Chu Qing looked at Chu Mo, "Sister doesn't want you to be in danger, nor does she want you to recklessly reveal your true strength."

Chu Mo grinned, "Don't worry, I have plenty of tricks up my sleeve, and soon... I will become very powerful. True powerhouses don't need hidden strengths."

The two were conversing when Yiyi, Hu Lie, and Yue Qingcheng all watched intently.

After their telepathic conversation ended, Yiyi looked at Chu Mo earnestly, "Later... let's strike together."

Her thoughts were the same as Chu Qing's!

They both didn't want Chu Mo to face Qin Xiaotian alone because they knew how terrifying Qin Xiaotian was.

A cultivator, who had not entered the Emperor Realm, facing off against someone in the sixth layer of the Emperor Realm, and being capable of injuring him within a hundred moves—such a feat sounded unbelievable!

Even if he possessed many supreme weapons, producing such a battle outcome was still considered unbelievable.

Switch to a true immortal realm cultivator, and they would likely be suppressed in a single move.

Chu Mo looked at Yiyi and shook his head slightly.

Yiyi sighed softly, "In that case, the one billion in compensation... I will pay it for you!"

Chu Mo couldn't help but look at her, "Are you sure I'm going to lose?"

"If it were anyone else, even Huang Wushuang or Lu Hongxue, I wouldn't be so certain. But this person... really has no chance." Yiyi helplessly looked at Chu Mo, "You don't understand, he is truly dreadful. And it's unfortunate, how did we encounter him here?"

Chu Qing said indifferently, "Perhaps, he and the owner here were already in cahoots."

Their conversation wasn't transmitted telepathically. Although their voices were low, if anyone was intent on listening, they could hear.

However, Qin Xiaotian showed no reaction at all.

After Chu Qing spoke, she glanced outside and saw no responses, which she found somewhat odd.

Chu Mo smiled, "Don't worry, I have already set up a barrier."

Chu Qing and Yiyi were both slightly startled; they hadn't noticed when Chu Mo had done it. Moreover, the tavern's owner was clearly no ordinary cultivator, with impenetrable and profound cultivation.

The fact that the tavern owner didn't respond to what Chu Qing said, which was somewhat taboo, was proof enough that the barrier Chu Mo had unconsciously set up was probably even impermeable to an emperor... their divine sense couldn't penetrate it.

Chu Mo didn't explain much, not just emperors? When the Cosmic Mirror and the Chaos Furnace were both exerted, the barrier set up could make even a supreme struggle to eavesdrop using some methods!

"So that's it... I should have known I didn't need to use telepathy just now." Chu Qing relaxed, regretting the impulsive words she blurted out in her righteous indignation, but fortunately, her little brother was well-prepared.

Thinking this, Chu Qing glanced at Chu Mo and said with a smile, "I didn't expect you to be quite clever."

Chu Mo looked at Chu Qing with a speechless expression, thinking to himself, 'Are you praising me or criticizing me? This kind of precaution is something even a common noble in the Mortal Realm would have, right?'

Doesn't everyone understand that walls have ears?

Yiyi looked at Chu Qing, "You just informed him about Qin Xiaotian?"

Chu Qing nodded, "Yes."

Yiyi looked at Chu Mo, "You know all about it? And you still decide to fight him? And here?"

Chu Mo smiled, "Isn't it said that whoever loses, compensates? Swindling a billion top-grade Heavenly Crystals from such an arrogant person isn't too much, right?"

Yiyi looked at Chu Mo with a face full of speechlessness and muttered, "You'd have to be able to swindle him first!"

Chu Mo laughed, "Whether it's a trap or not, we'll know soon."

In a place like this, moving around during a fight was nearly impossible. Even if one didn't mind destroying the tavern, it wouldn't be as easy to wield powers as in an open field.

Thus, the battle between them could likely have a victor in an instant.

Let alone outsiders, even Chu Qing and Yiyi found it hard to understand where Chu Mo's confidence came from. Why did he believe he could defeat Qin Xiaotian, who even supreme figures in the Emperor Realm feared?

However, both Hu Lie and Yue Qingcheng remained cautiously silent, exchanging glances. They had absolute confidence in Chu Mo.

This was because in a previous battle, Chu Mo had faced three opponents by himself, including a significant figure from the Emperor Realm. In the end, Chu Mo returned unscathed while all three of them disappeared!

Thus, they might not know exactly how powerful Qin Xiaotian was, but they definitely knew Chu Mo's capabilities.

By now, everyone in the tavern had heard about the imminent confrontation and who it involved, and excitement erupted among them.

In fact, whenever the heavenly road opened, Hanging City would become bustling as a large number of cultivators gathered. Conflicts were nothing unusual, and people seemed used to it. But today's conflict was different.

The disputants included the recently famous Chu Mo and the long-renowned Chu Qing and Yiyi.

The opposing side was less known. Many cultivators left the tavern, not wanting to be collateral damage, and quickly started discussing on the street.

"Who is Qin Xiaotian? I've never heard of him."

"Yeah, me neither, but I heard he arrogantly smashed the doors of Chu Mo's room saying that Yiyi and Chu Qing would become his partners!"

"Don't spread rumors. I've heard of him. Even young masters fear him."

"Really? Young masters fear him? Such a person exists?"

"This name is also a taboo topic among top cultivators… Don't speculate, let's just see it unfold."

"I heard they've placed a wager? Whoever loses will compensate the tavern owner with one billion top-grade Heavenly Crystals?"

"Really?"

The crowd gasped in astonishment, finding it hard to believe.

"In that case, doesn't the tavern owner make a fortune? After all, no matter what, he's the one who gains the most!"

"Chu Mo is incredibly wealthy... that five billion top-grade Heavenly Crystals wager back at the Heavenly Dao Garden was absolutely staggering!"

"Heh, Chu Mo has Lingdan Hall backing him. He's not like us ordinary folks."

The crowd on the street grew as the news spread quickly. Even young masters like Long Qiushui soon heard of it.

"Qin Xiaotian?" Long Qiushui's expression changed slightly, his eyes filled with wariness. Then, he couldn't help but laugh, "I can't believe that Chu Mo, oblivious to the danger, has meddled with him. Hahaha... Let's see how he dies now!"

When Lu Hongxue heard the news, she frowned and said to Xuan'er and Xuanxuan, "This could be troublesome."

Xuan'er and Xuanxuan also furrowed their brows. Xuan'er said, "Let's go take a look. Regardless, we should help Young Master Chu."

"That despicable man is the worst!" Xuanxuan added.

Lu Hongxue nodded, "Let's go, and see for ourselves."

Thus, a large number of cultivators started to gather towards the tavern.

Meanwhile, Qin Xiaotian's followers finally arrived, bringing with them a storage bag full of top-grade Heavenly Crystals.
