Chapter 169 Chapter 169 (Revised)
Chapter 169
No one listened to the conversation between that person and Han Jue. After the conversation ended, Long Feng pushed the two magic weapons again, but could not find any useful conversation.
Looking at the magic weapon that had finished playing all the recordings, both Mo Lou and Long Feng fell silent.
In the end, it was Lin Zhu who spoke first. His voice was a little hoarse as he said, "...So Han Jue, he was pretending to be blind?"
"If Han Jue doesn't know that we are recording, this should not be false." Mo Lou said in a daze.
She felt that today was really too exciting.
She just came here to listen to the recorded conversation. At first, she came here with a relatively relaxed attitude. After all, she didn't think she could record anything useful on the first try. But the facts slapped her in the face.
——Not only did they record something useful, but this useful thing was really too useful, so useful that Mo Lou even thought it was really okay if she heard it?
Mo Lou was also a little concerned about the so-called savior star. After all, judging from Han Jue's tone, this so-called savior star might really mean what it said.
But after all, Mo Lou obtained too little information, and this thought only flashed through her mind and then disappeared without a trace.
"Since this recording is not fake, we should also consider how to make this matter public and expose Han Jue's true colors."
After Long Feng came back to his senses, he thought carefully and said.
Although the fact that Han Jue pretended to be blind was shocking, it gave them more of a handle. Now Long Feng was more confident in uncovering Han Jue's true identity.
Although Long Feng had been confident in his revenge on Hanjue before, there is a difference between taking revenge on Hanjue and having Hanjue's true identity known to everyone, as he is being pointed at by thousands of people.
Lin Zhu came to his senses immediately and nodded in agreement.
Mo Lou had no objection. After all, he felt that those words had indeed changed her life. Thinking of the experience when he and he almost died when they were young, Mo Lou closed his eyes and forced himself to suppress the urge to seek revenge on Han Jue on the spot. He began to discuss with Long Feng and Lin Zhu about what action to take.
But here lies the problem, a disagreement arises between them.
To be more precise, there was a disagreement between Mo Lou and Long Feng Lin Zhu.
"...Just reveal everything. Do you want to see Han Jue continue to deceive more people?"
Lin Zhu looked at Mo Lou across from him with a look of confusion.
Mo Lou looked at Lin Zhu who seemed to have lost his mind. She first sighed, then frowned and said.
"I don't want Han Jue to continue to be free, but the prophecy on Han Jue is very complicated. Could it be that you don't want to practice in the cultivation world in the future or you are going to ascend to heaven in the next second?"
Mo Lou thought about the conversation between Han Jue and the other person, and felt that it was not a good idea to just tell everything out loud.
"Let's not talk about how many people will believe us if we tell the truth. After all, we have evidence. But what about the high-ranking officials in the cultivation world? If we expose the fact that the prophecy is false in public, will they really not have any thoughts about us and the sects behind us?"
Mo Lou said seriously.
In her previous life, she suffered for her own stubbornness, which brought trouble to her master's sect. In the end, her master took all the blame.
He was clearly a powerful being in the Nascent Soul stage, but in the end, he was exhausted and wasted his time in the sect.
Mo Lou couldn't blame anyone, but he changed his impulsiveness.
She has survived to this day because of the sect. However, if she gets into trouble outside and brings harm to her master's sect, how can she have the face to carry on activities under the name of the Nushan Sect?
Mo Lou is no longer an impulsive young man. In this life and her previous life, she is almost 300 years old. Although she is quite conflicted in some aspects, she is quite sober when it comes to her master.
We can't just say this to others!
At least they should wait until the cultivation world and country A have gained enough benefits from the war and no longer need Han Jue before speaking out. Otherwise, those hungry high-ranking officials in the cultivation world will never let them go.
However, after hearing what Mo Lou said, Long Feng and Lin Zhu frowned. It wasn't that they didn't agree with what Mo Lou said, but...
"My brother Long and I are about to break through to the Nascent Soul stage. We can't let the words of a Nascent Soul master bring trouble to our sect. At worst, we can just break off relations with the sect."
Lin Zhu frowned and said that he did not think that Mo Lou's behavior was a well-thought-out performance. On the contrary, he just thought that Mo Lou was too timid.
He is just a liar. Can the world of cultivation really turn against two Nascent Soul stage masters just for him?
Although Long Feng didn't say anything, his expression showed that he agreed with this statement.
Mo Lou looked at the two people's confident expressions and suddenly began to wonder if it was because her cultivation had remained in the late Jindan stage for too long that she became timid.
Or maybe it was because of her experiences in her previous life that the older she gets, the less courageous she becomes. This saying came true in her case.
But no matter what, Mo Lou still kept his mouth shut, which made Lin Zhu and Long Feng breathe a sigh of relief. They then began to discuss how to spread the news.
Mo Lou listened quietly at first, and felt that the methods they proposed were becoming more and more perfect, until they mentioned the manager of Wanjietong.
"...The store manager of Wanjietong can also reveal the news to the other party if necessary. Although he may not hate Hanjue as deeply as we do, he seems to want to cause trouble for Hanjue as well."
As Lin Zhu spoke, Long Feng nodded.
"Besides, he holds the sales rights of Wanjietong after all. When the time comes, we can save a lot of effort by just putting the matter on Wanjietong."
As the two were talking, Mo Lou on the side couldn't sit still anymore. She frowned and spoke as if she was meeting the two people for the first time.
"Wait, why did you involve the store owner? Even if he has problems, that's not a reason to involve him. Or do you think you can't get revenge alone and want to involve innocent people?"
Mo Lou couldn't help but sneer at the end.
But Long Feng and Lin Zhu had their reasons.
"The store manager himself was a sudden arrival, and he went to see Han Jue that day. According to the subsequent news records, he was more suspicious than us, so we can get away with it." Lin Zhu said.
“Besides, his identity is not ordinary. By that time, there may be more people protecting him than us.” Long Feng said, tapping the table with his index finger.
"Besides, the store manager should not be an innocent person. After all, he protected us..." Lin Zhu took over the conversation again.
"So you turned evil into good, and involved him in such a big problem in the cultivation world. Yes, you two are about to break through the Nascent Soul stage. The Nascent Soul Patriarch will naturally not die like this, and the cultivation world will protect you. I, a Jindan Zhenren, am about the same."
Mo Lou couldn't help it any longer. She slammed the table and stood up and said, "——But the other party is only in the Foundation Establishment Stage. He is only 22 years old this year. Maybe he is just a kid who wants to play a prank. How could you involve him in such a big thing!"
Mo Lou slammed the table hard again: "What if his cultivation is going to be abolished? You also know that those cultivation families like to do this kind of thing the most!"
Lin Zhu and Long Feng knew why Mo Lou was so excited. Before, Mo Lou did not quite agree with them making everything public.
After all, this would bring trouble to the sect, and Mo Lou and his sect have really deep feelings.
Besides, the Nushan Sect, Huanhai Sect and the sect where Lin Zhu is located are different. The sects they are in are either capable of protecting themselves or are the masters of a world. In this way, the elders can at least cover up some of the troubles caused by the disciples in the sect.
But the Nushan Sect was different. Although it was also ranked among the top five major sects in the Beiyuan Realm where she was, this top five sect was also shaky. After all, the Nushan Sect had been experiencing a severe lack of successors in recent years.
But Mo Lou finally shut up, after all, she still wanted revenge.
Involving the store owner was truly touching Mo Lou's bottom line. In fact, when Long Feng and Mo Lou were together before, he didn't quite understand why Mo Lou had always been so respectful to those low-level Qi training cultivators.
When they were at the same level of cultivation before, Long Feng didn't think there was anything wrong with this. But after they reached the Golden Core Stage, Mo Lou was still like this, which made Long Feng feel a little strange.
Later, I found out that this was what Mo Lou's master taught her, and it was because of her master's teachings that Mo Lou was able to save her life.
"——I'm not like this to everyone. I just feel that the other person is in trouble, so why not lend a hand? Of course, if the other person wants to harm me, my sword is not a vegetarian. Don't worry, my master has taught me this."
At that time, Long Feng just thought that this was Mo Lou's quirk, and it was quite cute, but now Long Feng feels how troublesome this quirk is.
Long Feng frowned and said, "You want revenge, but you don't want to involve others. There is no such thing as having the best of both worlds in the world."
"Besides, a cultivator is already going against the will of heaven. If he were to encounter such karma, it would be his fate."
When Mo Lou heard Long Feng's words, she seemed to be in disbelief. She instantly straightened up and looked at Long Feng, then she turned to look at Lin Zhu.
Lin Zhu also nodded in agreement at this time.
Mo Lou's original anger became even stronger, but when she was furious to the extreme, she suddenly calmed down. In fact, she had always known that there was a gap between her concepts and those of the monks around her, but she didn't know that even Long Feng thought the same way.
But in fact, there had been signs before. No matter in the previous life or this life, Long Feng would only have serious interactions with the cultivators around him who were at the same level as him, or who were slightly lower than him in level.
As for those cultivators in the Qi Refining Stage or even the Foundation Establishment Stage, Long Feng would only bother to deal with them unless the family behind them was quite powerful. Otherwise, he would just nod, make some polite words, and then turn around and leave.
Mo Lou had never realized so clearly as she did now that she and Long Feng were indeed from two different worlds.
The conflicted mood she had felt before suddenly disappeared, and she looked at Long Feng and suddenly felt quite calm.
"Long Feng, let's go to the suburbs and have a fight."
Mo Lou heard himself say this.
*
The result of the competition that day was quite tragic, both Long Feng and Mo Lou were seriously injured.
Long Feng was even more seriously injured. Even at this critical moment, he still maintained a gentle attitude towards her, but Mo Lou directly forced Long Feng to use his killing move.
If Mo Lou himself had not noticed it at the last moment and used all his strength to avoid Long Feng's sword moves, I'm afraid Mo Lou's master would have to summon his soul now.
But even after such a fight, Mo Lou still said with half of his body stained with blood as he looked at Long Feng, who was also panting and had one hand hanging unnaturally.
"Let's part ways now. I will remind the Wanjietong store manager, but I won't tell anyone about you."
Mo Lou said resolutely.
Lin Zhu and Long Feng both looked puzzled. They didn't understand why Mo Lou reacted so strongly, nor did they understand why Mo Lou suddenly became so determined?
Mo Lou ignored them. She drank a whole bottle of rejuvenation pills that day, barely supporting her body and returning to Beiyuan Realm.
Before leaving, she went to the Wanjietong store, with a pale face, and spoke seriously to the confused young manager.
"Recently, there may be scammers who will tell you some so-called secrets of the cultivation world, but don't believe them. They are just trying to deceive you into knowing the secrets of the world."
Mo Lou left after she finished speaking. She had already warned him to this extent, and if the young store manager was still involved in this matter, then there would be nothing she could do.
However, after Mo Lou, who seemed to have handled everything calmly, returned to the sect, she looked at her master who was looking at her kindly, and she couldn't help but burst into tears.
Mo Lou cried particularly miserably.
It was like paying tribute to the self in the previous life who died under Long Feng's sword because of misjudgment of people. It was also like paying tribute to the current self who felt that Long Feng's behavior was excusable.
Mo Lou cried for the entire day, and after venting all her emotions, she finally fainted from crying.
But when Mo Lou woke up, he felt refreshed and his mind was clear.
Before Mo Lou could savor the feeling, she felt the spiritual energy in her body suddenly speed up.
Is she...about to break through?
Mo Lou's eyes widened in surprise.
When he naturally broke through to the Nascent Soul stage, Mo Lou felt that his clear mind suddenly understood what the so-called ruthless path was all about.
The path of ruthlessness is not to cut off all your emotional ties - that only proves that you haven't let go yet.
The true ruthless way is like the way of heaven, which has the same attitude towards everyone, but it is not like the way of heaven.
——At least Mo Lou didn’t think that her attachment to her master would affect her cultivation.
Although she still feels sad and angry about the death of her master in her previous life, she does not avoid this emotion but accepts it calmly.
With this mentality, Mo Lou was surprised to find that she had taken a big step forward on the path of ruthlessness. In fact, judging from her previous fight with Long Feng, she might be even stronger than Long Feng now.
Thinking of Long Feng, Mo Lou felt a little complicated, but she also calmly accepted this complexity.
She quickly sorted out all the people she wanted revenge on.
She must take Long Feng's life, for the sake of her own life in her previous life.
And Han Jue...
Mo Lou really wanted to say that she wanted to kill Han Jue, but she had a vague intuition that the truth of the matter was not what she thought. It might be because Han Jue's tone was too painful, or maybe there was a hint of disappointment in the other person's voice.
——But the fact that Han Jue pretended to be blind and made random comments to others must be exposed, otherwise God knows how many children would be harmed?
Mo Lou thought about it, but turned around and put the two targets of revenge aside.
One still has to distinguish the priorities of things. She is different from Long Feng and Lin Zhu, who do not take their sects too seriously.
The world of cultivation is about to face a war. Judging from what Han Jue said, it will probably last for a long time. So it is time to stockpile a batch of supplies for the sect.
Whether it is materials for training or materials for expedition, all of them must be stockpiled. Even if they are not used later, it is still good to sell them.
While Mo Lou was busy with these things, she did not forget to post everything she knew on Wanjietong, and the posts below soon followed, with some people questioning her.
Some people think that Han Jue is probably a liar. After all, they have never heard of such an accurate fortune teller in the history of the cultivation world.
Mo Lou didn't care about all of this. She just watched the public opinion ferment. However, since only a few people bought Wanjietong now, and even fewer people were involved in this forum, it didn't cause much waves in the cultivation world.
However, Mo Lou still saw the names of Lin Zhu and Long Feng flash by in the building.
It means supporting Mo Lou.
Mo Lou took a look and also paid attention to what Long Feng and Lin Zhu had done.
But I found out that they just attended the meeting honestly and didn’t rashly go up to say anything to the store manager?
"Could it be that I misunderstood them?"
Mo Lou murmured.
However, if Mo Lou saw what Lin Zhu was doing now, he probably wouldn't say this.
*
"Why did you give me this news?"
Seeing that the vigilant young store manager in front of him was gone, and his previous relaxed look was gone, Lin Zhu curled the corners of his mouth.
"I just noticed that you seem to have the same goal as us, such as ruining Han Jue's reputation."
Lin Zhu said this with a smile, while Long Feng, who was watching for them, stood aside with his arms around his chest, not saying a word.
Lin Zhu didn't care about Long Feng. After all, he had been acting like this ever since Mo Lou left.
The shop manager opposite did not say anything. He just continued to look at him with a vigilant look, then looked at the evidence in Lin Zhu's hand. After hesitating for a while, he finally picked up the evidence.
"I know your purpose. Letting someone like me speak out can at least avoid your suspicion, right?"
The shop manager said so.
But then when he took a look at the evidence, the store manager's expression became shocked.
“I can’t even imagine what expressions would be on the faces of those big shots in the world of cultivation if they knew that the prophecy they had received was false?” Although the young store manager said this, the excitement on his face proved that he was not actually afraid.
Lin Zhu looked at the store manager's current appearance and nodded with satisfaction. It was worth it for him to cover for him.
Lin Zhu saw the young store manager near the edge of the conference. He knew at a glance that the store manager must have used some special means to get into the conference. However, judging from the way he was wandering around the edge, he was just someone who wanted to peek into the conference but didn't have the courage to do so.
So Lin Zhu helped the young store manager before people arrived and took him to the other side, which could be considered as covering for him.
Seeing the young store manager excitedly leaving with Zhengjue under his guidance, Lin Zhu first breathed a sigh of relief, and then planned to return to the meeting. Only Long Feng, who was standing aside, frowned and asked.
"Is it really okay not to tell him that the higher-ups might know that the prophecy is false?"
Lin Zhu glanced at Long Feng and asked, "Brother Long, when did you care so much about the life of a mere Foundation Establishment Stage cultivator?"
Long Feng couldn't explain it either, but after Mo Lou left him, he couldn't help but wonder, what would Mo Lou do if he encountered this kind of thing?
But soon, Long Feng overcame this.
Looking at Sect Leader Qiao who was talking on the stage, saying that the cultivation world needed Country A and that Country A would pose a danger to the cultivation world, he looked at Han Jue who was sitting next to Sect Leader Qiao, still with an expressionless face.
Long Feng threw the little bit of sympathy he had before to the back of his mind.
After all, revenge is just around the corner.

Recently, a piece of news has caused a lot of excitement in the world of cultivation.
The five realms jointly declared that the mortal world is encroaching on the world of cultivation, and that the mortal world has developed drugs that can hinder the cultivators' cultivation. So for the sake of peace in the world of cultivation, they need cultivators to go to the mortal world to intimidate the mortals.
At the same time, they also welcome those mortals in the world of cultivation who have the qualifications to come and practice with a broad mind.
Of course, these are high-sounding words, but in fact, everyone in the world of cultivation understands that this is just a fair way for them to plunder talent from the mortal world.
But they don't care. After all, as long as they can get benefits, who cares where the war comes from?
Although this statement clearly states that the laws of the mortal world will only allow the monks with skills and techniques from the mortal world to pass through for fear that they will cause harm to the mortal world, but which monk doesn't have some hidden skills?
What's more, this is a simple arithmetic problem. As long as they think it is worth it, no one will force the monks.
As a result, the entire cultivation world began to discuss heatedly, which martial art they should give away would be the most cost-effective?
In such a bustling atmosphere, the clerks in a know-it-all shop were gradually replaced, and not many people noticed.
Finally, the only person left in this small shop was a yawning and lazy looking store manager.
On the day of the attack on Country A, millions of cultivators from the entire cultivation world came to the scene.
The cultivation base of these cultivators has at least reached the great perfection of the foundation-building stage. It’s not that the remaining small cultivators don’t want to come, but they simply cannot compete with these powerful ones.
Sect Leader Qiao originally planned to give a speech in the world of cultivation, but for some reason he always had a vague sense of uneasiness in his heart, and finally he opened the door to the mortal world first.
Seeing the gate open, the monks immediately began to rush towards the gate.
However, this time the tolerance of the laws of nature in the mortal world seemed to be very low. After only a thousand people passed, dark clouds appeared in the sky of the mortal world, and lightning was faintly visible among the dark clouds.
Now, even if there are cultivators who are unwilling, they can only watch the thunderclouds in front of them helplessly and push back the Wanjietong.
Yes, for this operation, the cultivators who are unable to go to the scene can still watch the situation on site through Wanjietong, which is also an incentive from the top leaders of the cultivation world.
At that time, they will work harder to compete for rotation spots.
This also led to another surge in Wantong's sales.
Sect Leader Qiao also came to the mortal world. He was there to make sure the cultivators didn't attack Feng Chao, as that was the territory of their Huanhai Sect.
As expected, some people wanted to make a move along the way. Fortunately, he sped up and arrived at the border of Country A. Those who wanted to take action were suppressed by him. However, unexpectedly, there were already mortal troops waiting at the border of Country A.
Sect Leader Qiao did not care, but directly told the crowd behind him why they wanted to attack Country A and what they could gain in the simplest and most understandable sentences.
"...Many people may think that attacking Country A and arguing with mortals is a rather shameful thing, but I would say that this is wrong!"
Sect Leader Qiao said very seriously: "We underestimated the power of mortals, and also ignored the terrifying technology that mortals now possess. The eight people who were infected by the mortal virus are the best proof of this."
As soon as these words were spoken, most people began to talk about the incident with their companions.
As the story spread from mouth to mouth, the original outcome of the incident changed from just one disciple suffering a severe blow in his cultivation and making no progress to all eight people being wiped out, with their bodies finally festered with pus and blood and turned into a pool of thick water.
The cultivators with the All-Realm Skills in the venue were also in an uproar. Both the cultivators in the cultivation world and the cultivators on the scene were outraged. However, Long Feng and Lin Zhu, who were hiding in the crowd, covered their faces helplessly.
After all, listening to people around discussing how tragically they died, besides sounding unlucky, it also sounded a bit weird.
It was at this time that Sect Leader Qiao finally mentioned the prophecy, and Pavilion Master Han Juehan was now looked at with admiration by the cultivators at the venue.
"——And the prediction made by Tianwen Pavilion Master Han also proves this."
Just as Master Qiao was about to say something else, a voice that resounded through the sky of Country A brought his speech to an abrupt end.
"Really? But if I say that Pavilion Master Han Juehan's prophecy..."
"——Is it fake?"
