Chu Mo was instantly startled and looked at the third ancestor of the Blood Demon Sect with a shocked face, this tall and gaunt, ugly man. "What did you say?" he asked.
"Surprised, are you? Is it strange to you why we would want to kill our own boss?" The second ancestor, Qian Tongyuan, with his round belly sticking out, looked at Chu Mo and said, "If the old ancestor doesn't die, then the day he ascends will be the day we three die. Well, there were originally four of us... but Old Five was killed by you."
"What do you mean? I don't understand," Chu Mo said, frowning and looking at the three men, truly confused.
"Let me explain," the fourth ancestor of the Blood Demon Sect, Liu Tianfeng, looked at Chu Mo and said indifferently, "If you were only Lu Tianming, you would already be dead! A person who has killed many of our Blood Demon Sect disciples and our brothers, we could not let him live in this world. But, you are Chu Mo! You are the young genius that even the old ancestor is very wary of... that's a different matter entirely."
Chu Mo said, "If that's the case, why did you set up so many arrays around here?
The arrays were not targeted at you, but to prevent the old ancestor from knowing that we are here and at the same time, to prevent him from overhearing our conversation!" Liu Tianfeng looked at Chu Mo and slowly said, "I think we can cooperate, unless... you do not wish to kill the Blood Demon Old Ancestor."
"Of course, I want to kill him," Chu Mo said coldly. "I will tear his body into thousands of pieces!"
"Then do you know, the Blood Demon Old Ancestor in the Spirit Realm, is just one of the real Blood Demon Old Ancestor's avatars?" Liu Tianfeng said, "And he has a total of one hundred such avatars! However, ninety-nine have already succeeded! Only this one remains, then he can truly accomplish his great divine power!"
Chu Mo raised an eyebrow and said, "I know this is one of his avatars, but I don't know much about the rest. However, the Blood Demon Old Ancestor achieving divine power and becoming supreme should only have benefits and no drawbacks for you. You are all his loyal followers, why would he turn against you?"
"That's because you don't know him!" Liu Tianfeng said coldly. "This avatar of the Blood Demon Old Ancestor in the Spirit Realm is the most important link in his entire plan. Therefore, in order to achieve his goal, he stooped low to make us four his sworn brothers, established the Blood Demon Sect, and then the five of us were known collectively as the Five Ancestors of the Blood Demon. Now, do you understand?"
Chu Mo was stunned for a moment, then said, "You mean to say, for a person of the Blood Demon Old Ancestor's status, becoming your sworn brother is like demeaning himself? So, when he succeeds, he will definitely kill you all?"
"Exactly, you are very smart!" Liu Tianfeng said gravely. "At the time of the swearing-in, we only knew he was an incredible figure, with terrifying strength and numerous magical treasures, so we willingly accepted him as our boss. However, as time passed, we learned more and more, and inside... we grew more and more frightened!"
Qian Tongyuan, with his big belly, bitterly smiled and said, "But by that time, it was already too late. We could only hope that he wouldn't be so heartless, after all, we had done so many things for him."
Wan Dahai scoffed coldly, "But only in recent years have we realized that things are far more complicated than we thought, especially after Old Five was killed by you. His reaction made our hearts grow cold, and we also understood something, if it continues like this... we will all end up dead by his hands."
"Why are you so certain?" Chu Mo asked doubtfully as he looked at the three men. "Even if he is a heartless, arrogant person, he still needs subordinates, doesn't he?"
"Why are we so certain?" Liu Tianfeng scoffed coldly. "We've been with him for hundreds of years! Obviously, we understand him incredibly well! The most important thing... he's not human, he's from the Demon Clan, how could he truly accept our presence? After all, we are people who once became sworn brothers with his avatar. One day when he achieves supremacy and becomes the supreme ruler of this starry sky, what would we small cultivators mean in his eyes? If we never have a chance to leave the Spirit Realm, then let it be. But after accumulating over so many years, it's not an issue for us to one day hit the ascension phase and enter the Heavenly Realm! By then, if we reveal the truth, where would his face end up? How would his true Demon Clan subordinates treat us?"
Qian Tongyuan said, "Only by dying can we be the most appropriate ending for him."
"But we are not willing to accept this." Wan Dahai said.
Chu Mo nodded, "I think I'm beginning to understand. According to what you say, the Ancestor of the Blood Demon Sect indeed can't spare your lives. But why doesn't he take action now?"
"He still needs us!" Liu Tianfeng said, "The plan hasn't come to fruition yet. He thinks he has concealed it well and that we can't detect anything. Heh, just a year ago, he bestowed upon us a great amount of resources from the Heavenly Realm. He told us to diligently cultivate and aspire to achieve the position of an emperor...but all of us brothers are well aware of our limits. What emperor? Being able to step into the realm of Great Luo Golden Immortal and possess a life expectancy of ten thousand years is already the limit for us!"
"So...you want me to kill him?" Chu Mo looked at the three of them, "He isn't that easy to kill, is he?"
"Of course he isn't easy to kill. Don't just look at how you massacred today, virtually wiping out the elite of the Ouyang Family here. But the Ancestor of the Blood Demon Sect could do the same thing ten times more easily! If he were here today, not a single cultivator from the Ouyang Family would have a chance to escape!" Liu Tianfeng said.
"His strength cannot be measured by realms alone. He is also a true Heavenly Genius!" Qian Tongyuan said, "Even though he is not human."
"He is a supreme Heavenly Genius of the Demon Clan! A being who could vie for the supreme position..." Wan Dahai sighed.
"So, what do you want me to do?" Chu Mo looked at the three of them, "Are you telling me his weakness? Or helping me through internal and external cooperation to eliminate him?"
"He has no weakness." Liu Tianfeng said with a wry smile.
"Internal and external cooperation is even less possible. We don't even know where he is in seclusion." Wan Dahai said.
Chu Mo was frustrated, "This won't work, that won't work, then what are you here for? Just to tell me that the Ancestor of the Blood Demon Sect is dangerous?"
"Of course not." Liu Tianfeng shook his head, "The Ancestor of the Blood Demon Sect's seclusion period will be over in one year and three months. After he comes out, he can directly go to capture the princess of the Elf Clan."
A glimpse of extreme coldness flashed through Chu Mo's eyes.
Liu Tianfeng continued as if he had not seen it, "He has no weakness, but... the crucial moment when he captures her will undoubtedly be his most vulnerable time! If we take action against him precisely then, our success rate could reach fifty percent!"
Qian Tongyuan nodded, "Apart from that, we have no other chance!"
"No!" Chu Mo immediately shook his head in refusal, "I will never allow her to be harmed in any way—think of another plan."
