Mortals: Take Mo Juren at the start

Chapter 970 Goodbye Liudao

Not long after, Mo Juren returned to Miaoyin Pavilion again. When he reached the third floor, he suddenly realized something and his expression changed.

I reached out and pushed open the door. The moment I entered the room, I saw Xu Qingcheng's figure.

"How is the refining of the magic weapon going?" Walking slowly closer, Mo Juren asked naturally without changing his expression.

  "It's going pretty well." Xu Qingcheng nodded slightly, but suddenly changed the subject.

"Brother Mo, you promised to protect me, but you left halfway. Aren't you worried about me getting into trouble?"

  "Before I left, I had 'seen' your situation. At that time, you were already at the end. After that, you just recovered your magic power. My presence or absence has little impact." Mo Juren explained with a smile. Hearing this, Xu Qingcheng didn't know what she was thinking. A trace of shame and anger flashed in her eyes.

"Okay, you've passed."

As she spoke, she gently flipped her jade hand, and suddenly a double-layered compass-shaped magical instrument emerged. It was silver-white in color, and many mysterious spiritual patterns were engraved on its surface.

"This is the sensing magic weapon you refined. It looks very ordinary, right?" Mo Juren looked at it for a while and felt that it was unremarkable no matter how he looked at it.

"You are ignorant." Xu Qingcheng snorted in dissatisfaction and continued,

"Have you heard of the famous 'Armillary Sphere' from ancient times? This item was developed by our ancestors based on some of the characteristics of this treasure. It can be considered an indirect imitation, but it has a miraculous effect in terms of sensing."

"Huan Tian Yi!" Mo Juren's eyes lit up. Although this treasure was not ranked high among the Tongtian Lingbao and did not have the ability to attack, it was unique in tracking, exploring secrets and sensing danger.

However, this treasure has only been mentioned in a few fragments in some records, and most of them are imitations. It is unknown whether the real one exists in this world.

"Since the treasure is ready, there is no need to delay any longer. You go and give instructions, and we will set off later." Putting his thoughts aside, Mo Juren made a decision directly.

Xu Qingcheng, who wanted to rescue his people as soon as possible, could not wait and immediately turned around and left the room.

The situation in Huangyan Island is a bit chaotic now. As the supreme elder of Miaoyin Sect, there are some things that naturally need to be explained.

……

Not long after, two beams of light flew out of Huangyan Island silently, and then broke through the air directly towards the north.

According to the information provided by the man in blue, the anomaly he had encountered was in the northern part of Huangyan Island, covering an area of ​​about 300,000 miles of sea.

For Mo Juren and Xu Qingcheng, three hundred thousand miles was just a journey of a few days, and they arrived soon.

"Are you sure this is the place?" In mid-air, looking at the endless sea below, Xu Qingcheng's heart was full of doubts. This place was really too ordinary. There was nothing but the vast ocean.

  "If the information from that person is correct, it should be here, but he only provided a rough range. We still need to continue searching for the exact location." Mo Juren nodded, then glanced at the silver compass in the other person's hand and asked again,

"Still no response?"

"I have been sensing it since daytime, but unfortunately I have not gained anything." Xu Qingcheng sighed, feeling anxious and a little disappointed.

  "Although the sensing distance of your compass reaches a thousand miles, it is still insignificant compared to the vast ocean. Besides, the farther the distance, the weaker the sensing will be, right?

Of course, don't worry, just keep searching. As long as the target is really in this sea area, I believe there is a 90% chance of getting something. "Mo Juren whispered a few words of comfort, and the two of them did not delay and continued to search.

Things were much more difficult than expected. The sea area was too vast and there were no accurate reference points. Finding the target was like looking for a needle in a haystack.

This is all thanks to the help of Xu Qingcheng's compass, which can lock onto an area of ​​a thousand miles in radius. Otherwise, this method of searching would simply not work.

After spending a whole day searching almost all the nearby sea areas covering tens of thousands of miles, they still found nothing.

Suddenly, the two fell silent.

  However, Mo Juren suddenly thought of a possibility. Perhaps there was some kind of restriction at the target location that could block the detection of the compass?

This immediately reminded Xu Qingcheng, but her compass was no ordinary item and it was not so easy to completely isolate it. She immediately used a secret method to maximize the power of the compass and continued to search.

Sure enough, this time there was finally a response. Less than half a day later, Xu Qingcheng, who was flying, suddenly stopped her escape light. Her bright eyes stared at the compass in her hand with an excited expression.

Unlike before, a faint light was now shining on the surface of the silver compass. However, it was only for a brief moment before the light suddenly went out.

"What is this?" Mo Juren frowned and asked quickly.

Xu Qingcheng did not answer immediately, but quickly raised her right hand. A drop of blood oozed out from her fingertips and flew directly into the compass. At the same time, she began to mutter something.

Soon, a bloody light appeared on the surface of the compass, and silver runes emerged out of thin air in the bloody light, and then condensed into an illusory pattern above the compass.

"Found it. It's about 300 miles away from here. However, there seems to be some powerful restriction blocking it, so the sense is sometimes there and sometimes not." When Xu Qingcheng spoke, the pattern was similar to the previous one, and it dissipated again in just a breath.

But at this moment she did not feel lost at all, as she had already memorized the information on the pattern, so it no longer mattered whether it was scattered or not.

Mo Juren also showed a look of realization, but without the slightest hesitation, he signaled the other party to take action immediately.

The distance of three hundred miles was just a moment's work for the two of them, and soon they arrived above their destination under the guidance of Xu Qingcheng.

Looking down, what comes into view is still the vast ocean, there is no difference.

  "Deep in the sea!" Mo Juren released his spiritual sense to scan the area below, and locked onto the target almost instantly. Xu Qingcheng also noticed it at this time and asked immediately,

"What should we do next? Go straight down?"

"No need, they have already come out on their own." Mo Juren narrowed his eyes and gave a reminder with a sneer. Sure enough, when Xu Qingcheng released his spiritual sense again to explore the bottom of the sea thousands of feet deep, he immediately found a series of black shadows coming towards the sea surface at a high speed.

Not long after, more than a dozen figures broke through the water and flew into the air, trapping the two men in the center.

Obviously, the other party also sensed the aura of the two people and attacked without hesitation. However, he seemed to underestimate the enemy, as all the people he sent out were at the Jindan stage.

On second thought, it is understandable. After all, both of them were disguised and only revealed their cultivation level of the Jindan stage. The other party sent more than ten strong men of the same level at one time, which actually meant they took it very seriously.

In addition, there seemed to be something wrong with these Jindan stage cultivators! Each of them had a wooden expression and dull eyes, as if they were unconscious puppets, but each of them was filled with violent energy, like a beast that would choose its prey.

"They are...demonizing..." Xu Qingcheng reacted almost instantly. Having fought against the Six Desires Demon Lord in the Holy Land of Bliss for so many years, she was naturally familiar with demonization.

"It seems that the situation is more complicated than expected!" Mo Juren thought of a possibility and nodded with some emotion, as if he inadvertently glanced under the sea, with disdain flashing in his eyes.

At this time, more than a dozen demonized monks around had already started to take action. Each of them had a wooden expression, but attacked like wolves and tigers.

These weren't monks fighting, they were clearly wild beasts. The difference was that each of them was shrouded in a layer of magic light, and they looked no simple unit.

Mo Juren snorted coldly and swung the red dragon staff in his hand at a high speed, repelling the enemies again and again. Xu Qingcheng next to him was no exception, also driving an ordinary flying sword magic weapon to fight the enemy.

The two men obviously concealed their strength on purpose, otherwise these demonized monks would not even have the chance to attack. However, these people's bodies were extremely strong, and the attacks of ordinary magic weapons could not cause much damage to them.

As time went by, the situation suddenly became strange. Although the two seemed to be struggling, they had been fighting for nearly half an hour without any signs of defeat. This naturally attracted the attention of a certain existence in the dark, and they immediately changed their tactics in shock.

Under his control, more than a dozen demonized monks suddenly stopped, and then quickly stood in specific positions, forming a formation.

Then, each of them made hand gestures and chanted obscure spells mechanically.

In an instant, demonic light flashed, and waves of demonic energy emanated from the bodies of every cultivator, completely blocking the nearby space.

Seeing this scene, Mo Juren immediately sneered, but he still had no idea of ​​counterattacking. Instead, he quickly sent a secret message to Xu Qingcheng.

Then, a small golden bell appeared in his hand. With the input of magic power, it instantly turned into a size of several feet, completely covering the two of them.

The battle seemed to be "reasonable" and came to a stalemate. More than a dozen demonized monks tried their best, but they just couldn't break the defense of the golden bell. In particular, the demonic energy released had extremely strong filthy ability, which was theoretically the nemesis of the monks' magic weapons. However, the surface of the golden bell was covered with a layer of golden lightning, which would purify the demonic energy that permeated it.

"Golden lightning, could it be the thunder that wards off evil?" Under the sea, a figure couldn't help but frown. He himself was not strong enough, and seeing that he could not win, he had no better way, so he could only send a message to the people below.

At the same time, thousands of feet deep under the sea, in an unknown space filled with demonic energy, a man suddenly opened his eyes, his spiritual sense instantly swept across the sea surface, and a strange look flashed in his eyes.

The man was naturally Liudao. He had just found the source of the sealed evil energy not long ago. He immediately abandoned his original hiding place and moved here with all his demonized subordinates.

There is not a lot of demonic energy here, and it took several months to refine most of it. Once all of this demonic energy is under control, not only will his own strength be further enhanced, but the army of demonized puppets under his command will also see a growth.

"The divine thunder that wards off evil, interesting!" In just a moment, Liudao had seen the situation on the sea surface clearly, and couldn't help but feel a little interested in the two human monks.

He is only in the Jindan stage, but his combat power is so strong that more than a dozen cultivators of the same level cannot defeat him. It can be seen that he is definitely the elite among the elites.

I just don't know where it came from? But it doesn't matter, in the end it still ended up being demonized.

Thinking of this, he immediately ordered a burly figure in a black robe below:

"Go ahead and take those two people down as soon as possible."

"Yes, my lord!" The man in black robe didn't hesitate at all. After a respectful salute, he flew straight into the air and disappeared from sight in the blink of an eye.

"They are Nascent Soul cultivators. No matter how strong those two are or how good their treasures are, it will be of no use." Liudao sneered. They were just two Core Formation ants. He naturally couldn't take action himself. He just let his subordinates handle it.

Speaking of his demonized army, although its combat effectiveness will become stronger, it has many disadvantages, especially the fact that its consciousness will gradually fade away, which is rather useless.

The only special thing is the dozen or so half-demons around him. They can hide in the dark and act as controllers, directing the battles of the demonized monks.

However, these people are still not strong enough. Except for the four saints around them, the rest are only in the foundation-building stage and are almost useless.

Therefore, he modified the technique to achieve a semi-demonic effect, which could preserve the target's sanity.

Of course, there are also disadvantages. A half-demonized cultivator will not have a demonized body, and his physical body is not that strong. Moreover, because he has retained his sanity, he naturally has his own thoughts and cannot be fearless of death. His combat effectiveness will also be weakened. Some people with strong temperaments would rather self-destruct and die with him than be controlled by others.

Therefore, he adopted a method that combined the two, selecting a group of semi-demonized people who knew the times, and the rest were still completely demonized to serve as cannon fodder.

The modification method was just completed not long ago, so there are not many semi-demonized monks at the moment, and they were all captured in the waters of Huangyan Island.

But there is no need to rush. There are so many human cultivators in the outer sea. I can just wait until I have refined the demonic energy here and then continue to catch them.

While thinking in his mind, he decided to close his eyes and practice again. He didn't need to worry about the situation outside.

However, before he could start, he suddenly looked up at the sky with an expression of disbelief.

He was about to take action, but suddenly thought of something. As soon as his mind moved, an identical figure appeared beside him, exactly the same as himself.

This is obviously a clone, and not only the appearance and figure, but even the fluctuations of magic power are exactly the same.

The clone shook slightly and then disappeared. The four holy ladies beside him looked at each other when they saw this, with strange looks flashing in their eyes.

Not only them, but also the half-demonized monks below who still had consciousness had different expressions, all wondering what had happened that could make this demon so unable to sit still?

Unfortunately, due to the formation blocking their way, they were unable to find out what was happening outside and could only make wild guesses. They secretly prayed in their hearts that something really big had happened and that the demon would die.

……

Above the sea, the man in black robe was driving a dense number of flying swords to frantically bombard the golden bell. However, the strange thing was that even so, the golden bell remained motionless.

This is so weird and doesn't make sense at all.

It was already outrageous that it was able to block the attacks of more than a dozen Jindan stage warriors before. Now, with the addition of a Yuanying stage warrior, it still cannot break the golden bell's defense. It is simply unbelievable.

At this point, the man in black robe had already understood that it was definitely not because the defense of the golden bell was too strong, but that there was something wrong with those two people.

Thinking of this, he instantly became alert, and while attacking, he also reported the situation back.

In just a breath of time, along with a dazzling light shooting out, another figure appeared beside him. It was Liu Dao who broke through the air.

The man in black robe was a little surprised. He originally just wanted to call for some support, but he never expected that the master would come in person.

The moment Liudao appeared, Mo Juren, who was under the golden bell, also narrowed his eyes, feeling an uncontrollable surprise in his heart.

I thought it would take some effort, but I didn't expect that this time I came here in vain and I met the other party directly.

This is really the best thing. We must solve it completely today so that all the disturbances in the open sea will return to calm.

Of course, having made a mistake once, Mo Juren dared not be careless again. This guy was too cunning and was completely different now. It was unknown how many ways he had to save his life. There could not be any mistakes.

"Huh?" At this moment, Mo Juren, who was staring at Liu Dao, suddenly felt something in his heart and vaguely realized something. When he looked at the other party again, his eyes instantly became meaningful.
