Chapter 239 The Conspiracy of Spirit Beast Mountain
The one controlling this giant flying bat monster is a Jindan cultivator from Lingshou Mountain. He has a big beard and a mighty appearance. Every move he makes seems to reveal uncontrollable magic power.
After he landed the disciple he brought with him on the ground, he directly put the flying bat back into his spirit beast bag.
Next, he released a green flying sword, stepped on it, and approached the white-haired evil king in the air.
The two began to talk in whispers in the air, but deliberately did not let Mo Juren and others hear.
The disciples from Lingshou Mountain who came with him, upon seeing the group of independent cultivators who had arrived earlier, had no intention of getting to know them and simply went off to find a place to rest.
Mo Juren glanced casually and found a little girl who was very conspicuous among the rough men in Lingshou Mountain. Looking at her beautiful face and unconfident look, it was Han Yunzhi!
Mo Juren didn't expect that she would come, but this was not the right time to recognize her, so he deliberately turned his back to the direction of the disciples of Lingshou Mountain and hid his face.
After a while, the White-haired Evil Lord and the Jindan cultivator from the Spirit Beast Mountain seemed to have discussed something, so they descended to the ground together and came in front of the group of wandering cultivators.
I only heard the white-haired evil king say,
"Everyone, I have just explained to you the opportunities and dangers of this Blood Forbidden Land. Now I will give you two choices. One is to participate in the trial as a casual cultivator and enter the Blood Forbidden Land with the sect disciples to pick spiritual herbs."
"The other option is to leave this place immediately and give up the qualification for this Immortal Ascension Conference and the chance to obtain the Foundation Establishment Pill!"
"How is it? Is anyone leaving?" The White-haired Evil Lord said coldly in a feminine voice.
In fact, Mo Juren knew at this moment that this bloody forbidden land was definitely not so easy to enter. At least the White-haired Evil King did not tell them all the truth.
What's more, there was Han Yunzhi's previous warning. She might have obtained some inside information from Lingshou Mountain, so she told him not to even attend the Ascension Conference.
However, at this point, Mo Juren could not afford to regret his decision, because everyone could hear the inexplicable threat in the White-haired Evil Lord's tone.
However, the White-haired Evil Lord was probably overthinking it. It seemed that among the independent cultivators, except for Mo Juren who had some doubts, no one wanted to quit.
So the White-haired Evil Lord nodded with satisfaction, and then the bearded Jindan monk from Spirit Beast Mountain continued,
"Very good! Since you have all decided to stay, I will make it clear to you. Once you enter the Blood Forbidden Land, you must abide by the rules set by the seven major sects. Life and death are your own responsibility. Strength is everything. All the spiritual herbs you pick must be handed over. You are not allowed to keep them privately! Do you understand?"
The scattered cultivators answered with various voices,
"understood!"
"understand!"
"We are willing to abide by the rules of the Seven Sects."
The bearded Jindan monk frowned when he heard such a messy answer, and then continued,
"Then before that, there is one more important thing to do! After all, you are not disciples of the sect, your backgrounds are complicated, and your hearts are hard to predict. In order to ensure that there are no accidents when entering the Blood Forbidden Land, you need to swallow a special insect poison made by our Spirit Beast Mountain..."
When Mo Juren heard this, his eyes lit up, and he seemed to have thought of something...
As for the other wandering cultivators, upon hearing what Insect Gu said, they immediately became flustered and started to talk among themselves.
"What? Insect Gu!"
"You don't trust us!" "You're not trying to control us, are you?"
When the bearded Jindan monk saw this reaction, he looked at the white-haired evil king with dissatisfaction.
The white-haired evil king immediately snorted coldly, and in an instant, the entire space seemed to be instantly filled with a cold current, which frightened all the wandering cultivators. They immediately fell silent, and apart from their facial expressions changing drastically, they dared not make any more sound.
"I have already given you the chance. Since you have chosen to stay, you must obey the arrangements of the Seven Sects! If I hear any disobedient words from you again, humph..."
The majesty of the Jindan cultivator was definitely not something that the casual cultivators in the Qi Refining stage dared to challenge. Those who felt that something was wrong could only regret it silently in their hearts, but dared not say anything anymore.
I can only hope that they will keep their promise and give me the antidote after the trial is over.
So the bearded Jindan monk continued,
"Don't worry, the insect poison specially made by our Spirit Beast Mountain will only survive in your body for seven days, which is exactly the same as the duration of this trip to the Blood Forbidden Land. As long as you come out safely, you will naturally get the antidote, eliminating your worries."
"If anyone dares to hide in there, or tries to get by without putting in any effort, then don't blame us for being ruthless. When the insect poison explodes in your body, you will be devoured to death!"
As soon as Mo Juren heard it, he knew that what Lingshou Mountain wanted to plant in the wandering cultivators should be the seed mother heart-eating poison that he was carrying!
"Alright, line up and come forward one by one to plant the Gu!"
Following the order of the bearded Jindan monk, the wandering cultivators had no choice but to come before him reluctantly.
What the bearded man took out were two pairs of mother and child heart-eating insects. After planting the child insects into the body of the casual cultivator, he collected the mother insects in time.
Mo Juren couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart when he saw this. It seemed that the Spirit Beast Mountain was indeed full of malicious intent and had great ambitions!
He did not explain the function of the mother-child heart-eating insect clearly to everyone. Apart from the antidote that needs to be taken once every seven days, if someone takes out the mother insect to threaten others in the forbidden area, then many independent cultivators will be controlled by the Spirit Beast Mountain in one fell swoop!
I'm afraid that by then, Lingshou Mountain will be able to take advantage of the bloody trial in which the seven sects are competing, and may be able to obtain the greatest benefit!
Seeing through this, Mo Juren sneered in his heart, but he was not afraid at all. Like other casual cultivators, he silently accepted the poisonous insect planted by the bearded man.
After doing this, the white-haired evil king left directly.
A group of independent cultivators were left here to wait with the cultivators from Spirit Beast Mountain for the arrival of all seven major sects, after which the gate to the Blood Forbidden Land would be opened.
After a while, six different teams really arrived, representing the other six factions.
Each team was led by a Jindan cultivator, and they all seemed to be showing off their magical powers, riding on different flying treasures.
Although Mo Juren had only seen disciples from Lingshou Mountain and Huangfeng Valley, the styles of the seven major sects were also very obvious, and he could tell where they came from with a little identification.
For example, the Qingxu Sect has Taoists wearing Taoist robes, the Jujian Sect has black-clothed swordsmen carrying big swords, the monks of Huadaowu are generally more feminine, the monks of Tianque Fort all wear blue standard disciple uniforms, and so on.
