The next day, Chu Mo bade farewell to everyone without many words, as there weren't many people seeing him off. The operation this time was carried out in secret. The Blood Demon Ancestor surely had quite a few spies in the Heavenly Realm; a grand departure could have potentially alarmed the enemy.

A warship silently ascended into the sky, then burst into a dazzling light and vanished on the spot in an instant.

As the warship disappeared, Chu Qing's eyes welled with tears, and through her blurry vision, she looked in the direction where the warship had vanished, whispering softly, "You must come back; you must come back alive. The Chu Family needs you, we all need you!"

Hongyue gently embraced Chu Qing, softly saying, "Don't worry, he will come back alive."

The Imperial Master of Purple Smoke also said, "I believe he will definitely return alive!"

Chu Qing nodded, then added, "The Empress said his qi movement is very strong."

"Then there's even less to worry about, rest easy," Hongyue said quietly.

The warship silently traveled through the void at high speed, with Chu Mo standing next to the porthole, looking out at the dark and profound universe. Yue Qingcheng stood by his side in silence as well.

"Actually, you really shouldn't have come with me," Chu Mo said softly.

"Hehe, actually, I believe that everyone will definitely return safely from this trip," Yue Qingcheng revealed a rare mischievous smile, captivatingly beautiful.

Chu Mo was momentarily stunned by the sight.

Yue Qingcheng's face blushed, and then she said softly, "I've always believed that only through trials of blood and fire can one truly grow."

"But this kind of growth isn't what everyone wants," Chu Mo said lightly.

At that moment, the woman dressed as a village wife suddenly walked over from the side, laughing from afar, "I didn't interrupt your romantic talk, did I?"

Yue Qingcheng's face reddened, and she repeatedly waved her hands, pleading with her eyes at the woman.

Although their interaction was short, Yue Qingcheng already had a deep understanding of the woman's outspokenness and had certainly learned her lesson.

"Sister Min," Yue Qingcheng greeted the woman and then ran off as if fleeing.

Then, with a beaming smile, the woman looked at Chu Mo and said, "Qingcheng's quite good, isn't she?"

"..." Chu Mo, with a head full of black lines, looked at her and said, "If Sister Min has nothing else to do, you might as well rest and recover properly. Your injuries aren't completely healed, are they?"

The woman replied, "They healed a long time ago. With the essence of the Quasi-Saint elixir, what are these minor injuries?" Speaking with curiosity, she looked at Chu Mo, "Young Master, when will you marry the girl from the Shui Family? If you're not married, all these fair ladies by your side, they're actually not at ease in their hearts."

Chu Mo gave a wry smile, "Sister Min is joking, what confidantes do I have?"

"Hee, still trying to fool me?" The woman looked at Chu Mo with a knowing smile, "Should I count them for you?"

"Forget it, forget it, no need to count," Chu Mo said with a headache. He didn't understand how the ancestral land of the Chu Family could have nurtured such an array of eccentrics.

At this time, the old man with a smoking pipe slowly walked over and gave the woman a glare, "Girl, hurry back and heal your wounds, do you think this is a joke? Don't bother the Young Master."

Chu Mo quickly said, "It's fine, it's all good."

The woman spat out her tongue and then walked away with a giggle.

The old man with his smoking pipe came and stood shoulder to shoulder with Chu Mo, then said softly, "Young Master, don't blame your uncle."

"I don't," Chu Mo nodded, "I know they all have their taboos."

The old man nodded, "Young Master is understanding. Speaking of which, Second Old Master does actually care a lot about you."

"Yes, I'm aware. I can feel it from my sister," Chu Mo said.

The old man looked at Chu Mo and then said, "This time, when going to the Blood Demon Ancestor, the Young Master only needs to do one thing: find the last of the arrays and destroy it. For everything else, you need not worry. You just need to destroy that array and then immediately take off. I believe that with how much you've grown over the years, Young Master, your escaping skills can't be bad."

"And what about you all?" Chu Mo looked at the old man, "You mean to say, not only do you plan to hold back those two terrifying beings, but you also want to buy me time to escape?"

The old man's eyebrows twitched slightly as he said evenly, "This is what we should do."

"There is nothing that should be done. My life is not worth more than yours," Chu Mo stated.

"No, Young Master, your life is indeed worth much more than ours," the old man said, then sighed lightly, "It's not about status or identity, but because the Young Master still has a future to look forward to, whereas we... we don't have much of a future left. We've already reached the end of our cultivation path."

"No matter whose life it is, in my eyes, it's all the same," Chu Mo said earnestly.

The old man chuckled and then offered, "Since there's nothing else to do, if the Young Master doesn't mind, let me tell you stories about the old master. I heard these stories from my elders; they've been passed down from generation to generation and now to me."

"Your injury?" Chu Mo looked at the old man.

The old man took a puff from his smoking pipe and shook his head with a smile, "It's nothing, nothing at all!"

Chu Mo inwardly shook his head and sighed, noting the remarkable similarity among these people who had come from the ancestral land of the Chu Family.

Afterward, the old man began to tell Chu Mo the stories of the Chu Clan's past.

Many of the tales were new to Chu Mo, and he found them quite fascinating. The old man chatted with Chu Mo while puffing on his pipe. The warship silently glided through the pitch-black universe, continually navigating towards the unknown, leaving countless star domains far behind.

The location where the Blood Demon Ancestor was hiding was quite a distance from the Heavenly Realm. If it weren't for the precise cosmic coordinates they had prepared, it would hardly be possible to find.

And so, time passed, little by little.

Chu Mo and his companions have been gone from the Heavenly Realm for over ten days now.

The influence left by Xu Du's subjugation of demons in the Heavenly Realm has not completely dissipated, and countless people are still talking about it. They speak of the greatness of this young monk, and temples are being constructed all over the Heavenly Realm. Then, statues of Xu Du made of solid gold are being placed within these temples.

Many people are also talking about Chu Mo, thinking that this young master is truly an exemplary figure for all cultivators in the Cultivation Realm.

"To be a man like Xu Du, to have a son like Chu Mo!"

This has become the latest popular saying in the Heavenly Realm.

Of course, not everyone is satisfied with this saying.

The blood slaves and followers of the ancestral blood demons still present in the Heavenly Realm are very unhappy and also very anxious. Because the ancestral blood demons have ordered them to find Chu Mo at any cost and to kill him.

But so much time has passed without any word from Chu Mo again.

The Heavenly Realm is so vast that it is really not easy to find a single person. Not to mention that the Chu Clan now possesses an unshakable influence throughout the entire Heavenly Realm.

These people have always been those who shun the light. Now they need to live even more low-key. So, the task of finding Chu Mo and killing him is virtually impossible to complete.

That is to say, these blood slaves are in danger of being eradicated by the angry ancestral blood demons at any moment.

This is their greatest tragedy. Perhaps the Demon Clan will soon descend upon this world, dominating it. But for the blood slaves of the ancestral blood demons, their lives will not change at all.

It can only get worse.

Some could not help but want to commit suicide, but it was not possible at all.

The life and death of a blood slave is not under their own control.

Therefore, more and more blood slaves started heading towards the City of Heavenly Domain. They were not going to find Chu Mo, but to kill themselves.

As a result, a large number of blood slaves flocking to the City of Heavenly Domain has also become a major piece of news in the Heavenly Realm these days.

Because people gradually realized that these blood slaves were all going to the City of Heavenly Domain to commit suicide!

How terrifying the ancestral blood demons were!

Who could stop him?

This has become a topic of discussion throughout the entire Cultivation Realm.

Few knew that at this time, an unknown event had occurred at Lingdan Hall.

It was about Liu Yun.

The nine heads of Lingdan Hall each had a mountain, known to the outside world as the nine Lingshan Mountains of Lingdan Hall! Each mountain was named after the surname of the head family.

For example, the mountain where the head elder of Lingdan Hall entered seclusion is called Liuling Mountain.

Liuling Mountain is not very high, just a few hundred zhang, and from the outside, it looks rather ordinary, not exhibiting many unique features.

But in fact, this mountain is the end of a spirit vein stretching for fifteen million li!

Here, the spirit energy is the most abundant!

It is the Dragon Head.

The head elder has been in seclusion here for thousands of years, almost never concerned with worldly affairs. Only more than twenty years ago, he came out of seclusion once, suddenly took a wife, and had a pair of children.

These twins, the girl is Liu Yun, also known as Fairy Liuyun of Lingdan Hall; the boy is Liu Feng, also a figure amongst the young adults. Both belong to the young Heavenly Geniuses and are very excellent.

Although they are children of later years, the head elder didn't show too much care or affection for these twins.

Therefore, whether it is sister Liu Yun or brother Liu Feng, they don't actually have much affection for their father. Even less close than with Emperor Feng Chun.

Liu Yun and Liu Feng hardly have any impression of their own mother, and as to this, the explanation given by the elders of Lingdan Hall was that their mother had died in childbirth while giving birth to Liu Feng.

Liu Yun and Liu Feng both took this explanation for granted when they were children, and for this, Liu Feng blamed himself for many years, feeling that it was his existence that caused his mother's death, and he could hardly let it go.

However, as the siblings grew up and talked about their mother, they began to harbor strong doubts about this explanation.

Not to mention anything else, the woman their father married after suddenly leaving seclusion of thousands of years, should definitely not be an ordinary person.

At least she should also be a cultivator with decent cultivation skills, right? Then, how could a cultivator die from childbirth complications? This in itself is a huge joke.

Cultivators practice to strengthen their own bodies, which cultivator does not have thorough control of their own body? How could they possibly die from complications in childbirth?

Moreover, what place is Lingdan Hall? It is the largest elixir merchant in the entire Cultivation Realm! There are countless reputed physicians, among which the head elder is outstanding.

The wife of Lingdan Hall's head elder actually died from childbirth complications? If such a story spreads, not only will no one believe it, but they would also laugh their heads off.

But no matter how Liu Yun and Liu Feng, the brother and sister, pressed for answers, what they got was always the same.
