"No!" Chu Mo let out a scream of extreme grief and indignation.

Everything had happened too suddenly and too quickly; there was no time to prevent it. Presumably, even the soul of the Elf prince that had possessed Qi Xiaoyu's body had not anticipated that the seemingly delicate and frail princess of the Elf Clan could be so fiercely resolute.

Qi Xiaoyu's figure disappeared instantly into the eye of the storm, followed by a series of agonizing screams. All were produced by that indistinguishable voice, and from beginning to end, Qi Xiaoyu herself made not a single sound!

Chu Mo felt darkness before his eyes, and a sensation of the world spinning came over him. He stumbled, nearly falling to the ground.

He gazed distractedly at the spot where the eye of the storm had swallowed up Qi Xiaoyu's form.

His eyes almost completely lost their luster, his entire being stood frozen in total shock.

The scene from years past seemed to replay before his eyes.

A mouthful of fresh blood sprayed from Chu Mo's mouth as he let out a long, sorrowful howl, his anguish verging on madness.

Those who were fighting the Snow Ape below all froze in place, bewildered expressions appearing in their eyes.

Yue Qingcheng and Hu Lie had not joined the battle, having already declared their withdrawal. Hearing Chu Mo's cry of extreme sorrow and fury, worry was written all over both their faces.

However, Long Qiushui's eyes revealed a hint of excitement, and he laughed heartily, "Delightful! What does it matter if one goes up first? Got yourself soundly beaten, didn't you? Hahahaha!"

Huang Wushuang frowned, launching attacks against the Snow Ape while pondering to herself: That sound... it doesn't seem like it came from a battle, does it? What exactly happened up there to make him so sad and angry?

A flicker of uncertainty passed through Yiyi's eyes. Upon hearing Chu Mo's grief-stricken roar, her heart trembled. Based on previous speculations, she seemed to guess what might have happened. If she was right, it should be good news for her.

But for some reason, upon hearing Chu Mo's cry, Yiyi felt a piercing pain in her heart. She couldn't muster any sense of joy.

Lu Hongxue, Xuan'er, and Xuanxuan were all stunned, turning their gazes toward the mountain peak.

At that moment, the Snow Ape suddenly roared and, abandoning its efforts to stop them, dashed madly toward the mountain peak.

Its massive body leaped a hundred zhang in a single bound, vanishing from their sight in the blink of an eye.

The crowd exchanged glances, not hesitating for an instant and rushed toward the mountain peak.

Yue Qingcheng and Hu Lie followed, having little hope of winning the gentiana, their greater concern being whatever might have befallen Chu Mo.

At the mountain peak.

At the eye of the storm.

As Qi Xiaoyu's body disappeared there.

The eye of the storm began to churn violently.

Boom!

A great, vast aura burst forth, seeming to bear down on the heavens itself.

It was a terrifying presence!

It was as if the very sky... could not fully contain it!

Subsequently, a silvery-gray plant, shimmering brightly, shot out from the eye of the storm, seemingly attempting to break through the void and escape.

Gentiana!

Chu Mo's Heaven's Mirror burst forth from his chest in an instant, a flash of light, and the gentiana vanished into the void.

Then the Heaven's Mirror returned to Chu Mo like nothing had happened.

Shortly after, the eye of the storm also made a loud bang and disappeared from that spot.

As the eye vanished in a flash, the Snow Ape... leaped directly towards it, its form flashing out of existence.

Chu Mo walked towards the location of the original eye of the storm with uncertainty, where now there was nothing. The mountain wind howled, now just an ordinary wind, cold as a blade's edge, but no longer a threat to cultivators.

Where the eye of the storm used to be, there was a bottomless pit. Chu Mo walked straight to it, without hesitating, prepared to jump down.

He refused to believe that Qi Xiaoyu was truly dead!

The unmatched Elf body through ten thousand ages, the sole Seven-orifice Heart of Heaven and Earth.

"""Such a favored child of Heaven, how could he perish in this Eye of the Wind?"""

Just then, an icy voice suddenly came from behind, "Kid, did you take the gentiana?"

Chu Mo stopped in his tracks, turned around calmly, and looked at the person who had appeared behind him. That person had actually come from another direction, where the winds of Dao Conversion were even more terrifying. The path the group had chosen before was supposed to be the safest one. The winds of Dao Conversion in other directions were incredibly fierce, such that even great figures in the Emperor Realm might not be able to withstand them.

Chu Mo looked at the man in front of him whose fair skin and handsome appearance would make even women jealous, "Who are you?"

"Kong Hongyi!" The man looked at Chu Mo with pride, "Hand over the gentiana and then get lost."

"Get lost!" Chu Mo's voice was very calm, saying only one word.

But deep inside, he was still immersed in the recent grief.

An unimaginable fury was smoldering inside him, like a sea of ​​flames, raging fiercely!

Back then, he hated his own powerlessness, unable to protect the girl he liked, watching helplessly as she vanished into thin air before his eyes, disappearing from the Mortal Realm.

Today he still hated his powerlessness, facing Qi Xiaoyu's departure, he had no ability to salvage it!

Chu Mo hated himself intensely, as well as that Elf prince.

But more than that... he felt a sense of helplessness.

He even felt utterly disheartened.

In such a state, Kong Hongyi who had once publicly sought a battle with Chu Mo on the faith plaque, actually appeared before Chu Mo. Demanding Chu Mo hand over the gentiana with a face full of arrogance instantly ignited the towering anger in Chu Mo's heart.

However, as it happened, with Chu Mo's dismissal, Kong Hongyi also became furious!

A dignified young nobleman, among the most elite Heavenly Geniuses of the Heavenly Realm, a true immortal at the peak who has never been defeated, when has he ever been told to "get lost" to his face?

Therefore, Kong Hongyi immediately made his move, the winds of Dao Conversion in the area had dissipated, and the Eye of the Wind was nowhere to be seen, making his actions completely unimpeded. Therefore, Kong Hongyi had no reservations and instantly raised his combative power to the peak of true immortals, and with a heavy slap, aimed it at Chu Mo's face. It was full of a humiliating flavor.

Chu Mo, although injured, wasn't thinking about that in his state of utter despair. He directly raised his combat power to the apex, and like a madman, charged towards Kong Hongyi.

He threw a punch!

Vast energy roiled and tumultuously pierced through the void.

Heavenly Fist from the Three Talents Boxing Technique!

A punch weighing ten thousand pounds!

Earth-shatteringly powerful!

Chu Mo was too fast!

Like a streak of light, a look of surprise appeared in Kong Hongyi's eyes. It's one thing to hear about it, but witnessing it personally was another matter entirely.

He finally understood that Chu Mo's previous combat record was not an exaggeration by others, and he quickly retracted the arm that was reaching towards Chu Mo to block Chu Mo's punch.

Bang!

There was a muffled sound.

The two clashed head-on with brute force.

Chu Mo utilized the lin character mnemonic from the Nine Word Mantra—unmovable as a mountain!

He stood there, not budging an inch.

A faint sound of bones cracking came from Kong Hongyi's arm, and his body couldn't help but stagger back several steps. His face filled with shock as he looked at Chu Mo, "How is this possible?"

Chu Mo's punch had actually caused a fracture in his arm!

Moreover, when that mighty force struck him, it felt as if a giant mountain had collided with him, causing his internal organs to churn.

Kong Hongyi struggled to regulate his body, and as he looked at Chu Mo, his eyes carried a hint of caution. He hadn't anticipated Chu Mo's close combat abilities to be so formidable.

"Get lost!"
