Demon Lord snorted coldly but offered no more responses.

However, this was already enough to get those present excited beyond belief!

They had never dreamed that such an ideal outcome was possible.

The other party's realm was so high that they were clearly not the type to go back on their word. Wasn't this like telling them: If you can seize the heritage from my disciple, then try your best to seize it! Even if you kill him, I will not blame you!

How could there be such ridiculous masters in the world?

They all found it hard to believe. However, thinking about the monstrously gifted youth made this crowd of people, gnashing their teeth in hatred, begin to understand this mysterious powerhouse a little.

It's indeed very challenging to kill such a monstrously gifted youth!

Just like now, nobody knew how exactly he managed to climb up this loner's peak.

At the moment, aside from besieging him from below, these people had no other effective tactics!

Follow him up there? There was probably nobody willing to undertake such a task. This was because everyone knew the strength of that boy and the blade in his hands... they were not to be underestimated.

Just before Chu Mo fled, the scene of him beheading seven or eight people with just one sweep of his blade was still marked in many of their hearts. Thinking about it now, they felt a sense of fear.

But regardless of everything, they now knew that the mysterious powerhouse, hidden in darkness, was just trying to let his disciple obtain experience and would not take action against them personally. This reassured them completely.

The night passed quickly, and by the break of day, the sun was bright and gay. The mountain wind finally blew away the mysterious veil shrouding the loner's peak, revealing this magnificent mountain to the public.

Those who saw this mountain for the first time could not help but exclaim: "What a majestic and perilous mountain!"

The 3000-meter-tall cliff made many people feel dizzy.

"It's too high!"

"It's too perilous!"

"That boy... really climbed up this cliff?"

Many people found it somewhat hard to believe.

But when they approached and found many neat piles of rocks on the ground, it looked as if they had been cut with a blade.

Someone tried the hardness of the stone and could not help but twitch the corners of their mouth, exclaiming, "This stone is immeasurably hard. Even if my realm was not suppressed and still at my peak, even with a treasured blade in hand, I might not be able to cut it so neatly!"

Some people didn't believe it and also tried it out. In the end, all of them couldn't help but gasp loudly.

"This stone is too hard!"

"The blade in that boy's hands... is an unrivaled treasure!"

"Having a good master really makes a difference!"

"I already lack some confidence..." Someone with a fallen expression said, "Although that powerhouse personally promised not to hinder me again, even if we killed Chu Mo, he wouldn't blame us. But there's a growing sense of unease in my heart."

"Yes, those gold elders from the Azure Dragon Hall and the Vermilion Bird Association, along with those two powerful figures in the Understanding Heart Realm... may have fallen by Chu Mo's sword," someone said softly.

The crowd fell silent. Someone reluctantly said, "Since it has come to this, do we have to retreat?"

Mr. Qi stepped forward, "Sometimes taking a step back would lead to a broader sky. Retreating does not mean losing courage. Moreover, your action, from its root, is nothing to be praised for."

Someone sarcastically said, "Mr. Qi, stop with the cold words. If you had no purpose, why would you wait here aimlessly? If Chu Mo came out, he wouldn't think you're a good person."

"Right. You can't stop us, neither can you stop Chu Mo. Why are you still here? Why not just leave?"

Mr. Qi faintly smiled, not offended, and unhurriedly said, "In ancient times, the large rift that appeared in the sky of the Four Symbols Continent, the creatures that fell down, may not have only been common creatures from the upper world. It may not have been impossible for some high-ranking beings also to descend through the rift. I always have a feeling that the techniques used by Chu Mo are not things this world should possess! Also, although my realm isn't high, I'm at least at the peak of the Metal-Stone realm. I know a thing or two about the affairs of the world."

All those present fell silent, looking at Mr. Qi.

Mr. Qi smiled, "At least, as far as I know, let alone top-level sects like Longevity Heaven, even the strongest among the Lone City Sword and the Immortals Beyond Heaven — four isolated sects which stand aloof from worldly strife — may not possess the power to seal everyone's elixir field on the spot, precisely lowering our realm. The youth from Longevity Heaven, don't you agree with what I said?"

As Mr. Qi said this, he turned to look at the young powerhouse from Longevity Heaven surnamed Meng.

Meng Li glanced at Mr. Qi and smiled bitterly, "I don't know much about these secrets. However, I have never heard that there is such a strong person in this world."

An old man from Vermilion Bird Continent also added grimly, "Indeed, I have met a powerful hermit before. His realm has reached the ninth level of the Yellow Rank — the Heavenly Heart Realm. He has immeasurable power. But I've never heard about him having such an ability. It is rumored that above the Four Symbols Continent, there is another called the Spirit Realm. This kind of ability probably originates from the Spirit Realm."

Upon hearing this, everyone present could not help but gasp coldly.

Another more powerful world was simply unfathomable to them.

Those who ascended from the Four Symbols Continent, it was rumored that they were destined to go to the Spirit Realm!

Mr. Qi nodded, "So, I actually want to see exactly how strong this Chu Mo really is! Even though I have lost the ability to continue improving and it's impossible for me to enter the Spirit Realm in this lifetime. But if I can witness a young man ascending with my own eyes, I believe it'd be a pretty good thing. My life wouldn't be a wasted one!"

"Mr. Qi, do you want to...?" Those who knew Mr. Qi were surprised to see this man who was already over a hundred years old.

Mr. Qi frankly said, "Though I'm not outstanding, I'd like to act as a guardian for that boy."

"Is that..." Everyone present had an extremely strange expression on their faces.

All these people were racking their brains to seize Chu Mo and take the heritage of Piaomiao Palace from him, to murder Chu Mo. Yet there appeared a maverick like Mr. Qi.

And what's worse, they could not accuse Mr. Qi of anything.

How could you, being a robber yourself, force others around you to rob as well?

"So, Mr. Qi is our enemy?" Someone asked while laughing.

However, that was actually what many people were thinking.

While everyone's realm was now the same, it would still be hard to defend if someone launched a surprise attack against someone else!

Mr. Qi shook his head placidly, "I will not take action against any of you. Whether he agrees or not is another story. What's more, I want to see how exactly he will extricate himself from this predicament."
