Chu Mo was slightly stunned, his eyes narrowed as he looked at the middle-aged man in a yellow robe whose arm had been cut off but who remained unflinchingly composed.

He did it on purpose!

Chu Mo thought to himself that even though his strike just now was fierce, he had only intended to intimidate the imposing yellow-robed middle-aged man, not actually cut him down to dust.

But to his surprise, the man hadn't tried to dodge at all and had directly taken the blow with one arm.

He had never seen someone like this before.

What is he trying to do?

Chu Mo watched the man approaching.

"Your Majesty!" From atop Dugu Mountain, the multitude of Dugu Mountain cultivators let out an angry roar.

The crowd was electrified!

The feeling of despair that had filled everyone's hearts instantly vanished, replaced only by boundless courage and infinite rage.

This man... he actually cut off their king's arm with one strike!

We will kill him!

Boom!

At once, dozens of powerful auras surged up, blanketing the sky above Chu Mo.

At this moment, Dugu Linlie spoke up, "Stop!"

The group from Dugu Mountain all froze, their faces showing expressions of grievance and unwillingness. With a shrill voice, someone cried out loudly, "My king... why?"

Dugu Linlie's eyes emitted a cold light and, despite having lost an arm, his authority was undiminished: "Everyone, stand down!"

"My king!"

"Your Majesty!"

"We cannot accept this!"

A group of people were howling with rage.

"Stand down!" Dugu Linlie ordered again.

The dozens of soaring auras finally began to fade away slowly.

Dugu Linlie descended from the sky and landed in front of Chu Mo, blood still flowing from the wound where his arm had been cut off. His yellow robe was dyed red with blood, but he calmly stared at Chu Mo, "The order to attack Jinxiu City came from me, Dugu Mountain. You have killed hundreds from Dugu Mountain. Have you relieved your anger?"

Chu Mo looked at Dugu Linlie without saying a word.

Dugu Linlie continued, "If you have, then from this day onwards, Dugu Mountain will no longer involve itself in anything related to Jinxiu City or to you. We will also not reveal your information to the Spirit Realm. Our grudge can be wiped clean with this."

Chu Mo was still silent; he didn't like the other's assertive tone. They had been brought to this state, yet they still sought to maintain their dignity. While he could understand that this was a great clan's fundamental pride, from Chu Mo's standpoint: Why should he?

"If you haven't let off steam, then go ahead and kill me," Dugu Linlie said as he looked at Chu Mo. "I am the head of Dugu Mountain, and I gave the order to attack Jinxiu City. It was my decision alone. After killing me, you should be able to let off steam."

"Killing you will let me let off steam?" Chu Mo said coldly, looking at Dugu Linlie. "I want to annihilate your entire clan!"

Dugu Linlie's eyes remained unchanged as he replied lightly, "Why bother? Based on your behavior with the Ping Family, you don't seem like a person who revels in killing. Why insist on a massacre?"

"You're not the same as the Ping Family," said Chu Mo.

Dugu Linlie thought for a moment and then nodded, "Indeed, although Dugu Mountain and the Ping Family are both top families in the Spirit Realm, the Ping Family... indeed lacks the spirit of Dugu Mountain."

"So, why should I let such a significant threat continue to exist in this world?" Chu Mo looked at Dugu Linlie, "Give me one reason?"

Dugu Linlie's expression finally changed. He looked at Chu Mo with some difficulty and said, "Then, what would it take for you to stop?"

"If from the beginning, your Dugu Mountain had been like the Ping Family, I might have already stopped." Chu Mo looked at Dugu Linlie. "But even knowing my combat prowess, you still tried to kill me, again and again... A large number of experts ambushed me. I was able to make it here because I am strong enough. Otherwise, I would have been dead many times over."

" Those people actually took matters into their own hands," Dugu Linlie sighed faintly. "Of course, I tacitly allowed it. Dugu Mountain... needs to maintain this kind of vigor. We must have that spirit that never dies. But today, we truly met our match."

"You can commit suicide; after you do, I promise not to trouble Dugu Mountain anymore." Chu Mo looked at Dugu Linlie. "When you do something wrong, you should be punished. If the cost of making a mistake is too low, then no matter who it is, they would probably take wrongdoing lightly. They'll think, what's the big deal? Kneel and admit defeat, apologize and admit fault, and then it's all over. It might work with others, but not with me."

Dugu Linlie let out a sigh, "Not even if I give an arm?"

Chu Mo remained silent.

Dugu Linlie thought for a moment, "If my death could allow you to spare Dugu Mountain, then this matter..."

"King! You can't agree!"

"No, King! You can't die!"

"If you die, he won't keep his promise!"

"King... You can't do this!"

Suddenly, a mournful cry emanated from Dugu Mountain.

At the same time, a large number of Dugu Mountain's senior members couldn't help but reveal themselves.

One of the elders from Dugu Mountain, with a face full of grief and indignation, pointed at Chu Mo and yelled loudly, "Chu Mo... enough! The mass slaughter caused by you... is already severe enough, are you not afraid of karma haunting you?"

"Chu Mo, don't be too bullying! Even if you can dominate in the Spirit Realm, there are people in the Immortal Realm who can kill you! My Dugu Mountain also has some foundation in the Immortal Realm!" another elder roared.

"Chu Mo, if you force our king of Dugu Mountain to his death today, we from Dugu Mountain will stop at nothing to retaliate against you!" an elder screamed frantically.

Chu Mo looked at the group that had suddenly appeared before him, watched their agitated faces and hateful eyes, and suddenly laughed, "The vigor of Dugu Mountain... Is it finally running out? Have you started to make threats now? Do you think... I would be afraid of that?"

"You may not be afraid... but what about those people around you? Will you never leave?" one of the Dugu Mountain elders was somewhat mad now, roaring at Chu Mo.

As soon as he said this, Dugu Linlie sensed trouble but was utterly unable to prevent it. His face became extremely grim!

Hadn't this entire incident escalated to this point precisely because they wanted to target the people around Chu Mo? If it were just about direct hatred, who among these people had any personal grudge against Chu Mo?

The Ouyang Family didn't even participate in this attack on Jinxiu City, yet they were suppressed miserably, why? Wasn't it because they aimed to interfere with Chu Mo's friends?

At such a time, to actually utter such threats to Chu Mo, was their brain filled with shit?

"Stop talking nonsense!" Dugu Linlie rebuked loudly.

However, it was too late.

"Dare to threaten me?" A cold smile suddenly appeared on Chu Mo's face, but that smile, no matter how one looked at it... gave a chilling sensation.

"Friend Chu Mo... please don't!" Dugu Linlie shouted loudly.

But Chu Mo's figure had already turned into an illusion, directly grabbing the elder from Dugu Mountain who had just threatened him.

Chu Mo grabbed the elder's hair with one hand, forcibly dragging him out of the crowd!

The whole process happened in less than an instant!

Everyone was unable to clearly see Chu Mo's actions!
