"Thank goodness we woke up early, otherwise... whew!" Zhou Jun said considering himself lucky, talking to Wang Tong.

Wang Tong, however, remained silent and took no notice of his disciple.

"Why? Master, do you feel... uneasy?" Zhou Jun was indeed very perceptive and capable of quickly adjusting his own mindset.

Wang tong glanced at Zhou Jun and said solemnly, "Jun..."

Zhou Jun blinked in surprise. Although they were as close as father and son, his master was usually very dignified, rarely showing his affection.

"Master... what's wrong?" Zhou Jun carefully observed Wang Tong's behavior.

Wang Tong hesitated for a moment before saying, "Master regrets securing your right to enter the Ruins."

"Ah? Why?" Zhou Jun, of course, would not believe his master had any other intentions. Such a statement would only imply he was concerned about his safety.

"Master believes that what Young Master Chu said makes sense." Speaking directly to his beloved disciple, Wang Tong no longer withheld anything. "Even though the Sect Master, under current circumstances, had no choice but to sever ties with Young Master Chu, I feel that Young Master Chu's words hold merit. I don't want you to enter the Ruins."

"Master... I think... I'll be fine," Zhou Jun said. However, even he, didn't sound cent percent sure.

The previous excitement had been dashed by Chu Mo's reality check. Now that he had a moment to think, fear indeed set in.

The four Great Sects, the towering forces in this world, had no means to conquer the land Beyond Heaven. As a warrior of the Metallic Realm himself, what made him certain he could pull off such a feat?

"So... maybe I won't go?" Zhou Jun said hesitantly, looking at his silent Master.

Deep down, he was in fact truly reluctant to give up.

"If you can't let go of it, then go..." After a long while, Wang Tong lifted his head and said to Zhou Jun, "However, you must stay close to Young Master Chu!"

"Huh? Isn't that... isn't that against the Sect Master's wishes?" Zhou Jun looked upon his own master with his mouth agape.

Wang Tong shook his head: "Even though the Sect Master was forced to cut ties with Young Master Chu, he did not choose to oppose him. Furthermore, you are merely a junior disciple of the West Sea Sect; what can they truly say about your actions if you deny them?"

Zhou Jun looked at his master with his mouth twitching. He was dumbfounded and couldn't believe these words were coming from his usually stern master.

"What are you gawking at?" Wang Tong suddenly shouted angrily, "Get lost!"

Zhou Jun ran off with an amused expression, but deep down he was deeply moved. He knew, everything his master was doing was for his own good.

The following day finally came - the day to enter the Ruins.

Everyone got up early and gathered at a small square in the town center.

Interestingly, the disciples from the Four Great Sects looked solemn and didn't talk much. However, the disciples from other sects like Longevity Heaven, Four Path Sword Sect, Heavenly Primordial Pill Sect, and Heaven Beyond Heaven, including young disciples from West Sea Sect, Great Wilderness Sect and Green Mountain Sect, showed excitement on their faces.

The Ruins.

Famous for quite some time, but still the first time anyone could get so close to them!

Hence, while their dangers were familiar to all from the legends, those who've never entered did not believe them to be truly dangerous.

From the Four Great Sects side, about forty people from each sect entered the Ruins.

Together with the additional one hundred and forty chosen during the sect conference, more than three hundred people in total were gathered, fully prepared, at the town's square.

Now, only Huang Hui remained by Chu Mo's side. Because the big rooster could not enter the ruins, it had to stay in town and wait for news.

This left Chu Mo looking somewhat lonely, even a little pitiable.

The other sects were all gathered in large numbers, but only here were there two people. It looked as though they were isolated.

Indeed, they were isolated.

Hua Xiaoya looked distantly at Chu Mo and Huang Hui. Even though she knew all the reasons, her heart still felt uncomfortable. Miao Yi Niang and Shen Xingxue in the Immortal camp felt even worse. Even though Shen Aoshuang painstakingly explained to both women for a long time, and even though Shen Aobing, who always disdained explanations, unusually discussed their negotiations with the Immortal predecessors, their hearts were still extremely saddened.

That kind of feeling, it was as if they were betrayed!

Even though they both know it was not like this, but looking at Chu Mo now only accompanied by Huang Hui, standing there all alone, the eyes of both women became slightly red again.

This scene, when witnessed by others, further solidified a rumour - the Four Great Sects truly plan to make a move on Chu Mo!

"Chu Mo is done for, this time, he will undoubtedly die."

"Unexpectedly, he still has the guts to enter the ruins, it's really to my surprise."

"Bullshit, can he decide not to enter now? I heard that the Four Great Sects have sixty to seventy Innate masters here. Even if Chu Mo wanted to escape, could he?"

"You are right, he is like a lamb to the slaughter."

In the crowd, many people were whispering.

The gazes toward Chu Mo were mostly those who took joy in his misfortune. Particularly the disciples from Longevity Heaven and Four Path Sword Sect, they showed happy expressions regarding Chu Mo's predicament.

"Alright, everyone is here. Cut the crap!" A tall man stood on the podium in the middle of the square, who was in charge of the final motivation before these people entered the ruins.

"In one hour, you all will enter the legendary ruins. I am not scaring you, the ruins are very dangerous. Remember, there is nothing more important than your lives. Coming back alive is the real victory. Remember, no killing among yourselves within it; if I find out about it, then... you will be collectively pursued and killed by the Four Great Sects!" This man said, also deliberately glanced in Chu Mo's direction, and continued, "By then, even your close friends will be implicated, it won't be good!"

Many people's gaze toward Chu Mo at this moment even held some sympathy. This was an obvious attempt to set Chu Mo up! They openly threatened him... The Four Great Sects really went too far!

People with a sense of justice all felt disgusted with this man.

The man on the stage seemed to understand that he had misspoken, so he didn't say much more. After giving a few more instructions, he jumped down and led the crowd toward the perimeter of the formation.

The so-called Gate of the Ruins is just a cluster of bluish light; if seen elsewhere, it would surely go unrecognized for its purpose.

Having reached this point, everyone stopped wasting words. They cast long glances back at those who were seeing them off, and then one by one... filed in.

Chu Mo and Huang Hui were deliberately left behind.

Huang Hui was a bit angry, but Chu Mo was very calm, his face even showing a faint scorn.

Finally, when it was their turn, Chu Mo turned his head and gave a meaningful look to the crowd afar, then suddenly, he flashed a grin.

He turned around and entered.
