Tales of Demons and Gods: After Locking Time and Space

Chapter 166 A Different Story

"What is Master Mojie doing? Why is he so busy that he summoned us at night?" Nie Li was a little confused. He brought them here in the middle of the night just to ask for their help.

"I have set up restrictions around here, so there's no need to be so obscure. I already have some guesses about your origins." Mo Jie straightened up. Kneeling down was not something he could truly do.

"Oh? Young Master Mojie has seen us before?" Nie Li was surprised now. They were characters from the future timeline and had just traveled to this time not long ago. How could Mojie have seen them before? Nie Li just thought that Mojie had recognized the wrong people.

"Of course I have seen you. I have heard of you during my travels in the lower realm. You are all geniuses of the younger generation in the Dragon Ruins Realm, aren't you?" Mo Jie said confidently, and his mind emerged with what he saw and heard when he was ordered to go to the lower realm last month, among whom were Nie Li and others.

"Young Master Mojie, you are joking. We were born in the ancestral land of the gods, but have never been to the lower realm." Nie Li didn't know if Mojie was testing him. After all, with their current cultivation level, they could be considered geniuses even among their peers in the ancestral land of the gods. But if Mojie wanted to deceive them, it would be fine for him to say that he was a genius he had heard of in the Longxu Realm.

Nie Li was still relatively conservative, so he had to lie and say that they were all people from the ancestral land of the gods.

“But I not only heard of you, I also saw you in the Longxu Realm, and at that time, you all had the cultivation level of Dragon Dao Realm.” Mo Jie narrowed his eyes slightly, he also found it very magical, in just over a month, these people came to the ancestral land of the Heavenly God from the Longxu Realm, and their cultivation level was once raised to the Martial Sect or even the Heavenly Dao Realm, this kind of cultivation speed was unheard of even in the ancestral land of the Heavenly God.

Nie Li was shocked. How could it be possible? This place was more than a hundred years before the time when he and his friends were here. How could Mo Jie have seen them in the Dragon Ruins Realm? At this time, none of them were even born.

"Master Mojie must have recognized the wrong people. It's impossible for us to have appeared in the lower realm." Nie Li said as calmly as possible. Although Nie Li did not believe what Mojie said, he did not believe that someone with such cultivation would have disordered memories. Since he said that he had seen several people before, he must have seen them before. However, he did not know why.

"Okay, if you say there is no truth, then there is no truth. This does not affect what we are going to do next. I just want to know. Can you help me?" Seeing that Nie Li refused to admit it, Mo Jie thought that Nie Li and the others were just unwilling to tell the truth. He was helpless. Since they didn't want to say it, he would just pretend that he didn't know.

"Why don't you tell me what the matter is first? We may not be able to help Master Mojie." Nie Li cupped his hands. Since Mojie showed him enough respect, there would be no problem in listening to his request first.

"For the election of the sect leader tomorrow, I ask you to help me search for the spirit of my brother Mo Ke under the ground of Hedao Sect!" Mo Jie turned and looked at the portrait in the hall. The portrait had no extra embellishments, just ink painting, but the objects in the painting were lifelike, as if they were about to fly out of the scroll. It was a dragon, but it was missing a pair of eyes.

"Why did your brother's spirit separate from his body?" Nie Li didn't know what was going on, so he had to ask first. Logically speaking, Mo Jie had told him that he and his brother were killed and wounded during the battle with the Saint Emperor. If that was the case, who was lying about the current and future Mo Jie? What was the truth of the matter?

"Haha, separation? If it was just separation, it would be fine, but my brother's body has been tragically killed by the old sect master's sword!"

Nie Li thought a lot in his mind, and it was more likely that the future Mojie would deceive him. If Moke had encountered an accident now, he would not have been able to participate in that holy war. However, if the current Moke had not encountered an accident, the current Mojie would not have said such a thing. Otherwise, the lie would be exposed tomorrow, and everything Mojie did and said would be meaningless.

Mo Jie started to explain again, and Nie Li temporarily pulled his thoughts back.

"The old leader appears to be righteous and awe-inspiring. He thinks he is keeping his actions against my brother Mo Ke a secret, but Mo Ke and I are naturally connected. Now, I can see Mo Ke being tragically killed by his men as long as I close my eyes."

Mojie spoke indignantly, almost dancing with joy, his every move revealing his hatred for the old sect leader. Moke, that was his only bond and concern, and he even tried to seize the position of the sect leader of the Hedao Sect not for himself, but because he wanted his brother, who had been wandering with him, to have a stable life!

"You mean, for tomorrow's clan leader election, none of us can go to the scene, and we must go to the underground you mentioned to help you find the spirit of your brother Mo Ke?"

“It’s not necessary, but it’s safer for all of you to be together, isn’t it?” Mo Jie didn’t know why Nie Li said that. He had only mentioned that incident, but he had never said that they could not go to the election site.

"But why should I help you?" Nie Li thought about it. This matter was not only of no benefit to him, but also full of dangers. Logically speaking, since there were so many lives hidden underground in the Hedao Sect, it should be the highest secret for the Hedao Sect.

"I know it sounds vague, but once the thing behind the wooden door breaks the seal, it can even become another Holy Emperor!" Mo Jie wanted to describe it as detailed as possible, but he had never seen what was behind the wooden door.

"Wooden door? What is this?" Nie Li thought about it. Demon Tribulation had not mentioned this wooden door just now. He didn't know what the wooden door represented.

"I didn't want to mention it, but this wooden door looks just like an ordinary door. But no one knows what is hidden behind it. It is always shaky but has never been opened. The old sect leader often goes to see the door, touches its patterns and mutters something mysteriously."

"How do you know all this? The old master did this so secretly, and logically he wouldn't let others know."

"Of course! This is also the reason why my brother was killed! Mo Ke was led by him to the underground, and he also saw the wooden door, so he was killed by the old sect master. That day, my brother Mo Ke's experience was passed on to my mind. In addition, I often saw the old sect master disappear at that entrance. I guessed that the old sect master would go down to check once every three days, and he was very eager to open the door."

Mojie's voice was trembling. Every time he talked about Moke's death, he couldn't suppress the anger in his heart.

“So, this is why the old sect leader is so busy passing down the position of sect leader even though he is at the peak of his cultivation?” Nie Li also had a guess. Is the thing behind this wooden door even more important than the position of the sect leader of Hedao Sect?

“If you help me find Mo Ke’s spirit, after I take over the position of the leader of He Dao Sect, the entire He Dao Sect will help you do things!” Seeing that Nie Li was still hesitating, Mo Jie had to say this. Mo Ke’s spirit was too important to him.

"Oh?"
