It was as if the entire world had frozen due to Chu Mo's words.
Everyone's bodies stiffened as if they had been petrified.
The eyes of the big shots on the grandstand were filled with shock as if they had seen a ghost.
The judge's mouth gaped open as his eyes bulged.
Po Su, who was standing opposite Chu Mo, looked as if she had been struck by lightning.
The first sword of the Thirteen Dragonslayer Swords, which was faintly discernible in the void, seemed to have suffered a great change. With a miserable shriek, it disappeared without a trace.
Even Lu Qing, who was secretly watching Xie Tian from the cave abode, trembled due to the drastic change on the arena.
…
The only one who was not affected was Chu Mo.
His expression did not change at all as if what he had just said was nothing out of the ordinary.
Because of this, he didn't take it seriously and turned around, walking down the stage.
This departure finally broke the indescribable stillness of the crowd.
It was time!
Everyone sucked in a breath of cold air!
"F * ck me!"
"My heavens, w-what is this?"
"He hasn't even used a single move, and he's admitting defeat?"
"Oh my God, this, this operation is really, really a million … No! It's a rare sight! "
"T-this is too wretched. I can't take it anymore. Move, move … Blargh!"
…
At least eight big shots stood up from the grandstand.
The Hunyuan Immortal Sect's sect master, Yuan Shang, had a livid expression.
"Preposterous!"
"Does he think this is child's play?"
"Either you don't agree, or no one will say that you're a coward!"
"He agreed, but this is what he did. He's not a son!"
"He's a disgrace to our Hunyuan Immortal Sect! What a disgrace! "
…
However, the ones who reacted the most strongly were not them, but Po Su.
At this moment, Po Su seemed to have suffered an unprecedented blow. Not only was her face pale, but she was also struggling to stand.
Seeing Chu Mo walk away so easily, she resisted the urge to vomit blood and shouted, "Stop!"
Chu Mo stopped and turned around. He asked in confusion, "Fellow Daoist, are you calling me?"
"What do you mean?!" At this moment, Po Si looked a little crazy. "If you don't explain clearly today, only one of us can live!"
Chu Mo was shocked. "Fellow Daoist, is there a need for this? I … You might not believe me if I say it, but you want me to use my actions to prove that I have no intention of humiliating you. Isn't it obvious enough? "
Hearing this, everyone's eyeballs almost fell out of their sockets!
But what made them speechless was that when they followed Chu Mo's words to understand the scene just now, it really wasn't that abrupt at all!
Practical actions?
What else could be more practical than admitting defeat without even daring to attack? You want to prove that you're the f * cking boss and I'm just a weakling?
However …
That was how strange things were.
These words, coupled with Chu Mo's sincere expression, suddenly changed the meaning of the situation. This made everyone understand Chu Mo's feelings at the same time …
He could understand why Po Xi was so enraged and even dared to say that she would decide life and death in front of the Hunyuan Immortal Sect Leader!
"You, you you you …"
As expected, Po Xi was speechless. She could only point at Chu Mo while trembling, and the aura on her body became even crazier.
Seeing that this genius of the Divine Granny Temple was about to lose her mind, Yuan Shang didn't dare to delay any longer and immediately shouted, "Enough! Chu Mo, as a disciple of our sect, you're acting recklessly and doing whatever you want. Quickly apologize to Po Xi! "
"No need!" Po Xi turned around and roared at Yuan Shang, then looked at Chu Mo and gnashed her teeth. "Why?!"
Chu Mo understood what she meant and immediately smiled bitterly. "The reason is very simple. The reason why I admitted defeat is because I can't defeat you."
"Can't defeat me? Hahahaha … "Po Xi was so angry that she laughed." If I hadn't personally witnessed your sparring on the third day, I, Po Xi, wouldn't be willing to say this in detail! "
Chu Mo explained, "Fellow Daoist, please don't misunderstand. The third day wasn't considered a real sparring."
"So what!?"
"It's considered a fortuitous encounter."
As soon as he said this, before Po Xi could react, the faces of the people below the arena darkened.
Mu Zun couldn't sit still because of this, and he immediately stood up with a frown. "Don't talk nonsense. Chu Mo, the Old Man knows your character. Tell me honestly, why did you act in this way? What exactly are your intentions? "
"Reporting … to Grand Elder." Chu Mo glanced at Mu Zun, then cupped his hands and bowed. "Chu Mo's words are not false at all."
"Hmph …" Mu Zun snorted lightly and glanced at Po Xi before he said indifferently, "You admit that you can't defeat Po Xi. At least you have some self-awareness. But your actions are worthy of Brother Tyrant's teachings in the past!"
Chu Mo's expression turned serious, and he said calmly, "Chu Mo has a clear conscience."
"A clear conscience? What a good one!" Po Xi finally collected her thoughts. She walked down the arena and walked up to Chu Mo. "I heard that you're also challenging the Ancient Heavenly Stairway Tower. Very well, the Ancient Heavenly Stairway Tower is about to begin. When the time comes, you and I will definitely meet. Do you dare to fight me?"
Chu Mo said shamefully, "I'm afraid I can't even pass the Ancient Heavenly Stairway Tower …"
"Then what do you want to do before you're willing to fight me!?" Po Xi pressed on.
Chu Mo shrugged and said, "If I can defeat you, I'll naturally fight you."
… …
This was the end of the eighth day's duel.
When the situation of the eighth day's duel was known to everyone in the Southern Heaven Gate …
The elders once again gathered together due to a common reason.
After a long period of silence, Mu Zun took the lead and bowed to the elders with a wry smile.
"What happened today, it's all because of the Old Man's lack of discipline …"
The elders exchanged glances with one another.
"Sigh, you can't say that, Grand Elder Mu …"
"That's right, it all happened too suddenly. If we could've stopped Po Xi's challenge, it wouldn't have happened later."
"This Chu Mo, he's really … really strange. On the third day, he gave off a courageous aura, but today, he's taken a 180-degree turn. Sigh!"
"Let's look on the bright side. At least he's passed this stage safely. Now, there's only one left."
"It's our fault for not being thorough enough. If we could've made the jade talismans for those two earlier, Chu Mo would've been prepared. With his comprehension, he might be able to …"
"Therefore, the most important thing now is to make the jade talismans for that genius. I'm afraid … Elder Liao Qing won't be able to do it alone. We'll need to work together …"
"Also, after this incident, Chu Mo's reputation will be affected. Should we …"
"That's only a small matter. If he can pass the Ancient Heavenly Stairway Tower, his reputation will be gone!"
… …
At the same time …
Inside the Ancient Heavenly Stairway Tower, a similar conversation was taking place.
"Why is that Po Xi so perverted?"
"That's right, boss. She challenged me without even informing me. How can I agree to something like that? What if I lose? Wouldn't it be embarrassing for you, boss? "
"What about my face? That's not important at all …"
"I know, I know. But this Po Xi doesn't play by the rules. I don't even have her jade talisman. Why should I fight her?"
"Hmm … I admire you for being able to say this so confidently and confidently …"
"Stop praising me, boss. Let's think of a way. I don't think this Po Xi will give up!"
"What can I think of? You should look for the Hunyuan Celestial Sect … "
"Why should I look for the one who's far away? Isn't it more convenient to ask for your help? Boss, you don't look like someone who would stand by and watch someone die! At this moment, I can already feel your duty-bound heart pounding! "
"… …"
… …
An hour later, a helpless Xie Tian exited the Ancient Heavenly Stairway Tower and walked towards a certain place.
"This should be the place."
Xie Tian raised his head and looked at the inn named Dragon Pavilion. He thought for a moment, then took out a black cloth and covered his face …
"You dare to challenge the light of the Southern Heaven Gate, Chu Mo? Po Xi, come out and fight me. I … I, Cheng Feng, will teach you a lesson today! "
After shouting, Xie Tian ran away.
Almost as soon as he started running, a shadow soared down from the sky, wantonly releasing a monstrous amount of anger as it chased after him.
At the same time …
"Cheng Feng?"
Murmuring the unfamiliar name, Lu Qing's teeth began to hurt again.
