Chu Mo had always thought that the Blood Demon Sect would be the first to come looking for him. However, to his surprise, the ones that showed up were from the Lingyue Sect.
Moreover, this time, nine people from the Lingyue Sect arrived. Among them were seven cultivators at the late stage of the Golden Core, and two cultivators at the Primordial Infant realm. These nine people were not after Lu Tianyue. They were... after Chu Mo himself!
They must have investigated "Lu Tianming" beforehand. So, these nine cultivators from Lingyue Sect, without knocking on the door of the Lu Family, came straight to Chu Mo's place.
Chu Mo was sitting in his courtyard, appreciating the flowers. Before this group arrived, he had a premonition. So, he finished his cultivation and set a chair in the courtyard, admiring the flowers that decorated the courtyard.
It was summer, the season of blooming flowers. The courtyard was beautifully decorated, filled with vibrant colors.
Bang!
The mansion's door was kicked open, making a dull noise. It hit the doorpost, unable to bear the tremendous force, and collapsed with a crash.
Two more dull noises echoed.
Sitting there, Chu Mo didn't even bat an eyelid at the commotion outside. He tossed some fish feed in the pond of his courtyard. A group of colorful goldfish swam towards the feed, creating sparkling waves. All the fish squeezed together to eat, creating a truly beautiful spectacle.
"Heh, you seem really relaxed." A young man, around twenty, with a confrontational tone and leading the way, started to mock Chu Mo who was sitting there as firm as a mountain.
Chu Mo suddenly put his index finger to his lips: "Shh!"
And then pointed at the clustered goldfish in the pond: "Don't scare them!"
"You son of a..." The young man, enraged, pointed at Chu Mo and started to curse loudly.
But he only managed to utter three words before he was suddenly thrown out of the mansion, and fell onto a street dozens of feet away.
The young man, standing on the street, looked baffled, as if unsure what had just happened. He was preparing to curse loudly, so how was it that he was suddenly forced out? He hadn't seen anyone attacking him!
Wham!
At that moment, the young man felt a severe pain rip through his body. Then he spat out mouthfuls of fresh blood and swayed. His knees gave way, and he ended up kneeling on the street.
The pedestrians passing by were surprised to see this young man kneeling, wondering why he was paying respect to them. They weren't enjoying this. They didn't have money to reward him!
The pedestrians decided to avoid him.
Then, the young man collapsed on his face, unconscious.
Inside Chu Mo's mansion.
With just a wave of his hand, Chu Mo sent one of the cultivators at the late Golden Core stage flying out.
This not-so-simple move was derived from a supreme inheritance called Taichi. The action seems gentle, but it contained a terrifying force.
Let alone now, even in the past when Chu Mo was at the Foundation Establishment phase, a Golden Core cultivator could not bear this move.
After doing this, Chu Mo didn't get up. He sat there, took out some more fish feed from his pocket, and tossed it into the pond.
The goldfish, which had been startled earlier, couldn't resist the temptation of food and swam back to it.
This scene left the remaining eight cultivators looking at each other, not knowing how to react.
They had come here with an aggressive attitude, specifically to find trouble. But the host did not go along with their intentions, leaving them all somewhat dumbfounded.
At this time, Chu Mo casually said: "Look at these fish, they were just frightened and scattered. But now, with the food available, their desire for sustenance has triumphed over fear. They have come back to get it."
One of the cultivators at the Primordial Infant realm was looking at Chu Mo coldly and said in a deep voice: "Brat, aren't you too arrogant? Our first encounter and you severely injured one of us!"
Another Primordial Infant cultivator coldly said: "Why bother talking to him? He injured our companion, he should pay the price!"
The remaining six cultivators at the late Golden Core stage didn't speak, but their eyes looking at Chu Mo were all cold. From the looks in their eyes, it seemed as though they were looking at a dead man.
"Interesting." Chu Mo dusted off the fish feed residue from his hand, then he abruptly stood up.
The two cultivators at the Primordial Infant realm stood there without moving, but the six cultivators at the late Golden Core stage simultaneously stepped back. After exchanging glances, they saw the embarrassment and fear in each other's eyes.
How can Lu Tianming, a simple Golden Core cultivator, possess this suppressive aura that matches a Primordial Infant?
"You all just barged into my house uninvited. A group of ignorant people ran to my house, pointing at my nose and called me arrogant. Is this the style of your esteemed sect?" Chu Mo glanced at the two leading Primordial Infant realm cultivators and said calmly: "You guys should be from the Lingyue Sect, right?"
"How did you know?" The leading Primordial Infant cultivator frowned, a bit surprised. Though his question acknowledged their identity, they were not planning to conceal their identities in the first place.
As members of the most powerful sect here, they didn't need to hide anything they did.
How did Chu Mo know? He recognized them from the attire of a Lingyue Sect disciple who was invited by Fang Lu and Du Fei on one occasion!
Chu Mo didn't know at the time that the man was from the Lingyue Sect. It was later told to him by Fang Lan.
Chu Mo had a good memory, and remember the Lingyue Sect disciple's attire very clearly.
The clothes of these people today were exactly the same as the one the disciple wore, except for the color which was slightly different. It was clear that their identities and statuses were higher.
"Tell me, why are you here causing trouble?" Chu Mo asked indifferently: "No matter what you do, you always need a reason. There is no grudge between me and your Lingyue Sect. You wouldn't be seeking me out to cause trouble without reason. So tell me your reason, let me think about how to deal with you."
"Oh?" A cultivator at the Primordial Infant realm didn't want to be affected by Chu Mo's imposing aura and deliberately sneered: "Since you know we're from the Lingyue Sect, aren't you frightened? And, can you tell me how you plan on dealing with us?"
"Heh, I've heard a lot about an incredible person in Jinxiu City, who is held in high regard by the Three Great Families. It seems it's true. But boy, just because the Three Great Families respect you, doesn't mean we have to!" Another Primordial Infant cultivator sneered from the side.
But Chu Mo didn't look at the one who was talking behind him. He looked at the Primordial Infant cultivator who had spoken before: "First, I clearly am not afraid of you; you can see it as me putting on a show, or having the confidence, it doesn't matter. In any case, I am not afraid! Second, how will I deal with you?"
Chu Mo said these words, then his gaze scanned over the group: "This totally depends on why you are here!"
"And...if we are here to kill you?" The voice of one late-stage Golden Core cultivator echoed from behind the two Primordial Infant realm cultivators. He sneered, confident in his safety.
"Then I'll have to kill you." Chu Mo looked at them seriously: "Then bury you in my courtyard to fertilize my flowers."
