"Actually, Young Master Chu doesn't need to doubt my sincerity, because two disciples of the Immortal are right beside you now - Miao Yi Niang and Shen Xingxue. They should also be privy to a lot of information." Chu Han continued, "Thus, Young Master Chu can absolutely trust ... I stake my reputation on the truth behind every word I say today!"
Chu Mo gazed at Chu Han, remaining silent for a while before asking: "Back to the sa question, how are you so certain that I can resolve this? Even I don't know that!"
Chu Han also fell quiet for a mont before saying: "The Four Great Sects once had many seniors that successfully ascended to the higher realms. Though it's challenging to keep in contact with them, it's not impossible."
Chu Mo watched Chu Han silently.
"The reason we trust you, Young Master Chu is that we've had revelations," said Chu Han.
"From the higher realms?" Chu Mo glanced at Chu Han.
Chu Han nodded.
"Alright, I understand. You Four Great Sects want to enter Lonely City to unravel its mysteries, especially concerning why Lonely City absorbs the qi movent from our Mortal Realm, making it impossible for anyone to ascend... is that it?" Chu Mo asked.
Chu Han nodded again.
"Fine, I agree to help you!" Chu Mo finally nodded in agreent.
Imdiately, a look of delight appeared on Chu Han's face. "Rest assured, Young Master Chu, the Four Great Sects will forever be your friends!" he said solemnly.
Chu Han left without lingering on Central Divine Island for long. After calling Qin Xiao and his group and giving them certain instructions, he hastily departed.
The bodies of the fifteen disciples of Lonely City who were killed by Chu Mo were also quickly removed.
It seed like the whole issue had suddenly blown over.
But was that really the case?
"What does the head of Lonely City an?" Miao Yi Niang asked Chu Mo.
"I think this is too strange. There's no plausible reason for him to do this," Shen Xingxue remarked.
"To , it seems like they would stop at nothing to send Young Master Chu into Lonely City," Huang Hui comnted.
The Big Rooster, still enjoying from his injury, listlessly said, "Isn't that simple? They must have gained so information that brought about this sudden change in attitude. I think... it has sothing to do with the incident not too long ago."
"What incident?" Miao Yi Niang brows furrowed.
The Big Rooster explained, "Our encounter."
Miao Yi Niang and others instantly fell silent, understanding the weight of that incident for Chu Mo.
But Chu Mo wasn't as fragile as they thought. There was no need to tiptoe around the matter.
"You an, the person who killed my grandfather and the others... is linked to the Four Great Sects?" Chu Mo asked.
"It may not just be the Four Great Sects," Rooster analyzed. "Consider this: for the sake of Rooster, you killed fifteen people from Lonely City, including a senior of theirs! Such enmity... certainly counts as deep hatred, right? However, the head of Lonely City suddenly appeared and told you... to not dwell on this accident. Doesn't that strike you as abnormal, Chu Mo? Would anyone in that position be able to utter such words? As soon as they did, how could they resu their position as head? If they can't even protect their disciples... what sort of leader are they?"
"What you said is exactly what's puzzling ," Chu Mo said softly. "There's no good reason for him to do this."
Shen Xingxue added, "What he said about Lonely City should be true; I've heard bits and pieces from my aunt. However, whether this issue has as much to do with you, Chu Mo, I can't be sure."
Miao Yi Niang pondered, "My master did say that in recent years, Lonely City has indeed been absorbing the qi movent of this world, making it impossible for geniuses in the Mortal Realm to ascend during their cultivation because they lack the critical qi movent. So, when Master Chu ascended, it did shock the Four Great Sects. But to say that it's because of this that they are paying so much attention to Chu Mo, believing that only he can unravel Lonely City's secrets... I think that's an exaggeration."
By the end of the discussion, all of them seed to agree that the head of Lonely City had ulterior motives.
They couldn't guess what he was after right now, however.
"Nevermind, we'll cross that bridge when we co to it." Chu Mo also couldn't make sense of it, so he decided not to think about it.
...
Qin Xiao was staring blankly at the bone-sized, brilliant red object in his hand. This object had been bestowed to him by his sect leader.
"You rember that eye in the sky so ti ago, don't you?"
"Of course, I rember. But master, have you really decided to just let Chu Mo off the hook?" Qin Xiao was angry and a little disappointed in his master.
"Stop sidetracking! Listen to what I have to say!"
"Yes..."
"That eye, it was a representation of this world's will, a Heavenly Tribulation! Nothing can escape such a Tribulation. But that being... he escaped the Heavenly Tribulation! And moreover, he bestowed a great opportunity upon Lonely City!" Chu Han looked excitedly at Qin Xiao. "This object, if you consu it, can imdiately grant you imnse strength, reaching the peak of the Innate realm. At the sa ti, it will enhance your body and bloodline, storing vast amounts of energy in your body. This will make crossing the Heavenly Tribulation seem effortless!"
"What... what is this?" Qin Xiao was shocked then, and even now he struggled to recover from his astonishnt.
"This is the reward that being granted us!"
"Reward?"
"Yes, as long as you do this and this and this in Lonely City... and then thoroughly imbue Chu Mo! By then, all the dangers in Lonely City will be resolved instantly! The factors affecting our ascension... will also disappear completely! All the opportunities within Lonely City are there for you to find! Furthermore... I've successfully fooled Chu Mo. He'll definitely go to Lonely City by then!"
"Master... how can you be so sure about what that person said? What if he's deceiving you?" Qin Xiao inadvertently threw cold water on his wildly excited master.
"Deceive ? Hahaha... What do you think this is?" Chu Han showed Qin Xiao sothing then that imdiately convinced him.
"Rember, Gu Yu, once this matter is settled, we have far more to benefit from it than just becoming rich! One day, when we ascend to the Spirit Realm, we'll be directly under the thumb of that big shot! He will guarantee our safe passage into the Immortal Realm, perhaps even the Heavenly Realm!" Chu Han's face contorted with excitent, "Chu Mo... is the key to our ascent to the heavens! You must use him well!"
Recalling the fanaticism in the leader's eyes and thinking about what his leader showed him, Qin Xiao's heart... finally started to warm up as well.
He knew his master hadn't deceived him. If all goes well this ti, the rewards he, Qin Xiao, Qin Gu Yu... would reap are unimaginable!
As for the matter of Chu Mo killing fifteen disciples of Lonely City, it now seed to be trivial.
With these thoughts in mind, Qin Xiao resolutely threw the thing in his hand into his mouth.(To be continued. If you liked this work, welco to vote a recomndation or monthly ticket on qidian. Your support is my greatest motivating force. Mobile users can read via m.qidian.)
