Mortals: The Daily Life of Hidden Moon Sect

"Go and reflect on your mistakes underground forever." The Holy Emperor murmured, and the black smoke shrank smaller and smaller, eventually turning into a black light and disappearing into the ground.

The Taoist took a long breath and his face turned red. "Thank you Holy Emperor for your help, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous."

The Holy Emperor smiled slightly, and the staff in his hand turned into a point of light and disappeared. "We have more important things to discuss, please come with me."

After saying that, he floated away with the Taoist priest and quickly disappeared into the forest.
The Taoist priest followed Holy Emperor Tianyuan to a secret room, where there were many barriers and the light was dim.

The Holy Emperor held an oil lamp and sat down in front of a stone table. He smiled and said to the Taoist priest, "Please sit down and let us talk about the past."

The Taoist priest frowned slightly when he heard this and sat down opposite: "What you did seems to have determined that Ziying would appear here before me. Can you explain the reason?"

The Holy Emperor nodded: "To tell you the truth, I have already discovered that the demon escaped from the seal and acted secretly. So after learning that you knew him, I came to help in case of any unexpected events."

"That's it." The Taoist priest nodded clearly, "But you and I are both monks, why should we get involved in this dispute? We should stay away from the world."

"You are right." The Holy Emperor sighed, "However, some ancient friends are really worrying. We can only act secretly to resolve the crisis. But when we act secretly, we must be careful and find ourselves in a dilemma."

After hearing this, the Taoist priest pondered for a moment: "It seems that things are much more complicated than I know. We should act carefully and communicate more to resolve this crisis."

The Holy Emperor nodded, and the two seemed to have reached some kind of consensus.The candlelight danced in the stone chamber, reflecting their solemn faces.They knew that a bigger storm was coming.
In the secret room, the middle-aged Confucian scholar pushed up the glasses on the bridge of his nose and said to the Tianyuan Holy Emperor in a deep voice: "I'm afraid the information Zi Ying knows is extremely important. We must try to get it out of him. Maybe Master Jin Yue can tell him He does torture, and he's very accomplished at it."

After hearing this, the Holy Emperor pondered for a moment, nodded and said: "What you said makes sense. We must indeed try to obtain the Xiaoliu controlled by Ziying. However, we need to be cautious in the torture, and we cannot alert the snake. I will let Master Jinyue examine Ziying Make inquiries, but don’t be too obvious so as not to arouse his vigilance.”

The Confucian scholar pushed up his glasses: "I understand. In addition, in order to prevent leaks, we need to send some close disciples to secretly infiltrate the various races. This will inevitably involve taking some risks."

The Holy Emperor sighed: "You are right. We must act secretly and be cautious, otherwise the consequences will be disastrous. I have a few reliable disciples here. It should be feasible to send them to various tribes in batches. I hope they can return safely."

The two looked at each other and saw worry in each other's eyes.They know that it is extremely difficult to act secretly in a situation where major clans are tense and antagonistic. Their identities may be exposed at any time, leading to death.

In another corner, a pious old monk looked worried, his brows furrowed.The old monk expressed concern for those sent to the various tribes because they may face danger.He looked at the Holy Emperor with worried eyes.

"The performers of these tasks will undoubtedly face many tests and dangers." The old monk's voice was low and full of worry. "They need our support and our blessing."

The Holy Emperor understood the old monk's concerns and nodded in agreement. "You are right. We must assess the situation and act according to our capabilities. First send a group of disciples with stable qualifications and strong will to carry out the task. After they are familiar with the environment, we can then send more people."

Then he added: "We will try our best to ensure their safety. However, this task must not be underestimated, because it is related to the fate of the artifact."

The old monk continued: "However, we must try to obtain information about Ziying. Maybe those disciples can really bring out the Xuantian Spirit-Slaying Sword after entering the alien world, and then we will have the upper hand."

The Holy Emperor pondered for a moment: "What you said makes sense. We should secretly explore the whereabouts of the artifact and try to be one step ahead. It's just a risk to use young people. We must judge the situation and grasp the right measures."

The old monk nodded: "I understand. We will carefully consider every decision. In terms of force, we are inferior to other races, and we can only win with wisdom. I hope these young people who are still tempering can return safely and live up to our expectations."

The two looked at each other and saw worry and worry in each other's eyes.In the days to come, they are destined to be cautious and careful every step of the way.

The old monk and the Holy Emperor were discussing the plan to send young disciples, but little did they know that a strange light gradually flashed in the old monk's eyes.

"Your so-called plan is just self-deception in the end." The old monk suddenly spoke, with a bit of coldness in his voice.

The Holy Emperor and the Confucian scholar were both slightly startled and looked at the old monk without knowing why.

"Hahahaha!" The old monk laughed wildly a few times, his figure gradually distorted, and returned to the appearance of Ziying: "If a mere possession can't trap me, how can you ants trap me!"

"How is that possible! Aren't you sealed?" The Holy Emperor's expression changed drastically, and he hurriedly pulled out his staff to prepare.

"Tch, I've already set up a back-up plan, it's just a clone." Ziying sneered: "It seems you don't know me well enough. Today I will completely annihilate you!"

After saying that, he suddenly grew in size and turned into a huge demon and rushed towards the two of them.The Holy Emperor and the Confucian scholars tried their best to resist, but they also fell into a hard fight.

"Hahaha, let me see how long you can last!" Ziying kept laughing ferociously, not taking the two of them seriously at all.

At this moment, several golden lights suddenly appeared in the air, and several experts appeared in the air, holding magic weapons and hitting Ziying.

"The way of heaven is awe-inspiring, we use the law to control evil!" Everyone chanted in unison, and blasted spells at Ziying.Ziying was unable to dodge and was forced to retreat.

The Holy Emperor and the Confucian scholars took the opportunity to fight with everyone and tried their best to imprison Ziying again.Everyone took out several packages of yellow rattan in succession and wrapped the purple shadow layer by layer.

With the help of several experts, the Tianyuan Holy Emperor and the middle-aged Confucian scholars finally imprisoned and restrained the arrogant and domineering Ziying again.

I saw everyone entangling the purple shadow layer by layer, and a puff of light yellow smoke rose up. The purple shadow was forced to reveal its original shape and turned into a black demon with blood-red eyes.

"You ants, don't be complacent. Sooner or later I will break out of the encirclement and slaughter all of you!" Ziying roared, but was completely trapped in the magic circle and unable to move.

"Thank you all for your help, brothers, so that we can control this demon again." The Holy Emperor smiled slightly and greeted the experts with fists in their hands.

All the experts also responded to the Holy Emperor with clasped fists.The leader said: "When we come this time, we have set up a five-element boundary around us. Let's see if he can escape this time!"

The Holy Emperor nodded, held the staff, and recited the spell together with everyone. Rays of golden light shot at the purple shadow, imprisoning it in a magic circle.

"Go and reflect on your crimes in hell forever!" The Holy Emperor muttered words, and the purple shadow let out a shrill wail. The figure gradually dissipated, and finally turned into a black smoke and disappeared into the ground.

The Holy Emperor and the experts all breathed a sigh of relief, their faces full of relief.

After dealing with Ziying, Emperor Tianyuan thought for a moment, and then whispered to the old monk: "This incident happened suddenly, and we should learn from it. In the future, we may have to go further into the wild world, and we will face more challenges." The old monk nodded: "Indeed, the wild world is full of unknowns. We must be vigilant."

The Holy Emperor continued: "Lin Mo, who was accompanying me this time, I discovered that he was actually using the flying sword left by the legendary Qingyangzi. I never expected that the divine sword would appear in his hands."

The old monk was a little surprised after hearing this: "Qingyangzi's flying sword? That is the only half-step artifact in the world. It is really surprising that Lin Mo can control it."

The Holy Emperor nodded: "Not only that, the moment he drew his sword, I felt the aura emanating from him become extremely cold and deep, which made me shudder. Perhaps we should pay more attention to this young man. I'm afraid there are secrets hidden in him. Quite a few."

The old monk pondered for a long time and then nodded.

Lin Mo, who was standing aside, felt a hint of surprise in his heart when he heard them discussing him.

Unexpectedly, the Holy Emperor could see the origin of Feijian at a glance. It seemed that the secret he had been carefully hiding might have been seen through by them.

However, Lin Mo didn't show anything, he just stood aside quietly and remained silent.

He was indeed a little surprised by the name Qingyangzi.The owner of Feijian seemed to have experienced some unknown things just like himself.

But Lin Mo didn't intend to comment too much on their discussion, and continuing to remain silent was the best choice now.

He understands the caution of the Holy Emperor and the shrewdness of the old monk. After all, it is best to slowly reveal these secrets of the past by himself.

Lin Mo secretly considered many possibilities in his heart, but there was no emotion on his face.He just stood quietly, saying nothing.

After listening to the discussion between the Holy Emperor and the old monk, Lin Mo stood silently for a while, but did not join in their conversation.

He exhaled softly, turned around slowly, ignored the two of them, and came to a corner of the cabin to sit down alone.

Lin Mo didn't want to talk too much about his past, let alone the mysterious flying sword.

He needs to meditate, clarify his thoughts, and figure out the next direction.

Rather than being led by others, it is more important to think for yourself.Lin Mo closed his eyes and began to sort out all the information in his mind.

The past is past, the present is the most important thing.What he needs to do is to improve his strength in order to cope with the various challenges in the future.

Lin Mo decided not to pay attention to other people, and concentrating on meditation was the best option at the moment.

Seeing Lin Mo leaving alone without saying anything, the old monk and the Holy Emperor did not force him to stay, and each retreated to the side to sit quietly and practice.

When Xiaohong saw this, she ignored the others and quietly returned to her cabin, seemingly thinking about something.

Ye Ying leaned against the wall, closed her eyes gently, and fell into silence with a peaceful expression.

The young man with white eyebrows looked around and saw no one around, then took out an ancient book from his arms and read it.

Lin Mo sat in the corner, closing his eyes and relaxing.

Silence returned to the spirit boat, and only the gentle breeze and rustling sounds could be heard.

Everyone is immersed in their own world, practicing, thinking, or resting, and they will start a new chapter when they arrive at their destination.

Lin Mo was sitting on the spirit boat meditating. Suddenly, he frowned slightly and opened his eyes. "What's wrong?" Long Dong asked with concern.Lin Mo said in a deep voice: "I sense a powerful energy appearing not far away. You should also be vigilant."

Everyone was shocked and immediately released their spiritual consciousness to explore the surroundings.At this moment, a thunder struck across the sky, and a huge figure appeared from the clouds. It turned out to be a huge thunder turtle! "This is the ancient beast thunder turtle!" Xiao Hong exclaimed, "Although it is not real. Spiritual, but also very powerful!”

The Thunder Turtle is completely black, its body is covered with dark clouds, and its eyes emit blue lightning.It was suspended in mid-air, looking coldly at the people on the spirit boat, as if judging their strength.

"Don't panic, everyone." Lin Mo said calmly, "Although the Thunder Turtle is strong, it is not our opponent. We just keep moving forward and don't anger it impulsively." After saying that, he drove the spirit boat to continue moving forward.

The spirit boat accelerated its flight for a while, and Lin Mo and others breathed a sigh of relief, as it seemed to have left the thunder turtle's range.At this moment, there was a sudden earth-shattering thunder from behind!
Everyone looked back and saw that the Thunder Turtle was actually catching up. The lightning flashed in its mouth, as if it was about to strike with thunder!
"Quick! Accelerate with all your strength!" Lin Mo shouted.Long Dong drove the spirit boat to its maximum speed without hesitation, and drew a line of light and shadow in the air to escape quickly.

The Thunder Turtle let out an angry roar, spread its wings, and pursued quickly.Lin Mo's face was solemn. The strength of this thunder turtle was far beyond imagination. Even if it flew at full speed, it could not be shaken away.

"Everyone think of a way to get rid of it!" Lin Mo said.Everyone looked at each other in confusion. This Thunder Turtle was coming in a menacing manner, and it was really not that easy to get rid of it.

Just when Thunder Turtle was about to catch up, Ye Ying plucked the pipa and played a string of rapid notes.This note seemed to contain some mysterious power, and the Thunder Turtle's speed slowed down significantly.

"Good opportunity! Hurry!" Lin Mo drove the spirit boat forward again.Everyone joined forces and used various means to finally get rid of the Thunder Turtle's pursuit amidst the thunder, but they also understood that this was only temporary.

Everyone had just escaped the Thunder Turtle's pursuit, and before they could catch their breath, bolts of lightning suddenly exploded in the sky above their heads, and the blue electric light illuminated the surroundings. "This is a thunderstorm caused by a thunder turtle!" Xiao Hong exclaimed.Just listen to the rumbling thunder, thunder and lightning gathered in the clouds, and the blue electric light illuminated the entire sky as bright as day.

"It's too dangerous. This thunderstorm is so powerful. We must leave quickly!" Lin Mo shouted.

Longdong quickly drove the spirit boat, but the thunderstorm was too large and was about to envelop it.

"Let me try!" Ye Ying plucked the pipa and played a rapid and high-pitched sound.The power contained in the sound waves formed a circle of spatial ripples, blocking the incoming thunderstorm.

"Good opportunity! Go at full speed!" Under the protection of Ye Ying's sound waves, Lin Mo and Long Dong jointly drove the spirit boat and flew away into the distance.

At this moment, a shocking thunder and lightning struck above his head, and Ye Ying's sonic protective shield collapsed instantly. "Oops!" Long Dong shouted, and the spirit boat suddenly accelerated and finally flew out of the range of the thunderstorm. (End of chapter)
