Not only were they dumbfounded, but they completely broke down!

Their Saint Patriarch died just like that? Was annihilated by an unknown young man with a single strike?

Countless disciples of the Haoyue Sect stood there, dumbstruck like wooden chickens; even those in the Supreme Realm had completely lost the ability to think. They even doubted, wondering if they saw it wrong? Was it not their Saint Patriarch who died, but the opponent? Could the Saint Patriarch reappear the next moment?

Although Zi Dao and Yunfeng were alerted by Chu Mo beforehand, at this moment, they too were somewhat dazed. As for the bald chef and Lin Xiu, their reactions were almost the same as the other Haoyue Sect disciples, completely stupefied. A look of cluelessness on their faces.

How could their god-like Saint Patriarch be killed just like that? This must be an illusion!

Chu Mo felt the strength in his body being drained in an instant, yet Heaven Slaying still erupted with boundless murderous aura, as if, slaying a saint and drinking the blood of a Saint Realm cultivator was not enough to satisfy its appetite.

The murderous aura shot into the sky, chilling to the bone.

Fortunately, this state of Heaven Slaying only lasted for a moment, then it whooshed into the Azure Sky Mirror.

Chu Mo's body went limp, and he nearly fell from the sky.

To him, killing a Saint Realm cultivator was no different than killing a cultivator in the Great Saint Realm; both exhausted all his strength. Of course, if the Haoyue Sect ancestor were a powerhouse in the Great Saint Realm, his loss would surely be greater.

Zi Dao swiftly moved and caught Chu Mo, then shouted in a low voice, "Run!"

Yunfeng also finally snapped out of it, pulling the bewildered Lin Xiu and the bald chef, frantically fleeing towards the distance.

At this time, the people from the Haoyue Sect also seemed to have come to their senses, although in their hearts, they still couldn't accept the reality of the Saint Patriarch's death. But seeing the few figures fleeing in the distance, they understood everything.

Their Saint Patriarch—had fallen!

"Pursue!" The Sect Master of Haoyue Sect was almost insane, although he had been heavily injured before, now in his mind only one thought remained: at all costs, those people must be retained. Otherwise, a drastic change would occur throughout the Tian Gang Domain!

A sect with a saint at the helm versus a sect without, could they be the same?

In these years, relying on the Saint Patriarch, Haoyue Sect has forcibly suppressed and dominated the entire Tian Gang Domain, offending many powers and invoking numerous enemies. This news could not be contained and those wronged would certainly start settling scores.

Therefore, at all costs, the killers must be detained. That would still have a strong deterrent effect.

It would notify the powers of the Tian Gang Domain: our Haoyue Sect… is still overwhelmingly powerful! Although the Saint Patriarch has fallen, we have captured or killed the murderer!

Thus, at all costs, those people cannot be allowed to escape!

Regrettably, there weren't many people who had this realization. Most of the Supreme Realm cultivators of Haoyue Sect, upon hearing this command, turned to look towards the Sect Master, their eyes filled with shock, fear, and confusion.

A highly ranked Supreme even couldn't help but ask aloud: "Pursue?"

Though it was just one word, it contained too many emotions. The most prevalent emotion was: The Saint Patriarch at the Saint Realm was chopped down by someone else, you want us to pursue? Isn't that sending us to our deaths?

"Watch clearly, that person... must have used some kind of forbidden art, he is already somewhat incapacitated now! What are you all afraid of with so many people? Chase him, capture him, kill him. Anyway, we cannot let him escape. Anyone who dares not comply will be expelled from the sect!" The Sect Master of Haoyue Sect was almost driven mad, spitting out a mouthful of fresh blood.

The death of the Saint Patriarch was like a bolt from the blue for him, a massive blow!

He didn't have much affection for the Saint Patriarch, and was clearly aware of the Patriarch's coldheartedness. But that didn't matter, what was critical was having such a "deity" anchoring the sect, ensuring the sect's prosperity and averting any disaster!

So, after issuing this deadly command, the Sect Master of Haoyue Sect took out a handful of Healing Pills and swallowed them directly, then took out a Supreme elixir from his body. Suppressing it with supreme power, he chewed it crunchingly!

To restore some combat power, he was already desperate.

Many disciples of Haoyue Sect, upon hearing this command, shuddered in their hearts, realizing the Sect Master was truly furious. All of them steeled themselves and chased toward the direction of Zi Dao and Chu Mo's group.

The Sect Master of Haoyue Sect also followed closely, his eyes were blood-red, filled with endless murderous intent.

Zi Dao carrying Chu Mo, Yunfeng carrying Lin Xiu and dragging the bald chef. They sprinted at full speed, elevating their pace to the utmost. Both of them had many dharma instruments on them, at this moment, they could not care less about sparing them, continuously launching them towards the pursuers in the distance then directly blowing up the dharma instruments.

Every exploded dharma instrument caused immense damage, even a Quasi-Saint like the Sect Master of Haoyue Sect dared not get too close. Afterward, Zi Dao also launched his second primordial spirit and set up an Array Formation in the void.

At this moment, the rich combat experience of these two Heavenly Geniuses, who could rank within the top ten in the Trial Field of Heavenly Ranking, finally came into full display.

Although the pursuers were numerous and also driven blind by rage, they were forcefully kept at bay, unable to get close to them!

Although the situation was extremely critical, these two became increasingly excited, feeling a sense of dominance over the battlefield!

On the run, the bald chef and Lin Xiu gradually regained their senses after the initial confusion and panic, actively joining the battle for survival. Although the dharma instruments they carried were not very powerful, they still had some effect. Moreover, after they came to their senses, Liu Yunfeng felt a significant reduction in pressure. Their speed of escape became faster.

Chu Mo was in an extremely exhausted state, but he was also slowly operating his cultivation technique, desperately recovering his physical strength. At the same time, he continuously consumed a large amount of elixirs, rapidly regaining his power.

The reason why using such a desperate measure is dangerous mainly lies in the fact that the moment after it is executed, he becomes incredibly weak. Even those much lower in realm than him could severely injure him.

But with Zi Dao and Liu Yunfeng desperately protecting him, Chu Mo's recovery was considerably fast.

Once, when this group of people reached the entrance of the Trial Field, Chu Mo's realm had recovered by about half. At least, he could move independently without Zi Dao's assistance.

"I can manage on my own now," Chu Mo said.

Zi Dao asked, "Really can manage?"

"I can!" Chu Mo replied. "Let go of me."

Following which Zi Dao released Chu Mo and found that Chu Mo's aura had indeed grown stronger.

"Don't stop, don't waste words with them, just charge in!" Chu Mo said calmly: "Once we're in the Trial Field, that's our territory!"

Zi Dao and Liu Yunfeng knew more about the Trial Field than Chu Mo. Hearing this, they all rushed into it without hesitation.

Liu Yunfeng, leading Lin Xiu and the bald chef, charged in first, followed by Chu Mo and Zi Dao plunging into the Trial Field.

The leader of the Haoyue Sect in the distance spat out a mouthful of fresh blood. Several Quasi-Saint elders beside him all looked towards him.

The leader of the Haoyue Sect gritted his teeth and said, "Chase them! If we don't kill them, we're doomed!"

The elders of the Haoyue Sect also understood this reasoning and directly pursued them towards the entrance.

Ordinarily, there should have been guards here since the Trial Field isn't a place anyone can enter at will. But now the guards had been killed by Chu Mo and his group, and with the least in their group being of supreme realm, they didn't hesitate and also charged into the Trial Field.

However, once they entered the Trial Field, they suddenly found that they had lost track of Chu Mo and the others.

Ahead of them was only a sealed Zha Xiaojin.

The leader of the Haoyue Sect directly rushed over, grabbed Zha Xiaojin, and asked with a cold gaze, "Where are they?"

Zha Xiaojin was terrified, having no idea what had happened, seeing such a large group of sect members rushing into the Trial Field left him completely stunned. He muttered, "What happened? They, they just went straight ahead."

"Chase!" snarled the leader of the Haoyue Sect, gritting his teeth and making a firm resolution to obliterate those damned beings. He threw Zha Xiaojin out to the following supreme realm cultivators with a cold voice, "Don't let him escape, he's an accomplice too!"

A cultivator caught Zha Xiaojin, and the majority followed their leader flying ahead.

Zha Xiaojin asked the sect member who caught him, utterly puzzled, "What happened?"

The man dully replied, "Liu Yunfeng rescued Lin Xiu along with two accomplices, our Saint Patriarch emerged from seclusion and was killed by one of his accomplices."

"..." Zha Xiaojin was initially startled, then recalling the leader's words – he too is an accomplice! – he felt like the whole world had turned bleak, and with a cry, he fainted.

The Haoyue Sect supreme cultivator who caught him twitched his mouth, attempting to show a mocking smile, but suddenly felt a bleakness in his heart. With the entire Haoyue Sect's future uncertain and such a tragic event occurring, where would one find the mood to mock others? Zha Xiaojin was about to die, and he seemed not much better off, right?

Because he had arrived at what was called the genius meat grinder – the Trial Field!

The true place of great terror!

But for Zi Dao, Liu Yunfeng, and the Chu brothers, arriving here meant they were half at ease because they were home!

The route of their escape was entirely guided by Chu Mo, simply because he could avoid dangerous areas. But for the Haoyue Sect's leader and his group... not so much!

They rushed in only to suddenly realize why the Trial Field was known as the genius meat grinder. For the vast majority among them, this place... was a terrifying dead zone!

Entering meant a ten out of ten chance of death!
