Chapter 85 Confused Consciousness

The four people on the island are all independent practitioners from Lanzhou. Since their practice places are relatively close, they keep in touch with each other frequently and have formed a small group.

These four people all have the cultivation base of the late Qi Refining stage, but they are facing Hong Jin, who is in the Foundation Establishment stage and has the responsibility of being the sect's inspector.

In the face of strength and power, the four of them had no choice but to obey orders.

Seeing that they agreed very readily, Hong Jin nodded with satisfaction. Then he deliberately controlled Feihu to turn around violently, causing another wave on the river surface, and then turned around and asked,
"Aunt Hu Ping, Xiong Dali, you and your wife are familiar with the Mengshan Five Friends. Have you heard any news about them recently?"

The young woman surnamed Hu said quickly,
"The five of them recently formed a team to go into Mengshan to hunt beasts. I think they will be back soon."

"Very good. If you encounter them or other independent cultivators, please tell them what I, the Spirit Beast Mountain, mean. Otherwise, if they violate this prohibition, don't blame me for being rude."

After saying this, the flying tiger flapped its wings violently, carrying Hong Jin high into the sky, and flew away with a roar.

Hu Pinggu looked at Feihu's departing figure and said enviously,
"Hey, the foundation-building cultivators are different. They can fly in the sky with beasts and come and go freely. This is the demeanor that a true immortal cultivator should have!"

Wu Jiuzhi snorted coldly,
"He is just relying on the sect's abundant resources to reach this state. If we also have such resources, why can't we be like him..."

"Fellow Daoist Wu, you are joking. There are also many disciples in the sect who have stagnated in their realm and have low cultivation. But no matter what, their spiritual stones are relatively stable. Unlike us casual cultivators, we have to worry about tomorrow's spiritual stones after earning them today."

Honglian Sanren had no intention of continuing the small talk, so he said goodbye to the three of them.

"Since the inspector has already given a clear warning, I apologize to the three of you. Please consider that I have not appeared here today. Allow me to take my leave first."

After saying that, he released Honglian again. The lotus leaves on the water surface were seen spinning, carrying her away from the island first.

Seeing this, Wu Jiuzhi also clasped his fists and left. He took out a log from his storage bag, threw it into the river at random, and then jumped onto the log. In an instant, a strong current was stirred up from behind, carrying him downstream and leaving quickly.

Only Hu Pinggu and another person were left on the island. The young woman jumped up and sat on Xiong Dali's broad shoulders, while Xiong Dali held his wife's slender waist and thighs with ease.

Hu Pinggu touched his head and said softly,
"Brother Xiong, if we can get a magical herb, it will just solve our urgent needs. Alas, what a pity, it seems that we have to think of another way."

The man surnamed Xiong turned around and looked at his wife with tenderness in his eyes, but he said nothing. It turned out that he was mute.

Later, he took a running start and ran to the edge of the island in a few steps. Then he leaped across half of the river and landed in the woods by the river. Then he strode away.

But Wu Jiuzhi was stepping on a log and floating down the river. When he passed a river bend, he found a strange man with disheveled clothes and a crazy face on the river bank. He was firing fire bombs and rockets at the grass and trees, causing fluctuations of magic power.

He quickly used his divine eye technique to take a look, and saw that the light of the Dharma vein on the person's body was also extremely unstable, with sometimes three layers, sometimes five layers, or completely disappeared, which was extremely unusual.

On the surface, his highest level of cultivation was only the fifth level, but the fire bombs he randomly fired were extremely powerful, not much different from the power fired by Wu Jiuji himself at the eighth level of Qi training. Therefore, Wu Jiuji did not dare to jump to conclusions.

After a brief thought, his eyes lit up again.

"Could it be that this person has encountered a problem in his cultivation and has been attacked by a demon in his heart?" Wu Jiuzhi observed carefully and found that the person's behavior was more and more consistent with his imagination. So he felt that he had encountered a rare opportunity. He slowly moved towards the shore and approached the person silently...

The crazy man, wearing a blue knight's uniform, was Mo Juren, who had just come out of Jiayuan City and regained his appearance as Zhang Tie.

After witnessing his father-in-law and his son committing suicide by burning themselves in front of him, he left the Jin Mansion seemingly calmly.

He should have returned to the Mo Mansion quickly to retrieve the important Nuan Yang Jade, but for some unknown reason, when he saw the perfect moonlight, he went straight out of the city, found a secluded valley beside the canal, took out the magical porcelain piece, and began to practice the Elephant Armor Skill.

As for the death of the first lady, Mo Juren thought that he had already let it go more than ten years ago.

Because of the martial arts he practiced in his early years, he looked feminine and handsome, while his first wife, Jin Honglan, was a strong woman who had always been a chivalrous woman.

After Mo Juren married Jin Honglan, he did not say openly that he was marrying into the family, but their wedding banquet was held at the Jin family and they lived in the Jin mansion. In fact, everyone treated him as a member of the Jin mansion.

Moreover, Jin Honglan likes to socialize with others and deal with underworld affairs, and always asks Mo Juren to give priority to the Golden Lion Escort Agency and the Brotherhood.

So later, after Mo Juren and Ma Kongtian and others formed the Jing Jiao Society, the conflict between him and the eldest lady and the Jin family intensified, until Jin Honglan was surrounded and killed...

After Mo Juren became the leader of the Jingjiao Society, unified Jiayuan City, and looked down upon Lanzhou, everyone would only flatter him, and at most would secretly say something bad about him in their hearts, but would not dare to question how he came to power.

Therefore, Jin Can's questioning before his death did not arouse much guilt in Mo Juren.

This is because Mo Juren himself has a clear mind. According to his thinking, as long as he is strong enough to overwhelm everyone, why should he care about how the world views him?

Evaluations such as being called a coward, killing his wife to get to the top, and deceiving the world to steal the fame, etc., should not affect him at all.

However, when Mo Juren was in the valley by the river, putting aside all distractions and concentrating on absorbing evil spirits and practicing the Elephant Armor Skill and the Heavenly Evil Sword Body, the magic power in his body suddenly became extremely difficult to control.

Under the influence of some unreasonable distracting thoughts, the evil spirit absorbed from the magical porcelain pieces began to move around randomly. It was not all controlled by the exercises and entered the dantian and the hidden acupoints. Some of it even began to affect his clear consciousness.

Mo Juren felt as if he was possessed, and the magic power in his body seemed to be burning.

He quickly interrupted his practice and put away the magical porcelain piece. Then he felt as if there was a pot of boiling water inside his body. His whole body was filled with hot steam, and his mind was full of thoughts about how to vent all this magic power.

So Mo Juren subconsciously used the fire bomb technique, which exploded into a bright flame.

Then he couldn't stop, using rockets, fire bombs, wind control techniques, evil spirit amplification, etc. He used the few spells he knew over and over again, firing them randomly, even rushing out of the valley and going to the river bank...
