Elder Lu looked at his returning daughter, listening to her relaying Chu Mo's message, and furrowed his brows slightly, murmuring, "Mr. Chu... What does this mean? Is it possible that he has discovered something?"

"Father, you can't seriously believe what he said, can you?" Lu Tianyue gave a slight smile, saying, "In terms of medical skills, he is definitely a master, no one can deny that; but in other aspects... Father, no matter how strong he is, he is just a martial artist of the congenital realm after all."

"You are underestimating him." Elder Lu looked at his daughter and said earnestly, "Do you know that on the night of the conflict, not only was Lu Yifeng, a foundation establishment peak cultivator, disarmed by him, but also your sister, another peak foundation establishment cultivator, couldn't even withstand one single move against him! At that time, even I... when I faced him, I had a feeling that I might not be able to suppress him directly!"

"This... How could this be?" Lu Tianyue looked at her father in astonishment, but she knew her father wouldn't lie to her. That night, Lu Tianyue happened to be out of Jinxiu City, thus she missed the exciting scene.

After returning, considering Lu Tianqi's situation, everyone in the family was reluctant to talk about the incident. Therefore, Lu Tianyue was not aware of how formidable Mr. Chu actually was.

"So, his warning must be given serious consideration." Elder Lu stated, "Even if nothing happens tonight, being more vigilant might not be a bad thing."

"What about... the Jin and Hong Families?" Lu Tianyue looked at Elder Lu.

Elder Lu chuckled, "Why don't you personally pay them a visit and relay Chu Mo's words as they were."

"Sounds good, I will go to those two families myself." Lu Tianyue nodded and then said, "Young Master Chu is right, this is not the ideal time to weaken our city's competitiors, we can't give outsiders a loophole to exploit."

"If you can think so, it is indeed the best, it shows that my precious daughter has matured more than before." A smile emerged on Elder Lu's face, "As long as we are strong enough, we never need to fear any enemy. One should never rely on others becoming weaker."

Lu Tianyue nodded, turned to leave, but then she paused and said to Elder Lu, "Tonight, let's not send Qi, alright?"

"Even if we asked her to go, she probably wouldn't. This girl, she has been hiding in her room for days without seeing anyone." Elder Lu sighed, and said somewhat headache-inducingly, "She will probably be fine after some time."

Lu Tianyue nodded, "This might not be a bad thing."

Very soon, the Hong family and Jin family, both which were among the Three Great Families of Jinxiu City, received the warning from Lu Tianyue.

Upon learning that the warning came from Chu Mo, both families took it very seriously, they reassessed their list of members designated to enter the ruins that night. They also instructed everyone to peak their vigilance, prioritizing their safeties before anything else.

Whether it be treasures or inherited cultivation techniques, nothing is as important as life itself.

In the blink of an eye, an afternoon had passed, and by evening, Elder Lu Tian, a plump elder from the Lu family, appeared before Chu Mo once more. He respectfully said: "Mr. Chu, we are about to set off soon. The Family Head instructed me to come and escort you over."

"There is no need for Elder Lu to be so polite." Chu Mo took his rooster and boarded the Lu Family's carriage.

Following that, carriages after carriages, and team after team began heading out of Jinxiu City. Then, at a place about thirty miles away from Jinxiu City, all the carriages regrouped.

Chu Mo disembarked from the carriage and seen over three hundred people had gathered at this location!

All of these people radiated a formidable aura. Chu Mo scanned the crowd, and to his surprise, discovered that there wasn't a single congenital realm martial artist amongst them. Besides him, everyone else… the weakest amongst them were, at least, cultivators in the early stage of the Foundation Establishment!

Among them were a few noticeably peerless auras that throbbed with power. Chu Mo turned his gaze to them.

Jin Dongnan, the patriarch of Jin family, and two elderly men on his side, were all Gold Core cultivators. One of the elderly men had even reached the middle to late stage of Gold Core realm.

The patriarch of Hong family, Hong Qiang, had only reached the late stage of Foundation Establishment, but one of the elderly men by his side was at the early stage of Gold Core. Furthermore, a middle-aged man who seemed to be around forty was also an early-stage Gold Core cultivator. He stood behind Hong Qiang, appearing to be very low-key.

As for the strength on Lu family's side, it was obviously greater. Elder Lu had attained the middle-stage Gold Core, his daughter Lu Tianyue, had already achieved early-stage Gold Core realm. Aside from that, there were two other elderly men standing within the Lu family emanating formidable energy. Under Chu Mo's Heavenly Mirror Divine Sight, their cultivation realms were revealed.

Middle-stage Gold Core and late-stage Gold Core!

There were indeed two genuine powerhouses!

Particularly the elder at late-stage Gold Core, who had even achieved the seventh level of body refinement!

"The Jin family... really is a hidden dragon and crouching tiger. No wonder they can become the leader of the Three Great Families in Jinxiu City." Chu Mo thought secretly.

At this time, Chu Mo noticed Jin Ming, Jin family's Eighth Young Master, in the midst of Jin family's group, giving him a smile.

Chu Mo nodded at Jin Ming and responded with a slight smile.

While Chu Mo was secretly examining others, many were doing the same to him.

Many were curious about this young man who had only been in Jinxiu City for a few days. They wondered what abilities he possessed that attributed to him receiving respectful treatment from all three families.

Even the so-called vindictive Hong family was so courteous to Chu Mo.

Chu Mo didn't care much about these curious gazes. He had started to understand that the Three Great Families, were not as divided as he had initially thought. They had already decided to unite their forces, otherwise, there wouldn't be a scene where all experts from the three families gathered here.

Chu Mo thought that he might have underestimated them. An image of the divination from last night popped into his mind. Chu Mo still found it hard to comprehend.

Given the power displayed by the Three Great Families, they were already quite formidable. Even those so-called powerful factions would probably not dare to underestimate the united force of the Three Great Families.

Then what was that bloody battleground shown in the divination…?

"Alright, now that we are all here, I, Lu Zheng, have a few things to say in advance!" Elder Lu suddenly spoke, and all eyes turned towards him.

Elder Lu said seriously, "Today is the day that the three great families of Jinxiu City jointly explore the ruin. I want to put my harsh words out first. The reason why the three of us, the families of Jinxiu City, are united is that we don't want to give non-Jinxiu City people any chance! This ruin belongs to us, Jinxiu City! However, there must be no internal strife among us. If any one of us three family heads finds someone attacking their companions because of treasure, that person... no matter who they are, will be severely punished! In other words, treasure hunting is about opportunities. What we need to value is unity!"
