This scene was naturally invisible to the disciples of the Illusion Sect, but all the high-ranking elders beside Li Zhongyuan could see it clearly. Their faces drastically changed.

"Spiritual Leader!"

"Spiritual Leader, what's wrong with you?"

"What's going on?"

"How could this be?"

The leader of the Immortal Realm's Illusion Sect, although far from matching the monks of the Heavenly Realm and perhaps not even a match for an ordinary disciple, held a position that was the spiritual leader of the entire sect. It wasn't a seat just anyone could take.

Even if many people regarded this position as nothing more than a puppet, devoid of the true power to awe the cultivators of the Heavenly Realm's Illusion Sect, its significance... was extraordinarily exceptional.

Therefore, every action of Li Zhongyuan in fact affected both the Immortal and the Heavenly Realms. His sudden injury had startled everyone a bit.

Li Zhongyuan waved his hand and didn't speak, his expression grave as he walked towards the grand hall.

The crowd exchanged looks and followed behind him.

After arriving in the grand hall and before anyone could react, Li Zhongyuan vomited a mouthful of fresh blood with a 'wa' sound. His complexion instantly turned pale.

Then he took a deep breath and his spirits seemed to improve significantly. Looking at the puzzled faces around him, Li Zhongyuan sighed lightly and said, "This young man is indeed worthy of comparison with the top heavenly geniuses of the Heavenly Realm, he truly is... far from simple!"

"What? Did Chu Mo do this?"

"This bastard... how dare he!"

"Damn it, let's settle the score with him!"

The elders of the Illusion Sect, whether genuinely agitated or not, couldn't help but become restless.

Li Zhongyuan waved his hand: "Sit down, it has nothing to do with him, it was me..."

As he spoke, he sat down somewhat feebly on a chair, and then the others also slowly took their seats, looking at him with puzzled faces.

Li Zhongyuan said, "Just now, Chu Mo's words were not an exaggeration, nor were they boasting. He was really... just stating a fact. Before he left, he transmitted a message to me, saying that if I turned around and took a step forward, I would be injured; and if I moved three steps to the left... I would die!"

"Ah?" Everyone looked at Li Zhongyuan with shocked faces, some even finding it hard to believe the truth of these words.

What did it mean to turn and step forward to get injured, and move three steps to the left to die? What did that mean?

Elder Luo, who had led Chu Mo up the mountain, muttered to himself, "Could it be that Young Master Chu has used a Supreme Art that has been lost for countless years?"

All eyes turned to Elder Luo, and someone said, "What Supreme Art?"

Elder Luo's face also reflected a degree of uncertainty as he said, "It should be... Fengshui Divine Art."

"Fengshui Divine Art? What kind of divine ability is that? How come I have never heard of it? Fengshui... is it those tricks played by yin and yang masters to fool the common folk?" someone disdainfully said.

Another person, however, spoke with a solemn expression, "Fengshui Divine Art, I seem to have come across it in an ancient text within the scripture repository. It's said to be a rather complex and powerful technique. It can attack, defend, and infer by stirring the forces of nature and using energy discernment to achieve certain objectives. I don't really understand the specifics."

"Is there really such a divine ability?" the one who had just dismissed it as a deception was somewhat skeptical.

Elder Luo nodded, "Of course, that supreme figure once shone gloriously. But it has been lost for endless eons. The methods used by Young Master Chu today seem very similar to the ones described in the legends about that supreme figure."

Li Zhongyuan nodded and sighed, "It's not just similar, it must be the same!"

Everyone fell silent at once, no one had expected that Chu Mo actually possessed such a terrifying great art.

Someone asked, "Isn't the Demon Lord Chu Mo's master?"

The implication was clear: if the Demon Lord didn't know it, how could Chu Mo possibly know?

Elder Luo said, "A person can only have one master in their life, the one who enlightens and teaches them. However, it's possible to have many teachers! And the things those teachers teach might even be much more advanced than what the master teaches. What's so strange about that?" Elder Luo, while speaking, looked at Li Zhongyuan and asked, "Sect Leader, did you go and test it out after hearing his transmitted message?"

At this point, everyone's gaze once again focused on Li Zhongyuan.

Li Zhongyuan gave a wry smile and said, "I have a supreme dharma instrument protecting my body, and I don't believe Young Master Chu would really want to harm me. But what harmed me... was my overconfidence. Because I didn't detect anything unusual."

With these words, all the people present fell silent. Because they, too, hadn't detected anything unusual!

Li Zhongyuan continued, "So, I was a bit skeptical of Chu Mo's words. I knew that his message was to tell me that he wasn't bluffing or being arrogant. But I really didn't believe it. Therefore, I turned around and took a step forward."

As Li Zhongyuan spoke, he took out a small seal from his body. Everyone recognized it at a glance, this simple and ancient black seal was the supreme token of the entire Illusion Sect—the Sect Leader's Command!

At the same time, it was also a genuine supreme dharma instrument! Moreover, it was one of the top-tier ones.

Yet the greatest function of this supreme instrument was defense, not offense.

At this moment, everyone could clearly see that there was a very distinct trace on the ancient black seal. Although it was fading little by little, it was still very conspicuous.

"This is..." Elder Luo said somewhat dumbfounded, "Is this the mark left by Chu Mo activating the great vein beneath our Illusion Sect to launch an attack?"

A single sentence revealed astonishing information.

Chu Mo could actually activate the great vein beneath the Illusion Sect! That vein was the ancestral vein of the entire Illusion Sect over countless years, and their real dragon vein!

It was said that such a dragon vein had already become sentient!

Generation after generation served offerings to the Illusion Sect, nurturing countless descendants of the sect. Now, an outsider had easily activated it to attack their own people.

Was this possible?

Secondly, this attack was quite fierce and actually left a mark on a supreme instrument. If the Sect Leader hadn't been wearing a supreme instrument... what then?

Everyone felt a chill in their hearts.

An elder who had already been displeased with Chu Mo said coldly, "He's clearly trying to kill the Sect Leader! His heart is malicious!"

Li Zhongyuan waved his hands somewhat helplessly, "It's not that serious, that attack... it becomes stronger when met with strength, and weaker when met with weakness. I'm quite sure of this. Even if I hadn't been wearing this supreme instrument, I wouldn't have been in any danger. But if I had taken another three steps to the left... then it would be hard to say. But the person did warn me."

As Li Zhongyuan spoke, he looked at the people with a sharp gaze and said in a deep voice, "I'm very clear that all of you seated here have connections with the Illusion Sect of the Heavenly Realm. There's nothing wrong with that, as we are essentially one family. But connection aside, I still hope that Elder Qiu's death can serve as a reminder to everyone. Since we claim to be the most reasonable sect in the Immortal Realm, let's continue to promote this style. Keeping a steady Dao heart is more important than rapidly increasing one's cultivation."

At this moment, everyone fell silent again. What more was there to say? From the very beginning, Chu Mo hardly made a move, and they had later shifted their focus to Qin Shi. In the end... before Chu Mo left, he still gave them a slap in the face, making their cheeks sting while also making them clearly understand one thing.

Chu Mo remains the most frightening person in this Immortal Realm!

Without equal.
