The spectators who rushed from all directions stared in astonishment, their expressions complex beyond description. They gazed at Chu Mo as if they had been turned to stone.

This was indeed an excruciatingly long day. That was the general consensus among everyone present.

So much had happened in such a short period of time that even the strongest individuals at the peak of this world found it hard to digest everything that had transpired.

"Chu Mo, you must give us an explanation today!" Qin Xiao's face turned completely dark, "Otherwise, there shall be no peace between Lonely City and you!"

Chu Mo glanced at Qin Xiao, "No peace until death?"

"Yes!"

"Really?"

"Absolutely!"

"Alright then." Chu Mo stood there, tall and insurmountable, his aura of innate superiority no longer concealed but wholly unleashed. Finally, the bystanders could sense Chu Mo's true power.

Expressions of shock, awe, and disbelief were etched on everyone's faces. They were surpassed; this young man was an innate powerhouse!

It then dawned on them that this once enigmatic youth had grown into a figure they could only look up to.

They had always thought themselves superior, yet they were so mistaken. They now realized how ridiculous and powerless their sense of superiority was.

"Come on then. Since you've already sworn to 'no peace until death,' why hesitate? Let's begin." Chu Mo coldly stared at Qin Xiao, "My master showed mercy and did not slay you with a single slap in the past. But today, I won't be so lenient."

Eventually, Zhao Qing, leader of the Western Sea faction, arrived. He looked at Chu Mo with a bitter smile. "Young Master Chu, let's talk this over. No need for violence..."

Chu Mo glanced at Zhao Qing, "Leader Zhao, I'm not the one looking for a fight, he is the one who wants no peace with me!"

Zhao Qing's cheek twitched as he looked at the corpses on the ground, thinking to himself, "Of course they want no peace with you after you killed fifteen of their people from top to bottom! It would be strange if they didn't!"

He, however, understood the cause and effects of the incident during his journey here. Chu Mo was not to be blamed, at most he could only be accused of being excessively ruthless, leaving no room for the members of Lonely City.

"Elder Gu Yu... What do you think about this matter?" Zhao Qing wore a bitter expression. He understood that this incident was beyond his power to meddle. No matter what, he couldn't simply ignore what was happening. All he could do was curse inwardly.

Qin Xiao's eyes bore into Chu Mo, his heart filled with anger. The young man in front of him was infuriatingly domineering!

Was he truly this powerful? Or was it all just a façade of strength?

Looking at the fifteen bodies, Qin Xiao did not dare to believe that Chu Mo's display of power was purely a show. It's clear that Chu Mo is genuinely fearless.

Regarding the whereabouts of the fifteen men, Qin Xiao was well aware. They had gone to Central Divine Island.

It was said that there was a celestial object on Central Divine Island. This rumor had been circulating for many years, but no one had been able to locate it. However, during every sect assembly, some top-tier factions would still try their luck.

The three major sects on Central Divine Island, West Sea, Great Wilderness and Green Mountain, all turned a blind eye to this. They had been there for countless years without gaining anything; if outsiders could find it then it was simply a matter of their fate.

This year was different. The Four Great Sects were participating in the sect-wide assembly for the first time. Their capabilities naturally surpassed those of the West Sea faction, revealing a clue.

Unfortunately, Big Rooster had searched for countless years and had more clues than they did. By all expectations, this chance encounter should belong to Big Rooster.

But how could the members of Lonely City willingly accept this? They set a trap and almost killed Big Rooster. However, Big Rooster not only moved fast but also had some unexpected life-saving measures. He had managed to escape from Lonely City's trap.

The situation was now considerably tense and even Qin Xiao was left with a headache.

At this moment, a faint voice resounded from the distant sea. The voice was barely audible, but everyone present heard it loud and clear.

"Green grass lush and white fog diffuse, there stands a solitary citadel, amidst the water's embrace..." The voice was soft and seemed to carry a mournful sigh.

The faces of all the people present changed.

On Qin Xiao's face, shock quickly turned to joy, followed by guilt as he lowered his head. Before departing from Lonely City, although not as arrogant as before, he still felt incredibly proud. He had left Lonely City with great confidence, crossing the central sea and arriving on Central Divine Island.

Aside from the three other major sects, there was hardly anyone in the world that Qin Xiao looked upon with respect.

Who would have thought that the disciple of the man who had humiliated him years ago... a common-born young man... would once again... deliver him a harsh slap!

Although the slap did not land on his face, it was even more unbearable.

Now that the leader had to personally handle the situation, how could the proud Qin Xiao feel comfortable? Even though no one openly blamed him, the grave losses suffered by Lonely City were clear indicators of his incompetence as the leading elder.

A figure appeared in the distance, drifting closer. The man wore a gray robe with a yin and yang pattern embroidered on the back. His hair was perfect with a jade hairpin. His eyebrows were long, his hair white, and his face handsome. If it weren't for his white hair, he would look much younger. However, his eyes were filled with the wisdom of age, as if he had seen through all the vanity of the world.

"Master." Qin Xiao and the others from Lonely City promptly stepped forward to show their respect.

Zhao Qing, the head of the West Sea Sect, and others also hurriedly came to pay their respects.

Any disciple of the Four Great Sects could converse on equal terms with them. Had it not been for Chu Mo's astounding presence restraining everyone, the members of the Four Great Sects might have been overly arrogant.

Nevertheless, the Master of Lonely City... His identity and status absolutely demanded respect from people of Zhao Qing's standing.

The Master of Lonely City also had the last name Chu, Chu Han.

"Proceed." Chu Han casually glanced at the people before him. Then his gaze fell upon the fifteen corpses on the ground, "How did they... die?"

Chu Han's voice was indifferent, extremely indifferent, even somewhat detached, as if he was devoid of any emotions.

However, Qin Xiao and the others suddenly looked relieved!

They knew their Master was angry.

"I killed them." Chu Mo looked at the man in front of him, "Are you the Master of Lonely City?"

Chu Han calmly looked at Chu Mo. He did not deny it but neither did he nod. The look in his eyes was akin to looking at a mere ant.

Seeing that Chu Han gave no response, Chu Mo cursed, "Since these trash came from your sect, I suppose the Leader isn't any good either. Do you dare to fight me? If you lose, you will take your people from Lonely City and leave Central Divine Island immediately."
