This battle that attracted the attention of the Heaven Realm, the Immortal Realm, and the Spiritual Realm finally ended in a way that no one had expected.
Chu Mo, who was supposed to play the leading role in this battle, did not make a move from beginning to end. He just watched a wonderful show, which was far more exciting than any story in the theater!
All kinds of reversals, betrayals, twists, and oddities, plus the strife and transactions between the major forces … the interests of the family were paramount.
It was simply a vivid life lesson for Chu Mo!
In the end, the leader of this battle … the leader of the Nine Moons Sect, a half-step Deity Refinement expert, Dongfang Changsheng, was besieged to death by a group of people. The Nine Moons Sect cultivators he led were also mercilessly beheaded here at Dugu Mountain.
Watching the battle between them, Chu Mo felt that all along, his actions were really as pure as water, very clear and transparent.
Because he was still talking about rules, talking about morality, and still adhering to the creed of benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom, and trust. He insisted that if people don't offend me, I won't offend them. But in the eyes of these great clans and sects that had stood in the Spiritual Realm for countless years, these things did not exist at all!
In their eyes, in the end, there was only one word — interests!
Only then did Chu Mo understand that he was the "most traditional" and "most old-fashioned" person.
Before Dongfang Changsheng died, he used a sound transmission stone to communicate with the Nine Moons Sect and issued a kill order to the major forces! He asked the disciples of the sect to fight to the death with the major forces!
As the sect leader, his words were the most authoritative decree in the Nine Moons Sect, and he had many confidants. There were also disciples in the Nine Moons Sect who could enter the Illusory God Realm, and they were very clear about the cause and effect of this matter. Therefore, after Dongfang Changsheng's kill order was issued, the entire Nine Moons Sect directly became restless.
A completely foreseeable war was about to unfold!
What was interesting was that Chu Mo, who had divided up 30% of the assets of the Nine Moons Sect for no reason, seemed to be deliberately forgotten by Dongfang Changsheng.
In the end, when he notified his subordinates in the sect to launch an attack against the few great powers, he'd completely overlooked Chu Mo and Silken City. No one would think that he had truly forgotten about Chu Mo. It could only be said that at that moment, his hatred for the Zhong, Hu, and Ping Families had completely surpassed his hatred for Chu Mo.
On the message board, the cultivators from the Heavenly Realm and the Immortal Realm were all speechless at this result.
Because even among them, it was rare for such an exciting show to happen.
"Chu Mo is so lucky!"
"When he comes to the Immortal World, I must get to know him."
"Hehe … He might not be so lucky after he comes to the Celestial World!"
"The legendary peerless genius! I really hope to meet him in the Immortal World!"
"My favorite thing to do is to strangle geniuses! Especially geniuses whose names shake the world. "
There were all kinds of voices on the message board. Some wanted to get to know Chu Mo, while others wanted to suppress him. It was chaotic, and Chu Mo didn't pay too much attention to it.
The Zhong, Hu, and Ping Family Patriarchs didn't seem to feel any pressure about the next battle against the September Sect and the crazy counterattack of the September Sect. They talked and laughed, and even asked people to prepare wine and food, and drank with Chu Mo on the top of the ruined Dugu Mountain.
"Fellow Daoist Chu, do you think that we are too ruthless?" Zhong Lie, the Patriarch of the Zhong Family, looked at Chu Mo and asked with a smile.
Hu Badao, the Patriarch of the Hu Family, drank a glass of wine, then put down the glass and looked at Chu Mo and said, "It should be capricious?"
Chu Mo smiled. "A little of both, I can only say that I may still be a little uncomfortable."
"Yes, this is the world of cultivation!" The Patriarch of the Ping Family said with a smile. "Anything can happen. Especially forces like us, which are considered the top in this Spiritual Realm. But one wrong decision may cause the entire force to fall apart in a short period of time, beyond redemption! Therefore, we need to be extremely cautious in every decision we make. As for benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom, and trust, although we yearn for it, there is really no way to strictly abide by it. "
"Because our every word and deed, every move, represents the rise and fall of the entire family! As for personal honor and disgrace … it is actually the same thing. " Hu Badao drank another glass, then sighed. "Before I sat in this position, I was also a hot-blooded and righteous young man!"
"Haha, now you have become a ruthless and capricious old fox?" Zhong Lie laughed and joked. There was no sign that the two of them had completely fallen out and even fought before.
"Old fox? No, I am an ambitious person! " Hu Badao once again drank the wine in his glass. His voice was like gold and iron, very straightforward. "What I want to do is to let the glory of the Hu Family continue. Even if one day it is difficult to escape the fate of extreme prosperity and decline, it must not be buried in my hands! No matter what method I use, as long as I can ensure that my family does not decline. Then, I am the hero of this family! As for what outsiders think of me, is that important? "
The Ping Family Head nodded with a face full of emotion, agreeing with Hu Badao's words.
Zhong Lie, who was at the side, also nodded continuously, then looked at Chu Mo. "Fellow Chu might not know, but the Ping Family Head and I were once the best of brothers! Hu Badao and I … have known each other for hundreds of years. But reality is like this. When it is time to plot against him, I will not be lenient. This is the leader of a large family, personal feelings … will always be ranked behind the interests of the family! "
Chu Mo was somewhat speechless. After a long time, he smiled bitterly. "I will not plot against my friends."
Hu Badao shook his head and looked at Chu Mo with a serious expression. "Everyone has their own way of doing things. However, I want to remind you that you can choose not to scheme against your friends, but you can't easily trust them! At least … not completely. Especially if your friends are like us, then you should be even more wary of them. Because once they become the leader of a faction, then they are no longer themselves. What he represented was always the interests of the faction behind him! Otherwise, they will never be able to reach that position! "
The Ping Family Head nodded. "So, don't ever make friends with people like us."
Zhong Lie said, "Cooperation is fine. Sometimes, a relationship of interest is more pure. If it is a friend, it may be hurt. "
The Ping Family Head faintly said, "In the past, our relationship with Dongfang Changsheng was not bad, right?"
The other two nodded silently.
Chu Mo was dumbfounded. In the end, he could only stand up and cupped his hands at the three. "This kid has learned a lot today!"
"The current you may not understand this feeling, but sooner or later, you will understand. You are destined to go very high, and we will always pay attention to your news on the message board. "The Ping Family Head looked at Chu Mo's eyes with some emotion.
"That's right, you already have all the signs of soaring. The three of us old fellows are taking advantage of our seniority today to give you a reminder. In the future, be it the Immortal Realm or the Heavenly Realm, the higher the power, the more you cannot trust them! They will always be concerned with their own interests, "Hu Badao said.
Zhong Lie looked at Chu Mo. "But you can always adhere to the principles of benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom, and trust. Because you do not need to be like us … living like flies and dogs. Your strength and your future have determined that your life will be completely different from ours. "
The Ping Family Head nodded. "You will have a different kind of brilliance!"
