The elderly cultivator facing Yue Qingcheng felt a shiver and disbelief flashed in his eyes.

Just then, Yue Qingcheng thrust her sword forward. This thrust shone brightly, as Yue Qingcheng seized this fleeting opportunity to focus all her strength into this one attack!

The elderly cultivator, in great shock, attempted to retreat. A massive amount of law energy burst from his body, trying to merge into the void.

But it was too late!

For Yue Qingcheng, this strike was an all-or-nothing attack!

Should it fail, she would be left completely vulnerable. Then, the elderly cultivator could easily take her life with a single strike.

But this was what trust meant!

The moment Yue Qingcheng saw Chu Mo return, she already knew... her side had won!

In that instant, her spirits soared. Without needing to consider any consequence, she concentrated all her power... into this single sword thrust!

Therefore, the elderly cultivator had no retreat.

Pff!

The sword punctured directly through the elderly cultivator's chest, piercing through his body as a true immortal at the pinnacle.

Then, Yue Qingcheng twisted her wrist—

"Ah!"

The elderly cultivator let out a earth-shattering scream. His powerful heart as a true immortal could not withstand such an attack and was directly crushed.

At that moment, the elderly cultivator tried to raise his hand to attack Yue Qingcheng, seeking mutual destruction. But how could Yue Qingcheng give him that chance? Another sword appeared in her other hand, instantly glowing cold, and with a horizontal swipe, the elderly cultivator's head flew off.

The blood of a true immortal shot up into the sky.

The bright red blood spattered across the sky, incomparably stark.

"Brother!"

Another elderly cultivator fighting Hu Lie let out a mournful cry, attempting to rush over and kill Yue Qingcheng.

Hu Lie roared loudly and threw a fierce punch, landing on the elderly cultivator's body.

The elderly cultivator at the pinnacle of true immortality spat out a great mouthful of fresh blood, his body staggering in the void. Hu Lie followed up with another punch, directly piercing through the elderly cultivator's chest!

By this time, Hu Lie's body was covered in numerous wounds. Blood had nearly soaked half his body red. The cultivator he faced was even stronger than the other.

But nevertheless, the last man standing was him, Hu Lie!

By the time Chu Mo arrived, the two Bu Family true immortal cultivators had been slain by the two.

"Well done!" Chu Mo's face showed a look of delight; he had thought he would need to help. Unexpectedly, the two had given him a huge surprise.

Though these two Bu Family true immortal cultivators were influenced by his return, for Yue Qingcheng and Hu Lie, managing to kill these two was definitely a great victory, a classic case of the weak overcoming the strong.

"Seeing you come back revives my spirits greatly while they're severely drained," Hu Lie grinned as he spoke. However, he couldn't help but grimace the next moment, as the wounds on his body began to torture him, making him feel pain.

Yue Qingcheng also had several injuries on her body, but they were not severe. It wasn't that her opponents took pity on her, rather it was because of her ethereal and nimble movements which made it difficult for her to be hit. Hu Lie, on the other hand, fought with broad and powerful moves, choosing a confrontational combat style. This kind of fighting, when at a disadvantage, inevitably led to more injuries.

Chu Mo took out Healing Pills from his possession and distributed them to the two. Without waiting for them to ask, he took the initiative and said, "Those three people are all dead."

Hu Lie gasped in surprise, somewhat unbelieving as he looked at Chu Mo, "How did you manage that?"

Yue Qingcheng also looked at Chu Mo with a shocked face, "I heard from that man just now, among the three chasing you, there was an Emperor Realm cultivator?"

Chu Mo nodded, "Yes, there was one at the first level of the Emperor Realm, but they are all dealt with. I got injured too, and it's not light. I'll need some time to recover."

Hu Lie's mouth twitched and his eyelids jumped repeatedly as he listened to Chu Mo's understated manner, feeling incredible, and sighed, "Facing three, including an Emperor, even if it's just the first level... It's still an Emperor! You actually just got wounded and managed to kill all of them without any help. This combat power... is terrifying."

Yue Qingcheng also found it hard to believe. If Chu Mo had been a true immortal it would still be understandable, but Chu Mo was still at the Heavenly Immortal level.

Such a feat was simply defying the heavens. If it spread, probably no one would believe it to be true.

Hu Lie didn't ask Chu Mo any further how he did it; his previous question had been more of an instinctive one. Everyone has their own secrets, his brother... perhaps even more.

This battle today further solidified Hu Lie's determination to follow Chu Mo to the true end of the heavenly road and attain enlightenment.

As for Yue Qingcheng, she just felt lucky!

Thinking back to that day at the entrance of Heavenly Dao Garden, Zhao Dongming, a follower of Long Qiushui, pulled out a Heavenly Dao Garden gold card, proudly declaring that anyone who would serve as his maid, attending to his needs, would be taken into Heavenly Dao Garden.

Yue Qingcheng even felt as if it was another lifetime.

At that moment, she had truly been tempted. It was just being a maid for a while; although Zhao Dongming was not as esteemed as Long Qiushui, he was genuinely a favored son of heaven. Serving him wouldn't be a disgrace. Who would have thought Zhao Dongming would turn out to be such a detestable person, using the Heavenly Dao Garden gold card as nothing more than a means to flaunt and mock others.

Saying 'I am a wretch' three times... Yue Qingcheng really couldn't bring herself to say it. Although she agreed at the moment, she just couldn't get over that internal barrier no matter what.

Why should one suffer such humiliation just because someone else has a more prestigious status? Did that give anyone the right to humiliate others at will?

At the crucial moment, it was Chu Mo who stood up, not only preserving her last shreds of dignity but also giving her an unimaginable great opportunity!

Meditating under the Tree of Heavenly Dao allowed her to step into the true immortal level, and the two true immortal elixirs she received enabled her to break through to the pinnacle of true immortality!

Taking this path, she was likely to become a genuine empress!

There are countless female cultivators in the Heavenly Realm, but true empresses... are extremely rare!

Like Empress Purple Smoke, such an extraordinary woman probably wouldn't appear once in a thousand years.

Now, she, Yue Qingcheng, actually had the chance to be considered on par with Empress Purple Smoke. The gratitude Yue Qingcheng felt for Chu Mo had reached an indescribable level. She wasn't particularly good at expressing herself verbally, finding it hard to articulate her gratitude, but in her heart... she had already silently vowed: in this life, she would always follow this man. No matter how high her achievements may reach or how far her future might extend, in front of this man, she, Yue Qingcheng, would always be his follower!

Although the three of them were all wounded, they did not continue to stay in this place but instead healed while they progressed on their way.

Because staying here might not be safe.

Several days later, the three of them had already traveled a vast distance on this heavenly road. How far exactly, even they themselves were somewhat unclear.

Along the way, the three encountered some cultivators. Some of them kindly warned not to continue straight ahead but advised them to take a detour, as there were people blocking the way not allowing others to pass.

"A thousand miles ahead on a great mountain, a Quasi-Saint herb was discovered, many young lords are at a standoff there, while their subordinates have completely blocked off the road. No one is allowed to pass through that area anymore."
