Thud!
The masked man's head fell to the ground with a frightening thud. The mask was still on his face. His head rolled a few times and rolled into a corner.
Thump.
The headless corpse fell to the ground, blood still flowing out of the neck.
The room was instantly filled with the smell of blood.
This scene made everyone in the room stunned on the spot.
This was especially true for Wu Yiju and Meng Yilan. Never in their wildest dreams had they imagined that Chu Mo would be this powerful.
Xiao Yiyue and the others did not recognize the masked man, but Wu Yiju and Meng Yilan knew him. Not only did they know him, but they were also very familiar with him!
"You … You actually killed, killed Elder Lu … You actually killed Elder Lu … You, you don't want to live …" Meng Yilan seemed to have been scared out of her wits. She stammered as her body trembled.
This Elder Lu had always liked Meng Yilan, but both Meng Yilan and Wu Yiju were the Sect Master's women. Thus, Elder Lu could only bury his feelings for them. However, Meng Yilan knew about it.
Thus, Meng Yilan could not help but tear up as she looked at Elder Lu's head and body.
Wu Yiju's eyes flickered with fear, but more than that, madness. She looked at Chu Mo with clenched teeth and said, "You evil man … what did you do to my child?"
Chu Mo did not look at Wu Yiju. Instead, he said to Xiao Yiyue, "I'm sorry, I've been too busy recently and neglected you. But … everything will be fine soon. Once I'm done here, I'll focus on developing the Ethereal Palace. Of course, if you really think that I'm incompetent as the Palace Master, I can hand over the position to someone you approve of. "
"Speak … what did you do to my child?" Wu Yiju's eyes were filled with hatred. The fear in her eyes had almost disappeared, leaving only unforgettable hatred.
Seeing Wu Yiju's swollen cheeks, Chu Mo said, "You followed the Heavenly Sword Sect's sect master and became his woman. This was originally your freedom. No one had the right to interfere."
Xiao Yiyue, Guo Yixiao, Zhao Xiaoxiao, and the other six women all stared at Wu Yiju in shock. Their eyes were filled with disbelief.
Xiao Yiyue couldn't help but ask, "Junior Sister Yiju, you … really?"
Wu Yiju's eyes flickered with hatred. She raised her head and looked at Xiao Yiyue, "So what if I am?"
Xiao Yiyue's eyes instantly reddened. Then, she turned around and slowly knelt before Chu Mo. "Palace Lord …"
"What is the meaning of this?" Chu Mo looked at Xiao Yiyue.
"Palace Master is not incompetent in any way. It is we who are not good enough," Xiao Yiyue said softly. "We have never thought that Palace Master is not good enough."
"Xiao YiYue … You're still speaking up for him? What has he done for us? "Wu Yiju said venomously.
Xiao Yiyue glanced at Wu Yiju before turning to Chu Mo. Her eyes were filled with determination. "I'm sorry, Palace Master. Junior Sister Yiju might have suffered too much in her early years. I beg Palace Master to let her go."
"Hmph, do I need him to let me go? In a while … someone will come and save me! "Wu Yiju gritted her teeth. Coldly, she said," All of you, wake up! If you look carefully, Chu Mo is just a lucky kid in the secular world who obtained the inheritance of an almighty senior and was accepted as a disciple. From start to finish, it was his master who helped him! Now, his master is gone! Even if he can kill an expert at the Clear Mind Realm with one slash, so what? The true experts in the Heavenly Sword Sect are almighties who have comprehended the Clear Mind Realm! "
"Junior Sister Yiju … You still haven't woken up?" Xiao Yiyue looked at Wu Yiju with disappointment.
"Woken up? I've woken up long ago! If I didn't, I would have turned into ashes long ago! " At this moment, Wu Yiju slowly stood up. She looked at Meng Yilan, who was silent and trembling. Coldly, she said, "Now that things have come to this, is there any use in being afraid? Do you think they will accept you again? "
"I … I never thought of this …" Meng Yilan choked with sobs. "I just want to live …"
Guo Yixiao, Zhao Xiaoxiao, and the other girls' eyes flashed with sadness. They thought of the days when they were transported out of the Ethereal Palace. They had no friends and no hope.
What about reviving the Ethereal Palace? What about becoming a peerless expert? What about being a proud daughter of the heavens? At that time, there was only one thought left in their minds: to live!
Therefore, they understood Meng Yilan's words very well.
Wu Yiju looked at Chu Mo and said Coldly, "If you know what's good for you, hand over my child."
"Or else?" Chu Mo said indifferently.
"Or else, I'll make sure you die without a complete corpse!" Wu Yiju looked at Chu Mo. "It was a mistake for you to appear here! A huge mistake! If you hadn't come, the ten of us would have left this annoying secular city by now. If you hadn't come, the ten of us would have gathered our legacies and one day, the name of the Ethereal Palace would once again resound in the Four Symbols Continent! And you … You're a schemer through and through! You lied to all of us and took away all the legacies. Now you want to keep it all to yourself! "
"Aren't you going to threaten my family or something?" Chu Mo looked at Wu Yiju with a playful expression.
Wu Yiju said arrogantly, "Do you think I'm like you? Using someone else's family to threaten me? I, Wu Yiju … don't want to do something like that! Your loved ones are nothing but ants to me! Who would be interested in dealing with a few ants? "
Chu Mo nodded seriously. "Very good. Your words have saved your life. After all, I don't want a child to lose his mother at such a young age, even if … his father is the leader of the Sky Rapier Sect."
"What … What do you mean?" Wu Yiju looked at Chu Mo in disbelief. Then she sneered, "You still have the guts to threaten me at a time like this? Don't you know that the person who will help me is here? "
"I know." Chu Mo nodded. "I also know that he is outside and has been eavesdropping. Didn't you say so much just now to buy time?"
"You … You know everything?" Wu Yiju's mouth twitched. She looked at Chu Mo. "How is that possible?"
Chu Mo said Coldly to the people outside, "You're all here. Don't tell me … You still want to eavesdrop? That doesn't seem to fit your identities. "
As he spoke, the door was pushed open and six people filed in from outside.
These six people did not wear masks or hide their identities. After all, Elder Lu was already dead, and his identity was already known by others. If he were to continue hiding his identity, he would seem a little petty.
The other five people surrounded one of them, as if they were stars surrounding the moon.
"I'm the leader of the Sky Rapier Sect," the man in the middle, who looked to be in his 40s, said while looking at Chu Mo.
