The Diary System hadn't announced the mission complete yet, so Shen Fan could only look for clues about the mission point on Mo Juren's body.
"Alas."
"Only one hour left?"
Mo Juren let out a bitter laugh, then after a few seconds of silence, continued, "If I'm not mistaken, Young Master Shen must be a Cultivator, right?"
"Only that can explain why Young Master Shen could pull me back from the brink of death with just one finger, and even keep me alive for an hour."
In his opinion, Cultivators possessed various mystical abilities, and anything they did that was difficult to comprehend was considered normal.
"Cultivator?"
"Heh."
"You could say that."
Cultivation is cultivation, and cultivating other things is also cultivation; it's all pretty much the same, so Shen Fan didn't bother to explain further.
"Indeed…"
Mo Juren looked at Shen Fan with envy, and after a while, he took out a sachet from his Arms and said, "Everything I want to say is in this sachet."
"This was originally my backup plan, thinking that if I failed to seize Han Li's body, I could still make a final deal with that kid, Han Li."
"But now it seems this deal will fall to you, Young Master Shen."
With that, Mo Juren handed the sachet to Shen Fan.
Beside him, upon seeing the sachet Mo Juren handed over, a flash of inspiration suddenly struck Shen Fan's mind, and he remembered Yu Zitong from the original plot, his eyes immediately lighting up. Then, to Mo Juren's confusion, he walked up to him and placed his hand on his head.
"Found you."
After a moment, Shen Fan's hand, which was pressed on Mo Juren's head, formed a claw and yanked outwards, pulling a ball of light from Mo Juren's sea of consciousness.
"Senior, please spare me."
Compared to Mo Juren, who knew nothing about cultivation, Yu Zitong, having come from a Cultivator family, was well aware that Shen Fan's ability to pull Mo Juren back from near-death with a casual finger was absolutely not something a Qi Condensation stage Cultivator could achieve. To avoid being obliterated by this Senior, who was at least at the Foundation Establishment stage, he had no thought of resisting and immediately began begging for mercy, calling him "Senior" repeatedly as soon as he was pulled out.
"Spare you?"
"Just by looking at you, kid, you're no good."
"You've been secretly hiding in Mo Juren's sea of consciousness, aren't you looking for an opportunity to ambush and seize my body?"
Shen Fan had no good feelings for scum like Yu Zitong, who swore by his nine generations at the drop of a hat. Regardless of how the other party begged for mercy or claimed innocence, he directly pulled out the Ten Thousand Souls Banner and threw him inside.
"Uh."
"Oh, my head."
"All my attention was on you, Young Master Shen, just now, and for a moment, I completely forgot about Yu Zitong."
At this moment, seeing Shen Fan mercilessly deal with Yu Zitong, Mo Juren feared that Shen Fan might think he intentionally concealed Yu Zitong's existence and would have negative thoughts about him, so he quickly began to explain.
"No matter."
Shen Fan waved his hand, found a futon, and sat down, then put on a thoughtful expression.
He had no time to bother with Mo Juren right now, because at the same moment Yu Zitong was swallowed by the Ten Thousand Souls Banner, the mission, which had been silent, finally reacted. At this moment, he felt relieved and was somewhat eagerly waiting for the Diary System to issue the mission reward.
"Congratulations, Host, for completing the [Rescue Mo Juren] mission."
"Now calculating rewards."
...
"Congratulations, Host, for receiving one 'Xuan Tian Divine Palace'."
"Rewards have been distributed. Please check them yourself, Host."
Seeing that the rewards had been distributed, Shen Fan was about to check what kind of treasure this Xuan Tian Divine Palace was, but was suddenly drenched in cold water.
At the same time, Mo Juren, who had successfully ambushed him, quickly widened the distance between himself and Shen Fan. Only after retreating to what he considered a safe place did he burst into laughter.
"Haha."
"So what if you Cultivators have all sorts of mystical abilities?"
"Aren't you still being ambushed by me, one after another?"
"With your intelligence, with your vigilance."
"If it weren't for your good luck, being born with spiritual roots, you would at most be cannon fodder in the secular martial arts world."
Mo Juren was very pleased, as if everything was within his grasp.
However, he soon discovered something was wrong. Things did not seem to be developing as he had expected. Shen Fan, who should have quickly collapsed and wailed according to the plan, now looked completely fine, aside from some corrosion on his clothes.
It was only at this moment that the excited expression on Mo Juren's face, which had appeared due to the successful ambush, gradually faded, replaced by a pale complexion under Shen Fan's half-smile.
Douluo Continent One, Du Gu Yan Livestream: "He deserves it."
Douluo I Ye Lingling Livestream: "Agreed."
Douluo 1 Liu Erlong Livestream: "This old woman really wants to slap that trash Mo Juren to death."
Douluo Er Ma Xiaotao Livestream: "Slapping him to death, wouldn't that be too easy for him?"
Douluo I Shui Yue'er Livestream: "Good heavens."
"What kind of person is this?"
"I don't expect him to repay kindness, but he shouldn't repay kindness with enmity, right?"
"Shen Fan is really patient."
"If it were me there, I would have already thrown a series of Spirit Abilities."
"But thankfully."
"The poison Mo Juren used for the ambush couldn't harm Shen Fan at all."
"Otherwise, given the distribution of that poison, wouldn't my future happiness be gone?"
Douluo Yi Huo Wu Livestream: "You're really observant."
"But honestly, this Mo Juren is indeed a bit too much of a scoundrel."
Douluo II Wang Dong'er Livestream: "Shen Fan even thought that killing him didn't align with his true self, and was willing to increase the difficulty of pursuing Yan and the others, rather than dealing with this love rival in advance."
"He truly fed his conscience to a dog."
"In my opinion, killing such a person is not doing evil; on the contrary, it's acting on behalf of heaven and eliminating harm for the people."
Fanren Cultivation of Immortals Mo Fengwu Livestream: "I'm sorry, everyone."
"I apologize to you all on behalf of my father."
Fanren Cultivation of Immortals Mo Caihuan Livestream: "And me."
Seeing that the livestream was filled with voices expressing indignation for Shen Fan, the Mo Family women, while resentful of Mo Juren in their hearts, could only apologize repeatedly to the women speaking up for Shen Fan in the livestream, their pretty faces bitter.
And at the same juncture, the scene outside the livestream, where Shen Fan and Mo Juren had seemed frozen, suddenly moved as if someone had pressed the start button.
Mo Juren asked with a miserable smile, "How could you be fine?"
"I used this poison to take down Yu Zitong back then. This poison was clearly very effective against him, a Cultivator."
Even though he had already realized that his biggest trump card was useless against Shen Fan, and understood that the tide had turned, Mo Juren was still unwilling. Even if he died, he wanted to die with understanding.
