Mortals: The Daily Life of Hidden Moon Sect

"At the same time, send a group of monks who are good at earth-attributed skills to build more empty cities. What we can do now is limited to protecting the ordinary humans living in the nearby area from being invaded by the demons."

The old man in white robe tapped the armrests of the chair a few times and said with a firm look in his eyes.

"The day of the demonic rebellion has not yet arrived, but it is a prudent policy to take precautions early. Although we have the magic array restrictions as a support, it is still best to recruit as many high-level guards as possible."

"Because the most difficult part of this disaster is the first few waves of fierce attacks. As long as we can withstand them, the demons will retreat and the battle between us and them will become a stalemate."

"Brother Bao, to be honest, no one from our race has successfully advanced to the Fusion Stage in the past few hundred years."

"On the other hand, from what I've heard, someone from the Noble Demon Clan seems to be trying to break through the bottleneck of the Fusion Stage, so at this time, I hope you will pay more attention to this matter."

The old man in white robe turned to look at the burly man with a light golden complexion and suddenly spoke.

"Leave it to me. Among our demon race, there are indeed several royal families that are emerging. Among them, there are several rising stars with extraordinary talents, and there is hope that they can advance to the fusion stage again."

The golden-faced man nodded and responded in a deep voice.

"Regarding my fellow demons, Fellow Daoist Yin Guang, I have a question. Is it appropriate to ask it?"

The old man in white robe hesitated for a moment, then turned to the masked woman and asked.

"Brother Gu and I have known each other for a long time. Is there any question that I cannot ask?"

The masked woman felt a little confused.

"Since the fairy said so, I will ask directly. May I ask how is the current physical condition of the noble Senior Ao Xiao?" The old man in white robe looked at the woman and asked slowly.

"So Brother Gu is worried about the situation of our ancestor Ao Xiao. However, I am not the only demon elder here. Why did you choose to ask me?"

The masked woman was stunned at first, then her eyes stayed on the black-robed man for a moment and she replied with a smile.

“Why does Fairy Yin Guang have to pretend to be confused! Although the fairy is not from the Silver Moon Wolf Clan, she has the blood of the Silver Moon Wolf Clan flowing in her veins. She even trained under Senior Ao Xiao for a thousand years.”

"If we talk about who is most familiar with Senior Ao Xiao's recent situation, it must be you, fellow Taoist." The big man in black robe raised his eyebrows and said lightly.

"Fellow Daoist Yan is right. Excuse me for being blunt, but since Senior Ao Xiao showed up at Giant Cloud Mountain over 3,000 years ago, there has been no news from him since then."

"Now that the demonic calamity is about to come, Senior Ao Xiao, as two great Mahayana masters of our human and demon races, we naturally cannot help but have some worries." The old man in white robe asked solemnly.

After hearing the old man's words, the others turned their eyes to the masked woman, and it was obvious that they were also very concerned about this matter.

A hint of hesitation flashed across the masked woman's eyes. After a while, she answered helplessly.

"I understand your concerns. Indeed, whether it is us or the demon race, since we built our homes in the spirit world, there are probably only a handful of people who can survive more than twenty great heavenly tribulations."

“Many fellow Taoists are deeply worried about the twenty-first great heavenly tribulation that our ancestor experienced a few years ago.”

"After all, it is precisely because of the existence of our ancestors and Senior Mo that our human race and the demon race have been able to maintain a relatively stable situation over the past few years."

"Fellow Daoists, rest assured. Ancestor Ao Xiao did not unfortunately perish in the last great calamity. It's just that he consumed some of his energy in this calamity, so he had to temporarily withdraw from the world to practice and improve his cultivation."

"Is it really so?" The big man in black robe immediately revealed an ecstatic expression.

As an elder of the demon clan, he naturally cares more about the demon clan's Mahayana ancestor than the white-robed old man and others.

The old man in white robe, the old monk and others also breathed a sigh of relief.

"Hundreds of years ago, I met Fairy Linglong who has been accompanying the old ancestor all these years. According to her, the old ancestor's recovery is quite ideal. I believe it won't be long before he can fully recover his strength and come out of seclusion."

The masked woman said firmly.

"Could Fairy Linglong be the concubine of the Tiankui Wolf who returned from the lower world?"

"According to rumors, this fellow Daoist Linglong is not only the direct descendant of Senior Ao Xiao, but is also deeply loved by the Wolf King?"

Although the purple-haired young woman was a human cultivator, she seemed to know something about this matter and asked in surprise.

"Indeed, it is this fellow Daoist Linglong. I remember that when she returned from the lower realm, her cultivation had only reached the late stage of the Spiritualization Realm. However, when we last met, she had already reached the peak of the middle stage of the Void Refining Realm and was about to enter the late stage. Perhaps before the demonic disaster comes, she will have a chance to break through again."

“After all, her talent is well-known among the Silver Moon Wolf Clan. If she had not been forcibly trapped in the lower realm for hundreds of years, she would have become one of us long ago.” The masked woman said with some regret.

“Even though he is gifted, he was able to advance to this level in one fell swoop after practicing with Senior Ao Xiao for hundreds of years. This shows how powerful Senior Ao Xiao is.”

"However, since she is the Wolf King's favorite concubine, why does Senior Ao Xiao want to keep Fellow Daoist Linglong by his side? Could it be that Senior Ao Xiao did it on purpose and has some other ulterior motive?" The purple-haired young woman was quite curious about this matter and continued to ask.

"I don't know much about this matter. I just vaguely heard from people in the clan that after Fairy Linglong escaped from the lower world, she seemed to have some conflicts with Fellow Daoist Tiankui."

"It was Senior Ao Xiao who took Fellow Daoist Linglong away. Perhaps Fairy Linglong was quite dissatisfied that she was trapped in the lower world for such a long time while the Wolf King ignored her."

The masked woman hesitated for a moment and answered in a speculative tone.

"Since Senior Ao Xiao is fine, there is no need for us to speculate too much about the other Taoists' situations. Next, we should discuss the upcoming arrival of the envoys from the Yaksha and Wood tribes."

"These two major races must have sent messengers here to deal with the coming of the demonic disaster."

The old man in white robe suddenly changed the subject and mentioned another important matter.

When everyone present heard this, their expressions became solemn and they immediately listened attentively.

In this way, time passed silently.

The elders of Tianyuan City argued here for a full half day before leaving.

Two days later, in Tianyuan City, a teleportation array leading to a certain place suddenly flashed with light, and two figures flashed in the center of the array.

At the same time, a buzzing sound suddenly rang out in a hall in another large city far away from Tianyuan City.

A carefully protected teleportation array, with dazzling white light.

Several armored soldiers holding long spears who were stationed nearby and chatting were suddenly shocked and turned their heads to look over there.

Although this teleportation array is highly valued by the top leaders in the city, it is not only well maintained but also tightly guarded on a daily basis.

However, due to its high transmission cost, only a few people can actually use it. You may not encounter it a few times a year.

However, the people who activate this teleportation array every time cannot be those low- or middle-level cultivators.

Therefore, when these Jindan-stage cultivators saw two figures appear in the center of the formation, they immediately straightened their bodies and showed due respect.

"Is this Maple Forest City?"

A young man who was teleported out took a quick glance and asked one of the soldiers calmly.

"Reporting to the senior, this place is Maple Forest City. Welcome to our city!"

The soldier who was asked responded respectfully.

The two strangers were dressed in gorgeous clothes and had frosty masks on their faces. They were obviously from some noble family. They had already used their extremely sharp spiritual sense to investigate the two people in front of them.

But no matter how hard they tried, they could not see through the mysterious level of cultivation of the two men, so they did not dare to look down on them in the slightest.

"So you are from Maple Forest City. That's good."

The young man smiled slightly, then ignored the soldiers and went with another beautiful woman whose skin was as white as jade.

He calmly walked out of the mysterious magic circle and went straight out of the gate.

There is no doubt that these two mysterious figures are Lin Mo and Xu Xianzi who were teleported here from the distant Tianyuan City through a teleportation array.

Although the Xu family is not located in Fenglin City, this is the closest city to the Xu family that can be teleported.

After passing many checkpoints, Lin Mo and Xu Xianzi finally successfully walked out of the teleportation hall.

However, what appeared before their eyes was a huge bluestone square.

The square is very simple and plain. Apart from the huge blue tiles, there are no other eye-catching decorations.

However, there were some buildings similar to attics and palaces around the square. Apart from a few patrolling teams nearby, no other monks were seen here.

Lin Mo released his spiritual sense again to explore further away, and his expression changed slightly.

This square was actually built on the hillside of a mountain that was over a thousand feet high. At the foot of the mountain were densely packed houses and neatly arranged streets.

Lin Mo turned his head and looked towards the top of the mountain, where stood a small palace. Its exterior was extraordinarily gorgeous, and several auras faintly emanated from inside, all of which had the strength of the Void Refinement Stage.

It seems that these people are the senior monks in charge of managing this city.

Lin Mo's eyes flickered and he quickly withdrew his consciousness.

Then, he waved his sleeves expressionlessly, and a green light emerged from his body, enveloping him and the woman next to him. In an instant, it turned into an astonishing ray of light and disappeared into the sky.

In a side hall of the palace on the top of the mountain, three cultivators in the Nascent Soul stage were sitting around a long table filled with spiritual fruits, fine wine and delicacies, chatting and laughing.

However, not long after, they looked at each other with surprise in their eyes.

"What on earth happened? The power of the divine consciousness just now was too strong. Could it be that a senior in the fusion stage suddenly descended on our city?"

An old man in a black robe whispered to himself.

"Based on the strength of the divine consciousness, it is very likely that a senior in the Fusion Stage has been teleported to our city. However, I wonder if it is one of the adults around the Holy Emperor or an elder of Tianyuan City?"

Another middle-aged man in white armor also said with some doubt.

"As far as I know, several adults around the Holy Emperor have been busy with an important matter in Tianyuan Holy City. They should not come to our city. So, it should be an elder from Tianyuan City, right?"

The last monk, a young man with a golden headband on his head, spoke in a very affirmative tone.

"Oh, if he is the elder of Tianyuan City, then he should just be passing through our city. Seeing how anxious he is, there is no need for us to go and visit him specially."

The old man in the black robe let out a long sigh, and the tension on his face eased a little.

"However, Fenglin City is indeed a relatively remote place in the entire Tianyuan Realm. Why did this elder from Tianyuan City come here?"

The middle-aged man in white armor still seemed a little worried.

"Haha, these beings in the Fusion Stage are inherently erratic in their whereabouts. As long as he is not targeting us, why should we interfere too much?"

"I hope this elder can get away from our city as soon as possible."

The young man said with a gloomy look.

"Having said that, we still want to remind the people below to be vigilant during this period to avoid causing us unnecessary trouble."

The old man in the black robe seemed extremely cautious. After thinking for a while, he spoke seriously.

"Brother's words are obviously full of truth. Even if those high-ranking and powerful people who are not from the Holy City of Faith have some restrictions on us, as a cultivator in the Fusion Stage, it is the wisest attitude to always remain cautious."

Upon hearing this, the middle-aged man named Baijia nodded repeatedly in agreement.

During the conversation between the three people, there was an air of mystery in their voices that was difficult to conceal, as if they were carrying out some ulterior motive.

At the same time, Lin Mo was completely unaware of this. Under the guidance of Xu Qianyu, he flew into the sky, left Fenglin City, and rushed towards the south.

According to the woman, although this place is the closest gathering place for monks to the Xu family, it still takes more than a month to reach the Xu family's actual residence.

Therefore, in a short period of time, Lin Mo released a flying car, and the two of them rode on it together, letting it fly freely in the sky.

Obviously, this place was extremely remote. After they left Maple Forest City hundreds of thousands of miles away, they could hardly see any ordinary humans on the ground.

Even if one or two small towns can be seen occasionally, the residents there are mortals and monks coexisting.

However, over the next dozen days, the ground was gradually covered by layer upon layer of hills, and except for the occasional traces of wild beasts in some canyons, there were no signs of other living creatures.

What is even more surprising is that although these hills have not completely lost their spiritual energy, the concentration of spiritual energy is significantly lower than that of other areas. (End of this chapter)
