"This guy is not simple! Just the fact that he is neither humble nor arrogant when facing you and me is enough to prove that his answer just now is probably reserved." Dongmen Tu suddenly opened his mouth to analyze, and there was no emotion or anger in his words. But there was a hint of curiosity.
"Judging from his past performance, it is obvious that he has a cautious character. It is normal for him to hide his actions and words." Patriarch Xuanyuan shook his head slightly and said,
"Besides, who in this world of cultivation isn't hiding their heads and showing off their tails? They have too many trump cards? Those who like to be flamboyant and show off their sharp edges have long since died."
"Senior brother, what you said is true." Dongmen Tu smiled, but his expression suddenly became serious, and he said again,
"What do you think, senior brother, of this attack by the Mulan people?"
"It is impossible to go deep into the hinterland of the Nine Kingdoms Alliance and conduct an ambush in the Xu Kingdom without accurate information, and the Mulan people will never take such a risk." After saying this, Patriarch Xuanyuan suddenly paused, and a flash of light flashed in his eyes. Senran's cold light said again,
"This must be the work of an inner ghost, who wants to eliminate the potential disciples of my Yuling Sect in advance for the purpose of cooperating inside and outside."
"Who do you think it will be, senior brother?"
"The righteous path, the Tiandao Alliance, the Nine Kingdoms Alliance, or even the Demonic Path itself are possible, but there is no way to know who it is." Patriarch Xuanyuan frowned and continued,
"This matter must not be left alone, otherwise it will make outsiders think that Yuling Sect is a soft persimmon and can be manipulated by others? How should we deal with any qualified disciples in the sect in the future?
In short, junior brother must pay attention to this matter and send out manpower to fully investigate. I believe that as long as you do something, you will eventually leave some clues. "
"Don't worry, senior brother, I will personally take charge of this matter and do my best to catch the 'rat' who is hiding in the dark and plotting against our sect." Dongmen Tu solemnly nodded, his deep eyes also bursting with a strong cold light.
"That's good, that's good..." Ancestor Xuanyuan's eyes showed relief, but he suddenly sighed and said,
"Not just this matter, Yulingzong... will also be handed over to junior brother in the future. Our Feng family will also rely on junior brother to take care of us in the future."
"Senior brother, you..." Dongmen Tu couldn't recognize such an obvious intention of entrusting the orphan, and his expression suddenly changed and he said,
"Now that we have found an 'Impermanent Grass' that is old enough to be used to refine an ancient Impermanent Pill, can't we also..."
"Things are not that simple." Understanding the other party's thoughts, Patriarch Xuanyuan was not too happy and continued to explain,
"My longevity has been reached a long time ago. The reason why I can live until now is because I have taken the longevity elixir many times. It seems to be fine, but in fact, my potential has been exhausted long ago. The so-called fate is impermanent, even if it is an impermanent elixir , and it may not be able to work.”
"Is there really no other way?"
"Of course there is, just like the legendary Huiyang Water. The records left by the sect have mentioned this top-notch life-extending holy medicine. It is rumored that it can revive the dead, flesh and bones, greatly compensate for the original source, and then prolong life. A quarter of the lifespan of an ordinary monk. Unfortunately, this kind of sacred object that only exists in legends has long since disappeared, and it is impossible for it to still exist in the world." Ancestor Xuanyuan sighed again and said,
"Junior brother, don't worry too much. My old bones can still last for twenty or thirty years. This period of time is enough for junior brother to gradually adapt. However, after I sit down, the strength of the sect will inevitably drop a lot. We need to be more restrained in our actions in the future.”
"Senior brother's teachings, I will keep them in mind."
…
Returning to another pavilion, I happened to see Han Yunzhi waiting quietly. When he saw the two figures, he smiled brightly, and then fetched the tea set and started busy himself.
"In such a short period of time, you have grown to this point. Even I feel a little ashamed." Sitting down by the window, Han Zhuo couldn't help but sigh.
"It's just a false name. How can I be as old as you?" Mo Juren smiled.
"Don't be humble, kid. I have never heard of anyone in Tiannan being awarded the position of supreme elder by the sect with his cultivation in the late stage of pill formation. Those two above are quite courageous." Han Zhuo He looked back and said with a smile.
"It's also to win over and show favor." Mo Juren's eyes flashed slightly and he told the key.
"This is normal. After all, no one is alone. There is a huge family behind him. Winning over a being who has unlimited potential and is destined to rise will have hundreds of benefits and no harm." He took the spirit handed over from Han Yunzhi. Tea, Hanzhuo continued to analyze,
"Besides, the reason for showing such goodwill is because you are good enough and have grown up. With your Nascent Soul level combat power, the possibility of you dying in the future is extremely small. In addition, there are many things behind you that cannot be ignored. With the strong support, the general trend is achieved.”
"I only said that I could barely compete with the early Yuanying monks, but I didn't admit that I could beat him!"
"It doesn't matter if you can't beat him. If you can run away, you don't count as a loser." Han Zhuo chuckled, but his eyes suddenly narrowed and he said again,
"Furthermore, if my guess is correct, the so-called reluctant fight you mentioned before should be reserved, right?"
"This..." Mo Juren paused and asked,
"Why do you think so? No matter how strong a monk in the late stage of pill formation is, he cannot theoretically be the opponent of a strong person in the Nascent Soul stage, right?"
"Theoretically, this is true, but can you judge it with common sense?" Han Zhuo rolled his eyes at the other party and said again,
"Don't say it's me. I think those two people had the same idea. It's just that you deliberately kept a low profile and didn't reveal it."
"It seems I'm being smart!" Hearing this, Mo Juren couldn't help but laugh. Since he couldn't hide it, forget it, and he didn't bother to make up any more reasons to tell the difference.
Han Zhuo did not continue the topic. Instead, he glanced at Han Yunzhi and asked again: "I have heard about your family. How are they now?"
"I have settled them all in a secret place for the rest of my life, and will never appear in the world of practice again." Mo Juren's expression remained unchanged, and he replied naturally, with the right expression in his eyes. A hint of loneliness and helplessness.
"Birth, old age, illness and death are human nature and cannot be forced upon. Besides, as mortals, it is already an incredible miracle that they can extend their lives to such an old age, and there is nothing to regret." Han Zhuo nodded, and then looked at Han Yunzhi again. said,
"You girl, you should be more attentive. You can't just cover your head and practice. You should share your burdens and consider more for your husband."
"Don't worry, ancestor, I know everything." Han Yunzhi naturally heard another hidden meaning in the other party's words. He just wanted her, the only remaining wife, to seize the opportunity and truly become a good wife to the other party. She is no longer a confidante or something like that. In this way, Mo Juren and the Han family can be more closely bound together.
Unfortunately, the ancestor's plan is doomed to fail. Not only will the sisters not die, they are more likely to live forever.
It is true that she is a child of the Han family, and she is willing to do her best for the prosperity of the family. However, as a wife of the Mo family, she should put the interests of her husband's family first.
Therefore, it is impossible for her to reveal it to anyone without her husband's permission. It's not that she is ungrateful, but that the matter involves too much, and if there is any leakage, the consequences will be disastrous.
"There is one more thing, I don't know whether to talk about it or not?" Han Zhuo was not aware of the changes in their minds, but changed the subject and said again.
"If you always have something to say, just say it."
"What I want to talk about is none other than the real person who fell in love. What is your relationship with her?"
"This matter is a bit complicated..." Unexpectedly, the other party actually mentioned love. He knew the reason in his heart, but unfortunately, it was impossible to explain anything to the other party.
In the final analysis, because of the existence of Han Yunzhi, his relationship with the Han family is extraordinary, but it is essentially based on interests. Both parties get what they need, but the relationship is very weak.
To say that the person who really formed a deep friendship with him, besides Han Yunzhi, was not the Han Zhuo in front of him, but Han Qingyang, who was both a teacher and a friend, that is, Mr. Han.
When it comes to his own privacy, it is naturally impossible for him to reveal it to the other party.
Han Zhuo also understood this, so he did not ask too many questions. He just gave the same reminder again as he did on the front line of Lingfeng Kingdom:
"You also know the situation of the Extreme Emotions Sect. The True Lover is definitely not an economical lamp. Over the years, no male monks who have a relationship with a woman from this sect who has practiced the "Seven Emotions Immortal Code" have ended well. Please pay more attention to yourself."
"Don't worry, I know what's going on."
After continuing to chat for a while, Mo Juren said goodbye and then left the VIP building with Han Yunzhi.
Through the window, looking at the two people's retreating figures, Han Zhuo couldn't help but frown and murmured: "I hope you really know what's going on, otherwise we will be in trouble."
…
After all, it was a VIP area. Most of the people coming in and out were Nascent Soul stage powerhouses, and there were also accompanying Danjie stage juniors, but the number was very small.
Seeing so many strong men passing by and looking at them from time to time made Han Yunzhi feel a little uncomfortable, and he involuntarily moved closer to Mo Juren.
In contrast, Mo Juren was much calmer. After all, more than one Nascent Soul stage monk died in his hands, so why should he be uncomfortable?
Not only did he not dodge the glances directed at him, he would smile and nod in response to those he met, looking very familiar. This actually made some Nascent Soul Stage powerhouses a little stunned, secretly wondering if it was really an acquaintance?
"Brother Mo knows them?" Han Yunzhi came closer, gently picked up the other person's arm and asked in a low voice.
"Just saying hello, why do we need to know each other before when we meet."
"Ah..." Han Yunzhi was stunned for a moment, and then realized what was going on. At this time, all she felt was admiration. Brother Mo was so shameless, no, but his courage and strong state of mind were truly unmatched.
The VIP areas are all independent lofts. Although they are not many in number, they occupy a vast area. A formation was laid out in its outer area, forming a light curtain that enveloped the entire area.
The defensive power of that formation is not simple. Only a strong person in the Nascent Soul stage can easily break through it. It is much more difficult to switch to a monk in the Core Formation stage. Therefore, he can only rely on a specially made pass talisman.
Of course, Mo Juren didn't need it and took Han Yunzhi directly to the light curtain. However, before he could take action, the light curtain in front of him opened a passage, and then, three figures walked in one after another.
The leader is a middle-aged man, in the Nascent Soul stage, wearing a black robe covering his body, with a slightly elegant face, giving people a very easy-going impression.
However, the aura that was faintly emanating from his body was extremely cold. It was obvious that he had practiced some top-level magic technique, and it had reached an extremely high temperature.
The two people behind the elegant man were too familiar. They were Wang Chan and Yan Ruyan. When they saw Mo Juren and Han Yunzhi, their eyes suddenly showed surprise.
"Brother Mo, Junior Sister Han, it's you!"
"It turns out to be Brother Wang, and his younger siblings, long time no see!"
The two parties were so familiar with each other that they immediately came forward to chat with each other upon meeting. Although Wang Chan was initially repulsed by the title Wang, over the years, Wang Chan has become accustomed to it.
"I'm here to introduce Brother Mo. This is my second uncle." After the greetings, Wang Chan took the initiative to look at the elegant man beside him and introduced him.
While speaking, there was a hint of pride in his eyes subconsciously, but it disappeared in an instant. He suddenly thought of the situation of the person in front of him, and those terrible rumors that were almost like rumors. The original confidence in his heart disappeared without a trace in an instant. .
"It turns out to be Senior Wang from the Ghost Spirit Sect. I'm so polite, junior." Mo Juren nodded slightly and then raised his hand to the elegant man. He was very familiar with Wang Tiangu, the supreme elder of the Ghost Spirit Sect. Despite his elegant and easy-going appearance, he was actually a very vicious character.
"Since you are Chan'er's friend, you are not an outsider, so you don't need to be so polite." Wang Tiangu smiled warmly, vaguely guessing the identity of the person in front of him, his expression became more easy-going, and he took the initiative to ask,
"I heard that little friend Mo has obtained some ten thousand-year elixir. Is this true?"
"Of course the thing is true, but those elixirs have been handed over to Wanling Tower. If senior needs them, they can only obtain them through auctions." Mo Juren was not surprised that the other party recognized him, and he did not ask anything. replied directly.
Of course he didn't tell the truth, just to prevent the other party from suddenly asking for a private deal, which would make it difficult to refuse. And private transactions that lack competition will naturally not yield high gains, which is obviously not cost-effective.
"That's it, that's a pity." A trace of disappointment flashed in Wang Tiangu's eyes, and his original thoughts dissipated instantly, and then he said,
"When friends meet again, it's time to reminisce about the past. Let's chat. I'll go first."
After saying that, a few people were left behind and walked away, leaving only four people looking at each other. Obviously, Wang Tiangu misunderstood, or did so deliberately.
It is true that the two parties know each other, and they are both members of the Tianhua Business Alliance. However, they have no relationship with their friends.
In Wang Chan's mind, why should he, who comes from a top-notch cultivating family like the Wang family and is the future master of the Ghost Spirit Sect, succumb to a so-called 'genius' who is a casual cultivator and is supported by women?
In other words, he has seen a lot of geniuses, and he is just as good as the other person, but the halo of genius has little weight here.
Therefore, he was extremely unconvinced with Mo Juren for a long time, and even deliberately tried to seize the position of leader of the Merchant Alliance.
Unfortunately, the other party is far more than a genius. He is clearly a monster and a demon. No matter the achievements or the speed of growth, he is beyond his reach. This also makes every time he has an idea, he will not wait for the plan to be implemented. He was completely shocked by the sudden news from the other party, and was unable to resist.
