Mortals: Take Mo Juren at the start

Wan Chongyang is only a cultivator in the early Nascent Soul stage. Naturally, most of the friends he can make are of the same level as him. There are very few who can reach the middle Nascent Soul stage.

Lu Xuan is at the peak of the middle Nascent Soul stage. If one wants to compete with him, he needs at least the same level of cultivation.

Fortunately, with the help of the former power of the Wan family, Wan Chongyang does not lack friends, and one of them is on the same level as Lu Xuan.

The only thing that worried him was that although this person had a good relationship with him, he was far from being willing to trust his life to him. Moreover, with the current changes in the Wan family, it was still unknown whether the other party would change his mindset.

So to be on the safe side, he promised the other party considerable benefits when he invited him.

With the Wan family's background, it is not difficult to do all this. However, things are unpredictable, and he is not very sure in his heart. Whether he can succeed in the end depends on fate.

In the hall, seeing Wan Chongyang leaving with a look of joy on his face, the others immediately looked puzzled.

Lu Xuan and Wan Chongshan looked at each other. They could naturally feel the powerful aura just now, and from Wan Chongyang's reaction, they could also be sure that this was definitely the helper invited by the other party.

Something that was originally a sure thing turned out to be unexpectedly unexpected again, which immediately made Lu Xuan look a little ugly.

  He suddenly turned his head to look at Wan Simeng who was not far ahead. A strange look suddenly flashed in his deep eyes. He subconsciously thought about whether he should take action to capture her immediately. If he just left at that time, what could the Wan family do to him?

But after thinking again, he gave up the idea. Wan Chongshan invited him to come and do business, essentially to provide shelter for the family.

If he ignored the consequences and forcibly abducted Wan Simeng, the situation would change and even all the members of the Wan family, including Wan Chongshan, would turn against him.

Naturally, he would not easily do such a thing that would not make up for the loss.

But at the same time, he came to the Wan family this time with the determination to obtain Wan Simeng's spiritual body. If something unexpected really happened in the end, he would have to choose extreme measures.

When the time comes, he won't care if they fall out.

In the center of the hall, Wan Simeng was in a different mood at the moment.

She had never imagined that only a few months had passed since the ancestor's accident, and the family was already eager to sell her out, and except for Grandpa Nine, almost no one else had any objection.

  Seeing this scene, she instantly felt extremely chilled. You know, she had rushed here excitedly just now, wasn't she trying to inform everyone of the Lord's existence?

In that case, not only would his own problems be solved, but as long as the elders were willing to pay a sufficient price, the family's troubles this time might also have a chance to be properly handled.

However, he never expected that before he could even express his thoughts, a bucket of cold water would be poured on his head, and he felt cold from the outside to the inside.

If it weren't for Grandpa Jiu who was arguing for her, she would have wanted to just walk away and no longer care about the lives of these selfish, cold-blooded people.

This is her confidence. With the arrangement of her ancestors, she is no longer an orphan with no one to rely on. All these people combined cannot be a match for the master.

Wan Simeng looked calm, without showing any fear at all, which naturally attracted Lu Xuan's attention. However, he did not think much about it. He just thought that it was because of Wan Chongyang that gave the other party inexplicable confidence.

But is it really that simple?

  He couldn't help but sneer inwardly, and he was quite expectant in his heart. What kind of existence did Wan Chongyang bring?

They didn't have to wait too long. In just a moment, Wan Chongyang had returned to the hall, followed by a red-haired old man wearing a dark red loose brocade robe with countless strange spiritual patterns embroidered on the surface. As he walked step by step, blood flowed between the spiritual patterns, which was extremely strange.

"Xue Yangzi, it's you!" The moment he saw the red-haired old man, Lu Xuan was immediately surprised, and then his face turned dark. It was not that he was afraid of the other party, but he thought of a certain possibility, and his heart suddenly trembled.

  This old monster's cultivation is the same as his, and his lifespan is not much younger than his, at most a hundred years. If he also knew about Wan Simeng's situation, would he directly want to seize her?

In that case, there will inevitably be a conflict between myself and the other party, and there are too many variables.

"I was wondering who it was. It turns out to be Alliance Leader Lu. I haven't seen you for decades, but you seem to have gone backwards. You actually came to the Wan family to take advantage of their misfortune. This is really a disgrace to the Loose Cultivator Alliance. If someone doesn't know you, they would think you were from the devil's way." Xue Yangzi laughed loudly, but his words were full of undisguised sarcasm.

  "Whether Mr. Lu took advantage of the situation is another matter. But you, old monster Xueyang, although you are not from the devil sect, your actions over the years are even more excessive than those of the devil sect cultivators. How can you have the nerve to ridicule me?" Lu Xuan was not afraid at all and retorted directly, then looked at Wan Chongyang with a sneer on his face.

"Fellow Daoist, you really opened my eyes. You invited the old monster Xueyang to help you. Aren't you afraid of being bitten by a tiger? Don't you know the reputation of this old monster?"

"My reputation is bad only because I have killed more people. I am not like some people who say one thing and do another behind others' backs. They try to please others when they are strong, but take advantage of them when they are weak. How hypocritical they are!"

  "You..." Lu Xuan's expression instantly turned ugly, obviously because he was touched in a sore spot.

"Old Monster Xueyang, do you want to die?"

Although Xue Yangzi is quite powerful, he has a weird personality and always keeps to himself, and has almost no friends.

Compared to the other side, Lu Xuan is after all the leader of an alliance. In addition to his own powerful strength, he also has a powerful force under his command.

If a fight really broke out, he would not be worried at all.

"I am only telling the truth. What's the matter? Are you, Alliance Leader Lu, angry and humiliated? If you want to take action, go ahead. Do you think I'm afraid of you?" Xue Yangzi showed no fear and continued to provoke him.

Such behavior made Lu Xuan feel suspicious. He was suspicious and couldn't help but wonder, this old monster knew he was no match for him, but he was still so unscrupulous. Could it be that he had something to rely on? Or did the Wan family pay an irresistible price to make the other party ignore his threat?

"Old Monster Xueyang, do you really want to interfere in Lu's affairs?" Suppressing the murderous intent in his heart, Lu Xuan asked again in a cold voice.

“Alliance Master Lu is wrong. I am only here today as a guest of the Wan family at the invitation of Brother Chongyang, and I have no intention of interfering in other people’s private affairs.

Of course, as a long-time friend of Chongyang, I will not sit idly by and watch him being intimidated and oppressed by others. If such a situation really happens, I will not stand idly by." Xueyangzi sneered, looking like he was completely prepared for the situation.

Such an attitude naturally made Lu Xuan even more angry. All his excuses about not being able to bear to see his friend being threatened and oppressed were just excuses. In the final analysis, he still had to intervene.

  This is a bit troublesome!

Although he was 100% sure that he could defeat the opponent, the prerequisite was that the forces under his command would act together. If he was alone, it would obviously not work.

As for Wan Chongshan and other senior members of the Wan family, their mentality inevitably changed when they saw Xue Yangzi.

  After all, although Xue Yangzi is a loner, he is still a strong man, right?

If we can win over this person, that would not be a bad idea. At least we don't have to betray our own people, and it would be easier for everyone to accept psychologically.

In short, with this old monster here today, his plan to take Wan Simeng away through a deal is most likely impossible.

"Brother Wan, what do you say?" Lu Xuan seemed to glance at Wan Simeng inadvertently, then looked at Wan Chongshan again and asked.

  "This..." Wan Chongshan was stunned for a moment, but did not answer immediately. Instead, he turned to look at Wan Chongyang.

"Ninth brother, what exactly did you think of inviting Fellow Daoist Xueyang here?" Wan Chongshan naturally needed to understand the whole story. If this Old Ancestor Xueyang came just to lend a helping hand, would he agree to protect the Wan family through the difficult times?

If it is the latter, then it would be fine even if the family paid a sufficient price, but if it is just the former, then it is another matter, he will stand on Lu Xuan's side without hesitation.

"Fellow Daoist Xueyang is my good friend, and he has agreed to become a guest elder of my Wan family..." Wan Chongyang did not hide anything and briefly explained the situation immediately.

In short, the other party can be of assistance, but the family needs to pay a considerable amount of resources, which is nothing for the Wan family.

As expected, after hearing this, Wan Chongshan was immediately overjoyed. Becoming a guest elder of the family was much better than just a promise from Lu Xuan.

The other Jindan stage cultivators had the same idea and showed joy on their faces, except Lu Xuan, who had already become extremely gloomy after hearing these words.

It is now almost certain that I will return empty-handed this time.

This won't do. My life span is running out and I can't afford to waste any time. If I miss this great opportunity, I'm afraid there will never be another chance.

Although he has lived for thousands of years, he still hasn't lived enough and doesn't want to die like this.

Since you, the Wan family, have taken the initiative to break your promise, don't blame him for being ruthless.

His whole body turned into a wisp of light breeze and instantly appeared behind Wan Simeng. With a wave of his hand, a burst of green light spread out and instantly swept up the other party and disappeared into the hall.

The whole process happened in a flash, and no one present was able to react for a while. Or rather, no one expected that Lu Xuan would choose to use force when he saw that the situation was not right.

Moreover, Lu Xuan mastered the wind escape technique. Just based on this point, no one present could match him.

Wan Chongyang's face looked grim, and he immediately turned into a beam of light and flew out of the hall. Wan Chongshan and Xue Yangzi followed closely behind him and flew out.

As for the other Jindan stage cultivators, they could do nothing but look at each other in confusion.

……

As the former leader of the righteous path, the Wan family would naturally not be careless when it comes to protecting their family.

Theoretically speaking, although Lu Xuan kidnapped Wan Simeng unexpectedly, he was still trapped inside the Wan family's protective formation. If he did not take the initiative to open the passage, it would obviously not be easy for him to leave directly.

At this time, above the Wan family, near the light curtain formed by the formation, Lu Xuan was holding the motionless Wan Simeng in one hand, while looking at the people chasing them with a mocking look on his face.

The target has fallen into his hands, and with the people in front of him, it is impossible to take it back.

"Lu Xuan, I advise you to let him go quickly, otherwise don't blame me for being rude." Xue Yangzi shouted coldly, his deep eyes filled with blood and revealing a cold murderous intent.

Since he had accepted Wan Chongyang's invitation to become a guest elder of the Wan family, he naturally had to stand up, and he had to stand up. After all, only he had the strength to match the other party.

"You're welcome? Haha!" Lu Xuan did not show any fear, but asked calmly.

"I am a little curious. You, Old Monster Xueyang, are known for your eccentric personality and your ability to keep to yourself. How did you end up getting involved with Wan Chongyang? Or what kind of promise did he make to make you willing to stand up for this family that is about to fall?"

  "About to fall? It seems that you have never taken the Wan family seriously from the beginning, let alone provided them with so-called shelter!" Xue Yangzi smiled coldly.

"You are such a hypocrite, it is simply despicable. As for the origin of this old man and Taoist Chongyang, and the promises we made, why should I tell you?"

"You can say it or not, I am too lazy to ask." Lu Xuan snorted coldly, then looked at the two people from the Wan family and threatened them coldly.

"I am too lazy to talk nonsense now. I might as well tell you that I have my own special methods. If I were not worried about the life of this girl, this formation would not be able to stop me.

If you are smart, open the passage immediately. Everything that happened today can be treated as if it never happened. Otherwise, when I return to the Gathering Wind Island and gather my forces for revenge, your Wan family will be doomed forever."

"Lu Xuan, Lu Xuan, although my Wan family is in a state of decline, we cannot be bullied by any random dog. Don't you want revenge? Feel free to do so and see if I will surrender. As for Simeng, as a member of the Wan family, you have the integrity of the Wan family. Even if you die here now, it is a thousand times better than falling into your hands." Wan Chongyang had no intention of retreating, and then looked at Wan Simeng with a guilty look on his face.

"Don't blame Grandpa Jiu, little girl. I have tried my best, but I can only ensure that you die with dignity."

"Don't worry, Uncle Jiu, I don't blame you. Besides, I may not be in any trouble." Wan Simeng smiled brightly. It was obvious that she really had no intention of blaming the other party. However, what she said left everyone confused.

Nothing will happen. Where does this girl get such confidence? Is she talking nonsense because she knows she has no hope of survival?

Lu Xuan was also a little confused. He glanced at Wan Simeng's face and found that she was the same as before in the hall. She really didn't show any fear at all.

It was understandable before that the other party might have placed their hopes on Wan Chongyang, but it is still the same now, which is a bit hard to explain.

"There seems to be something hidden in what you said just now? Or, as a little girl in the Foundation Establishment Stage, do you really have something to rely on?" Lu Xuan narrowed his eyes and asked tentatively. At the same time, he exerted a little force on the other's shoulder, and suddenly a strong pain spread throughout Wan Simeng's body.

"Senior Lu, as a powerful Yuanying stage expert, can't you see whether I have support or not?" Although her whole body was in extreme pain, Wan Simeng still endured it and had no intention of begging for mercy.

"Yes, you do have some backbone. I admire you even more. Don't worry, when we return to Fengju Island, I will love you well and let you experience what it means to live a life worse than death."

"Really? Then I'm looking forward to it." Wan Simeng continued to retort. As expected, such an attitude made Lu Xuan even angrier.

A little girl, an ant-like existence, actually dared to provoke him again and again. She must be really tired of living.

But he suddenly realized that he had been tricked. This girl must have done it on purpose, just to provoke him so that he would die here.

"You want to die? But it's not that easy. Sometimes, living is more painful than dying. You will understand it sooner or later." Lu Xuan laughed sarcastically and then withdrew the strength in his hand. However, at this moment, a strange voice suddenly came into his ears.

"Living is more painful than dying. I don't quite believe it. How about you demonstrate it to me personally?" (End of this chapter)
