He immediately issued an expulsion order.
But Han Baixu hesitated for a while, and said: "In another month, it will be time for the talisman appraisal conference. This session of the talisman appraisal conference will be presided over by our Jianzong. I want to invite you to be the judge of this conference."
"Appreciation Conference? Is it for tasting runes?" Lin Mo asked in surprise.
This question made Han Baixu stunned, he didn't expect that Lin Mo didn't know about the Talisman Conference.
But then he recalled it, and when he thought of Lin Mo's methods, he knew that Lin Mo was not from Jiufuyu.
It doesn't matter whether he is from Jiufuyu, after all, Lin Mo is not the first person to come to Jiufuyu from other places.
"The Talisman Appreciation Conference is a grand event held every ten years in our Nine Rune Realm. Through appreciating rune arrays and rune devices, we can improve the way of runes in the entire Nine Rune Realm. At that time, many rune masters will bring their own works to participate." Han Baixu explained .
"Eighteen judges will be set up throughout the conference, and they will evaluate all aspects of the entries. Those who stand out will receive a lot of rewards, and will also be sought after by many businesses."
The reason why Han Baixu wanted Lin Mo to attend the Talisman Appreciation Conference was to befriend Lin Mo.
A strong man of the second level of the holy realm is enough for Jianzong to put down his body and make friends.
Lin Mo suddenly realized that this should be an event similar to a trade fair.
After pondering for a while, Lin Mo said: "Forget about the judges, I want to witness the grand occasion of the Forensic Talisman Conference."
As far as his rune level is concerned, it's better not to show his ugliness, but it's good to see the rune level of Jiufuyu.
Han Baixu thought about it, but he didn't invite Lin Mo to be a judge.
As long as Lin Mo is willing to go, he will achieve his goal, and the judges are just a pretext.
"That's it, when the time comes, I will wait for you, Young Master."
Lin Mo smiled and said, "Then I will trouble Mr. Han then."
Han Baixu quickly replied, "No trouble, no trouble."
Finally seeing Lin Mo's smiling face, he finally let go of this tone in his heart.
Afterwards, the two parties bid farewell.
After watching them leave the inn, Lin Mo looked back at the brocade boxes in the room, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised.
The two came to make amends not empty-handed, but brought a lot of precious spiritual materials.
One of them made Lin Mo very happy.
Jiuyang Lihuo.
A kind of fire attribute spirit source.
In this way, four of the five spiritual sources required by the system have been gathered.
This is a pleasant surprise.
Lin Mo reached out and took Jiuyang Lihuo into the system, and smiled lightly: "It seems that 5 should be activated soon."
Jianzong is three thousand miles away from Qilingzong.
In order not to miss this grand event in the Nine Symbols Domain, Lin Mo stayed in Qiling City for three days and then set off in the direction of Jianzong.
Three thousand miles is not close, nor is it far.
The three bought a carriage and wobbled towards the west.
The horse pulling the cart was a strange animal horse, tall and strong, and it pulled the cart quickly and steadily.
Crossing mountains and crossing rivers, the three of them traveled more than 2000 miles in less than ten days.
Of course, the speed of the carriage was not so fast, but Lin Mo Tengyun couldn't hold back the flying, and when he encountered a mountain road that the carriage could not pass, he even flew over with the horse and the carriage.
Following the winding road, they came to a city.
Changming City, a city about the size of Qiling City.
"Who are you?"
The guard in front of the city gate stopped in front of the carriage and asked solemnly.
Yan Zhao, who was driving the car, was slightly taken aback. They had entered several cities along the way, but they had never met anyone who came forward to inquire. At most, they asked for a small entrance fee.
"Brothers, we are travelers going to Jianzong, passing through Guicheng, and want to rest for two days." Yan Zhao bowed his hands and saluted.
The leading middle-aged guard looked Yan Zhao up and down, and said, "Let the people in the car come out, we need to check."
Lin Mo in the carriage lifted the curtain and jumped out of the carriage upon hearing this.
"What's the problem?" Lin Mo asked lightly.
Looking at Lin Mo's indifferent and lonely eyes, the middle-aged guard couldn't help but shuddered, and said quickly, "No, no, this young master, please come into the city."
Lin Mo nodded slightly, and stepped into the city casually.
But as soon as he entered the city, he felt something was wrong.
The city was very quiet, there were only a few eager pedestrians on the wide street, and the doors of the shops on both sides were closed.
Scanning both sides of the street, Lin Mo also found that many people in the surrounding houses were watching him secretly.
Frowning slightly, Lin Mo walked forward slowly.
Xiaoman walked beside him, and said with doubts on his face: "My lord, there seems to be something wrong, I feel a strange breath."
Lin Mo's eyes twinkled with stars, looking at the center of the city.
"It's okay, I just encountered some familiar things."
"Familiar things!" Yan Zhao opened his eyes and observed.
Soon he discovered a lot of strange energy fluctuations, like smoke and mist, invisible and formless.
"Soul Monster Race!" He exclaimed in surprise.
Lin Mo nodded slightly, "I didn't expect that there would be soul monsters here, and it seems that there are quite a few of them."
"Forget it, it's none of our business, let's find a place to rest for a few days."
The three came to an inn with a closed door.
Yan Zhao knocked on the door and shouted, "Is anyone there? We're staying at the hotel."
But after taking pictures for a long time, no one opened the door.
Yan Zhao frowned and looked at the door suspiciously, he clearly sensed someone standing inside the door.
"Brother inside, we are not bad people, we just came to stay in the hotel." He said softly.
The people inside hesitated for a while, then gently opened the door, stuck out their heads, and looked Yan Zhao and the others up and down.
"Three guest officers, you should go to another house, we are closed today." The middle-aged man said in panic.
Yan Zhao said, "Brother, it's convenient for you."
"This, this" the middle-aged man hesitated.
Lin Mo took a step forward, smiled slightly and said, "There is no reason to close the door to thank customers when opening a store. The shopkeeper should invite us in."
The middle-aged man looked slightly stunned, and then he let the door open and said, "Young master is right, please come inside, please come inside."
Lin Mo nodded with a smile, and stepped into the inn.
Just now he used a little illusion to appease the inner panic of the middle-aged man.
The inn is not big, the decoration is not gorgeous, but it is very clean.
The middle-aged shopkeeper took them to the guest room on the second floor.
"Brother shopkeeper, what happened in this city, why are you all behind closed doors?"
Just as the shopkeeper was leaving, Yan Zhao couldn't help asking curiously.
The shopkeeper's expression changed, he closed the door in panic, and then said softly: "To tell you the truth, some weird things happened in the city recently, and everyone was too frightened to go out."
"What weird thing?" Yan Zhao asked.
The shopkeeper hesitated for a while, and looked up at Lin Mo. For some reason, he always felt that this young man looked very kind, as if he was very trustworthy.
Chapter 317 The Weird Smoke Group
"Hey, since a month ago, more than a dozen people have died in the city every night, and the appearance before death is very terrifying, with a pale face, terrified face, wide-eyed eyes, and twisted bodies in various postures, which is very scary " said the shopkeeper.
After Yan Zhao listened, he glanced at Lin Mo.
Lin Mo nodded slightly.
It means that these people were sucked to death by the soul monster clan.
At the beginning, the soul monsters in the Lanshan area seldom used this method to absorb divine power. They mostly raised human and demon clans in captivity to absorb divine power.
The reason is the fear of attracting the attention of others.
Unexpectedly, the soul monster clan in the Nine Runes Realm would be so arrogant, haunting human cities in broad daylight, and even wantonly harming people.
"Brother shopkeeper, do you know what they were harmed by?" Yan Zhao asked.
He knew that this was the work of the Soul Monster Clan, but he wanted to see how the people here knew the Soul Monster Clan.
There are also monster races in the Jiufu domain, and there are not a few of them.
When Xiaoman entered the city, no one looked at him differently. It can be seen that the people here are no strangers to the Yaozu, and they have no disgust.
But the Soul Monster Race is different, they are too secretive.
The shopkeeper's pupils shrank suddenly, and he said with a terrified face: "Everyone says it's the work of ghosts, and the souls of those who died were eaten by ghosts."
""
The three were speechless.
It is reasonable to say that the soul monsters are ghosts.
After all, they do have many similarities with the legendary ghosts.
From this point of view, the people here probably don't know much about the Soul Monster Race. It is estimated that even the people in the sect have never heard of the Soul Monster Race, otherwise they wouldn't have allowed the Soul Monster Race to make trouble in the city for so long.
But Lin Mo thought of another point from it, and that was the shortcoming of the talisman refiner.
The ability to apply mental power is too poor, and there are few ways to deal with soul attacks, and even the strong Fu Huang rank cannot sense the soul demon clan.
In contrast, warriors of the Spirit Emperor Realm and spiritual masters can clearly sense the exact location of the soul monsters of the same level.
"Guest officers, it's better for you to leave as soon as possible. Those things are too weird. It would be bad if they hurt you." The middle-aged shopkeeper kindly persuaded.
Immediately, he got up, shook his head and sighed, and left the room with a slightly stooped body.
"My lord, let's get rid of these soul monsters." Xiaoman said suddenly.
Lin Mo was slightly stunned, and looked up at her serious little face.
After that, he smiled lightly and said, "Go if you want."
"Thank you son." Xiaoman said excitedly.
Obviously she is very much looking forward to the upcoming heroism.
Lin Mo shook his head slightly, smiled, didn't say any more, just dragged out the rocking chair and lay down, his mind once again immersed in the mysterious formation of different space.
night.
The lights of thousands of houses in Changming City were lit up, and even the streets were as bright as day.
It's a pity that the light did not dispel the fear of the residents in the city, but instead made the whole city even weirder.
On the street, a team of captain Mingzong's disciples vigilantly patrolled back and forth, the surroundings were silent, only the slight sound of footsteps lingering in the streets and alleys.
Suddenly, a faint shadow passed by.
"who!"
The patrolling disciple seemed to sense a trace of breath, and shouted loudly.
Huhu
The wind blows, rustling the leaves.
In the entire patrol team, more than a dozen disciples raised their hearts and scanned the surroundings with breathless concentration.
In the alley beside the street, a cloud of light gray smoke suddenly appeared.
