"Yang'er, can't you be rude? Why don't you apologize quickly?" Although the person in front of him was a stranger, he could not hide it from Cheng Songting's eyes, especially the aura of mana emanating from him. He was stunned for only a moment before he realized it.
It wasn't just him, the rest of the monks in the Dan Formation Stage also quickly showed signs of astonishment. The other party's appearance before was obviously just a disguise, but now it is his true appearance.
Similar situations abound in the world of cultivation. This is nothing, especially since the person in front of them is powerful, and everyone just smiled and didn't take it to heart at all.
Among them, Cheng Yang was the only exception, and he even had a vague feeling of something bad in his heart. Ying'er invited this person and deliberately kept it from him, which made him shocked and at a loss. This man surnamed Mo had been very close to the other party before, and now they have been living together in a secret place for a year. Who knows what will happen?
He even secretly resented that this person surnamed Mo was just joining in the fun, otherwise Ying'er would definitely be with him all the time, even if she was in danger, she would still be with him.
Now that it's time to let the other party take the lead, how could he not be jealous in his heart.
However, the other party's strength was too strong, and even his father looked fearful. No matter how uncomfortable he felt, he could not get angry, so he could only endure it and said:
"Senior Mo, forgive me, it's too late...Junior was reckless."
"Young Cheng is famous, so there is no need to apologize to me, a casual cultivator. No need." The reluctance on the other party's face could not be concealed from Mo Juren, and with the repeated offenses, he naturally didn't look good.
Cheng Songting was almost angry to death when he saw this scene. You are a junior in the foundation building stage. Why should you be arrogant in the face of such a powerful person? You are just apologizing and you are still unwilling. Is your brain flooded?
Unfortunately, this is his own seed after all, and it is the only child of the Cheng family. As a father, he has to carry it no matter how angry he is. Thinking of this, he immediately said apologetically:
"Fellow Daoist Mo, please forgive me. This kid was just confused for a while, and I didn't mean to offend him. When he goes back, Cheng will definitely punish him severely so that he will remember it for a long time."
"Island Master Cheng doesn't need to worry about it. How can Mr. Mo be as knowledgeable as a junior?" Mo Juren smiled slightly, with an expression on his face that he didn't take it to heart at all.
"Brother Mo, you're fine. It was so hard to hide it from me before!" At this time, Qin Luan also stepped forward to say hello in time, with an extremely enthusiastic attitude.
"Just to avoid any trouble, I hope fellow Taoist Qin can forgive me for being disrespectful..."
The two of them started chatting as if no one else was watching. Cheng Songting's heart skipped a beat when he saw this scene, and he secretly thought that these two guys must not stand together because of this, otherwise they would be in trouble.
The harvest obtained in the ninth level can only be regarded as acceptable, so I am not worried about this aspect, after all, the person named Mo did not participate. However, the secret realm in front of them tells another story. Who knows how many treasures there are. If the two parties join forces, it will be very detrimental to Kamikaze Island.
Naturally, he doesn't know what's going on in the secret realm, otherwise he wouldn't have such worries. There are naturally treasures among them, but unfortunately they all belong to Xu Qingcheng. Who can seize them from the tiger's mouth?
"Senior Mo, the sect master..." During the exchange of greetings, Fan Jingmei and Zhuo Ruting approached, the anxiety on their faces could not be concealed at all. Wang Ying was never seen, and the two of them were naturally worried. Even Cheng Yang from a distance looked over with hope when he heard this.
"Don't worry, she's fine." Mo Juren comforted him with a smile, then looked at everyone and continued,
"I know that everyone is interested in the secret realm below, but the situation is a little different. As for the specific reason, there is no need for Mo to waste any time. He will wait for the fellow Taoists who have also fallen to come out later and explain them together."
"Are they okay?" Upon hearing this, Cheng Songting and Qin Yue expressed surprise. The treasure hunt is still secondary, the elders in the pill formation stage are the top priority, and losing one of them is heartbreaking.
"Of course it's fine." Mo Juren nodded, then turned around and looked at the passage below. Before he could let go of his spiritual sense to explore, a ray of light suddenly flew out. When the brilliance faded away, what was revealed was Wang Ying.
At this time, the other party had a look of surprise on his face and was about to say something to him when he suddenly noticed the surrounding environment. He swallowed what he said and walked towards Fan Zhuo and the two women to talk quietly.
When she appeared, Cheng Yang's eyes also showed ecstasy. After being separated for so long, I can't bear it in my heart, and I am about to rush forward. Unexpectedly, he was directly held down by Cheng Songting, who looked at him with cold eyes. He was so aggrieved that he didn't dare to move anymore.
At the same time, other monks in the alchemy stage also flew out of the passage one after another and met each other in the same door. Naturally, some exchanges of greetings were inevitable, and the hall suddenly became lively.
A moment later, another ray of light flew out quickly. When it appeared, everyone who had been staying outside was stunned, and their hearts were even more horrified.
He turned out to be a powerful person in the Nascent Soul Stage! No one can be deceived by the majestic magic power that is not concealed at all! However, there are still such existences in the secret realm. What does it have to do with them?
Soon, as a group of elders came out and explained in low voices, the others roughly understood what was going on. It turns out that the so-called secret realm is actually like this. No wonder Mo Juren said that just now.
At this moment, everyone felt nothing but disappointment. They finally found a secret place, but it was completely different from what they imagined. They couldn't get any results at all. This result was really helpless.
Cheng Songting and Qin Luan looked at each other and understood in their hearts that since the matter had come to this, there was no need to enter the secret realm to explore, and what they needed to focus on now was how to leave.
Thinking of this, the two of them turned their attention to Mo Juren. The returning elders had previously reminded the other party of his performance in the secret realm, and they were naturally extremely shocked.
Of course, the main reason was Cheng Songting. He had only heard about it before, but now he realized that the opponent's strength and methods were much stronger than he expected.
In contrast, Qin Yue was only slightly surprised. Having fought against the opponent in person, he knew very well that the gap between the two sides was only widening again on the original basis.
Now if you want to leave the underground world here, you still have to rely on the other party. Firstly, he is powerful, and secondly, because of the news he heard before, the other party has a close relationship with the Master of Paradise Palace at the Nascent Soul stage.
As an indigenous person who originally lived here and a strong person in the Nascent Soul stage, I thought I would know more about the situation of this site.
Mo Juren naturally understood what the two of them were thinking, and then looked at Xu Qingcheng. Unexpectedly, at this time, the other party was looking at the surrounding hall in a daze, obviously thinking about something.
He knew very well that the other party had a lot of secrets. Even if he had promised that he would know everything when he went out, he just wanted to listen and don't take it too seriously. Once vital interests are involved, who would be stupid enough to actually reveal them?
He sees this very clearly. He can say it or not, say it at any time, and let everything take its course. As for now, he should have discovered something.
He didn't make a sound to disturb the other party, and instead stood there and waited quietly. Seeing this, Cheng Songting and Qin Yue couldn't rush them, so they could only choose to wait.
Only a moment passed before Xu Qingcheng finally came to his senses. Seeing the expressions of the people around him, he immediately understood what was going on.
Ignoring others, he frowned slightly and secretly said to Mo Juren:
"The environment here is 90% similar to the ninth floor of the Phantom Tower."
"The two should be related. You don't know the reason?" Mo Juren was also a little surprised and asked via voicemail.
"I have only lived for more than a thousand years. Much of my understanding of the ancient times is based on the large number of notes and records left by my ancestors. As for why this is the case, I still can't figure it out." Xu Qingcheng shook his head slightly, paused, and then And he said,
"Don't worry, let me think about it again, and check the information by the way. I should be able to find relevant information."
As he spoke, his delicate hands turned over, and a jade slip emerged. She didn't waste any time and immediately let go of her consciousness to check.
Time passed slowly, and a full quarter of an hour passed. The other party had already looked through dozens of jade slips. The harvest seemed good, and his originally frowning eyebrows gradually relaxed.
After finally reading the last jade slip, he immediately smiled and said:
"I probably know it already, but I need to try it first."
There was no sound transmission this time. Not only Mo Juren, but also everyone else around him heard it, with joy on their faces.
In fact, they did not break through the previous circular formations on the second to eighth floors, but found a tricky way to reach the ninth floor of the pagoda directly.
】
The result is self-evident. Although there is no need to circle back and forth between the second and eighth floors, he is trapped on the ninth floor, and even the stairs leading to the lower floor have disappeared.
This is really disappointing, and now all expectations are placed in the hands of this Nascent Soul Stage powerhouse.
Putting away the jade slips, Xu Qingcheng did not make any big movements, but moved her lotus steps lightly and walked slowly around the hall. While walking, his eyes were constantly observing the wall, as if he was looking for something.
Unlike the ones below, there are no 'avant-garde' paintings on the walls of the ninth floor hall. Instead, there are a large number of complicated spiritual patterns, which seem to be some kind of formation.
Qin Yue even came closer and reminded in a low voice that they had made many attempts before, asking the accompanying formation master to break it, and also used violence, but to no avail.
Now if I switch to a strong person in the Nascent Soul stage, I hope I can succeed.
It really did not disappoint everyone. After just a while, Xu Qingcheng stopped and looked at the wall for a moment, then suddenly raised his arm, and then pointed to a certain location.
There was nothing unusual at first, but as the other party began to input mana, the wall centered on his fingertips suddenly began to change. In an instant, a portal about ten feet tall and covered with mysterious lines appeared.
A smile appeared in his bright eyes, but his fingers did not retract, but moved along the lines on the door. Within a moment, ancient runes emitting a faint light were outlined one after another.
As the number of runes increased, the entire portal became brighter and brighter. When the brilliance was dazzling, the swiping fingers suddenly stopped, and then with a gentle force, the portal slowly opened.
Through the portal, you can already see the scene outside, which is the familiar underground world.
Everyone who saw this scene suddenly expressed joy, but suddenly they realized that it was useless to leave the pagoda. What should I do next? There is no passage, but it seems that there is still no way out of the underground world?
"The teleportation array to leave the underground world is no longer here, so let's go out first." Xu Qingcheng explained, and this dispelled everyone's doubts.
It turns out that there is still a teleportation array, so that would be easy. It's right to think about it. This underground world is very big. After everyone entered, they went straight to the pagoda without exploring too much. It's not surprising that the teleportation array is set up elsewhere.
Thinking of this, everyone no longer hesitated and walked towards the portal one after another, flying towards the outside of the pagoda. In just a moment, there were only a few figures left in the hall.
"You..." Looking at Xu Qingcheng who was quiet and motionless, Mo Juren frowned slightly and was about to ask, but the other party smiled directly and said,
"I also have some personal matters to deal with, and I will go out later."
Mo Juren knew clearly that there must be some secrets here. He glanced at the other party meaningfully, but without asking any further questions, he immediately flew out of the hall with Wang Ying and the three girls.
"This guy is too suspicious. Besides, he clearly promised not to interfere in our clan's private affairs. What does it mean to behave like this now?" Xu Qingcheng naturally noticed the strange look in the other person's eyes when he left, and couldn't help but feel helpless in his heart, but he couldn't help it. .
She couldn't help but start to think. She would inevitably have to deal with the other party in the future. Such a suspicious character was not easy to get along with, so she had to pay more attention to it.
…
"Fellow Daoist Mo, that senior..." Qin Yue came over after flying down from the pagoda.
"We still need to deal with some personal matters, just wait a moment." Mo Juren replied calmly. Hearing this, the other party felt relieved. He thought something was going to go wrong again, but luckily it wasn't.
While waiting, Qin Yue suddenly moved slightly and said with emotion:
"I didn't expect that this site exploration would be like this. It's really sad to say that."
"Everything in the world is unpredictable. Who can guarantee that everything will go smoothly." Mo Juren smiled slightly and then said,
"I heard that there are a lot of good things in the ninth level. Fellow Daoist Qin's trip is considered worthwhile."
"It's just some ordinary ancient treasures, nothing. But Brother Mo, I didn't expect that he could even subdue the red gold ape in the outer sea. Qin is very impressed."
"It's just a coincidence."
"..."
The two of them chatted passionately, and Cheng Songting naturally noticed it.
However, compared to his previous worries, he was now much calmer. Anyway, it is impossible to gain anything anymore, and they will even leave soon, so there is no point in forming an alliance.
Of course, it is impossible to say that there are no ups and downs in the heart. Mo Juren has endless potential and his future achievements are limitless. If we can make friends with such a person, it will be of great benefit to Kamikaze Island without any harm.
Unfortunately, the relationship between the two parties has become somewhat stiff due to the fact that his villain has offended the other party several times. Even when talking to him, the other party's attitude is no longer as friendly as before.
When he thought of this, he became angry again. He was considered a hero all his life, how could he give birth to such a thing? Not only did he waste his cultivation for a witch, but now he also offended people who shouldn't be offended because of it, how could he not be angry.
