#214 - Someone is locked up!

Watching the letter being slipped through the crack in the door, Mo Zhu'er slapped away Jiang Ruyan's groping hand.

Mo Zhu'er sat up from the bed, walked to the door, and picked up the letter.

There was a black lotus seal on the envelope.

Mo Zhu'er carefully examined it.

This was indeed the Black Lotus Sect's seal, which could not be imitated by others.

"A new order from the Black Lotus Sect?" Jiang Ruyan swayed her waist as she walked forward, placing her hands on Mo Zhu'er's shoulders. "Why is it being sent now?"

"Who knows? Let's take a look."

Mo Zhu'er turned around and sat on a chair, opening the letter.

Jiang Ruyan was originally a member of the Black Lotus Sect, just acting as a spy in the Central Plains (because the Ten Great Dynasties of the Human Race are located in the center, all countries and sects of the Human Race Dynasty are collectively referred to as the Central Plains), so she didn't avoid anything and leaned on Mo Zhu'er's shoulder to watch.

However, the more they read, the more Mo Zhu'er and Jiang Ruyan frowned.

When Mo Zhu'er and Jiang Ruyan's gazes simultaneously reached the last word of the letter, the letter spontaneously ignited with a black flame and turned to ashes.

"The Black Lotus Sect is... truly quite bold," Jiang Ruyan said, looking at Mo Zhu'er.

Recalling the plans mentioned in the letter just now, Jiang Ruyan felt extremely shocked just thinking about it.

Mo Zhu'er shook her head: "It's not the Black Lotus Sect that's being bold, but the Sect Master of the Heavenly Mystery Sect. It seems that this Heavenly Mystery Sect Master doesn't want to stay in the Central Plains anymore. People like that are really too vicious."

Jiang Ruyan sat next to Mo Zhu'er, no longer as playful as before: "For a cultivator, realm is more important than life. That Heavenly Mystery Sect Master has been stuck in the Immortal Realm for thousands of years. It's not surprising that he would take such actions.

For him, the Heavenly Mystery Sect is just a tool.

The main thing is, what do we do now? This mission is a bit dangerous."

"We have to do it even if it's dangerous. Otherwise, it won't be just the Heavenly Mystery Sect Master who has nowhere to go, but we will be hunted down by the Western Regions and the Central Plains. The Black Lotus Sect attaches great importance to this cooperation with the Heavenly Mystery Sect Master."

Mo Zhu'er looked out the window, the corners of her mouth slightly raised, as if a man appeared in Mo Zhu'er's vision:

"You always say I'm a demon, so what are you upright sects doing?"

"Who are you talking to?" Jiang Ruyan asked, watching Mo Zhu'er talking to herself, smiling. Ever since she met Mo Zhu'er this time, Jiang Ruyan always felt that there was someone hidden in his heart.

Mo Zhu'er's eyes curved: "Talking to an idiot."

[Detected that the host has defeated Qing Ling of the Heavenly Mystery Sect, Lin Xiao of the Heavenly Mystery Sect, Qin Wen of the Heavenly Mystery Sect, Xiao Yanan of the Heavenly Mystery Sect, and Xiao Yan of the Heavenly Mystery Sect...

The host has defeated a total of two hundred and one people, and the comprehensive settlement is: Blood Qi +500, Sword Qi +400, Sword Intent +500, Endurance +100.

Rewarded host with passive skill - Enemy of Many (Evolvable).]

[Enemy of Hundreds: When the host faces enemies below one hundred, the more enemies there are, the stronger the host's combat power. When the number of enemies reaches ninety-nine, 'Enemy of Hundreds' is strengthened to its limit.

Note: 'Enemy of Hundreds' only provides the host with strengthening and a higher probability of survival. Please do not court death.]

[The host defeated He Qingqing of the Heavenly Mystery Sect, Blood Qi +40, Sword Intent +50, Sword Intent +50. Since the host's birth, up to now, he has obtained the achievement of defeating women - Ruthless Flower Destroyer.]

[Ruthless Flower Destroyer: The host's damage is increased by 10% when fighting against the opposite sex.]

[The host fought against Chen Yun of the Heavenly Mystery Sect, Chen Yun conceded, Blood Qi +100, Sword Qi +100, Sword Intent +100.]

That night.

Xu Ming, lying on the bed, slowly opened his eyes.

Listening to the system's voice, Xu Ming felt that this reward was quite generous, at least he got two useful passive skills.

As for the small reward for fighting Chen Yun, it was also within Xu Ming's expectations.

Although he won against Chen Yun, it was also because Chen Yun conceded. In fact, he should have lost.

Under such circumstances, Xu Ming was already very surprised that the system could give him a reward.

Xu Ming sat up, walked out of the courtyard, and felt a little sleepless in the evening breeze.

It wasn't the system's voice that woke Xu Ming up and prevented him from falling asleep.

But Xu Ming hadn't fallen asleep in bed in the first place.

It wasn't because it was Xu Ming's first day at the Heavenly Mystery Sect and he was a little picky about the bed.

He had been sleeping in the open for the past six months, sleeping on rocks, sleeping on sand, and trying dirt. Xu Ming was no longer qualified to be picky about the bed, because there were hardly any days when he could sleep on a bed.

It's just that Xu Ming always felt that his Dao heart was a little unstable.

Not because he was injured.

It's just that I always have a bad feeling... I always feel that something is going to happen.

"Could it be that I have been living uneasily recently, and now that I am stable, I think too much?"

Xu Ming said to himself, thinking that there was such a possibility, that he was too sensitive.

The Zixia Grand Ceremony is about to begin, who would dare to come to the Heavenly Mystery Sect to make trouble?

Not to mention that the Heavenly Mystery Sect has cultivators in the Upper Five Realms sitting in town, as well as a sect-protecting formation that has been passed down for ten thousand years, and even the envoys who came to the Heavenly Mystery Sect to offer gifts are of no low realm.

If someone really wants to cause trouble at this time, it's not just offending one Heavenly Mystery Sect.

But offending several large and small forces.

So during this time, nothing will definitely happen to the Heavenly Mystery Sect.

However, just as Xu Ming turned around and wanted to go back, Xu Ming turned around as if he felt something.

Xu Ming always felt that there was something in the sky over there.

Xu Ming activated his Dao Pattern Eye and looked towards the sky.

As a result, Xu Ming saw a dazzling and gorgeous aurora in the sky over there.

Xu Ming flew into the air and looked further into the distance.

Xu Ming was sure that this aurora came from a mountain.

This mountain has extremely rich spiritual power, and this rich spiritual power blooms from the inside out.

Just when Xu Ming was about to look inside the mountain, Xu Ming's expression froze.

Inside this mountain, there is an old man, the old man has disheveled hair, and his whole body is covered with scars. This old man is bound by chains all over his body, and a dozen long nails pierce through his body, pinning him to the wall.

The old man seemed to sense the gaze of an outsider, the old man raised his head and met Xu Ming's eyes in the distance, the old man grinned.

In an instant, Xu Ming felt a burst of stinging pain in his eyes.

Xu Ming immediately closed his eyes, and tears kept streaming from the corners of Xu Ming's eyes.

After a long time, the stinging pain in Xu Ming's eyes slowly disappeared.

When Xu Ming opened his eyes again, the Dao Pattern Eye was already closed.

Looking at the mountain in the distance, Xu Ming was extremely shocked.

Under that mountain.

There's someone locked up!
