Mortals: Take Mo Juren at the start

"How many places are there?" Mo Juren's eyes flickered.

"Your Highness, do you have any plans when you ask this?"

"Fellow Daoist, why are you asking when you already know the answer? I naturally want to fight for this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for my relatives, but I don't know if this is feasible?" Princess Li Shu did not beat around the bush and spoke directly.

"Of course you can, but I need to remind you that the method I'm using is opportunistic and carries great risks. If you're not careful, you could end up dead or alive. Before you make a decision, I hope you'll think carefully about whether you want to take such a risk."

"Compared to being able to go to the spirit world, it is worth taking some risks." Princess Li Shu seemed to be mentally prepared and did not back down because of the other party's reminder.

"Who are they specifically?" Having said this, Mo Juren did not say anything more, but did not agree immediately. Instead, he asked again.

"Of course, the more the better. To be honest, my ancestor..." Princess Li Shu just opened her mouth when Mo Juren raised his hand to interrupt her.

“Your Highness, don’t overthink it. Mo does have the ability to lead others to the spirit world, but not everyone can do it. The most important thing is aptitude and potential for growth.

After all, you are going to become Mo's subordinates. If you are too ordinary and have no training value, what's the point of following me? It's better to stay down there and have more freedom.

As for the number, it is also impossible to have no limit. Mo's ability is limited. It would be too dangerous to bring too many. I can only provide two places at most."

Mo Juren naturally said this on purpose. After all, the other parties were all monsters and could be brought up through the spirit beast bag. It would not affect the Tianxiang Pendant, so it didn't matter if there were more of them.

Even if you encounter danger on the way, as long as you are ruthless enough and abandon it in time, you will not be implicated.

But he didn't want to do that. After all, he was not a rag collector who liked all kinds of stuff. Although the royal family of Suanni was known as the descendants of the dragon clan, the actual situation was completely different.

After all, this is just a world of the lowest level. The emergence of an Ice Phoenix, who has not only awakened the true spirit bloodline but also inherited the magical power of space, is absolutely one in a million, and there cannot be too many of them.

This is also because the Phoenix Clan is "clean and self-disciplined" and has extremely strict requirements for inheritance. Unlike the Suanni royal family and the Jiaolong clan, they did not inherit the good aspects, but learned the "dragon's nature is lustful" to the fullest.

The two major ethnic groups are famous for being open to all comers when it comes to reproducing offspring, and any ethnic group is welcome.

This certainly has a good side, as it allows the population of the tribe to remain stable, and is also the main reason why the two tribes have been able to dominate the outer seas for tens of thousands of years.

But at the same time, because the blood hybridization was too chaotic, the already thin ancestral blood almost disappeared.

Only some special lucky people, such as Princess Li Shu, who by chance have a trace of their ancestral blood returning to their ancestral lineage, will have different qualifications.

Princess Ziyun is a different case. As the offspring of a human and a demon, her original bloodline was extremely poor. It was only because she later got another opportunity that her bloodline mutated.

Apart from the two women, there is no one else in the Suanni royal family who can be mentioned. The Jiaolong clan is in a similar situation, with only one Golden Jiao King in the past.

  Think about it, both major ethnic groups claim to be descendants of the dragon clan, but have been suppressed by the Star Palace for tens of thousands of years and cannot raise their heads. This shows how much water there is in it?

Mo Juren naturally would not take the two tribes seriously. In fact, even Li Shu and Ziyun still could not meet his requirements. It was not that they were not worth training, but his energy was limited after all, and resources could not be endless.

There are enough people around me, there is no need to add more.

This time, his intention was to weaken the strength of the outer sea monster tribe. In addition, the two girls' qualifications were acceptable, and there was also the favor of Xiao Qi and Zhui Yue, so he mentioned this matter.

Two names were specifically picked out, and they were the target. Without these two, the Suanni royal family would not be able to recover even after another thousand years.

After hearing Mo Juren's answer, not only Princess Li Shu, but also Ziyun and Biluo beside her changed their expressions.

I originally wanted to have more tribesmen go to the spirit world together. Even if we have to be controlled by others, compared to a broader future, the benefits still outweigh the disadvantages.

Now it seems obviously not possible, the other party only agreed to give two places, which is far from enough.

The three girls looked at each other and fell silent, especially Princess Biluo, whose face looked even more gloomy at this moment.

She was not stupid. The two places mentioned by the other party even specifically pointed out that they required excellent qualifications and higher growth potential.

Then only my two sisters meet the requirements, and I am far from being able to compare with them.

  When she learned that she could go to the spirit world even if her cultivation was not enough, she was very happy for a long time and thought about going with her two sisters. But the result was this situation. How could she not feel disappointed?

"Could you please stay on the island for a few days? We also need some time to discuss." After thinking for a moment, Princess Li Shu spoke again.

"This matter is not urgent. After all, I haven't decided when to go to the spirit world. There is plenty of time to think about it before that." Mo Juren laughed and said no more. The three women who heard this felt relieved. At least they didn't have to make a decision immediately, otherwise it would be really uncomfortable to make a choice.

After finishing the business, the two sides did not disperse immediately, but continued to chat about some trivial matters, including the changes in the inner and outer seas in the past hundred years, and the current situation of the human and demon races.

Because there were no major disputes, both sides developed well and their strength increased significantly. Of course, this only includes the high-level ones. The fighting between the lower-level monsters and low-level human cultivators has never stopped.

This situation is also tacitly agreed upon by the top leaders of both sides. Although there will be damage, the benefits outweigh the disadvantages and it will greatly promote the growth of both tribes.

If the situation becomes stagnant, it will be of no benefit to either side.

Unconsciously, they talked about the situation of the Jiaolong clan. After all, Princess Li Shu was also involved in this matter. However, she didn't know what Mo Juren's purpose was in making such an arrangement.

A few years ago, the secret agent left in Panlong Sea sent back news that Wu Yue, the fourth elder of the Jiaolong clan, had broken through to the final stage of transformation. This was all thanks to the secret "help" of the person in front of him.

Of course, she also had a part in it, and she arranged the specific process herself. Apart from herself and her ancestor, very few other clan members knew about it, not even her two younger sisters.

There was no other way. She used the clan's secret agents to continuously "support" the Jiaolong clan, and it was impossible to hide it from the ancestors. When she learned that it was Mo Juren's instruction, she ignored it.

Otherwise, she would really become a traitor to the royal family.

Now that her two sisters suddenly mentioned this matter, she naturally would not talk about it too much. Mo Juren understood what she meant and simply agreed with a few words without saying anything more.

It was not until it got dark that the crowd dispersed. Mo Juren, under the guidance of Xiao Qi and Zhui Yue, entered a very familiar room.

This is where I lived when I last visited Yuanxing Island. I didn't expect that after so many years, this place still remains the same as when I left.

Xiao Qi and Zhui Yue even mentioned that after he left, Princess Li Shu immediately designated this room as a restricted area and did not allow anyone to approach.

"She is thoughtful!" Mo Juren nodded slightly, and had to admit that there was a reason why the other party could become the actual controller of the royal court. His status and strength were one aspect, and his means of handling things were indeed thoughtful. This ability was also useful to him. When he arrived in the spirit world in the future, he could not be alone like Han Li. After all, he did not have a small bottle, and resources could be supplied unlimitedly.

The expenses of this large family are not a small amount, and every penny needs to be planned. Then establishing a force is the most suitable shortcut.

As for what kind of force it is, he already had an idea in his mind, and a talent like Princess Li Shu, who is a member of the demon clan, is just what he can use.

"Tell me about Wu Yue's situation?" Putting aside his thoughts, Mo Juren immediately asked about the main business. It was not convenient to say more in the hall before, but it was okay now.

"To be specific, it should be more than ten years ago that Wu Yue had successfully made a breakthrough, but he kept it secret all the time and few people knew about it. It was only later by chance that he was discovered by the secret agent left there by the royal court, and the news was passed back in time." Xiao Qi gave a brief explanation. Hearing this, Mo Juren sneered.

He understood why the other party wanted to keep it a secret. You have to know that the life and death of the six elders of the Jiaolong clan are in his hands. If he is willing, the newly grown Wu Yue might be in danger of dying.

After all, his strength had spread throughout the Inner Sea and the Sea, so how could the Jiaolong Clan not be on guard? It was not easy to give birth to a king again, so naturally he could not be easily exposed.

  "If my guess is correct, Wu Yue should have hidden himself now, right?" Mo Juren laughed, and sure enough, Xiao Qi also smiled.

"Master is right. He did hide. It's a pity that Princess Li Shu was prepared and has already determined his location."

"Where?"

"Dragon Burial Abyss!"

"Oh?" Hearing this familiar name, Mo Juren's eyes suddenly lit up. It was the old place. He had stayed there for nearly twenty years.

Wu Yue was actually hiding there, which was indeed a good choice. As one of the several secret realms of inheritance of the Jiaolong clan, there was almost nothing missing in the Dragon Burial Abyss, and it was definitely an excellent place for retreat and cultivation.

More importantly, the opening of the Dragon Burial Abyss requires a special secret method, otherwise it is impossible to enter or exit.

  But that’s it!

Compared to humans, entering and exiting the Dragon Burial Abyss is indeed difficult, but for him it is not difficult at all.

After killing so many transformation-stage dragons, soul-searching was inevitable. No matter whether it was the third elder in the past or the Golden Dragon King, the dragon clan had no secrets at all for him.

"I plan to set off tomorrow. How about you guys? Will you come with me and return to the Inland Sea later, or do you plan to stay here?"

  "We..." Xiao Qi and Zhui Yue looked at each other. Xiao Qi thought for a moment and then said,

"You should stay here for now. After all, it's more comfortable to live in the demon clan's territory. In Tianxing City, we are surrounded by humans, which makes us feel a little awkward. Of course, if the master requests, we can leave with you."

"That's not necessary. If you like, you can continue to live here. When you set off for the spiritual world, it won't be too late to go back then." Mo Juren has always been very tolerant towards his own people. Since the other party is willing to stay in the open sea, then just let them stay.

"Thank you, Master." Upon hearing this answer, Xiao Qi and Zhui Yue both smiled sweetly. In fact, they had already guessed that the master would never force them to do such a thing.

After a pause, Xiao Qi's expression suddenly changed and he asked again:

"The master mentioned in the hall before that only two places would be given to Sister Li Shu and the others. Is that true?"

"Why, do you have any ideas?" Mo Juren glared at him unhappily, but Xiao Qi was not afraid at all. Instead, he sighed and said,

"This matter is naturally decided by the master. I dare not have any opinions. But there is one thing that the master should be able to see. Sister Li Shu and Sister Zi Yun both care about Princess Biluo very much. It is impossible for them to abandon each other and go to the spirit world on their own."

  "How can you be sure that I want to take them away?" Mo Juren was slightly surprised, but Xiao Qi rolled his eyes at him.

"I'm not stupid. The conditions proposed by the master are so harsh. Who else can meet them except the two of them? And you must have another purpose for doing this, right?"

"You can think of this. It seems impossible to hide it from the other party. I just don't know what choice he will make..." Mo Juren teased with a smile, and Xiao Qi's pretty face turned red with anger.

How abominable! This clearly means that she is stupid!

However, she did not have time to get angry, and instead asked again: "Master, can't you be a little more flexible? Give them one more place, at least bring Biluo with you, so that they won't have such a hard time making a decision."

  "People will never cherish things that are too easy to get. There is no harm in letting them struggle for a while." Mo Juren laughed and changed the subject.

"It's okay to have one more spot. I'll give this favor to you two. Just bring it up when the time is right. I'll consider it then."

"So this is the master's plan." Xiao Qi suddenly realized something and looked at Zhuiyue again, both of them smiling happily.

……

At the same time, in another palace, in Princess Li Shu's boudoir.

At this time, the three sisters were also discussing what to do during the day. Mo Juren only provided two places to go to the spirit world, which was much worse than their original plan.

When my ancestor heard the news, he was very happy for a long time. His life span was running out, and if he could reach the spirit world, perhaps his life span could be extended.

Now it seems that this is obviously not feasible and Mo Juren would never agree to it.

  What is the purpose of the other party doing this? Why give such an opportunity for no reason?

With their identities, it was impossible for them to be isolated from the news. Whether it was the open sea or the inner sea, the information on the surface was clear. In addition, knowing that the other party could take people to the spiritual world, they thought it through completely.

It was nothing more than wanting to weaken the strength of the outer sea demon clan. After all, if both of her sisters succeeded in breaking through, together with the ancestor, they would be the three most powerful men in the late stage of transformation.

It seems that they are not a threat to the human race, but Mo Juren is going to ascend, and now it seems that there must be more than one, the first elder of the Star Palace, Lao Qing, and the senior Bingfeng and so on.

In short, these people will most likely leave together, and then the top powerhouses of the human race in the Inner Sea will be instantly cut off. Once there is any disturbance, what can the human race use to resist?

However, the key to the problem is that even though we know the other party’s true intentions, we have no choice but to accept it.

That’s right, I can’t accept or refuse.

Firstly, the temptation of the spiritual world is indeed too great, and even if it will lead to a significant weakening of the demon clan's strength, it is difficult for them to refuse.

Secondly, he didn't dare to do it, thinking about the other party's ruthless methods in the past.

If he really refused, it would be impossible to predict whether the other party would turn hostile and kill the high-ranking officials of the royal court before leaving or carry out a major purge.

When this was mentioned, the three girls suddenly stopped talking, and their sparkling eyes were filled with deep fear. (End of this chapter)
