Chapter 195: Muddy Waters
Mo Juren carefully observed the iron-eating insect and found that it did not eat everything, but would choose the parts it liked and devour them crazily.
After a while, it crawled out from Feng De's corpse and went to several corpses nearby, but it only took a few bites, as if it was a bit picky about food, which left Mo Juren speechless.
In the end, the ferocious insect was so full that it even crawled very slowly. Mo Juren knew that it alone could not handle all the corpses, so he just let it go.
Taking advantage of this gap, Mo Juren found Miao Ping's storage bag. This guy had three or four hundred spirit stones on him, which made him quite wealthy.
Apart from the spirit stones, there was nothing special about it. However, after rummaging through a pile of spirit talismans, he found three "Thousand Mile Message Talismans".
Two of them clearly had the Spirit Beast Mountain mark on them, but the other one was blank.
Mo Juren sneered and showed it to Madam Xiang.
"This blank message talisman is most likely the tool used by Miao Ping to communicate with Qin Yeling."
Madam Xiang sighed,
"Hey, this person was also deeply trusted by me in the early years. I don't know why he suddenly changed his behavior and took such a risk, even betraying me and playing both sides."
Mo Juren said,
"To impress a man, besides power and status, it's nothing more than women and money. I'm afraid the conditions Qin Yeling has given him are something he can't refuse."
"But this is perfect! With these two message talismans, it will be easier for us to act and muddy the waters..."
Mrs. Xiang smiled and said,
"It seems that Master Tie has come up with another brilliant idea."
Mo Juren Dao,
"This still requires Madam Xiang's help. I just saw Miao Ping activate the Wanli Communication Talisman. It seems that he has some special techniques. Do you know?"
Madam Xiang nodded and said,
"I do know a little bit, and after watching Miao Ping's technique just now, I have roughly guessed it."
After a while, Mo Juren and Madam Xiang worked out the method that Miao Ping used to send messages, and then they had an idea to take some blood from Miao Ping's body.
Next, Mo Juren used the Wanli Communication Talisman of Lingshou Mountain to write a letter with only three words on it: "Qin Yeling..."
Regardless of whether the other party could see it or not, Mo Juren deliberately smeared Miao Ping's blood on the surface of the written message talisman, and then activated the talisman to burn it.
After Honglian recovered some of his magic power and got rid of his weak state, Mo Juren and the others had already dealt with all the traces here. Finally, they burned the remaining remains clean with fire bomb magic.
As for the spoils collected from the seven people, in order to avoid the risk of being tracked by Spirit Beast Mountain, no one dared to take away any but five or six hundred spirit stones. They also buried the rest of the spoils in a secret place, along with the storage bags.
Even the climbing leopard that Madam Xiang loved very much, because it was Feng De's iconic mount, often appeared with him in public, and its appearance was very prominent.
So in the end they had to give up on it and release it back into the mountains of Mengshan.
After that, the three of them carefully sneaked in Mengshan for a while. Fortunately, they did not go very deep into the mountain and did not encounter any major danger for the time being.
Then Mo Juren took out the remaining two Wanli Communication Talismans, one for Lingshou Mountain and one for the person suspected to be Qin Yeling.
The content written above is exactly the same.
"Three days from now, at midnight on the night of the full moon, we will meet under the jujube tree by the Gouzi Lake, a hundred miles east of the Beast King Peak."
Regardless of whether they believe it or not, now that we have the place and time, I believe it will be right for both sides to send some people to investigate. I just don't know what kind of sparks will come out of these two forces at that time.
Finally, the three of them took off their black clothes to hide their identities and went back to Lanzhou along the border of Mengshan. As a novice, Honglian Sanren practiced with Mo Juren and once reached the peak of the half-step foundation building stage. After dealing with Fengde, he fell back to the ninth level of Qi Refining.
Fortunately, it was just a huge loss of mana, and after it was replenished, it had no impact on his practice.
Moreover, once one's realm has been raised, there will be no obstacles in re-cultivating it later. It is a natural thing and all that is needed is the accumulation of time.
In addition, the three of them had just teamed up to kill a foundation-building cultivator from Lingshou Mountain. If they returned to Mo Juren's Canghe Cave immediately, they would probably implicate the people around them and bring great risks.
In order to avoid the limelight, Mo Juren made the decision. After arriving in Lanzhou, he went to the Mengshan hunting area where independent cultivators often appeared. He disguised himself as a hunting team and hid in Mengshan to practice for a while.
There is no spirit gathering array in this place, so there is not enough spiritual energy for normal cultivation. Fortunately, there is the dual cultivation method of "Yin and Yang Combination Technique". Honglian and Madam Xiang can both "take yang to replenish yin" from Mo Juren, and their cultivation speed increases instead of decreases.
It seemed as if Mo Juren had become the object of the two women's energy collection, and his yang energy was inexhaustible and could be collected endlessly.
Fortunately, every full moon night, Mo Juren would leave the two women and find a safe place alone. After setting up the formation, he would secretly absorb the yellow energy from the magical porcelain pieces. After some replenishment, it had no effect on Mo Juren's body at all.
Although the two real female cultivators were still not as strong as Zhang Qing's furnace cauldron physique, it was enough for Mo Juren to relieve the danger of excessive yang. He could boldly refine the evil into Gang and open up the acupoints.
As a result, the cultivation progress of the three people actually increased rather than decreased, and they were even reluctant to leave Mengshan.
Of course, the reason they were able to survive safely in the crisis-ridden Mengshan was mainly due to the "Lotus Platform Magic Weapon" in Honglian's hand.
This treasure passed down by "Granny Jinhua" has basically no problem defending against monsters at the foundation-building level.
Whenever they needed to rest, the three of them would find a secret place to place the lotus platform, and then they would boldly enjoy the excitement and tenderness of the wilderness.
Mo Juren had also asked Honglian about many things about her master, either openly or secretly, but he had never heard her mention the name "Young Master Liuhua". He was afraid that the true identity of this mysterious Grandma Jinhua could only be revealed to him in the photos.
Honglian was unaware of her cultivation method that could split into dozens of phantoms and then gather them into her body.
She only knew that her master had two faces, one was a white-haired old woman, and the other was a stunning beauty.
But she usually practices in seclusion inside a treasure, which is difficult for outsiders to see.
As for the fact that Grandma Jinhua came from the Hehuan Sect, Honglian knew it clearly.
Hu Pinggu called this sect an 'evil sect' that excels at collecting and replenishing energy, but in fact their real strength is extremely powerful.
In the tone of Grandma Jinhua's teaching, even the seven major sects of Yue Kingdom could not be compared with it.
Of course, the Hehuan Sect is not located in the territory of Yue State, but in a huge country called Tianluo State, located to the east of Yue State.
The Hehuan Sect is not only powerful, but also very strict in accepting disciples.
Honglian is an orphan baby girl adopted by Granny Jinhua since she was a child. She has been with her since she can remember, and she has good spiritual roots and physique. Her cultivation speed is no less than those female cultivators with real spiritual roots.
However, without the true recognition of the sect, she could only temporarily serve as a nominal disciple and follow Granny Jinhua.
Granny Jinhua told her that when Honglian felt that her cultivation was sufficient, she could find the location of the Hehuan Sect and take the real entrance test...
