"So many things happened?"
During the flight, Ge Mingyue briefly told what she knew about the situation, which also gave Mo Juren a general understanding of the current situation in Tiannan.
Thirty years later, the war between good and evil is still going on. Originally, it was just about secretly supporting and recruiting puppets. But as more and more small and medium-sized countries infiltrate and control, the spheres of influence of both sides have gradually expanded, and the relationship between them has gradually expanded. The fighting and fighting also turned from dark to bright and began to heat up.
In this way, it also indirectly slowed down the continued expansion of both sides and gave other neutral countries a chance to breathe. Just like in the northern part of Tiannan, many major forces that are unwilling to become the puppets of good and evil have already begun to unite with each other.
"Northern Tiannan?" Mo Juren's heart moved, thinking of the Tiandao Alliance, one of the four major forces in Tiannan in the future. Could it be that the time has come for it to appear?
This is not a simple force. Its comprehensive strength is stronger than that of good and evil. However, it is not an opponent of good and evil together.
Unfortunately, judging from the situation of good and evil, the possibility of the two parties joining forces is almost zero, which also leads to the inevitable establishment of the Tiandao Alliance.
Putting away his thoughts, he immediately changed the topic:
"In other words, the Ghost Spirit Sect has secretly made deals with other sects, and Jianzhou, Jingzhou and Linzhou in the entire northern region of Yue Kingdom have been occupied by it."
"Yes!" Ge Mingyue sighed softly, and then said,
"A group of small and medium-sized sects, led by the Blood Killing Sect, also took the initiative to withdraw after learning the news."
After a pause, he seemed to think of something, and suddenly said,
"I once heard my ancestors talk about this matter. The Ghost Spirit Sect has a huge appetite. It will not be satisfied with the northern area at all. Instead, it regards the entire Yue Kingdom as its own. Expansion is a matter of time. Fellow Daoist Mo's The foundation is in Spirit Beast Mountain, which is Lanzhou in the south, so preparations need to be made in advance."
"There are constant external disputes, and there are also internal conflicts due to huge interests. There is really no time to calm down." Mo Juren shook his head slightly, but he did not show any worry. Which of the six sects has lost its appetite? Ghost Spirit Sect It's not an exception. It's not that easy to occupy the entire Yue Kingdom.
Suddenly, I suddenly thought of Tianhua Tower. The forces of the Blood Killing Sect have retreated. What about the Tianhua Tower branch under Ge Tianfeng’s name?
"It has been moved to Xuanmu Country." Ge Mingyue nodded and continued,
"Although my blood killing sect and other small and medium-sized sects are not as powerful as the six sects, their overall strength cannot be underestimated. In addition, they are part of the demonic path after all, so naturally they cannot withdraw for nothing. After some discussions among the six sects, Finally, we decided to carve out Xuanmu Country as our sphere of influence."
"Xuanmu Country?" Mo Juren's heart moved. It seemed to be a country immediately northwest of Yuanwu Country. It was not large in area. It was similar to Jiang Country and Chaqi Country. They were both small countries. And nearby, there are dozens of such small countries, which are really inconspicuous.
"Yes, Xuanmu Kingdom." Ge Mingyue seemed to have guessed what he was thinking, and continued,
“As the Demonic Way has continued to expand in recent years, occupying and infiltrating more and more countries, the original way of dividing interests on a state-by-state basis has become somewhat inappropriate, and has gradually changed to a country-based basis.
The reason why the Ghost Spirit Sect plans to occupy the entire Yue Kingdom is also based on this major premise. Other sects are no exception, but the exchange of interests and competition involved are somewhat complicated, and it is difficult to determine the final result in a short period of time.
Also, the branch of Spirit Beast Mountain where fellow Taoist disciples belong can only have two endings in the future. Either they stay in Yue Kingdom and fight with the Ghost Spirit Sect, or they choose to leave and choose another country. "
"Is Spirit Beast Mountain a branch?" Hearing this, Mo Juren had roughly guessed the answer. According to the original destiny line, when Han Li returned, the Yue Kingdom had already been completely occupied by the Ghost Spirit Sect. From this point of view, Yuling Sect must have chosen the latter.
However, in this case, he has to make plans in advance, especially the property Tianhua Building under his name will definitely be moved away with the sect.
Speaking of Spirit Beast Mountain, Mo Juren asked again:
"I'm going back to Lanzhou soon. Do you know the situation at Spirit Beast Mountain?"
"What's the situation..." Ge Mingyue thought for a moment, then shook his head slightly and said,
"I haven't paid attention to the specifics, but I know one thing. Five years ago, the ancestor of the Han family of Spirit Beast Mountain broke through to the Yuanying stage. After that, the whole family moved to Lingzhou of Tianluo Kingdom and became the newly promoted Yuan Ying. One of the Ying Family. This incident caused quite a stir in the Six Sects, and almost no one knows about it."
"The Han family is relocating!" After hearing this, Mo Juren's expression suddenly changed slightly. The breakthrough of the ancestor of the Han family to the Nascent Soul stage was something that existed in the original destiny line, and he was not surprised. However, leaving the Yue Kingdom so quickly has to be taken seriously.
You must know that the Han family has been operating in Lanzhou for countless years, and the interests involved are extremely wide. Once they leave, the losses will be immeasurable.
More importantly, the Han family is one of his biggest backers in the Yue Kingdom. Now that they have gone to the main sect, their influence here has been greatly reduced, which is also a big loss for him.
Of course, he wouldn't be too worried.
Today, he is no longer what he used to be. Not only has his cultivation reached the early stage of pill formation, but his combat power is also far higher than that of the same level. Coupled with the peak six-level red gold ape, he is not even able to face the late stage monks of pill formation. fear.
With such strength, he is naturally confident. Even without a backer, he can still navigate this chaotic situation with ease.
Now he is worried about other things. One is the situation at home. At that time, Han Yunzhi was entrusted to take care of it. He didn't know how it was arranged?
The other is Tianhua Building, which involves too many interests. With the Han family leaving, it will inevitably lead to a series of chain reactions, especially if he has not returned for many years, there may be some trouble.
Even the Wang family and the Bai family would inevitably be tempted when faced with such huge interests. After all, the two major families had a large number of people. Only some of them were friendly with him and could benefit from Tianhua Tower, but not the rest.
He might have had some scruples before, but now that the strongest Han family has left, and he hasn't appeared for a long time, it's not impossible that he might have any thoughts that he shouldn't have.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel a sense of urgency in his heart. As his thoughts moved slightly, the speed of the Red Light Divine Boat suddenly increased.
…
A few days later, Lanzhou.
A stream of red light cut through the sky, and finally stopped over a mountain range.
On the second floor of the attic, Mo Juren let go of his consciousness and scanned downwards. He found nothing unusual and couldn't help but feel relieved.
"My cave has arrived. You can rest here temporarily for the rest of the time. When you recover as before, it won't be too late to leave." He said hello to the other side, and without hesitation, he immediately stood up and walked out of the attic.
This was the most appropriate arrangement. Naturally, Ge Mingyue had no objection. She nodded lightly and stood up to follow.
A moment later, Mo Juren had put away the flying boat and led the latter into the cave. However, when he walked through the long and narrow passage and entered the hall, he saw an unfamiliar face.
"Senior Mo!" The person meditating in the hall is a young man who is only at the tenth level of Qi training. The moment he saw Mo Juren appear, his face suddenly showed a look of ecstasy, and he stood up excitedly and saluted,
"Senior Mo, you are finally back."
"Who are you?" Mo Juren was a little confused. The other party obviously knew him, and his expression and words seemed to be deliberately waiting for him.
"Junior Han Muyang is a descendant of the Han family. He is here to guard the cave and wait for the return of his senior..." The young man Han Muyang did not hide anything. After a brief introduction, he began to tell the whole story in detail.
Five years ago, the ancestor of the Han family successfully broke through to the Nascent Soul stage. Not only the branch of the Spirit Beast Mountain branch was overjoyed, but the main sect of the Yuling Sect was also very happy. After all, for a sect, having one more Nascent Soul Stage monk means a significant increase in strength, which is definitely something to be happy about.
Not long after, a Nascent Soul stage elder from the main sect came to congratulate him in person, and announced that the ancestor of the Han family had also become one of the many elders of the main sect.
Afterwards, this Yuanying stage elder, the Han family ancestor and the Chiling ancestor of Spirit Beast Mountain held a secret meeting.
It is unknown what he said, but on the second day, the ancestor of the Han family immediately decided to lead the Han family to move to the main sect of the Yuling Sect.
And not only the Han family, but also some Danjie elders in the sect also made the choice to move to Lingzhou of Tianluo Kingdom with the Han family.
During this period, his family, including two young apprentices, also joined the relocation team under Han Yunzhi's persuasion, so that the cave was now empty, with nothing left except a set of protective formations.
Of course, the branch sect has not given up. Ancestor Chi Ling is still in charge of the sect, and even the Yuan Ying stage elder has stayed. Along with many Dan Jie stage monks who came with him, the overall strength here is not only It has not weakened, but is stronger than before.
Mo Juren couldn't help but fell into deep thought. The master must have a reason for doing this.
Ignoring the ancestor of Chiling? Divide the forces of Spirit Beast Mountain?
Probably not. The entire series of Spirit Beast Mountain is bound together, and their mutual interests, emotions, etc. are complicated and complicated. How can they be dismantled so easily? What's more, he didn't do this back then, and now that there's another ancestor of the Han family, he won't do it like this. If it arouses the resentment of the two Nascent Soul giants and makes them alienated, wouldn't it be worth the loss?
If it's not for isolation and division, then it must be for other purposes.
But, why exactly?
"By the way, there's one more thing." While he was thinking, Han Muyang suddenly reached into his storage bag, took out a white jade slip and handed it to him,
"My uncle left this behind before he left. He told me to leave it in the hands of my senior."
"Mr. Han?" Mo Juren nodded slightly, then took the jade slip and began to investigate. It wasn't until a moment later that his consciousness was withdrawn, and a glimmer of enlightenment flashed in his eyes.
After thinking for a moment, he said,
"You can continue to practice in the cave and leave with me when the time is right."
"Junior takes the order." Han Muyang naturally has no objection, especially since the environment here is really good, much better than when he was at Han's house. What's more, he, a monk in the Qi training stage, does not have the ability to go to Tianluo Kingdom alone.
Next, Mo Juren introduced Ge Mingyue. When he heard that the other party turned out to be a monk in the alchemy stage and would also live in the cave in the future, Han Muyang was immediately in awe.
But it was only then that he noticed something was wrong. This woman in the Dan-formation stage actually called Senior Mo a Taoist friend, and her tone and expression revealed a hint of respect. Doesn't that mean...
Thinking of this, I was suddenly shocked.
…
Spirit Beast Mountain, Fangshi.
At this time, on the fifth floor of Tianhua Building, a slender figure was standing alone in front of the window, looking at the bustling streets outside in a daze.
It was none other than Xin Ruyin.
After a long time, he seemed to have thought of something, and suddenly sighed softly: "It's been such a long time, are you okay?"
It has been more than forty years since Mo Juren went to Yuanwu Kingdom to perform his mission, which is indeed a long time. At first, news came back that the other party had gone to Qiling Mountain in Tianluo Kingdom to practice in seclusion. However, after that, he traveled far away alone, without any news for thirty years. How could we not make people worried?
Moreover, Mo Juren is not only the Mo family, but also the backbone of the entire Tianhua Tower system. Without the existence of the other party, his heart is always empty and without the slightest sense of security.
Xin Ruyin felt this the most deeply. She no longer had the relaxed and leisurely mentality of the past. Every night when people are quiet, they are always worried that something will happen that will lead to an accident in Tianhua Building.
In fact, since the Han family left, there had been a series of changes in the top leadership of the Spirit Beast Mountain branch, and she had already faintly felt that something was wrong. Especially since Mo Juren, the master of Tianhua Tower, has not returned for many years, facing such a piece of fat, it is inevitable that someone will have evil thoughts.
The most obvious manifestation is that the Wanbao Pavilion, which almost disappeared in the past, is open for business again, and has received strong support from some of the top leaders of the sect.
Fortunately, Tianhua Building is not a vegetarian. Without the support of the Han family, Wang family, Bai family and many other families, it will not have much impact. However, the interests were still damaged after all.
Moreover, with the re-emergence of Wanbao Pavilion and fierce competition with Tianhua Tower, this loss has continued to increase. Fortunately, she had been dealing with it carefully and cautiously, so that this loss was controlled to a certain limit.
It's a pity that no matter how smart she is, she is still just a monk in the Qi refining stage, and she is completely powerless when facing some difficulties.
"If he were here, I think this matter could be easily solved." Xin Ruyin whispered softly.
"Da da da……"
While she was thinking, a sound of light footsteps suddenly sounded, interrupting her contemplation.
Looking back, I saw that the person who came was none other than my maid Xiaomei. Different from the past, the opponent at this time was already a genuine foundation-building monk, much more powerful than her master.
However, even so, the latter still insisted on her identity as a maid and had no intention of changing. The only difference is that the other party found the person he loved and got married a few years ago.
"Miss, Mr. Qi is here." At this time, Xiaomei had long hair in a high bun, and her pretty face had a hint of maturity. However, at this time, she was obviously hesitant to speak. She paused and then continued,
"You...do you want to see him?"
"Just say I'm busy and forget about meeting." Xin Ruyin replied calmly.
