Chu Mo then went to the backyard to meet the Fire Dragon.

"Senior Fire Dragon, can you handle a cultivator at the half-step Spirit Refining Realm?" Chu Mo looked at the Fire Dragon and got straight to the point, "A group of formidable enemies has arrived. They've split into two groups, with one already entering Jinxiu City."

The Fire Dragon slightly furrowed its brow and did not answer Chu Mo. Then it closed its eyes and dispersed a divine thought. After that, it opened its eyes, which now contained a hint of cold light, and said coldly, "A bunch of worthless fools dare to run wild in my territory!"

"Do you have a way to deal with them, Senior Fire Dragon?" Chu Mo asked, looking at the dragon.

"No," the Fire Dragon answered tersely.

"...," Chu Mo, with a full head of black lines, looked at the Fire Dragon, "Are you teasing me?"

The Fire Dragon said seriously, "I am sealed inside this wine cup, and the power I can exert is very limited. I've told you before that my true strength, in this world, can only be displayed at the peak of the Primordial Infant Realm. My dragon's prestige can indeed deter everyone, but if there's someone who isn't afraid of the dragon's prestige... like you, for instance, you freak."

Chu Mo rolled his eyes.

The Fire Dragon continued, "Humans are very cunning and despicable. They have developed some dharma instruments specifically designed to counter various types of intimidation. If that's the case, I can only ensure they won't be able to enter this City Lord's Mansion."

"What about the whole city you promised?" Chu Mo looked at the Fire Dragon, somewhat disappointed.

"But they have already had people come in. Of course, if they don't have dharma instruments that counteract intimidation on them, then I still have confidence in suppressing them here," the Fire Dragon said confidently, "Without anything to counteract it, my prestige could even force them to undergo Dao Conversion!"

Chu Mo nodded. "Alright, then you just defend this City Lord's Mansion for me!"

Then, Chu Mo called over Xiao Wanjun and Li Fangzhong and instructed, "You two, stay here. I have a few dharma instruments from the Immortal Realm here; they can be directly operated with immortal crystals. They should at least ensure safety for several days. Along with Senior Fire Dragon's help, I believe those people won't be able to invade the City Lord's Mansion."

Xiao Wanjun and Li Fangzhong took the dharma instruments, their eyes brimming with awe.

Xiao Wanjun muttered, "These are immortal artifacts!"

"I've only heard of them before, this is my first time seeing one!" Li Fangzhong joyfully caressed the dharma instrument in his hands, unable to put it down.

"Alright, these few dharma instruments, I'll give them to you later. Even in the Immortal Realm, their grade is quite high," Chu Mo said.

"Thank you, Master!" Xiao Wanjun and Li Fangzhong both bowed deeply in gratitude.

Looking at these dharma instruments, the Fire Dragon commented lightly, "With these dharma instruments, the assurance of defending the City Lord's Mansion without loss has increased a lot!"

Chu Mo nodded, then left the backyard and returned to his room. He looked at everyone and said, "In the next few days, just stay here temporarily. If... I mean if, I don't return in a few days after I go out, and the force attacking the City Lord's Mansion gets stronger, then... you all should hide in the Illusory God Realm."

"You, you're going out?" Miao Yi Niang furrowed her brows and looked at Chu Mo, "Isn't that too dangerous?"

Chu Mo shook his head slightly. "At worst, I can also hide in the Illusory God Realm. Don't worry, those people don't understand, they think entering the Illusory God Realm means leaving our physical bodies outside. But now, if we enter the Illusory God Realm, our entire physical body goes with us, leaving no trace in this world. However, doing so... would mean completely destroying our foundation in the Spirit Realm. It's the last resort; don't use it unless absolutely necessary, because leaving means giving up."

Chu Mo spoke, looking at Lu Tianqi beside him as he smiled, "Later, you can leave the City Lord's Mansion. I believe those people won't trouble you. If they really do question you, just answer their questions honestly. Tell them everything you know."

"I would never betray you!" Lu Tianqi's face suddenly reddened, and she glared at Chu Mo angrily, "What kind of person do you take me for, Chu Mo?"

While Chu Mo had been making arrangements just now, Lu Tianqi had felt very uncomfortable, as if, besides herself, everyone else in the room was close to Chu Mo, leaving her the only outsider.

Now that Chu Mo had said this, Lu Tianqi's anger became uncontrollable.

"Miss Tianqi, I think you misunderstand," Chu Mo said, not minding Lu Tianqi's temper, and patiently explained, "A family like the Ouyang Family, with such deep roots, definitely didn't achieve this randomly. They are not easy to deal with, but they also have their principles and limits. If it really comes to that, it's okay to tell the truth, and you can even tell them outright that I said, 'If anyone dares to touch any one of you, I will make sure the entire Ouyang Family cannot find a foothold in the Heavenly, Immortal, and Spirit Realms! Every child of the Ouyang Family will face catastrophic destruction!'"

Lu Tianqi stared at Chu Mo, her eyes filled with disbelief.

Chu Mo smiled and pointed at Qin Shi and Dong Yu beside him, "These two are princesses from a great clan in the Heavenly Realm! The Ouyang Family knows this, so this time, even if they can't defeat us and we actually leave the Spirit Realm for the Illusion God Realm, the Ouyang Family wouldn't dare make any further moves. Unless they can suppress us all at once with overwhelming force."

Qin Shi said calmly, "Yes, they have their strategies, and we have our methods. Respecting our enemies does not mean fearing them; fundamentally speaking, we are already in an unbeatable position."

Looking at Chu Mo, Dong Yu suddenly said, "That jade flute..."

Chu Mo nodded, "It's perfect for dealing with these people."

Qin Shi was taken aback and looked at Dong Yu, "You actually gave that jade flute to Master Chu?"

Dong Yu's face turned slightly red but she didn't respond.

Qin Shi didn't say anything more, just gave Dong Yu a meaningful look and then smiled, "With that dharma instrument, the Ouyang Family is going to suffer a huge loss this time!"

Dong Yu replied indifferently, "In this Spirit Realm, we were supposed to be invincible! It's just unfortunate that we're only in the Golden Elixir Realm right now; there are too few dharma instruments we can wield at this level. Wait until we reach the Primordial Infant Stage, hmph!"

This seemingly lively and cute girl burst forth with an astonishing aura.

At that moment, everyone seemed to feel the aura of a princess from a great clan in the Heavenly Realm emanating from her body!

Qin Shi also nodded and said, "Once we get through this challenge, we'll quickly advance to the Primordial Infant Stage." Looking at Chu Mo, she added, "This time, it will be tough on you."

Chu Mo nodded, "It's what I ought to do!" Chu Mo spoke and then immediately left with a flash, "I'm off. You all be careful and don't leave the city!"

At that time, the atmosphere in the room seemed to lighten.

This caught Miao Yi Niang, Shen Xingxue, and Huang Hui off guard, as they had been used to the tension. The atmosphere had been so heavy; how had it suddenly... become so relaxed?

Looking at the demeanor of Chu Mo, Qin Shi, and Dong Yu, it seemed they weren't taking the fiercely advancing Ouyang Family too seriously.

Then why the earlier tension?
