The man was none other than Li Huayuan from Huang Maple Valley. As for the woman in red, Mo Juren had never seen her before, but he had a faint guess in his heart.
At this time, the two of them were in serious trouble. Their faces were pale, their mouths were bleeding, and their breaths were erratic. It was obvious that they had suffered serious injuries.
About a hundred feet away behind the two people, four figures in different costumes were chasing after them with all their strength. Various auras of light flashed alternately in their hands, and they took turns bombarding the two people in front of them.
That spiritual light was not a magic weapon, but some kind of special Five Elements Taoism, and its power was extremely powerful. Although the two tried their best to resist, they still couldn't bear it. Every time an attack came, their respective protective auras flashed rapidly, looking as if they were about to be completely shattered.
"We can't go on like this, we can't escape." After enduring another bombardment, Li Huayuan suddenly stopped to escape, the fiery red flying sword under his feet floated close to him, and said loudly again,
"Sister, let's go first, I'll hold them back."
"No, your magic weapon has been destroyed and the spirit beast is gone. If you stay, you will definitely die." The woman in red obviously disagreed. After all, her injuries were lighter in comparison.
"That's why I want to stay. With my situation, it's impossible to hold on for too long." Li Huayuan looked anxious and scolded him coldly,
"Senior sister, please don't act on your own initiative at times like this. Anyone who can escape will count. Also, please remember to take good care of Ru'er and those children for me. Please."
After saying that, he actually swallowed a handful of pills, and then took up the escape light to meet the enemy who was pursuing him. He was obviously determined to die, completely ignoring the violent power of the medicine in his body, and drove the flying sword to fight with the enemy.
"Junior brother..." The woman in red's eyes turned red, and she wanted to rush forward as well, but finally gave up. What the other party said was true. If he had stayed behind, the final outcome would be the same. Rather than doing so, it would be better to take this opportunity to escape.
However, how can I feel better when I think of the other party dying in this barren mountain to protect me?
Unfortunately, there was no time for her to dwell on it now and she had to make a decision immediately. Otherwise, the opponent's sacrifice will be wasted.
"Junior brother, take care!" The woman in red had tears in her eyes, but she finally became cruel and wanted to run away immediately. However, at this moment, three white lights suddenly rose into the sky from the thick black fog below.
The distance was too close, right at the feet of the four Mulan Masters, and it was still a surprise attack. The speed of the white light was as fast as lightning. Before the three of them could react, they encountered the white light in an instant.
What made the three people even more desperate was that because they had the upper hand before, they didn't even summon defensive magic weapons. All they could use for defense were their own protective auras.
It would be fine if it were an ordinary magic weapon, but the white light that came was obviously not simple. It actually broke through the defense of the spiritual light and passed through the body from the Dantian area, which was even more icy cold.
"No……"
"..."
"..."
The change was too sudden, and three shrill, unfamiliar languages rang out at the same time. The only remaining person was also frightened and turned pale. After all, they were also monks in the elixir formation stage. Although they were only in the early stages, they weren't so fragile, right? Can't take a single move?
While frightened, he also instantly realized that he must have encountered a powerful enemy whose strength far exceeded his own, or someone who was ruthless and resorted to all possible means.
Wherever he dared to stay, he immediately took up the light and fled. Unfortunately, there was no way to escape. All I saw was a shadow shaking, and a strange figure suddenly appeared and blocked the way.
"You..." The man's face changed drastically, and he was about to say something, but all he heard was a cold snort, and a flying sword suddenly struck from behind.
Naturally, the man would not be as unprepared as the other three. He moved half a foot sideways at the fastest speed and just avoided the fatal blow. At the same time, golden light flashed in his hand, revealing golden flying needles that were about seven inches long.
However, before he could start attacking, the opponent suddenly came over and grabbed his throat with his arms. Severe pain came immediately, and bursts of icy mana poured into his mind instantly.
"Go to death..." The feeling of death was so clear that the man suddenly became crazy. Golden light flashed in his hand, and seven flying needles stabbed out at the vital points of the opponent's body like lightning.
Guessing that he was going to be doomed, he went completely crazy. What made him happy was that the other party was so careless that he didn't even turn on the protective aura, giving him the chance to die together. His flying needle is a special top-level magic weapon, especially good at sneak attacks. Even if he cannot kill the opponent, he will still seriously injure him.
At the same time, it struggled even harder, and even summoned a bone dagger again to slash. What shocked him was that after contact with the opponent's arm, it seemed as if it had been cut on steel, with no effect at all.
In contrast, Mo Juren's expression remained unchanged from beginning to end, and the flying needles that came at him couldn't even break through his skin, let alone cause any harm to him.
The man also noticed this, and his original expectation turned into despair. What kind of monster is this? In front of the other party, he is like a three-year-old child, with no ability to resist.
Unfortunately, everything was meaningless. With a crisp sound, his throat was crushed to pieces. Immediately afterwards, the flying sword pierced the dantian, and the extreme cold air instantly filled the air. Even the golden elixir was frozen by the opponent, completely cutting off the possibility of escape.
In just a blink of an eye, four Mulan tribe alchemy monks were killed and three were injured.
Li Huayuan and Li Huayuan in the distance were both dumbfounded. What kind of existence is this? It has such powerful strength. Could it be that some ancestor in the Nascent Soul stage is not the master?
Fortunately, the two of them finally woke up from the shock, and they were overjoyed. They each controlled the magic weapons to attack the remaining three people.
With their Dantian shattered, the three Mulan Masters had no ability to resist, and were killed in the blink of an eye.
After a while, Li Huayuan and his two men flew over slowly, saluted respectfully and said:
"Thank you fellow Taoist for your generous action and saving your life. We will never forget it."
The cold and beautiful woman next to her also bowed solemnly, and while thanking her, she respectfully handed it out with two jade hands. What she was holding was the storage bag of the three Mulan monks.
Mo Juren was not polite and put away the storage bag directly. Then he said with a smile: "We haven't seen you for many years. How are you doing, Fellow Daoist Li?"
"Huh?" After hearing this, Li Huayuan was stunned for a moment. What's going on? Could it be that the other party knows him? He quickly raised his head and looked at the other person, and he was indeed somewhat familiar.
However, that was all, he could not remember where he had seen it. On the other hand, the cold and beautiful woman beside her frowned slightly, as if she was thinking about something.
Suddenly, his bright eyes suddenly flashed, and he said in surprise:
"You...you are Mo Juren from Spirit Beast Mountain!"
"What, it's him!" Li Huayuan finally remembered. No wonder he felt vaguely familiar. He had indeed seen this person once during the Vietnam War. However, the opponent at that time was just a junior in the foundation building stage, so he naturally didn't take it to heart.
Although this person disappeared for many years in the following decades, his fame did not diminish at all. He was spread almost all over the south of the world, and even he had heard of it many times.
However, he, who has been busy working for the sect to gain a foothold, only has a certain understanding of it and does not pay too much attention to it. But the senior sister next to him knew more than him.
This person is indeed extraordinary. In just a few decades, he has grown from a junior in the foundation building stage to his current height. Even he cannot match him. It is really incredible.
"It turns out to be Fellow Taoist Mo. It was Li who was blind before. I hope fellow Taoist can forgive me." Putting away his confused thoughts, Li Huayuan bowed his hand again. As for the cause and effect between the two sects, he simply ignored it.
The person in front of me not only has unlimited future potential, but he is also his savior. Such an existence is enough to erase too many things. At least for him, taking the opportunity to make good friends with the other party is definitely a wise choice.
As he spoke, he even took the initiative to introduce the identity of the cold and charming woman next to him. After listening, Mo Juren suddenly thought to himself that indeed, he had guessed correctly.
This woman can also be regarded as an 'acquaintance', Fairy Hongfu, a woman who is quite famous in the original novel, but he has never seen her before.
Taking a closer look at the other party, he was indeed very cool and charming, with a charming charm in his every frown and smile. No wonder he had some talent in being favored by the old devil Yunlu of the Hehuan Sect in the past.
After a few simple greetings, the two parties seemed to know each other, and then Mo Juren asked:
"The strength of these two Taoist friends is not low, why did they end up in such a situation?"
"It's a long story." After hearing this, the two people's expressions suddenly changed, and Li Huayuan's expression suddenly became solemn and he said,
"My senior sister and I were stationed at the stronghold on the border of the wilderness to monitor the movements of the Mulan people. Not long ago, a group of vanguard teams suddenly appeared and destroyed the stronghold..."
As the other party continued to tell, Mo Juren instantly understood that as he had expected, the invasion of the Mulan people was about to begin.
This is the same as the original destiny line. In other words, the scale of this invasion is far greater than before, and it will directly change the original pattern of Tiannan.
"Has the message ever been passed back?"
"It has been spread." Li Huayuan nodded solemnly and continued,
"The above has already responded. Let the two of us escape and go to Fengyuan Jing immediately. There is a large alliance base there that can be used to resist the attack of the Mulan people."
Having said this, he no longer hesitated and immediately saluted again,
"Without further delay, we must leave for the base immediately. I don't know, Fellow Daoist Mo..."
"Fengyuan Jing!" Mo Juren's eyes flashed slightly. This battle is different from the past. Fengyuan Kingdom may not be able to defend it. Of course, only he knows this currently, not even the Nine Nations Alliance.
He glanced at the two of them and then said,
"The two of you are so seriously injured, especially Fellow Daoist Li. I'm afraid you won't be able to recover as before within a few years. You might as well return to Yu State directly. Mo is going to Tiantian City, so I can give you a ride."
"This..." Before Li Huayuan could speak, Hongfu beside him said directly,
"That's fine. Thank you so much, Fellow Daoist Mo."
Hearing this, Li Huayuan's expression changed slightly, but he did not object. It is true that the alliance has an order, but there is also a premise, that is, the two of them are not injured and their strength is still there.
It was completely different now. The injuries of both of them were unclear, especially his own. He had swallowed a large amount of pills at once, which caused the spiritual power in his dantian to be scattered and he had no fighting power at all. Even going to the Fengyuan Jing camp would not help.
"No problem" Mo Juren smiled, then patted the spirit beast bag and summoned Xiao Jin.
"You two, please."
Looking at the huge golden boulder in front of him, Li Huayuan suddenly felt a sense of loss in his heart. In order to escape for his life, his spiritual beast, the Silver-armored Horned Python, fell to the enemy, which was a huge loss to him.
Moreover, the spirit beast has been with him for many years, and he has cultivated it step by step, so his feelings for it are naturally deep. When I think of the other person's death, sadness arises in my heart.
"Junior brother, let's go." Fairy Hongfu probably guessed what the other party was thinking, but she didn't know how to persuade him, so she only reminded him softly.
"Make senior sister laugh." Li Huayuan realized that now was not the time to delay, it was better to leave quickly to avoid the Mu Lan people chasing after him again.
After a moment, Xiao Jin's huge golden wings suddenly flapped, turning into a golden light and flying directly through the air.
…
Regarding the invasion of the Mulan people, the Nine Nations Alliance did not show too much concern. There have been many times in the past countless years, and they were eventually defeated.
What's more, today's Nine-Nation Alliance is no longer what it used to be. Because of the dispute between good and evil, too many monks fled south, causing the alliance's overall strength to skyrocket in a short period of time.
With such strength, his mentality inevitably changed subtly, and there was a hint of arrogance. Especially after learning the news from the front line, he didn't pay too much attention to it, and the deployment adopted was no different from before.
During the flight, Mo Juren also learned about the Nine Nations Alliance's response strategy from Li Huayuan, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart. This time, the Nine Nations Alliance was afraid that they would suffer a big loss.
Of course, he didn't give any unnecessary reminders. Firstly, he couldn't explain how he got the information, and secondly, it was also based on the interests of Tiannan as a whole.
In this war, the Nine-Nation Alliance suffered a huge defeat in the early stages, and eventually had to ask for help from the three major alliances in the rear, which directly led to changes in the pattern of Tiannan.
In order to deal with the invasion of foreign enemies, the four major alliances had no choice but to join forces. The battle between good and evil also ceased, and for more than a hundred years, the chaos in Tiannan finally came to an end, and a long period of relative peace began.
This can be considered a good thing. At least the internal friction is reduced, which will be of great benefit to the Tiannan Immortal Cultivation World.
Such a grand structure is naturally not something that Mo Juren, a monk in the Alchemy Stage, has to worry about, but the peaceful and stable environment is beneficial to him.
The steady development of the industry under his name is just one of them. The key is time. Without the burden of endless tasks, he will have more time at his disposal.
He also had to consider his own cultivation. Although the ten years in the Lingfeng Kingdom camp were not busy, he still had to go out to participate in battles from time to time, and there was no way to truly practice hard in seclusion.
Coupled with the poor spiritual environment there, it further slowed down the speed of cultivation.
These problems will be solved when this battle ends and Tiannan enters a period of peace.
The other thing is the matter of refining the bloodline. Over the years, Xin Ruyin has worked hard to collect resources for him and gained a lot. The materials needed to refine the other four bloodlines of gold, wood, fire, and earth have almost been collected. As for the remaining ones, even if they are not available here in Tiannan, they will most likely be completed in the Chaotic Star Sea.
