Chapter 234 The Spiritual Bird Catching Up
Since the women in the Mo Mansion were not together, Mo Juren had no way of escaping with everyone, so he quickly thought of a countermeasure.

Thinking back to the process of entering the inheritance land, there shouldn't be too many clues left. Even if the Spirit Beast Mountain came to the door, they would not immediately investigate the Mo Mansion. So Mo Juren finally decided,

"Liu'er! Send someone to report immediately and urgently call Yuzhu, Fengwu, and the Fifth Madam back to the Mo Mansion!... Three days later at midnight, the four of you will secretly go to Changpingdu Ping'an Inn and wait for me to show up."

"As for the Second Madam of Tainan Temple and Caihuan, I will go and bring them back personally. This is an emergency, so don't alert anyone else. Do you understand?"

The fourth lady frowned, glanced to the side, and nodded slowly.

Mo Juren knew that the Fourth Madam had been in charge of the Jingjiao Society for so many years. If he asked her to suddenly give up all this and flee with him, she would probably be unable to calm down.

So he walked closer to her, held her shoulders tightly, and said sincerely,

"Thank you for your hard work, Liu'er. I promise you that I, Mo Juren, will definitely help you get back what you lost today, okay?"

The fourth lady came to her senses after hearing this and said,
"Thank you, husband. Don't worry, Liu'er knows the simple truth that 'there is always a way to survive'."

Mo Juren finally felt relieved and quickly discussed some countermeasures.

As for the direction of escape for everyone in the Mo Mansion, Mo Juren planned to arrange for them to head north to Yuejing.

Because when he discussed with the five friends of Mengshan before, he knew that Zhongzhou where Yuejing was located did not belong to any of the seven major sects of Yue Kingdom. It was a neutral place reserved for ordinary mortals. Even if there were cultivators, they were mostly independent cultivators.

Moreover, Yuejing is the most prosperous city in the world. As long as you have money, it is possible to gain a foothold in Yuejing and regain your wealth and glory.

The other direction is Yanling Fort in Linzhou. As the largest family of immortal cultivation outside the seven major sects, the Yan family also accepts all mortals.

However, the Yan family’s rule for mortals is that they can only enter but not leave. Once you enter Yanling Castle, you can never come out, so this can only be the last choice.

After instructing the Fourth Madam again to travel light and not to leak any news, Mo Juren went to the backyard and left Jiayuan City with Hu Pinggu.

As they headed south toward Guanggui City, they would pass by the secret realm in the sky where Honglian was in seclusion. This was also the place where Mo Juren had originally planned to take Hu Pinggu to hide.

However, during the flight, Hu Pinggu mentioned that this road passed right by her cave, and they could take away a batch of resources that she and her husband had left in the cave.

So Mo Juren didn't think much about it, and under Hu Pinggu's instructions, he controlled the flying boat and slightly turned its route to the east.

Unexpectedly, before reaching the cave, Hu Pinggu suddenly felt a sharp pain in her head and screamed on the flying boat.

"Ah! My head suddenly hurts!..."

"What's wrong? Sister Hu..." Mo Juren asked curiously. Even if it was the corpse worm pill, it shouldn't take effect so quickly, right?

But seeing that Hu Pinggu was still in pain, he had to devote his hands to massaging the acupoints on her head using the doctor's massage techniques.

After a while, Hu Pinggu suddenly exclaimed,

"Not good! Something must have happened in the cave! Do you remember the mountain ape beast we subdued together? I have signed a spirit beast contract with it and have let it guard the cave."

"Now that my mind is suddenly damaged, it must be that something happened in the cave, and the mountain ape beast may have been killed by someone!"

Mo Juren analyzed, "If something happens at this time, it is very likely aimed at us. Sister, you must be under investigation!"

Aunt Hu Ping said,

"What should we do now? Could it be that they are really from Spirit Beast Mountain? How could they arrive so quickly?"

It has been only a little over a day since the formation at the Medicine Sect’s inheritance site collapsed.

Although from a rational analysis, Mo Juren felt that even if Lingshou Mountain attached great importance to Hong Jin's death and immediately sent people to investigate, and then find out all the independent cultivators who had been to Baoyuntai, and follow the clues to find their caves, it would probably take ten days or half a month.

But now that Hu Pinggu's cave has been raided, even if they suspect it is a coincidence, Mo Juren and the others don't dare to take the risk.

So he quickly changed direction in the air and headed southwest, preparing to pass by Hu Pinggu's cave.

Unfortunately, what you fear is bound to happen. Just as Mo Juren was concentrating on controlling the flying boat and looking around vigilantly, he suddenly found three spiritual birds soaring into the sky from behind and quickly catching up with him.

Judging from the appearance of the three large birds, they were the mounts of the disciples of Lingshou Mountain that Mo Juren had designed to shoot down before he killed Feng De.

Now the matter couldn't be clearer. Whether they sent people directly or transferred from nearby, Lingshou Mountain must have sent a large number of disciples to investigate the matter, so there were only two or three cultivators in Hu Pinggu's cave.

There were more than thirty independent cultivators who first entered the Medicine Sect's inheritance site with Diao Yuanzheng.

If Mo Juren drove the flying boat at full speed, it would still be faster than the three birds, but the problem was that Mo Juren was carrying two people on the flying boat. If the speed was faster, the mana consumption would be great and it would be difficult to sustain for long.

If he didn't escape from the sight of those three people quickly, he might be chased and blocked by others.

At this moment, one of the three spiritual birds used some secret method and its speed soared, surpassing the other two and getting closer and closer to Mo Juren's flying boat.

This person should be the leader, and his cultivation is likely to be above the foundation building stage. Judging from the situation, he will catch up with us sooner or later.

Mo Juren's mind raced, and he could only steel himself and call out the cloud-winged bird from his spirit beast bag.

In front of Hu Pinggu's surprised look, Mo Juren spoke directly,
"Little yellow-haired boy, I'm in danger now. There are three spirit birds chasing us. Can you show your power and help us escape?"

After hearing what Mo Juren said, the Cloud-Winged Bird turned its head and looked back while flying, and chirped twice.

Then it accelerated and overtook the one in front, and suddenly with a "bang" it turned into a blue-black roc and spread its huge wings.

Mo Juren was delighted when he saw the Cloud-Winged Bird directly transform into the form of the Blue Thunder Beast. He knew that it had agreed to his request.

So he controlled the flying boat to come above it and said to Hu Pinggu,
"Sister Hu, I'm sorry, hold me tight!"

Then he turned her around, picked her up face to face, and jumped directly onto the broad back of the Cloud-Winged Bird. He lay sideways with Hu Pinggu and hurriedly grabbed the feathers on its back.

"Little yellow-haired boy, quick, use lightning escape!"

The wings of the Cloud Winged Bird suddenly flashed with lightning, and the sound of thunder rang out. With a "crack", it flew forward with the two of them for hundreds of miles, and quickly disappeared from the sight of the three Spirit Beast Mountain disciples behind them...
