Mortals: Take Mo Juren at the start

Chapter 935: The Concerns of the Jiaolong Clan

The next morning, in the Starry Sky Hall.

At this time, the two deacons and elders who were in charge of guarding this place were standing respectfully aside, and not far away, there were several figures standing side by side.

The leader was none other than their own young master Ling Yuling and his husband Mo Juren. Behind them were two unfamiliar women, all of whom were Nascent Soul stage powerhouses.

Faced with these people, the two deacons and elders who were only in the Jindan stage dared not sit still, and they served cautiously on the side.

Not long after, with a flash of white light, another figure appeared in the hall. The light quickly faded, revealing an equally stunning and cold woman.

"Sister Bingfeng, you're here!" When Ling Yuling saw the woman, a smile immediately appeared on her face. She took the initiative to step forward, took the other's arm and greeted her affectionately.

Seeing this situation, Bing Feng couldn't keep a cold face anymore. Besides, she was only targeting a certain hateful guy and had no opinion on other people.

"I just made some preparations, so I was delayed for a while." Bing Feng explained, and a smile appeared on her cold face.

At this time, Xiao Qi and Zhui Yue also stepped forward to pay their respects. The two girls, who were both from the demon clan, instinctively admired Bing Feng, a senior from the demon clan who possessed such high-level blood and powerful strength.

Even over the years, the two women have received many instructions from each other, and they can be considered half-masters.

In essence, the two girls were just Mo Juren's spirit beasts, so even though Bing Feng had repeatedly said that there was no need to be too distant, it was still impossible for her to be as "unbridled" as Ling Yuling.

After some greetings, the few of them did not delay any longer and immediately stepped onto the teleportation array leading to Qiyuan Island. With a flash of white light, their figures disappeared without a trace.

"What happened today must not be spread out. You two must keep this in mind." After taking a glance at the empty teleportation array, Ling Yuling immediately instructed the two deacons and elders.

"Don't worry, young master. We two will never reveal a single thing." Without any hesitation, the two men solemnly stated their stance.

"That's good..." Ling Yuling nodded with satisfaction, then turned and left. When her figure disappeared, the two deacons and elders finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Facing so many Nascent Soul stage experts just now, the pressure was really too great, and at the same time, they couldn't help but feel a little confused.

The young master and her husband both knew each other, but who were the other three women? As a deacon elder, his background was naturally not low. At least all the great elders of the Xing Palace knew him, including those Yuanying stage masters of the vassal forces.

But the three women really had no impression at all, especially the cold woman who came last. The young master was so polite to her! He acted like a junior.

Not only that, the other two women in the Nascent Soul stage called each other "seniors", which was the most terrifying thing.

  Being called "senior" by a Yuanying-stage cultivator, was it referring to a specific elder? Or was it for another reason? If that was the reason, it would be incredible!

……

Qiyuan Island, Black Stone City.

Mo Juren was naturally familiar with this place. Not only had he been here many times, he had also had in-depth exchanges with many forces here. When he was collecting resources before, these sects had made considerable contributions to him.

Walking on the streets of Black Stone City, looking at the people coming and going, Mo Juren felt a little confused. Then he released his spiritual sense to scan the entire island, and suddenly everything was taken in.

The city was still prosperous, with no sign of tension at all, and those powerful men hiding in the dark were all doing their own thing, with no sign of anything unusual.

This is somewhat illogical. The situation in the inland sea changed suddenly and the Anti-Star Alliance suffered a crushing defeat. It has been a year now, and the news cannot be concealed.

Logically speaking, the various forces behind Qiyuan Island should be able to predict what will happen next, or at least find a way to deal with it. Why is it that they are still in this state of "entertainment to death"?

  Or, are these sects aware that the trend is unstoppable and simply lie low?

This is not impossible. After all, at the moment, the Inner Sea Star Palace is the only one in power and possesses absolute strength. There will be no good results if you compete with it. There is only one way to die.

In this case, it is not surprising that these sects choose to lie low.

Gathering his thoughts, he once again released his spiritual sense to explore the entire island several times. With his current powerful spiritual sense, nothing could escape his detection.

This time they were searching for Liu Dao, or Wen Tianren. Since the other party had appeared in Black Stone City before, perhaps they could meet him by chance.

Unfortunately, he was obviously overthinking it, and after several attempts at detection, he did not find any clues of the other party.

Mo Juren couldn't help but frown, but he had no choice but to give up. It seemed that it was not so easy to find the other party. The probability of a blind cat catching a dead mouse was too low.

The matters of the six realms can only be put aside for now and we can deal with them when there is a chance in the future. It is more important to deal with the important matters first.

The group did not stay in the city for too long. They took a brief stroll and then flew out of the island. When they stopped in mid-air, Mo Juren turned to look at Xiao Qi and Zhui Yue and asked:

"What are your plans next? Are you going to travel with us for a distance, or will you separate and head directly to the Ten Thousand Litre Sea?"

"Let's just separate. After all, the distance between us is not too far." Xiao Qi shook his head slightly, but suddenly changed the subject.

"I heard from sister Yuling that the news about that secret place seems to have been leaked. Now, not only the Jiaolong clan, but also some other high-level demon clans in the outer sea are also eyeing it. The Suanni royal family will naturally be no exception. I'm afraid there will be a lot of trouble by then."

  "Trouble?" Mo Juren laughed.

"With our strength, what kind of trouble can we have in this open sea?"

"Of course I know that you are powerful, but the outer sea is the world of the demon clan after all. They have stood from ancient times to the present day, and their combined strength should not be underestimated. You must not be too careless."

"That requires them to really work together. If all the high-level demons join forces and mobilize all the demon forces, I might be a little afraid, but will this happen?"

  "That... is indeed not the case." Xiao Qi nodded, but she just gave a reminder and did not mean anything else.

"I guess Princess Li Shu will be there by then. We will meet again then."

"Then we'll see you later."

After the discussion was finalized, Xiao Qi and Zhui Yue said goodbye and left immediately. Mo Juren also took out a small flying boat and invited Bing Feng:

"Feng Xianzi, please."

"There's no need to travel with me. I have my own sea chart. It won't be too late to meet up then." Bing Feng snorted coldly. Without waiting for the other party's consent, he turned into a white rainbow and flew away into the air.

"This woman!" Mo Juren was speechless for a while, but he could understand it.

According to the information left by Xiaoji Palace, there is a "blood feud" between the Ice Sea Monsters and the Ice Soul Fairy, which is indeed not so easy to resolve.

Bystanders have no right to comment on this kind of hatred.

As the descendant of the Ice Soul Fairy, he was in charge of the Xiaoji Palace. Not only did he destroy the Ice Sea Monster Clan's revenge plan, he also captured the other party. This was adding insult to injury.

It is enough of a concession if the other party does not care about your own affairs and gets along well with the people around you.

As for the fact that he always looked cold and didn't want to have too much interaction with him, it was just a trivial matter, so he naturally didn't take it to heart. Seeing that the other party had left, he didn't delay any longer and immediately boarded the flying boat...

……

Panlong Sea Area.

As the habitat of the Jiaolong clan, it not only covers a vast area, but also has countless spiritual islands, resources, etc. in the area.

The Jiaolong clan has been able to pass down from ancient times to the present day and has always stood at the top of the demon clan, on par with the Suanni royal clan. In addition to the clan's excellent bloodline and powerful heritage, an abundant supply of resources is also indispensable.

However, just over a hundred years ago, the situation changed dramatically.

A human cultivator inexplicably broke into the Panlong Sea. He not only destroyed the Ice Prison in the north, releasing a large number of imprisoned monsters, but also killed several elders in the Transformation Stage one after another.

Since then, the Jiaolong clan has lost all its reputation in the open sea, and its strength has been significantly weakened.

Those forces that were originally dependent on the Jiaolong clan, as well as those high-level demon clans that were in a neutral position, inevitably gradually moved closer to the Suanni royal clan.

This naturally dealt a more severe blow to the Jiaolong clan, and they also fell into a disadvantage in the competition with the Wanzhang Hai Suanni royal family.

After all, the human cultivator was the real culprit. The entire Jiaolong clan hated him to the core and even in the following hundred years they never gave up looking for him.

Unfortunately, after so much time, there has been almost no progress.

That person was not only powerful, but also extremely cunning, leaving very little information behind. This was the fundamental reason why we could never find him.

Faced with this result, although the Jiaolong clan was extremely unwilling, they had no choice but to accept it in the end.

In order for the tribe to recover as quickly as possible, the Jiaolong clan has spent a tremendous amount of energy and resources on the training of the next generation, and has achieved certain results.

However, compared with before, there is still a certain gap.

Therefore, they attach great importance to the ancient demon secret realm that is about to be opened near the Panlong Sea.

It is even possible that this will be a good opportunity for the Jiaolong clan to rise again.

At this time on Shenglong Island, in the meeting hall located in the center of the city, many high-level members of the Jiaolong clan in the transformation stage gathered here, discussing something fiercely.

  Sitting at the main seat in the center, King Jin Jiao remained silent. He swept his cold eyes over the elders below, and then said in a deep voice:

"What other opinions do you have about this secret realm exploration?"

“Of course I have no objection, but I do need to remind you that according to the information we have received, there are a lot of high-level monsters rushing to the secret realm this time. Almost all major forces have been dispatched, including the Suanni royal family.

Although the secret realm is located at the edge of Panlong Sea, it can barely be considered as the territory of our Jiaolong clan, but if a fight really breaks out, we may not be able to gain much advantage." An old man with a white beard sighed, with worry flashing in his eyes.

"It is indeed troublesome, but now that things have come to this, should we retreat? It's just a fight, are we, the Jiaolong clan, afraid?"

"I'm not that scared, but we have to consider the reality. We were already seriously injured last time, and if we suffer another loss during this secret realm exploration, we will be seriously hurt."

"Sixth Elder, you are being too self-deprecating. Although the last accident caused a lot of losses to our Jiaolong clan, it is by no means comparable to other clans."

"..."

  "Alright!" Seeing the fierce debate among the monsters, King Jin Jiao interrupted them directly and said firmly,

"No matter what the situation is, we must not give up on the secret realm. It is better for everyone to think about how to deal with it."

After this was said, the demons stopped arguing and began to think about how to deal with it. One of them, a silver-haired old man with a human appearance and a rather elegant temperament, who was sitting next to the Golden Dragon King, laughed and said:

"The outer sea monster tribe is essentially divided into three forces. One is us, and the other is the Suanni royal family. Both sides have a large number of vassal tribes under their command. In addition to these, there is another part that is in a neutral position and should not be underestimated.

As for this exploration of the secret realm, it is still a competition among these three forces, and it is mainly between us and the Suanni royal family. The strong men from those neutral tribes are unlikely to participate."

"What the Second Elder said is absolutely right. If that's the case, we actually have the upper hand. You have to know that exploring a secret realm doesn't involve a large army. It's just a competition between high-level experts.

In this regard, my king, who is a powerful warrior in the late stage of transformation, can be dispatched at any time, but the Demon Court cannot. Although that old Suanni is also in the late stage of transformation, he is very old and dying, and it is impossible for him to come.

In this case, what else can they use to fight with our tribe?" Another Jiaolong tribe strongman with a Jiao head and a human body, with dense red scales covering his neck and long red hair, said confidently.

"What the Fourth Elder said is correct, but you have overlooked a more crucial point." The silver-haired old man's eyes flashed and he shook his head slightly.

"More critical?"

At this moment, not only the Second Elder, but all the other monsters also showed doubts. Only the Golden Dragon King in the main seat had a look on his face, as if he was thinking about something.

The Second Elder is the wisest man in the clan, so it is obvious that he would not talk nonsense. Since he said there is a more crucial point, then it must be true.

But no one could remember what the key point was at the moment.

"Have you forgotten that the secret realm is not known only to our demon clan?" The silver-haired old man did not beat around the bush and gave a direct reminder. Sure enough, as soon as these words came out, all the demons showed a look of sudden realization.

  The human race also knows about that secret realm!

Not to mention other human beings, but Xinggong definitely knew about it. They even sent several Nascent Soul stage powerhouses to explore. One of the women was caught by the Seventh Elder and imprisoned in the Ice Prison in the northern seas.

Unfortunately, with the last incident, not only were the seven elders killed, but the human woman was also rescued.

Of course, these are no longer important. What is important is that since Xinggong knows the existence of the secret realm, it is very likely to be involved in it, and the situation will be very different.

As one of the most powerful forces among the demon clan, the Jiaolong clan naturally has spies among the human race. Over a whole year, the changes in the situation in the inland sea had naturally been reported back long ago.

The Anti-Star Alliance was defeated and eventually disbanded, and the Star Palace once again became the strongest force of the human race, just like it had done for tens of thousands of years.

Although the human race suffered heavy losses because of this war, it ended its internal strife and the threat level became even higher. What was particularly critical was that the Star Palace seemed to have two more late Nascent Soul fighters.

This was indeed not a good thing for the demon clan. When the news was received, not only the Jiaolong clan, but almost all the high-level demon clans in the outer sea had a violent reaction.

Everyone thought of the past, that long period of time when they were oppressed by the human race and it was difficult and suffocating. Just thinking about it made them shudder.

As a result, the infighting among the demon tribe has instinctively decreased a lot in the past few months.

If Xinggong really wants to participate in the battle for this secret realm and send out those two late Nascent Soul powerhouses, things will become extremely troublesome.
