In silence, time seems to pass exceptionally long.
Jiang Li lightly tapped the leader's order with his finger.
In the outside world, three auras of people at the level of God Transformation suddenly burst out and disappeared in a flash.
The spreading power penetrated the thick mountain, and even the smallest bit of dust was shaken off from above.
Others may not be able to feel it, but Granny Zi, who is also a deity, can certainly do it.
Her eyes changed, but in the end they turned into helplessness. Older people always have more concerns than young people and are more likely to compromise.
Finally, the old woman sighed, bent her hunched body even more, and said so.
"Alliance Master Jiang is my Mo Sect's guest, no one is allowed to be rude!"
"Alliance Master Jiang, this is my fault. Please forgive me!"
Jiang Li grabbed the coffin that fell back into his hands, and said nothing, just staring at the other party. His meaning was very clear, he would not accept this verbal apology.
He is not a casual cultivator without a backer or background, and he can't be made to swallow his anger with just one sentence. If Mo Men can't give him a satisfactory answer, he will call for help.
"We, the Mo Sect, are willing to compensate Alliance Leader Jiang with three Nascent Soul-level guardian puppets as an apology."
Realizing that Jiang Li was not easy to fool, Granny Zi could only offer a little compensation in order to keep the matter quiet.
But the voices of opposition came again.
"No, Granny Zi, those are puppets made by our sect elders! How can we hand them over to outsiders! That would be a blasphemy to our ancestors who sacrificed their lives!"
The old woman pressed down on her crutch, causing Pang Zun to kneel down on the ground and be unable to speak for a while.
"The new Mozi has not yet been chosen, so I have the final say now."
"But please forgive me, Lord Jiang. Right now, our Mo Sect is facing a life-and-death situation. As long as the war is over, we will pay it along with other rewards as agreed."
Hearing this, Jiang Li couldn't help but laugh. It was hard to say whether Mo Men could still exist after this incident.
This is trying to get something for nothing. If Jiang Li wants to get the reward, he has to make an effort to protect Mo Men and then see the other party fulfill this verbal promise.
Just a puppet made of three Yuanying corpses, and he thinks so much, is he worthy? "Since these are the corpses of your ancestors, I am not the kind of person who forces others to do anything."
"I can refuse an apology, or the reward for enlightening the puppets. I can even send a large number of monks to help you overcome this difficulty."
"How about this, if you, Mo Sect, join my Chongshan League, I promise that I won't impose too many restrictions on you. You only need to contribute more than 600,000 military merits, and not only will you no longer have to face casualties, I can also guarantee that you will remain free in the future, and no one will impose any restrictions on you."
Jiang Li proposed this condition again. Compared with other sects, the conditions he offered were actually quite generous.
Those more than 600,000 merits are no longer of any value to them now, because judging from the situation of Mo Men, it is impossible for them to make up the remaining merits.
As long as it is less than one million, it is just a number. Not only will it not bring any benefits, but it will also cause a lot of troubles or even a catastrophic disaster.
Especially when there are only a few big cats and small cats left in Momen, anyone can bully them.
In response to this, the other Mo Sect disciples looked at each other, clearly having obvious intentions.
But Jiang Li was still rejected.
"I'm very sorry, those achievements were all gained by my disciples at the cost of their lives."
"Now the Sect Master has unfortunately passed away. Without the Sect Master's Mozi order, none of us has the right to make this decision."
This old woman's rigidity is really frustrating.
There are less than a thousand of you left in total, and only a few high-level officials. Can't you elect another leader?
But no matter what he said, the old woman refused to give in.
"The conditions offered by our Chongshan League should be the best among all other forces."
"You, Momen, are unwilling to pay and are not willing to join. I don't see any sincerity in cooperation. If that's the case, then I think there is no need to continue our deal."
"Good luck to you! If you can survive the attack of the Iron Wolf Sect, the Chongshan League will be happy to trade with you again."
Jiang Li originally thought that the reason why the negotiations had not been successful was that the price was not right or that his subordinates were unable to make the decision.
Therefore, he came to Qianluo City in person, wanting to negotiate again with the top leaders of Momen.
Unexpectedly, what stopped their plan was the ignorance of the older generation.
With a wave of his hand, he released the Wooden Dragon Sky-Splitting Seat and was about to leave along the same path he came from.
"Wait a moment, if Alliance Leader Jiang is willing to help us enlighten the puppet, I can make the decision and let Alliance Leader Jiang try the Mozi Trial."
"If the leader can pass, he will be able to obtain the Mozi Order of our Mo Sect. With the Mozi Order in hand, my Mo Sect disciples will obey."
Before leaving, Granny Zi called Jiang Li over and proposed this plan.
The rules of this Mo Sect are very ancient and rigid.
The way to select the leader of each generation of Momen is not through the election of leaders, but through a special trial.
As long as someone passes, he will be trained as the next generation of Mozi. If no one passes, even if Mozi dies, this position will remain vacant until someone passes.
It is true that Mo Clan had a reserve Mozi before, but unfortunately, in the final battle, both Mozi and the reserve Mozi were killed, so that until now, there is not even someone to take charge of the overall situation.
"This is impossible. He is an outsider! How can he participate in our most sacred trial? This is against the rules!"
Pang Xun still had the determination to kill Jiang Li, so he jumped out to oppose again.
He didn't even think about who was responsible for the situation that had gotten to this point. "No, this is actually in accordance with the rules. Historically, the second generation Mozi and the seventh generation Mozi were not originally disciples of this sect."
"They all have a predestined relationship with our Mo Sect. After passing the Mozi Trial, they finally became Mozi."
Granny Zi is worthy of being an old lady, she knows the history of her ancestors very clearly.
"Master Jiang, what do you think?"
The Mo Sect has not yet chosen a leader even at this point in time, which shows that what Mo Zi said about the trial is true.
But no one in their entire sect could pass. Under normal circumstances, the possibility of his success should not be high.
He now had reason to suspect that the Mo Clan just didn't want to reward Dian Yao, and came up with this Mozi trial with an extremely low success rate to fool him.
"I want to know what the content of Mozi's trial is?"
Jiang Li asked cautiously.
"This... Mozi's trial is to go to the heart of the city and gain the recognition of this mechanical Qianluo City. However, we are not sure what kind of test Qianluo City will give. But Alliance Leader Jiang can rest assured that there have never been casualties in the trial."
What the other party said was basically the same as not saying anything. But is obtaining the recognition of Qianluo City a special traditional recognition ceremony? Jiang Li was silent, thinking about the pros and cons.
If I fail the test, then all my work will be in vain.
For him, enlightening the wood demon essentially means consuming a large amount of spiritual energy. He can ask the other party to pay spirit stones to replenish the consumption, so the loss is not that much.
But if successful, 600,000 merits can be obtained, and perhaps even an ancient mechanical city.
After much deliberation, he finally agreed.
"Okay, but before that, he attacked me and tried to kill me, so he must apologize and kowtow!"
Jiang Li pointed at Pang Xun who was pinned down by a cane.
The Mo Sect, who were enduring the shortage, would never kill one of their few remaining Nascent Souls because of him.
But an apology is always something you should do.
If anger could turn into fire, Pang Xun's rage would surely burn Jiang Lidu, who has excellent fire resistance, into ashes.
But unfortunately, he did not master this advanced method.
"Pang Xun, you shouldn't have taken the Divine Crossbow privately. For the sake of the sect, please bear with it."
The old woman was silent for a while, but finally she grabbed the snake-head crutch and exerted force again, pressing the Nascent Soul Pang Xun to the ground.
The man tried to prop himself up, his face flushed, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't move at all.
"Is Alliance Leader Jiang satisfied?"
Jiang Li nodded, feeling very relieved.
This work is organized and uploaded by Liujiu Book Bar~~
They were sworn enemies, so he never minded giving his enemies more trouble.
"That would be the best. Tomorrow at noon, we will prepare everything and wait for Master Jiang to come."
"Alliance Master Jiang is also tired. Xiaoyao, take Alliance Master Jiang to the guest room."
Jiang Li followed Zi Yao towards an elevator. When he passed by Pang Xun, he paused.
"Not only should you apologize to me, you should also pray that we can get your Mozi Order, so that the Mo Sect can join the Chongshan League and get our protection."
After saying this, he walked away under the murderous gaze of the other party.
Qianluo City is an underground multi-layered city structure.
The lowest level is the underground transfer center that connects various passages.
All external materials are transported from here.
Above are the residential areas and functional areas one after another. It must be said that Qianluo City is really not small, and it is no problem to accommodate tens of thousands of people for long-term residence.
But at this time, many places in the city seemed deserted and empty.
There were only a few hundred disciples left in the entire Mo Sect. If the Iron Wolf Sect found this place, if nothing unexpected happened, they might not even be able to withstand the first wave of attacks.
Although the Mo Men Qian Luo City is good at defense, it is said that it can withstand enemies that are ten times its number.
But now, they have too few people, not even enough to operate the mechanism. This is also an important reason why they urgently need to enlighten the puppets, so that the puppets can replace humans and operate the defense mechanism.
Jiang Li was brought into a luxurious guest room, where almost everything was mechanical, even the chairs were foldable. This sect was extremely obsessed with strange mechanical arts.
"Alliance Leader Jiang Li, I'm really sorry for what happened before. We really didn't expect to put you in danger. Zi Yao apologizes to you here and begs for your forgiveness."
Jiang Li could see that Zi Yao was very worried about the situation of Mo Men, and this worry had caused her to become somewhat blind.
If he allowed the other party in on the condition of helping Mo Men, I'm afraid that some familiar plots would most likely happen.
But Jiang Li just smiled and closed the door.
He is only fourteen years old, what is he thinking? Women will only affect the speed of his punches.
Besides, as for forgiveness, he killed Pang Xun's son, so he could forgive him. Would the other party let him go?
Repaying evil with kindness is all bullshit. Anyone who has offended him, like Bailian Mountain, usually does not have a good ending.
After observing the layout of the room, Jiang Li's mind moved, and a layer of "white frost" spread out from under his feet, climbing up and covering everything in the room.
That thing was not ice, but countless slender and strong tree roots.
The mechanisms of the Mo Clan were hard to guard against, so to be on the safe side, he used these tree roots to penetrate the walls, entangle any movable objects, and forcibly "turned off" all the mechanisms in the room.
Then it was the same old routine, covering the entire room with moss and lichen, isolating everything inside from the outside.
This is the first thing Jiang Li does every time he stays in other sects.
He first took out the Chongshan Alliance Leader's Order and communicated with the nine elders.
Under Jiang Li's guidance, they have successfully found a place and are lurking near Qianluo City.
It was also thanks to them that Granny Zi from Mo Men was so easy to talk to just now.
If the situation just now was urgent, they would have immediately launched an attack at Jiang Li's command. Although there are only nine of them, in terms of high-end combat power, they can completely suppress Mo Men.
This is also the reason why Jiang Li did not swallow his anger, but instead took revenge on the spot.
He is the leader of Chongshan League, and he has to control his temperament.
Let them continue to wait outside and pay attention to the news of the Iron Wolf Sect. He will be in charge of the affairs of the Mo Sect for the time being.
After hanging up the phone, I rubbed my head and found that my headache had eased a lot.
After a period of buffering, the tired spirit was at least restored a little.
There was no time to sleep, Jiang Li opened the burial coffin and got in again.
It was still a sea of crimson flowers, but above it there stood a thousand-armed statue that looked a little weird.
This statue looks at least 90% similar to Jiang Li, half golden and half flesh and blood. Inside is a wooden Nine Nether Demon Statue, which serves as the core.
After repeated refining, the three were finally integrated into one. And because of the Nine Nether Demon Statue, the statue, which was originally a dead object, had a slight vitality after being refined.
As long as time passes, the wishes and chaotic will within the statue will collide with each other, giving birth to a new statue life.
The Thousand-Armed Statue. Jiang Li made some changes based on the blood sacrifice method of the Asura world and finally produced this finished product.
It is very different from the mainstream idols, but it suits him best.
Now, Jiang Li is going to use it to say hello to his clone in the Asura world.
He raised his hand and pressed it on the Thousand-Armed Statue. Jiang Li's fourth parallel consciousness had already flowed into it along his arm.
The palm-sized parallel consciousness rushed into the wooden statue located in the center of the statue.
The various chaotic wills that were originally colliding with each other, as if attracted by a black hole, rushed towards the fourth parallel consciousness.
This Buddha statue is actually a Thousand-Armed Guanyin statue from ancient times. The incense and vows contained in it are a great tonic for the parallel consciousness generated by the Heart Sutra of Guanyin, and there is no obstacle to its absorption.
Jiang Li's original body was afraid that these messy wishes would affect his own mind, but his clone didn't have to worry about that.
Absorbing the power of incense and vows, and the chaotic will in Asura's flesh and blood.
This parallel consciousness grew rapidly like an inflated ball, at a speed ten times faster than any other parallel consciousness in the past.
It only took an hour for the statue to open its eyes, looking at everything in front of it with an indifferent look.
The first step to connect the two worlds, preparing the statue, has been completed.
