Zhao Fan's voice gradually faded away.

However, the rage in Chu Mo's heart became increasingly intense. He sneered coldly within his heart: So you won't let me go, Zhao Fan? You'd better pray to your ancestors in Longevity Heaven, that you never encounter me again! Otherwise, I will definitely cut you down with a single stroke!

Although the opponent's level was much higher than his own, Chu Mo had absolute confidence that he could annihilate Zhao Fan.

The Chu Mo of the past did not know how powerful others were. Although he grew up in the military, he had never experienced real war.

Therefore, he did not know what kind of combat power fighters of different ranks possessed.

Along the way, he had been hunting and killing various second and third rank Primordial Beasts, enjoying every bit of it. He even dared to battle with a fourth rank Primordial Beast, such as the Red-Eyed Cold Ice Python, and in the end, was able to successfully slay it!

Even though the process was full of danger, the result was not unexpected.

Chu Mo believed it should be this way!

His current level should be this strong.

It wasn't until he encountered other martial artists, when he saw the greed and longing in their eyes upon seeing the Primordial Beast materials on his back.

Chu Mo suddenly understood something.

Why were the materials from Primordial Beasts so valuable? That was because hunting Primordial Beasts was extremely difficult!

A Primordial Beast was far from being a soft, weak sheep. Even a first-rank Primordial Beast was ferocious and stronger than any beast in the world.

How could it be easily hunted?

"So... could it be that I am too strong?"

"Or... could it be that the cultivation techniques I practiced are too powerful?"

Later, when he faced opponents on the Prairie who were also at Yellow Rank three and had broken through the Primordial Pass, Chu Mo finally understood. It was not that others were too weak, but that he... was indeed too strong!

To be precise, the cultivation methods he practiced were all too strong!

This was not being immodest, but an indisputable fact!

Anything needs comparison to distinguish superiority.

Chu Mo hadn't felt before that the nameless techniques taught to him by his master, which had no prestige at first glance, were so powerful.

But now, he knew.

Although Zhao Fan was a disciple of Longevity Heaven and was one rank higher than him, Chu Mo was in no way timid!

Even if Zhao Fan were aware of his strength, Chu Mo would not fear him, let alone... Zhao Fan didn't know!

Zhao Fan fled, which was not in line with the demeanor of a large sect's disciple. This made Leng Qiuming, Yu Zonghou, and Dongfang Bai look a bit uneasy.

They all knew how to speak nice words, but when they actually had to face a monster like Longevity Heaven, they all felt some uncertainty.

After a moment of silence, Leng Qiuming smiled: "Actually, it's not a big deal. We didn't really do anything to him. If he can face going to sue us, I'm afraid he won't be able to lift his head in Longevity Heaven."

Yu Zonghou nodded: "He can't be that stupid. He wouldn't easily let others know about the opportunity here!"

"What Brother Leng said is right. Anyway, we haven't done anything to him. Even if he were to accuse us... he needs evidence!" Dongfang Bai sneered: "What's more, I don't believe he would give up the opportunity here!"

"Yes, as long as he comes back, he will have to bow to us three!" Leng Qiuming glanced at the other two: "But the premise is that we three must always be united!"

"Of course!" Dongfang Bai nodded.

Yu Zonghou also nodded: "Don't worry, no matter how domineering Longevity Heaven is, they won't offend our three sects for the sake of an inner disciple."

Chu Mo was quietly listening on the side, thinking: It seems that Longevity Heaven really is the largest sect in this world. The levels of these three people are similar to that of Zhao Fan, but they are still so cautious. It's evident that they're not cautious of Zhao Fan himself, but rather the sect behind him!

"It seems that having a strong power backing you really has its advantages."

At this time, the three men looked at Chu Mo.

Chu Mo took a step back, showing a frightened expression on his face: "Are you... are you going to kill me too?"

"Haha, don't be afraid, why would we want to kill you?" Leng Qiuming's pupils flickered with a strange light. To be honest, he indeed didn't feel like leaving this kid alive.

Because the conversation among the few of them earlier did not exclude this kid. If it leaked out, it would damage their reputation.

However, suspecting that his two companions wouldn't agree, Leng Qiuming concealed this evil intention of his.

"Little kid, if you come to Golden Saber Sect, mention my name, Yu Zonghou. I can't guarantee that you'll become an inner disciple directly, but being an outer disciple should be well within reach," Yu Zonghou said.

Dongfang Bai glanced at Chu Mo: "Fire Sect, mention me!"

Because of their remarks about Qi Xiaoyu, Chu Mo didn't like these three men very much either, especially Leng Qiuming who even thought about possessing Xiaoyu. However, they were all much better than Zhao Fan in comparison.

Therefore, Chu Mo wanted to ask what exactly was the grievance between them and Qi Xiaoyu.

However, these three didn't give him this chance. After speaking, they all turned and left.

Before leaving, Dongfang Bai thought for a moment, took out a primordial stone from his body, tossed it to Chu Mo, but said nothing and left directly.

Chu Mo looked at the primordial stone in his hand. Although it wasn't as good as the one from the special envoy of Great Qi, it was much better than the one he got from the outer disciple of Longevity Heaven.

"So this is a primordial stone? Thank you!" Chu Mo shouted loudly at Dongfang Bai's retreating figure.

But Dongfang Bai didn't respond at all and disappeared in an instant.

These few people must have considered Chu Mo as an ordinary child from the secular world and didn't take him seriously.

But Chu Mo remembered Dongfang Bai's action in his heart.

The wheel of fortune turns, and the world of martial arts persists.

There will always be a day of reckoning!

Those three must have gone to find Qi Xiaoyu. Chu Mo wasn't daring enough to rashly venture into that forest right now.

At this point, he suddenly had a thought. None of the four, including Zhao Fan of Longevity Heaven, had managed to discern his cultivation level. That was quite curious.

They might not have been able to accurately guess his cultivation level, but there was always the fluctuation of primordial force around him.

Yet the four treated him as any normal youth in the secular world.

"Could it be? The jade's work again?"

Chu Mo muttered to himself, his consciousness entering the jade's space. The tiny gray tree inside was now sprouting seven or eight green buds. In this desolate space, they seemed full of vitality.

Chu Mo picked up the Heaven's Will talisman to check but nothing had changed. He wasn't disappointed. It probably hadn't received any new energy lately.

Thinking about this made Chu Mo a bit frustrated. Even now, he still hadn't completely figured out what the jade wanted from him.

"It seems I should venture out more often," Chu Mo thought to himself and put away the Heaven's Will talisman.

Suddenly, he felt a piercing cold sensation envelop him.

It was as if a powerful Primordial Beast had set its sights on him!

Without any hesitation, Chu Mo immediately mobilized the primordial force inside his body and lunged to the side.

Boom!

A surge of overpowering force exploded beside him.

This attack was far fiercer than Zhao Fan's strike before!

A massive pit, over a dozen meters deep, appeared in the grassland!

If Chu Mo hadn't reacted quickly, the attack would have dealt him a severe injury, or even killed him!

Clearly, the opponent was aiming to kill him.

Aside from Zhao Fan, Chu Mo couldn't think of anyone else who would do this. His heart roared with rage.

"I haven't even gotten to you yet and now you're coming for me?"

At that moment, Chu Mo's face betrayed a hint of fright. He looked at Zhao Fan, whose form was gradually becoming visible, and stuttered, "You...weren't you gone?"

"Idiot, those were invisibility charms!" Zhao Fan spat, "That charm was the most precious thing I received after joining my sect, and you...you wasted it! I won't rest until I've killed you!"

"Isn't Longevity Heaven supposed to represent justice? How can you do this? I've done nothing to you!" Chu Mo retorted angrily.

"Innocent to the extreme," Zhao Fan sneered at Chu Mo, "The surprising thing to me is, you're actually a primordial force martial artist? I may have underestimated you. However, it doesn't matter. Even as a primordial force martial artist, you're destined to die today!"

Upon hearing Zhao Fan, Chu Mo immediately declared, "If you don't kill me, I'll tell you where the blue-skirted girl is hiding!"

"Hmph, so you really have seen her!" Zhao Fan's eyes brightened minutely as he glared at Chu Mo, "You better not play tricks on me, boy. The very moment you evaded my strike, I realized your cultivation level is at least at the second-tier peak. Killing you is as easy as turning my hand!"

"No different than crushing an ant!"

"I know I can't beat you, but I'll only tell you if you promise not to kill me." Chu Mo brushed off the dust on his body and stood up, pure eyes filled with tension staring at Zhao Fan.

"Fine, I promise you. As long as you lead me to that demon girl, I will spare you! " Zhao Fan said solemnly, lips curling in a cold smile. Naive! You've witnessed so much today that if I don't kill you, I won't be able to face my peers if the news gets out!

"Alright, I'll lead the way!" Chu Mo said decisively, turning to walk towards the forest, leaving his whole back exposed to Zhao Fan.

Zhao Fan's eyes flickered. Being suspicious by nature, he didn't fully trust the youth's words, but he was indeed eager to catch that girl.

The reason wasn't as simple as being attracted to her. Rather, the girl was carrying something precious that he had never seen before!

The wound on the girl wasn't inflicted by him and his companions. They didn't possess such skills.

Instead, the girl had discovered an entrance nearby!

An entrance that appeared on the full moon night!

The girl attempted to force her way through but was injured by the entrance's formation, which resulted in her grave injury.

Zhao Fan and his companions just happened to witness this and set their greedy eyes on her, trying to kill her for both her life and her treasures. Unfortunately, the girl managed to slip away from under their noses.

They pursued her non-stop, firstly out of covetousness for the treasures she carried, and secondly due to the fear of her hidden power!

How terrifying must the force behind a teenage girl, who has such a high cultivation level, be?

Neither Leng Qiuming nor Zhao Fan had the slightest confidence!

Then they ran into Chu Mo and the events just took place.

Zhao Fan was convinced that the girl surely carried immeasurable treasures. If he could capture her, he would undoubtedly reap a huge reward!

Then, by killing her... he could get rid of her once and for all, preventing future trouble.

As for taking her as a maidservant or whatnot, it was merely lip service.

As Chu Mo led the way, he spoke while walking, "I saw her entering this forest, but I don't know where she hid specifically. However, I suspect she can't have gone far given the grave injury she had then..."

"Is that so?" Zhao Fan, glancing around, his voice growing increasingly icy.

Suddenly, Chu Mo, who was leading the way, spun around. An initially empty hand now held a shiny long knife that was abruptly swinging down on Zhao Fan.

"Certainly!"

Chu Mo bellowed.

A fabulously dazzling blade light lit up between heaven and earth!
