Chu Mo stood there, turned his head to look at Kang Bo, and coldly said, "Kang Bo, can't you just leave it alone?"

"Me? What do you mean I can't let it go? Chen Jiu... I'm telling you, you're finished this time!" Kang Bo stared coldly at Chen Jiu, a hint of vengeful satisfaction in his eyes. He sneered, "I suppose you didn't expect it, but I've already reported what you did. Do you have any idea how much medicine Liu Hai's adventure group brings in for our Lingyue Sect every year? Do you know how much of a loss it would be for us at Lingyue Sect if they leave? Even if you were a favored disciple of an elder, this time... you will be severely punished!"

Chu Mo was momentarily taken aback, giving off a feeling of both anger and fear. With a forced toughness, Chu Mo said: "Kang Bo, do you even know what time it is? Didn't you hear what the Sect Leader just said?"

Kang Bo sneered, "It's precisely because of what the Sect Leader just said that they are planning to punish you! At such a time, you disregarded the greater good for your own selfish gain by driving away Liu Hai and his adventure group... Think about the consequences of your actions, Chen Jiu. I, Kang Bo, am not one to beat someone when they are down, but this time, you've crossed the line! Just wait for your punishment!"

Kang Bo's deep-seated hatred for Chen Jiu was due to the fact that Liu Hai's adventure group was under his charge!

And the only group worth being proud of under Kang Bo, was this very adventure group. How much benefits they brought annually to the Lingyue Sect wasn't particularly important to Kang Bo. However, Liu Hai was very smart and competent, the wealth he brought to Kang Bo annually was a considerable fortune!

Not all cultivators walk on the path of cultivation seeking the Great Dao or longevity... some do it for wealth and fame! Not every cultivator can walk far on this path. Many people, for their whole life, might only achieve Foundation Establishment.

But even a Foundation Establishment cultivator would be seen as a deity by common people!

With incredible powers, capable of flying around...

That's why cultivators at the Foundation Establishment realm, once they return to the secular world, can easily achieve great prestige and status.

Kang Bo didn't plan to stay in Lingyue Sect for his entire life. He also wanted to leave one day, start his own small clan, nurture a small force, and then gradually expand it. Over these years, he had been working hard towards that dream.

His luck was good and his efforts were sufficient. Over these years, Kang Bo had become a genuine tycoon in Lingyue Sect, although it didn't seem that way from the surface.

He was even prepared to leave the sect and go back home in a few years, and make more contributions to the sect in the secular world.

By then, with Lingyue Sect backing him, a great deal of wealth on hand, and resources to nurture talents!

Being rich, becoming a local magnate, would not only be a dream.

However, he had never expected that this dream would be ruined by Chen Jiu!

How difficult it would be to find an adventure group leader as understanding as Liu Hai in the future?

So when he learned about this, he was so angry that he wanted to tear Chen Jiu apart. He didn't know that the real Chen Jiu had passed away quietly. If he did, he probably would have applauded.

At this moment, a stern-looking middle-aged man walked over from the side. He looked at Chu Mo with a stern look, and coldly said, "Chen Jiu, do you plead guilty?"

Chu Mo glanced at the middle-aged man who had arrived, he didn't recognize him, but he could only put on a wronged expression, imitating Chen Jiu's mannerisms, "I... I don't know... "

Hiss!

Around him, there was immediately a wave of contemptuous hissing. Everyone looked at Chu Mo... or accurately, Chen Jiu, with eyes full of hatred and disdain.

Seeing the middle-aged man, Kang Bo immediately said coldly, "Chen Jiu, are you still stubborn at this point? You even dare to lie in front of Elder Guo!"

Rolling his eyes, Chu Mo spread his hands and sneered, "You believe the random accusations of a bunch of rogue cultivators rather than the words of your own sect member? I have... nothing to say to you!"

"You..." Kang Bo was infuriated to see that Chen Jiu was still denying his wrongdoing.

However Elder Guo, who was beside him, stopped Kang Bo with an authoritative look. He glanced at Chu Mo and said, "Now isn't the time to argue with you. We need to accomplish the Sect Leader's command. You... will be demoted to a menial worker, report to the menial division first!"

"What? Elder Guo... you can't do this!" Chu Mo shouted, "They are slandering me!" But in reality, Chu Mo was almost about to burst into laughter.

A menial position would be fantastic!

No one pays attention to menial workers. Having the status of an "inner disciple", who among the real menial workers of Lingyue Sect would dare to mess with him? Based on Chen Jiu's bad reputation, the menials would more likely avoid him.

This way, he will have enough time and space to do what he wants.

But before this, he had to show sufficient fear and anger, to let the others know how unwilling he was.

"Enough, stop talking nonsense! This case is not over yet! Chen Jiu, don't think you can fool everyone with what you've done all these years. You know exactly how many times you've extorted and blackmailed others. When we finish dealing with the current most important matter, I'll settle the scores with you!" said Elder Guo before leaving with a sweep of his sleeves.

"Haha, wonderful! This rotten meat, Chen Jiu, is finally kicked out of the inner disciples!"

"Just a rotten meat? He's literally a cancer! It was him. Last year, he even tried to flirt with my Dao companion. He is so shameless!"

"Menial worker... Hahaha... what's more, this case is not over yet, I guess, if things go south, he might even be expelled from the Sect!"

"He's basically already expelled now. Wanting to go from a menial worker back to an inner disciple... that's harder than climbing to the sky!"

"He deserves it!"

"Yes, he deserves it!"

In the not yet completely dispersed crowd, many people had joyful looks on their faces.

Chu Mo had a wronged and indignant expression on his face, along with anger towards those around him. However, inside, he was incredibly pleased and somewhat reflective.

Originally, he had intended to wipe out the entire Lingyue Sect!

However, after seeing these people's actions today, Chu Mo had somewhat changed his mind. He decided to only target those rightfully deserving.

There were a large number of young disciples in this sect, who were not that bad or wicked. They were ordinary cultivators. If they no longer possessed a sense of justice, they probably wouldn't hate Chen Jiu so much.

Then, amidst the disdainful and joyful gazes of a group of people, Chu Mo was led by a disciple to report to the place where the menial workers lived.
