As night falls, rest area.
At this time, in a cave dwelling, Mo Juren was sitting upright, holding up his wine glass and changing glasses with Yu Xing. In the area below, other monks in the Qi Refining Stage were also talking, laughing, eating and drinking, and the atmosphere was extremely lively.
"The harvest of the spiritual mine has been good in the past six months. This time Brother Mo escorts the spiritual stone back to the clan, I think there will be a large reward. I would like to congratulate you in advance." After saying this, Yu Xing had already raised his glass and drank. All.
"It's mainly due to good luck that I discovered a new mineral vein with rich reserves. Not only Mo, but Brother Yu and all the Taoist friends will also benefit from this. It's just that, brother, you didn't receive the escort mission from the noble sect. The reward Maybe a little less.”
"Forget it, I would rather earn less than take risks." At this point, Yu Xing's eyes suddenly became meaningful, and he continued,
"Brother Mo, you have brought such a large amount of spiritual stones back to the sect this time, so you should be careful on the way."
"That's how it should be." As if he didn't notice the strangeness in the other person's expression, Mo Juren replied calmly. While speaking, he raised his glass again in his hand,
"Thank you for reminding me, brother. Mo will give you another drink."
"Brother Mo's demeanor as stable as a mountain really makes me admire him. Please..."
"..."
While chatting with each other, one glass after another of spiritual wine filled their stomachs. Even those who are cultivating immortals can't help but feel a little drunk without using magic power to refine them.
Until the banquet was over and everyone parted, everyone's face was red and they walked lightly.
Mo Juren was no exception, his eyes were also blurred, and he staggered back to his room. However, the moment he closed the door, his expression suddenly condensed, and the blush on his face disappeared, and he didn't look at all drunk.
The next morning.
Mo Juren did not waste any time, and tied all the bulging high-end storage bags he had received around his waist, and then made an ordinary-looking leaf-shaped magic weapon fly into the sky. After a while, he Disappear at the end of the sky.
"Brother Mo is really thrifty. You don't need a few spiritual stones, so why don't you change to a better flying magic weapon?" Looking back, Yu Xing murmured.
"What, you regret it?" Suddenly, another unfamiliar voice suddenly sounded from the side, causing Yu Xing's expression to darken.
"I don't understand what you are saying. This is a very important place for spiritual mines. I hope you will leave quickly."
"You were so clean. Why didn't you tell me when you were receiving the benefits?" The voice sneered again and said,
"I don't care about anything else. However, the information about the seven sects coming to escort the spirit stones this time must be provided to Yan in time. Otherwise, don't blame me for not remembering our past kindness."
"You...are you going to attack everyone! How can you do that? You will definitely be discovered." As if he thought of something, Yu Xing's face suddenly changed and he asked.
"Am I that stupid?" The voice was a little angry, but he still explained,
"The purpose of asking for everyone's intelligence is to select suitable targets, one or two at most, so that they will not be noticed."
"You..." Yu Xing sighed and then said,
"Forget it, I just want to remind you for the sake of our friendship over the years. I don't bother to care about the rest. However, you'd better pay attention to this guy named Mo. Somehow, I always feel that he is not simple."
"Isn't it simple? He's just a poor guy who's still using Spirit Beast Mountain's standard flying magic weapon?"
"In case he is hiding his clumsiness on purpose, I have already warned him. It's up to you whether you want to or not." After saying that, Yu Xing didn't bother to pay attention to the other party, and turned around and left towards the mining area.
"This old guy, it's true that the older he gets, the less courageous he becomes." Although he said this, he couldn't help but shudder in his heart, and there was a hint of inquiry in his eyes looking in a certain direction.
…
In mid-air, Mo Juren, who was flying the leaf-shaped magic weapon, suddenly glanced in the direction behind him, with a hint of sarcasm in his eyes.
He patted the spirit beast bag directly, and immediately, Xiao Jin's huge figure emerged. Without hesitation, he quickly flew down to the opponent's back, patted him lightly and said:
"Speed up a bit so that no one disturbs your mood."
"Gu..." Xiao Jin screamed softly, flapped his wings suddenly, and turned into a golden light and flew away through the air, disappearing in the blink of an eye.
About a quarter of an hour later, two more escaping lights came flying towards them. Without any hesitation, they determined a certain direction and immediately gave chase. However, what left the two of them speechless was that after chasing for a whole day and night, they didn't even see a single hair.
"Didn't the intelligence say that the other party sent a low-level magic weapon on his way? Why haven't we caught up with him yet?" One of them asked with some confusion.
"Could it be that the other party was cautious and went in a different direction?" another person replied.
"This...isn't possible? The distance between Linzhou and Lanzhou is not close. How long will it take to change direction?" After a pause, he continued,
"Keep chasing for a while. If you still haven't caught me, let's give up. Anyway, there are enough targets, and there is no shortage of him."
Another day passed, and the two finally stopped. Looking at the empty sky in front of me, I felt extremely helpless. Obviously, I still had not gained anything.
"Actually, it doesn't matter if you can't catch him. Didn't I say it above? This person is not simple, and he may be hiding his clumsiness. Wouldn't it be bad if he was a tough guy? We brothers should be more cautious and preserve ourselves." Suddenly, another person suddenly He spoke.
"This..." The former opened his mouth, but in the end he did not say anything to refute. After all, it is a task assigned by the family, and the reward for completing it is not much, but if it is hurt, it is really hurt, and it will be too late to regret it by then.
"You still have to chase, so do your best."
That was true, but the two of them obviously lost their previous thoughts. After flying slowly and leisurely for less than half a day, they turned around and left quickly in the direction they came from.
…
Naturally, Mo Juren didn't know what the two people behind him were thinking. Now he just wanted to return to Lanzhou as soon as possible. Delivering the sect's mission was just a matter of course. Meeting Xin Ruyin as soon as possible was the most important thing. How could he have time to tangle with strangers? ?
Furthermore, although we don't know who the other party is, the act of daring to intercept and kill the disciples of the seven sects is enough to prove that he cannot be an ordinary cultivator, and must come from a certain force.
Now is a critical period. What I need most is to keep a low profile and avoid conflict with others. Whether I win or lose is not what I want. If this attracts the attention of interested people, it will be a bigger trouble.
Tianhua Building, Lingshoushanfang City.
Mo Juren, who had delivered the task and received a spiritual stone reward, rushed back here immediately.
Ignoring the salutes of the staff passing by, I walked straight upstairs to the fifth floor.
In a certain room at this time, Xin Ruyin was standing alone in the center of the living room wearing a sky blue dress. Her beautiful eyes were staring at something on the table in front of her, as if she was thinking hard about something.
There, there was a strange model two feet square, hexagonal in shape, densely covered with various mysterious patterns, full of ancient charm.
