"Master, madam, someone sent an invitation outside." In the early morning, not long after I got up, the maid's voice suddenly came from outside the room.
"Xiaoqing, let it in." Mrs. Liu replied sweetly, and while adjusting her husband's robe, she asked curiously, "Who would send an invitation so early?"
Mo Juren was also a little confused. He had been away from home for five years, and his interpersonal relationships in Jiayuan City had long been severed. Who would suddenly send him an invitation? Could it be that other gangs got word of his return and planned to make some friends?
The door opened and Xiao Qing stepped in respectfully, holding a strange invitation in her hands. The cover of the invitation was actually black, with many complicated patterns outlined in gold pen.
"Hey, this is..." After taking it, before opening it, Mo Juren's expression changed instantly, and he quickly asked, "Where is the person who sent the invitation? Is he still there?"
"I heard from the concierge that the visitor left immediately after sending the invitation. It has been nearly half an hour now." Seeing the change in the master's expression, Xiao Qing was immediately frightened and replied timidly.
"Husband, what's wrong?" Ms. Liu also noticed something was wrong and stepped forward to ask.
"It's okay, I just didn't expect that there would be someone with the same ideals in Jiayuan City, and he also sent me an invitation." Mo Juren calmed down and reassured the other person with a smile. A faint white light emerged from his hands, and then he slowly opened the invitation.
"Since it has been opened, you are my comrade. Come to the five-color gate as soon as possible within a day. We will not wait if it is late." A simple sentence, but there was an undisguised threat and no doubt in it.
Mo Juren folded the invitations, but sneered in his heart.
In just a blink of an eye, he had roughly guessed the identity of the other party. After all, he was a disciple of Spirit Beast Mountain, and his behavior was really domineering. Was he mistaking him for a low-level monk?
However, since the invitation was sent in advance, the temptation should not be too obvious. I still have some concerns after thinking about it. However, this scruple should not be much. From what I heard, if I didn't take the initiative to rush to the Five Color Gate within one day, I'm afraid there would be subsequent retaliation.
Going to Wusemen for an appointment?
He killed this thought the moment it arose. He was not the other person's dog, so let it go. Furthermore, if it was the other party's plan to lure the tiger away from the mountain, then if he foolishly left, Mo Mansion would really become a lamb and be slaughtered by him.
This is not impossible. Compared with ordinary people, immortal cultivators are more insidious. All their actions are done for profit. They can achieve the ultimate goal at the lowest cost, so why not?
Thinking of this, he stopped delaying, gave a few instructions to Mrs. Liu beside him, and then left the room.
The Mo Mansion is very large, with a front yard, a hall, an inner chamber, etc., and a total of more than dozens of rooms. In addition to these, there is also a back garden at the back, which is also quite large.
At this moment, Mo Juren was standing in the garden, looking around constantly, frowning and nodding from time to time, as if thinking about something.
When I suddenly received such an invitation, I didn't worry that it was fake.
But that's all.
He is no longer the casual cultivator he was during his Qi training period five years ago. Not to mention his low strength, he has no backers at all. Therefore, even though the Jingjiao Society had greatly increased in strength, they still chose to keep a low profile and were cautious in every step they took, for fear of causing trouble to the Mo Mansion.
Now five years later, everything is different. In addition to the fact that his realm has reached the foundation building stage, his combat power is not afraid even in the middle stage of foundation building, giving him the confidence to deal with invading enemies. Furthermore, he was from Lingfu Pavilion, and behind him stood Mr. Han, an elder in the pill formation stage, so he was naturally confident.
Of course, no matter how much analysis is done, it is just analysis, and there is no guarantee that there will be unexpected situations. After all, Spirit Beast Mountain is not monolithic. There are many factions in it, and intrigues between them are commonplace. What if the other party happens to be an enemy of Han Lao's family, or maybe the other party has a brain convulsion. Don't talk about the overall situation, as long as the benefits are sufficient, anything can happen.
In short, out of caution, we must prepare for the worst, and some necessary preparations must be made in advance.
Immediately something moved in his heart, and a half-foot-square brocade box appeared in his hand. This is a set of small defensive phantom formations, the 'Small Three Yuan Sumeru Formation' that I bought during a large purchase at Wanbao Pavilion that day. Including the complete array flag and array plate, after being deployed, a solid aura cage will be formed within a certain range, which has a strong effect of trapping enemies. Its defensive capabilities are also good and can theoretically withstand the continuous attacks of monks in the middle stage of foundation building.
At that time, he only bought a large number of blank formation flags and formation disks, and had no intention of buying ready-made formations. But before leaving, he suddenly changed his mind. If he didn't need it, he could leave it at home. It would also be a powerful layer of protection for Mo Mansion.
It was originally just a precaution, but I didn't expect it to actually come in handy today.
He lightly touched the surface of the brocade box with his palm, and the lid of the box opened, revealing a palm-sized round array plate and several array flags. In addition, there are also relevant introductions to the array layout, all stored in a small jade slip.
The so-called three elements can be divided into big, medium and small. The big one is heaven, earth and people, the middle one is sun, moon and stars, and the small one is essence, energy and spirit. They are all the essence of everything in heaven and earth. The Small Three-Yuan Sumeru Formation is modeled after the legendary Three-Yuan Infinite Formation. The basis of its formation has been changed from the three-yuan universe, heaven, earth and people to the three-yuan spirit, energy and spirit of human beings, and its power has naturally dropped a few points. magnitude. However, among the small formations in the world of immortality, it is relatively well-known.
After receiving the formation method in the jade slip, I studied it carefully for a while, and then started to operate according to the requirements.
After a lot of work, when the last formation flag was planted, the entire formation was completed. Take out several middle-grade spiritual stones and put them into the groove in the center of the array plate in sequence. The formation was activated instantly, and immediately, a very strong spiritual power wave emerged, spreading to most of the Mo Mansion.
He released his spiritual consciousness to measure the area covered by the formation, and couldn't help but nod slightly. Although the radiation range only covers half of the courtyard, it covers the most important inner houses, which is barely enough.
Returning to the inner house again, I saw many ladies coming hand in hand, with unconcealable concern on their faces.
Seeing this, Mo Juren glanced at Mr. Liu inadvertently, and the latter immediately showed an aggrieved look. How could a secret be hidden in this inner house, especially when it came to her husband? When the sisters asked, she could only tell the truth.
Mo Juren thought for a moment, and since everyone already knew it, he would not hide it anymore. Maybe it would be better to remind him, so as not to be in danger due to ignorance.
However, he did not go into too much detail. He only told everyone that there might be a strong enemy coming, so he set up a protective formation in the garden. As long as you don't go out during this period and stay within the range of the formation, you will be safe.
…
Five-color gate, separate courtyard.
At this moment, the old man in black robes had disheveled hair and messy clothes. He was raising a glass and drinking while admiring the beautiful dance of the girls in front of him, looking a little intoxicated.
But at this moment, a figure hurriedly walked in and whispered a few words in the old man's ear.
"Bang..."
As if he had heard some bad news, the old man in black robe suddenly had a look of laziness on his face and crushed the wine glass in his hand to pieces.
"Okay, very good. You turned a deaf ear to what I said. You really want to die."
Because it is not sure whether the other party has passed the Immortal Ascension Conference and become a member of the Seven Sects. Therefore, I sent out an invitation in advance to test him. Unexpectedly, the invitation was sent, but the other party ignored him.
Such a result made his heart boil with murderous intent. He originally planned to let you go for the sake of the suspected seven sect comrades, but he didn't expect that he was so ungrateful.
Anyway, since I give you face but don’t want it, don’t blame me for being rude.
