"By the way, Senior Tianxing. I was in the valley to the east and saw the traces of several battles with the same spirit beast, so I followed you all the way to this basin. But I seemed to only I saw the footprints of three people, but I didn't expect that there was a team of nearly ten people accompanying them. I wonder why?" Tian Jihong turned to Mo Tianxing and asked. Although I could roughly guess the answer, my original intention was to use this question to trick people into trying to get more information about the Mo family and the others.
"Oh? So that's where you discovered my whereabouts. No wonder you followed me all the way." Mo Tianxing changed into a smiling expression in the blink of an eye. Tianjihong always felt that this seemingly moody old man Guy, in fact, the city is quite deep, and it seems that he has already seen through his origins. At the moment, I don't know if Mo Tianxing is aware of the temptation in his words.
"If you don't mention this, I almost forgot about it. I also mentioned before that on this trip we were supposed to find a tamed natal spiritual beast for Xiaojuan. Her level of cultivation is too high. The spirit beasts are still out of control, so my group and I originally wanted to look for wind spirit beasts with cultivation levels between the Bone Forging Realm and the Spiritual Vein Realm. Unfortunately, we searched all the way from the seaside, but were unable to find a suitable target."
"Of course, in addition to this, this trip is also to give the group of family children behind me a long experience, so that they can accompany them to the Dongyun Mountains for some experience. It's just that except for Xiaojuan and the other two maids of the Beast God Sect, In addition, the other disciples from the outer sects of the family are generally of low strength and can easily be affected when fighting powerful spiritual beasts, resulting in unnecessary losses."
"So after I noticed the whereabouts of spiritual beasts in the valley on the east side yesterday, I took Xiaojuan and one of the maids to search the mountains alone. At the same time, I ordered others to follow the existing caravan path. Meet us at the resting point in the basin ahead. This is why you only saw the footprints of three people." Mo Tianxing explained in a self-conscious manner.
Tianjihong nodded and said: "That's it, but there's one thing I don't understand. I just saw it from a distance at the Zidian Eagle's Nest, and it seemed that there was a big battle here; like the escaping Fire Yunluan below I had seen it in the mountains a few days ago, and there was also the sound of another savage beast. I wonder if it was Senior Tianxing who subdued them just now? Why was there only bloodstains after the battle here, but no traces of that savage beast? Trace?"
"Oh, you ask this." Mo Tianxing continued to explain, "This is actually nothing. I did take action to solve the problem of Huoyunluan and Qingmaohuan before. These two beasts originally had a conflict here. , on the way to the confrontation, but I didn’t expect to happen to be bumped into here after I and a group of people reunited.”
"Originally, I didn't intend to argue with these two spiritual beasts, but these two blind guys took the initiative to attack us. Naturally, I won't be polite. It's okay for Huo Yunluan, it seems. I don’t have much hatred for human beings, and I took the initiative to run away after realizing that something was wrong. I only shot and wounded it and did not pursue it.”
"But I didn't hold back on the stubborn old man Qingmaojiu. If this guy's wind-attributed spiritual power wasn't already beyond the standard, he would actually be a target for my group to capture. In the end, I was there After its spiritual power is exhausted, use the unique rune method of the Beast God Sect to subdue it."
"As for why you didn't see his figure, it's very simple. Our Divine Beast Sect has special means to bring captured spirit beasts back to the sect for domestication. I have a space treasure on hand that is used to carry living creatures. This can be The green-haired animal is stored in it for easy carrying. Here, this is the bag containing the green-haired animal. You can take it and take a look."
After speaking, Mo Tianxing took off a cloth bag from his waist and threw it to Tian Jihong who was standing aside. The latter was suddenly startled. What was imprisoned in this bag was a terrifying spiritual beast that could rival Huo Yunluan. Seeing how Mo Tianxing casually gave such a valuable treasure to him for inspection, if he accidentally opened the bag without catching it properly, the consequences would be disastrous.
"Haha, you don't have to be so cautious. I dare to hand over this treasure to you for inspection with confidence. Naturally, I am fully confident. Although this [Xumi Bag] can only be regarded as an imitation treasure, it is used by the sect. The expert transformed it into a sealed space for living creatures to survive. In terms of quality, it is enough to reach the level of a middle-grade treasure. Moreover, the mouth of the bag has already been sealed with many seals. It is impossible for a young monk like you to open it. This bag." Mo Tianxing explained with a smile.
Tianjihong breathed a sigh of relief and couldn't help but marvel at the methods of the Beast God Sect. In his opinion, it goes without saying that Mo Tianxing, as an elder of a force, has a strength that he cannot match. However, judging from Tianjihong's feelings, Mo Tianxing's sense of oppression on him is not stronger than that of Huo Yunluan yesterday. Even considering that his aura has been restrained, Mo Tianxing's true strength may not be Too much more than the latter.
But now it seems that Mo Tianxing was able to defeat Huo Yunluan and Qing Maojuan so easily at the same time, mostly because the methods of the Divine Beast Sect were too restrained for the spirit beasts. No matter from the ability to control spiritual beasts that Mo Juan had just displayed, or from the runes and treasures specifically targeting spiritual beasts at this time, it can be seen that the methods practiced by the members of the Beast God Sect were simply born specifically for spiritual beasts. Although Mo Tianxing didn't mention it, Tianjihong could also guess that most of the spirit beasts in the cave before had fallen into the hands of this group of people and been captured alive by the Sumeru bag.
"So that's what happened. Thank you, Senior Tianxing, for clearing up my doubts." Tian Jihong observed the Xumi bag in his hand for a long time but couldn't find any clues, so he had to return it to Mo Tianxing. The space in the bag was obviously much larger than he expected, and he could not detect the movement of any spiritual beast inside.
Immediately afterwards, Tian Jihong recalled the latter's words and quickly asked the question he was most concerned about: "Senior Tianxing mentioned just now that you seem to have arrived in this area from the seaside. Does this mean that you arrived in this area from the coast on the east side of the valley? At this place, can we use the sea route to cross the mountains to the east and return to Dongsheng Town?"
"Well, I'm afraid this won't work." Mo Tianxing shook his head, "It is true that our group arrived at the east coast by boat as you said, but we boarded the boat at the east seaport through the relationship between Shigu Sect. . After they dropped us off along the way, they continued to drive north towards Dongyuncheng. Now even if you turn back and head to the coast, you won't be able to find any transportation back to Dongsheng Town."
"But don't be anxious, little brother. I think you might as well follow my group. I am somewhat familiar with this Dongyun Mountain. After my group's goal is achieved, they will naturally find a safe way to return. Dongsheng Town. Little brother Hong, you are half of the same family as me. You can take care of us when we are walking together on this journey. When we come out of the mountain, please come and get together in a humble house next to me. Your temper is very suitable for me. I still want to have an in-depth chat with you." Mo Tianxing extended an olive branch at this time and began to retain Tianji Honglai.
At this time, Tian Jihong finally understood that the reason why the other party was so polite to him and even talked to him; apart from satisfying Mo Tianxing with his performance, the reason why he was so polite to him was probably because he wanted to recruit him. mean. Tianjihong naturally understood that with his current strength and identity, how could the other party, a dignified elder of the Beast God Sect, say that he wanted to make friends with him? The other party probably took a fancy to his potential and therefore tried his best to retain him and go with him.
This can't help but make Tianjihong feel a little embarrassed. As the saying goes, don't hit someone with a smiling face. Regarding his impression of these people, except for the annoying Mo Lu, Tianjihong was actually quite willing to continue walking with Mo Tianxing and others who showed goodwill. But of course he knew in his heart that this was impossible. Not to mention that he already had a master. Even if he changed his name and joined the Mo family, he would inevitably have to deal with people from the Shiyu Sect like Mo Lu in the future. He was Reluctantly.
What's more, it is not yet time for Tian Jihong's life story to be made public. He has just compiled a set of rhetoric with Mo Tianxing. Once his true identity is found out, people's attitude towards him may change. Now he must not be openly exposed in front of a master like Mo Tianxing. With his keen insight and experienced experience, it would be difficult for him to hide anything in front of him.
"Thanks to Senior Tianxing's misplaced love, I have been away from home for too long now. I am afraid that my parents at home have been anxious because of my delay in returning. I apologize that I cannot continue to walk with Senior. However, although I, Mo Hong, am still weak, I am definitely not a person who refuses to repay his kindness; when I succeed in my studies in the future, I will definitely go to Dongsheng Mo’s house as a guest to repay today’s life-saving grace!” Tianjihong had no choice but to decline Mo Tianxing’s proposal and found a An excuse to leave.
As expected, the smile on Mo Tianxing's face dimmed slightly. It is not difficult to understand. Now that a great master like himself personally recruits a young monk who has just entered the practice, but he is still rejected, he is really embarrassed. Fortunately, Tian Jihong felt fortunate that the other party did not blame or immediately turn his back, nor did he continue to force him to stay. Mo Tianxing raised his hand to stop the other disciples beside him who were about to reprimand him, and said first:
"It doesn't matter, let's all step back. Since little brother Hong has other things to do, we can't force him to stay. It's good that little brother can remember today's kindness. I might as well be a good person and do it to the end, and point out the conditions for you. Just the way out of the mountain."
