In front of him was a person with a murderous aura that Chu Mo had never seen before.
He was surrounded by the Hunyuan Immortal Sect's encampment. It was the only part of the road leading to the Ancient Heavenly Stairway without any passersby.
The timing was even better.
It happened to be when he was exhausted after failing to pass through the checkpoint.
Chu Mo thought about it and felt that this situation was very perfect. It was so perfect that he felt that he would die today at the hands of an existence that looked like a quasi-emperor.
But it seemed that his expression was still calm. He calmly looked at the black-robed man who wouldn't reveal any information to him.
He didn't speak.
It wasn't that he wasn't interested in who wanted to kill him.
It was that he understood from the other party's words that it was impossible for him to know who wanted to kill him.
But no matter who wanted to kill him, what Chu Mo wanted the most was that he didn't die.
So...
When he sensed that this dark alley was about to produce a fluctuation that made his hair stand on end...
He felt as if a string in his body had snapped …
Then, he reached into his clothes.
In the end, he saw that the moment he stretched out his hand, the black-robed man in front of him turned into a dark night.
Night was very calm and very steady, as if he had long known that he would reach into his clothes when facing a killing situation.
What made him even more certain was that...
The fingertips of his right hand that reached into his clothes were just about to touch his chest...
His mind was no longer there.
Instead, it was that piece of night.
His reason prevented his hand from reaching into the night.
But Night didn't want to let go of this hand. He didn't even want to let go of the owner of this hand. An unparalleled suction force brewed in front of his chest.
The moment the suction force appeared, Chu Mo's entire body distorted violently.
It seemed that his Dao Body, Dao Pool, and divine soul had all turned into filaments in an instant...
Why were they filaments?
"Maybe it's Night's favorite food..."
At the same time Chu Mo had this thought...
The string that had snapped silently in front of his chest finally made the sound it should have.
This sound was huge.
It exploded so much that half of the Southern Heavenly Gate shook twice.
This sound was very strong.
It exploded so much that the curtain of night cracked. Several rays of light passed through and landed on Chu Mo's body that had turned into a filament.
This sound was very domineering.
At the same time that the rays of light forcibly pulled back Chu Mo who had turned into a filament...
"You dare to bully my Tyranny's disciple! I swear to erase all traces of your existence in the Nine Heavens Universe! "
Clang clang.
The gigantic, powerful, and domineering chord note seemed to have stiffened in fright, shattering into pieces on the ground amidst the crisp sound.
Chu Mo, who had returned to normal, only saw a piece of black cloth twisting weirdly and drilling into a small hole in the void that he couldn't see at all. It disappeared completely, even giving him the illusion that it was an illusion.
But this was not an illusion.
"My Natal Immortal Thread is really broken …"
After sensing the state of the string in his body, Chu Mo felt a strong sense of fear and relief.
He really should be thankful.
This was because if he had made a mistake in his prediction of the situation, if he had only chosen to reach into his bosom and take out the life-saving treasure his master had given him when facing the person who wanted to kill him, he would have already died.
"To think that he could even predict this, and even set up a trap …"
Chu Mo stood there in Silence, adjusting his emotions as he pondered.
He did not leave.
At this time, there was no place safer than where he was.
As expected …
Two breaths later, a series of whooshes could be heard.
"Who dares to act recklessly in the South-Heaven Gate, aren't they … Mm?"
"Is, is that the Chaos Immortal Sect's … Childe Chu Mo?"
"Childe Chu Mo, what happened?"
"Childe Chu Mo, even though you have an extraordinary identity, the South-Heaven Gate has its rules …"
"Rules my ass, piss off!"
"Are you all blind!? Our sect's prodigy, Chu Mo, was just assassinated! "
"Don't you dare mention the South-Heaven Gate's rules to me.
The Chaos Immortal Sect's rules are the most important right now! "
"Someone, inform the base at once. We must find the bastard that dares to mess with the Chaos Immortal Sect!"
"Junior Nephew Chu Mo, don't panic, with us here, no one will dare to hurt you!"
"Come, escort Junior Nephew back to the base! If you see anyone suspicious along the way, kill without mercy! "
…
The South-Heaven Gate was huge.
However, no matter how huge it was …
In just half an hour, the news of Chu Mo, the genius of the Chaos Immortal Sect who had performed brilliantly in the Ancient Heavenly Stairway, being assassinated had spread across the South-Heaven Gate.
At that moment, the South-Heaven Gate was in a state of panic.
Almost every street and every market had elites of the Chaos Immortal Sect searching for traces of the assassins.
Meanwhile, in the Chaos Immortal Sect's base …
The calm Chu Mo was surrounded by the three elders of the station.
The hall they were in was surrounded by layers of experts of the South-Heaven Gate's Chaos Immortal Sect's base.
In the eyes of the people of the Chaos Immortal Sect, it was reasonable.
Chu Mo had earned a lot of face for the Chaos Immortal Sect recently …
Just the fact that Elder Ba was backing Chu Mo was enough to make everyone tremble in fear.
"That voice …"
"Don't ask, it's definitely him!"
"Oh, oh my god, is that really Elder Ba's voice?"
"Junior Brother, you're still young. I didn't want to tell you something so terrifying, but unfortunately, I've heard Elder Ba's voice before. Therefore, I can tell you that it's him!"
"Will, will Elder Ba come to our place?"
"Well …"
"That's Young Master Chu Mo. Any master would do their best to protect him if they have a disciple like him …"
"I don't think so …"
"How can you be so sure about something like that? Do you really think anyone can do what Young Master Chu Mo did? "
"I'm not saying that because of that, but …"
"But what?"
"It seems like the three elders don't want to disturb Elder Ba …"
…
When the people outside the hall subconsciously looked toward the hall …
The conversation in the hall came to an end.
The three elders' faces were filled with worry and comfort.
It was from the bottom of their hearts.
Apart from the bias in the sect, the three elders clearly knew how important Chu Mo was to the Hunyuan Immortal Sect.
In addition to that, Chu Mo was not as arrogant as the rumors said. He was calm and easygoing, thus they were quite fond of him. Therefore, they were truly worried about him.
However, regardless of how worried they were …
As soon as they thought about how Elder Ba would react after learning about the incident, they felt like hunting down the culprit was secondary. Their priority now was to make sure that Elder Ba, who had nothing better to do, would not suddenly show up at the South-Heaven Gate's location and stir up a storm of blood.
Therefore, in their conversation just now, they expressed this to Chu Mo in an extremely subtle and reserved manner.
They would not force Chu Mo to do anything. All they could do now was wait for Chu Mo's reply.
Chu Mo fell silent for a long time.
Of course he wanted to live.
He wanted to know who was trying to kill him too.
He wanted to spend the next few days in peace in the Ancient Stairway Tower.
Even if his master, Elder Ba, could not achieve the second goal, he could at least achieve the other goal.
His rationality told him that the most beneficial thing for him was to tell his master about the incident and wait for his master to come and protect him.
However, another voice in his heart dispelled his urge.
In the end …
"Martial Uncles, I'm afraid that you're worrying about me." Chu Mo smiled, "Besides, I feel that what happened at the South-Heaven Gate is just a small matter. There's no need to inform Master."
The three elders let out relieved sighs.
"HAHA, Master, you're being too humble. Not everything is a small matter. At least, what you did at the Ancient Stairway Tower was something that shocked the entire sect!"
"That's right, but I believe Martial Nephew has already told Elder Ba, we …"
"I didn't tell Master," said Chu Mo with a blank face.
The three elders exchanged glances with one another, "Then … Martial Nephew, why didn't you tell your master?"
Chu Mo smiled and did not reply.
However, the scene of the Burial Monument Cliff collapsing appeared in his mind.
