Mortals: The Daily Life of Hidden Moon Sect

Chapter 737

"This is absolutely true and reliable. Fellow Daoist Lin should have heard that the grand event known as the 'Dark Area Grand Gathering' has been confirmed to be held in the next three days."

"After learning this information, I specially obtained a traction order for Fellow Daoist Lin."

"At that time, Fellow Daoist Lin will be able to directly participate in the various activities of this grand event with just this order, without having to seek admission through any other means."

Master Wangu gave a speech with a smile on his face, and then took something out from his wide sleeves.

Then he shook his wrist lightly and immediately threw the item in his hand towards Lin Mo.

Lin Mo took it steadily in his hand calmly and watched for a while.

It turned out to be a triangular token with a dark surface. It had only some simple patterns and decorations but no logos. It looked extremely ordinary.

If you don't know its nature, it's hard to believe that this is an important token.

"So this is the traction order!"

There was a gleam of doubt in Lin Mo's eyes.

"Fellow Daoist Lin, you can use this token without any worries. In the previous gathering in the dark area, the token used was even just a wooden stick-shaped ornament."

“Although we don’t know why the organizers did this, these items are indeed the only credentials to the dark area. Fellow Daoist Lin must keep them properly and not lose them.”

Master Wan Gu warned solemnly.

"I see. The extraordinary significance of this event is indeed beyond comparison. I, Lin, would like to express my deep gratitude to you, Master, for your generosity in giving me this order."

Lin Mo was quite surprised and immediately expressed his gratitude to the Taoist priest.

"Haha, it's just a piece of cake, not worth mentioning!"

"To be honest, among the many Taoist friends of the same level, I may not be special in other aspects, but I am quite experienced in obtaining various gossips."

"I wonder if Fellow Daoist Lin has heard anything about this, but within the next thousand years, we humans and the demon race may face a huge disaster."

"And none of us can escape this catastrophe."

When Master Wan Gu said this, his expression suddenly turned serious.

"Disaster! Could it be that the real person is referring to the devil's calamity?"

Lin Mo's expression changed slightly, and after pondering for a moment, he slowly responded.

"Fellow Daoist Lin does know something about this matter. I wonder how much relevant information Fellow Daoist Lin has mastered?"

Master Wan Gu did not show too much surprise.

After a series of exchanges before the Wanbao Conference, there are probably very few cultivators in the fusion stage today who are completely unaware of the news of the demonic calamity.

Otherwise, at this auction, there wouldn’t be so many cultivators willing to spend all their fortunes to compete for the treasure called “The Picture of the Sky-holding War Boat”.

Their purpose is not just to satisfy their personal desire for collection, but to be prepared in advance to deal with the coming catastrophe.

"Although I don't have a complete understanding, I also understand that this time the devil's calamity will be extremely severe and it will not be easy to overcome."

Lin Mo's mouth twitched slightly, and he sighed helplessly.

"It seems that Fellow Daoist Lin does have some little-known secrets. In this case, I will not beat around the bush."

"After the big gathering in the dark area is over, would you be willing to follow me to a place where independent cultivators gather?"

"Let's discuss with other fellow practitioners how to safely survive this demonic calamity?"

This time, Master Wan Gu showed a hint of surprise and frankly stated his true intentions.

"Separate cultivators? Are they all cultivators among us humans?"

When Lin Mo heard this, his expression did not change significantly, but after thinking for a moment, he suddenly raised a question.

"There are very few independent cultivators in the Fusion Stage among us humans, so there is not much value in discussing this."

"To tell you the truth, Fellow Daoist Lin, most of the fellow Daoists we are going to meet this time are friends from the demon race."

Master Wan Gu was stunned at first, then explained.

"Master, there is no need to explain too much. I have no prejudice against the demon race. I just want to first understand the relevant matters and progress of this gathering."

"Since there are people from the demon race present, this trip seems to be quite valuable. After the Black Domain Exchange Conference is over, I will follow Brother Dao to participate in it."

What is hard to guess is that Lin Mo agreed to this request without even thinking about it.

"Brother Dao, this is indeed a wise decision!"

The old Taoist couldn't help but express his surprise and excitement that the invitation went as planned.

Afterwards, it was obvious that the two monks could not stay suspended in the air and talk for a long time, so after a brief greeting, Master Wan Gu left first and set out on his journey home.

I saw the gray clouds under his feet rolling continuously, and instantly turned into a gray light rushing away.

In a flash, the old Taoist disappeared without a trace.

Lin Mo stared at the direction where the old Taoist disappeared, his eyes flickering.

"Master, should we set off for home?"

Seeing that Lin Mo had not moved for a long time, Qi Lingzi could not help but remind him.

"Qi Lingzi, Yuetian, don't follow me back to my residence for now. Please help me find a female demon." Lin Mo ordered without turning his head.

"Yes, Master!"

Although Qi Lingzi and Hai Dashao were a little surprised, they answered in unison without hesitation.

"This is a token. Please listen carefully to how to contact her..."

Lin Mo spread out his palm and threw half of the jade token into the air. At the same time, he moved his lips slightly to convey the following words to them through telepathy.

The two disciples naturally listened attentively and agreed repeatedly.

"Okay, that's all. If you find the demon woman, come back and report to me as soon as possible."

After Lin Mo finished his last sentence, he waved his sleeves, and a part of the green light floating around him immediately wrapped up Young Master Hai and Qi Lingzi, and slowly landed on the ground.

Lin Mo himself once again turned into a stream of green light and rushed towards the direction of his residence.

When Lin Mo returned to Yingxian Palace, he did not go directly into the secret room to practice, but chose to sit on the main seat in the hall.

He took out the Weeping Spirit Bloodwood he had just bought, and played with it gently in his hands, with a thoughtful look on his face. The reputation of the Huajie puppet in the human world is extremely loud, but because of this, the method of refining this kind of puppet is not an exclusive secret technique, and it is sold in many markets.

When he was collecting various classics many years ago, he happened to remember the method of refining such treasures, and now it comes in handy!
The only problem that is a headache is that this kind of catastrophe puppet not only requires a large amount of essence and blood during the refining process.

Moreover, even after the finished product is completed, it still needs to be maintained by the investment of essence and blood at regular intervals, otherwise it will lose its function of transforming disasters.

Of course, this little bit of trouble and loss of essence and blood is undoubtedly insignificant compared to the disaster-replacing effect of the disaster-transforming puppet itself.

Lin Mo, who had already made up his mind to start refining this puppet in the near future, was silently thinking about the other auxiliary materials needed in his mind.

After some thought, a hint of joy appeared on his face.

It turned out that he had already collected all the other materials needed to create the puppet.

It was precisely because he had collected a large number of materials of various types before that he was so lucky to get together everything he needed.

After Lin Mo confirmed that he would take time out to refine the Tribulation Puppet in the near future, a flash of light appeared in his hand and the blood wood disappeared.

In the following time, he sat upright in the chair with his eyes closed, and began to carefully plan every step of refining the Tribulation Puppet to prevent any mistakes in the actual operation.

In the end, this sitting lasted a whole day and night.

The next morning, Young Master Hai finally returned to the palace from the outside world. However, when he saw Lin Mo, he shouted in panic:
"Master, something terrible has happened. Junior Brother Qi Lingzi has met with misfortune!"

"No need to be overly anxious! Please tell me in detail what happened." Lin Mo opened his eyes, showing a hint of surprise, and asked calmly.

Although humans and demons from all races gathered together at the Wanbao Conference, it was rare for something big to happen in such a public place.

Facing Lin Mo's calmness, Young Master Hai gradually calmed down and replied respectfully:
"Master, I and my junior brother have already found the demon elder you are looking for. However, on the way back, when we passed a secluded place, we accidentally met a woman."

"The woman only cast her eyes on my junior brother, and suddenly used her miraculous wind power to snatch him away in an instant."

He thought Lin Mo would be shocked, but Lin Mo's reaction was unexpectedly calm.

"What does the woman look like? Does she have any special features?"

Lin Mo was indeed surprised at this moment. With a cold light flashing in his eyes, he asked seriously.

"The woman was tall and thin, with extremely thick hair. She was an elderly woman."

"By the way, there is a huge blue mole in the middle of her forehead, and she exudes a sinister aura that is creepy."

"In addition, the woman gave me a heavy blow before leaving, causing me to faint on the spot."

"Fortunately, I was later rescued by other practitioners who passed by here, so I was able to come here in time to seek help from Master."

Young Master Hai described it angrily.

"She also slapped you? Come closer and let me take a look." When Lin Mo heard this, he had an idea and motioned Young Master Hai to come forward.

"Yes, sir!" Young Master Hai's heart tightened, but he took a few steps forward without hesitation.

"It's true! This person is extremely cruel!" After Lin Mo's spiritual sense went deep into Young Master Hai's body to investigate, anger suddenly appeared on his face.

Then, he raised his arm and tightly grasped one of Hai Dashao's arms. Green light flashed at his fingertips and continuously injected into Hai Dashao's body.

Not long after, a thin black thread was tightly surrounded by a ball of green light and was forcibly pulled out of Young Master Hai's body.

The moment the black line separated from Young Master Hai's body, it twisted wildly in the green light and turned out to be an unknown strange insect.

When Young Master Hai saw this scene, his face turned pale with shock and anger.

"What on earth is this? Could it be the murder that woman did to me?"

"Humph, who else could it be besides her? This insect is called the Heartworm, and it is a very rare demon insect."

"When it is just hatched, the diameter of this insect is as big as a chopstick, but if it is caught and practiced by a practitioner who is good at repelling insects."

"It will gradually become thinner until it is difficult to detect with the naked eye, and then it will reach the state of great perfection."

"Used to attack the enemy, invisible and colorless, making it hard to defend against."

"Once this insect enters the human body, it will surely penetrate the host's hot heart at noon, killing the person in an instant."

“Afterwards, it was difficult to find out the cause of death.”

"Although this Heart-Attached Silk has not yet been cultivated to perfection, its owner has spent at least hundreds of years of hard work on it. It is too extravagant to use it on a mid-level body cultivator like this!"

Lin Mo snorted coldly and explained in detail to Young Master Hai.

"What exactly does this woman want to do? If she wants to kill me, why doesn't she just kill me instead of doing these things?"

Young Master Hai looked at the black silkworms in the green light, his face suddenly changed, he swallowed hard several times, but still couldn't help asking questions.

"Did you say anything when she was about to attack you?"

After a moment of silence, Lin Mo suddenly asked this question without any clue.

"What did you say... Oh, I seem to have shouted, 'We live in Yingxian Palace!' Could it be that it was because of this sentence that she didn't dare to attack easily?"

Young Master Hai blinked and asked back with a puzzled look on his face.

"Perhaps! However, since she cannot confirm the truth of your words, she will use the 'heart-attached thread' implanted in your body to test it."

"If the evil insect has not been eliminated or a solution has been found by noon, you will surely die."

"If you are indeed related to the combined monk, you will not be able to escape this disaster. Once expelled, you will arouse her vigilance."

"As for why we didn't choose to take action immediately, it was mainly because we were worried about attracting the attention of the law enforcement officers of the Wanbao Convention."

"These law enforcement officers are not just for show. Although they will not help in private disputes, they will definitely stand up if someone commits violence in public."

Lin Mo stared at the black thread in the green light and explained calmly.

After hearing Lin Mo's explanation, Young Master Hai finally understood the truth of the matter.

At this moment, the black silk in the green light twitched, and after the shining black light rotated, it suddenly broke free from the restraints and rushed into the distance.

Lin Mo's mouth twitched slightly, and he grabbed with both hands. A powerful force suddenly enveloped the black silk. The black silk bounced back like a shuttle, and was controlled by him in an instant.

Then, Lin Mo ignited a ball of silver flame with an expressionless face, and the heart-attached silk in his hand instantly turned into ashes. Although the demon insect was quite powerful, it had no power to resist such a burning flame.

Almost at the same moment when the black silk fragments dissipated, on a small hill not far from Jiuxian Mountain.

An old woman with gray hair and pitch-black fingers suddenly woke up from her meditation and spat out a mouthful of blood, obviously having been seriously injured.
