All previous speculations turned true; it wasn't that they hadn't discovered them, but they were already aware and chose not to alarm them. Chu Mo had no choice, even if they had sensed that the other party had become aware of something, they couldn't just start a war with them.

A group of true immortals, no matter how capable they were in battle, could never possibly be a match for a group of high-ranking emperors!

If it was just one, that would still be manageable. With their current combat strength, they might have a chance to inflict heavy damage on the opponent, or even possibly slay them. But the problem was, inside this Ancient City, such people… were a group!

What appeared now were more than a dozen, but who knew how many more were hidden in the dark?

Originally, it would have been incredible for the Ancient City to harbor so many emperor-level powerhouses, with one or two already considered quite remarkable.

High-ranking emperors were not cabbages, how could they be found just anywhere? Which high-ranking emperor wasn't the supreme lord of millions of miles of territory?

But now, for a common purpose, they had all gathered in this place.

It wasn't an exaggeration to say that, at this moment, nearly all the most powerful beings of the Heavenly Road were gathered here, each with intricate connections to Emperor Luo Jue.

No one would refuse the chance to leave this heavenly road if they could. Even if after leaving, they could never return, they would spare no effort!

Inside the room, Chu Mo and his companions exchanged glances, their faces revealing a hint of a bitter smile.

At that moment, the Giant Spirit Emperor raised his voice again and said, "That young fellow surnamed Chu, think it over. Lord Luo Jue simply wants to meet you and have a friendly discussion about some matters. With the lord's status, he doesn't even use the word 'summon', and you should feel extremely honored! As the saying goes, 'It's easy to drink a toast but hard to swallow punishment'. You're still young and have a great future ahead of you, don't make a mistake."

At that time, another cold voice resounded; this one belonged to the Cold Ice Emperor.

"Think about your friends by your side; they are innocent. If they end up losing their lives because of you, wouldn't you feel guilty?"

To think that high-ranking emperors, one playing the good cop and one playing the bad cop, would go to such lengths.

But they still didn't understand Chu Mo well enough. Since Chu Mo entered the Cultivation Realm and made his way to today, he had experienced many things and encountered numerous scum. What he hated the most were those who immediately threatened others by exploiting their loved ones.

At this moment, Chu Mo slowly activated the void on his body. The Blood Moons of Entering Earth were shining faintly, but they didn't emit any aura.

As a result, not even the high-ranking emperors outside had any clue!

Faced with the Cold Ice Emperor's threats, Chu Mo said coldly, "I don't need to think about that question because you will definitely do it, won't you? Isn't that what you already did? You went to great lengths to find out about my friends and then a bunch of emperor realm masters shamelessly imprisoned a girl. If you didn't do this, then who did, a bastard?"

"Shut up!" From the sky, the Cold Ice Emperor's voice, filled with rage, said coldly, "Indeed, it was you who did it!"

"Nonsense, of course it was your Lord Chu who did it!" Chu Mo retorted coldly. The Ground Entering Blood Moon on him suddenly burst out with a mysterious light, enveloping everyone around.

In the void, several angry shouts suddenly sounded, "Damn it!"

"He's trying to escape!"

"Suppress him directly!"

"We need Chu Mo alive; the lives of the others don't matter!"

Several high-ranking emperors spoke coldly.

In the room, Chu Mo and his companions were directly enveloped by the light emitted by the Ground Entering Blood Moon, and then the Wishful and Avoiding Disasters Blood Moons were also emitting their light, distorting the rules of the Great Dao of this Heaven and Earth.

The Chaos Blood Moon shook gently, releasing strands of chaos that enveloped the people in the room.

The high-ranking emperors in the sky suddenly lost their target.

Their faces all showed shock, and the Cold Ice Emperor and the Giant Spirit Emperor took action immediately.

The antique building where Chu Mo and his companions resided turned to nothingness in an instant. The means of a high-ranking emperor were astounding.

However, the ones who were shocked next, turned out to be these dozen high-ranking lords of the Emperor Realm.

They looked at each other, their eyes all shooting out beams of disbelief, watching that place with utmost astonishment.

Chu Mo and the others who should have appeared there, were not to be seen at all.

"How is this possible?" The Giant Spirit Emperor gazed blankly over there, glanced at the Cold Ice Emperor beside him, and asked, "Has the array… malfunctioned?"

The Cold Ice Emperor spoke with utter certainty, "Absolutely impossible! This array… was laid out by the five of us Emperors together! Between heaven and earth… there's simply nowhere for them to escape!"

At that moment, another high-ranking Emperor said with a stern face, "Giant Spirit Emperor, the array has not failed, and up until now, there has been no sign of any disturbance."

"Yes, Giant Spirit Emperor, the array has not been touched," another Emperor stepped forward to say.

"But how could these people… just disappear?" The Giant Spirit Emperor's lips twitched violently, staring intently at the spot where Chu Mo and his companions had vanished, unable to help himself from throwing out an attack.

Boom!

That spot was instantly blasted into a huge deep pit, bottomless to sight, yet it did not affect the nearby buildings. The high-ranking Emperors' precise control over their power was truly awe-inspiring.

Then, from the depths of that pit, suddenly there came a fluctuation.

The Giant Spirit Emperor's face immediately showed delight, as he exclaimed loudly, "We've found them!"

The corner of the Cold Ice Emperor's mouth twitched, and he said coldly, "That's our array being disturbed."

The Giant Spirit Emperor's face immediately turned to embarrassment; he was skilled in combat but almost clueless about anything else, hence he had made a fool of himself.

However, no one could laugh now, because a group of individuals had disappeared right under the noses of these high-ranking Emperors. Especially since they had come here, grandiose and confident after thorough preparations, only to be utterly slapped in the face by reality.

It was a slap that resounded sharply and hurt profoundly.

No matter what, this incident was surely impossible to hide from the people in this Ancient City, and they had truly lost face!

The group of Emperors exchanged glances, each seeing embarrassment and disbelief in the other's eyes.

"Could these youngsters possibly have flown out of this city?" The Giant Spirit Emperor muttered angrily and then shot searching glances everywhere with divine light flashing in his eyes.

The Cold Ice Emperor said coldly, "They must possess some kind of dharma instrument that surpasses our understanding."

No matter what, Chu Mo had slipped away from under their watch, and before leaving, he had severely mocked them. These high-ranking Emperors, feeling disgraced, were also becoming increasingly anxious and worried.

One of the high-ranking Emperors spoke gravely, "The biggest problem now is to find these people as soon as possible."

The Cold Ice Emperor took a deep breath and slowly said, "They can't get away! To leave here, all cultivators from the Heavenly Realm must walk their entire heavenly road. These individuals are true Heavenly Geniuses in the Heavenly Realm, and they cannot complete their heavenly road without any breakthroughs!"

The Giant Spirit Emperor said, "Right, as long as we watch for anyone undergoing tribulation in this region, we will definitely be able to find them!"

This slightly alleviated the tension and discontent among the Emperors present.

At that moment, someone suddenly pointed towards a direction thousands of miles away and exclaimed, "Over there… tribulation clouds are gathering!"

All Emperors instantly turned their gaze in that direction.

Then, their first reaction was to tear through the void and go!
