Mortals: The Daily Life of Hidden Moon Sect

Chapter 718

"Please don't worry. I'm just worried about my daughter's safety. As long as she is safe, a blood ginseng is nothing."

The middle-aged monk replied with a relaxed look on his face.

"No, father, Guo'er doesn't want to leave alone!"

The girl was fair and delicate, like a fairy in a painting. At this moment, she tightly grasped the corner of the middle-aged monk's clothes, shaking her head and shouting.

"Silly child. Only when you leave here can you go to the market to find your grandma. Then when you come back, you can rescue your father."

The middle-aged monk's face changed, his lips moved slightly several times, and he quickly conveyed a few words to the girl.

The girl was stunned at first, and then nodded desperately to show that she understood.

"Okay, hurry up and leave. If you delay any longer, Shi will change his mind."

Shi Lun seemed to be getting a little impatient and urged viciously.

When the girl heard this, she was shocked. Although she was young and ignorant, she immediately understood the seriousness of the matter.

She looked back at the middle-aged monk reluctantly again, then waved her hand lightly, and a white talisman appeared in her hand instantly.

It quickly stuck to his body, and a layer of white light suddenly appeared on the surface of his body. He flew away into the distance, preparing to escape the scene.

The two mid-stage monks tightly grasped the brocade box in their hands and stared closely at their beloved daughter's behavior, afraid of missing any details.

When they found that the three black practitioners remained unshakable and the girl Guoer successfully dodged away from Shi Kun, their tension finally eased.

However, at this moment, something unexpected happened!
When the girl flew about two or three feet away from Shi Lun, a fierce light flashed in Shi Lun's eyes. He swung his arm violently, and turned into a black shadow and grabbed backwards.

The girl screamed "Ah" in fear and was grabbed by the black shadow without any resistance.

Immediately afterwards, the black shadow pulled, and the girl's body flew back like an arrow and fell steadily into Shi Lun's hands.

A shiny black hand tightly grasped the girl's delicate neck.

"Shi Lun, what on earth do you want to do! Aren't you afraid that I will destroy this blood ginseng immediately?"

The middle-aged monk was shocked and angry when he saw this situation. His hands were shining with spiritual light and he tried to suppress the brocade box in his hands while shouting loudly.

"Destroy? Aren't you afraid that I will break this little girl's neck? Stop talking nonsense and throw the box over here. I will count to three. If you don't act, I will do it! One, two."

Shi Lun completely ignored the middle-aged monk's threat and instead clenched his fingers.

The girl's face turned red, and the countdown began coldly and ruthlessly, not giving the middle-aged monk any time to react.

When the other two black practitioners saw this situation, they all showed smug smiles on their faces.

They now understood that their companions had no intention of letting the girl go from the beginning, but planned to use her as a hostage to threaten the other party in turn.

Although the middle-aged monk was extremely intelligent, facing such a situation, he could only tremble with anger all over and his mind was in a mess.

When Shi Lun was about to shout the third time, he almost subconsciously threw the brocade box in his hand out in a hurry.

A black cultivator walked up triumphantly and reached out to grab it.

With a "whoosh" sound, the brocade box was sucked over in an instant.

"Check and confirm whether it is really the blood ginseng inside!"

Shi Lun ordered without hesitation.

"No problem, Brother Shi!"

The cultivator holding the brocade box answered respectfully, then moved his hand slightly and the brocade box was easily opened.

There was blood all over the brocade box, and a ginseng about one foot long, emitting blood, was lying quietly in the box.

"Brother Shi, that's right, it is definitely a blood ginseng!"

The practitioner's eyes lit up as he excitedly reported to Shi Lun. Upon hearing the news, Shi Lun and another practitioner all showed expressions of ecstasy.

"So, now that you have obtained the blood ginseng, should you let this little girl go?"

The middle-aged monk's face was extremely pale. He gritted his teeth and made the request coldly.

"Humph, I'll let you go. Then you'll go find your 'Fairy Yue Hua' to take revenge on us?"

After listening to this, Shi Lun sneered, his eyes full of malice.

"Since you all know Bai's mother-in-law, how dare you attack her again?" When the middle-aged monk heard this, his heart sank completely.

"Hahaha, do you think we haven't checked your background?"

"If not for this, why would the three of us take such a risk? Although we don't want to be an enemy of a Jindan stage cultivator, the blood ginseng on you is too tempting."

"As long as we have this blood ginseng, the hope of the three of us forming a pill is right in front of us. Why should we be afraid of a fairy Yue Hua?"

"Besides, even if you and your daughter died here, who would know that it was us who did it? Well, I don't have time to waste words with you, let's get started!"

Shi Lun said these words with a wild laugh, then he gave an order, and the palm of his hand that was pinching the girl flashed with a black light, and he took the lead in launching the attack.

A hint of anxiety flashed across the brows of the middle-aged monk. He shouted in a low voice and then waved his wide sleeves.

A small sword flashing with a faint yellow light quietly appeared in his palm, containing powerful power, and suddenly flew towards Shi Lun.

However, such a swift attack was obviously unable to save the girl's life.

A cruel smile appeared on Shi Lun's lips. He clenched his five fingers, ready to break the girl's fragile neck in an instant.

However, at this critical moment, a jaw-dropping scene occurred.

Shi Lun suddenly felt strange fluctuations in the surrounding environment.

Then, the girl's neck, which he had been tightly holding, suddenly became extremely cold. The severe pain from his fingertips made him unable to hold back a shrill wail, and then he turned his head and looked at his own hands in horror.

He found that the girl in his hand had disappeared, and was replaced by a dark iron puppet.

The puppet was not rough, but was covered with blue spikes about an inch long. His palm, which was tightly grasping the puppet's neck, was cut by these spikes, and blood was pouring out.

The monk named Shi Lun showed amazing courage and strength. With a flick of his wrist, he dropped the iron golem heavily onto the ground nearby, and roared angrily:
"Who is it that attacked me secretly? Show up and fight me!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly turned his palm over, and a stack of black flags appeared in his hand. The middle-aged monk looked confused and bewildered.

At this time, the other two black-robed monks finally realized what was going on and took out their weapons - a pair of silver short spears and a strange black shield covered with barbs. At the same time, they released powerful spiritual senses and explored the surroundings.

"Master, I really can't bear to watch this any longer. It seems this battle is inevitable."

A cold and ruthless voice suddenly came from behind a nearby big tree.

After hearing these words, Shi Lun and others' faces suddenly changed, and they looked in that direction vigilantly.

"Hmph, you don't need to say more. This is what I, Young Master Hai, hate the most. It's fine to just rob property, but they actually attacked innocent women and children. I will make them pay a heavy price."

"It's just that the two of us don't seem to be able to defeat these three opponents."

Another angry male voice sounded from behind the tree, with a hint of worry in his tone.

“Hahaha, why be afraid! Brother Lin is still here! Three against three, even if we can’t win, there will be no danger!”

The first voice suddenly changed from grim to joyful.

Shi Lun, Luo Tou and Han Shan all had downcast expressions and their eyes were as sharp as torches, staring straight at the big tree in front of them.

However, what was unexpected was that just behind the big tree, a faint green light suddenly flashed, and then three unidentified practitioners appeared.

One of them was a handsome middle-aged man dressed in golden Confucian clothes, about thirty years old; the other was a Taoist priest who looked like a teenager, with a black wooden sword on his back, about seventeen or eighteen years old.

The most eye-catching thing was the young man in a green robe with an ordinary face. Although he was gentle and harmless, his left hand was tightly holding a piece of silver talisman paper.

His right hand was tightly grasping a thin girl, who was undoubtedly Bai Guoer.

There is no doubt that the three people in front of him are Lin Mo, Young Master Hai and Qi Lingzi.

The three of them had come a long way and just happened to arrive here at this moment.

The trip was about to reach Jiuxian Mountain, and as they had been traveling a lot recently, they planned to rest for a whole night in this remote place and then go to nearby shops the next day to look for the items they needed.

However, what they never expected was that just as they were preparing to rest, Shi Lun and a group of bandits followed them and openly staged a brutal act of robbery and murder in front of them.

Although such incidents are common in the spirit world and traditional values ​​have completely disappeared, Shi Lun's behavior is too despicable. Not only did he violate the agreement, but he also used an underage girl as a bargaining chip to threaten others.

This situation made it impossible for Master Hai and Qi Lingzi to sit idly by. Out of a sense of justice, they stood up and launched a tacit rescue operation.

Of course, this also stems from their firm belief that Brother Lin is extremely powerful and will be able to handle the situation with ease and will never put themselves in danger of their lives.

When his two companions stood up in indignation, Lin Mo sighed helplessly and also chose to join the battle.

"May I ask your name, sir? Why do you intervene in the feud between the three of us, regardless of the danger?"

When Shi Lun saw that there were only two cultivators in the Foundation Establishment Stage, and the other one was just an ordinary person with no cultivation at all.

His tension eased slightly, and he regained his cold and ruthless expression again, threatening.

"Qi Lingzi, your 'Peach Zombie Plum Substitute Talisman' is indeed magical. It can actually directly replace the girl's body with a puppet."

"But don't forget that the last time we encountered a crisis, you, the master of the temple, never seemed to show the power of this talisman. Could it be that at this critical moment of life and death, you still want to keep it in reserve?"

Young Master Hai rolled his eyes at Qi Lingzi, obviously settling old scores.

"Humph! What are you talking about? How can my 'Peach Zombie Plum Talisman' be so easy to refine and control?"

"In order to refine this talisman, I almost used up all my wealth and barely succeeded. Unfortunately, I found that my mana was insufficient and I couldn't drive it at all."

"If we hadn't handed this talisman to Brother Lin, we would have had a hard time saving the little girl."

Qi Lingzi looked aggrieved and seemed about to cry as he defended himself.

“There is such a thing!”

When Young Master Hai heard this, he was slightly stunned, with a hint of surprise in his eyes.

He and Qi Lingzi were chatting back and forth, seemingly completely forgetting about Shi Lun who was burning with anger next to them, which made Shi Lun's face even more embarrassed, as if it turned as blue as ashes.

The other two black-robed monks standing nearby also had fierce looks in their eyes and looked aggressive.

However, at this moment, Lin Mo gently waved his arm and effortlessly placed Bai Guoer's tender body on the ground beside him, with an elusive smile appearing at the corner of his mouth.

Bai Guoer had just struggled back from the brink of life and death and had not yet fully recovered. She just stared blankly at Lin Mo and the others, appearing at a loss.

"Go ahead and kill these three daring guys!"

Shi Lun's face darkened, and he finally couldn't help but issue an order full of murderous intent.

With his rich experience, although the number of opponents increased to three, he believed that the one he really needed to be wary of was only the silent young man in the late foundation building stage.

In addition, the other two members of their team, one is a cultivator in the early stage of foundation building, and the other is an ordinary secular person.

In addition to the middle-aged male cultivator who had appeared before, there was only one more cultivator in the middle stage of foundation building in their team.

However, these three people are all masters who have reached the great perfection in the late stage of foundation building. Judging from their cultivation level alone, they are enough to easily suppress their opponents.

Not to mention that he was able to make his two companions feel fearful with his own strength. Obviously, he possessed some extremely powerful killer moves, and even posed a great threat to cultivators in the Jindan stage.

Therefore, he was full of confidence in defeating the enemies before him.

The only problem that bothered him was that if he tried to wipe out all of them, it might not be easy to achieve.

Because if the other party really wants to escape, it will be difficult for him to keep everyone behind.

This is also the reason why he did not take immediate action at first, but instead chose to use words to calm Lin Mo and others.

However, this was not the first time that Shi Lun had engaged in such robbery and murder.

When he realized that he couldn't convince others, he immediately gave up any illusions, became murderous, and decided to take action.

According to his idea, even if one or two people really managed to escape, they could immediately leave Jiuxian Mountain and hide for a while.

He believed that true high-level monks would not go out of their way to hunt them down for such a trivial matter.

So, when he said the word "take action", the stack of black flags in his hand immediately turned into a dozen black rays of light and shot forward.
