The atmosphere within the Ancient City grew increasingly tense and solemn, making even the ordinary cultivators originating from the heavenly road turn anxious. Powerful cultivators were searching everywhere, and even figures of the Emperor Realm had appeared!

A large number of cultivators had nearly dug three feet into the ground in search of something throughout the city.

It was said that Lord Luo Jue had calculated that the person who had saved Liu Yun was still in the city and had not left.

However, what frustrated Luo Jue's subordinates was that no matter how they searched, that person had seemingly evaporated from existence, thoroughly disappearing from their view. Despite repeated checks over these days, no viable target was found.

The person who easily suppressed that envoy of the true immortal realm must be a powerful being at least of the Emperor Realm. Therefore, almost all of the searchers had set their sights on cultivators of that level.

This made Chu Mo and his companions temporarily safe.

However, it was uncertain what changes would occur when their attention turned to cultivators of the true immortal realm.

Inside the inn.

Chu Qing looked at Chu Mo and said, "These days, we've been inspected four times. I think if this continues, sooner or later, we'll give ourselves away."

Chu Mo nodded. In reality, they had been lucky to have avoided detection thus far. If the inspections continued, they might genuinely be discovered.

After all, they were cultivators from the Heavenly Realm and did not belong to this world.

Hu Lie spoke irritably, "It's far too domineering. To catch one person, they have completely sealed off a city."

Chu Qing said, "For such a powerful being, this kind of action isn't surprising at all. If he destroyed the entire city and killed all the cultivators here in a fit of rage… there'd be nothing unexpected about it."

Yiyi nodded and added, "Yeah, this kind of thing isn't really fresh news."

They were born into great clans and, even if they hadn't witnessed such events, they had an expansive view of the world. They knew far more than most about the secrets of the Heavenly Realm. For a Quasi-Supreme, if they were determined to find someone, they would spare no effort.

Just then, Yiyi's brows suddenly knit together, and she showed a strange expression, followed by a wry smile. "How can this be? I... I feel that... I seem to be on the verge of a breakthrough!"

The group was initially stunned before succumbing to a wave of speechlessness.

Receiving an opportunity at the end of the heavenly road was a tremendous blessing, but at that moment… it became a matter of life and death.

They exchanged helpless looks. They were trapped here, escape was impossible! If they chose to transcend tribulation within the city, there would be no need for further discussion as they would be immediately exposed. It would be like a dazzling beacon!

Yiyi took a deep breath and said, "I... I still have a few dharma instruments for escape on me."

An opportunity does not come if forced; but when it arrives, it can't be refused!

Especially for someone like Yiyi, a great cultivator attempting to breakthrough from the true immortal realm to the Emperor Realm, the approaching opportunity would surge like a raging wave, growing increasingly intense. Even if she suppressed it, refusing to undergo tribulation, the aura she emitted would definitely attract the attention of everyone in the city.

Chu Qing shook his head and said, "This city has long been ensnared by their nets, surely filled with countless arrays. Escaping is easier said than done."

Yiyi's face turned a bit pale as she whispered, "I can't drag you all into this."

Chu Qing looked at her and replied, "Don't talk nonsense. We're in this together! We shall face it collectively."

Chu Mo was silent for a moment, then declared, "Come, I'll lead you out."

"You?" Everyone was stunned, looking at Chu Mo.

Xiao Changping couldn't help but say, "Don't be impulsive. Let's think if there are any other options."

Chu Mo shook his head, "The aura on her is going to grow stronger, and in less than an hour, it will be completely uncontrollable! It's better to leave the city now rather than wait to be detected later."

"If we leave, our departure will likely be detected immediately, and by then... we'll be completely targeted," Xiao Changping expressed.

Chu Mo replied, "Even if we don't leave, being detected is only a matter of time. Who knows, maybe we've already been found out, they're just not startling the snake in the grass..."

Everyone frowned, and Chu Qing inhaled sharply, "You're right; that's quite possible."

Yue Qingcheng recalled, "During the last inspection two days ago, someone gave us a very peculiar look. I thought they would ask us something. They left without asking anything. And then, for three days straight, no one came. Could there be... a problem with that?"

"Definitely!" Chu Mo nodded confidently. "I noticed that detail as well."

"I also realized," Yiyi murmured.

Chu Mo glanced at everyone, "This matter, it's because of me. If it weren't for me..."

"Don't say such things," Yiyi said looking at Chu Mo, "We're together in this!"

Chu Qing also added, "There is no reason to abandon someone to die. Besides, their primary aim is you. Actually, it doesn't have much relevance to the matter at hand anymore."

Over these days, although Chu Mo had not said much, everyone had more or less guessed something. Especially the person who had been rescued, said to be personally sought by Lord Luo Jue. And that person was a female cultivator from the Heavenly Realm.

Given this, almost everyone present had surmised that the person must be Liu Yun. And the only one capable of having rescued her had to be Chu Mo!

Even though no one knew how Chu Mo had done it, as Chu Qing said, Luo Jue's target was Chu Mo. They just happened to be in this city. Although the enemy was searching for the person who had saved Liu Yun, once they discovered these individuals with hidden identities, the situation would likely develop in the worst direction imaginable to them.

The mood became somewhat dreary; a large number of Emperors were stationed within the city, oppressing everyone with a weight that made it hard to breathe. One misstep could result in an irreversible calamity; it was a situation no one could take lightly.

At that moment, the corners of Chu Mo's brows twitched slightly, and he said softly, "It seems they're forcing us to make a decision."

In the distance, someone… was flying towards the inn.

Moreover, according to the warnings from the Sky Celestial Mirror, there were at least ten high-ranking Emperor Realm cultivators approaching!

It was an alarming force!

Even within the Heavenly Realm, such strength was enough to worry any great clan.

Chu Mo took a deep breath, thinking: Entering Earth… this time, it's up to you! I hope you won't disappoint me.

Hum!

In the void above, a dharma instrument suspended directly above the inn, radiating a formidable aura that sealed off the entire area.

Then, more than a dozen figures appeared instantaneously.

The booming and unrestrained voice of the Giant Spirit Emperor directly echoed, "You little fellows from the Heavenly Realm, don't harbor any false hopes. Come out and surrender yourselves obediently!"
