Then, Chu Mo hung the heads of the four Ji clan ancestors on the flagpole.
The four ancient ancestors of the Ji clan were quite straightforward. They grinned at Dongfang Yunluo and the others. "Fellow Daoists, we've done our best!"
Only they dared to say this. After sealing their cultivation to the peak Progenitor realm, the battle with Chu Mo had dealt a terrifying blow to Chu Mo. They had almost succeeded. Although they had failed at the last moment, they had no regrets in their hearts.
However, when these people saw that the flagpoles were still empty, they were quite surprised. This was because there were no other heads in Chu Mo's storage space. There were only fourteen of them.
But there were still many empty flagpoles!
Chu Mo said faintly, "The Ancient Yang Clan, Ancient Yun Clan, Ancient Chu Clan, and Ancient Hong Clan's fifteen primordial ancestors have already transformed into Dao. Apart from that, there were also two Ancient Ancestors of the Ancient Ye Clan. They were the two who had participated in the annihilation of the Chu Royal Clan, and they had also chosen to transform into Dao. They are all dead. They are spared from your torture. "
"Holy shit … they're the smart ones!" Ever since he had fallen to the Progenitor realm and lost all hope in the outside world, Dongfang Yunluo's speech and behavior had undergone unimaginable changes. In the past, such words would never have come out of his mouth.
But he was speaking from the bottom of his heart. He was extremely envious of those who had voluntarily dissolved into Dao.
Although Chu Mo was no longer torturing them, and their primordial spirit power was about to be completely exhausted, who could understand the feeling of having their heads hung on the flagpole? But to have their heads hung on a flagpole and be exposed to the wind and rain all year round, although it didn't hurt them much, who could understand that feeling?
Finding joy in suffering? That was complete despair and giving up, alright?
If they had the courage to voluntarily dissolve into Dao before, why would they have to endure all this suffering?
"That's not right." Dongfang Hengtai said. "Doesn't the Ye clan have four Ancient Ancestors?"
"Those two are truly repentant and have already become members of the Elite Alliance. I will definitely let them off the hook and not chase after them, "Chu Mo said indifferently.
"Is that even possible?" Dongfang Hengtai's mouth twitched as he was speechless.
Even the others, including the six Ancient Ancestors of the Ancient God clan, were envious.
If such a thing were to spread out, it would definitely shock everyone and make them speechless. It was to the extent where one would even suspect if these people were really that group of lofty top level existences that ruled over the Boundless Era.
Without the protection of the halo, it turned out … it turned out that he was no different from an ordinary person.
Of course, not many people were able to see this scene.
That area was also the most mysterious forbidden area in the entire Chu Royal Clan's ruins.
Even the cultivators that joined the Chu Royal Clan were not allowed to come here as they pleased.
An Ancient Ancestor from the Ancient God clan finally opened his eyes and looked at Chu Mo. "You said those people … really chose to commit suicide?"
The four Ancient Ancestors of the Ji clan also looked at Chu Mo.
Chu Mo nodded. "Yes. They also gave us all the resources, wealth, and the clan leader's medallion to submit to the Chu Royal Clan once more." Chu Mo didn't say that they would submit to him, because he didn't need to!
He wasn't the only one in the Chu Royal Clan. He believed that following the collapse of the 13 Ancient Clans, more and more descendants with the royal bloodline would return.
These were gifts for them.
"What about the other Ancient Clans?" Dongfang Yunluo looked at Chu Mo. "The Ancient Yue clan, the Ancient Cao clan, the Luo Shui clan, and the Glacial clan … haven't you done anything to them? Why didn't you take care of them as well? "
Everyone else looked at Dongfang Yunluo speechlessly. There was no need for you to make your gloating so obvious, was there?
However, as the most senior person here, Dongfang Yunluo didn't care about these gazes. In fact, he even looked at these new 'companions' with some sympathy. In his heart, he thought to himself, This is the kind of pain that only we can inflict on others in the past. In a few years, you'll all be like me.
Didn't you see the four Ancient Zhao clan ancestors? Weren't they like you when they first arrived?
As an "elder," Dongfang Yunluo felt a faint sense of pride as he looked at these "newbies."
Then, he couldn't help but scold himself. Ever since my cultivation level dropped, so did my brain … what was there to be proud of?
Chu Mo didn't hide anything. "The four Ancient Yue clan ancestors are all dead. They sealed their cultivation levels to fight me. At the last moment, all four of them broke through their seals and tried to kill me. "
"Ah? Then why are you still alive? "
"You didn't die?"
"My god … what a pity!"
"You didn't die even after that?"
"Then how did they die?"
Everyone started talking at once. Most of them expressed that it was a pity and unbelievable.
Even Dongfang Yunluo wore a look of regret. They could remain calm and collected, but that didn't mean they didn't hate Chu Mo. Even Mane Shen hated Chu Mo to the core!
"Hehehehe." Chu Mo sneered expressionlessly. He was too lazy to respond to this boring question. This group of people was so smart. Sooner or later, they would figure out the real reason.
"That means only the Ancient Cao Clan, Glacial Ice Clan, and Luo Shui Clan are left? Hahaha, who would've thought that the thirteen ancient clans of the Immeasurable Era would be annihilated just like that? What a cycle of fate. "Dongfang Hengtai sighed.
"No, it's the will of the heavens," Dongfang Yunluo said coolly.
On the other side, Xu Tianxiao murmured, "We've always thought that we've grasped the Mandate of Heaven, grasped the Great Dao, and grasped all the truths of this world. But now, we finally understand that … we're the biggest joke in this world. We've only lived a little longer than others, and we've seen a little more from the Heavenly Dao. We've thought that we're gods, that we … can control everything. We're all a bunch of pitiful worms! "
"Shut up!" Ancient Ancestor Bailing's hatred for Xu Tianxiao was still as intense as ever. She didn't seem to be listening to anything the latter said.
In fact, she'd completely broken down!
In the past, she had never thought that one day, she would be reduced to such a state.
She'd thought that Sovereign Xuan, Dao Lord Xing Chen, and Gongsun Cai would join her in cursing Xu Tianxiao for being a bastard. However, to his surprise, those people all had silent expressions on their faces. Some of them even had thoughtful expressions on their faces.
Ancient Ancestor Bailing looked at Chu Mo with tears in her eyes. "Young Master Chu, I really know my wrongs. I'm willing to give up all my resources and wealth … I, I might not be as rich as those ancient clans, but I've accumulated a considerable amount of wealth over the years. Please, please let me go. I really … know my wrongs. "
With that, Ancient Ancestor Bailing, a female cultivator at the Grand Supreme realm, actually began to cry.
The other primordial ancestors all had complicated expressions. If they could, they wanted to cry and beg too. Of course, that was if crying and begging worked.
They knew better than anyone else what they'd done in the past. If they were in Chu Mo's shoes, even the families behind them might be buried with them!
Therefore, they couldn't say that.
However, Xu Tianxiao, Gongsun Cai, Dao Lord Xing Chen, and Ancient Ancestor Xuan Zun felt more complicated.
That was because they hadn't participated in the tragedy against the Chu royal family a million years ago. It was just that they couldn't resist the temptation this time and fell into the trap, ending up in this state. Speaking of which, they were already miserable enough. This was especially so for Xu Tianxiao, whose Essence Spirit was only at the Progenitor realm. They were willing to pay any price if they could get Chu Mo to let them go.
However, would Chu Mo be soft-hearted?
Ancient Ancestor Bailing continued to beg, "I … I might have lived for a long time, but I'm still a virgin. If Young Master Chu doesn't mind, I'm willing to be a maidservant by your side and warm your bed …"
Damn it, that was too shameless!
That was the common thought of all the cultivators present. They also wanted to beg Chu Mo to let them go, but they couldn't bring themselves to say something like that.
That was simply … simply throwing away their last shred of dignity!
Beg for their lives? What was the point of living like that?
"Is it interesting?" Dao Lord Xing Chen looked at Ancient Ancestor Bailing and asked hoarsely.
"What do you mean by interesting? I-I was tricked into coming here in the first place! I've never harmed a single member of the Chu royal family! I … I didn't gain any advantage in front of Young Master Chu, "Ancient Ancestor Bailing sobbed," Why do I have to suffer such punishment? Boohoo … I've already suffered enough punishment. I already know that I was wrong. Why can't you give me a chance to turn over a new leaf? "
"…" Everyone was completely speechless.
At that moment, Chu Mo raised his head and looked at Ancient Ancestor Bailing, saying indifferently, "If those two existences didn't attack you back then, and I … begged you like this, would you have been soft-hearted? Would you have let me go? There's no enmity between us. In fact, I've never even heard of your names before I met you. In my previous life, I might have heard of you, but I didn't have any interactions with you. Would you have let me go? "
Chu Mo's words made Ancestor Bailing speechless, and he stood there in a daze. She really wanted to say, 'Yes, yes, as long as you beg me, I'll definitely let you go!'
But in reality, when she recalled the scene that day and their expressions and emotions when they trapped Chu Mo, she really couldn't say those words. Because those words were too against her will!
They definitely wouldn't let Chu Mo go!
Because as long as they cut off Chu Mo's head, the three of them would obtain unimaginable fame and status … Of course, they didn't care about those things. But that kind of top-notch cultivation resources, they also wanted!
Chu Mo's expression was cold. "That's why I said that there are no ifs in this world. At least in our realm, there are no ifs. If there were, I believe there wouldn't be so many heads hanging here. "
