Xuanxue's eyes were bloodshot as she roared, "Xuan Wudi!" Her gaze toward Chu Mo was full of hatred, yet she dared not act rashly, for the blue-clothed young man opposite her was simply too terrifying!
His renown in the Heavenly Realm Sea once ranked directly below Patriarch Heiyu!
Even Patriarch Heiyu dared not provoke him lightly!
Kun Fish Great Saint!
One of the legendary Seven Great Saints, the most powerful fish in the Heavenly Realm Sea!
Kun Fish Great Saint stood there, his gaze cold and penetrating as he looked at the scene unfolding in the grand hall. From the vertical eye on his forehead, a strange light emanated while he stared at Xuanxue and said, "Boundary Sea Dao Sect has always maintained a low profile. Why can't you continue being low-key? The moment you gain a sliver of prominence, you adopt the behavior of bandits. Xuansong, you shamelessly snatched another man's wife and made her your son's bride, claiming it was done with a clear conscience. Yet you can't tolerate a single insult toward your own wife. Do you truly believe that your Boundary Sea Dao Sect is invincible in the Heavenly Realm Sea?"
The entire grand hall fell silent.
The intimidation of Kun Fish Great Saint was simply overwhelming.
Back in the day when he rampaged through the Heavenly Realm Sea, he was utterly unstoppable, no one ever dared provoke him.
Even though he had sunk into the depths of the Heavenly Realm Sea for countless years, people still spoke his name with utmost respect.
Xuansong wore a pained expression as he stared at his unconscious son lying on the ground. His eyes burned with intense hatred as he roared, "Kun Fish Great Saint, this is unfair! Even if we were wrong at first, we didn't cause any harm in the end. But Chu Mo… how could he… how could he be so ruthless… to destroy my son's entire cultivation!"
The usually gentle Xuanyue was also heartbroken as she gazed at Xuanyue's unconscious form lying on the ground, her eyes red with grievance. She and Xuanxue had never married, always treating Xuan Wudi, their nephew, as their own child. Xuan Wudi had always been obedient and filial, never overstepping any boundaries.
This time, he merely fell in love with a woman he shouldn't have loved, yet he was subjected to such severe punishment. It was truly too much!
Chu Mo, standing on the dais with his snow-white hair fluttering, looked down upon the group in the hall and let out a cold snort. "Were it not for the relatively decent reputation of your Boundary Sea Dao Sect, with no grave misdeeds on record, today would not have ended merely like this. Destroying Xuan Wudi's cultivation is simply what he deserves! Xuansong, if you refuse to accept this, feel free to seek revenge anytime! I'll be waiting!"
As he spoke, Chu Mo glanced at the Demon Lord and others, saying, "Master, let's go!"
Xuanxue coldly declared, "Leave? Not a single one of you will leave today!"
With her words, the aura around Xuanxue erupted entirely. She stared coldly at Chu Mo. "Leave your life here first!"
Kun Fish Great Saint glanced at Xuanxue. "Are you certain?"
Xuanxue shouted defiantly, "Kun Fish Great Saint, do not think I can't see that you are gravely injured and have yet to recover! You were struck down into the depths of the Heavenly Realm Sea long ago, likely because this little brat Chu Mo saved you, right? If you want to repay his life-saving grace, you should first think about whether you can leave here alive! Do not think I fear you!"
Xuanxue exuded a powerful aura unflinching before the infamous Kun Fish Great Saint.
Upon hearing this, Kun Fish Great Saint suddenly chuckled.
Then, he waved the Sea God Spear in his hand, sending a faint ripple toward Xuanxue.
Xuanxue sneered, "You're old!"
She counterattacked with a strike of her own!
Boom!
Within the grand hall, an earth-shattering explosion reverberated, shaking the entire structure to its core. Despite the protection of arrays, the constant fighting within made it difficult for the hall to withstand.
By this point, most people had already evacuated the grand hall, gathering on the square outside and staring in shock at the building.
Back in the grand hall.
After clashing directly with Kun Fish Great Saint, Xuanxue's figure retreated rapidly, slamming into the wall at the edge of the hall. That wall, unable to withstand the impact, collapsed with a thunderous boom!
With the wall's destruction, the grand hall's array was shattered, instantly crushed into dust by the boundless power of the Great Dao.
Many of those outside were affected by the force, coughing up large amounts of blood as they retreated in panic, their faces filled with shock at the scene before them.
The headquarters of the Boundary Sea Dao Sect lit up with countless protective arrays. Were it not for the arrays, this small world would have immediately collapsed. Even the entire Heavenly Realm Sea would have been thrown into turmoil!
Xuanxue and Kun Fish Great Saint fought their way out, but Xuanxue was thoroughly suppressed and overpowered!
Even though Xuanxue was incredibly powerful, surpassing Xuansong and nearing the level of the ancestral realm, she still found herself outmatched, continuously forced into retreat against Kun Fish Great Saint.
Meanwhile, Xuansong, Xuanyue, and a group of Great Saints surrounded Chu Mo and his companions.
Xuansong's complexion was so dark it seemed water could drip from his face. He glared menacingly at Chu Mo. "Chu Mo, you won't leave here alive today."
Chu Mo remained calm and said indifferently, "Then I will bathe your Boundary Sea Dao Sect in blood!"
"You…" Xuansong felt an oppressive fury building in his chest, suffocating him.
The other Great Saints of the Boundary Sea Dao Sect were similarly enraged. One of them, a peak Holy Realm cultivator and island lord from the Thirteen Islands, shouted angrily, "Sect Master, what are you waiting for? Give the order! We, Boundary Sea Dao Sect, cannot endure this shame!"
He Lanfeng's face twisted in agony. Deep inside, he truly did not want to be enemies with this group.
Whether it was the domineering yet refined Demon Lord or the strong, noble, and insightful Drifting Empress, they all gave him the sense of finding kindred spirits. He genuinely wanted to befriend these people.
But under these circumstances, he had no choice but to break ties, as he was ultimately a member of the Boundary Sea Dao Sect.
Another Great Saint of the sect roared, "Sect Master, what are you waiting for? Give the order! Regardless of who's right or wrong, we cannot let others trample on us like this!"
"That's right, Sect Master, give the order!"
"Even if we have to sacrifice our lives, we must ensure Chu Mo doesn't leave here alive!"
"Avenge our shame!"
"Yes, avenge our shame!"
A frenzy overtook the Great Saints of the Boundary Sea Dao Sect.
Just as they finally gained some recognition, they were smacked down so brutally. The humiliation of it made them boil with anger. If they couldn't defend themselves now, what prestige would they have left in the Heavenly Realm Sea? Being single-handedly crushed without retaliating—what force would respect them?
Xuansong took a deep breath. Just as he resolved to give the order—
"Ah!" Xuanxue's sudden scream caught everyone's attention.
"Little Xue!"
"Xue'er!"
Xuansong and Xuanyue cried out in concern.
They turned to look at Xuanxue, standing pale-faced, her fiery gaze fixed and immobile.
The holy artifact, Sea God Spear, rested against her throat.
Kun Fish Great Saint held the Sea God Spear firmly, his face composed as he looked at Xuanxue. "A severely injured, dying Kun Fish Great Saint is still not someone a junior like you can provoke. You're right, I am old, because back in the day, a mere ten of your kind wouldn't pose a challenge to me. One move, and victory!"
Xuanxue bit her lip tightly, the fire in her eyes gradually dimming, replaced with a deeply complex expression. She softly murmured, "Must you make me look so pathetic? Why don't you just kill me already!"
With that, she suddenly lunged toward the Sea God Spear!
"No!"
"Don't be foolish!"
Xuansong and Xuanyue were on the verge of despair, nearly losing their minds. At this moment, Xuansong no longer cared about ordering an attack on Chu Mo; his sole concern was his sister's well-being.
Kun Fish Great Saint smiled faintly and withdrew the Sea God Spear. Xuanxue's leap was driven by sheer will to die, so the sudden retreat of the weapon left her tumbling directly into Kun Fish Great Saint's arms, unconscious.
This dignified peak Holy Realm cultivator, consumed by despair and rage, had collapsed in the Great Saint's embrace.
Everyone was stunned.
Kun Fish Great Saint looked equally bewildered, awkwardly holding the unconscious Xuanxue, unsure whether to push her away or not.
Chu Mo's face twisted in amusement as he glanced at Kun Fish Great Saint. With a sly grin, his thoughts were indecipherable.
Qi Xiaoyu shot him a reproachful glance. She knew him too well; with just one look at his smile, she could guess his mischievous intentions. She thought to herself how incorrigible he was, finding the time for such thoughts even now.
At that moment, Xuanxue slowly regained consciousness. With her lofty cultivation, it was impossible for her to remain unconscious for long. But as soon as she awoke, she sensed something amiss.
In truth, this was her best chance to ambush Kun Fish Great Saint!
With her level of cultivation, she could severely injure Kun Fish Great Saint in a single strike. But for some reason, she couldn't bring herself to act now. She had never leaned in a man's embrace like this in her entire life. Blushing furiously, she darted away in an instant and disappeared.
Everyone present exchanged bewildered glances, stunned by how bizarre this battle had turned out to be.
Meanwhile, Xuan Wudi, who had been unconscious from having his cultivation destroyed, awoke in grief and rage. Upon realizing his plight, he let out a heart-wrenching scream, "Father… kill them! Kill them all! Don't let a single one escape!"
Chu Mo glanced at Xuan Wudi, then at Xuansong and the others, slowly drawing Heaven Slaying. His eyes flashed with divine light, his fighting spirit surging.
So be it, a battle it shall be!
You have your convictions; I have my beliefs to defend!
To harm my woman and then turn around seeking grievances?
Then fight!
Kun Fish Great Saint silently returned to Chu Mo's side, his presence wordless but his fighting spirit equal to Chu Mo's.
He had slept in the depths of the Heavenly Realm Sea for far too many years. As the dominant fish of the Heavenly Realm Sea, and despite being struck down, he had never been so easily defeated. His survival in the sea's depths remained a mystery too intricate for even the greatest powers to unravel. He owed Chu Mo, and in his heart, Chu Mo was already a cherished savior and a junior he deeply respected!
Besides, his ties to the Monkey Great Saint were profound and unshakable.
Xuansong stood conflicted, wrestling with the urge to order the destruction of Chu Mo and his companions, torn by inner turmoil.
