"What... what do you want to do? Do you intend to throttle a peerless genius from the same Heavenly Realm?" Zhao Dongming, standing beside Long Qiushui, fiercely shouted with a tone that seemed filled with anger. Yet his deathly pale face and his trembling legs seemed to betray him.

"A peerless genius? You? Or you?" Chu Mo glanced at Zhao Dongming, then at Long Qiushui.

Countless people were all looking at Long Qiushui!

Yet Long Qiushui remained silent.

But anyone could feel the tension and the shame-anger in Long Qiushui's heart at that moment.

In the entire Hanging City, there were at least several hundred thousand people. Nearly all of them had gathered here at this moment. Among these people, the majority were indigenous cultivators from the heavenly road, distinguishable by their attire and expressions. The indigenous cultivators' faces were mostly filled with curiosity.

Although they were just recently annoyed by Chu Mo causing tribulations within Hanging City, after understanding the truth and witnessing so many spectacular scenes with their own eyes, they didn't find Chu Mo so disagreeable anymore. Of course, the main reason was that Chu Mo was simply too terrifying!

The head of a triple-celestial Emperor Realm powerhouse was still hanging at his waist. Anyone who wanted to bare their teeth at him first had to weigh their own strength.

And those cultivators from the Heavenly Realm, gazing at that figure step by step approaching Long Qiushui, their eyes were almost entirely filled with reverence, and many also had complex emotions in their eyes.

Those who could enter the heavenly road and arrive here in Hanging City were almost without weaklings. Even Daluo Golden Immortals were rare to see. At the very least, the worst among them were at the Heavenly Immortal Realm. Most were grand cultivators in the true immortal stage. These people were all real powerhouses in the Heavenly Realm.

Gathered on this heavenly road, even though they clearly knew in their hearts that there were many stronger than themselves, deep inside, almost all of them were filled with pride.

Among these people, apart from the very few old-generation cultivators who entered the heavenly road just to seek opportunities to advance to the Emperor Realm to increase their life expectancy, the remaining cultivators almost all had great ambition in their hearts.

The heavenly road, the legendary path to godhood from ancient times. Looking at it today, it was still indeed a path to godhood!

The chances of falling on this road were high, but once one returned alive, they would almost certainly gain a great improvement.

A Daluo Golden Immortal enters, an Emperor comes out.

This legend had been circulating for too many years, and no one was unmoved.

Therefore, everyone wanted to seize a greater opportunity here, everyone wanted to travel further on this cultivation path than others.

They verbally showed reverence towards the young lord, but inside they were envious and jealous. Yet, in the depths of their souls... there was a faint sense of powerlessness.

After all, there really are such peerless geniuses in this world.

Today, these cultivators from the Heavenly Realm had personally witnessed a battle between geniuses and... who truly is the real genius!

The territories of the Heavenly Realm are too vast, a colossal continent without equal!

A massive land stretching across the boundless void of the open sky!

That's not a star!

Because the stars are all hanging in the endless sky above that continent. Even the vast and incomparable stars, when compared to the land of the Heavenly Realm, were likewise as minuscule as dust.

On such an endless territory, there truly are too many geniuses, as numerous as hairs on a bull.

So, it's not that geniuses aren't valuable, but that there are just too many cultivators in the Heavenly Realm. Among hundreds of millions, there will always be one or two outstanding talents that emerge.

Long Qiushui, can he be considered a genius? Absolutely!

Let any critical, proud, noble person judge, and they could not say that Long Qiushui is worthless.

Is Qin Xiaotian considered a genius? Even more so!

Because Qin Xiaotian can easily make a young adult like Long Qiushui dare not even breathe heavily in his presence! If he is not a genius, who dares to claim they are?

But even Qin Xiaotian, such a true top-tier genius who can suppress young adults and peerless Heavenly Geniuses, was still tricked by Chu Mo until he spat blood. A perfectly good cultivation path was almost completely ruined, and now he has been forced by Chu Mo to exploit the rules and carve out this heavenly road filled with endless opportunities!

As for that assassin, whose name is still unknown to the vast majority of people, does he qualify as a genius? No one dares to say otherwise!

Because even an Emperor Realm cultivator cannot detect his presence. But in front of Chu Mo, he has already turned to dust. That supreme assassin who had once attempted to assassinate two low-ranking Emperor Realms, aside from causing Chu Mo a bit of trouble on the first occasion, his next two attempts were more tragic than the last!

Is the head hanging on Chu Mo's waist that of a genius? It's hard for everyone to say. Because it's clear that Bian Kaiyu is very old. But no one would deny that Bian Kaiyu is a strong person!

Who would dare say an Emperor Realm cultivator from the Third Heavenly Layer is not a strong one; they would probably be directly spat to death with saliva!

There are quite a few Emperor Realm cultivators in the Heavenly Realm, but in proportion… they are pitifully scarce!

Such a strong person, a native overlord on the heavenly road, now had his head cut off by Chu Mo and suspended at his waist.

This domineering aura, this momentum, among the young generation of the entire Heavenly Realm, how many can there be?

Therefore, when Chu Mo looked at Zhao Dongming and Long Qiushui and asked the following question, not only did Zhao Dongming and Long Qiushui fall into silence, but also all the others... they all fell into silence as well!

In front of Chu Mo, who dares to presumptuously claim they are a genius?

After a while, Long Qiushui finally raised his head and said to Chu Mo, "It was wrong of me to send someone to assassinate you, but I can compensate."

He softened!

A young adult from the Heavenly Realm, proud and noble, finally bowed his noble head—he softened!

In the surrounding crowd, a slight stir immediately arose.

Many couldn't help but shake their heads in secret; perhaps softening and lowering one's head was the right choice, but by doing so, Chu Mo would truly become Qiushui's nightmare—his inner demon. As long as Chu Mo was alive, Qiushui's future would forever be nullified.

Hidden among the crowd, Kong Hongyi snorted through his nostrils upon seeing this. Prideful as he was, he would rather die than soften— that's what he thought. Thus, Kong Hongyi, together with his followers, turned and left.

He didn't want to stay here any longer, at least not now. He didn't want to face Chu Mo head-on.

"Wait until I, Kong Hongyi, find my own opportunity and ascend to the Emperor Realm, then I will come back to kill you!" Kong Hongyi thought to himself as he left decisively, without any hesitation.

"Compensation?" Chu Mo looked at Long Qiushui and calmly said, "Compensate me with one billion and one hundred million supreme Heavenly Crystals?"

Having seen the Shadow Sound Stone footage just now, anyone could detect the irony in Chu Mo's words.

However, Long Qiushui raised his head and said to Chu Mo, "I can compensate you with two supreme artifacts."

Shock appeared in the eyes of many people.

Supreme artifacts are the most top-tier dharma instruments in the Cultivation Realm. Each supreme artifact is truly priceless. For instance, the Mountain and River Treasure Fan that Qiushui lost earlier, if auctioned, probably could not be bought even for two billion.

Two supreme artifacts; that was a value of over forty billion. Until now, there really hasn't been a true immortal cultivator whose life was worth so much money.

Forty billion could probably be enough to buy an Emperor Realm cultivator's life.

"Am I that valuable?" Chu Mo showed a trace of a mocking smile on his face. "But I want you dead, so what do you suggest?"
