This feeling of terror and helplessness, they had not experienced it in many years.

For some, they had never felt it before.

Those who could cultivate to the point of reaching the Golden Stone Realm were already considered prodigies in this world. Their talents wouldn't be too shabby.

If their factions weren't that big, then these people would basically be considered as the best talents within their respective factions.

From childhood to adulthood, they had always been nurtured amid various praises. After joining the Vermilion Bird Association, they even obtained an unrivaled background.

Who would dare to treat them like this?

Not to mention that they had never seen anybody in this world with such abilities!

Hence, this group of high-standing Golden Stone Realm elders, who held significant power and influence, were all scared witless. Their reactions, their level of unbearableness even caused Chu Mo to be a bit stunned.

Even if your realm was suppressed down to the Iron Bone Realm, weren't you still equipped with battle strength? If you guys carry on like this, how am I supposed to practice?

If these people had heard Chu Mo's thoughts, they would surely curse him: Why don't you try being suppressed two realms down all of a sudden?

If they had actually dared ask him this, Chu Mo had a response ready for them.

Because the Demon Lord had already done so!

And he did it just now!

The Demon Lord discovered that these Golden Stone Realm experts, after their realms got suppressed to the Iron Bone Realm all of a sudden, fell into total chaos and several of them were taken down by Chu Mo within a few moves.

This was simply a one-sided massacre!

For Chu Mo, combat like this posed no difficulty and could not serve as any form of training at all.

As a result, without uttering a word of warning, the Demon Lord just suppressed Chu Mo's realm from nearing the mid-phase of Yellow Rank fourth level down to when he had just broken through to Yellow Rank fourth stage.

Although he did not lower Chu Mo's main realm, this was still quite sudden!

Throughout the battle, Chu Mo did not display any abnormalities. If this group of people had been attentive enough, they might have noticed: Chu Mo's attacks became somewhat weaker.

But unfortunately, this group did not notice anything.

They seemed akin to a swarm of headless flies, had all become trapped beasts but failed to deploy any bit of a trapped beast's might.

When Chu Mo forced the second last realm-suppressed figure off a cliff with Man Fist, the last remaining high-level practitioner of the Golden Stone Realm suddenly noticed... that his realm had come back!

Boom!

A surge of formidable aura blasted out of this man's body.

Then, he lifted his hand, and it met with the punch Chu Mo had thrown at him.

Chu Mo, who was two realms inferior, was beaten back without any suspense, spitting out a mouthful of fresh blood.

This Golden Stone Realm expert didn't know what had happened, but he knew his power had returned. Overjoyed, he headed straight for Chu Mo.

"You beast...Die for me!"

Anger, fear, helplessness... Interwoven emotions caused this Golden Stone Realm expert to nearly go insane. His roar was earth-shattering.

Swish!

A flash of sword light suddenly lit up.

This was a dazzling sight hinting at an awe-inspiring power which made the Golden Stone Realm expert pause in astonishment.

Soon after, his head was severed and flew into the air!

A pair of wide eyes was filled with disbelief as the skull ascended to the heavens.

How is this possible?

Didn't I regain my power? How can he still kill me?

Chu Mo delivered a soul seizing blow and defeated a seasoned expert who had regained his strength. Bathed in sweat, he sat heavily on a stone gasping for breath muttering, "Master...is this how you do things? You almost got me killed."

"Did you think that I'm the only one who can seal your elixir field and suppress your realm?" The Demon Lord's voice echoed from the void, "Although no one in the Four Symbols Continent can do this, there are certainly such experts in the Spirit Realm! For some reason, they may not attack you directly. But when you're in a duel, they could plot against you secretly, and you'd suffer a significant disadvantage!"

"If that is true, how can I prevent it?" Chu Mo scratched his head. The reaction of the Vermilion Bird Association's elites after encountering such a plot made Chu Mo feel a lingering fear.

It wouldn't be fair to say that the members of the Vermilion Bird Association were weaker than those from the Azure Dragon Hall, or that they lacked mental strength. Those from the Azure Dragon Hall knew about it in advance. Even when cornered, they could still show their abilities.

However, the Vermilion Bird Association members were utterly in the dark, suddenly caught in the Demon Lord's plot!

Both sides reacted astonishingly, which was usual.

Not everyone is dead this time. Granny Qu, who Chu Mo delivered a powerful punch to and sent flying, was barely breathing.

She watched in horror as all the people she'd brought here were completely wiped out by this young man in a very short time. The shock and frustration within her were better left unsaid.

Hearing the conversation between Chu Mo and the mysterious figure, Granny Qu spewed a mouthful of old blood.

So, this young man deliberately brought us all the way here just to practice his skills on us!

We, big shots who can summon the wind and rain, are now merely practice targets for a little brat?

"Little beast...if you have the guts, kill me now!" Granny Qu lay there, her body full of broken bones, her face weak. Still, she shouted menacingly.

Chu Mo glanced at Granny Qu's direction, saying, "Hush, can't you see I'm in the middle of a lesson?"

Spurt!

Granny Qu spurted another mouthful of fresh blood and fainted due to anger.

After this, the Demon Lord continued, "Of course there are ways to avoid it, but if you've never experienced it, even if I teach you the method, you would still lack experience. Now, you've understood the discomfort of having your strength suddenly drop off. Once I teach you how to protect your elixir field from being controlled, learning it would be much easier."

The Demon Lord conveyed a mnemonic directly into Chu Mo's divine sense, and then said, "You just need to learn this right now. You won't need it in the Four Symbols Continent. Moreover, you'll need spiritual power to support this technique. Even if you have a lot of primordial force, it won't be sufficient."

After memorizing the mnemonic, Chu Mo asked with a smile, "Master, do you have any other techniques I don't know? Could you teach me all at once?"

"Be gone," The Demon Lord replied coldly, "Aren't you aware of the principle 'Grasp all, lose all'?"

Chu Mo scratched his head, "I know."

"You still ask even though you know?"

"Alright, I won't ask anymore."

"This place is a bit unsuitable now. I expect that those who come later will be even more intolerable."

"Then where should we go?"

"Over to the valley!"

Chu Mo felt lighter instantly, rising into the air. In the blink of an eye, he was already on the other side of the valley. He saw hordes of people moving towards him like a fan-shaped enclosure from afar.

"All the bustling in the world is for profit. Is the inheritance of Piaomiao Palace really worth it?" Chu Mo murmured to himself.

Standing beside Chu Mo, the Demon Lord snorted, "Of course, you can't see the importance because you have superior techniques. However, as the most top-end inheritance in the Four Symbols Continent, countless people yearn for it. Do you believe that even if you kill all these thousands of people today, there will still be people targeting you tomorrow?"

"Endless bad guys to kill," Chu Mo sighed. A resolute look gradually filled his eyes. (To be continued. If you like this novel, you're welcome to vote for it on qidian.com. Your support is my biggest motivation. Mobile phone users please visit m.qidian.com to read.)
