The impact of the Demon Lord's battle began to unfold gradually in the days that followed.

Firstly, everyone across the Four Symbols Continent, including those without any connection to here on the White Tiger Continent and the Black Tortoise Continent, came to know about this incident.

The Demon Lord's unbeatable track record silenced the entire Four Symbols Continent!

Even the elders of the Lonely City were treated by the Demon Lord as if they were worn-out dolls, casually tossed away. Who else would dare underestimate this person?

"Chu Mo? That irritating little creature? How could he possibly have such a formidable master?" In a far-off paradise-like place, an ice-cold woman with an extremely beautiful appearance furrowed her brows, murmuring to herself.

If Chu Mo were here, he would recognize this woman, the immortal who took away Miao Yiniang—Shen Aobing!

At this moment, Shen Aobing was holding a secret letter sent by the head of the immortal's subordinate school. The letter detailed the events that took place in Yanhuang City.

Reading the letter left Shen Aobing somewhat chilled. The youngest elder in Lonely City, Elder Gu Yu, was caught like a child by that brat's master, slapped and thrown away.

It was said that after Elder Gu Yu returned to Lonely City, he went into closed-door cultivation. He did not see anyone! He was determined to seek revenge.

In Shen Aobing's mind, she couldn't help but recall the lone encounter between her and Chu Mo.

"You can't offend me!"

Chu Mo's words that she considered as delusional at that time now made Shen Aobing feel a chill in her heart. She even felt somewhat relieved that the young brat's master did not appear back then. Otherwise, her fate might not have been much better than Elder Gu Yu's.

"It seems that the brat's Master might be a preeminent power..." Shen Aobing held her forehead with her hand, a trace of surprise showed on her otherwise cold face. Soon after, a woman approached from the distance.

"Master, you called for me?" The woman's voice was sweet, and her appearance unrivaled. She looked at Shen Aobing with great respect.

This woman was none other than Miao Yiniang, who had disappeared from the secular world!

Shen Aobing looked at Miao Yiniang, her cold face revealing a faint smile, "Yiniang, how have you been recently? Have you acclimatized?"

Miao Yiniang sweetly smiled, "Very good, Master. My senior sisters have been taking good care of me, making me feel like I'm at home."

"Good, then." Shen Aobing looked at Miao Yiniang, hesitating slightly before saying, "About what I told you before regarding the marriage alliance with Beyond Heaven, let's drop it for now. We, the immortals, don't need to prove anything through marriage alliances. You can decide on this matter. If you don't want it, no one can force you."

Miao Yiniang was slightly taken aback, then she beamed, "Thank you Master!"

"No need to thank me..." The corner of Shen Aobing's mouth twitched slightly, in her mind thinking: If anyone, you should be thanking that young master of yours. I too am not willing to have my disciple enter into a marriage alliance, but that elder from Beyond Heaven really isn't someone to be trifled with. However, I suppose I'm off the hook now. If they must look for someone, they might as well go to that brat's master—I can't make the call.

Miao Yiniang was a highly perceptive person, equipped with the ability to discern situations and sense moods better than all her fellow disciple sisters of the immortals sect. She could clearly sense her Master's unease. Additionally, they've personally canceled the arranged marriage they had mentioned before.

Was it possible… that something has happened in the secular world again?

Miao Yiniang wondered.

At this moment, Shen Aobing faintly spoke, "Yiniang, tell me more... about Chu Mo."

.....

On Mount Immortal, atop the Lonely God Peak.

Longevity Heaven's arena.

Seventh Elder Zhao Hongzhi sat quietly in his chair, a cup of tea in front of him. The tea had already cooled, yet the usually tea-loving Zhao Hongzhi hadn't taken a single sip.

News of the incident in Yanhuang City had reached his ears as well. For most people, this news elicit shock and disbelief, but as for Zhao Hongzhi, he felt it as if he had been through it all firsthand.

He recalled the time he was kicked out of Yanhuang City, nearly to his death. That scene was something that Zhao Hongzhi could never forget. In fact, it had created such a deep shadow in his heart that he knew it would accompany him for the rest of his life!

Because of that incident, not too long ago, the head of Longevity Heaven had called him over for a conversation.

From that talk, Zhao Hongzhi learned that a talented young disciple who had been active in the mortal world and representing Longevity Heaven's interests by joining the Azure Dragon Hall, had been ruined by Chu Mo.

The disciple had already reached the fifth level of the Iron Blood Realm, a realm considered Yellow Rank. Undeniably, without unexpected circumstances, he would have become an elder in charge of external affairs in Longevity Heaven.

But now, he was left only with the fourth level of the Iron Bone Realm, one of his arms even missing!

The man was completely ruined.

"He is very talented, but he's completely ruined now. I have personally inspected the seal within his elixir field and have asked several great elders to do the same. No one is able to undo it." said the Head of Longevity Heaven, looking grim. "Furthermore, Elder Fu Long has disappeared. By all indications, he's likely dead more than alive."

At that time, Zhao Hongzhi had remained silent.

It wasn't until the master of Longevity Heaven looked at him and asked, "I heard that Elder Fu Long was determined to kill Chu Mo to avenge you, is that right?"

Zhao Hongzhi's heart trembled slightly, and he replied hesitantly: "The matter... is like this..."

Thus, Zhao Hongzhi repeated the incident wherein Chu Mo, who was then quite untalented, wanted to become a disciple of Longevity Heaven. As he knew Chu Mo's grandfather, he couldn't show favoritism and had no choice but to turn Chu Mo away.

"Maybe Chu Mo said something provocative when he met Elder Fu Long. As a young man, he was understandably upset when I rejected him." Zhao Hongzhi told the master, "Aside from this reason, I can't think of why Elder Fu Long would want to kill him. As for avenging me... I feel somewhat guilty towards the kid. What grudge do I have against him?"

The Master of Longevity Heaven looked at Zhao Hongzhi and asked, "You mentioned that Chu Mo was untalented, but why... how could he change so drastically in less than a year?"

Zhao Hongzhi forced a smile, replying, "Master, he has a Pre-celestial Master... In front of such a powerful figure, what can't be changed?"

The master of Longevity Heaven was silent for a long time before shaking his head and sighing, "You're right... Pre-celestial... we at Longevity Heaven are only left with one Pre-celestial elder. We better not provoke this person for now. Unless one day, his master ascends..."

Zhao Hongzhi's eyes lit up instantly.

The Master of Longevity Heaven then added, "However, such powerful figures will definitely leave enough protection for their own disciples before they ascend. Let me think, if possible, we should try to resolve this feud. After all... having such an enemy makes us uneasy."

Zhao Hongzhi retorted, "Are you implying that Longevity Heaven fears others?"

The master gave him a strange look, replying, "Not fear, it's just whether it's necessary or not."

Zhao Hongzhi concluded his conversation with the master and returned to his own residence. He locked himself in his room, not meeting anyone, just deeply pondering.

At this point, he still didn't regret how he treated Chu Mo back then, but he did regret one thing him his heart: that the boy had such a lucky streak and found such a powerful master.

At the same time, an overwhelmingly strong thought emerged in Zhao Hongzhi's heart: When would this brat's master ascend? (To be continued.
