Heaven Slaying Blade

Chapter 1409: Shock Retreat


Heavenly Ranking First!

Quasi-Saint level young cultivator. They were just talking about this person, and unexpectedly, in the blink of an eye, they heard this name from within Chu Mo.

Then, the four of them suddenly remembered, indeed, just before Chu Mo came up from the reincarnation abyss, Zi Dao indeed appeared on the reincarnation river, but disappeared in an instant, few even saw where Zi Dao appeared from. Could it be that before appearing, Zi Dao went to the reincarnation pool? Killed a reincarnation beast?

The more they thought about it, the colder they felt inside.

Zi Dao likes eating reincarnation beasts, a fact well-known throughout the Trial Field, almost all Heavenly Geniuses know. Moreover, Zi Dao's obsession with eating reincarnation beasts is said to be fanatic. Of course, there are also those who say Zi Dao eats reincarnation beasts to glean the secrets of reincarnation.

No matter what, Zi Dao's obsession with reincarnation beasts is absolutely true.

They have never heard of Zi Dao sharing anything about reincarnation beasts with anyone.

The young-looking supreme exclaimed in disbelief, "You say you have billions of top-grade crystals in your storage ring, let's assume that part is true, but you said Zi Dao gave you a piece of reincarnation beast meat... who are you trying to fool?"

"A frog in a well cannot discuss the ocean, a summer insect cannot discuss ice." Chu Mo said indifferently, then directly opened the storage ring.

Clattering!

Like a mountain, the crystals were directly poured out by Chu Mo. And rolled out with it was that piece of reincarnation beast meat, hundreds of feet in size!

The meat was exceptionally fresh, although time nearly stops inside the storage ring and it can remain fresh for countless years. But those present were very perceptive and could see at a glance that the meat was indeed very fresh! It still carried the overwhelming life essence of a reincarnation beast!

Cold breaths also wafted from it.

The pile of top-grade crystals, the gourmet's prime delicacy, and the reincarnation beast meat claimed to contain the secrets of reincarnation…

Along with the glinting, icy Cold Moon Blade.

All suspended in the void, seemingly within easy reach.

For these four, each of these three items held a fatal attraction.

But at this moment, not to mention the young supreme and that handsome-looking supreme, even the two supremes from Luotian Immortal Domain hesitated.

"This piece of reincarnation beast meat, did Zi Dao really give it to you? Do you know each other?" The man with the hooked nose stared coldly at Chu Mo.

"Don't know him." Chu Mo shook his head like a rattle-drum, "First time meeting him."

"How is that possible?" The man with the hooked nose scoffed coldly, his expression saying that you are lying, "You think I'm a fool?"

Chu Mo thought to himself: You are a fool! If I lie you believe it, if I speak the truth, you think I'm lying. If you aren't a fool then who is?

Indeed they are.

The other three also wore cold smirks.

The young supreme said with a mocking tone, "Do you think we are idiots? Zi Dao never shares reincarnation beast with anyone. If he doesn't know you, how could he possibly give you such a huge piece of reincarnation beast meat?"

The skinny man also scoffed, "Such a huge piece of reincarnation beast meat, worth at least ten billion top-grade crystals, you really think others are fools?"

The hooked-nose man took over, his cold eyes on Chu Mo, "Lin Hei, I didn't expect you to be not only courting death in various ways but also so heartless. You want to incite conflict between us and Zi Dao, then let Zi Dao annihilate us, right? You think we would fall for that?"

As he spoke, the hooked-nose man also glanced left and right, he was now genuinely suspicious that if they moved against Lin Hei, Zi Dao might suddenly appear.

Chu Mo wore an indifferent smile, "You're overestimating yourselves. With just you guys, you could be on par with Zi Dao... cough cough, I don't know him."

This turn of events was incredibly abrupt, even a bit forced. But the four people present actually all took it seriously.

In fact, Chu Mo didn't really say much, mostly it was their own "experience" making wild guesses!

In the end, the four men were suspicious and frightened themselves out of their minds.

It has to be said, the most clever lies are like this, eighty percent true, twenty percent false, but that twenty percent false is the most lethal!

Therefore—

The man with the hooked nose glared viciously at the Cold Moon Blade suspended in the void, the mountain of top-grade crystals, and that piece of meat that truly made them terrified enough to retreat…

"Let's go!" The hooked-nose man took a deep breath, then gritted his teeth and turned to leave.

This Lin Hei, the connections behind him are too deep, they were confident that they could kill this Quasi-Supreme on the spot here. They could even guarantee to completely seal this place, erasing all traces!

Being cultivators in the Supreme Realm, they still possess this capability.

But the problem is, when they left the reincarnation river, quite a few people saw them.

Just as Lin Hei left, they followed suit and departed as well. Should Zi Dao and the forces behind Lin Hei decide to investigate this matter, these four would become prime suspects!

Plus, with the glaring evidence of the Cold Moon Blade, it would be tough to deny!

The group of Supremes with hawk-nosed faces all displayed gloomy, utterly frustrated expressions.

It was rare for them to encounter what they thought was an easy target, only to find out it was a colossal crocodile.

The feeling was as if they were violated by a reincarnation beast!

So damn frustrating!

"This bastard!" The lean man rarely spoke. Being a realized Supreme, he usually managed to keep his emotions from showing. But at this moment, he couldn't help feeling the urge to curse, overwhelmed by frustration.

The youthful Supreme also looked dejected, while the implausibly handsome Supreme seemed as if he had lost all will to live.

With the Cold Moon Blade, they could sell it on the black market and each of the four Supremes could have split a hefty amount of resources! Not to mention those billions of top-grade crystals, and that flesh… Just thinking about it pained their hearts.

And it made their livers ache with anger!

In almost the blink of an eye, the four Supremes completely disappeared into the void.

Chu Mo finally took a deep breath, gathered all the things back into his storage ring, looked up at the void, and couldn't help but bitterly smile, "Who would have thought that one day I'd also use someone else's name to scare people."

Although it was a bit depressing, it indeed worked. Those four, entirely frightened by an imagined person, along with the concrete evidence of Zi Dao, retreated.

Otherwise, Chu Mo would have had to resort to unleashing his avatar and engage in a fight to the death with them.

Just like the other party's hesitations, Chu Mo also had his concerns. If these four individuals were nobodies, it would be nothing, but if any of them were of dignified status, he might soon be traced back.

"Sigh…" Chu Mo couldn't help but sigh. He now understood that no matter where one is, there are invisible rules binding everyone.

Achieving true freedom… is easier said than done!

After that, Chu Mo left the area and flew towards the nearest city indicated on the map.

As for the fifth danger zone, Chu Mo didn't want to go to such a place now. Maybe one day he would, but that would definitely be after he reached a more accomplished stage in his realm.

This time, there was no danger along the way, with the Heavenly Mirror alerting him, Chu Mo automatically avoided some dangerous creatures. Now was not the time to fight.

Eventually, he arrived at an Ancient City.

It was an unnamed city, a third larger than the previous city Chu Mo had visited.

The ancient wall bricks exuded an indescribable charm, having only a faint trace of Great Dao energy but intermingled with a slight resentment.

"Huh?" Chu Mo stared curiously at the ancient city walls, wondering how they could possibly harbor resentment. Could it be that beneath these walls, there had been too many killings? The grievances and resentment of the dead projected into the walls?

Just then, a cold voice came from a middle-aged stout man standing at the city gate, dressed in coarse clothes, barehanded, with eyes like copper bells, glaring at Chu Mo: "Pay to enter the city!"

"Huh?" Chu Mo was slightly startled, looking at the cultivators coming and going through the city gates: "Why don't they have to?"

The stout man grinned, showing his teeth: "Because they are all Supremes, and you are not."

"…" Chu Mo was speechless and looked up at the stout man: "Is this city yours?"

"No, but as long as I'm standing here, you can't enter." The stout man said proudly: "There are four gates to this city, all guarded by my brothers. For someone like you, who can only come into this city to work under someone, if you're sensible, just hand over five million top-grade crystals and get to work honestly. Let me tell you, two-thirds of the pubs, inns, and various shops in this city are ours! It'll take you about five years to make five million top-grade crystals with the essence energy concentration here being much stronger than your original region. So overall, you're making a profit."

The stout man looked at Chu Mo triumphantly, appearing as though Chu Mo was getting a huge bargain.

Chu Mo's mouth twitched, then he turned and walked away.

"Hey, kid, where are you going?" The stout man asked urgently, frowning.

"Supreme guarding the door and charging entry? I can't afford to enter this city, can't I just not come?" Chu Mo rolled his eyes. He wanted to find a city simply as a safe place to cultivate. In this Trial Field, the safest places were probably these cities.

But this city was so bizarre, showing not even a hint of friendliness towards a Quasi-Supreme. Chu Mo searched the Trial Field map in his divine sense sea, looking for the closest city.

The stout man, apparently having never seen such an arrogant Quasi-Supreme who just walked away without a word, stood shocked for a long moment before recovering his senses. Annoyed and embarrassed, he shouted: "Kid, did I say you could leave?"

Chu Mo didn't even look back, continuing to walk even faster!

This kind of conflict was utterly pointless!

Defeating this one would likely immediately bring out a whole swarm! That would be truly stirring up a hornets' nest.

"Hey hey hey, come back here!" The stout man, with his status being evident, teleporting instantly to Chu Mo's side, burst out angrily: "I've never seen someone as stingy as you, three million! How about that? Let you into the city for three million! Damn, I've never made such an offer before!"
