Chu Mo wanted to take Yue Qingcheng and Hu Lie to search for the greatest opportunity, and he didn't mind bringing Chu Qing and Yiyi along. However, he had no desire to bring along someone who harbored intense animosity towards him in pursuit of that opportunity.

But Fan Yang seemed completely oblivious to these feelings, steadfastly refusing to stray far from Yiyi and never taking the initiative to seek out his own opportunities.

Such behavior was actually beginning to annoy even Yiyi, but she found it difficult to voice her disapproval.

On the twentieth day of the fourth month, Chu Mo and his group encountered someone rather unexpected on their journey.

Xiao Changping!

The young lord, dressed in coarse clothing, without any followers.

He was wielding a large blade that resembled a door panel, locked in battle with a native powerhouse of the heavenly road, but the situation was perilously fraught, and he seemed on the cusp of falling at any moment.

For the native powerhouse of the heavenly road was a mighty figure at the third tier of the Emperor Realm!

The battle between them must have been raging for a long time, as some of the mountains, rivers, and lakes below had been obliterated.

Xiao Changping had sustained severe injuries; his rough clothing soaked in blood, revealing ghastly white bones in some places. Yet, he showed not the slightest sign of yielding, fighting with ferocious intensity.

The arrival of Chu Mo's group made the third-tier Emperor Realm native cultivator wary, especially when he saw a human head hanging at Chu Mo's waist... it made him feel all the more uneasy.

While subduing Xiao Changping's attacks, he spoke in a deep voice, "Don't meddle in other people's business, and stay away!"

Even if he hadn't spoken, Chu Mo had no intention to simply watch from the sidelines. With that comment, it was even less likely for Chu Mo to remain indifferent. He had a good impression of Xiao Changping.

Without a word, Chu Mo immediately took action. With Heaven Slaying in hand, his blade flashed in all directions.

Over these months, Chu Mo's progress had been swift, and his realm had already advanced to the later stages of a true immortal. The instant he made his move, Yiyi and Chu Qing also joined the fray.

The third-tier Emperor Realm powerhouse was seething with rage as he shattered Chu Mo's strike and roared, "Outsiders... have you all grown weary of living?"

Situated at the far end of the heavenly road, he was not well-informed about the outside world. Had he known that Chu Mo had soloed a third-tier Emperor Realm powerhouse at Hanging City, decapitating him and hanging his head around his waist, he certainly would not have been so full of confidence.

In his eyes, they were merely a group of true immortals from outside, and a few more made no difference to him. In the end... the more he could reap!

Bian Kaiyu was certainly cunning. His head had been cut off by Chu Mo and hung at his waist, and he had come all the way to this place he had never been before. Confronted with an Emperor Realm cultivator of the same level as he had once been, he couldn't even be bothered to speak.

"What does living or dying have to do with me, Lord Bian?"

Boom!

Yiyi struck out at the third-tier Emperor Realm powerhouse with a palm, her terrifying power distorting the very void.

The Emperor Realm figure was immediately taken aback, shocked that a mere true immortal could possess such formidable power. He remained unalert, though, and with a cold snort, countered with a casual strike.

The power of the third-tier Emperor Realm—how could it be compared to that of a true immortal? He easily dispelled Yiyi's attack.

However, what he didn't expect was that, on the other side, Chu Qing thrust forth with his sword, like a streak of light!

The real killing move—was there!

Throughout these days, everyone had been cooperating in battle and had developed an understanding without needing words.

As Hu Lie would put it, their attacks were like waves. One wave followed another, each more tumultuous than the last!

Chu Qing's sword had caught the Emperor Realm figure off guard. The aura of the sword emitted a dazzling, brilliant light, elusive yet incredibly sharp!

"Ha!" he bellowed, taking the fight seriously at last, and struck out towards the sword aura.

Although he crushed the sword qi with his palm, a faint bloodstain was left on it.

"You all deserve to die!" he roared in anger.

A-a-ooh!

A tiger's roar!

Hu Lie's attack came from behind!

Hu Lie turned into his true form, a ferocious paw swung toward the back of this Emperor Realm powerhouse. His enormous tiger paw showcased dangerously sharp claws!

"There's a little tiger too? This one looks tasty!" The Emperor Realm cultivator snorted coldly, preparing to turn around and slay Hu Lie.

But at that moment, Yue Qingcheng's attack also arrived.

After several months of rigorous training, Yue Qingcheng had made significant progress, elevating his combat strength to a level that even Yiyi looked upon with new respect.

Following that, Fan Yang's attack also arrived as expected.

In this moment, no matter how much he despised Chu Mo, he couldn't show it. His plan wasn't ready to be put into motion yet.

The sudden assaults from several individuals threw the Emperor Realm heavyweight into a state of chaos, allowing the heavily injured Xiao Changping to catch a break. His expression remained icy cold, but deep in his eyes, there was a touch of emotion.

Chu Mo had only casually swung his sword like a battle cry and then stopped, not continuing his attack. Letting everyone have a go at an Emperor Realm cultivator was not a bad idea.

If that Emperor Realm cultivator knew what Chu Mo was thinking, he would have been furious to the point of spitting blood.

Seeing the heavily wounded Xiao Changping, Chu Mo nodded and pulled out a bottle of elixir, tossing it to him: "Heal yourself first."

Xiao Changping was not polite, nodding in acknowledgment, he opened the bottle and without hesitation took out two pills and swallowed them. His face then showed a look of shock: "Is this... perfect-quality Healing Pills?"

Chu Mo offered a faint smile: "It's nothing much."

Xiao Changping took a deep look at Chu Mo, said nothing more, and began to meditate and regulate his breathing.

That Emperor Realm cultivator realized too late after being besieged by several true immortals at their peak that this group was unexpectedly strong, making him feel frustrated and constrained. His heart filled with rage, especially when he saw that young man with a severed head hung from his waist, ignoring him while aiding another in healing. He bellowed furiously, "None of you will escape today!"

With that said, arrays instantly formed at the feet of the Emperor Realm cultivator.

Not good... he's trying to escape!

Chu Mo's expression suddenly sharpened, a murderous intent flashed between his brows. This move by the Emperor Realm cultivator had taken him by surprise, to actually consider fleeing after only a few exchanges with several true immortals?

Chu Mo raised his hand and delivered a slash directly at the head of the Emperor Realm cultivator!

This slash... was wholly Chu Mo's own, filled with boundless deadly intent!

Heaven Slaying reverberated, it was thirsty, craving the blood of the Emperor!

But just then, Fan Yang, seemingly intentional or otherwise... appeared right in the path of Chu Mo's slash.

If Chu Mo were to bring down his slash, he would be able to keep this Emperor Realm cultivator here, but Fan Yang... would also inevitably be cleaved by him.

Chu Mo's eyes flickered, yet he still halted his advancing strike. He dispelled all his strength, gazing coldly at Fan Yang.

"Fan Yang, what are you doing!" Yiyi exploded in anger.

The Emperor Realm powerhouse, intent on fleeing, needed only a fraction of a second. Thus, the Emperor Realm cultivator vanished in an instant, leaving nothing but the residual marks of the arrays in the void.

Fan Yang then looked visibly relieved, "I'm sorry... my Lord, I... I wanted to stop him from escaping, who knew Young Master Chu... would make a move."
