Mortals: The Daily Life of Hidden Moon Sect

Chapter 643

No one knew what Shi Kun was thinking, but he showed a bright smile on his face and greeted Lin Mo respectfully.

The gazes of the male and female monks from the Sea King clan opposite them suddenly turned cold, and they looked at Lin Mo carefully with hostile eyes.

However, when they found out that Lin Mo was only a seventh-level upper clan member, they looked at each other at the same time, and saw surprise and confusion in each other's eyes.

"Are you also a member of Tianyun Continent?" the man opened his eyes wide and raised his voice.

"At least, that's what we can think of it for now. May I ask if you two fellow Taoists here have any intention of attacking my companions?" Lin Mo quickly returned to normal and asked calmly.

"Attack them? If we really want to do that, then they might not be able to stand here safely now!" The man from the Sea King clan responded with a sneer, his tone full of sarcasm.

"What did you just say? You're quite arrogant! Haha, although Shi's strength is mediocre, I really want to learn how powerful the magical powers of the Sea King Clan, one of the three major sea clans, are."

When Shi Kun heard this, instead of getting angry, he burst into laughter. Then he took a big step forward and said gloomily.

When the man from the Sea King family saw Shi Kun's actions, his face darkened and he reached out with one hand to grab at the void in front of him. Suddenly, a blue light flashed, and the trident that was originally on his back strangely appeared in his hand.

Immediately afterwards, a thunderous sound was heard, and silver-white arcs of electricity appeared at the front end of the weapon, emitting an extremely terrifying aura.

"Just a moment please!"

"Brother Shi, please calm down!"

Almost at the same time, the beautiful woman of the Sea King Clan and Liu Shui'er cried out in surprise. Then, the Sea King Clan man heard a clear voice from his companions:
"Brother, have you forgotten the real purpose of our visit? Now is not the best time to engage in a war with others. We are shouldering an important mission."

"Just release the Nine-Eyed Holy Whale, these three people are nothing to worry about." Although the man from the Sea King clan froze and stopped his actions following the advice of his companions, his lips moved slightly and he replied in the same voice transmission, obviously not taking Shi Kun and others seriously.

"Although I have successfully persuaded the Nine-Eyed Holy Whale, it is best not to release it easily unless it is absolutely necessary. Because if it attacks frequently, it may anger it. After all, the royal blood in my body is not very strong, and I can only barely communicate with the Holy Whale."

“Also, although we are allies with the Jiaochi tribe, we have no direct conflict of interest with the Tianyun Continent.

"Therefore, it is unwise to destroy the important plans of our own tribe for the sake of other tribes." The woman from the Sea King tribe persuaded patiently.

"So that's how it is..." After hearing the words from the man from the Sea King clan, Shi Kun became conflicted.

At the same time, Liu Shui'er's clear and gentle voice rang in Shi Kun's ears:
"Brother Shi, we just escaped from the pursuit of the dark beast, and our mana has been greatly depleted. The two people of the Sea King Clan are not ordinary people. Even with the help of Brother Lin, we cannot guarantee that we can escape unscathed from them. The main purpose of our trip is to lift the ban on the ruins, so it is best to avoid unnecessary trouble."

"Even if we don't want to do it, we still need the other party's consent."

However, Shi Kun's expression became increasingly gloomy, and he snorted coldly.

"Please don't worry about this issue. I will try to communicate with the other party first. If the other party is really aggressive and insists on fighting, then the three of us and Fellow Daoist Lin will join forces, and naturally we will not be afraid of them." Liu Shuier's tone also became cold.

Then, she whispered a few words to Lin Mo.

After hearing this, Lin Mo's eyes flickered, and then he nodded slightly.

Seeing Lin Mo's reaction, Liu Shui'er felt relieved, and smiled at the opposite side, and said in a pleasant voice:

"There doesn't seem to be any direct conflict between our Thirteen Tianyun Clans and your tribe. Why do we have to fight to the death? I don't think the two Taoist friends are absolutely sure that they can defeat the three of us. If that's the case, wouldn't it be better to pretend that we don't see each other and act on our own?"

"What you said is very true, sister. My brother and I are not from the Jiaochi tribe, so there is no need for us to fight with swords right from the start. Since you said so, my brother and I will take our leave first." Hearing Liu Shui'er's words, the smile on the face of the woman from the Sea King tribe blossomed like a flower, and she responded with full approval.

Then, she gave a look to the man from the Sea King clan, and the white gas from her lower body suddenly surged, spinning and wrapping the man inside.

After a brief hesitation, the man from the Sea King clan did not show any objection.

Then the white gas under the feet of the two people connected with each other, and turned into a dazzling white light that rushed out. After only a few flashes, it flew away to a very far distance. Finally, the light gradually dissipated and disappeared at the end of sight.

Lin Mo stood there motionless, but his eyes were fixed on the direction where the other party left, and a hint of worry inadvertently revealed between his brows.

For some reason, the woman from the Sea King clan exuded two completely different auras that made him feel vaguely uneasy and made him feel deeply threatened.

Perhaps this woman has cultivated some powerful magical power, or possesses some terrifying magic weapon.

Lin Mo couldn't help but speculate in his mind, and for a moment he didn't consider factors like spiritual beasts.

After all, under normal circumstances, unless it is a sect that specializes in taming spiritual beasts and spiritual insects, ordinary spiritual beasts are often inferior to their masters in terms of magical powers and can only serve as auxiliary means in battle.

However, the three of them did not stay here for long. After a brief discussion, the three of them activated their escape lights and rushed in another direction.

…At the same time, in the ball of white light that had already flown thousands of miles away, a man and a woman from the Sea King family were talking with serious expressions.

"What? That seventh-level cultivator from the upper clan is even more dangerous than the two people before?" The man's face was full of surprise and confusion.

"That's true. This is another important reason why I tried my best to dissuade the fight. But the occasion was not appropriate, so I couldn't explain it in detail to my brother." The woman from the Sea King family gently stroked the black hair on her shoulders and answered firmly.

"What you said cannot be without basis. You may as well tell me in detail so that I can help you solve your doubts." The shocked expression on the face of the man from the Sea King family disappeared instantly, and he asked sharply.

"The Xuantian treasure that I imitated in my body just now, the Xuantian Sacred Artifact, suddenly had a strange reaction."

The woman looked serious for a moment, but finally answered honestly.

"What? The Xuantian Sacred Artifact actually reacted! Could it be that that guy also possesses the Xuantian Sacred Artifact?"

The man from the Sea King clan almost jumped up in the white light, with an expression of extreme surprise on his face.

"Perhaps so, but not necessarily. The reaction of the holy weapon in my body is abnormally strong. Compared with the situations encountered by other people in the clan who hold holy weapons, it is particularly prominent." The woman stated slowly.

"If it's not a holy weapon, then it is most likely a Xuantian treasure! This is really unbelievable, how could such a treasure appear in the hands of a cultivator who is only the seventh level of the upper clan. Haha, I'm afraid your perception is biased, sister." The man from the Sea King clan twitched his eyes slightly several times, and then suddenly laughed out loud.

As members of the royal lineage of the Sea King family, they naturally have a deep understanding of the power of the Xuantian treasure.

"Perhaps it is true that I am not proficient in controlling the holy weapon, which leads to the error in perception. After all, the elders have specially given us this Xuantian holy weapon for exploration for this operation. Even if there is only a one in a thousand possibility, if the other party really possesses the Xuantian treasure, then once my companions and I start a life-and-death battle, what will be the consequences? I believe that brother must know it in his heart." The woman from the Sea King family sighed softly.

“The gap between the Xuantian Sacred Artifact and the Xuantian Treasure is like the difference between heaven and earth. Even with the help of the Nine-Eyed Holy Whale, we have no chance of winning. It seems that we were lucky to escape just now.” The Sea Prince couldn’t help but smile bitterly and shook his head.

"This matter cannot be too absolute. There is a world of difference between possessing a Xuantian treasure and being able to control it. Generally speaking, ordinary upper-class cultivators would never be able to activate the Xuantian treasure. However, there are a few little-known secret methods in the world that can allow cultivators of this level to barely stimulate the weak power of the Xuantian treasure. However, in my personal opinion, the other party's body does not have the Xuantian treasure, but rather it is more like a top-level Xuantian holy weapon with superb imitation craftsmanship. This possibility is far higher than the Xuantian treasure. If this is true, making enemies with these people is undoubtedly an extremely unwise choice." The woman hesitated for a moment, then said so.

"That makes sense. In all likelihood, it's the latter that's the cause." After hearing this, the man from the Sea King clan nodded repeatedly in agreement.

"In any case. This group of people obviously have different goals from ours, and the possibility of meeting them again is very small. We don't need to worry too much, we just need to do our best to complete the tasks of the clan, which is enough to be considered a great success. We will definitely receive a generous reward after returning to the clan. Looking back, we are indeed extremely lucky, because several predecessors who entered the Guanghan Realm previously made great efforts, so we have the opportunity to accomplish such a great feat." The woman smiled at her brother again.

"That's quite true. No matter how dangerous this person is, he has nothing to do with us. We still need to focus on our business. By the way, speaking of those people from the Jiaochi tribe whom we met by chance some time ago, their behavior was quite mysterious, and they seemed to have some ulterior motives. The direction they were heading seemed to be roughly the same as the direction the Tianyun people fled just now. Could it really be such a coincidence that we would meet them head-on..." The man from the Sea King clan thought for a moment, then said with a strange look on his face.

"No one knows the truth about this matter. However, if we consider the vastness of Guanghan Realm, the possibility of these two races meeting by chance should not be high. However, once they really meet, they will not be able to give up as easily as we do, and will inevitably fall into a life-and-death struggle. If we were there, perhaps we could see what the treasure hidden inside that person's body is." The woman from the Sea King clan raised the corners of her mouth slightly, her eyes flashing with curiosity.

"Haha, we can't witness this in person. Let's go. We should be able to reach our destination in about a month." The man from the Sea King clan chuckled, and without waiting for the woman's response, he suddenly accelerated his escape light.

In an instant, the white light rushed forward at a speed three times faster than before.

The woman from the Sea King clan had no objection to this. A flash of spiritual light appeared around her body, and she also increased the power of the escape light.

……

Lin Mo was completely unaware of this matter. He never thought that the people from the Sea King clan whom he met by chance today would actually discover some of the secrets he had hidden.

Of course, even the woman from the Sea King clan was completely unaware that the treasure she felt at the time was actually just the broken blade of Xuantian carried by Lin Mo. As for the Xuantian fruit sealed in the arm, it was not something that the Xuantian sacred weapon in the woman's body could detect.

At this moment, he and his two other companions were already flying slowly over the grassland.

"Brother Lin meant that we should stay here for a while and train for a few days before continuing on. However, is this necessary? Although Daoist Fellow Shi and I did consume a lot of mana in the Dark Beast Forest, we only need to slightly reduce our speed and gradually absorb the power of the spirit stones on the way, and we will be able to recover on our own."

Liu Shuier said to Lin Mo with a little surprise.

"What Fairy Liu said is true. However, the danger level of Guanghan Realm seems to be far beyond our original expectations. The Dark Beast Forest alone is so difficult. The next journey will not be easy. It would be best if we can recover our mana a day in advance. What's more, the loss of the fairy is not limited to mana, but the true energy may also be lost."

Lin Mo responded with a smile, his tone full of meaning.

"Brother Lin is indeed a man of sharp vision! However, wasting time on this matter..." Liu Shui'er looked hesitant.

"Fairy Liu, what Brother Lin said is absolutely right. It is unwise to continue moving forward before our magic power has fully recovered. I, Shi, also need to recuperate for a few days. It would be better to find a safe place nearby and practice in peace for a few days." Shi Kun suddenly interrupted.

When she heard that Shi Kun had also put forward the same opinion, Liu Shuier frowned for a long time. Finally, she sighed softly, indicating that she agreed with this suggestion.

However, they were not far away from the place where the two people from the Sea King clan had parted, so they could not meditate and regulate their breathing here.

Otherwise, if the two sea king monks changed their minds or attracted other ferocious beasts or alien races, Lin Mo, Liu Shuier and Shi Kun would be in extreme danger.

Therefore, Lin Mo, Liu Shuier and Shi Kun continued to fly forward for about half a day, and finally found a light green hill in the distance, where the spiritual energy was quite rich.

Out of caution, the three of them used their divine senses to carefully scan every inch of the mountain. After repeated confirmation, the three of them were relieved.
