Qin Shi seemed to sense everyone's confusion and said softly, "He is anxious because he's worried about the safety of all of us!"

Dong Yu nodded, "The battle can't take place here, otherwise... this city will collapse!" Dong Yu said, then glanced at Lu Tianqi beside her, "What he's most concerned about is actually all of you."

"What?" Lu Tianqi was stunned there.

"Because you can't enter the Magical Realm." Dong Yu looked at Lu Tianqi, "He truly considers you as his friends."

"He's a good person," Qin Shi said.

"A friend? A good person?" A strange feeling welled up in Lu Tianqi's heart, and then her face turned slightly red as she said softly, "Then, I'll go back first, I still need to go back to the clan and make some arrangements!" With that, she ran off as if escaping.

Miao Yi Niang sighed softly and said, "Another one!"

"Like moths to a flame..." Shen Xingxue's mouth twitched as she muttered softly.

"Haha, she'll figure it out after a while," Hua Xiaoya said with a light laugh at the side, "Liking someone is not the same as loving them, it's just that he's too outstanding!"

Yes, being handsome, good-natured, and very excellent, such a young man naturally attracts affection, which is perfectly normal.

"Save it, he's already taken," Huang Hui muttered on the side.

Fang Lan burst into a chuckle at this, then felt it was a bit impolite and quickly stifled her laughter, turning her face away. However, she thought to herself, these sisters are really interesting, each of them liking the master so much that they couldn't stand it, yet verbally they were all disclaiming it.

Both Qin Shi and Dong Yu had thoughtful expressions on their faces.

...…

Chu Mo walked out of the City Lord's Mansion and headed straight for the city outskirts.

At that moment, the members of the Ouyang Family, who had been secretly watching the City Lord's Mansion, immediately passed the news back.

Soon after, in that small inn, all the Ouyang Family cultivators couldn't help but get excited. Then they turned to look at Ouyang Suo, the half-step Spirit Refining cultivator, waiting for his orders.

"Could he have sensed something?" Ouyang Suo frowned slightly.

"That can't be, can it? Ancestor, we've been here for many days. If there was something to sense, he should have noticed it long ago. But all this time, there's been no stir on his end," a Primordial Infant pinnacle cultivator said.

"I also don't think he has sensed anything. It must be that he has some business to attend to outside the city. If he truly is leaving the city, then this is our best opportunity! If we suppress Chu Mo, then the others... are simply not worth mentioning," another Primordial Infant pinnacle cultivator said.

"In that case, keep a secret watch on his movements. If he really leaves the city, determine his direction and send people to set up immediately!" Ouyang Suo ordered solemnly, "This operation is crucial for the future rise and fall of our entire clan! We must succeed at once!"

"Yes, sir!" Everyone responded in unison, their eyes all shining with determination.

Soon after, someone reported back, "Ancestor, that kid really left the city. He seemed completely unaware of anything unusual and strolled right out of the north gate."

"Good, immediately notify the others, set up an ambush three thousand li north of the city... get the arrays ready, and everyone's actions must be quick!" Ouyang Suo's eyes gleamed as he said coldly, "It's our turn to take action. As long as we drive him into the ambush we've set, this matter... will already be more than halfway to success!"

"Hmph, that kid will never expect us to have set up an 'Absolute Heaven and Earth Connection' array!" An Ouyang Family cultivator said with a cold, smug smile, "By then, even if he wants to enter the Magical Realm, he'll find... no way up to the heavens, no entry to the earth!"

"This time... he absolutely has no chance of escape!"

A group of mighty cultivators from the Ouyang Family all revealed triumphant expressions on their faces. Even Ouyang Suo, the old ancestor, couldn't help but show a faint smile.

In their eyes, Chu Mo was a turtle in a jar, with absolutely no possibility of escape.

North of Jinxiu City, Chu Mo stood outside the city gates, gazing into the distance.

Merely relying on a cultivator's divine sense, one could not detect any abnormalities. Yet, through the Technique of Energy Observation via the Fengshui Divine Art, it was easy to sense the chaotic aura in the sky three thousand miles to the north.

Powerful auras from numerous fields soared into the sky!

"A grand move indeed!" Chu Mo couldn't help but commend inwardly, surprised by the opponent's swift actions.

Chu Mo stood there, as if pondering something, but in reality, he was covertly operating the Fengshui Divine Art.

"The Absolute Heaven and Earth Connection, huh?" Chu Mo frowned, then a hint of a cold smile flashed across his face as he thought to himself, Indeed, it is a great family with profound resources in the Spirit Realm that could have such methods. Setting up such arrays, the resources consumed must be an astonishing number, right? What if I changed direction now? Would they cough up blood?

As Chu Mo thought this, a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth, and then he strode toward the west!

Three thousand miles away, a group of cultivators from the Ouyang Family soon received a message through a communication stone—Chu Mo had headed west!

"Damn it!" One cultivator cursed, infuriated, "Did that little beast discover us?"

"Impossible! All of us are carrying dharma instruments that block divine sense; that kid couldn't possibly sense anything abnormal!" someone asserted confidently.

"Then why has he headed west? Damn it, we've already set up more than half of it!"

"Stop complaining. Collect what we can recycle, and leave the rest there for now! Fortunately, we have brought enough resources!" a Primordial Infant peak-stage cultivator ordered calmly.

Soon after, Chu Mo saw faint fluctuations appear again in the sky thousands of miles ahead in the direction he faced.

Chu Mo's mouth bore a trace of a cold smile as he turned and headed south. This time, Chu Mo directly took to the skies, flying high above, as if inspecting his own territory.

The Ouyang Family members who were frantically setting up the arrays were dumbfounded, feeling the urge to vomit blood. The leading Primordial Infant peak-stage cultivator was especially furious, roaring into the communication stone, "Ancestor, what are you doing? Hurry up and force him over here! If we fail again this time, we won't have enough resources for the Array Formation!"

The Ouyang Family had brought just enough resources to set up two arrays of this scale. Their original plan was to lure Chu Mo into the array. Who would have thought that he would come out on his own, and then, as if making a mockery of them, fly around aimlessly.

You say, why the hell are you not cultivating in seclusion in your residence, instead coming out for a pointless stroll?

Ouyang Suo and others who had followed out of the city were also panicked. At this moment, they could no longer afford to startle the snake in the grass, so they revealed themselves and rushed directly towards Chu Mo with inconceivable speed!

Almost all the Primordial Infant cultivators released their own aura and swarmed towards Chu Mo.

If they could take care of Chu Mo on the spot, it would be the best outcome!

And Chu Mo, the instant they made their move, seemingly with foreknowledge, sped directly south.
