The first one was Ye Qing.

She used a communication stone to convey this message to Chu Mo, although she was not certain if the young master was Chu Mo, she was still worried. If it really was him, there could be danger. Hence, in her transmission, she strongly advised Chu Mo not to confront Zhong Sheng.

"My master told me that Zhong Sheng will definitely set an ambush to kill you because you have the strength to cleave a Holy One. My master says that Zhong Sheng is very treacherous."

No sooner had Ye Qing relayed this message than the telepathic fluctuations from Jiang Caiyue came through.

"So you are Chu Mo? No wonder..."

Chu Mo: "..."

"You don't need to speak, just listen," said Jiang Caiyue, cutting to the chase without any unnecessary words. Although the Patriarch of the Jiang Family had already warned her, and although Jiang Caiyue could count on one hand the number of people who could be sure that Lin Hei was Chu Mo, which was only Zi Dao and Liu Yunfeng, she still thought of helping Chu Mo once. She had never liked the Zhong Family, for a simple reason: like the Xue Family, they had wanted to form a marriage alliance with the Jiang Family, and their candidate was Zhong Sheng!

Just as outstanding men attract many women, outstanding women likewise draw the attention of countless men.

Naturally, Jiang Caiyue was an exceedingly outstanding woman, hailed as a peerless Heavenly Genius in the vast cosmos of Luotian.

Through the communication stone, she said to Chu Mo: "You don't have to deny it, I know you are Chu Mo. What I want to tell you now is, never agree to Zhong Sheng's challenge. He will definitely trap you!"

"What do you think, if I were Chu Mo, would I refuse?" Chu Mo asked.

There was a pause on the other end before the voice replied: "Alright then, do you trust me?"

Chu Mo was slightly taken aback, followed by a moment of silence.

Jiang Caiyue on the other end continued: "If you trust me, then I will arrange the place for this battle. What do you say?"

"Give me a reason," Chu Mo transmitted his thoughts back.

There was another pause on the other side, and then the reply came: "What if I say I want to become your brother, like Zi Dao and Liu Yunfeng? Would you believe that?"

"What?" Chu Mo's mouth twitched slightly, and his expression suddenly became very animated: "You want to become my brother? You?"

"What? A woman can't be your brother?" Jiang Caiyue was immediately fired up: "Or are you looking down on women?"

"No, no, I didn't mean that..." Chu Mo's mouth twitched more severely, even Zi Dao and Liu Yunfeng at a distance cast puzzled glances his way.

Chu Mo shook his hand at them, indicating that it was nothing.

"That's exactly what you mean, Chu Mo. I'm being completely truthful here. I've never said this to anyone else, and you are the first!" The slightly annoyed telepathic fluctuations from Jiang Caiyue came through.

Chu Mo responded with a wry smile: "Your reason is quite bewildering. But, I believe you."

"Thank you." Jiang Caiyue replied from the other side, then said, "I'll contact you once I've made arrangements. But I can only guarantee a fair environment for you, the fight between you and him is entirely up to you."

Chu Mo nodded: "That's enough, thank you."

After that, he shut off the communication stone.

At this moment, the telepathic vibrations on the communication stone came through again, this time from Zhang Yalu.

This cold and noble woman was, as always, straightforward.

"Should I call you Lin Hei, or should I call you Chu Mo?"

"Whichever."

"Oh, then I'll call you Chu Mo. You better not agree to fight Zhong Sheng; he's very sly. He will definitely trap you."

"I must fight. Moreover, Jiang Caiyue just told me that she would help arrange the place for the fight," Chu Mo responded.

Zhang Yalu remained silent for a while, then said, "Okay, tell me the location when the time comes, I will come to watch the battle." After pausing for a moment, she added, "Even though I'm not very fond of Jiang Caiyue, she is trustworthy."

After speaking, she turned off the voice-transmitting stone.

Chu Mo looked at Zi Dao and Liu Yunfeng, then glanced at Lin Xiu and the baldy practicing in the distance, and smiled, "I must accept Zhong Sheng's challenge." Seeing his brothers about to speak, Chu Mo shook his head, "I know, I have countless reasons not to accept the challenge. But when it comes down to it, all those reasons point to one fact, that I'm not strong enough. If I were powerful enough, why would I fear any challenge?"

Zi Dao and Liu Yunfeng fell silent. They knew Chu Mo was telling the truth. If Chu Mo were as overwhelmingly powerful as that monkey, why would he fear any challenge?

"Jiang Caiyue just told me that she would arrange the place for the battle." Chu Mo did not mention the reason Jiang Caiyue was helping him, because he felt that it was Jiang Caiyue's personal privacy, and he did not want to gossip about it.

"Jiang Caiyue? She indeed has bad relations with the Zhong Family." Zi Dao said, and suddenly, two beams of light burst forth from his eyes. He slapped his forehead and said, "I've always felt like I've forgotten something very important. The ancestors of the Zhong Family... one of them was a supreme being, that existence..."

Zi Dao stopped speaking here, even in the Trial Field, speaking too much about those supreme beings could also potentially alert those existences. But the point was made sufficiently clear even with this much said.

Two icy beams of light also shot from Chu Mo's eyes.

Zhong Family.

Zhong Cheng.

Zhong Sheng.

You wish for a father and son versus father and son slaughter? I will show you with facts that I alone can slay both you and your son!

Several days later, Chu Mo's voice-transmitting stone conveyed Jiang Caiyue's spiritual fluctuation. After Chu Mo activated the voice-transmitting stone, Jiang Caiyue's clear and cold voice came from the other side, "I have agreed on your behalf with Zhong Sheng. In half a month, at the outskirts of the Jiang Family ancestral city in the Luotian Immortal Domain, a mini-world arena will be set up. At that time, the Patriarch of Jiang Family will personally be present to oversee and ensure that no one dares to interfere. The Imperial Clan of Luotian will also send people to watch the battle. Your parents should also be present. Even... the Emperor might grace the event with his presence. After your battle with Zhong Sheng, Great Saint Zhong Cheng... will fight your father on that same field. Then, who will exact vengeance on whom will depend on your own abilities. Chu Mo, this battle is already bound to the dignity and honor of the Luotian Imperial Clan, even if you might not wish to recognize or acknowledge this, but the fact remains so. Therefore, in this period, someone from the Imperial Clan of Luotian might contact you through my voice-transmitting stone."

After a moment of silence, Jiang Caiyue continued, "The relationship between the Jiang Family and the Luotian Imperial Clan, I presume you might have heard something about it. Hence, no matter from which perspective, I stand with the Luotian Imperial Clan. But for years, the Jiang Family has maintained a neutral stance. Thus, it's unlikely to be excessively biased towards any side."

"Jiang Caiyue, thank you. However, as for the contacts from the Luotian Imperial Clan, let's put that aside for now. I want to use this half a month to calm my heart and cultivate," Chu Mo said.

On the other side, Jiang Caiyue said, "What can you cultivate in half a month? I advise you not to refuse the help from the Luotian Imperial Clan. They are not only helping you but also helping themselves."

"There's no need for that," Chu Mo refused. Although he had come to understand many things, including that his life had been saved at the cost of the present emperor suffering heavy injuries, he still had his own convictions. Moreover, he did not feel that the Luotian Imperial Clan could offer much help to him. He possessed the Chaos Furnace, the Heavenly Mirror, and Heaven Slaying. Could the Luotian Imperial Clan possibly entrust the Emperor's Seal to him?

"Alright, I will convey your opinion to them. That's it then, good luck." Jiang Caiyue turned off the transmission stone.

After Chu Mo discussed this matter with Zi Dao and Liu Yunfeng, Zi Dao also said, "I think you should not be too quick to refuse the goodwill of the Luotian Imperial Clan."

Liu Yunfeng nodded as well, "Anyway, your connection with the Imperial Clan is inseparable."

Chu Mo smiled, "I will not refuse their goodwill, but, for this matter, I want to face it myself."

Zi Dao and Liu Yunfeng both looked at Chu Mo with some confusion, but as brothers, they naturally respected Chu Mo's wishes and said no more.

In Chu Mo's heart, he had his own considerations. Not only because he felt that the Luotian Imperial Clan's help was limited, but also because his parents had now received the emperor's recognition and had joined the Imperial Clan. However, the emperor's recognition did not equate to the entire Imperial Clan's acknowledgment. Although his mother had entered the Great Saint Realm and was originally a princess of the Imperial Clan with deep roots that not just anyone could shake, his father was different. Coming from the Yanhuang Domain, it was likely that he would not receive much recognition within the entire Imperial Clan. Thus, Chu Mo had to face the battle against Zhong Cheng – he must fight and he must win!

Therefore, Chu Mo was also thinking of offering some help to his father when the time came, but he believed that his father, despite his overbearing aura, was not a rash man without strategy. Having endured for so many years in the Yanhuang Domain, almost deceiving everyone with the disguise of a drunkard, how could he be a brute?

So, in the father-son battle against the Zhong Family, Chu Mo was very confident.

In the following days, Chu Mo began his quiet cultivation. Although even in the eyes of Zi Dao and Liu Yunfeng a few days' time was unlikely to bring about significant improvement, they did not want to dampen Chu Mo's enthusiasm.

In fact, Chu Mo was well aware of this truth, but he still wanted to try and use these few days to strive for a breakthrough into the Quasi-Saint realm.

Ten days later, they needed to set out, for if they were any later, they would miss the battle.

Over these days, Chu Mo paid no attention to worldly affairs, no longer caring about the various rumors that stirred up. In fact, the upcoming battle between the Luotian Imperial Clan and the Zhong Family had already sent the outside world into a frenzy.

The Luotian Imperial Clan's vast armies had already begun their thunderous battles, sweeping through many predetermined targets with an overwhelming momentum. The armies had not immediately targeted those supreme existences' families. What they had cleansed were mostly powers that had been duplicitous towards the Imperial Clan over the years, including some with deep connections to the supreme families.

At present, it seemed the Imperial Clan's armies would not yet be confronting the core forces of those supreme families head-on. Thus, nearly the entire Immortal Domain and the Seven Great Domains below were all focusing their attention on the battle between the Imperial Clan and the Zhong Family.
