At this point, everyone present fell silent. Yet, nobody cursed out loud. Because someone who could push Chu Tianji, the great elder of the Chu Family, to this state was beyond their imagination.

"He took away my wife, destroyed my physical body and cultivation, leaving me only a sliver of life. He also laid down many harsh conditions for me to follow," Chu Tianji said calmly with a face full of vicissitudes, "But I don't hate him. He was forced to do so. Just sparing my life, he already faced immense pressure. However, I can comply with the other things, but I can't ignore my child. I have already failed to protect my wife, if I can't even protect my own child, then what's the point of me living in this world?"

"Father!" Chu Mo cried out in grief.

A trace of gentleness flashed through Chu Tianji's eyes. His big beard covered his face, but his eyes seemed a bit sad. He looked at Chu Mo, "But in reality, over these years, although I have been watching over you, I truly didn't intervene in your affairs. Even when you faced life and death crises several times. Even the last time you were in the Immortal Realm, when that little rascal came to kill you, I just watched. Watched as the Buddhist sect intervened, and helped you through that calamity. That time, I tolerated it again and again, but this time, I don't want to endure anymore. I don't believe that he would come over, and they would not notice at all. One of the conditions they imposed on me back then was that they would not lay hands on my child. But they've broken this agreement twice. Why should I still comply?"

Chu Mo let out a deep breath, his heart was tumultuous. He had never desired to become stronger as much as he did now, never longed like at this moment to step into the Supreme Realm. Even the obsession of saving his family all along wasn't as intense as right now.

Chu Tianji looked at Chu Mo, his eyes showing affection, "Child, you have grown up and become sensible. You are excellent, the Chu Family's future is secure in your hands."

"Father, since things have already come to this, why can't we go back together?" Chu Mo looked at Chu Tianji and asked softly.

"They acted twice, I acted once. Speaking of which, that young junior, two against one, we're even. Even if they know, they have no face to say much or do something," Chu Tianji sighed lightly. "But if I go back with you to the Chu Family and start appearing before the world as a top cultivator, that... would be a serious provocation. Actually, you are my son, your character has many aspects like your mother, but deep down, a lot too is like mine. You should understand me, I am not afraid."

Chu Tianji's voice was very calm, but it made everyone present tremble in their hearts.

Yes, fearless! When have the Chu Family ever feared? An epoch ago, they shattered the vast Yanhuang realm, almost bringing the entire cosmos to collapse, yet they were unafraid! An epoch later, people of the Chu lineage, despite knowing they would perish, went forward without fear!

Chu Tianji looked at Chu Mo, "I do not provoke them, first to give you time to grow; secondly, because of your mother."

"My mother…" Chu Mo's nose was sour, his heart filled with sorrow, he was very upset, the sadness in his heart indescribable.

"Yes, your mother, she is definitely not having it easy there. Even a little beast dared to publicly humiliate her," Chu Tianji said, his gaze intense as he looked at Chu Mo: "Son, remember, cultivate diligently, step into the Supreme Realm and learn to lie low. Sometimes... even understand to compromise and endure. One day, we will have our opportunity. Let those who have once humiliated us, bullied us, pay the price."

Chu Tianji said this, then firmly patted Chu Mo on the shoulder. Then, he glanced at the black-robed young woman Qi Xiaoyu next to him, and slightly frowned, "Your heart holds a demon, what's this about?"

"Father, she is…" Chu Mo hurriedly tried to introduce Qi Xiaoyu's status, as there had been no opportunity before.

He apologetically looked at Qi Xiaoyu, who immediately returned a comforting look to him. They both understood each other, no need for many words.

"She is my daughter-in-law. I know," Chu Tianji interrupted Chu Mo, then looked seriously at Qi Xiaoyu, his brow furrowed, seemingly contemplating something.

This term "daughter-in-law" made Qi Xiaoyu's heart bloom with joy, her cheeks reddening, her eyes looking tenderly at Chu Mo. Chu Mo too was filled with joy.

Though they did not need others' blessings and approval, being truly accepted and recognized by his father-in-law brought a profound joy.

Suddenly, Chu Tianji said, "Girl, stretch out your hand, not that one, the one with the bracelet…"

Qi Xiaoyu was slightly startled, but without hesitation, she extended her hand wearing the dark holy bracelet.

Chu Tianji frowned and carefully examined it for a long while, then finally nodded, "Indeed, it's a holy artifact, and... it's been purified, such pure dark energy, there's no problem." Then, he said to Qi Xiaoyu, "Show me that sword."

Qi Xiaoyu took out the ancient long sword and handed it to Chu Tianji.

As Chu Tianji touched the sword handle, the numerous runes on the long sword suddenly lit up, as if preparing to launch an attack.
