few cultivators of the same level who can be his rivals.

It is unbelievable that such a powerful force, especially when Huangyue Island was weak and even the Fairy Liaoqing did not participate, not only did they fail to win, but they were completely wiped out.

Not to mention other things, those dozen or so Nascent Soul stage powerhouses alone are not easy to deal with. Unless they are truly on the verge of despair, it is easy to be defeated but extremely difficult to kill them completely.

What kind of desperate situation could be able to destroy more than a dozen Nascent Soul stage powerhouses, without even a single Nascent Soul escaping? It's really too unbelievable.

After the news spread, all the forces in the Inland Sea were shocked beyond words.

Was this done by Xinggong? That doesn't make sense. If they really had such strength, why did they suffer defeat after defeat for so many years? And why was their sphere of influence compressed to the extreme?

Even if they were hiding their strength and biding their time, they wouldn't wait until now to suddenly launch a counterattack, right?

And it wasn't just Huangyue Island. The other four routes also failed. However, these four routes were relatively normal. Although they did not break through the island, at least they did not suffer too much loss.

After Huangyue Island was defeated, the entire Anti-Star Alliance fell into silence and dared not take any action.

Liudao and Wan Sangu, the leaders of the Anti-Star Alliance, also arrived at the Anti-Star Alliance headquarters one month later to discuss the current changes.

……

Beixuan Island is located in the northern waters of the Inland Sea.

Although this island is vast in area, it has little value because of the thin spiritual energy and few resources. It is not even one of the inner twelve star islands or the outer twenty-four star islands.

For many years, this island has only been inhabited by a few scattered low-level cultivators, and slightly larger families or even sects would not pay too much attention to it.

Until many years ago, by chance, a cultivator discovered an ancient teleportation array left over from ancient times on the island. Although it had long been dilapidated, it was a genuine two-way ancient teleportation array that could directly connect to the open sea.

At that time, the war between the Anti-Star Alliance and the Star Palace had reached a stalemate, and they urgently needed a passage to the open sea in order to break the monopoly of the Star Palace.

Therefore, a large number of formation masters were mobilized to study and repair it, until they finally succeeded decades ago.

As a result, the importance of Beixuan Island increased dramatically, and it became the hub for the Anti-Star Alliance to connect with the open sea. After a drastic transformation of it, the Anti-Star Alliance even moved its headquarters here.

Today's Beixuan Island is no longer what it used to be. As the headquarters of the Anti-Star Alliance, it is home to a large number of cultivators, many of whom are high-level, and there are quite a few at the Nascent Soul stage.

This is only the normal time. Once there is any important action, there will be more Yuanying stage masters on the island.

Because it can connect to the open sea and has high commercial potential, a large city was built directly in the central area of ​​the island around the ancient teleportation array. There are countless shops from both the righteous and evil paths in it, and a large number of cultivators trade in it every day.

At this time in Beixuan City, on a main street, a white-haired old Taoist wearing a green Taoist robe and holding a silver whisk in his hand was strolling leisurely on the street.

The old Taoist looked quite old, with an ordinary appearance, and his cultivation barely reached the late stage of foundation building. In a place like Beixuan City where many powerful people gathered, he really had no sense of presence.

The old Taoist didn't care and continued to stroll around.

Not long after, when he arrived at the door of an unprecedented large restaurant, he suddenly stopped.

"Feng Yu Tower!" Looking at the huge plaque at the door and the large number of guests coming in and out in an endless stream, the old Taoist's eyes suddenly flashed, and then he walked in without hesitation.

The business at Fengyu Tower was extremely good. This huge building had 17 floors, and you could hear the hustle and bustle of people coming from almost every floor.

Not to mention the lobby on the first floor, it was almost full.

After the old Taoist came in, he couldn't find his seat for a while. Fortunately, the waiter of the restaurant came forward at this time and noticed his cultivation level, so he didn't dare to neglect him.

"Welcome, distinguished guest. Are you here for a quick meal or to stay overnight?" The waiter did not look down on him and greeted him warmly. Seeing this, the old Taoist nodded slightly and said,

"I plan to stay here for a while. Do you have any rooms available?"

"You need to stay on the third floor or above to stay in the hotel. There are rooms available, but it is a special period now, so the number is naturally smaller, and the price is 30% higher than usual. I hope you can understand..."

  "Special period?" The old Taoist's heart moved, and he vaguely guessed something, and then answered,

"No problem, lead the way."

"Okay, please follow me..." The waiter was naturally happy, and immediately led the way, taking the old Taoist straight up the stairs. In the process, he naturally attracted some people's attention, but when they found out that he was just a cultivator in the Foundation Establishment Stage, they naturally didn't bother to pay attention.
