Although the Ye family is a royal family, its position in the entire Jin Dynasty is extremely embarrassing. To put it bluntly, they are just puppets supported by good and evil.
It was fine at first, but with the continuous management and development over the years, the Ye family's strength gradually increased, and prevention and suppression followed one after another.
The cruelty is unimaginable. Over the years, whenever someone with excellent talents appears in the Ye family, they will be focused on.
It's okay if it can't grow up. Once there are signs of rising, they will take action without mercy.
Similar situations have happened more than once. In the history of the Ye family, there have been many ancestors who have reached the peak cultivation level of the middle Nascent Soul and are expected to break through to the later stages. However, without exception, they all suffered disasters.
Up to now, the entire Ye family's late-stage Nascent Soul masters have always remained at the same level, which is the limit that both good and evil can accept.
The bitterness and frustration in this can be imagined.
Naturally, the Ye family was not willing to do this, and had been trying their best to think of a way to break the situation. Fortunately, Huangtian paid off and spent countless time and effort, and finally saw a glimmer of hope.
For this reason, over the years, in addition to making secret plans, the Ye family has also been trying every possible way to accumulate strength. In addition to people from their own clan, they have also continued to recruit strong people from foreign clans.
During an outing ten years ago, the square-faced monk met a fellow monk from overseas by chance. After communicating with him, he learned that the other person was a casual cultivator with no sect.
This was of course the best thing. Even though he expressed his solicitation attitude, the other party did not refuse, and eventually became one of the elders of the Ye family with a foreign surname.
For this person, the square-faced monk attaches great importance to him, not only because of his strength, but because of his familiarity with a lot of information from ancient times, which will be of great help to the Ye family's next big plan.
But now an accident happened. It was not an accident, but something strange. An overseas monk appeared again. Not only did he have the same surname as the elder Mo whom he recruited, but his appearance was also very similar.
This is interesting. Could it be that he is a brother of the other party?
"Do you want to inform Elder Mo? After all, if the other person is really a relative, maybe we can win him over in the same way? Although I can't determine the specific cultivation level of that person, it is definitely above the early stage of Nascent Soul." Ye Yunge thought for a moment and then asked.
.
"It is indeed a good suggestion." The square-faced monk nodded, obviously agreeing with this.
"It would be great to be able to win over a strong person in the Nascent Soul stage, but we can't be too hasty. I will go to Elder Mo personally to inquire about the situation. If it is suitable, it will not be too late to take action."
"Second uncle has thought carefully. It is related to the future of our clan and we cannot act rashly. Then I will leave this matter to you. My niece will leave first." Ye Yunge bowed slightly again, then turned and left without hesitation.
"This girl, it seems she still has a grudge against that matter!" Looking at the other person's disappearing back, the square-faced monk couldn't help but sigh.
He didn't dwell on the matter, and then turned around and walked in another direction.
Not long after, in a secret room of a mansion somewhere in the imperial city, pitch-black evil energy filled the room, and a huge two-headed demon loomed, with its eyes shining in black and purple, making it look extremely ferocious and terrifying.
I don't know how long it took, but a low shout suddenly sounded from the demon's mouth, and the surrounding demonic energy instantly began to roll, pouring into the demon's body like hundreds of rivers flowing back.
At the same time, his four palms pinched the magic formula at the same time, and his huge body exploded, transforming into a tall and tall middle-aged man with a handsome face in the black light.
This demon is none other than the ancient demon Blood Flame that ran out of the Falling Demon Valley. If Mo Juren were here and saw his face, he would definitely curse.
Is this guy doing it on purpose? Using his appearance to make trouble in Dajin, and even cheating, isn't this just letting him take the blame?
To be honest, Ancient Demon really didn't think so. He must be cautious and low-key before completing the big thing, otherwise if he makes too many enemies, it will add infinite variables.
That person surnamed Mo is too evil. He has such terrifying strength in the early stage of Nascent Soul. What if he grows up again?
His previous experience in Tiannan had left him mentally disturbed by the other party.
He has more important things to do, and there must be no accidents during this period. What if that guy comes to Dajin on a whim?
This is not impossible, he must be on guard against this. If it really comes, and he disguises himself as the other person and goes on a killing spree, he will definitely not be able to hide it, and he will probably come to his door immediately.
Wouldn't that be terrible, delaying the business and leaving you with no place to cry?
The reason why he still changed into the appearance of Mo Juren was completely out of heed. Later, when he came to Jin Dynasty, he secretly hunted some Nascent Soul monks and did it cleanly without being discovered.
While he was thinking about it, he suddenly turned his head and looked outside the secret room, his brows furrowed involuntarily.
"I told him before that I was going to retreat. Why did I come here so suddenly?" A dark light flashed in Ancient Demon's eyes, but he didn't hesitate and immediately stood up and left the secret room.
Soon after, in the hall.
After hearing the purpose of the square-faced monk's visit, the ancient demon was dumbfounded and sat in his seat for a long time without regaining consciousness.
What's going on, that hateful guy is really here?
I am simply speechless. You are doing well in Tiannan, why are you going to Dajin?
He was really afraid that what he was most worried about had happened. Although the two parties had reached a superficial reconciliation before, who knew whether this guy would do something wrong?
This is a completely uncontrollable existence. He must stay away as much as possible, especially before the big thing is completed. As for the future, once the Holy Ancestor is out of trouble, he will naturally no longer need to care.
Thinking of this, he immediately showed a trace of embarrassment on his face and sighed softly:
"This person does have some relationship with me. I can't reveal the specific details, but one thing is that I must not let him know my existence, otherwise things will be in trouble."
"Uh..." Hearing such an answer, the square-faced monk was stunned for a moment, wondering if there was hatred, otherwise why would he be so evasive?
He was extremely curious, but unfortunately the other party didn't want to tell him, so he couldn't ask more questions.
As for the idea of recruiting, forget it. If you do it forcefully, if it arouses the dissatisfaction of the people in front of you and eventually leads to no one being retained, then the gain will really outweigh the loss.
He no longer mentioned the matter, and instead began to ask about the other party's injury. When he learned that he had not fully recovered, he immediately stated that if he needed anything, he could just ask.
"I know the injury well, and there will be no problem. But I wonder if Fellow Daoist Ye has any clues about the matter I asked you about before?" Ancient Demon's eyes flashed, and he suddenly asked.
"Even if Fellow Daoist Mo doesn't ask, I will take the initiative to inform you. A member of the Ye family outside has sent back the message that the ancient magic weapon has been obtained and will be sent to Jinjing City in a short time." The square-faced monk said.
He announced the good news with a smile. As for why the other party wanted to collect these things, he was very sensible and didn't ask any more questions.
"Thank you so much, Fellow Daoist Ye." After hearing this news, the ancient demon suddenly felt secretly happy. Previously, because of Mo's relentless pursuit, he only got one magic weapon in Tiannan, which was obviously not enough.
After coming to Dajin, I got another piece by chance, but I didn't gain anything after that. Fortunately, as the Ye family is a royal family, with eyes and ears all over the world, it is just right to help.
"For me, the more of these things, the better. I hope fellow Taoist Ye can continue to help collect one or two. Mo is very grateful."
"It's a little trivial matter. Fellow Daoist Mo, there's no need to be polite. Don't worry, I'll let them continue searching." The square-faced monk immediately made a promise without any hesitation.
With such an attitude, Gu Mo naturally thanked him again and again, and the conversation between the two parties became more and more harmonious.
…
Mo Juren naturally didn't know what happened in the imperial city. Of course, even if he knew, he would only be slightly surprised and not pay too much attention.
As for the Ye family's solicitation, even if it was proposed, he would not agree to it, let alone that it was not possible.
The identity of the Ye family is too special, so superficial communication is nothing, but if they get too close, the gains outweigh the losses.
At this time, he was standing somewhere, looking at the Lu family's old house in front of him, his eyes thoughtful. The next moment, with a flash of white light, the whole person disappeared.
The Lu family's old house was pitch black at night and looked particularly peaceful. There weren't many people there, and naturally there were even fewer people moving late at night.
However, in a bamboo forest in the back garden, there was a thin figure sitting cross-legged.
The figure is young, only in his early ten years, and his clothes are extremely ordinary, but his appearance is quite delicate. I believe that with a little grooming, he can look like a handsome young man.
At this time, the boy was obviously not in good condition. With his eyes closed, his whole body was already soaked with sweat. His face was twitching and twisted from time to time, looking extremely painful, and his whole body was even slightly trembling.
Suddenly, his face suddenly turned pale, and with a 'wow' sound, a mouthful of blood spurted out, and the aura around him became weak.
The young man couldn't help but flash a trace of disappointment in his eyes, but it was fleeting. He soon regained his energy again and murmured:
"I can't give up, otherwise what will happen to my mother? What will happen to my little sister? Are they waiting for me all the time?"
As he said that, he planned to start practicing again, but at this moment, a strange voice suddenly sounded in his ears:
"If you continue, I'm afraid your life will be in danger."
"Who? Who's there!" The young man was startled by this sudden change. He quickly stood up and looked in a certain direction, asking with a vigilant face. As the voice fell, a figure slowly walked out of the darkness, impressively.
It's Mo Juren.
"You... dare to ask who this senior is? What's going on when you come to the Lu Mansion late at night?" The moment he saw the other person, the young man understood that he was not simple, and his attitude immediately became respectful.
"He's quite clever, not bad." Mo Juren nodded slightly, looked at the other person for a while, and suddenly asked,
"Are you Lu Han, the son of Lu Yunguang, the third elder of the Lu family?"
"Lu Yunguang!" Upon hearing this name, the young man suddenly looked serious.
"I don't have a father, and he doesn't deserve it either."
"It seems right." Mo Juren nodded. He had already done some research during the day and knew some of the boy's situation. Now he can be sure.
This son seems to be Lu Yunguang's illegitimate son. He was taken into the Lu family's home when he was two years old. It is said that he has high qualifications, but he was unable to practice in depth due to congenital health problems, so he was sent to this old Lu family's house three years ago.
Of course, this was only a brief understanding of the situation, and it was obviously not detailed enough. From just the young man's performance, it can be inferred that there must be some unknown secrets.
After a pause, he continued,
"If my guess is correct, there should be a problem with the meridians in your body, which prevents the spiritual energy from flowing smoothly. If you continue to practice forcefully, the problem will inevitably become more and more serious, and the veins may even go retrograde and become possessed."
"What the senior said is true. There are three blocked meridians in the boy's body. Although he can barely practice, he can only stay at the early stage of Qi training and cannot go further."
"Since you know, why do you still practice forcefully? Aren't you afraid of death?" Mo Juren's eyes flashed slightly and he asked with interest.
"There's nothing terrible about death. It's over as soon as you close your eyes. Don't take it too easy. Living is the most difficult, especially living with humiliation. It's even more difficult." The young man smiled miserably, with a flash in his eyes.
The vicissitudes of life that don’t match your age.
"It's rare to have such insights at such a young age." Mo Juren nodded, but suddenly raised his arm and pressed it on the other person's vest.
The young man was shocked and instinctively wanted to avoid it, but suddenly found that he couldn't do it.
After reacting, his heart moved, and he stopped resisting.
He vaguely guessed what the other party wanted to do. Although he didn't know who the other party was and why he did it, he couldn't help but feel a little bit of anticipation in his heart.
A slight chill suddenly poured in from the vest. It started like a gentle drizzle, and soon became more and more intense, and finally turned into a torrent that spread all over the body in an instant.
He felt as if his whole body was frozen, and he couldn't help but shiver. Until a moment later, a trace of warmth suddenly appeared, and he returned to normal.
At this time, the other party had already retracted his palm. Before he could ask what was going on, he suddenly discovered to his surprise that the three meridians that were originally blocked in his body had been opened up.
He felt unprecedentedly happy, and he was even more shocked.
You must know that the situation in his body is far from simple. The reason why the three meridians are blocked is that Shang encountered a conspiracy when he was young and was poisoned by some extremely strange poison.
According to the irresponsible father, this poison is extremely special. Although I don't know the name, it is no less difficult to deal with than the legendary Ten Poisons.
He was too young when he was poisoned, so his vitality was naturally extremely fragile and could not be forcibly removed.
At first, the toxicity only affected one meridian, but as time passed, the toxin slowly spread, and now it has reached three.
Those toxins are completely integrated with the three meridians and are inseparable. Not to mention several powerful people in the Lu family's Dan Formation stage, even those in the Nascent Soul stage are helpless.
It is simply unbelievable that the person in front of me can solve such a difficult problem so easily.
