Qin Shi moved stealthily in the depths of Lingdong Mountain, continuously avoiding the disciples of Lingdong Mountain as well as some forbidden areas. Anger still fluttered in her heart, and she even found it hard to believe that what Chu Mo had told her was true!

How could the people of Lingdong Mountain be shameless to such an extent? How could they dare to do such a thing? Have they gone mad?

As Qin Shi gradually calmed down, the murderous intent in her eyes grew stronger because she had somewhat guessed the intentions of the people of Lingdong Mountain!

To slap the face!

To humiliate Chu Mo harshly!

And at the same time, forcibly... crudely... drag Chu Mo into this affair!

Because Lu Tianyue was Chu Mo's friend!

From now on, Chu Mo had to act as if nothing had happened and fully support Lu Tianyue. When she was in trouble, he would have to protect her.

And he could not do anything to the person who had defiled Lu Tianyue, otherwise, Chu Mo would be endlessly defamed.

"You really have calculated everything! But have you considered our reaction?" A cold glint flashed in Qin Shi's normally peaceful eyes.

This former princess of a great Heavenly Realm clan was not someone ordinary people could fathom once she lost her temper.

Chu Mo had just made a deduction, due to being extremely close and with Lu Tianyue being here, after reaching out to Lingdong Mountain, he directly deduced that Lu Tianyue would soon face a calamity.

And this calamity was related to her chastity!

Chu Mo was alarmed at that moment, not to mention his friendship with Lu Tianyue. He could not just watch her be defiled!

Not to mention that he had come this time specifically to fetch Lu Tianyue.

If such an incident were to occur during the time he was at Lingdong Mountain… then Chu Mo would blame himself for the rest of his life!

This grudge could be suppressed for the time being, to be settled later.

But the safety of Lu Tianyue had to be the utmost priority!

The importance of chastity to a girl goes without saying, especially for a woman like Lu Tianyue, it is even more so.

Chu Mo could not imagine how he would face Lu Tianyue if this event were to actually happen.

Therefore, he gave Qin Shi a location, while he himself stayed ready to reach out to the entire Lingdong Mountain at any moment, controlling the volatile situation at hand!

If it seemed likely to get out of control, he would intervene at the first opportunity.

No matter what, he was determined to protect Lu Tianyue first and foremost.

On the other side, Chu Mo was suppressing the rage in his heart as he followed a high-ranking steward of Lingdong Mountain to their reception hall.

Because Chu Mo had been silent from the beginning and his pace was fast, the high-ranking steward who had wanted to get close to Chu Mo had no choice but to match Chu Mo's speed by walking faster.

Soon, they reached the hall specially used by Lingdong Mountain for receiving guests.

The master of Lingdong Mountain, Qingzhouzi, stood at the entrance of the hall with a group of elders, all wearing smiles as they greeted their guests.

From a distance, Qingzhouzi cupped his fists towards Chu Mo, "Young Master Chu graces us with his presence, making Lingdong Mountain shine! Ha, ha, ha!"

Qingzhouzi's laughter was distinctive, staccato, and his face was aglow with a beaming smile, seemingly very happy.

This made the elders by his side filled with bewilderment, thinking if he was so enthusiastic, why didn't he welcome them from farther away? Even if you don't want to lower your status to greet Chu Mo, you could have let us go!

Chu Mo glanced at Qingzhouzi, then swept his gaze over the elders beside him who were smiling with some effort. He nodded slightly, "I am here for only one thing, beyond that, I do not wish to entangle with Lingdong Mountain in any other matters."

Chu Mo looked at Qingzhouzi, "Hand over Lu Tianyue."

Perhaps not expecting Chu Mo to be so assertive, Qingzhouzi was slightly taken aback, and those uninformed elders beside him also froze, their brows silently furrowing. In any case, they were members of Lingdong Mountain, and at this moment, Chu Mo's words brought displeasure in their hearts.

"Young Master Chu is joking, whatever it is, let's go inside and talk it over slowly," Qingzhouzi said to Chu Mo with a smile.

"There's no need," Chu Mo looked at Qingzhouzi, "Where is Lu Tianyue, I want to see her now."

"Young Master Chu, after all, Lu Tianyue is my disciple," Qingzhouzi's smile faded as he looked at Chu Mo seriously, "and... your way of demanding someone's presence at the door seems a bit too forceful, doesn't it?"

The other uninformed elders of Lingdong Mountain also looked at Chu Mo with anger, finding the young man with a sky-shaking reputation to be a little too overbearing!

Even several elders felt ashamed for their previous thoughts of defecting to Jinxiu City. They thought, luckily they did not really do so, otherwise, under the hands of this young man... wouldn't they die of frustration?

"Qingzhouzi, right? I don't want to talk nonsense with you; I hope you don't deceive yourself," Chu Mo said in a deep voice.

"How dare you! What right do you have to talk like this on Lingdong Mountain? Are you so great just because you are powerful?" An elder of Lingdong Mountain, no longer able to restrain himself, glared at Chu Mo aggressively, "We welcomed you with the highest courtesy at Lingdong Mountain, where have we failed you? Lu Tianyue is a disciple of Lingdong Mountain, why should we hand her over to you? Who do you think you are?"

"He has the right, and I have even more!" Lu Tianqi, who was beside Chu Mo, stood up and glared at the speaking elder, "I am Lu Tianyue's younger sister! What wrong has my sister done? Why have you locked her up? She may be a disciple of Lingdong Mountain, but she's not your servant! You have no right to do this!"

"Shut up, you little girl!" The elder, being a confidant of Qingzhouzi, was bound to stand by Qingzhouzi's side no matter what.

Lu Tianqi's eyes turned bright red with anger, "What wrong has my sister done..."

"She disrespected her elders, and displayed disloyalty and unfilial conduct!" Qingzhouzi shouted coldly and then looked at Chu Mo, "I had intended to have a proper exchange with Young Master Chu and then administer a mild punishment to teach Lu Tianyue a lesson for the future, but unexpectedly, the renowned Young Master Chu turned out to be such a person!"

Chu Mo took a deep breath, gazed at Qingzhouzi, and said gravely, "Qingzhouzi, take the chance while it's not too late to mend. I, Chu Mo, am not that easy to manipulate!"

A jolt raced through Qingzhouzi's heart, and he suddenly had an ominous premonition. Yet, he did not believe Chu Mo could know the decision he had just made.

That's impossible!

He couldn't possibly know!

Aside from a few of my confidant disciples, no one knows about this!

As Qingzhouzi thought to himself, he became even more certain and looked at Chu Mo coldly, "Young man, your power may be strong and unmatched, but this world still operates on reason! Lu Tianyue is a disciple of Lingdong Mountain, and there is no possibility of handing her over to you! Your behavior will certainly incur the condemnation of the entire Spirit Realm!"

Dong Yu and Huang Hui could almost confirm that there was definitely danger to Lu Tianyue at this point. Otherwise, Chu Mo would never have dispatched Qin Shi just now. Yet, both women still felt uncertain.

Qin Shi was very powerful, and she had many trump cards, but the problem was... this is Lingdong Mountain!

A not insignificant major sect!

Qin Shi was just one person, could she really manage?

Chu Mo looked at Qingzhouzi, first briefly closing his eyes to gather his thoughts, then opening them with a murderous glint in his gaze, "Old Wang, you're done for!"
