Although the warriors from the Imperial Clan are not of the Ji surname this time, but Chu Tianji and his son Chu Mo, in everyone's eyes, they represent the Luotian Imperial Clan.
The various evaluations from outside are not very optimistic about the Luotian Imperial Clan. Although we aren't yet at a completely one-sided situation, it's also not far from it. Most people close to the Imperial Clan remain silent because even they aren't very optimistic about Chu Tianji and his son Chu Mo.
"Chu Tianji? Haha, who's that? Oh, oh, oh… the supreme Heavenly Genius from the vast Yanhuang region? Does the Yanhuang region have cultivators? Sorry, I've really never heard of it—guess I'm just ignorant."
"Chu Tianji is a newly ascended Great Saint? I know, I know, didn't he become a saint in the Luotian Imperial City? Do they really think everyone's a fool? Haha, don't ask me why, I just never understood how the Imperial Clan's Dragon Qi could crown a fool and forcefully elevate them to Great Saint."
"The Zhong Family father and son, now they are the true supreme Heavenly Geniuses, right? Great Saint Zhong Cheng, who dominated the top spot of the Heavenly Ranking in the Trial Field for years in a row, who would dare to challenge him if he didn't leave? Zhong Sheng is also a Heavenly Genius of his generation, ranked second on the Heavenly Ranking, that's because he doesn't feel like showing his true power. Otherwise, based on that awkwardly positioned Zi Dao… he thinks he can become the top of the Heavenly Ranking?"
"Who is Chu Mo? Oh, the Lin Hei ranked ninth on the Trial Field's Heavenly Ranking, someone who shows his head but hides his tail, not worth mentioning. Never heard of the guy!"
Faced with these comments, even Liu Yunfeng and Zi Dao just smiled faintly, too lazy to pay attention. In this world, there will never be a shortage of such people, thousands of mouths saying all kinds of things. If one cares too much about it, then it's best not to even step into the Cultivation Realm.
Chu Mo's party of five left the Withered Leaf Forbidden Area and headed towards the entrance to the Luotian Immortal Domain.
Zi Dao directly found several teleportation arrays, and after several teleports, in less than two days, they arrived at the entrance to the Luotian Immortal Domain.
At this time, this place has already gathered a large number of cultivators!
This battle is truly the center of everyone's attention, for the cultivators in the Trial Field, there's no reason at all to miss it.
Therefore, a large crowd is surging towards this location.
When Chu Mo, Zi Dao, Liu Yunfeng, Lin Xiu, and the bald chef wearing a jester's mask appeared here, Zi Dao and Liu Yunfeng who were recognized instantly attracted everyone's gaze.
Then, all the people gathered here suddenly got excited and instantly focused their attention on Chu Mo!
Other than Chu Mo, who else could be together with Liu Yunfeng and Zi Dao?
"Is this Chu Mo? He's so young!" a female cultivator said timidly in the crowd, looking at the tall and handsome Chu Mo.
"Is he the Lin Hei who's foolish enough to challenge Zhong Sheng? Oh, it's Chu Mo, right? Just a guy who shows his head but hides his tail. He's got some skills and already doesn't know the vastness of Heaven and Earth."
"He's the one who has killed a saint in the Haoyue Sect!"
"How do you know that saint was really killed by him? And how do you know he didn't use any plots or schemes?"
"Is that the number one of the Heavenly Ranking, Zi Dao? He looks so handsome!"
"Liu Yunfeng also looks very awe-inspiring!"
"Is that person wearing the jester's mask the notoriously ugliest chef from the Haoyue Sect?"
Varying opinions and discussions were heard from the crowd.
Just then, a cold voice suddenly came through: "Liu Yunfeng, you dared to betray your sect and kill your mentor, yet you still dare to show up in a place like this? I've been looking for you, now why don't you come out and face your death?"
The voice thundered through the void, resounding with the rumble of the Great Dao, shaking the entire sky. Following that, a robust figure strode into the area, coming to stand in front of Liu Yunfeng.
This was a young man who looked to be in his late thirties, with a muscular build, thick brows and big eyes, eyes filled with a cold killing intent, glancing askance at Liu Yunfeng and pointing: "Come out and fight, I want to kill you with my own hands for your betrayal and sect destruction!"
"Senior Brother Zheng, what do you mean by this?" Liu Yunfeng's brow slightly furrowed, his complexion somewhat ugly, but he did not get angry.
This young man named Zheng Xiong was also a renowned figure in the Haoyue Sect, a direct disciple of the sect leader, whose strength had already reached the peak of the supreme realm several years ago. He was always low-key and didn't like to enter the Heaven and Earth Rankings, hence his reputation wasn't as loud as Liu Yunfeng's. However, the two's combat strength has always been neck and neck.
"Liu Yunfeng, don't play dumb. If you're scared, let the two accomplices beside you join in! If I even furrow my brow, then I am not a disciple of the Haoyue Sect!" Zheng Xiong said coldly.
Someone in the crowd shouted loudly in approval, "Good! Worthy of being a disciple from the Haoyue Sect, daring to stand out against a sect-defying traitor, well done!"
The voice was ethereal, and its precise location was hard to pinpoint. After these remarks, as if still not satisfied, it continued to mock: "Everyone in the world isn't stupid, and they aren't blind either. Who doesn't know that the misfortune of the Haoyue Sect was caused by these three beasts? Justice lies in the hearts of people, and the Heavenly Dao operates in cycles, retribution never fails. Creatures like these three will ultimately face retribution!"
Cold light shot from Zi Dao's eyes, seeking to locate the source of the voice.
The mocking voice came again: "What's the matter? Afraid of people talking about your deeds? It's truly laughable. In front of so many, do you also wish to silence them by murder?"
"Utter nonsense!" The bald chef was enraged, bellowing loudly: "What even are you? Do you have any idea what happened in the Haoyue Sect? It's nothing but distorting the truth and muddling right from wrong. You bastard, do you dare swear on your life's primordial spirit that everything you're saying is true?"
Lin Xiu could no longer remain silent, and she coldly said, "This was originally a matter of family vengeance, which I hadn't wished to publicize. But in this world, there always exists a small number with malicious intentions, who dare to spout nonsense under the bright sun. Do you all not want to know the truth? I will tell you! Because I am the victim involved! Moreover, I dare to swear on my cultivation, my reputation, my life's primordial spirit! If what I say contains even half a lie, may my cultivation crumble, my reputation rot for thousands of years, and my primordial spirit disintegrate! To the instigator lurking in the shadows, do you dare?"
All around, there was silence, and everyone's gaze was on this porcelain doll-like exquisite beauty.
"Xiu Xiu!" Liu Yunfeng glanced at Lin Xiu, not wanting her to divulge those matters.
Lin Xiu looked resolute, not even glancing at Liu Yunfeng, and went through the whole story from beginning to end. In the end, Lin Xiu looked coldly at Zheng Xiong: "You accuse us of betraying the sect and being unfilial to our master. Now tell me, did you know about these things I'm speaking of? Or do you know everything that's in your heart but pretend to be ignorant, parading a facade of thick eyebrows and big eyes, self-righteously accusing us? Senior Brother Zheng, I call you 'Senior Brother' one last time. If you want to pick on us, speak up! But please, do not invert right and wrong!"
Lin Xiu's words rendered the surrounding multitude completely silent. Her account was impartial from beginning to end; she didn't even conceal the fact that Liu Yunfeng, infuriated for her sake, had killed a wastrel son and sowed the seeds of disaster.
Zheng Xiong coldly said, "I don't care about those politics. All I know is, Liu Yunfeng has betrayed the sect and has been expelled from the Haoyue Sect! He is now a criminal wanted by the sect. Fire and water are incompatible; as a man, do not let a woman stand up for you. Come out and fight!"
In the void, that ethereal, elusive voice came again: "Exactly, what a coward, always letting a woman take the lead, it's simply contemptible..."
At that moment, Chu Mo, who had been silent the whole time, suddenly stretched out a hand. That hand grew massively in the void and instantly reached out towards a spot in the crowd, before precisely capturing a silhouette and holding it in his grip, bringing it before himself in a blink of an eye.
His other hand delivered a vicious slap.
Slap!
When this loud smack echoed in everyone's ears, it was as though they had just woken up from a dream.
Chu Mo moved too fast!
So fast that very few of the many onlookers caught a clear glimpse of his movements!
Many people involuntarily let out exclamations of surprise, looking on with disbelief at the scene before them.
The one held by Chu Mo was a handsome young man, now with one side of his face grotesquely swollen, and his eyes filled with boundless terror. He issued an angry shout: "You, what are you grabbing me for?"
The voice of this person sounded very different from before, and did not sound like the same person at all. Thus, many people in the audience looked at Chu Mo with dubious expressions, wondering: Could it be a mistake?
Chu Mo said nothing. Instead, he simply squeezed firmly, breaking the young man's arm. His grip combined with his powerful cultivation suppressed the young man's abilities, rendering them completely ineffective. The captive could only watch as Chu Mo crushed his arm's flesh and bones into powder, letting out a piercing scream of agony.
At this moment, finally, someone recognized this person's identity and couldn't help but exclaim: "Isn't that Zhong Yun?"
"It is indeed Zhong Yun from the Zhong Family, Zhong Sheng's cousin, no wonder..."
"So it's him, now that's unsurprising."
Many people had a look of realization; after recognizing the young man's identity, they were no longer curious about his actions of instigating in the shadows.
The father and son of the Zhong Family were currently set for a decisive battle with the Chu Family. It was natural for sworn enemies to be exceptionally hostile upon meeting.
Other cultivators who didn't initially recognize the young man came to an understanding as well, with many shaking their heads in disapproval. They thought Zhong Yun was foolish; with such a disparity in strength, he still daringly provoked without realizing his impending doom.
Little did they know, Zhong Yun himself regretted deeply, almost turning green with it. He thought relying on a dharma instrument he carried would allow him to evade the search of Chu Mo and others, stirring trouble from the shadows for Chu Mo's group. Little did he expect Chu Mo to be so terrifying, forcibly dragging him out into the open.
"You, you... you can't kill me, my brother is Zhong Sheng, I am a member of the Zhong Family!" Zhong Yun, feeling Chu Mo's killing intent more keenly than others, could not help but shout loudly.
Chu Mo originally had no intention of letting such scum go, and knowing that he was from the Zhong Family, he was even less likely to spare him. In the midst of Zhong Yun's terrified gaze, Chu Mo casually made a move, decisively erasing him.
Instantly, deathly silence fell all around!
