Mortals: Take Mo Juren at the start

Chapter 913 Change of plan

In the next two days, more and more Nascent Soul stage warriors rushed to Beixuan Island, and some news inevitably spread, indicating that something big was really going to happen.

Some people are naturally eager to try, rubbing their hands, looking forward to a big fight, but more low-level monks are frowning and trembling with fear.

In large-scale battles, the lower-level monks are completely cannon fodder. No matter how smart you are in your daily life, once you are on the battlefield, you will have no control over your life and death and fate.

In the past few days, business in shops across the city has become extremely hot. Magical instruments, magic treasures, elixirs, talismans, etc. are in short supply, and everyone is emptying their savings to buy them in large quantities.

The more preparation you make at this time, the more chances you have of saving your life, and no one will be stingy.

Compared to the chaos of the monks on the island, Mo Juren was very leisurely. He either stayed in the room or went out for a stroll, and he did not seem to be in a hurry at all.

This time when he came to Beixuan Island, his original intention was to kill Wan Sangu directly, and then capture Liudao and bring him back to Tianxing City.

However, when he learned that the Anti-Star Alliance might make a big move and seemed to be planning a decisive battle with Xinggong, he immediately changed his plan.

Isn't this a perfect opportunity? Not to mention wiping out the Anti-Star Alliance, at least they should be severely damaged so that they dare not rebel again for a long time.

He immediately passed the message back, thinking that there would be some action in Xinggong, but he himself did not intend to leave, but to continue to lurk.

That night, the entire island was shrouded in darkness.

There are still pedestrians on the street. Instead of becoming deserted because of the night, it becomes even more lively. Shops everywhere are brightly lit and customers are coming in an endless stream.

At this time, Mo Juren had already left Fengyu Tower and was strolling along the street, getting closer to the central area.

Through these two days of observation, he has already figured out the general situation.

For example, the protective formation in the central area is an extremely mysterious and comprehensive formation. Its protection range covers the ground and underground without any loopholes.

Moreover, each key position of this formation is guarded by dedicated personnel throughout the twelve hours of the day, and any slight abnormality will be detected.

Of course, one can use the pass token specially issued by the Anti-Star Alliance to enter and exit the formation. However, the number of such tokens is extremely scarce. Even those in the Nascent Soul stage do not have one, let alone those in the Core Formation stage.

At least during the two days that Mo Juren observed, although there were cultivators from the Anti-Star Alliance coming in and out from time to time, the passages were almost always opened by the people guarding the formation inside, and not a single one used a token.

Fortunately, he was no longer in a hurry to act at this time, so there was no need to go in again. On the contrary, catching a suitable eye would have a greater effect.

Not long after, Mo Juren came to a teahouse again as usual.

This place is very close to the Anti-Star Alliance headquarters in the central area, and most areas of the formation can be seen at a glance, making it the best place for observation.

After finding a seat by the window, Mo Juren ordered a pot of spiritual tea very familiarly, and then sipped the tea while waiting patiently.

But at this moment, he suddenly realized something and looked up at the dark night sky.

I saw a giant flying boat coming rapidly and finally hovering in front of the formation. Then more than ten figures walked out of the cabin and came onto the deck.

These people were all powerful warriors in the early and middle stages of the Nascent Soul. The old man in the lead with a sword on his back had even reached the peak of the middle stage of the Nascent Soul. Although he remained calm, a sharp sword intent permeated his entire body.

The arrival of the flying boat naturally attracted the attention of countless people, and the area within the formation was no exception. Soon a passage was opened, and a team of Jindan stage cultivators flew out one after another.

"Greetings, Uncle Master Chen! Greetings, seniors..." Flying closer, the leading Jindan stage cultivator hurriedly saluted respectfully to everyone on the deck.

However, the old man with the sword on his back just nodded slightly, with no intention of communicating at all. Then he turned into a white rainbow and disappeared into the passage.

The other Nascent Soul cultivators were no exception. After putting away their flying boats, they also entered the formation one after another.

Despite such an attitude, the several Jindan stage cultivators in charge of the reception did not dare to show the slightest dissatisfaction. They waited with extreme respect for everyone to enter the formation, and then hurriedly followed.

"Who was that old man with a sword on his back? He looked familiar."

"If my guess is correct, that person should be the 'Wind and Cloud Sword Saint', the previous leader of the Wanfa Sect..."

"Sword Saint Fengyun, wasn't he seriously injured by Elder Shangguan of Xinggong hundreds of years ago, and then died? The position of the sect leader was also taken away by Wan Tianming..."

"That's unclear. Maybe the other party didn't die at the time, but took the initiative to abdicate and then practiced hard..."

"Hundreds of years have passed and he is still stuck in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul. Although he has reached his peak, it is conceivable that the injuries he suffered were not simple."

"In recent days, Yuanying-stage experts have been gathering at Beixuan Island, including the two leaders. It seems that they are really going to make a big move. Are they planning to have a decisive battle with Xinggong..."

"I'm not sure about that, but in the last battle on Huangyue Island, our Anti-Star Alliance suffered heavy losses, so the higher-ups will naturally not let this go..."

"Another war is about to begin. The high-level monks are naturally fine, but we, the low-level monks..."

"..."

Listening to the discussions of the people around him, Mo Juren ignored them and continued to drink tea and wait patiently.

Time passed slowly, and in the blink of an eye it was already late at night. There were fewer customers in the teahouse at this time, but the streets were still bustling with pedestrians coming and going in an endless stream.

But at this moment, a passage in the distant formation opened again, and then a middle-aged man in a red robe and with a face full of murderous aura strode out.

The moment he saw this person, Mo Juren's eyes lit up. After two days of waiting, a suitable target finally appeared. If he wanted to catch someone's eye, this person was more than enough.

Of course, the old man with a sword on his back is also suitable, but he has just arrived and will probably not be able to leave in a short time, so there is naturally no need to wait any longer.

As for the man in red robe, Mo Juren naturally knew him. He was not from any sect but a casual cultivator. His surname was Luo and his real name was unknown, but he had a famous nickname, which was called 'Red Blood Demon Lord'.

The other party practiced a famous ancient magic skill "Red Blood Demonic Canon", which possessed incredible power. Coupled with a "Red Blood Soul-Captivating Banner" specially refined by him, this person's strength was enough to rank among the top three among the cultivators of the same level, and he had a great reputation in the Inner Sea.

According to rumors, the Scarlet Blood Soul-Capturing Banner contains thousands of souls, not ordinary people, but accomplished cultivators, as well as the souls of demons, and even those at the Nascent Soul level. These souls are nourished by the Scarlet Blood Demonic Qi and refined by special secret methods, becoming a unique existence called the Scarlet Demonic Soul, which possesses extremely terrifying combat power.

Therefore, when the opponent is fighting, it is equivalent to having an army of demon souls, and ordinary cultivators are no match for them at all.

The reason why Mo Juren chose this other party was, firstly, because of his powerful strength, and secondly, because of this person's special identity. Although he was just a casual cultivator, he had a very deep friendship with the Six Paths Demon.

This is more appropriate. As long as the other party is controlled, all the secrets of the top leaders of the Anti-Star Alliance will be known.

While he was thinking, the man in red robe had already walked out of the formation, and then turned into a red rainbow and flew away into the air.

Mo Juren also walked out of the teahouse, found a secluded location, and flew into the air, disappearing into the dim night in the blink of an eye.

With his means and deliberate concealment, even Liudao and Wan Sangu could hardly detect it. Therefore, he flew away from Beixuan City so openly without attracting anyone's attention.

……

In the dark night, the man in red robe was flying at high speed in the air, not noticing that someone was following him.

It was not until nearly an hour had passed, when he was already thousands of miles away from Beixuan Island, that his expression suddenly changed and his escape stopped.

"What's going on?" The red-robed man felt a chill in his heart. Just a moment ago, he instinctively felt a palpitation, as if there was some life-and-death crisis.

He immediately released his spiritual sense to investigate carefully, but there was nothing unusual within a radius of a hundred miles, even under the sea.

"Could it be that I sensed it wrongly?" The red-robed man frowned, but shook his head again. The palpitating feeling just now was too real, it couldn't be wrong.

There are only two possibilities. Either there is an enemy hiding in secret, but the opponent's strength and means are too powerful for him to sense; or there are other dangerous situations nearby, such as some secret realms, and if he is not careful, he may fall into them.

If it is the latter, it is not a bad thing, but an opportunity. But if it is the former, it will be a bit troublesome. It is not easy to deal with an enemy who is stronger and more capable than him.

"Since you are here, fellow Daoist, why do you have to hide your head and show your tail? Won't you be laughed at?" The red-robed man shouted coldly. Of course, he was not sure and was just bluffing.

The effect was quite good. As soon as the words fell, a crisp clapping sounded, followed by a strange male voice:

"You actually have such a strong ability to sense danger, not bad."

"Who are you? Please show yourself!" Although he had tricked the other party out, the clapping and talking seemed to come from all directions and could not be locked at all.

This made him even more certain that the newcomer's strength was unfathomable and far superior to his own, so as he opened his mouth, bursts of blood light flashed from his wide sleeves.

"Who am I? Haha..." The voice sounded again, but with a hint of sarcasm. Before the man in red robe could react, sword lights suddenly filled the void in all directions and pressed down directly.

“Not good…” The red-robed man didn’t expect the other party to attack so quickly, and he didn’t have time to think about it. He turned into a red rainbow and soared into the sky. At the same time, a huge blood-red banner appeared in his hand. As it swayed, bursts of demonic energy surged, and dense blood-colored shadows instantly filled the entire sky.

Faced with such an unknown enemy, who was obviously stronger than him, the man in red robes naturally did not dare to be careless at all, and he used his strongest trump card as soon as he made a move.

  He still didn't believe it. Facing him and these thousands of "Red Demon Souls", what could the other party really do to him?

However, the final result was far beyond his expectations. There were more and more sword lights around him, and their number was no less than that of the Red Demon Soul. Their power was even more terrifying. They contained extreme coldness, which caused great damage to the invisible soul body like the Red Demon Soul.

The red-robed man had an unsightly look on his face. When he was about to wave the giant banner again and use other means of attack, something strange happened suddenly. An ice-blue light shot out like lightning and hit his vest directly.

"Damn it!" The red-robed man was filled with shock and anger. He could feel a terrible chill spreading rapidly behind him, and his whole body became stiff. Even though he tried his best to resist it, it was completely useless.

In an instant, half of his body had completely lost consciousness. In his panic, he didn't care about anything else, and his Nascent Soul escaped directly from the Baihui acupoint.

  I'm doomed today, but I was forced into this situation in the blink of an eye, and I don't even know what the enemy looks like. This shows how terrifying his strength is.

Fortunately, he had never possessed another body before. As long as the Nascent Soul could escape, everything could start over again. And with the Nascent Soul's ability to teleport, it was easy to escape.

Unfortunately, he had no idea about the unknown enemy. As soon as his Nascent Soul escaped, a golden light net appeared and trapped him directly.

This sudden change shocked the Nascent Soul's little face, and he instinctively had a bad premonition in his heart. Sure enough, when he immediately used his teleportation ability to escape the blockade of the golden light net, he was horrified to find that he couldn't do it at all.

It was as if it had met its nemesis. No matter how hard the Nascent Soul moved, it was struck back by the golden lightning released from the light net. And every time, the Nascent Soul could feel excruciating pain in its body.

"Senior, please spare my life. I am willing to surrender..." At this moment, the man in red robes had completely understood that the strength of the person who came was far beyond his imagination and he was simply unable to compare with him.

At this moment, he could no longer care about anything else and just had to save his life.

  As expected, as soon as he said this, the golden light net that was shrinking at a very fast speed suddenly stopped. At this moment, he finally breathed a sigh of relief, but still did not dare to hesitate, and once again bowed to the void,

"The junior Luo Tu pays respect to the senior. I am willing to swear with my heart of Taoism that I will always be loyal to the senior in this life. If I have any second thoughts, I will be burned by the thunder..."

Luo Tu was decisive in his actions. The moment he decided to surrender, he did so completely and swore a solemn oath immediately. This made Mo Juren, who was hiding in the dark, look at him with admiration.

You have to know that the other party is a powerful man in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul. He is a respected and powerful existence in any force. However, he is so flexible and does not care about his face at all. It is really not simple.

Fortunately, Luo Tu didn't know Mo Juren's evaluation of him, otherwise he would definitely complain in his heart. He was about to die and still cared about his face. Unless he had a problem with his brain.

  A flash of white light passed by, and Mo Juren finally emerged. The moment he saw him, Luo Tu's Yuanying's little face was startled at first, and then he immediately said in surprise:

“You…you are Mo Juren!”

"You recognize me?" Mo Juren was slightly surprised.

"How could I not recognize him?" The shock on Luo Tu's face became more and more intense.

"You... the master had previously married Ling Yuling, the young mistress of the Xing Palace. Your appearance had already been drawn into an image and spread throughout the Xinghai. Naturally, I have also seen it."

In addition to shock, he also felt an extreme fear.

  The husband of the young master of Xinggong actually has the realm of the late Nascent Soul stage, which is very different from the early Nascent Soul stage described in the intelligence sent back. It is really incredible!

You must know that in addition to the original two saints, the Star Palace already had a fairy named Leqing in the late Nascent Soul stage. Now there is one more, which means there are a total of four great monks!

Even if the two saints could not go out, with the other two, they were no less powerful than the Anti-Star Alliance! This also meant that even if a decisive battle took place immediately, neither side would be at a disadvantage.

  What is Xinggong trying to do? Is there a bigger purpose behind deliberately hiding this?

He couldn't help but think of the previous battle of Huangyue Island. You know, the master in front of him and the Fairy Liaoqing did not participate, but the result was still that so many powerful people on his side were wiped out!

This……

He suddenly had an illusion that Xinggong might be playing a big game of chess. The more he thought about it, the more terrifying it became. His mind couldn't help but tremble. He didn't dare to imagine it anymore.
