At that moment, the icy voice rang out from the other side of the communication stone, "Kid, the person you want to harm is named Chu Mo, right? Hahaha, that's a remarkable person indeed. I just found out that he's the one Luo Jue wants to kill! Now you can be completely at ease, I can promise you that no one will compete with you for that little girl with the surname Shui. She's yours! Because Chu Mo is bound to die! No one targeted by Luo Jue has ever survived! By the way, hurry up and tell me your position in the starry sky coordinates!"

Fan Yang's lips trembled, his eyes fixated on the direction outside the tent, unable to move at all, even his fingers... had become incredibly stiff. He wanted to activate the Escape Charm on the ancient dharma instrument he carried, but he was completely immobile!

On the other end of the communication stone, sensing something amiss, the voice grew anxious, "Kid, you're not playing games with me, are you? I'm telling you, if you dare to toy with me, I will definitely tear you into ten thousand pieces! Don't think that just because you helped me once, but Chu Mo is too important... Hurry up..."

Fan Yang shuddered and subconsciously cut off the communication from the stone. Then, with a somewhat hoarse voice, he said, "Is there still a chance for redemption in this matter?"

Outside the tent, there was utter silence.

Fan Yang gave a bitter smile and then suddenly activated the location of the Escape Charm on the ancient dharma instrument he held in his hand.

There lay hidden an Escape Charm Array, capable of instantly tearing through the void and fleeing millions of miles! Moreover, the energy stored in this instrument could be used up to ten times! Even now with its imperfections, at least, it could still be used three or four times in succession.

That was more than enough for Fan Yang to shake off everyone!

Unsatisfied?

Of course, he was unsatisfied.

Not being able to doom Chu Mo to death, he felt far too aggrieved.

But there was no helping it. He still had no idea how the other party had seen through him, and how they managed to ignore the barrier of this ancient dharma instrument and overhear his conversation with the Imperial Master.

Indeed, there was no evidence to suggest they had heard, but Fan Yang had no illusion of luck. The fact that they had all reached outside his tent meant they had already uncovered his plot. At this point, evidence was no longer important.

Even Yiyi would not speak on his behalf at such a time.

Because of his actions, he was about to drag everyone down with him!

Even he understood such conduct, once discovered, only left one path—death!

The speed of thought is always unimaginable. It is thousands and millions of times faster than action.

Thus, Fan Yang thought of many things in an instant, filled with reluctance and regret, but it was too late to turn back now.

He activated the Escape Charm Array on this instrument, and as the array opened instantly, tearing through the void, it was about to whisk Fan Yang's body away from here completely!

Clang!

In the void, a sonorous sound echoed.

A streak of blade light struck.

Fan Yang only felt a slight pain at his brow, and then he heard an icy voice rise next to his ear.

"This blade should have split you in half a few days ago, and now it finally claims you. This is retribution!"

Boom!

That ancient dharma instrument shattered instantly, actually cleaved to pieces by the Heaven Slaying blade!

The aura that burst forth was like a white wave surging upon a lake, pushing crosswise in an instant, completely flattening everything within a hundred million miles as if plowing a garden or sweeping a den!

The remnants of the supreme artifact exploded on the ground, terrifying in power!

In the instant that the ancient dharma instrument exploded, Chu Mo had already employed the Chaos Furnace, enveloping everyone within its protection.

When the force had passed, Chu Mo retracted the Chaos Furnace and then coldly looked at Fan Yang, who had been split in two by Heaven Slaying, picked up the transmission stone from his hand, weighed it, and then turned back to the pale-looking Yiyi, showing a look of regret, "Sorry."

"The one who should be sorry is me," Yiyi said with reddened eyes, bowing to the group: "I trusted him too much and almost dragged everyone into a disaster with no return. I apologize, it's my responsibility!"

Chu Qing came over, gently embracing Yiyi, allowing her to lean into his embrace, and spoke softly, "It's okay, Yiyi, it's over now. Fan Yang deserved to die; you don't need to be upset for him. This kind of scum deserves more than death. He actually decided to collude with the native cultivators to frame all of us... Oh, and as for you, he was indeed sincerely caring, he didn't plan to harm you."

"Stop talking..." Yiyi said, slightly choking up: "In any case, I'm to blame for this."

Xiao Changping said from the side: "From the conversation earlier, it seems someone has been targeting Brother Chu for a while now?"

Ever since Chu Mo had saved him, Xiao Changping had begun to see Chu Mo as his brother. This was a man who was clear about favors and grudges, and held great loyalty. Hearing that someone was targeting Chu Mo, he felt very angry.

Both Chu Qing and Yiyi had also regained their composure, Chu Qing was slightly frowning and murmuring, "Luo Jue... why does this name sound familiar?"

The complexion of Yiyi at that time, however, had become somewhat unsightly, "I know who Luo Jue is! He's the King of the heavenly road!"

"What?" Everyone couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

Yue Qingcheng said with an incredulous look, "Impossible, right? What status does the King of the heavenly road have? Why would he make a move against the Young Master?"

Hu Lie took a deep breath, his eyes filled with shock: "If it's really the King of the heavenly road who is going after Chu Mo, I suggest we leave the heavenly road immediately. What fortune, what promotion... those things, even in the Heavenly Realm, can also be achieved, right? It just might take a bit more time. Chu Mo isn't short on money, he could just stack up the finest Heavenly Crystals, and in a few years pile up an Emperor!"

"Indeed, if this is true, I also suggest leaving immediately," Chu Qing said with a solemn face: "Advancing to Emperor might hold the most opportunities on the heavenly road, but it's the same in the Heavenly Realm! People like the Jin Wu Emperor, Wang Zhen, and even Guo Tianwang... none of them ever took the heavenly road, but they're still worthy of the title of Heavenly Genius."

Xiao Changping also agreed with Chu Mo leaving, he looked at Chu Mo and said: "Don't hesitate anymore, what that damned bastard emperor said must hold some truth. Quickly find a way to leave the heavenly road!"

Yiyi looked at Chu Mo and said softly, "This matter must have originated from Hanging City!"

Chu Mo had been frowning throughout, looking at everyone's reactions, and agreeing with Yiyi's speculation, but he was also made somewhat bewildered by everyone's seriousness. He looked at the people before him, unable to help asking, "Who is Luo Jue? What King of the heavenly road?"

When he finished asking, the faces of the people all showed a speechless expression. But they all came to a realization as well, after all, Chu Mo wasn't raised in the Heavenly Realm since childhood. Moreover, nobody had told him too much about the heavenly road before he entered it.

The Imperial Master of Purple Smoke hadn't said anything, and it seemed neither had Lord Hongyue!

Yiyi sighed and looked at Chu Mo: "Luo Jue, revered as the King of the heavenly road, is the most powerful cultivator on the entire road. It's said that his cultivation has already reached the Quasi-Supreme level!"
