Mortals: Take Mo Juren at the start

At this moment, Luo Tu suddenly felt fortunate. If his inference was correct, then this decisive battle of the Anti-Star Alliance would most likely end in failure, or even a crushing defeat.

In this case, wasn't my voluntary surrender just now the most correct choice?

When he thought of this, he not only did not feel any humiliation, but instead felt an uncontrollable joy.

As the saying goes, a good bird chooses a tree to roost in, and a good talent chooses a master to serve. He has no psychological burden about submitting to a strong man.

As for face, he didn't care about it at all. Besides, he and Liudao had a good relationship and they were indeed friends for many years, but he was far from giving up his own safety for the other party.

In the final analysis, there are only two fundamental rules in the world of cultivation: one is strength, and the other is interest. It is impossible that there is no such thing as a life-and-death friendship in such a vast world, but it may not be even possible to find one in ten thousand.

What is the personality of Liudao?

Lustful, domineering, selfish, cold-blooded...

Making friends with such a being cannot be purely out of emotion, but more out of considerations of interests.

He needs the support of Liudao, and as a casual cultivator, he has done a lot for the other party over the years. Maybe in their eyes, he is just a very useful tool.

At this time Mo Juren finally reacted. He had actually forgotten about this. After his previous wedding, he had become a household name in Chaos Star Sea!

It was normal to think about it. How could such an important person as the son-in-law of the Twin Saints of Xinggong not attract attention? And it was the focus of attention.

"Are you sure you want to follow me?" Mo Juren asked again after collecting his thoughts.

"I have sworn an oath and I am submitting sincerely. If you still don't believe me, I am willing to divide my soul and hand it over to you, my lord."

Luo Tu had already figured everything out, and was extremely proactive at the moment. He took the initiative to propose such constraints without waiting for the other party to mention it. Then, his Nascent Soul's little hand gently wiped his forehead, and immediately a thumb-sized green ball of light was pulled out.

"Please accept it, my lord."

"Are you sure you don't regret it?"

"My Lord, there is no need to test me. I surrender to you sincerely and have no regrets!"

"Very good." Mo Juren nodded with satisfaction. At this moment, he admired the other party a little. He was able to recognize the situation and act decisively. He was indeed a rare talent.

He did not pretend to be noble and reject the other party's proposal. There was a flash of light in his hand, and a token appeared, and then the green light ball was taken into it.

As the patterns on the token's surface lit up, Luo Tu's body shook instantly and his expression became more submissive.

Seeing this, Mo Juren no longer wanted to trap the other party, and directly retracted the golden electric net, followed by the Qianlan Ice Flame and all the flying swords in the air.

Luo Tu was naturally overjoyed that he had finally saved his life, and hurried back to his body. However, he suddenly discovered that after being frozen by the blue ice flame for such a short time, his body had suffered considerable damage.

He became more and more afraid of his master, but he did not dare to ask more questions. Instead, he immediately took back the soul-catching banner in the air. As he shook it at a high speed, all the red demon souls were collected into the banner.

"Release one of the red demon souls." Mo Juren suddenly thought of something and gave the order.

"Uh... okay!" Luo Tu was a little confused, but did not dare to hesitate. He immediately released a red demon soul at the Jindan level. The next moment, the demon soul had been caught in the palm of the opponent.

"No way?" Mo Juren frowned and asked again.

"Release one at the Nascent Soul level as well."

"I obey your command!" Luo Tu hurriedly waved the Soul-Capture Banner again, and with the surge of demonic energy, a Nascent Soul level red demon soul appeared again.

Compared to the one at the Jindan stage, this one is obviously much stronger. It's a pity that both the former and the latter have dull eyes and are obviously not very intelligent.

I brought it closer again, and after some sensing, there was still no movement from the auxiliary device.

Mo Juren couldn't help but sigh. He had thought that these demon souls could be refined into Xuanyin Liquid, but now it seemed that it wasn't working. He didn't know what was not meeting the requirements?

Is it because it has been specially refined, or because it has been corroded by demonic energy for a long time?

No matter which one it is, its value has been greatly reduced. Of course, it can also be used to refine his Swallowing Yuan Gourd, but it is undoubtedly a drop in the bucket and is dispensable.

After returning the two red devil souls to the other party, Mo Juren asked:

"I heard that you have a good personal relationship with Liu Dao?"

  "I guess so." Luo Tu nodded slightly and then took the initiative to explain.

"When Liu Dao was still in the Jindan stage, he was severely injured during an exploration of an ancient site. Later, he was besieged by a large number of cultivators of the same level because of a valuable treasure. It was my subordinate who saved his life in time. Therefore, we have been close friends for hundreds of years.

Unfortunately, no matter how great a favor is, it will gradually fade with the passage of time. Especially since Liudao is a domineering, extreme, selfish and cold-blooded person, he naturally will not keep this matter in mind forever.

The reason why the two of us have been able to maintain a seemingly good relationship is, on the one hand, that my subordinates know how to advance and retreat, and on the other hand, it is due to interests.

I am 100% sure that if I do anything that harms the other party's interests, they will definitely not show mercy or show leniency."

"What if I ask you to take action against Liudao?" Mo Juren's eyes flashed and he asked again.

"Since I have already surrendered to my lord, I will have no second thoughts. As long as it is your order, I will do my best." Luo Tu expressed his attitude immediately without any hesitation.

"Don't you ask me what I want you to do? What if your life is in danger?"

  "If the Lord had not held back, I would have been dead by now. This life belongs to you, so what does it matter whether I live or die?" Luo Tu shook his head slightly, but then changed the subject.

"Of course, I absolutely believe that with the master's wisdom, he will most likely not watch me die."

"You are quite confident." Mo Juren chuckled, but in his heart he had become more and more 'admiring' of the person in front of him. Not to mention anything else, just this awareness and eloquence far surpassed too many cultivators.

No wonder he was able to maintain a hundred-year friendship with a selfish and cold-blooded person like Liu Dao without falling out. There was indeed a reason. "Are you familiar with Wan Sangu?"

"Aunt Wan San?" Luo Tu was stunned for a moment. Although he was a little confused as to why the other party asked this, he did not dare to hesitate.

“Because I was born as a casual cultivator and I like to socialize, I have many friends in both the righteous and evil ways, and the Wanfa Sect is no exception.

As for Wan Sangu, she is aloof and aloof, and few people can talk to her. However, because of the relationship between the six paths, I have had some exchanges with her, but that's all, and I can't say I'm familiar with her."

  "We have communicated before? That's enough." Mo Juren nodded and continued,

"More and more strong men have come to Beixuan Island recently, but have they decided to fight a decisive battle with Xinggong?"

  "My Lord, what you said is correct. This matter has indeed been decided. During this period, the entire Anti-Star Alliance has been actively preparing for war. If nothing unexpected happens, we will set out immediately in about a month when all forces are ready." Luo Tu nodded solemnly and continued,

"Does the Lord have any instructions?"

  "Orders?" Mo Juren thought for a moment and then said,

"It's not necessary for now. You can just go back to Beixuan Island and hide. I will notify you when the time is right. By the way, you suddenly left Beixuan Island before. What happened?"

"There is indeed a special mission. This time I am following Liudao's orders to go to the Demon Island to invite the 'Lan Family Twin Demons'..." Luo Tu did not hide anything and immediately recounted the situation truthfully.

"Demon Island, the two demons of the Lan family?" Mo Juren narrowed his eyes slightly. These two demons were not ordinary people. No matter in age or fame, they were ahead of the two saints of Xinggong.

The man was bloodthirsty by nature, and once slaughtered nearly a thousand cultivators and more than a hundred thousand mortals on two islands overnight; the woman, on the other hand, practiced the famous magic skill 'Yin Nu Sha Yang Jue', and liked to capture young male cultivators from various sects alive to absorb their vital yang to practice, and then tortured them to death.

Such vile behavior naturally aroused the anger of countless people. Unfortunately, these two people both had the cultivation level of the middle Nascent Soul stage and were inseparable. When they joined forces, they were able to protect themselves even when facing a strong man in the late Nascent Soul stage.

Therefore, although countless people wanted to tear him into pieces, they were not strong enough and could only swallow their anger.

It was not until many years ago that the Twin Saints of the Star Palace took action and hunted the two demons to death.

At that time, the two saints were still at the peak of the middle stage of the Nascent Soul. It was after this battle that they seized an opportunity and then both advanced to the late stage of the Nascent Soul.

Unfortunately, the two saints still underestimated the cunning of the two demons. They did not really die, but used some unknown method to deceive the former and then escaped.

Suddenly, Mo Juren had an idea. He didn't know the reason, but as Luo Tu was Liudao's good friend, he should know something, right?

Thinking of this, he immediately asked the doubts in his heart.

  "If you ask others about this, they really won't know, but I happen to know the reason." Luo Tu did not hide it and immediately explained in detail.

“Back then, the Lan family’s twin demons were hunted down by the two Saint Lords of the Star Palace for several years, causing a sensation throughout the Inner Sea. The former two were clearly no match for them and were almost forced into a desperate situation.

When they were at their wit's end, the two suddenly sent a message for help to Liudao. The Lord should be aware of the grudge between the latter and the two Holy Lords. Faced with such a situation, he would naturally intervene.

With the help of Liudao, the two demons of the Lan family completed a plan of escaping from the shell. They deceived the two saints by faking their deaths, but their real bodies escaped.

Of course, the two demons were already at the end of their rope at that time, and it was Liudao who helped them recover from their injuries, and then they hid in the Demon Island. "

  "Liu Dao has taken action, no wonder..." Mo Juren suddenly realized and continued,

"I guess the reason why he took action was, firstly, to go against the Twin Saints, and secondly, to train two powerful chess pieces, right?"

"That's true." Luo Tu said with emotion.

"The Lan family's twin demons were very powerful and had made countless enemies. No one was willing to take them in, so after they recovered from their injuries, they joined Liudao's army. After that, they changed their appearances and secretly did countless shady things for him."

  "Their lifespan should not be long, right?" Mo Juren thought of another thing. In the original fate line, the two Lan demons had their lifespans extended by two or three hundred years. Who knows what method they used?

"That's true. According to Liu Dao, the Lan family's twin demons seem to have found a way to refine the legendary 'Blood Coagulation and Essence Enhancement Pill'. If they can refine it successfully, it will be no problem for taking it to increase one's lifespan by more than a hundred years."

"Blood Coagulation and Essence Enhancement Pill!" Mo Juren was slightly surprised. He didn't expect it to be this kind of legendary ancient elixir. These two demons are really lucky. It should be that they have succeeded in refining it.

However, this pill can only increase lifespan by a hundred years. In addition to the "Blood Coagulation and Essence Enhancement Pill", these two demons should have found other ways to prolong their lifespan in the future, which is why they can extend their lives by two to three hundred years.

  "Since it is a mission arranged by Liudao, then you should go ahead, so as not to arouse suspicion." Mo Juren put away his thoughts and said immediately. At the same time, a communication token appeared in his hand and he handed it to the other party.

"Take this too. Contact me anytime if you need anything."

"I obey your command!" Luo Tu put away the token and without any further delay, he immediately flew towards the Demonic Island.

As for Mo Juren, he did not return to Tianxing City, but went to Beixuan Island again.

The war is approaching, and it is most appropriate for him to stay inside the enemy so that he can keep track of the movements of the Anti-Star Alliance at any time. As for how the Star Palace will respond, there are the Two Saints and many elders to discuss it together, so he does not need to worry about it.

……

Time flies so fast and a month flies by.

In this decisive battle, the Anti-Star Alliance really intended to fight for real, and almost drained away most of the forces of various factions.

Not all of these people have gathered here. Most of them will go directly to Huangyue Island to meet up after the army sets out.

However, even so, a large number of cultivators still rushed to Beixuan Island, causing the huge city to be unable to accommodate them all, and those cultivators at the Foundation Establishment stage were placed outside the city.

Among these gathered monks, there were also quite a few newcomers, most of whom were independent cultivators.

For these people, the Anti-Star Alliance usually sends people to conduct a conscience check, and after confirming that they are not spies sent by the Star Palace, they will accept them all.

Among them happened to be Mo Juren. He joined the Anti-Star Alliance as a casual cultivator, so naturally he passed the test of conscience very smoothly.

Because of his identity as a talisman master, he was not assigned to the cannon fodder team, but was only responsible for refining talismans in the logistics department.

This was his specialty, and it was not too easy to do. However, just in case, he did not refine talismans in his own style, but chose to do the same as other talisman masters.

After all, they were just some consumable primary talismans. With his current attainments in talismans, they could be easily obtained.

Just like that, a month passed by, and the Anti-Star Alliance had arranged all the necessary preparations for the war, and it was finally time to set off. (End of this chapter)
