Mortals: Take Mo Juren at the start

"My husband, what you mean is that Liudao is not dead?" After coming back to her senses, Leqing asked in disbelief. The others were also extremely surprised.

  The two Saints had solemnly declared before they went into seclusion that Liu Dao had died at their hands. How could he still be alive? It was impossible for them to fail with their strength, right?

“This matter is a bit complicated, and I don’t know the specific reasons. I only know that Liudao had long ago tampered with his disciple Wen Tianren, leaving him a way out. After his original body died, his soul took over another body and was reborn.

This matter was done in a very secretive manner. I didn’t know about it at first. I only learned about it by chance. But by that time, he had already fled to the open sea..." Mo Juren briefly explained the situation, and everyone was shocked and suddenly realized.

"So, the one causing chaos in the outer sea right now is most likely Liudao. But even so, his strength is too powerful. Li'er and Sister Yunlan can't do anything to him?" Leqing still couldn't figure it out. You know, Yunlan is a real powerful cultivator in the early stage of the Spirit Transformation Realm.

  "The above are just my guesses. I am not sure whether it is Liudao or not. As for his strength, he should not be as strong as imagined. It is not even certain whether he has broken through to the God Transformation stage. Otherwise, why would he always sneak around and attack secretly?

Obviously, he was still afraid of Li'er and Yunlan, so he could only choose this guerrilla approach.

According to my deduction, he most likely got some kind of heaven-defying opportunity, which made his cultivation level recover a lot in a short period of time, so he dared to show up in a hurry, and he should have mastered some special means to avoid the lock and detection of the strong men at the level of transformation." Mo Juren analyzed carefully while turning the teacup in his hand.

  "If that's the case, it's a good thing. However, he chose such an 'unscrupulous' method, which is still very troublesome." Le Qing sighed, but suddenly his expression changed, and then he smiled sweetly.

"I was confused too. There really was no solution before, but now that my husband is back, shouldn't it be easy to solve this problem?"

"Don't be happy too soon, things may not be that simple." Mo Juren was not too optimistic. Liudao knew his strength, and now he knew of Yunlan's existence, so he would definitely not show up.

Therefore, the strength is not the most important thing, but finding the opponent's trace first.

"I believe in my husband." Compared to Mo Juren, Liaoqing is more confident than him.

"When do you plan to leave, my husband?"

"There is no time to lose. I will go there tomorrow." Mo Juren's mind moved and he made the decision immediately.

"That's right. My husband has been gone for so long and everyone misses him so much. We really need to let him know he is safe first." Le Qing nodded slightly and then looked at everyone present.

"Let's go today. I'll let you know if there's anything else."

"I'll take my leave..."

Everyone stood up and saluted, then turned around and left tactfully.

"There is one thing I forgot to tell my husband." But at this moment, Leqing suddenly thought of something and said again with a serious face.

"What's the matter?" Mo Juren was slightly surprised. The other party showed such an expression, which seemed to be not a good thing.

"It's about Sister Xu."

"Xu Qingcheng, is she in trouble?"

"It's not her, but her people..." Le Qing shook his head slightly and then began to explain.

To be precise, it was not Xu Qingcheng who was in trouble, but the four holy ladies under her command, Miaoru, Xuanjing, Bihan and Chiyan, as well as a dozen clansmen.

Eight years ago, when a strange incident occurred and several elders of Lingjian Valley suddenly disappeared, it did not receive much attention and various forces did not pay much attention to it.

Unfortunately, about three years later, Miaoru and Xuanjing went to Qiyuen Island for some matters, and they also lost contact.

At that time, Xu Qingcheng happened to be in seclusion at a critical moment. Bi Han and Chi Yan naturally did not want to disturb her. After discussing privately, they took some Jindan stage clansmen directly to Qiyuen Island for investigation.

The result was predictable. Not long after, everyone disappeared, including the Nascent Soul stage elder from the Xing Palace.

After the news was passed back, Xinggong immediately took it seriously and also informed Miaoyinmen of the situation.

It happened that Xu Qingcheng had just come out of seclusion. After learning about this, he became extremely anxious. He then went to Qiyuen Island with the second group of people from Xinggong, and is still in Black Stone City.

  Mo Juren could understand Xu Qingcheng's feelings. She had a very close relationship with the Four Saint Ladies. Although they were nominally master and servant, in reality they were almost like his own daughters. As a result, they all got into trouble, and more than a dozen half-demons were implicated. How could she not be anxious?

Five or six years have passed, and there is still no news of these missing people. I think they must be in danger, right? If the four saints really lost their lives, I don't know how she would accept it?

After saying this, the two of them also left the hall and flew towards the cave.

Although many people had left, the cave still did not seem deserted. The four ordinary ladies, Mo Yuzhu and Mo Fengwu were all there, as well as Ling'er and Leqing. Everyone gathered together and it was still very lively.

Mo Juren also briefly recounted what happened at Wulonghai, and the girls heaved a sigh of relief when they learned that everything went well.

Obviously, the changes in the outer sea had a significant impact on the women in the Mo Mansion. Although everyone was safe and sound, they still couldn't help but worry.

……

翌日清晨，天光微亮.

Mo Juren and Le Qing had already arrived at the Starry Sky Hall. As soon as they showed up, the two deacons and elders who were in charge of guarding the place immediately came forward to greet them warmly.

Not only that, there were many other Star Palace monks in the hall, who were busy doing something in front of a teleportation array.

"In order to allow more people to return to the inland sea for refuge, the teleportation array connected to Qiyuen Island has been operating continuously almost all day long, with only this one hour in the early morning left for maintenance." Le Qing explained it, and also made Mo Juren understand the reason why so many Star Palace monks were surrounding the teleportation array.

"So it's open now?"

"If it's just once, it won't matter. Besides, there are so many formation masters and weapon refiners on standby at any time. Any problems can be discovered and dealt with in time."

"In that case, let's get started."

Mo Juren nodded, and then he appeared in the center of the teleportation array in a flash. One of the deacons and elders immediately handed him a teleportation talisman, and then it started.

With a flash of white light, the teleportation array was empty.

"The task of teleportation is very heavy. You must stay vigilant at all times and never let any problems occur in the formation." Le Qing glanced at the teleportation array, then explained something to everyone before turning around and leaving the hall.

……

In just a moment, Mo Juren appeared at the other end of the teleportation array.

The familiar stone house was still in front of them. In addition to the deacon elders who were in charge of guarding it, there were also more than a dozen array masters and weapon refiners. The moment they saw Mo Juren, their expressions immediately froze, and then they stepped forward to salute and greet him respectfully.

"Continue with your own things and don't worry about me." Mo Juren waved his hand and walked straight outside. As soon as he walked out of the door, he was instantly shocked by the scene in front of him.

What came into view was a densely packed crowd of countless people, which had surrounded the square around the stone house. There were monks and mortals inside, all of whom were waiting with serious expressions.

Obviously, these were people who were planning to return to the inner sea. Most of them were monks, and there were only a few dozen mortals in total.

Mo Juren frowned. Unlike other offshore islands, the customs on Qiyuen Island were special, and it was not uncommon to see some low-level female cultivators being sold as commodities.

At the same time, Black Stone City and nearby factions also kept a large number of mortals, selecting young boys and girls with outstanding looks and using them specifically for the flesh trade.

Because of the disputes in the inland sea, Xinggong and Anti-Star Alliance have been fighting for years and have no time to care about this place, making Qiyuan Island the most special offshore island.

More than a dozen medium-sized sects united together and became the actual managers here. Even though some things were a bit out of line, Xinggong still turned a blind eye to it.

Although the Inner Sea has been unified now and the dozen or so sects here have expressed their submission, some things cannot be reversed in a short period of time.

For example, the auction of low-level cultivators is expressly prohibited in the Star Palace, so it has been stopped on the surface. However, there is nothing wrong with supporting mortals to do flesh trade, and even the Star Palace will not interfere.

The reason is very simple. The flesh trade has a long history and has existed since ancient times. Not to mention Qiyuen Island, it also exists in the inland sea, and the business is equally prosperous.

Xinggong couldn't possibly get involved in such matters, otherwise it would be making an enemy of the world.

Of course, this is not the focus of Mo Juren's attention, but now so many people want to be teleported back to the inner sea, but most of them are cultivators. Mortals have no value at all, so naturally no one is willing to pay even a spirit stone for them.

This couldn't be blamed on the monks' stinginess. It was just a casual affair, just for fun. How could there be any real feelings? Moreover, mortals have a short lifespan. No matter how beautiful they are, they can't keep it for a few years. Naturally, no one would cherish them. If they really took them back to the Inner Sea, they would be a complete burden.

Mo Juren has already used his spiritual sense to scan the entire Qiyuen Island. A large number of mortals have gathered on the island. At this moment, they all have sorrow on their faces. If they were not still protected by the monks, they would have despaired long ago.

Even so, seeing more and more monks fleeing back to the inland sea, it would be a lie to say that I wasn't moved, but there was nothing I could do. Except for a few who were really valued by a certain monk, most of them couldn't leave.

You know, they are still lucky. The mortals raised by the sects in the nearby sea areas are really miserable. Only a small number of them followed the monks of various sects to Qiyuen Island, and most of the rest were simply abandoned.

Now no one knows whether these people are alive or dead.

The appearance of Mo Juren attracted the attention of everyone present. Under the current situation, few people were willing to come from the inland sea, and those who could come were all strong men who came to support.

With his current fame both inside and outside the starry sky, and without any disguise, he was naturally recognized quickly, and for a while, the sound of whispers could be heard one after another.

Mo Juren ignored all this and turned into a white rainbow and flew away into the air.

……

In the center of Blackrock City, in a hall that had obviously been built not long ago, there were dozens of figures sitting in different places, all with serious expressions, and they were constantly talking in low voices.

All of these people are above the Nascent Soul stage. Some of them are reinforcements from the Inland Sea, while others are elders from various factions near Qiyuen Island.

Han Li sat in the middle of the main seat on one side of the hall, with Snake Mother Yun Lan and Xu Qingcheng on his left and right. While the three of them were listening to the discussions below, they also exchanged a few words from time to time.

But at this moment, Han Li and Yun Lan, who were in the lead, changed their expressions almost at the same time, as if they had noticed something, and immediately turned their heads to look towards the entrance of the hall.

Sure enough, with a flash of white light, Mo Juren's familiar figure emerged.

"Master!" Han Li stood up immediately, with an unconcealable look of surprise on his face.

At this moment, the entire hall suddenly became silent. Everyone turned their heads subconsciously and saw that almost everyone stood up at the same time.

A person's name is like the shadow of a tree. As for the decisive battle in the inner sea, some secrets have long been exposed. At least those at the Nascent Soul level know something about it.

Not only that, Mo Juren is also the husband of the Star Palace Young Master and the future master of the Star Palace. Even the current Grand Elder of the Star Palace, the late Nascent Soul stage powerhouse Han Li, and the even more mysterious Fairy Yunlan are all closely related to him.

Such an existence is unprecedented and will never be seen again. No matter how brave they are, they dare not offend them.

As Mo Juren slowly walked into the hall, all the Yuanying stage warriors who had come to their senses smiled and greeted him respectfully.

Some people who had had interactions with Mo Juren before, such as Xiang Chongfeng, the head of Cunjin Pavilion, the old man surnamed Guo from Xuanyue Sect, etc., did not care about their face at all at this moment, and came forward to talk enthusiastically.

Mo Juren accepted everyone who came and handled them with ease. It was not until a full quarter of an hour had passed that this "large-scale social gathering" came to an end.

At this time, he had already arrived at the high platform on one side of the hall. He nodded slightly to Xu Qingcheng and Yun Lan, and then sat down directly on the main seat that Han Li had already given up.

"How is it? Still no clues?" Mo Juren didn't beat around the bush and asked Han Li directly.

Yesterday in Tianxing City, he had already learned everything from Lu Qing. There was no need to waste time asking other questions now, but to go straight to the most crucial issue.

"The other party comes and goes without a trace, and is especially good at hiding his aura. It's incredible. Several years have passed, and no matter how we investigate, we can't find any clues." Han Li couldn't help but sigh when this matter was mentioned. It would have been fine if he couldn't find it, but Senior Yun Lan couldn't find it either. It was as if the so-called enemy was fake and didn't exist at all.

However, the continuous disappearances in the past few years are enough to prove that the enemy does exist, but is too cunning. They never fight head-on, but choose to launch sneak attacks instead.

Such behavior is really a headache, and in order to reduce casualties as much as possible, in the past three years, they have not dared to send people to investigate easily. They can only gather on Qiyuen Island and rely on the protection of the formation to fight against the unknown existence.

This method of dealing with the problem did have some effect, at least no more monks were injured or killed. However, it was not just him, almost everyone present felt extremely aggrieved.

With so many strong men, they would be a terrifying force anywhere. But now they are in such a mess because of that unknown existence. It is really ironic. (End of this chapter)
