Upon arriving at the area meant for chores, Chu Mo looked at the chaos and furrowed his brows. He didn't expect that the living quarters for workers in such a large sect were so abysmally poor.

It was now that Chu Mo realized the reason behind the expressions of relief he had seen on the faces of the crowd at the square. Indeed, if he were truly Chen Jiu, it would feel like being demoted from the Immortal Realm, this punishment was akin to being relegated to a pigsty in the mortal realm.

It was an outcome most people would struggle to stomach.

"Senior Brother Chen, this is the place. Just choose any room you like." The outer sect disciple who escorted Chu Mo spoke politely, but he couldn't disguise his delight.

Chu Mo gave him a cold stare, "What's your name?"

The disciple shivered and left without a word.

Chu Mo watched his retreating figure thoughtfully. It seemed that Chen Jiu had a significant bad reputation in Lingyue Sect!

Because the disciple had left in a hurry and not explained anything, the workers looked at Chu Mo with puzzled expressions, unsure of what was happening.

Most of them didn't even recognize "Chen Jiu", the infamous scoundrel of the Lingyue Sect. They might have heard of him but had never seen him. After all, the social gap between them was immense!

However, they could clearly see his clothes.

An inner sect disciple!

A proud disciple of the Lingyue Sect had come to a place like this? What does he want?

A sense of unease filled the hearts of many workers.

Chu Mo coldly glanced at the crowd, his eyes filled with contempt, "Clear off! What are you all staring at?"

The workers dispersed in haste.

After fleeing a considerable distance, they suddenly thought: This is our territory! Why should we obey him? But they didn't have the courage to return and confront Chu Mo.

Chu Mo smiled to himself. If Chen Jiu were not such a detestable person, with his status, being a villain seemed interesting.

Cultivation is about understanding life. Understanding the good is important, but knowing the bad is equally crucial!

Otherwise, one day when you encounter a cunning and ruthless cultivator, you might not even know how you died.

At that moment, the supervisor of the area for chores came over trembling. After realizing that he had forgotten to pass along a message, he told the supervisor about the incident. The supervisor was an outer sect disciple at the early stage of Foundation Establishment.

This outer sect disciple had undoubtedly heard about Chen Jiu and was thrilled about the punishment, but soon he grew worried.

Though Chen Jiu, an inner sect disciple, had been punished and sent to work here, his level of cultivation and previous status were far beyond what this minor supervisor could handle. And yet, as per the rules, he had to deal with him. The supervisor was afraid that Master Chen would create more problems here.

Though the work here was mundane and it was the lowest rank position in the sect, the supervisor had substantial power and was able to scrape together a little for himself each year. He did not want to risk his future just because of this troublemaker.

"Um, Master Chen? You're here..." The supervisor of the chores area frowned and greeted from afar, "What can I, um... do for you?"

All the other workers had been chased away, so it didn't matter if he lost some face. As long as Chen Jiu didn't cause trouble, it would be fine.

Chu Mo wasn't Chen Jiu, so he wasn't interested in the people or affairs here. He merely glanced coldly at the disciple, "Find me a quiet room and don't bother me. I'm in a bad mood!"

"Yes! Yes! I will arrange for the best room for you right away!" The supervisor was overjoyed, he hadn't expected Master Chen to let him off this easily.

Yes, Chu Mo ordering him around rudely made him very happy.

It was a hundred times better than dealing with a big tantrum!

This person couldn't possibly stay here for long. After all, he was a disciple in the late stage of Foundation Establishment. After a period of punishment, he should be called back. Perhaps, if he served him well, there might be good things in it for him in the future.

That's what the supervisor was thinking.

"No need, I'm not here for a vacation." Chu Mo scanned the surroundings with a look of disgust, "Just find me a quiet place."

"Alright, I'll take you there now!" The supervisor enthusiastically led Chu Mo to a particularly tranquil cave.

The cave was surrounded by birds singing and flowers scenting the air with a rich spirit energy. Though it didn't match up to the areas lived in by the inner disciples, for this area, it was definitely the best place!

Chu Mo glanced at the supervisor and softened his tone, "You, not bad!"

The supervisor felt as if he had received unexpected favor, his heart bloomed, sweet as honey. He thought to himself: People say that Master Chen is notorious in Lingyue Sect for his domineering ways. But he doesn't seem as terrible as the rumors suggest. He even praised me!

"Alright, you can go now. Remember, don't let anyone bother me for no reason." Chu Mo glanced at him and spoke indifferently.

"Yes, Master Chen, rest assured, starting from today, no one will dare to loaf around here!" The supervisor patted his chest in assurance. Then politely asked, "Do you want me to find some servants for you? I assure you nobody will object..."

Chu Mo raised his head, squinting at the supervisor. His gaze made the supervisor feel uncomfortable. Chu Mo said coldly, "I daresay you don't understand. I don't want anyone to bother me. I don't like the people you'll find."

"Yes, yes, Master Chen, I'm leaving right away! Don't be angry!" The supervisor's heart raced; it felt as if he had misstepped in trying to ingratiate himself. Thankfully, Master Chen didn't blow his top. Master Chen is indeed a good man!

Afterward, the supervisor left tactfully.

Chu Mo looked around at his surroundings, smiled a little, and thought: As expected of the sect that's the largest within a million-mile radius, even the workers' quarters have such a high concentration of spirit energy.

The place he had seen before was the worst part of the workers' quarters, but his current location wasn't too bad. The spirit energy here was much denser than Jinxiu City. At least twice as dense!

That's why many people, despite giving up their supremacy in their territories, chose to join a sect for cultivation. There is a reason for it.

With these thoughts in his mind, Chu Mo entered the cave dwelling.

Inside, it was fully equipped and clean, but there were no signs of it being lived in before.

This place must be reserved for important guests by the workers' quarters... Chu Mo touched his face and smiled bitterly, guessing that it was probably for people like himself, "punished" with a few days of vacation in the workers' quarters.

But, I am not one of your Lingyue Sect disciples!

I'm here to cause havoc!
