"Interesting!" Looking at the direction where the blood light disappeared, an old man with an old face and a skinny body murmured in a low voice. There was no emotion or anger at all, but there was murderous intent and surprise in his deep eyes, which eventually turned into intense curiosity.
"Gu Gu, do you want to chase him?" A middle-aged monk next to him asked with a frown.
"Please sense it more carefully." The skinny old man shook his head slightly.
"Eh..." Several masters released their consciousness one after another, but the next moment they were all stunned. There was not even a ghost within a hundred miles. As for the distance of a hundred miles, it was already beyond the range of several people's spiritual consciousness. They could only sense some vague generalizations and could not accurately lock them.
This shouldn't be the case? What kind of escape technique can reach hundreds of miles away in an instant is a bit unbelievable.
Several people looked at the skinny old man again. As one of the three great masters in the clan, the intensity of his spiritual consciousness was far beyond theirs. It could directly cover a radius of two hundred miles, and the sensing range was even further. There should be no problem, right?
"I don't know what you are thinking. If I can catch you, I won't give up. It's a pity..." At this point, the skinny old man suddenly sighed softly,
"The other party has already used that mysterious escape technique twice, and now it's already beyond the range of two hundred miles... Well, now it's three times..."
At this point, the skinny old man had completely given up the idea of pursuing him, and then withdrew his consciousness. He immediately changed the topic, looked at the four people and asked:
"What do you think about these two people?"
"This..." After hearing this, several people suddenly looked at each other. They didn't even know what the parents looked like, let alone their opinions. They were completely confused.
After a pause, one of them spoke first,
"The appearance of those two people was too sudden, and they were still deep underground, and they were extremely hidden. If you hadn't sensed them just now, I and the others wouldn't have been able to detect them at all with our strength."
"What Brother Zheng said is not unreasonable. However, the direction in which the two people escaped can be basically determined. They must be monks from Tiannan. As for the purpose of the other party, they may be here to inquire about information, or they may have other ideas, but It’s unknown.” Another young man in a white robe also said.
"Search for information! Could it be that Tiannan is planning to take action against us?"
"It should not be the case. All the forces in Tiannan have always been content with the status quo and lack of enterprising spirit. In addition, they are not of the same mind. There are serious internal conflicts among each other, and they have no ability to invade the grassland. Moreover, the grassland resources are poor, and Tiannan Those people never look down on..."
"..."
"..."
"Okay, everyone, please stop." He raised his hand to interrupt the discussion of several people, and the skinny old man said again,
"No matter what the origin of the other party is, or what its purpose is, our clan only needs to deal with it cautiously, and at the same time strengthen intelligence detection in Tiannan, there may be gains..."
"What the ancients said is absolutely true. We have learned from it." The middle-aged monk nodded, and suddenly, as if something suddenly occurred to him, he said solemnly,
"Speaking of intelligence, I suddenly thought of Fellow Daoist Yulong who sent the message back. He and Fellow Daoist Tian suffered a disastrous defeat precisely because of their intelligence errors. The latter even lost his life because of this..."
"What Brother Zheng wants to say should be Mo Juren, the building owner of Tianhua Tower, right? This person is indeed not a thing in the pool. Let's not talk about his past achievements. I didn't expect that he would have a comparable If the Nascent Soul's early fighting power is not taken seriously, it will definitely skyrocket over time. By then, I'm afraid there will be another serious problem..."
"Since this boy can compete with the early Yuanying monks, he has grown up. It is necessary to value nature, but if you want to limit it, I am afraid it will be too late..." The middle-aged monk sighed, and a trace of regret flashed in his eyes.
"Brother Zheng is right, especially after the failure of the two Taoist friends Yulong, the other party will inevitably become more cautious and find it harder to find a suitable opportunity. And even if we find it, it will be useless. As long as the other party keeps hiding in the hinterland of Tiannan, I Waiting will make you feel powerless.
Those forces in Tiannan are not vegetarians, and they cannot allow us to invade with unscrupulous forces. The slightest mistake will be a huge loss, and Fellow Daoist Tian is a living example. "
"What you said is correct, but I'm afraid things are not that simple. Don't forget Daoist Fellow Tian's origin. The person behind him probably won't let it go." The young man in white robe suddenly moved his expression slightly, with meaning. Pointed to.
"You mean..." After hearing this, not only the middle-aged monk, but also several other people's eyes lit up.
"Yes, if that person is willing to take action, he alone is enough to kill Mo."
While talking, several people turned their attention to the skinny old man. Based on his status and influence in the clan, they probably knew something. As the closest confidant, the other party will not be stingy about revealing something to himself and others.
"Junior Brother Tian started to retreat a few years ago, and it is impossible to come out in a short time. As for what he will do when he comes out in the future, I am not sure." The skinny old man shook his head slightly and continued,
"Let's not discuss this matter any more. Put all your curiosity away and follow me back to the Holy Court for business. It's not too late to talk about other things in your free time."
Naturally, the four of them had no objection, and they all gathered their thoughts and stopped talking. Then, under the leadership of the skinny old man, they headed towards the Holy Court through the air.
…
More than a thousand miles away, somewhere in a dense forest.
At this time, Mo Juren was sitting cross-legged on a clean white stone with his eyes closed, a quiet cultivator. His face was slightly pale, and his aura was slightly weaker than before.
On another boulder opposite, Master Lingqing also sat cross-legged. Different from the former, at this time, she had no intention of cultivating and recovering at all. Instead, she stared at the person in front of her with burning eyes.
The experience just now was truly thrilling, no less than walking through the gates of hell. Unexpectedly, the desperate situation that he thought was inevitable was easily resolved by the other party.
Until now, she still couldn't believe it, but she had to believe that this was the truth. And such an incredible fact is exactly the feat of the person in front of him.
"Is he okay?" Thinking that the other party had lost so much blood and essence in order to escape with her not long ago, it would be impossible for anyone else to be safe and sound. Although the other party said it was nothing serious, it still made her worried.
Withdrawing his thoughts, he immediately let go of his consciousness and explored the area for a while. After confirming that there was nothing unusual, he breathed a sigh of relief.
He even held a triangular flag in his hand and waved it gently. An invisible wave suddenly appeared in the nearby area, and the figures of the two people became blurred until they disappeared.
After all, we were still in the Mulan Grassland, and we couldn't be careless. Therefore, at the beginning of his recovery from cultivation, Mo Juren arranged a large formation in advance to shield the detection of spiritual consciousness.
Master Ling Qing took over the main formation flag without even thinking, and in the following time, he carefully protected the other party.
Time passed slowly, and several hours passed in the blink of an eye, and the sky gradually darkened.
But at this moment, Mo Juren finally woke up. The moment he opened his eyes, he happened to meet the concerned eyes of Master Liao Qing, and he couldn't help but feel warm in his heart:
"Thanks a lot."
"I'm not miserable..." Master Liaoqing shook his head slightly and asked quickly,
"How is your recovery going? Is everything okay?"
"It's just that the consumption is too high, is it okay?" Mo Juren smiled, not wanting the latter but replied solemnly,
"You must not be careless about this matter. This kind of top-level escape method must not only be as simple as losing blood and essence, but also very likely to cost other things. If I felt it right before, when I use this secret technique, There is a faint trace of extremely evil aura emerging."
"Is there anything else?" Mo Juren was stunned, but said again,
"Perhaps it's because this secret technique comes from the demon clan. It's normal to have a trace of demonic nature. My third eye is just able to restrain it, so it's not a big deal. On the contrary, you should pay more attention when practicing and performing this technique in the future."
After the words fell, Mo Juren slowly stood up. Looking up at the dark night sky, I saw a bright moon and few stars, which gave me a feeling of vastness.
"This is the night sky over the grassland. Compared with Tiannan, it has an indescribable and majestic feeling." Master Liaoqing also raised his head slightly, looked at the night sky and murmured, a flash of light suddenly flashed in his clear eyes. A trace of remembrance, fleeting.
"You seem to be quite touched, but what did you remember?" Mo Juren heard the strangeness in the other party's words and was a little curious.
"It's okay not to mention some old things." Master Lingqing obviously didn't want to talk more about this matter, so he immediately withdrew his gaze and said again,
"Now that it's all clear, we should hurry up and leave. Staying in the grassland always makes me feel uneasy."
"That's fine."
Naturally, Mo Juren had no objection, and the two of them immediately drove their magic weapons towards the Nine Nations Alliance without further delay.
The two of them still restrained their aura and kept a low profile as much as possible. Therefore, the subsequent journey went smoothly, and I never encountered the Nascent Soul Stage level monk Mu Lan again.
The Mulan people have encountered many, but they are only sporadic tribes, most of which are just mortals, and even if there are monks, they are only low-level monks in the Qi training and foundation building stages.
Flying all the way, before he knew it, he had flown out of the grassland, crossed the vast yellow sand area, and finally entered the sphere of influence of the Nine Nations Alliance.
The first one to pass through was naturally the Fengyuan Kingdom. More than sixty years had passed since the last invasion by the Mulan people. All the territory once occupied by the Mulan people had been taken back, and Fengyuan Kingdom had naturally returned to the Nine Kingdoms. The embrace of the alliance.
Unfortunately, the Mulan people were too ruthless in the last war. They were like locusts, plundering all the resources they could take away.
Even though the Mulan people were later repelled, the trauma caused by the war was difficult to recover from, especially the Fengyuan Kingdom on the border, which bore the brunt and is still severely damaged to this day.
The most obvious thing is the number of mortals, which can be described as scarce. Except for some large cities, the rest of the places give people a sense of desolation.
In the past, in order to avoid the war, most of the mortals of Fengyuan Kingdom were moved to the rear of Yu Kingdom.
I originally thought of waiting until the war was over and then moving the people back, but I never thought that after seeing the prosperity and stability of the Yu Kingdom, most of them were unwilling to go back.
It is human nature to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, so naturally one cannot blame the people. The Nine-Nation Alliance did not press too hard. After discussion, they decided to set Fengyuan Country in the southernmost border area as a special war country.
Only some big cities will be retained, and the rest will be abandoned. On the contrary, no less than a dozen war bases, large and small, were built in strategic locations throughout the country.
It has to be said that in order to resist the invasion of the Mulan people, the top leaders of the Nine-Nation Alliance spent a lot of effort and energy, and the price they paid was also not low.
Fortunately, the situation in Tiannan has changed now, and the four major forces have formed an alliance to resist the invasion of the Mulan people. In this way, the task of defense will naturally no longer be borne by the Nine-Nation Alliance itself, but the several major forces will send their own forces to cooperate together.
Over the past few decades, this situation has become the norm, and the major forces have gradually adapted to it, sending people over at regular intervals.
While the two were on their way, they saw many of them with their own eyes, including even disciples from the Yuling Sect.
After leaving Fengyuan Kingdom, the two finally entered the territory of Yu Kingdom, and then fled all the way until they reached Yu Jingcheng, the capital of Yu Kingdom.
"I have never asked before, what is the situation of your friend? Why did he choose to live in this mortal world?" Mo Juren suddenly asked, looking at the bustling crowd on the street in Yujing City.
"Have you ever heard of the Red Dust Fairy?" Master Lingqing did not answer directly, but asked the other party.
"Fairy of the Red Dust, the one from Beiye Sect!" Mo Juren looked slightly surprised. He had naturally heard of this woman. She was the biological sister of Ye Chengyang, the leader of Beiye Sect. Her real name was Ye Xiyue, and she was a monk in the early stage of Nascent Soul. .
This woman is quite famous, almost everyone in Tiannan knows it, but it is not because of her identity as the direct sister of the Baye Sect Master, nor because of her early Nascent Soul cultivation, but because of her "weird" personality.
To sum it up, it can be described in four words: "romantic and uninhibited". It is rumored that he has had no less than ten Taoist companions in the spiritual world, each of which can only last for a few decades.
Such a female Sea King is actually friends with the Qing Zhenren, which really refreshes Mo Juren's knowledge.
"Xiyue once saved my life. As for her character, what does it have to do with me?" Master Liaoqing guessed what the other party was thinking, and immediately told the reason, and then said,
"Besides, rumors are just rumors after all, and you cannot believe them all. You will understand when you learn more about it in the future. As for why she chose to live in Yu Jing City among mortals, there is also a compelling reason. The specific reason can be said in a few sentences. I’m not sure, I’ll explain it to you slowly in the future.”
"She is your friend, so of course I don't care. On the other hand, after so many years, are you sure that the Ten Thousand Years Xuan Jade is still in the hands of the other party?" Mo Juren's expression remained unchanged and he directly asked what he was concerned about.
"Don't worry, I communicated with the other party before departure, and the things are still there." While speaking, Master Lingqing looked in a certain direction for a while, as if he thought of something, and suddenly smiled slyly and said,
"Let's go, her place of residence is not far away, just the specific location...don't think too much later..."
