"Who would have thought that he is actually one of the five ancestors of the Blood Demon Sect, the Versatile Taoist, a figure of great power at the mid-Primordial Infant stage..." Lu Tianyue stayed in shock for a while before finally regaining her senses, her face looking at Chu Mo in utter astonishment: "What's even more unexpected is... such a terrifying figure of great power, was actually killed by you... Brother Tianming, you really... you are so powerful!"

There was so much meaning behind the way Lu Tianyue called him 'Brother Tianming' at the end, how she wished this person was truly Lu Tianming!

Lu Tianqi, standing by her side, looked at Chu Mo through tear-filled eyes: " Brother Tianming, if it wasn't for you, I fear we would have probably..." As she spoke, Lu Tianqi, her eyes reddening, looked at Chu Mo filled with admiration.

If one were only to look at her now, nobody would believe that not so long ago, this young newly appointed head of the Lu Family was a genuine tomboy.

After her consecutive encounters with change, this young miss of the Lu Family finally came to her senses and underwent a thorough change.

Wu Hui's face held the same undertones of shock as he looked at the Versatile Taoist, lying defeated on the ground, his old countenance marked by death, and his heart filled with admiration.

He'd actually seen the true face of the Versatile Taoist!

Wu Hui couldn't help murmuring to himself: "He... Is he really one of the five ancestors of the Blood Demon Sect? The Versatile Taoist whose true face no one has ever seen?"

"There can be no mistake. Within the entire Spirit Realm, there is only one cultivator who wields such power and has reached this realm, the Versatile Taoist of the Blood Demon Sect. Moreover, only he has the most reason to hunt after Brother Tianming." Lu Tianyue said, and then gave Chu Mo a glance: "The reason you left abruptly before was due to this person, right?"

Chu Mo nodded, indicating: "Yes."

Lu Tianyue looked deeply at Chu Mo, with one question she couldn't ask in front of everyone: How was Chu Mo able to sense the Versatile Taoist's intentions to kill him in advance? As for how the Versatile Taoist was able to locate Chu Mo, Lu Tianyue had some idea about that.

Thinking of this, Lu Tianyue looked at Chu Mo and asked: "By the way, Brother Tianming, since the Versatile Taoist could find this place, then wouldn't the other elders of the Blood Demon Sect... also be able to find us?"

At this point, Wu Hui shook his head from the side: "It's not very likely that all of them will come, lest anyone rashly leaves their lair. Although the Blood Demon Sect has kept a low profile over the years, it does not mean they are without enemies. If they were to suddenly move out in full force, I fear it might attract the attention of these enemies. However, during this time, I suppose there won't be too few members of the Blood Demon Sect bound for this side."

Only then did Lu Tianyue sigh with relief, feeling newfound trust in Chu Mo. If even one of the five ancestors of the Blood Demon Sect was no match for him, she wouldn't fear their disciples either.

Just as long as Chu Mo was there, she felt secure.

Whilst thinking this, Lu Tianyue looked at Wu Hui: "Junior Master has made a rare visit here, would it be possible for you to stay a while? This would give the Lu Family a chance to properly receive you?"

Wu Hui naturally understood Lu Tianyue's intentions. If this event had not just happened, he might have refused. Not just Lingdong Mountain, but Lingshui Hall as well would not want to provoke the terrifying adversary that is the Blood Demon Sect.

But after witnessing Lu Tianming's magic with his own eyes, Wu Hui felt that the Lu Family might not be massacred by the Blood Demon Sect as they had initially predicted before they arrived.

Perhaps, we are all wrong. The Lu Family may have a chance to turn defeat into victory! After all, they are incredibly far from the Blood Demon Sect. As long as the remaining few ancestors of the Blood Demon Sect do not personally come here, the Lu Family still has a chance. It is always more precious to help others in time of difficulty than merely adding flowers to a brocade. At this moment, to the Lu Family, him staying here is indeed timely help.

This is a huge favor!

As Wu Hui thought of these factors, he nodded and smiled: "Okay, it just so happens this is my first visit to Jinxiu City, so I will impose on my nephew for a few days."

"That's wonderful." Lu Tianyue showed a happy smile and then said: "I plan to report the incident here to my master, so I hope Junior Master Wu can act as a witness..."

Wu Hui did not refuse, for having decided to stay, he felt this was not an issue.

Immediately after, Lu Tianyue did not dawdle. She wrote a letter, appending a notice from the vice-lord of Lingshui Hall, Wu Hui, to explain the situation. This essentially served as a sign of support for Lu Tianyue.

In her letter, Lu Tianyue did not outright refuse the marriage arrangement set by her master. Instead, she stated that she was currently preoccupied, and could only report back to her sect once absolute stability was ensured for her family.

This was Chu Mo's suggestion. In Lu Tianyue's mind, she intended to reject it outright.

However, Chu Mo clearly had a better understanding of how the world worked. He felt that if Lu Tianyue really did reject the arrangement outright, it would put her master in a very awkward position.

Being in the presence of the vice-lord of Lingshui Hall would make her master feel like his disciple was rebelling against him in front of others.

In the letter, she omitted mentioning the marriage, leaving lots of room for negotiation. As long as Lu Tianyue's master wasn't a complete fool, he should understand that his disciple was refusing to consent to the marriage.

When the time comes for Lu Tianyue to return to her sect, she could explain her situation in detail to her master, along with her unwillingness regarding this marriage. This would be a private matter between master and disciple behind closed doors. She believed that even if it might upset her master, he should not feel that his dignity was being challenged.

Lu Tianyue gladly accepted Chu Mo's advice, and half-jokingly praised Chu Mo for his ingenuity.

That night, having returned to his own residence, Chu Mo retrieved the storage ring of the Versatile Taoist. Now that the Versatile Taoist was dead, the seal left on the ring would gradually disperse, making it easier to open.

Chu Mo admired the Versatile Taoist's ability to effortlessly morph into anyone.

If it hadn't been for his all-seeing divine mirror, he wouldn't have identified the Versatile Taoist's shape-shifted form. He might have already fallen prey to him.

After back-to-back confrontations with the Versatile Taoist, Chu Mo promptly scrutinized the detailed information of the five ancestors of the Blood Demon Sect as soon as he returned to Jinxiu City. Knowing about the Versatile Taoist's past glorious victories, Chu Mo didn't hesitate to retaliate when he encountered him once again.

Thus, one could say the Versatile Taoist was dealt an unjust death, as Chu Mo had seen through his very nature, rather than his disguise.

Upon re-examining the storage ring, Chu Mo found that the residual impediment had indeed decreased significantly. This time, he didn't have to exert much effort to open it up.

Even though he had witnessed many high-level resources, what was stored in the Versatile Taoist's ring still shocked Chu Mo.

"This is too bountiful!" Chu Mo inadvertently swallowed, and muttered to himself.

The space within the storage ring was not small, matching the size of a house. Stored perfectly inside were cubicles of neatly organized shelves, each containing a treasure.

From various first-rate medicinal herbs to rare metals… pure gold, secret silver, elemental iron, to formed spiritual tools, elixirs, and many other treasures of various kinds were categorized and accessible at will.

No need to mention the other things, the mere mention of the medicinal herbs themselves was highly valued in the eyes of Chu Mo. He can refine at least dozens of Foundation Establishment elixirs of perfect quality!

Of course, this applies to Chu Mo who possessed the Chaos Furnace. If it were someone else, even with these herbs, they wouldn't be able to refine perfect-quality Foundation Establishment elixirs. They would be lucky just to refine a few flawless Foundation Establishment elixirs.

Finally, Chu Mo discovered a collection of ancient scripts deep within the storage space. After searching thoroughly, Chu Mo finally laid his eyes on a fairly ancient scripture.

"This is it!" Chu Mo's heart was filled with joy.
