The person inside did not roll out; instead, a large hand reached out and directly grabbed him inside.

Shan Fusheng was in a state of complete bewilderment, with a big "dazed" written all over his face. Then he saw a young man with an ordinary appearance sitting there, coldly looking at him. The young man seemed to carry an unimaginable sense of oppression, making it hard for Shan to catch his breath, his legs going weak, wanting to kneel before the youth.

"Who... who are you? Do you know who I am?" Shan Fusheng felt somewhat embarrassed, as he had never left Divine Pill City in his life, nor had he ever entered the Illusory God Realm. All his knowledge was of this city, of all the cultivators within it.

For a long time, the identity of a servant of the Divine Pill Emperor's family was his greatest weapon. As long as he revealed this status, no matter how forceful the other party, even if it was a true immortal, they would immediately lose their vigor!

After barking out this sentence, Shan Fusheng felt his courage swell a bit, and he looked coldly at Chu Mo, continuing to shout, "I am a member of the Divine Pill Emperor's family..."

"Was it you who killed the innkeeper?" Chu Mo looked at Shan Fusheng and asked indifferently.

"You..." Shan Fusheng had just uttered the word when he felt a slight chill in his arm, followed by... he couldn't help but let out a sharp and piercing scream, "My... my arm!"

He didn't even see how his arm had fallen off!

Nor did he feel anything at all!

His arm just fell to the ground like that.

Blood gushed out from where the shoulder was severed.

"Was it you who killed the innkeeper?"

As Shan Fusheng's inner terror intensified, that voice rang out again.

"What exactly..."

Shan Fusheng managed to say three words this time.

Then, his remaining arm also fell to the ground.

"Ah!" He let out a wretched scream.

Pain was only one aspect. More importantly, there was fear!

An endless fear!

Although he was not considered a top-tier cultivator, he was still a Heavenly Immortal! The other party had severed his arms without him even seeing how it was done! What realm must this ordinary-looking young man be in?

"Was it you who killed the innkeeper?"

The cold voice came from the ordinary youth for the third time.

"Yes, yes, it was me... it was me who killed him..." Fear was endless in Shan Fusheng's eyes, his voice carrying a strong sob. He was truly terrified.

"Why did you kill him?"

"He, he defied me..." Shan Fusheng stammered in reply.

"Now you have also defied me."

Shan Fusheng collapsed to the ground with a thud, "Please don't kill me... don't kill me, I dare not defy you... I wouldn't dare, not even if it killed me!"

"Good, I'll ask, you answer. Lie in a single word, and you die."

"I understand, you ask... please ask, I wouldn't dare to lie." Shan Fusheng trembled as he knelt there, knowing that this time he had truly kicked an iron plate. At this moment, he did not even dare to harbor a thought of revenge.

Not even the slightest bit... I wouldn't dare!

"Who were the people who came?" Chu Mo asked.

"I... I don't know, sir, I wouldn't lie to you. Our status doesn't qualify us to know the identities of such important figures!" Shan Fusheng barely got out an 'I don't know' when he felt a chill over his body, was scared out of his wits, and hurriedly added, "However, it is said that they seem to be a group of people from the Qin family."

"The Qin family?"

"This lowly one is also unclear which Qin family..." Shan Fusheng's face was filled with grievances. He had grown up in Divine Pill City since birth and all his experiences stemmed from the city itself. Although he occasionally heard outside rumors, he felt they were too far removed from him to pay careful attention.

"How many of them came?" Chu Mo asked again.

"There were about three hundred of them altogether, and they stayed in the inns of the city. Originally, the head of our family wanted them to stay with our clan. However, they refused," Shan Fusheng said cautiously.

"The Qin family..." Chu Mo quietly repeated, then extended a finger, sending a beam of light directly into Shan Fusheng's head.

Shan Fusheng's body went limp, and he fell to the ground, silently dying.

In the moment before his death, he didn't even know he was about to die. His eyes still held a fearful expression.

"You shouldn't take life so lightly. Because others can do the same to you," Chu Mo said, standing up and walking out.

He couldn't stay in this inn any longer; a death had occurred, and it was only a matter of time before it alerted others. Besides, Chu Mo wanted to see just how substantial this so-called group from the Qin family was.

The Qin family?

In the Heavenly Realm, Chu Mo knew of two Qin families, and he held no good impressions of either.

If they were from Qin Shi's family, well, for her sake, he wouldn't make a fuss. But if it was the other Qin family... then apologies. Your bad luck to cross paths with me!

At the same time, there was also the family of the Divine Pill Emperor, old and new grudges, all retribution, let us settle them together!

Right now, over thirteen hundred miles away from Divine Pill City within the ancestral lands of the Divine Pill Emperor's family, a grand banquet was being held.

It had been many years since the ancestral lands of the Divine Pill Emperor had seen such liveliness.

Even the current family head personally came out to accompany an old man, sitting at the highest place, watching a group of beautiful women performing songs and dances.

"Brother Qin Shi, please!" Shan Zhi, the contemporary head of the Divine Pill Emperor's family, raised his wine cup with a smile, gesturing to the old man beside him.

The old man smiled faintly, lifting his wine cup, then said with some emotion, "Brother Shan Zhi, it's been many years since we last met, hasn't it?"

Shan Zhi thought for a moment, then earnestly replied, "Hmm, it must have been over three thousand years since we last saw each other. Truly, time flows like water."

"Yes, indeed. Over three thousand years is not a short time in the Cultivation Realm," the old man reflected. His name was Qin Guangyuan, an elder of the Qin family, whose strength was infinitely close to the Supreme Realm. In the entire Heavenly Realm, few could catch his eye. He and Shan Zhi had been friends since childhood.

Nowadays, the reputation of the Qin family in the Heavenly Realm was utterly spoiled, colluding with the Demon Clan, falling to demonization, acting against the great Chu Clan lineage... Such bad reputations spread like a tide. Although the group sent by the Qin family to fight wars was incomparably strong, they couldn't withstand the wrath of the entire Heavenly Realm.

Upon receiving instructions from Qin Cang, they had no choice but to temporarily retreat from the limelight.

"Hehe, but Brother Qin Shi, you still look so young and vigorous," Shan Zhi laughed heartily, drinking the wine in his cup.

Qin Guangyuan smiled, looking at Shan Zhi with mixed feelings, "On our journey here, we passed many places. We also encountered quite a few old acquaintances. Yet, not one dared to provide us shelter. The world's coldness and the shallowness of human relationships couldn't be more evident. It's only Brother Shan Zhi's righteousness and warm hospitality that remain... Rest assured, this kindness, I, Qin Guangyuan, will never forget!"

Having said this, Qin Guangyuan also drained his cup of wine.

Shan Zhi laughed and said, "I've known Brother Qin Shi from childhood, a friend for many years, how could I ignore a friend in need? That's one reason; the second is that we, the family of the Divine Pill Emperor, bear no good impressions of the Chu Clan lineage, parading around as guardians of the Yanhuang region, arrogantly domineering. As for Chu Mo, we find him particularly disagreeable, a young man who doesn't know the meaning of restraint, bound to meet his doom sooner or later."
