Chapter 1140 Departure to Wanjian Mountain
Luo Li turned around, a smile that didn't reach her eyes. "Senior Mo Xuan, you've arrived just in time. We'll set off for Wanjian Mountain tomorrow. I hope you can give us your guidance."
Mo Xuan nodded slightly, "It's my honor."
His gaze swept across the crowd, finally stopping at Luo Li, and he said meaningfully: "The Great Wilderness Ruins are full of dangers, my friend Luo Li, please be careful."
Luo Li met his gaze and smiled faintly, "Thank you for your concern, Senior. We know what to do. Besides, we have you traveling with us, so there's nothing to worry about."
Mo Xuan smiled, said no more, turned and left.
After he walked away, Lan Xiaoxiao couldn't help but whispered, "Ali, what did he mean by that just now? Was he threatening us?"
Luo Li narrowed her eyes, "Maybe. However, who will win is still unknown."
As night falls, the city gradually becomes quiet.
Luo Li stood alone in front of the window. Di Xuanming walked into the room and slowly approached her. "What are you thinking about? About the Great Desolate Ruins?"
Luo Li nodded. "That's right. Even if Mo Xuan is from the Demon God Temple, the Great Wasteland Ruins can't be faked. The Great Wasteland Ruins are real, and it's also true that the people from the Demon God Temple want to lure us into their trap. I'm thinking about their purpose for doing this."
Di Xuanming raised his hand and tucked the hair that had fallen on her shoulders behind her ear. The warmth of his palm dispelled some of the chill. "Since we know he's up to something, we'll counter his moves. I won't leave your side for a single moment along the way."
Luo Li curled her lips, "Okay."
The next morning, he did not leave the teleportation array in the city.
Luo Li and her group were ready to go, and Mo Xuan also showed up on time, still looking like an immortal.
He glanced at everyone, finally landing on Luo Li, and smiled slightly: "Little friend Luo Li, you can set off now."
Luo Li nodded slightly, gathering spiritual energy at her fingertips to activate the teleportation array. A dazzling white light flashed, and everyone's figures instantly disappeared.
Half a day later, outside Wanjian Mountain, the space suddenly twisted and fluctuated, and several figures appeared out of thin air.
"We're here." Luo Li raised her eyes and looked into the distance. She saw that the golden light in the sky was getting brighter. She could vaguely see the shadow of a towering mountain floating in the air. A majestic ancient atmosphere filled her face.
Mu Ze gripped the sword tightly in his hand and whispered, "It's even more spectacular than I expected."
He looked at Luo Li, "Chen Fuzhou and his men have already camped outside the barren mountain."
Luo Li smiled, "Then let's go directly there."
She looked at Mo Xuan with a scrutinizing gaze, "Senior Mo Xuan, do you have any objections?"
Mo Xuan smiled gently, "Of course, everything is up to you, little friend Luo Li."
The group walked towards the barren mountains, and the land under their feet gradually turned from green to yellow.
Mo Xuan walked at the end of the team, his fingertips sliding across the tree trunk without leaving a trace, leaving a dark purple mark.
Luo Li and the others pretended not to see it.
Two hours later, they arrived at the barren mountain.
There are only a few scattered forces stationed here, and the main force may take another day or two to arrive.
Luo Li contacted Shen Fuzhou directly, learned their location, and walked over with the three people behind him.
Shen Fuzhou had been waiting outside the camp for a long time. Seeing Luo Li and his group arrive, he quickly stepped forward and said, "Luo Li, you are here."
His gaze lingered on Mo Xuan for a moment, then he looked away as if nothing had happened. He transmitted a message, "The people from the Demon God Temple have already infiltrated various major factions and haven't discovered our arrangements yet."
Luo Li nodded slightly, "Thank you for your hard work."
She looked around and found that a concealment formation had been set up around the camp, making it difficult for outsiders to spy on the situation inside.
"Let's go in first."
She looked at Mo Xuan, Lan Xiaoxiao, Song Wanbai, and the disguised Di Xuanming, "Young Master Shen and I will go in to discuss some things. You just wait outside for a while."
Lan Xiaoxiao didn't wait for Mo Xuan to speak, and immediately said, "Okay, Ah Li, you go!"
Luo Li and Shen Fuzhou entered the main tent. Shen Fuzhou immediately activated the soundproof barrier and said solemnly, "The Demon God Temple sent a lot of people to disguise themselves as various forces, but the forces in the covenant have all been informed and no one has alerted the enemy."
Luo Li sneered, "The Demon God Temple is really generous. It seems that there are really good things in these ruins that they covet."
Shen Fuzhou nodded, "Yes, it will probably take another seven or eight days for the ruins to open. Let's stay here for the next few days. When Shi Yuan and the others arrive, we will discuss the details after entering the ruins."
Luo Li tapped the table lightly, pondered for a moment, and then said, "We must keep a close eye on Mo Xuan these few days. He's been making small movements along the way. I don't know who he's sending information to, but it's very likely that he's contacting the Demon God Temple."
A trace of vigilance flashed across Shen Fuzhou's eyes. "Don't worry, I've arranged secret guards to monitor his every move at all times. But Luo Li, are you really sure you want to wait for Xie Shiyuan and the others to arrive before taking action? What if the Demon God Temple takes action in advance..."
"It's precisely because we're worried they might act prematurely that we have to wait for Shi Yuan and the others." Luo Li's eyes were firm. "With them here, our chances of winning are greater. And during this time, we can use Mo Xuan to spread false information and disrupt the Demon God Temple's deployment."
Shen Fuzhou suddenly realized, "I see! Then I will immediately arrange for my disciples to deliberately let Mo Xuan discover some false information."
"Also," Luo Li added, "dispatch people to closely monitor the movements of other forces, especially those unfamiliar faces that suddenly appear. With people from the Demon God Temple mixed in among them, there's no guarantee they won't win over forces that haven't joined the Covenant of the Gods to become our enemies."
"Understood!" Shen Fuzhou agreed.
At the same time, outside the camp, Mo Xuan stood next to a dead tree, his eyes seemingly scanning the surroundings casually, but in fact he was observing the camp's defensive arrangements.
Lan Xiaoxiao and Song Wanbai stood beside him, one on each side, ostensibly to keep him company, but actually to monitor him.
Emperor Xuanming was meditating beside an ancient tree.
"Friend Lan, Friend Song," Mo Xuan suddenly said, "This desolate mountain area is really boring. I wonder if you two could accompany me for a walk?"
Lan Xiaoxiao glanced at him warily and declined, "No need. A-Li told us to wait for her here."
Mo Xuan chuckled, "I'm just wandering around the camp, I won't go far. Besides, I know a thing or two about the terrain of this desolate mountain, maybe I can find some useful clues."
Song Wanbai calmly gripped the sword at his waist, a warm smile on his face. "Senior Mo Xuan, I appreciate your kindness, but our cultivation is shallow. If we can't keep up with you, it will delay important matters."
Before he finished speaking, there was a sudden sharp sound of breaking through the air in the distance, and dozens of black shadows swept across the sky with a fishy wind.
Mo Xuan's pupils shrank slightly, and the dark purple spiritual power in his sleeves surged slightly, but disappeared the moment he saw Lan Xiaoxiao sacrifice the spiritual weapon.
"It's a group of magical beasts. It seems that the unusual movement in the ruins has alarmed these magical beasts."
