Shen Mo unequipped [Insight] and, with a thought, equipped the Special Destiny, [Danger Perception].

Then... nothing happened!

Perhaps there's no immediate danger, so the [Danger Perception]'s special effect can't be triggered!

Thinking this, he took out the Demon Slaying Sword and tossed it high into the air.

Then, he released his mental control over the Flying Sword, allowing it to fall on its own.

"BUZZ!"

Still empowered by its inherent Mana, the Demon Slaying Sword gleamed, emanating a sharp sword Qi as it shot straight towards Shen Mo's head and face.

Just an instant before it was about to pierce his body, Shen Mo's figure blurred, and he narrowly avoided the blade's edge!

"THUNK!"

The Demon Slaying Sword plunged into the hard rock as if it were tofu.

Shen Mo looked thoughtful. With a flick of his finger, he recalled the Demon Slaying Sword to his hand and launched it high into the sky again.

This time, the infused Mana was extremely potent, and he had relinquished his mental control over it.

Even someone with strong vitality like Shen Mo could be injured by the blade if he wasn't careful.

"BOOM!"

A large gash was violently slashed into the rock beneath his feet, the commotion even startling Chen Mengze inside the cave mansion.

She rushed out, sword in one hand and talisman in the other, her face full of vigilance.

"I'm just testing some magic; no need to be nervous..." Shen Mo explained. Then, he simply pulled the somewhat exasperated Chen Mengze over to help him familiarize himself with the effects of [Danger Perception].

An hour later, Chen Mengze returned to the cave mansion.

She needed to maintain her peak condition to deal with the elites from the Liu and Wu families, who could arrive at any moment.

Shen Mo, too, had put away the Demon Slaying Sword and began to ponder.

This Special Destiny, [Danger Perception], is indeed different from a cultivator's mental warnings.

Even if I deliberately block my five senses and mental state, I can still... perceive the arrival of danger!

However, this perception is rather vague!

I can't identify what the danger is, nor where it's coming from.

And it can only perceive danger within a three-breath window; beyond that, it's imperceptible!

Even so, Shen Mo was very satisfied with this Special Destiny.

In the perilous cultivation world, a cultivator's five senses and sense are sometimes unreliable.

They can not only be deceived but even misled!

This can cause cultivators to make erroneous and fatal decisions, leading them into even more dangerous situations.

Now, with [Danger Perception], even if his five senses and sense are deceived or misled, he can rely on this Special Destiny to make the correct judgment.

Furthermore, this Special Destiny is of Green quality!

If I can upgrade it to Blue, or even Purple, in the future...

Perhaps...

I might truly be able to foresee danger and nip fatal crises in the bud!

A hint of anticipation flickered in Shen Mo's heart.

The next moment, his calm expression shifted slightly.

Within the vision of his Flawless Dharma Eye, streaks of light, cultivators controlling artifacts, departed from the gates of Dasheng Mountain and Purple Bamboo Valley, flying towards Sishui City.

The Liu family has six elite members who cultivate in Dasheng Mountain and have reached the Qi Gathering Realm, including Liu Dingjiang's son, Liu Yu.

And the Wu family has four members cultivating in Purple Bamboo Valley who are at the Qi Gathering Realm!

That's ten figures in total. It seems these two families have mobilized everyone.

Excellent! This will make it easy for us to wipe them out in one go.

As for the Body Tempering Realm clansmen of the two families within Dasheng Mountain and Purple Bamboo Valley... Shen Mo and Chen Mengze couldn't infiltrate the two sects to hunt them down and kill them one by one for now.

Their subsequent plans accounted for this.

It would depend on how well the Liu and Wu families cleaned up their messes!

Shen Mo turned and entered the cave mansion. He saw Chen Mengze's face, where a fierce killing intent flickered intermittently.

He couldn't help but try to soothe her, "Senior Sister Chen, please be patient! The Liu and Wu families will definitely not escape annihilation this time."

"Let's stick to our original plan!"

Chen Mengze acknowledged with a sound and sat down cross-legged again, circulating her main cultivation method.

「Sishui City, Liu's mansion.」

After taking an Elixir, the injuries on Liu Dingjiang's face had healed, but his complexion remained ashen.

To be humiliated by some wandering rogue cultivator, who had slammed his head against the ground...

As the patriarch of the Liu family, he had lost almost all face; he simply couldn't swallow this Evil Qi.

Worse still, that Dao companion pair of rogue cultivators was after the Liu and Wu families' business interests in Sishui City.

This was even more unbearable than the harsh humiliation he had suffered!

Liu Dingjiang's heart seethed with boundless rage and infinite killing intent.

Liu Yu, who had returned from Dasheng Mountain, the five Qi Gathering Realm clansmen who had accompanied him, and the three Qi Gathering Realm members already in the mansion, were all gathered in the courtyard.

The Liu family alone boasted ten Qi Gathering Realm cultivators.

Among them, Liu Dingjiang and his son possessed cultivation at the eighth and ninth Layers of the Qi Gathering Realm!

This level of strength was enough to rival smaller immortal sects.

As long as Liu Yu advanced to the Spirit Sea Realm, the Liu family would have a significant chance of either establishing their own sect or usurping Dasheng Mountain and marginalizing its authority.

"Yu'er, I've already told you everything via talisman message! Have you informed your Master, the White Ape Master?" Liu Dingjiang asked the young man with the highest cultivation present, his face grim.

Liu Yu, bearing a sixty percent resemblance to Liu Dingjiang, had a hooked nose, deep-set eyes, and a look of arrogance.

"My Master is preoccupied with the impending demon disaster and has no intention of interfering in the disputes over interests within Sishui City," Liu Yu replied. "However, if that pair of rogue cultivators has a more powerful figure backing them from the shadows... he, my venerable Master, will not sit idly by!"

In Liu Yu's opinion, he alone could easily eliminate a mere two rogue cultivators.

His father, Liu Dingjiang, had summoned back all the clan's disciples.

He was being far too cautious!

He even felt that the Liu family alone wasn't enough, so he roped in the Wu family, the other major family in the city, just as they had done over twenty years ago when they destroyed the Chen Family.

As for the burly man among the rogue cultivators who had thrashed his father, Liu Dingjiang, Liu Yu didn't find it particularly surprising.

After all, his father had been living comfortably in the city for years and had barely fought anyone.

His current strength probably doesn't even reach sixty or seventy percent of his peak!

But he was different. Not only was his cultivation realm superior, but the magic and martial arts he practiced were all from Dasheng Mountain.

He was confident he could hold his own even against the elites of his generation from the Five Great Sects.

After hearing Liu Yu's words, Liu Dingjiang nodded. "Wu Dayong and I have agreed to set out tonight at the Rat Hour!"

"Judging by the sky, he and the Wu family cultivators should be here any moment."

Just as he was speaking, Wu Dayong arrived at the Liu family's entrance with seven Qi Gathering Realm cultivators from the Wu family.

Wanting to avoid alerting other cultivators in Sishui City, Wu Dayong and his contingent did not use Flying Escape. Instead, they suppressed their auras and approached stealthily on foot.

"Brother Liu, all eight Qi Gathering Realm cultivators from my Wu family are ready," Wu Dayong said, cupping his hands to Liu Dingjiang.

Currently, with Liu Yu's presence, the Liu family held a relatively stronger position in Sishui City.

Therefore, even if Wu Dayong was dissatisfied, he maintained a smile, appearing to defer to Liu Dingjiang and his son.

"Good! We depart for Sweet Spring Mountain!" Liu Dingjiang declared. "We'll kill that damned couple who covets our two families' assets!"
