More and more people gathered around, wanting to know what had happened, and the news spread quickly with mixed reactions.

"Haha, what bad luck, to pursue a woman only to run into an old enemy, and most importantly, this old enemy is too formidable... completely untouchable, hahaha!" Someone took pleasure in their misfortune.

"Two fools who don't know whether they're alive or dead, hilarious!" This person also reveled in the misfortune.

"Someone of Young Master Chu's status and position shouldn't stoop to their level, right?" Some people offered a different opinion, feeling a bit of pity for the two unfortunate souls.

"Why not stoop to their level? It sounds like this happened many years ago, probably when Young Master Chu had just entered the Immortal Realm. Don't forget, his realm was very low back then. Without the protection of the Realm Spirit, he might have been wrongfully killed by them! If it were you, wouldn't you hold a grudge?" This was a retort from a bloodline cultivator who could enter the Immortal Realm.

"That's true too, almost being killed by someone, this kind of hatred, I wouldn't easily let go of either." Someone supported Chu Mo in seeking trouble with them.

Some big figures from the Immortal Realm said nothing at all, simply not wanting to voice their opinions. What was there to say in this matter? Whatever Chu Mo did, it wasn't too much.

Qiu Dong's and Luo Ming's families now also knew about this news, and were almost scared to death. They hurriedly squeezed through the crowd, wanting to apologize to Chu Mo.

At this moment, Chu Mo's voice rang out, "Each of you, revoke your own cultivation, and then leave."

"No, please!" Qiu Dong suddenly let out a wail and collapsed to the ground.

On the other side, Luo Ming's body went limp and he lay there, completely terrified.

Xing'er and Yue'er's eyes showed a hint of reluctance, but they really had no stand to speak. After all, if it had been Chu Mo who had been unfortunate back then, would he even have the chance to stand on the land of the Immortal Realm today? His bones might have already rotted away, right?

"Young Master Chu... please spare my child, he's still young, he doesn't understand!" A white-haired old man walked up to Chu Mo and knelt down with a thump.

Following that, more people came forward, kneeling in front of Chu Mo, pleading for him to spare their children.

Chu Mo's face showed no sign of surprise, nor did he glance at the group kneeling before him. Instead, he turned around and showed a apologetic smile to Li Zhongyuan, Yang Xuan, and the sect master of the Elixir Sect, "Sorry to have made you witness this spectacle."

"Not at all." Li Zhongyuan and the sect master of the Elixir Sect also smiled, "It's understandable, totally understandable!"

Yang Xuan, however, coldly said to the white-haired old man, "Using your cultivation to instantly turn your hair white, what a despicable heart! That's one thing; secondly, your own family committed heinous crimes and you turned a blind eye, even pleading for them. Do you know why your families will never become great clans? It's because you harbor such scoundrels!"

Dead silence all around, those who knew Yang Xuan's identity all displayed thoughtful expressions. Not because Yang Xuan had explicitly spoken up for Chu Mo, but because of the nature of his words themselves.

Yang Xuan continued, "Perhaps you think, don't great clans and great sects also have scoundrels? I can frankly tell you that in great clans and great sects, there indeed exist scoundrels, even those who cover up and turn a blind eye to wrongdoings. But this... will never be the core values of great clans and great sects! They will never come to the fore! This is a world where strength is respected, but morals are also necessary! In my view, these two people deserve to die. Young Master Chu is already being magnanimous by giving them a way out. And you still have the audacity to come forward and plead on their behalf. Even using tactics to garner sympathy, do you think we are blind? The kids are ignorant? I see that you... also do not understand what's right!"

The white-haired old man, reprimanded by Yang Xuan, didn't dare respond with a single word, and could only kneel there silently.

At this time, Chu Mo looked up at Xing'er and Yue'er and asked gently, "The two of them are your friends. This matter, you decide." As he said this, he also transmitted his voice to the two women, "This is your best opportunity to rid yourselves of them."

After speaking, Chu Mo, still somewhat disgruntled, took Yang Xuan and beckoned the others to leave the place.

The crowd automatically made way, and the looks in their eyes towards Chu Mo shifted from previous envy to full of awe.

Until this moment, people suddenly realized that this young man who stirred up the storm in the Immortal Realm had truly reached its peak, earning a status equal to that of the great elders.

Even, it seemed... a bit higher.

Xing'er and Yue'er glanced at each other, by now, the people from the Qiu and Luo families were looking at them beseechingly. They had been so harshly scolded by Yang Xuan that they were still trembling and had not fully recovered. They could no longer utter words of pleading.

Xing'er and Yue'er were actually in a difficult position as well. By their nature, they had known Qiu Dong and Luo Ming, and there had even been mutual affections. They did not want to see them stripped of their cultivation completely. But based on their actions, they indeed deserved death. Just stripping away their cultivation was already too lenient.

"You all, just go, this is the last time we meet, and from now on... do not appear before us again," Yue'er suddenly said.

Xing'er looked at Yue'er and remained silent.

"Thank you... thank you... Yue'er!" Luo Ming, tears streaming down his face, looked up at Yue'er, understanding at this moment that he had completely lost this kind and gentle girl.

Qiu Dong still harbored some hope, looking at Xing'er, his mouth opening as if he wanted to say something.

Slap!

The old man with white hair stood up, walked over to him, and delivered a resounding slap to his face.

"Disgraceful thing, do you not understand? This is the opportunity the two young ladies exchanged with their dignity! What more is there to say? Get back to your family and from now on, don't set foot outside the family!" After speaking, the old man shouted, "Young Master Chu, your nobility is unparalleled, I am less than a human! I will cut off one of my arms as atonement! Today is a joyous day for Piaomiao Palace, we have no face to disgrace ourselves here, as an old man I mean what I say, I will return and sever my arm, forever sealing off our family!"

As he spoke, he turned and left.

Meanwhile, the Luo family members looked at each other, sighed, and said nothing as they left with the disheartened Luo Ming.

Soon after, Xing'er and Yue'er couldn't help but find Chu Mo, and the moment they saw him, both burst into tears.

"Alright, actually, I didn't really mean to do much to them. Today, here, it's not appropriate," Chu Mo said indifferently. Influence, when it boils down to it, is just that, two enemies who pose no threat to him, dispensable. He never cared much. But he had to stand up for Xing'er and Yue'er and solve their problems.

Chu Mo said, then smiled, "Today, your families should also be here, go and accompany them. I believe after this incident, they won't make things difficult for you anymore."

"We understand, thank you, Young Master!" Xing'er and Yue'er said together, bowing to Chu Mo, then left.

In the room, the head of the Elixir Sect said with a smile, "Actually, I find that Young Master Chu is quite easy to get along with."
