Family head Shui Hong'an and a group of Shui Family elders entertaining guests were the most distressed, all bearing immense pressure. Although they harbored resentment towards Chu Mo, far greater was their intense hatred for the Shui Family junior who had posted about this incident on the message board! Inside, they were cursing up a storm, and they decided that once this matter concluded, they would certainly need to put things in order. From now on, if anyone dared to recklessly spread word of things that were not evident, they'd be severely punished!

At this moment, these people of the Shui Family still hadn't considered the possibility that someone might ambush Chu Mo. You really couldn't blame these people; Chu Mo's fame was too great now, and the signs of the Chu Clan's rise were too obvious. Who would dare to make a move against Chu Mo at a time like this?

Yiyi had been keeping her composure, lazing around in her own room. She believed that Chu Mo was not a person to go back on his word. As long as he said he would come, he definitely would!

Out of boredom, Yiyi picked up the message board and casually started reading. The discussion section on the message board was colorful, brimming with messages. It was relaxing to glance through during her leisure time. If one settled down and searched carefully, they could find a lot of useful information.

Yiyi had always liked finding various messages on the message board, and she was also very skilled at analyzing the things behind those messages.

In the discussion section of the message board, topics about Chu Mo were still the hottest, with almost every message about Chu Mo followed by a large number of replies. There were all kinds of comments.

While reading, Yiyi's heart skipped a beat. She suddenly stood up, looking somewhat pale as she walked outside.

She made it from the back house to the front hall in an instant. In the family, using magic to "flicker here and there" was actually taboo, as it could be seen as lacking dignity, especially since she had just become a new elder of the Shui Family. But at this moment, she couldn't care less.

As soon as Yiyi appeared, the outside immediately became restless. Those "neighbors" who were hanging around and refusing to leave not only wanted to see Chu Mo, but they also wanted to see Yiyi! They wanted to see what the love between this princess of the Shui Family and Chu Mo was really like!

If these two joined together, it would be a grand event in the entire Heavenly Realm's Cultivation Realm!

The people on the Shui Family side all perked up, looking at Yiyi and wondering if Chu Mo was finally coming. Had he contacted Yiyi privately?

Many people fantasized, looking at Yiyi with eyes that turned somewhat suggestive.

However, Yiyi walked straight to the Elder Group, ignoring the various gazes of the crowd. She seemed rather aloof. Some people felt a bit uncomfortable in their hearts.

"I greet the Sixth Elder," Yiyi said with a bow to an elder.

"Yiyi... Elder," the elder was slightly startled: "What's the matter?"

Although Yiyi had now become an elder of the Shui Family, holding a status on par with the other elders, she was still directly related to most of these elders, so it was a bit of an adjustment for a while.

Sixth Elder Shui Hongxu, a lord of the Ninth Heaven, was specifically in charge of the Shui Family's intelligence and information.

Yiyi asked with a solemn face, "Sixth Elder, have you received any special movement from the direction of Tianya Mountain today?"

"Tianya Mountain? Special movement?" Shui Hongxu was not a fool, there were just some things he hadn't thought of. Prompted by Yiyi's question, he also immediately tensed up, his eyebrows instantly furrowing as he couldn't help but say softly, "That place... easy to defend, hard to attack, suitable for an ambush!"

Yiyi's eyebrows arched as she looked at the Sixth Elder.

"Don't worry, Elder Yiyi, let me ask," said the Sixth Elder, and he directly activated a communication stone, asking in a low voice, "Any anomalies in the direction of Tianya Mountain today?"

At this moment, the other elders of the Shui Family and the family head Shui Hong'an also all put away some of their agitated thoughts and calmed down.

An elder frowned and said, "At such a time, surely no one would have the guts to make a move against Chu Mo, right?"

Another elder shook his head, "Overlooking this possibility was our responsibility! What is there to fear? Although the number of people in the Cultivation Realm who are unafraid of death is not particularly high, it is certainly not low either."

"Wasn't there someone who attempted to assassinate Chu Mo on the heavenly road before? A group of killers?" Another elder took over the conversation.

At this, even some of the family elites who had come to gather for the excitement couldn't help but become alert.

Just then, from the transmission stone of the Sixth Elder, came a voice tinged with a trace of panic, "Sixth Elder... there is indeed movement over there!"

Whoosh!

The previously somewhat noisy front hall fell instantly silent.

Those present were the high-level members of the Shui Family, heads and leaders of neighboring families and sects, various elders, as well as the outstanding legitimate descendants of the Shui Family and the most exceptional young generation from those families and sects. The older generation sat together and the younger one gathered among themselves, all of them chatting idly.

Many had criticisms in their hearts about Chu Mo's tardiness, feeling that although he was a young titan, his airs were a bit too grand.

But in that moment, everyone fell quiet.

It could be said that no one sitting there was a fool. With just one sentence, they could analyze a multitude of messages.

A look of solemnity appeared on everyone's faces; Tianya Mountain was... not just a little far from here. It would take them several days to reach it with their speed, and that was if they were to give it their all. Such a desperate rush would drain them considerably.

Thus, under normal circumstances, very few would venture there, but their understanding of the area was not lacking.

The Sixth Elder held the transmission stone, which felt incredibly heavy in his hand, and his facial expression was very ugly. Then, without waiting for further information from the other side, he turned off the transmission stone directly.

Initially, they thought the arrival of Chu Mo might cause the Shui Family to lose a great deal of face. But now, Chu Mo had not yet arrived, and the Shui Family's face had already been lost.

He was in charge of the family's intelligence and information, but there was trouble at Tianya Mountain and the people below hadn't reported it? They were utterly incompetent! Sixth Elder Shui Hongxu's heart was already bursting with anger, and at the same time, he guessed that it must have been because someone in the family had prematurely posted the news of Chu Mo's visit on the message board, drawing the enemy's attention... This was truly aggravating!

He would have to rectify this later on! From top to bottom, anyone even slightly negligent in their duty must be severely punished! But that was a matter for later. The pressing issue was to urgently resolve the current situation and find Chu Mo!

Shui Hongxu took a deep breath and turned to Yiyi, "I will send someone immediately..."

Just at that moment, a burst of exclamations came from outside.

Even more people were gathering on the plaza out front.

Hearing the shouts, the people in the front hall stood up as one and headed outside.

When everyone had come out, they saw on the brightly lit plaza, a young man with hair like a waterfall and blood energy like a dragon, clad in a green robe, walking slowly and gracefully towards them.

Seeing the group from the front hall coming out, the young man cupped his fists from afar, "I apologize, ladies and gentlemen, for my late arrival."

At that moment, the hourglass used by the Shui Family to keep time had just run out of its last grain of sand.

The day had passed!
