Mortals: The Daily Life of Hidden Moon Sect

Chapter 729

"Since I am currently practicing an extremely secret technique, and the realm breakthrough period is crucial, I cannot leave the isolated space. I have specially ordered this puppet to attend this event on my behalf, as I cannot go in person."

"Fortunately, this clone of mine is somewhat famous among fellow Taoists, and most of the people present have heard of it, so it was successfully settled here."

This noble woman has a free and elegant manner, and her every move exudes an extraordinary aura.

After seeing the strange monster with a strong physique and imposing aura, even the courageous Qi Lingzi's face suddenly changed, and his pale lips revealed a hint of fear.

However, as the eldest son of the Hai family, he was concentrating on pointing his index finger into the distance, and then conducting rigorous and detailed measurements of his physical and mental data.

Seeing this scene, Qi Lingzi couldn't help but ask with interest:

"Excuse me, young master, what operation are you performing at this moment?"

Master Hai thought for a moment and then replied:
"Actually, there's nothing special about it. I just wanted to compare and see whether my body is bigger or the monster's fangs are sharper."

Young Master Hai's remarks left Qi Lingzi with no way to refute, and at the same time made him feel shocked and in awe.

Lin Mo naturally also heard what Master Hai said, and his facial muscles couldn't help but tremble slightly.

What an interesting character!
Looking from a distance, the giant turtle creature let out a deafening roar towards the sky, and its limbs and head sank deep into the ground again.

The black mountains transformed by this huge monster instantly became as stable as Mount Tai.

At this moment, the practitioners in the black castle on the Black Mountain began to become active.

Many thunder and lightning guards flying in the air landed towards the castle one after another.

At the same time, the black-armored soldiers lined up in an orderly manner and leaped into the air from the top of the mountain.

Each of them took out a piece of transformation equipment and then began to work intensively and orderly around the Black Mountains.

In just a few seconds, layer after layer of magic circles were constructed on the "Black Mountains".

Then, a layer of black smoke spread out, completely covering the castle on the top of the mountain.

After these black armored soldiers completed all their tasks, they quickly rushed into the black fog and disappeared without a trace.

The world in the black fog suddenly became silent, forming a sharp contrast with the previous noise.

At this moment, a dragon roar was heard from another mountain range, and a dazzling golden light rushed over, reaching above the black smoke in a few flashes.

The light gradually dissipated, revealing a golden dragon with a silver horn on its head, which was more than ten feet long.

And on the back of the dragon, there was a man in a white robe standing with a smile on his face.

This person is none other than the Holy Emperor Tianyuan.

"Fellow Daoist Xuanwu, it's been a long time since we last met. Would you allow me to meet Tianyuan?"

"Humph, so it's you, old fellow. If you want to meet me, just come in directly."

“Although you are not a genius, how can such an insignificant illusion array stop the steps of your Lord Saint Emperor?”

Another cold voice came from the black fog, seeming to be disrespectful to the Holy Emperor Tianyuan.

"Haha, in that case, then I am sorry to be disrespectful!"

Tianyuan Saint Emperor smiled slightly, not caring about the other party's rude words.

He lightly stepped on the golden dragon under his feet, and it immediately turned into a golden ball of light, merged into the black mist, and disappeared without a trace.

The world in the black fog returned to peace again.

Some other nearby practitioners in the fusion stage who were disturbed by the arrival of the Black Tortoise Overlord naturally understood that there would be no more excitement to watch, so they all returned to their respective residences.

Lin Mo had the same idea. He immediately bowed to Liu Qing and prepared to say goodbye. However, at this moment, the woman suddenly smiled:
"Friend Lin, if you don't mind, would you be willing to stay at my residence for a while?"

"I have an old acquaintance of yours who is very eager to meet you."

"Old acquaintance!" A hint of surprise flashed across Lin Mo's face.

"Indeed. She is actually the daughter of an old friend of mine. We met by chance on the road this time, so I brought her into Yingxian Palace together. As for who she is, you will know once you get there, Fellow Daoist Lin."

The young woman answered with a frank smile.

"Since Fairy Liu said so, I am also quite curious. I'm sorry to bother you for a moment." Lin Mo had a lot of thoughts in his mind, but he said calmly on the surface.

"It is so kind of you to honor me, Mr. Lin. It is just a coincidence that I live on the floor above Mr. Lin. There is nothing exciting to see here now, so let's go back together."

Liu Qing said with a slight smile, and there was no sign at all that she was actually a puppet.

No wonder she is hailed as the second most outstanding representative of human puppetry. Putting aside other things, her unique and exquisite puppet-making skills alone are enough to impress people.

Now, the highly respected Tianmiao Linghuang has passed away, and the title of the leader in the field of puppetry has naturally fallen on the head of Fairy Liu.

"Very good! The two of you should hold the forbidden tokens and return to your residence first."

Lin Mo nodded slightly, and suddenly threw a silver token to Young Master Hai and Qi Lingzi, and ordered in a serious tone.

After Young Master Hai and Qi Lingzi received the token, they naturally followed the instructions respectfully.

Lin Mo no longer paid attention to their subsequent actions. He followed the young woman's steps and rushed towards the Yingxian Palace below.

A moment later, Lin Mo saw a girl in a white robe, about sixteen or seventeen years old, in a emerald green hall on the sixth floor of Yingxian Palace.

The girl has a pretty face and her eyes reveal a unique charm.

"Fellow Daoist Ye!"

When Lin Mo first met the girl, he blurted out her name in surprise.

"Ye Ying greets Senior Lin. I never expected that after we parted ways in the Wood Clan, Senior has become a high-level cultivator in the Fusion Stage."

The girl in white robe faced Lin Mo with a complicated expression on her face and bowed gently.

"Lin did not expect to meet Fairy Ye Ying again here."

Lin Mo smiled and waved his sleeves, releasing an invisible force that stopped the other party from kneeling.

At the same time, he carefully examined the other party again and passed his mind over it.

The former Ye family girl really lived up to the reputation of the Phoenix bloodline, and her cultivation progress was so rapid that it far exceeded that of ordinary cultivators. Now, she has successfully broken through the bottleneck of refining the void and has the cultivation level of the early stage of refining the void.

However, the drop of Heavenly Phoenix blood that Lin Mo obtained from her that year undoubtedly made him respect her a little.

"My mother and Aunt Liu are close friends, so I was able to ask her to take me into this place."

Ye Ying smiled gently and explained a few words.

"Ying'er, there's no need to be so polite. Back then, your mother and I were as close as brothers. I am very happy to meet the son of an old friend again. These little things are not worth mentioning."

Liu Qing, who was standing by, chuckled:
After hearing this, Ye Ying naturally thanked him again and again.

"However, Fairy Ye invited Fellow Daoist Liu to invite me here, I'm afraid it's not just because she wants to meet Lin!" After pondering for a moment, Lin Mo suddenly put away his smile and said seriously.

"Since Senior has asked this, it is inconvenient for me to hide anything."

Ye Ying was stunned at first, then answered slightly embarrassedly.

"Since Ying'er has something important to discuss with Fellow Daoist Lin, I will not disturb you any more. You can talk freely."

Liu Qing on the side seemed quite tactful and said so with a smile.

"Wait a minute! Aunt Liu, this matter is actually closely related to you, so you don't need to avoid it."

The girl seemed a little anxious and quickly tried to keep Liu Qing.

"In fact, the second significant incident is closely connected to the first and there is a significant link between the two."

"Perhaps Elder Lin does not have a deep understanding of this, but Ms. Liu should have heard of this news a long time ago."

"The specific content is that in the next thousand years, we spiritual beings will have to face an unprecedented storm - the coming of the demonic calamity."

A trace of deep worry flashed across the girl's slightly opened eyes.

Lin Mo was extremely shocked and cried out as he accidentally made a move.

This reaction is actually not difficult to understand, after all, there are other practitioners who have already reached the fusion stage, especially those powerful ones who have been in this realm for more than a thousand years.

They always have access to relevant information collected through various channels.

However, he had only returned to the human race for a few years and had not yet truly established deep friendships with practitioners of the same level, so he still had no idea about matters related to the demonic calamity.

After all, all the information about the demonic calamity is currently only spread among practitioners in the fusion stage.

For ordinary practitioners, this is still a highly confidential topic, so as to avoid causing unrest between the two races before the ancient demon arrives.

By consulting some historical documents of the human race, Lin Mo also gained a certain understanding of the relevant circumstances of the Demonic Tribulation.

But he never expected that this catastrophe, which was originally estimated to take a long time to befall the two races, would actually break out within a thousand years.

Is his fate really so tragic? First, he encountered an alien attack in Tianyuan City that was rare in a thousand years, and then he encountered this great disaster between the two races.

However, at this moment he finally understood why, when he had just been promoted to the fusion stage, various major forces had extended olive branches to him, and the conditions offered were more generous than the last.

If he hadn't hated being bound, the sincerity of two or three of them would have made him somewhat tempted.

"Since Fairy Ye mentioned the Demonic Tribulation, what is the connection between the Spiritual Emperor position and the outbreak of the Demonic Tribulation?"

Lin Mo took a deep breath and asked with flickering eyes.

"Oh, there is such a thing. In that case, I am really looking forward to you telling me what happened, Ying'er."

Liu Qing looked back in surprise, then stopped and waited for Ye Ying to explain.

Lin Mo, the young man sitting next to him, fixed his gaze on the beautiful woman, and a barely perceptible smile quietly appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"As you can see, my visit to pay respect to the two respected elders was actually based on a combination of two obvious factors."

"One of these factors may not have much impact on Uncle Lin, but it is of critical importance to Aunt Liu."

The young blond woman frowned slightly, then spoke in a low voice with great caution.

"Does this have anything to do with me?"

Liu Qing, a stunning beauty dressed in gorgeous brocade clothes, frowned slightly, her eyes flickering.

"That's true. According to widely circulated news, since the death of the previous Spiritual Emperor, Aunt Liu immediately closed the door and stopped receiving guests, devoting herself to cultivation."

“To date, it remains unknown whether her body has recovered from her isolation.”

"Therefore, I would like to ask, has Aunt Liu decided to fight for the vacant Spiritual Emperor position?"

Ye Ying looked directly at Liu Qing and asked in a calm tone.

When Liu Qing heard this question, her expression changed slightly. After a moment of silence, she nodded slightly.

"Indeed. Excuse my presumptuous guess, I have completely mastered the puppet secrets of the former Spiritual Emperor, and have successfully refined several powerful puppets."

“If I can make another breakthrough in my next closed-door training, then even if I face a strong man at the perfect stage of the fusion stage, I can fight without fear.”

"Of course, deep down, I always remain vigilant and prepare for a rainy day."

Although her voice was not loud, it revealed her unwavering belief.

"I didn't expect Aunt Liu to have such a firm determination. However, my mother specifically asked Ying'er to convey a piece of advice to Aunt Liu."

"Don't fight for the Spiritual Emperor's throne a hundred years from now. If you are lucky enough to obtain it, it may bring endless disasters."

The girl said this with a serious look.

"There is such a thing. Although I know that your wife is good at divination and prediction and has extraordinary wisdom, how can she make accurate predictions about things that have not happened yet?"

"In other words, has your lady obtained some special sources of information?" Liu Qing quickly deduced a possibility based on the girl's brief words.

"Aunt Liu is really smart. Before Ying'er even finished speaking, Aunt Liu had already guessed the general idea."

"Uncle Lin, I hope you can keep what Ying'er is going to say next a secret for the time being and not tell anyone else." After a brief pause, the girl suddenly turned to Lin Mo and made a solemn request.

Seeing how seriously the little girl took the matter, Lin Mo immediately realized that what she was talking about must be extraordinary. He nodded without hesitation and promised:
"Please rest assured, no matter what I hear next, I will keep it strictly confidential and will never let others know easily."

Although Lin Mo did not have a direct say in the matter, Ye Ying was obviously satisfied at this moment, so she began to elaborate on the whole incident in detail.
