Mortals: Take Mo Juren at the start

Chapter 964: Changes in the Outer Sea

After Xiang Zhili and others entered the space node, Mo Juren did not leave in a hurry, but continued to stay on Baishi Island for nearly three years, until the Taichu Yuanshen was completely conceived and merged with the clone.

After doing all this, he did not delay any longer and said goodbye to everyone and left.

Unlike when he came here, he did not stop at all this time when returning. The Tianxuan Divine Ship traveled at a very high speed and it only took him about a year and a half to enter the Chaos Star Sea.

  What surprised Mo Juren was that he had only been away for less than ten years in total, but something big seemed to have happened in the Chaos Star Sea?

"Hello... Hello, senior!" Somewhere in the air, the Tianxuan Divine Ship was floating motionlessly, and on the deck, there were three Jindan stage cultivators standing side by side, one man and two women, all in the middle Jindan stage.

The three men at this moment did not have the aura of a Jindan stage powerhouse at all. Instead, they all looked cautiously at the middle-aged man in front of them, their expressions full of trepidation.

The middle-aged man was naturally Mo Juren. In front of him was a fist-sized irregular jade stone suspended in front of him. The jade stone was pure white in color, but it had a metallic luster on the surface. It was obvious that it was not an ordinary object.

"It is indeed the cloud gold stone. It is exactly what I need." Mo Juren nodded with satisfaction, and then he thought about it and put it away.

"This item was obtained by chance. It is an honor for the three of us to have caught the eye of the senior." The leading man had an old look on his face, wearing a green robe, and his wrinkled face was filled with smiles.

There was no way. The person in front of them was simply too powerful, and his status and position were even more special. How could a casual cultivator like them dare to offend him?

Just a while ago, when the three people who were traveling together were resting on the island below, they discovered this cloud gold stone by chance. It is also a well-known top-level spiritual material in the world of immortal cultivation.

The value of such treasures is too high. As long as the news gets out, even Yuanying stage powerhouses will come and scramble for it. It is far beyond the ability of the three Jindan stage cultivators to guard it.

Therefore, the best way is to auction it off, exchange it for other resources and then divide it equally.

Unexpectedly, the three had just finished their discussion and had not yet had time to set off when the existence in front of them suddenly appeared in mid-air, completely disrupting their original plan.

As for the identity of the person in front of them, although the three had never seen him in person, they had already learned about him from some public portrait materials, so they naturally recognized him at a glance.

In this case, I dare not have any other thoughts and just give the things directly to the other party.

"As a senior, I won't take your things by force. I have some good elixirs here, which are just suitable for Jindan stage cultivators. They are as valuable as that cloud gold stone. Let's exchange them for them." Mo Juren said as he took out three jade bottles and placed them in front of the three people respectively.

"Senior, you are so kind. We are grateful for your kindness." Hearing that the other party did not intend to seize it by force but exchange it with elixirs, the three of them were immediately overjoyed. After taking the jade bottle, they expressed their gratitude repeatedly.

As for what kind of elixir was in the bottle, although they were extremely curious, they did not dare to check it immediately. However, considering the other party's existence, what he took out would definitely not be bad.

"I just passed by here and happened to hear you guys talking. It seems that something happened in the open sea?" But at this moment, Mo Juren suddenly changed the subject and asked.

"Ah... Senior, you don't know..." The three of them were all stunned. Such a big thing happened in the outer sea, but with the other party's status, he didn't even know about it?

"I was out for something and just returned today." Mo Juren reminded them. Sure enough, after hearing this, the three of them suddenly realized something.

It turns out he was out for something, no wonder.

"The thing is, about eight years ago, several elders of the Spirit Sword Valley disappeared in the sea near Qiyuen Island..." The old man collected his thoughts and began to tell the story slowly.

Eight years ago, several elders of Lingjian Valley disappeared in the waters of Qiyuen Island. The valley master, Fairy Yunxia, ​​searched for a long time but could not find any clues.

In desperation, she could only ask Xinggong for help. Given the relationship between the two parties, she naturally could not ignore it, and she immediately sent two Nascent Soul stage elders to help search.

At first, everything was fine. Although there was no gain, at least everything was safe. Until nearly three years had passed and Fairy Yunxia was about to give up, the situation suddenly changed.

One of the Star Palace elders disappeared again when he went out to explore alone. There was no sign, not even a message, as if he had evaporated from the face of the earth.

This naturally attracted the attention of Xinggong immediately. Being able to make a Nascent Soul Stage expert disappear out of thin air without even having time to ask for help showed that the matter was definitely not simple.

In order to find out what was going on and to prevent further damage, Xinggong sent out a large number of people for the second time, and it was said that the leader was extremely powerful.

Sure enough, in the following years, everyone in Xinggong was safe and sound.

Unfortunately, other people began to suffer. People from various sects who originally lived in the waters near Qiyuen Island, as well as monks who came from the inland sea, would disappear from time to time.

Even as time goes by, the frequency of occurrence becomes higher and higher. In serious cases, some small forces and families will disappear overnight, and even mortals will not be spared.

As a result, the situation naturally became worse.

The people of Qiyuen Island are now in a state of panic. Under the arrangement of the Star Palace, a large number of cultivators and mortals have fled back to the inland sea. However, the capacity of the teleportation array is limited after all. After a few years, only less than 30% of them have escaped.

A large number of cultivators and mortals who did not have time to return were now gathered in Black Stone City and were protected by the powerful men of the Star Palace.

  "After such a long time, there is still no clue?" Mo Juren frowned. If his guess was correct, Han Li should also be involved and might be the team leader. Could it be that even he could not find out anything?

"Please forgive me, senior. We are just casual cultivators and the information we know is limited. As for whether we have found any clues, we don't know. If you want to know more, I'm afraid you will have to go to Tianxing City to find out." The old man explained quickly.

Mo Juren fell silent immediately. The other party was right. It was impossible for a few of them to know everything. They could only wait until they returned to Tianxing City to find out.

Thinking of this, he did not delay any longer. He raised his hand to wave away the three people, and then controlled the flying boat to break through the air.

"I only knew about this person from records before, but now I see him in person, and he is even more terrifying than what was recorded!"

"Brother Zhou is right. Although that person looked approachable from beginning to end, the invisible pressure he exuded made me feel a little breathless."

"Not only is he strong, but his appearance and demeanor are also first-rate. No wonder the young master of Xinggong is willing to marry him. If it were me, I would have no objection either..."

"What about you? What sweet dreams are you having?"

"..."

Looking at the flying boat that had disappeared into the sky, the three of them discussed in low voices, but after a few words, the tone of the two female practitioners' conversation suddenly became strange.

  This made the old man speechless, and he was too lazy to participate in it. He opened the jade bottle in his hand, and a burst of pure spiritual power mixed with a refreshing medicinal fragrance spread out. "This..." The old man's face changed, and then he couldn't wait to pour out a dark blue pill, and couldn't help but exclaimed again,

“It’s actually the Star Gathering Pill!”

The two women beside him were also shocked. They stared at the pill in the old man's hand with burning eyes, disbelief on their faces.

The Star Gathering Pill is one of the highest quality top-grade pills at the Jindan stage. It was made by a master of alchemy in the Star Palace and is very famous in the Inner Sea.

The medicinal effect of this pill is extremely good. It has a great promoting effect on the improvement of the cultivation level of cultivators in the Jindan stage, and it has no side effects. Therefore, every time it appears, it will be sold out in a very short time.

Without certain connections, it would be difficult to buy this pill on the market.

The old man was extremely happy at this moment. He had already checked and found that there were not just one but three Star Gathering Pills in the bottle. If he took and refined all of them, he could save himself decades of hard training.

At this time, the two women also opened the jade bottles in their hands and found that although the contents were not Star Gathering Pills, they were of good quality. It was obvious that they were made from high-level demon pills.

For a moment, all three of them became overjoyed.

……

After separating from the three people, Mo Juren went straight to Tianxing City.

With Han Li, Liao Qing and Snake Mother Yun Lan in charge, especially the latter who has the strength of the early stage of Spirit Transformation, theoretically they are able to deal with any emergency.

However, for some reason, he felt a little worried in his heart. Moreover, such a long time had passed and the situation in the waters of Qiyuen Island had not been resolved. It was obvious that something was really wrong.

On the rest of the journey, Mo Juren increased the speed of the flying boat to the maximum, and it only took about a month to finally reach Tianxing City.

There haven't been many changes in the city right now, it's still prosperous and bustling, but one can clearly hear countless discussions, all related to things happening in the open sea.

Mo Juren frowned. He ignored these fragmentary pieces of information and released his spiritual sense to sweep across the holy mountain. The next moment, he turned into a white rainbow and flew towards the top of the mountain.

At this time, at the top of the holy mountain, in the central hall, most of the Nascent Soul stage elders of the Star Palace were present, and they were discussing fiercely with each other.

Liao Qing sat in the first seat, silent, as if thinking about something.

But at this moment, a beam of light suddenly flew in from the entrance of the hall. When the light faded away, the familiar figure of Mo Juren appeared.

At that moment, all discussions came to an abrupt halt, and the spacious hall became extremely quiet.

"Husband, you're finally back!" Leqing was the first to react. She stood up immediately with an unconcealable smile on her face.

The other elders also came back to their senses and showed surprise.

Everyone was originally worried about the situation in the open sea, but now with the appearance of Mo Juren, it was as if they had found a backbone, and everyone's hearts, which had been hanging for many days, finally slowly settled down.

In the flash of white light, Mo Juren appeared in the main seat, nodded slightly to everyone, and then sat down.

Le Qing slowly stepped aside, held the pot with her bare hands and poured a cup of spiritual tea for the former, and then sat down at the seat below. The whole process was extremely natural, and there was no sign of any reluctance at all.

Seeing this scene, the eyes of all the elders present flickered. The Great Elder was a powerful cultivator in the late Nascent Soul stage. After all these years of getting along with him, he had always been resolute and decisive, and always kept his word.

But what was the result? She instantly turned into a little woman in front of her 'young master husband'. This strong contrast shocked everyone.

You have to know that the Great Elder is not the legal wife, but the young master is, and the other party's family has many wives and concubines. Such means can only make people admire and envy.

"What's going on in the open sea?" Mo Juren asked immediately after taking a sip of tea.

"It seems that my husband already has some understanding of the situation in the outer sea..." Le Qing nodded slightly, without hesitation, and began to tell the story in detail.

Different from the three Jindan stage cultivators who had only a half-understood understanding before, this time he finally figured out the whole story.

The situation was much more serious than he had expected. Not only Han Li, but also the snake mother Yun Lan went to Qiyuan Island.

In addition, the two also led more than twenty Yuanying stage powerhouses recruited from both the righteous and evil paths, as well as Yuanying stage cultivators from the major forces near Qiyuan Island.

So many forces were stationed in Black Rock City to investigate the changes there. However, not only did they not get any useful clues, but several Nascent Soul cultivators died one after another.

This is really too weird. In order to prevent anyone from getting into trouble again, everyone can only gather in Black Stone City. No one dares to take risks easily. Even if they want to go out to investigate the situation, they must have at least three Nascent Soul cultivators traveling together.

"What's the situation with the demon clan, especially the dragon clan?" Mo Juren fumbled for the teacup and asked again.

"The incident only happened in the waters near Qiyuen Island. As for the Wanzhang Sea and Panlong Sea, everything is normal. Princess Li Shu even asked Xiaoqi to send a message back, asking if I needed help, but I refused." Leqing shook his head slightly and sighed softly.

"It only happened in the waters of Qiyuen Island. Could it be that it is only aimed at us humans?" Mo Juren's expression changed and he said with some speculation.

  "We have had similar thoughts, but we just can't figure out the reason. Unless they have a deep hatred for the human race, then it can only be the demon race. Otherwise, why would they only target the human race?

But my husband also knows the situation of the demon race. There is no such strong person. And no matter whether it is the demon race or the human race, who can make Li Er and Sister Yun Lan helpless? "

"Those who have deep hatred for the human race, or rather, for my Star Palace, are not just the demon race." Mo Juren's mind moved, and he immediately thought of a person, who was the 'Six Paths' who had escaped by chance in the past.

But he couldn't understand why it had only been so long since the last war! Even if the other party was very talented, it was impossible for him to recover so quickly.

  To be able to render two powerful men, Li'er and Yunlan, helpless, one must have at least the same level of cultivation. However, in such a short period of time, the opponent started practicing by taking over another's body. How could it be possible that it was so fast?

Or maybe he was overthinking it. Could it be that a powerful hidden demon from the deep sea had unexpectedly risen?

"It's not just the demon clan, my husband means..." Le Qing was a little surprised, and the other elders present also looked curious. With their knowledge, they really couldn't think of any other late-stage strongman in the star sea today?

"It's okay to tell you, I'm not talking about anyone else, but your old acquaintance, Liudao..." Mo Juren explained slowly.

In an instant, the entire hall became silent again.
