Mortals: Take Mo Juren at the start

The dim underground space was unusually quiet. A middle-aged man sat cross-legged on a high platform with his eyes tightly closed, as if he was asleep.

The four saint ladies on both sides of him and the countless figures densely packed around him all stood still, not daring to make the slightest sound.

But at this moment, the middle-aged man's eyelids suddenly moved slightly, and his eyes slowly opened.

In front of him, a crystal ball-shaped treasure with a diameter of half a foot appeared out of thin air, suspended in the air, with magical light flickering on its surface. It was obvious that it was not an ordinary object.

The man raised his hand and gently brushed the surface of the crystal ball. Suddenly, stars appeared inside the almost transparent crystal ball.

Those light spots flickered with colorful brilliance and seemed to be alive. Some of them did not change, while others were constantly moving, as if spreading in different directions.

Seeing this scene, the middle-aged man immediately showed a look of surprise.

He immediately raised a finger and gently tapped one of the light spots that was obviously moving rapidly.

The light spot seemed to be stimulated and trembled, then emitted a ray of light and went directly into the man's brow.

In just a moment, the middle-aged man seemed to know something and a meaningful smile appeared on his face.

"Mo Juren, are you finally here? But you didn't disguise yourself like last time. Instead, you revealed your true identity so blatantly. Do you think you are invincible and have nothing to worry about, or are you doing it on purpose for some other purpose?" The middle-aged man murmured to himself, as if he was thinking about something.

The four stunningly beautiful women on both sides of him had obviously heard it, and in their bright and clear eyes there flashed imperceptible joy, but it was gone in a flash.

The middle-aged man was naturally Liudao. The decisive battle with Xinggong had not been too long ago. At that time, he was deceived by Mo Juren and he still couldn't let it go.

Although the fundamental reason for the failure was still the lack of strength, the opponent clearly had the combat power of the Spirit Transformation Stage, but he insisted on playing tricks and pretending to be an old Taoist priest to deceive him.

Isn't this an insult? He admitted that he was not as skilled as others, but you can imagine how angry he felt when he was teased like this.

However, he was also very aware of the situation. The opponent was so strong, he knew he could not defeat him, so he had given up the idea a long time ago. Especially since Mo Juren was too evil, with the strength of the Spirit Transformation Stage despite his late Nascent Soul stage cultivation, he felt that revenge was hopeless.

However, he never expected that there would be a turning point. His luck suddenly exploded and he encountered the ancient ruins. Even a wisp of divine thought from his master who was far away in the holy realm came across the boundary.

Then, the grandmaster infused his body with the energy of the true devil, causing his cultivation to skyrocket instantly. He also obtained several top-level magic weapons and many secret techniques from the holy realm.

It was precisely because of this that he regained the confidence and dared to take revenge on Xinggong.

At this time, he has recovered to the late Nascent Soul stage again, but this still has not exhausted the potential of the true demonic energy in his body. With time, a breakthrough to the Spirit Transformation stage is inevitable.

Moreover, even if he has not made a breakthrough yet, as long as he practices the few holy realm secret techniques taught by his master to a small degree, and then uses several top-level magic weapons, he will have enough power to protect himself when facing ordinary early stage Spirit Transformation cultivators.

This is also the fundamental reason why he started to act so early. As long as he does not expose his position in a short period of time, he will be invincible.

In fact, he had already made a plan. He planned to start from the outer sea, eroding the power of the Star Palace bit by bit, and then launch a full-scale counterattack when he broke through.

By then, even if there was a powerful God Transformation Stage expert like Mo Juren in charge of the Xing Palace, he would not be afraid at all.

Unexpectedly, an accident happened again just as his plan began. In addition to Mo Juren, there were other cultivators in the God Transformation Stage in the Xing Palace.

  This is simply speechless!

Are the strong men in the Spiritualization Stage so worthless? There was none before, but now two have appeared at once.

In this case, he naturally had to restrain himself a bit. Of course, the plan would not stop, but the speed would be slowed down. He would wait until the day when he broke through to the God Transformation Realm. Then it would not be too late to launch revenge.

Even if Xinggong has two gods-level fighters, as long as he does not confront them head-on, but chooses to hide behind the scenes and control the puppet army to fight against them, victory will eventually belong to him.

"Mo Juren, Mo Juren, it doesn't matter whether you have become arrogant and unruly, or really have other conspiracy. As long as I don't fall for it, what can you do to me?" Liudao's eyes flashed, and he couldn't help laughing.

It can be seen from the last experience that Mo Juren is definitely an extremely sinister person, otherwise he would not have pretended to be mysterious when he could have crushed the opponent with his own strength.

  How shameless this is, of course it can also be said to be cautious!

When facing an enemy like this, you must not be careless at all. Fortunately, you now have the initiative in the war. As long as you can control your impulses, there will be no problem.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but look at the densely packed figures in the underground space. These were all human cultivators who had once been well-known in the cultivation world, but now they had all become his puppets. It was indeed somewhat ironic.

And this is where his confidence comes from. Among the secret techniques of the holy world obtained from his master, one of them is called "The Heart-Eroding Filthy Yuan Technique", which is a top secret technique that specifically uses demonic energy to erode people's hearts and turn them into puppets.

A strange demon seed will grow in the body of the puppet controlled by this method. It is invisible and colorless, fearless of death, and has almost no possibility of betrayal.

Of course, there are certain flaws. They are restricted by the amount of demonic energy and cannot be demonized indefinitely. Moreover, these puppets will quickly lose their own consciousness in the process, and can only fight the enemy mechanically, and will be targeted to some extent.

However, as long as the control is proper, or the number is sufficient to form a crushing situation, these shortcomings can be completely ignored.

Speaking of this matter, we have to mention the four women beside him and the dozen people below. These are the only exceptions.

It was when he was demonizing these people that he accidentally discovered that they were not pure humans, but possessed the blood of the demon race, and were called the half-demon race. After becoming puppets, they not only retained their own consciousness, but could even continue to practice and improve.

This really gave him a big surprise. After all, the chess pieces that could grow were far more valuable than those cannon fodders. Moreover, he also learned a piece of information from these people.

The number of the half-demons is not small, more than 100,000, and these people live in an extremely hidden secret place.

He also learned from the four girls about the relationship between Mo Juren and the half-demon clan. He had to admit that this guy was really lucky and could encounter any opportunity.

Putting aside his confused thoughts, Liudao looked at the crystal ball magic weapon in his hand again, then put it away with a sneer.

He began to fall into deep thought. Now that Xinggong had mobilized so much power and gathered it on Qiyuen Island, it was obviously coming for him. If he was still foolishly rushing forward under such circumstances, he would be mentally ill.

He would never make such a stupid mistake.

The outer sea is vast and boundless, and Qiyuen Island is not the only island inhabited by humans. He can simply move to another place and continue with the previous sneak attack tactics. By then, the man surnamed Mo will surely be furious.

Thinking of this, he no longer hesitated and began to make arrangements immediately.

On the one hand, he is searching for the source of the evil spirit. This may have been difficult in the past, but now he has learned a secret technique of sensing from his master. As long as he spends enough time, he will always be able to find it.

On the other hand, he began to prepare for the migration, which was also very important. The four women beside him and the dozen or so half-demons around him could serve as his capable subordinates, responsible for the management of all the puppets.

Of course, there is no rush for the second thing. We need to find more pure demonic energy first. It will not be too late to take action after accumulating enough.

... Time flies, and half a year has passed in a daze.

During the past six months, all the stranded mortals from various factions were taken to Qiyuen Island for temporary residence, and then returned to the inland sea for free through the teleportation array.

Due to the huge number of mortals, the amount of spirit stones spent is naturally not a small amount. Under Mo Juren's order, Xinggong will bear half of it, and the other half will be paid by the righteous and evil paths, as well as the various factions on Qiyuen Island.

If the cost is evenly distributed like this, the amount of spirit stones that each faction needs to spend is still acceptable.

As for the resettlement of these humans, Xinggong will be fully responsible for it, so everyone doesn't have to worry about it anymore.

The various factions on Qiyuen Island not only had no objection to this, but were happy to see it happen. After all, being able to get rid of so many burdens was something they could never wish for.

Over the past six months, the entire waters of Qiyuen Island have become extremely stable, and no attacks have occurred since then.

  Such a situation naturally made everyone a little confused, and they were even wondering in their hearts, could it be that the unknown existence had a change of heart and would not act recklessly again?

Of course, it's just a thought, they don't dare to gamble. Besides, only a few months have passed, who knows when it will suddenly appear?

Mo Juren was a little disappointed with this strange situation. He had originally thought that as long as the other party launched a sneak attack, they would be immediately locked by the Tianyan Treasure Wheel, and then he could follow the clues to find the other party.

Unfortunately, he miscalculated. For some reason, the other party did not fall into his trap at all. Although he made a big fuss about migrating mortals, he never made a move.

"It's a bit troublesome!" In a room somewhere, Mo Juren couldn't help but sigh. This opponent who didn't fight back at all really gave him a headache.

At this moment, he suddenly felt a little regretful. If he had known earlier, he should have asked Fairy Xuanming and Saint Ancestor Yuansha to leave, even if they were just boys, at least one of them would have been left behind. With the means of these three, it would certainly not be a problem to find out the whereabouts of the enemy.

Unfortunately, there is no use regretting, you have to rely on yourself for everything.

He had an instinctive premonition that the long period of inaction of the person suspected to be Liudao was not a good thing, but rather it was very likely that he was plotting a bigger conspiracy.

"Master!" Just as Mo Juren was deep in thought, he was suddenly interrupted by Han Li's voice. Then the door opened, and the other party and Xu Qingcheng both walked in with joy on their faces.

"Master, there is a clue!"

"Oh, tell me about it!" Mo Juren immediately showed joy when he heard there was a clue.

"It's like this..." Han Li was about to explain, but suddenly stopped and looked at Xu Qingcheng beside him.

"Let Fellow Daoist Xu speak. After all, the clue is related to her."

"It's Miaoru and the others. Not long ago, she used our tribe's unique 'Blood Response Method' and risked her life to send back a message." Xu Qingcheng was obviously a little excited. Miaoru's ability to send back a message was enough to prove that she was still alive.

"What did you say?" Mo Juren asked again.

"There are only five words in the message: Demonic species, Huangyan Island." Xu Qingcheng nodded. She was excited but also increasingly worried. Miaoru only sent back five words, which showed that the environment she was in must be extremely dangerous, and she didn't have time to say too much.

"Demon species, Huangyan Island!" Mo Juren was stunned.

  What does it mean?

It is understandable that Huangyan Island is one of the many islands in the outer sea occupied by humans. It has a large area and abundant resources, so a large number of human monks live around the island.

The other party mentioned this island. Could it be that the enemy is there? But this is obviously illogical. Even if Huangyan Island is the closest outer island to Qiyuan Island, it is still quite far away.

If it was really there, it would be unrealistic to stir up trouble in the waters near Qiyuan Island...

Suddenly, Mo Juren had an idea and thought of a possibility.

In the past six months, no matter how much we mobilized our troops, the other party never made a move again.

He originally thought that it was because of his arrival that he didn't want to take risks, but now it seems that this may not be the case at all.

It's true that the other party was afraid of his existence, but they didn't just sit there and wait for death. Instead, they made a "strategic shift" and went to other islands to cause trouble.

When he thought of this, he felt a little tricky.

The outer sea is so vast, and there are more than one island occupied by humans. If the other party uses such unscrupulous means to deal with him, it will be very difficult to find him again.

  However, Miaoru mentioned Huangyan Island. Could it be that the other party’s next target is there?

If the news is true, it would be a good thing. I can rush over there quietly.

In addition, there is the demon species mentioned in the information. What is it?

  Just by listening to the name, we can infer that it must be related to the devil's way. And the devil's way, could it be referring to that unknown existence, or is it the six paths at all?

What is that demon species?

Mo Juren immediately fell into deep thought, but at this moment, Han Li suddenly changed his expression and reminded him:

"Disciple suddenly remembered an unusual incident. I wonder if it has anything to do with this so-called demon seed."

"Tell me about it in detail?" Mo Juren's eyes suddenly lit up.

"Master, do you remember that half a year ago we were divided into four teams to rescue those mortals? I was the captain of one of the teams. Not long after we set out, I suddenly found that one of them was a little abnormal.

This person happened to be talking to me at the time, and when he was talking about a certain point, he suddenly became dazed, as if he had lost his soul, but he soon returned to normal.

I once asked him about it, and he said it was a problem with his own cultivation and it was not a big deal. I didn't pay too much attention to it, but now when I think about it, I still feel that something is wrong. "

"Remember that you and Yunlan have investigated all the Nascent Soul cultivators before, and are you sure there is no problem with this person?" Mo Juren frowned.

"There was indeed no problem at that time. As for afterwards, this person had to practice some secret technique in seclusion, so he never left Black Stone City. It shouldn't be possible for anything to happen again, right?"

"Maybe he already had problems, but you were unable to detect them from the beginning?"

"This……"

Han Li was stunned when he heard Mo Juren's speculation. If this was really the case, and even he and Senior Yun Lan could hide it, then things would be complicated.

This would mean that all previous inspections were useless, and perhaps there was more than one problem on Qiyuan Island.

"Master, what are you going to do?" Han Li collected his thoughts and asked again.

  "We can't act rashly, otherwise we might alert the enemy." Mo Juren shook his head slightly, thought for a moment and said again,

"I will go and investigate tonight to see if I can find anything. It won't be too late to consider what to do then." (End of this chapter)
