Mortals: The Daily Life of Hidden Moon Sect

When Lin Mo said this, the female cultivators in the Foundation Establishment Stage present were stunned for a moment, but they quickly agreed respectfully and then left the attic one after another.

Lin Mo sat in the main seat and became the core figure here.

Sure enough, not long after, under the guidance of a waiter, a beautiful woman with a face as peaceful as jade and an elegant smile stepped into the room.

The woman had a perfectly proportioned figure and was wearing a dark blue court dress, which reminded people of the graceful demeanor of the once popular "Xu Xianzi".

Her cultivation had obviously reached the level of the Spirit Transformation Stage, making her a leader in the world of cultivation.

“It really is Senior Lin! Judging from your current momentum, you must have entered the fusion stage!”

When the woman saw Lin Mo, she only took a quick glance and immediately recognized Lin Mo, the man who had once given her guidance and support, and she hurriedly bowed to him to show her respect.

Xie Linmo took good care of her because she was the descendant of the Ice Soul Fairy and often gave her some useful suggestions during her cultivation.

Therefore, when she learned that Lin Mo appeared in Tianyuan City again and was looking for her on purpose, she immediately rushed to Juxian Pavilion.

Although she was shocked by the news that Lin Mo had successfully advanced to the fusion stage, she was no less shocked than the old man surnamed Yue.

However, this news was so shocking that she was skeptical even on the way. It was not until she saw Lin Mo with her own eyes and felt the powerful aura emanating from him that she finally put aside her doubts and kowtowed to Lin Mo with joy.

"You are welcome, my friend. The fairy and I are old friends. Please sit down and talk."

Looking at the descendants of the Ice Soul Fairy in front of him, Lin Mo said with a smile.

"Then I am being disrespectful!"

Fairy Xu hesitated for a while, but finally listened to Lin Mo's words respectfully.

She sat down on the chair next to Lin Mo. At this time, a waiter brought a tea table with two cups of fragrant spiritual tea on it.

"All of you please retreat. No one may enter here without my order."

Lin Mo gave orders to the waiter.

"As ordered!"

The waiter replied respectfully and then slowly left the room.

Lin Mo then stretched out his hand towards the door and waved it gently. Suddenly, a white light flashed on the door of the attic and it slowly closed automatically.

At the same time, a layer of blue light flickered on the surrounding walls, and the attic's built-in restrictions were suddenly activated, completely covering the entire room.

Seeing this, the blue-dressed woman's heart tightened, and her face became solemn. If it weren't for the fact that what they were going to talk about was very sensitive and private, she wouldn't have acted so cautiously.

"Friend Xu, I came to you this time because I actually want to ask you something. Your ancestor is indeed the Ice Soul Fairy, right?"

Lin Mo asked seriously.

"Yes, Fairy Bingpo is indeed my ancestor. I will never lie."

Fairy Xu was stunned for a moment, but she answered without hesitation.

"Very good, in that case. Do you know the whereabouts of Senior Bingpo Fairy? I have something that I may need to visit this senior in person."

Lin Mo exhaled lightly and spoke in a calm tone.

"Ah, you want to visit the ancestors in person?"

Although the woman had made various guesses before, she was still surprised at this moment.

"Don't you know the whereabouts of your ancestor?" Lin Mo frowned.

"Although the younger generation has inherited the illustrious bloodline of their ancestors, when they were born, their ancestors had already disappeared into the long river of history for tens of thousands of years."

"According to the memories of the elders of the family, the ancestor had entered the extraordinary stage of the fusion realm and also received an important invitation from Tianyuan City. Unfortunately, however, the ancestor seemed to have more important matters to deal with, so he declined the invitation from Tianyuan City and went out to explore. He has not been heard from since."

Fairy Xu explained with a wry smile.

"I see. If that's the case, we can only accept this fact. So, besides Fellow Daoist Xu, are there any other relatives of Fairy Bingpo?"

Lin Mo thought deeply for a moment, then continued to ask.

"Forgive me for being blunt, but after so many years, the lineage of our ancestor, Fairy Bingpo, has now split into more than ten branches of varying sizes."

"Some people even created two small sects with the powerful skills left by their ancestors. However, in terms of bloodline closeness, our Xu family is undoubtedly the most orthodox heir. Our surname is directly inherited from our ancestors."

Knowing that there might be some connection between Lin Mo and Fairy Bingpo, the woman did not hold back. After thinking for a long time, she told the truth frankly.

"Then, is the current person in charge of your family you, Brother Xu?" Lin Mo suddenly asked with a smile.

"Senior, you are joking. Actually, it is not true. Although our Xu family is not the legendary True Spirit family, it is still quite famous in Tianyuan Realm. The current patriarch is my father, and there are several uncles in the family who manage the family together."

After a moment's hesitation, Fairy Xu answered decisively.

Lin Mo's eyes flickered a few times, he gently stroked his chin and smiled slightly:
"In that case, I plan to go to your family to pay a visit to your father. I wonder what Fellow Daoist Xu thinks about this?"

"If Senior is willing to visit the Xu family, it would naturally be an honor for our family. But... Senior Lin, can you reveal some relevant reasons?"

The woman was stunned for a long time, and finally asked the question hesitantly.

"Haha, Fellow Daoist Xu, don't worry. I was just entrusted by someone to hand over an item to Fellow Daoist Bingpo Fairy, or her direct bloodline descendants."

"Since your family is now the closest relative of Fairy Bingpo, this item should be handed over to the head of the Xu family for safekeeping."

Lin Mo had no intention of hiding anything and responded frankly.

"There is such a thing! Could you please tell me who entrusted you to pass on this item? Have I ever met this person?"

Obviously, Lin Mo's answer surprised the woman, and she asked in astonishment.

"Haha, I'm afraid that Fellow Daoist Xu has not had the opportunity to come into contact with this person. As for whether there is anyone else in your family who knows this person, that is not something I can know." Lin Mo shook his head and replied.

"In that case, I am willing to accompany you to return to the Xu family. I have been in charge of the outer patrol work recently and have a half-year vacation. Our Xu family is located in Tianyuan. Using the teleportation spell in the city, it is more than enough for a round trip."

When the woman heard this, the expression on her face became complicated. After thinking for a while, she finally made a firm decision.

"Haha, it would be great if Fellow Daoist Xu could accompany me personally." Lin Mo did not show any surprise, and a faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"Then I will return to the cave residence immediately to make the necessary preparations and set off with you in two days. How do you think?"

Fairy Xu seemed very straightforward. She stood up from her chair and respectfully asked Lin Mo.

"For me, Lin, there is not much to prepare. I can set off at any time. Since Fellow Daoist Xu proposed to set off in two days, then let's set it for two days later." After a little consideration, Lin Mo readily agreed.

"If senior has no objection, then I will definitely meet you in the city on time. In addition, my real name is Xu Qianyu. If you need anything in the future, you can just call me by my real name. As for seniors, I really cannot rashly call myself a fairy." Xu Qianyu bowed her head slightly and said respectfully.

"Hahaha, there's no need to be so polite, Fellow Daoist Qianyu." Lin Mo was a little surprised to hear this, but soon smiled and shook his head.

Immediately, she did not stay here any longer. Soon after, she apologized to Lin Mo and left.

Although there are only two days, the cave is not far from Tianyuan City, but it still takes a considerable amount of time to go back and forth.

Fairy Qianyu dare not waste this easily.

Lin Mo went to the residence of Confucian scholars and others again, sorted out the materials that had been purchased, and then made a detailed list and handed it to the four people.

Then he returned safely to Juxian Pavilion and never stepped out of the attic again.

Almost at the same time, in a mysterious hall in Tianyuan City, five or six monks were gathered together to discuss extremely confidential matters.

"From this point of view, this person does not seem to have any intention of joining Tianyuan City."

An old man in a white robe with silver hair and a pretty face said with a frown.

"Elder Gu, I have tried my best to persuade him. However, Fellow Daoist Lin is an ascetic who is devoted to the pursuit of the great way and has no interest in joining other forces."

Another old monk in a golden robe responded with a sigh.

It was the Zen Master Jin Yue!

Regardless of whether it was the old man in white robe or the other people present, they all had extraordinary bearings and were obviously powerful people in the fusion stage with a status comparable to Zen Master Jin Yue.

These people are undoubtedly the elders of Tianyuan City's Elder Council.

"If that's the case, wouldn't the strength of our city be greatly weakened, and the Council of Elders will never be able to gather ten members?"

“Before the alien war, our Council of Elders not only had a full complement of members, but also had Fellow Daoist Yin Guang, a little-known candidate elder.”

"The current situation in Tianyuan City is worrying. If the true demonic disaster really comes, the demons will choose this city as the main attack location when choosing their targets. The consequences will be disastrous. Such situations have indeed happened in the past."

A burly man with pale golden skin and wearing a black leather robe said coldly.

"There is no solution to this. Whether it is the Overlord, the Saint Emperor, or even the seven demon kings of the demon race, they will not allow their fusion-stage masters to join Tianyuan City."

"As we all know, the invasion of the demon world is imminent, and it may happen in the next thousand years. They are also accumulating strength and trying to protect themselves."

"After all, during the last outbreak of the demonic calamity, although it only lasted for a hundred years, the previous generation of the Three Emperors and the Seven Demon Kings lost almost half of their lives. They certainly don't want to repeat the same mistake."

Zen Master Jin Yue answered helplessly.

"Fellow Daoist Jin Yue, are you sure that the Demon Realm will overlap with the Spirit Realm again within a thousand years?"

Another woman with black hair and a silver mask suddenly asked, but her voice was unusually sweet.

“Since Saint Island and Lord Mo said so, it must be correct. In this case, the Three Emperors, Seven Demon Kings and other larger forces have also received this news, and are therefore no longer willing to add new forces to our Tianyuan City Elders Council.” The old man in white asked thoughtfully while stroking his beard and closing his eyes.

"This is indeed true. During this demonic calamity, the Yakshas and other alien races of the Wood Clan were all in the disaster-stricken areas. They could only choose to protect themselves with all their strength and would never attack our two major races."

"In this case, they naturally don't want to weaken their own strength for no reason so as to better defend themselves. After all, the restrictions possessed by our two major races are not very effective against the invasion of the demon world."

"The original intention of establishing the Three Emperors and Seven Lands was to resist the demonic disaster that occurs once every tens of thousands of years. In fact, since the last alien siege, not only has our city failed to absorb any elders in the fusion stage, but even the guards at the level of refining emptiness and becoming a god have not been effectively replenished. Today's human resources all depend on our Elder Council to send specialists to search and recruit them everywhere." The masked woman explained in a flat tone.

"We in Tianyuan City have already suffered heavy losses in the previous alien siege. If we don't have enough personnel to replenish our city, then in the upcoming demonic calamity, we can only do our best to protect ourselves, and we can't send a large number of troops to actively attack the demons like we did in the last demonic calamity."

A young woman whose hair was burning like purple flames suddenly said with a frown.

"This is something we can't help. The horror of each demonic disaster is undoubtedly a huge disaster for us cultivators."

"Fortunately, these demons don't seem to be interested in ordinary humans without spiritual power. They only focus on plundering the resources of the spiritual world and killing us cultivators, and rarely carry out large-scale massacres of ordinary mortals and beasts."

"Otherwise, we would have suffered a demonic catastrophe every tens of thousands of years, and our human and demon races would have long since disappeared from the spirit world."

The old man in white robe said solemnly.

"However, this situation is not because the demons are merciful."

"I'm afraid they intentionally left ordinary humans behind, treating them like cattle and sheep, in order to allow these lives to continue to reproduce and become the source of future cultivators like us, so that when the next demonic calamity comes, they can slaughter them again."

"After all, for those of us who have achieved success in cultivation, whether it is the demon elixir or the soul and infant, it is an excellent nourishment for the demons."

Zen Master Jin Yue spoke slowly, with a cold light flashing in his eyes.

"In addition, there are some resources that our two tribes must not give up easily. Otherwise, as long as we hold on to one place and wait for the moment when the demon world breaks away from the spirit world, we may still be able to keep most of our vitality."

The purple-haired young woman said with a hint of helplessness.

"Since other forces have their own plans for this demonic calamity, we in Tianyuan City cannot force them to assist us. We can only ensure our own safety first."

"Starting today, lift the ban on the previously shielded subsidiary cities of this city, and migrate nearby ordinary humans to these cities on a large scale." (End of this chapter)
