At this moment, a crowd of people stood on top of the city tower in Jinxiu City. Among them was the Jin Family's acting patriarch, Jin Xian, who looked extremely solemn and serious.

Next to Jin Xian were members of the Lingyue Sect. They watched as a group of people hurtled towards them from afar, frowning in unison. Finally, someone recognized two of the figures and cried out, "Damn it… it's the God of Slaughter returning!"

"Oh my God… it's Lu Tianming!"

"This is terrible, the God of Slaughter is back!"

"Run! The God of Slaughter is back again!"

These disciples of the Lingyue Sect were well aware of how terrifying this God of Slaughter was. They had no idea why Lu Tianming would even dare to return to Jinxiu City. But they did know that there would be no way for them to survive if they stayed here. Nearly involuntarily... they began to scatter in retreat.

Because when Chu Mo had previously left Jinxiu City, he declared that he would kill anyone who dared to hurt a single person from Jinxiu City!

Now, not only have they gone after a resident of Jinxiu City, but they've targeted the engaged man of the God of Slaughter's disciple!

Only a madman would choose to stay here in such a situation.

Jin Xian was not mad, he wanted to flee too. The moment he recognized Chu Mo, he became cold all over, terror seizing him entirely!

He had never imagined that things could line up so coincidentally. He had come here today to put on a performance, intending to negotiate with the Lingyue Sect to reclaim Jin Ming's body. He had even shed a few tears earlier for the benefit of those around him.

He wanted to prove the deep bond between him and his brother, presenting Jin Ming's death as a consequence of defiance against the Lingyue Sect's elders...

In this way, he could completely remove himself from all blame in this incident. After all, everyone already knew about Fang Lan being kidnapped by the Lingyue Sect. It would be logical for Jin Ming, as her betrothed, to do something drastic.

But he never expected that, as if by Heaven's Will, Lu Tianming, the God of Slaughter, would return at a time like this!

At this moment, Xiao Wanjun, who was by Chu Mo's side, suddenly radiated a terrifying aura, overwhelming the entire Jinxiu City like dark clouds descending. He swiftly suppressed these Lingyue Sect disciples who were trying to escape.

Including Jin Xian, everyone's legs were shaking, they couldn't stand, and they all fell to their knees.

Despair filled their hearts.

Just the presence of Lu Tianming alone was enough to terrify them. They never expected another powerful figure to appear.

Jin Xian was kneeling there, trembling all over, filled with regret. If he could have remained patient for a while longer and not rushed to kill Jin Ming, how could he find himself in such a passive situation now?

Like a flash of lightning, Chu Mo appeared on top of Jinxiu City's city wall. His cool gaze swept over the crowd. Finally, his eyes rested on Jin Xian. A look of surprise crossed his face: "Jin Xian, what are you doing here?"

To Chu Mo's surprise, he recognized Jin Xian but had no significant interactions with him before. He only knew that Jin Xian was the eldest legitimate son of the Jin Family, and the future patriarch. He assumed that at this juncture, all clans in Jinxiu City should be opposing the Lingyue Sect. So why was Jin Xian together with these people from the Lingyue Sect?

A trace of suspicion crept into Chu Mo's heart.

Jin Xian, who was nearly suffocated by Xiao Wanjun's Primordial Infant aura, managed to squeeze out with some difficulty: "It's good that you're back, Brother Tianming. I... I came here to claim my brother's body... sob..." As Jin Xian spoke, he couldn't help but burst into tears, "Poor my brother, he went to save Fang Lan, but... but he was found out by these people from the Lingyue Sect, and they killed him on spot... It's just so tragic!"

With that, Jin Xian couldn't help but burst into loud sobbing.

Fang Lan, who was leaning against Chu Mo, had just woken up. After hearing these words, she spewed out a mouthful of blood. Her body swayed precariously and she nearly passed out again.

Chu Mo held onto Fang Lan's wrist, channeling some spirit energy into her as he said in a serious tone, "Stay strong. Get your revenge on Jin Ming! However, if you wish to cry… wait until we settle this matter first!"

Chu Mo sighed softly as he prepared to console Jin Xian. But he suddenly noticed that the Lingyue Sect disciples were all glaring at Jin Xian, seemingly very discontented with his words! Chu Mo's heart sank as he felt that something was amiss.

He then turned to the Lingyue Sect disciples and said coldly, "You people are really bold. It seems like during the last time in Jinxiu City, I didn't killed enough of you!"

At this moment, one of the Lingyue Sect disciples, knowing full well that he was doomed, still couldn't help but shivering as he said, "Young Master Lu... This isn't our fault. It's Jin Xian... this damn bastard betrayed his own brother!"

"That's right, it was he who informed us about his brother attempting to leave Jinxiu City through the secret tunnel of the Jin Family. Only then did we manage to intercept him!" said another Lingyue Sect disciple.

At this time, Jin Xian's face was twisted in rage as he shouted, "You're spouting nonsense, making false accusations! Brother Lu, you must not believe them. Knowing that they are going to die, they want to drag someone down with them!"

"Spit!" A high-ranking official of the Lingyue Sect glared at Jin Xian, spitting resentfully, "The truth is, you wanted to kill your own brother, and then throw the blame on us. Don't even think about it!" With this, the official, who was at the peak of the Golden Dan realm, stared at Chu Mo and said through gritted teeth, "The one with the surname Lu, I truly admire your courage to return here. Although we are no match for you and are ready to die, our Sect Leader will surely avenge us! However, this person with the surname Jin is not any better. The information about his brother's whereabouts was indeed sold by him to us!"

"Brother Lu, they are slandering me. They're manipulating the truth! Don't be fooled by them!" Jin Xian sobbed, "That was my own brother, my own flesh and blood, born to the same mother as me. Even if I'm crazy, I can't possibly harm my own brother!"

Chu Mo frowned at Jin Xian. In his heart, he had pretty much figured out the truth already. But without evidence, he couldn't directly confront Jin Xian.

At this moment, one of the Lingyue Sect disciples said with a shaking voice, "Lu Tianming, I have the evidence right here!"

With that, he retrieved a letter from his bosom and tossed it to Chu Mo, then sneered at Jin Xian, "Bet you didn't expect me to still have this letter. I am lucky that I held onto it. Otherwise, you would have succeeded, beast!"

Jin Xian didn't expect that the other party would have kept the letter, and he instantly collapsed, falling to the ground.

With this letter in hand, his guilt could be confirmed. Because in order to prevent others from knowing about this matter, Jin Xian had personally written this letter!

When the time comes, Chu Mo just had to compare it to an earlier writing sample; a matching handwriting would expose his lie.

Truth speaks louder than eloquence, so even if Jin Xian had a hundred mouths, he would not be able to defend himself at this moment.
