"After joining the sect, it didn't take long to beco an inner disciple. The man who crossed was just a servant, an outer disciple, who was far beneath in status. How could he dare to ss with ? Nevertheless, I didn't let him off, just because he glared at once. That look felt like a huge humiliation! I hated him, and I still do! Even after I killed him last year, I still wasn't satisfied. It couldn't end like this. So I went to his lover's place and took the woman, who was pregnant with his child... She begged to spare her, saying she'd do whatever I wanted," Chen Jiu said with a proud grin, almost forgetting his current situation.
He continued, "After I had my fun, I thought 'why should I let the child of my enemy live?' and I took out my sword... and stabbed it into her belly! The look of despair and hatred on her face at that ti... Hah!"
At this point, Chen Jiu seed to realize that he was getting carried away and rembered his predicant. He looked at Chu Mo warily and asked, "Who... Who are you? Why did you capture ? We don't... We don't have any grudges, right?"
Chu Mo looked at Chen Jiu and said, "Do you think the Lingyue Sect would light a soul lantern for an inner disciple like you? You think soul lanterns don't need energy?"
Chen Jiu suddenly stiffened, as a sense of foreboding arose. Looking at Chu Mo, he broke into tears, "Don't kill ... Please don't kill . What I said earlier, it's all made up... it's all lies!"
Chu Mo glanced at him indifferently, "Just because soone glared at you a decade ago, you took vengeance, took his life, killed his woman and unborn child. Just monts ago I choked your throat and threatened you… wouldn't my grudge be bigger?"
"No, it's not the sa! It's really not the sa! If you let go, I can give you anything you want. I have so wealth in the Lingyue Sect…", Chen Jiu's urge to plead was cut short as he suddenly fell silent. A bloody hole had appeared between his brows.
"One more word from you would make sick." Chu Mo withdrew his hand, then flicked his finger, sending a spark of fire straight to Chen Jiu's body, burning the sinful disciple of the Lingyue Sect to ashes.
After Chu Mo walked out from there, he looked up at the brillant blue sky, feeling the rich spirit energy surrounding him.
As the most significant sect here, the location of the Lingyue Sect is not only peaceful and serene, but the spirit energy is also much thicker than other places.
Chu Mo muttered to himself, "How could such a beautiful place give birth to such scum? Or is it… sothing inherent?"
Even though he now considered Feng Jianghai and the entire Lingyue Sect as his mortal enemy, in his deepest heart, Chu Mo's hatred for Feng Jianghai was nothing compared to the hatred he felt for the man he just impersonated.
Feng Jianghai at least had a reason to try to kill him: for breaking through, for better resources, for cultivation techniques... Even though his actions were despicable, they were more tolerable than bearing a grudge for being glared at, and destroying soone's life over it, right?
At that mont, Chu Mo sensed a robust aura approaching from the distant horizon. Feng Jianghai! He had finally pursued him here!
Chu Mo rolled his eyes, then calmly turned around and walked in the direction of the Lingyue Sect.
For soone like Chen Jiu, a veritable piece of garbage, there wouldn't be many friends in Lingyue Sect. In many disciples' eyes, Chen Jiu was a sowhat odd loner.
He has few friends, he's greedy and holds grudges. Very few people interacted with him.
Which made Chu Mo very happy.
Following the earlier instructions from Chen Jiu, it didn't take long for Chu Mo to find his dwelling.
The distance of more than a thousand miles was nothing to a practitioner of Foundation Establishnt. However, by the ti Chu Mo arrived at Chen Jiu back at his dwelling, Feng Jianghai had already flown over the entire Lingyue Sect.
At that mont, more than a dozen figures flew out of the Lingyue Sect. The powerful aura they emitted surprised Chu Mo.
The Lingyue Sect had managed to maintain its superiority among all the other sects for thousands of years, growing into a powerhouse with hundreds of thousands of disciples. No wonder they had a solid foundation!
All of those people were high-level practitioners at or above the mid-stage of the Primordial Infant realm!
Chu Mo was secretly calculating in his heart, wondering whether he could escape if surrounded by a dozen of these mid-stage Primordial Infants.
After so careful consideration, he ca to a conclusion: Even if he managed to escape, it would likely cost him half of his life!
Unless by now he had already cultivated the second life of the Nine Lives Technique...
But even if it's a fake life, wasting two lives on a sect like the Lingyue Sect didn't seem worth it.
Chu Mo cast aside his previous fake life without any hesitation. If he hadn't done so, not only would he have been unable to escape from Feng Jianghai's pursuit, but Fang Lan and the others... would likely be in danger as well!
But after his attack and drawing so much attention from the Lingyue Sect, those people... wouldn't dare to kill Fang Lan and the others until they confird his death.
"The most likely scenario is that Fang Lan has been brought back to the Lingyue Sect," Chu Mo thought as he sat in Chen Jiu's room. "I must seize this opportunity to rescue Fang Lan unnoticed and let my presence wreak havoc on the Lingyue Sect... They should live their days in anxiety."
"I'm going to make them search in vain, then stir up so trouble now and then. When the heat dies down, I'll retreat and cultivate!"
"Feng Jianghai... You old scoundrel, wait for . When I reach the peak of the Golden Core, ready to face the Heavenly Tribulation... I'll repay the favor!"
Phew!
Chu Mo let out a sigh.
At that mont, the sound of a bell suddenly rang from outside.
Dong!
Dong!
Dong!
It sounded eighteen tis.
The sound woke almost all of the Lingyue Sect.
Chu Mo sensed that sothing was about to happen, and he walked out of the cavern.
At that mont, another person also ca out from their cavern. He was startled to see Chu Mo, then imdiately turned his head away with a look of disgust on his face.
Chu Mo's lips twitched. 'Chen Jiu really isn't loved in the Lingyue Sect,' he thought.
At this ti, he overheard so whisperings among the disciples.
"Why did they suddenly ring the warning bell? There were eighteen chis... My God, it's only rung five tis since the sect was founded thousands of years ago!"
"Yes, this is the sixth ti. Sothing terrible must've happened."
"The previous five tis the bell rang, the Lingyue Sect was in grave danger. But now... everything is calm, where's the danger?"
"Didn't the Sect Leader leave with several high-ranking officials before? Now only the Sect Leader has returned..."
"What are you suggesting? Don't scare !"
"Shh... We'll know soon enough, don't speculate."
