Obviously, Ye Lantian knew far more inside information than Chen Mo did, and his sudden visit tonight was nothing more than promising the benefits of their cooperation.
But facing this kind of unpredictable "friend", Chen Mo always felt that he was planning a huge plot. Since he would become his pawn if he was not careful, it would be better to stay away as soon as possible.
"There may be two groups of people outside the inn monitoring my every move. One group should be from Li Shuang, whom I met today. This is not surprising. They just want to see if I have contact with the two groups of mid-stage Foundation Establishment forces. "ao
"Ye Lantian's spy is more troublesome. He now knows where I live. The next step will be to explore my whereabouts in the city, so as to understand all my movements and judgments..."
Chen Mo thought for a moment and analyzed the situation outside. He had already thought of a countermeasure and was waiting for the key figures to help him break the situation.
While Chen Mo was drawing something, he waited quietly in the room until the candle burned down to the bottom, and the gentle knock on the door came belatedly.
Sure enough, it was Zhang Yunjian who returned late at night.
"Hey, Brother Chen hasn't rested yet. Could he be waiting for me?"
"That's right." Chen Mo didn't talk about the matter straight to the point, but asked:
"Speaking of which, did Brother Zhang chat with that Miss Wang for so long today?"
Zhang Yunjian waved his hand and sat down opposite Chen Mo without saying anything, "Hey, Moti! After we parted ways with you, she found an excuse to run away, so I had to walk around the shops in the city alone, but I didn't gain much. What a waste of a day!”
Chen Mo nodded and said: "Brother Zhang, I plan to leave Fengyuan City tomorrow."
Zhang Yunjian said "Ah" in surprise when he heard this, but seeing that Chen Mo's expression didn't look like he was joking, he asked again: "Why is this?"
Chen Mo said: "I want to go to the Demonic Island to have a look first."
Zhang Yunjian frowned: "Aren't you waiting for them to sail to pick you up? There is less than half a month left, and the wind and waves on the sea are too strong. You may be in some danger..."
Before he could finish speaking, Chen Mo interrupted: "Yes, so we have to divide our forces into two groups."
"The troops are divided into two groups?"
"I plan to ask Brother Zhang to inquire about some information in Fengyuan City these days. The more detailed the better about the two monks who are in the middle stage of foundation construction, and this person."
Chen Mo handed over Ye Lantian's portrait: "He looks pretty good." Zhang Yunjian murmured to himself: "Send someone to keep an eye on him. His movements are compiled on jade slips every day. If I really go Trapped Demon Island, give these to me when Brother Zhang enters the island. In return, I will share all the situation on Trapped Demon Island with Brother Zhang."
"If I return without success, the days I have wasted will not be in vain." Chen Mo looked at Zhang Yunjian with burning eyes and said loudly:
"I have been thinking in the past few hours that instead of serving as a minions for these three groups of forces, it is better to be more comfortable. If Brother Zhang still has the idea of joining them at this time, I will not force it. I will treat it as what I said before. It’s out of earshot, just ignore it.”
Half a year of contact was enough for Chen Mo to know Zhang Yunjian's character. The last sentence about working for those three groups of forces for free would definitely prick the worries in his heart, allowing him to do things according to his instructions.
As expected, Zhang Yunjian's eyes flickered slightly when he heard Chen Mo's last words: "What the hell! Since Brother Chen has made the arrangement so clear, I will just follow it!"
Chen Mo knew what he was doing, so he stood up and raised his hands and said, "Brother Zhang, thank you for the hard work."
Zhang Yunjian also stood up quickly: "It's a trivial matter. By the way, Brother Chen, did you prepare a map near the Demon Island? If not..."
Chen Mo smiled slightly and said: "Of course there is." "Haha, I was superfluous!" "Brother Zhang is serious."
"Then don't disturb Brother Chen's rest. I'm leaving." Zhang Yunjian also bowed to Chen Mo and left quickly.
The practice of spiritual consciousness transformation every night must not be neglected. Chen Mo arranged a simple layer of restrictions in the house as usual. Invisible spiritual energy condensed in the room. The coercion belonging to the foundation building period suddenly filled every corner, as if on the bed. Sitting cross-legged is a
The cold light sword that is waiting to be fired.
The gradually solidified energy slowly dispersed a few feet away as Chen Mo's breathing continued.
This is not a suburb. Wretched destruction will disturb many monks staying in the inn. Furthermore, the cultivation of spiritual consciousness only requires consumption and recovery.
After repeating this for several rounds, the sky became foggy and bright. Chen Mo simply finished cleaning up and quickly left Fengyuan City while there were not many people on the street.
According to the map, the Demon Island is located in the east several hundred miles away from Fengyuan City. There is an endless ocean, and the people around it habitually call it the "Sea of Silence".
With Chen Mo's strength in the foundation building stage, he didn't waste much time flying over.
But in order to avoid Ye Lantian's sight, Chen Mo made a special trip on the way to the Sea of Silence. However, based on his caution along the way, he thought he was already out of control.
Chen Mo landed on a steep cliff and looked into the distance.
It was a gloomy weather at this time, and the sea surface was very dimly illuminated by the gray light reflected by the dark clouds. In front of the sea, which was not blocked by buildings, the sea breeze stirred up the sand and dust, and there were scattered vegetation near the cliff. There was a conspicuous handful of Men and women were cutting down trees and tying ropes.
Chen Mo's heart moved. He made a rough observation with his spiritual consciousness and found that the spiritual power there fluctuated greatly. Out of curiosity, he flew over and landed slowly not far away in front of everyone.
Before Chen Mo could say anything, a middle-aged man took the lead and asked him, "Do you want to go to the Devil's Island too, fellow Taoist?"
Chen Mo took a closer look. Like him, this person was also in the early stage of foundation building, but his aura was deep and solid, so he must be not far from the middle stage.
There were four men and three women here, and he was obviously the leader. The three women all looked like young women, and the men were old and young. They were all in the early stages of foundation building.
"Well, yes, but..."
"The tree over there is yours."
The strong man with a stubble on his face glanced at him coldly, then threw a sharp ax at him. With a "pop" sound, Chen Mo took it lightly and held it, which made the remaining people cast a surprised look. look.
Even the strong man who started the scene twitched his eyelids, but he quickly went to work on the other side.
The middle-aged man walked over with a smile and quickly explained: "Fellow Taoist, there is no need to be angry, that's just the way he is..."
As he said that, he pointed to his head: "Don't be surprised if there is a missing string."
Seeing that everyone was busy with their work again, Chen Mo also vaguely guessed: "You... want to build a boat to trap the Demon Island?"
"Haha, don't fellow Taoists want to do this too?"
The middle-aged monk told a fact that surprised Chen Mo: "Before this, several groups of monks had already set off. We came one day ago. At first, it was just me and Li Gang. Oh, it was that guy, and then there were more Someone joined, and since there is strength in numbers, the team has been expanded to seven. If fellow Taoists are interested, adding one more person is not too many."
"Look at my memory. I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Li Fan. I studied under Luo Xing Sect. Don't you know the taboo of my friend's name?"
"Chen Mo, Fuyun Sect of Wei State."
The two sides cupped their hands. Even if they knew each other, Chen Mo was not in a hurry to chop down the tree. Some doubts in his heart were solved by the person in front of him: "Brother Li laughed. I have never been to the Sea of Silence before. I would like to take this opportunity to ask a few questions." question."
"You're welcome, but it doesn't hurt to ask."
"Are there any rules about air restrictions when going to Demon Island? Why do we have to build a boat to move forward?"
Li Fan smiled and said: "We can't help but be empty, but there is no land to stay in the vast sea, and the spiritual power cannot be supplied. Moreover, we are facing the turbulent sea wind. With our strength in the foundation period, if we want to continuously fly hundreds of miles, we can't." It’s nothing like a fool’s dream.”
"I see."
Chen Mo nodded clearly and turned around to see that their ship had already set up the main body: "I think your ship will be ready to go to sea in two or three days."
"Well, it's just the first step. We're still far from landing on the island."
"how you said that?"
"It's not all calm in the Silent Sea. The monsters in the sea are rampant, and there are quite a few of them in the third and fourth levels. It is said that if you go further,
The sea beasts who were still at the sixth level before were equivalent to the cultivation level of humans in the late stage of foundation building. The sea is not as good as the land. I'm afraid it wouldn't be enough for them to tie us all together. "
