Chu Mo's slash was not only swift and fierce, but it also carried a strong sense of anger within. Heaven Slaying itself was a divine artifact, and although Chu Mo couldn't utilize any cultivation power, a slash infused with emotion was still terrifying to the extreme!

The knight was cleaved into two by Chu Mo on the spot, with both halves of his body falling to the ground. The warhorse, frightened, bolted away.

The horses in the sinister land looked very different from those outside, as if they were a different kind of creature. But their temperaments were more or less the same.

The remaining knights dared not stay any longer. They all ran as fast as they could, hating that their horses were not fast enough, snapping their whips with loud cracks.

Chu Mo did not pursue but stood there with a tinge of regret, watching the already dead young girl's body. He sighed and said, "She didn't have to die, if she were born outside..."

"This cannot be blamed on you. It can only be said... that this is the law of survival in the sinister land," Wang Zhong came over, patted Chu Mo's shoulder, and said, "Come and sit at my place."

Just then, Chu Mo's chest erupted with a surge of heat from the Azure Sky Divine Mirror.

A shock went through Chu Mo's heart, because this was the Azure Sky Divine Mirror giving him a warning!

There was no one else around, the only person was the elder Wang Zhong.

Could it be?

Chu Mo found it hard to believe, because from beginning to end, he had not felt any malice from Wang Zhong. On the contrary, Wang Zhong had been helping him.

How could such a person want to harm me?

However, in the end, Chu Mo still trusted the judgment of the Azure Sky Divine Mirror.

That "Avoiding Disasters" blood moon was by no means a mere decoration.

Chu Mo was shocked inside but showed no change in expression, and nodded, "Then I will impose on you, senior."

"It has been many years since I've interacted with people. You've seen what the people in this sinister land are like. They are not like normal human beings at all. They have human thoughts... but their behavior is more like that of animals. There is no kindness in their bones, let alone any mercy. All the bright spots of humanity are hard to find in them," Wang Zhong said with some emotion and then led Chu Mo toward his dwelling.

His residence was not far from here, just a short walk away, about the time it takes to burn an incense stick.

It was a house built of logs, looking orderly, quaint, and rustic, with a sense of original ecology.

After the elder entered the house, he quickly started a fire and then took out a teapot to heat on the stove. He said, "In this place, there is not much good stuff, but there is a tea that is quite nice!"

Saying this, he took out a pottery jar, and upon opening it, a refreshing scent wafted out. Wang Zhong said with a smile, "This is probably the best thing in the entire sinister land. This tea, if sold outside, would definitely fetch a sky-high price because after drinking it, one can directly comprehend the Great Dao! Of course, how much one can understand depends on the individual's talent. But a tea that can directly take one into the Daoist Realm is rare enough indeed."

Chu Mo nodded, surprised, "There is such a wonderful thing in the world? I must try it!"

Wang Zhong smiled kindly, "Yes, this tea is my greatest find in this sinister land."

At this time, the water had boiled, and Wang Zhong carefully counted a few leaves, dropping three into each porcelain cup. He even looked at Chu Mo with a smile and said, "Don't blame me for being stingy, this tea is really scarce, and three leaves... are already enough!"

Chu Mo nodded, but he was somewhat worried as he instinctually felt there was something wrong with the tea.

At this moment, there was a slight fluctuation in the divine sense sea, which had been silent for a long time. A divine sense from the Azure Sky Divine Mirror appeared within Chu Mo's divine sense sea.

"But drinking it won't hurt."

The general idea is just that.

Although Chu Mo still harbored some doubts in his heart, he chose to trust the Sky Mirror.

Afterward, Wang Zhong brewed the tea, and the rich fragrance immediately filled the entire wooden hut.

Just the smell alone made one feel as if they were floating, about to become immortal.

Chu Mo couldn't help but praise, "Good tea!"

"Of course. Would you like a taste?" Wang Zhong said as he placed a porcelain cup in front of Chu Mo, then picked up another for himself, slightly closed his eyes, and sniffed it carefully, a look of contentment on his face.

Then, he actively took a sip and let out a sigh, "Delicious!"

Chu Mo imitated him, first smelling the tea for a while, which indeed was very soothing to the heart and mind.

Then, Chu Mo also took a sip.

The rolling fragrance traveled down his throat, and then Chu Mo felt a faint ripple in his elixir field!

Chu Mo was instantly surprised; he hadn't expected that a sip of this tea would make him feel a ripple from his elixir field!

This shocked Chu Mo considerably, and he couldn't help but start to doubt the intentions of the Sky Mirror. According to his understanding of the Sky Mirror over the years, that temperature and frequency were a warning.

But the situation at hand seemed a bit... strange?

However, at this moment, Chu Mo suddenly felt that he had lost control of his body, and the porcelain cup in his hand fell to the ground with a smash, shattering to pieces!

The scalding hot water and those three tea leaves all bounced out.

Then, Chu Mo remained in that position, his body frozen stiff as if he were a sculpture.

"What's happened to you?" Wang Zhong looked at Chu Mo in surprise, as if he had been startled by him.

"I, why can't I move all of a sudden?" Chu Mo's face was filled with shock as he looked at Wang Zhong for help, "Senior... what's happened to me?"

"How could this be?" Wang Zhong circled around Chu Mo a few times, then poked Chu Mo's body with his finger, finding him indeed immobilized, then suddenly burst into laughter, "Hehe, young man, you are still too green!"

"Ah? Senior... what do you mean by this?" Chu Mo looked at Wang Zhong in shock, his eyes full of disbelief.

"I told you before, this is a place of evil! Who would want to stay in such a ghastly place?" Wang Zhong looked at Chu Mo with a smile, "I've told you, people here... can't really be called human. Everyone here has lost their humanity. Of course, that includes me. You chose to trust me willingly, hehe, how naive of you."

"Senior, do you find this amusing?" Chu Mo asked coldly, looking at Wang Zhong, "I once wanted to give the Seven-Colored Fish Scales to you, Senior."

"Oh, oh, oh, oh, I remember, of course I do! But how could a mere Seven-Colored Fish Scale satisfy my appetite? Now that there's a chance for me to leave this dreadful place, why wouldn't I choose more? Like you... a young man with an astonishing qi movement and extraordinary treasures. Hehe, Heaven Slaying... who would have thought that the sword would end up in your hands, the number one artifact through ten thousand ages! It far surpasses the existence of the Ten Heavenly Artifacts!" Wang Zhong praised, then continued, "Actually, I haven't lied to you too much. I am indeed very familiar with Ding Ling, it's just that we never turned against each other. The cultivation technique we practice is the same, called 'Unity of a Hundred Bodies!' It's just that he chose women, while I... chose men! You don't need to look at me with that kind of gaze, it's not as dirty as you think, I have no interest in men! It's just that my method of refinement is different from Ding Ling! I indeed chose the most heinous people for cultivation, but in the end, this is what I've become."

"So you're saying, from the beginning, you had already decided on this plan?" Chu Mo looked at Wang Zhong with a very unpleasant expression, and asked in a deep voice.

"Yes." Wang Zhong looked at Chu Mo, "From the moment that Seven-Colored Golden Fish took the bait, I made up my mind!"
