Dongfang Changsheng also loudly cursed at this moment, "It's your own stupidity for believing everything. We're already at the point of no return, yet you still believe in these kinds of tricks from me? We've already killed, what reason do you still want? Whatever I say, you just believe it? If it's not because you're an idiot, then what is it?"

The head of the Hu Family also retaliated with a ferocious onslaught of curses.

For a time, the September Sect and the Hu Family became sworn enemies, paying little attention to the people from the Zhong and Ping families and fighting each other in a chaotic battle.

Chu Mo watched from the side, his mouth twitching, and turned his gaze toward the head of the Ping Family, "Is this the grace of top clans and major sects of the Spirit Realm? Is everyone like this?"

The head of the Ping Family gave an awkward smile, "All's fair in war... All's fair in war, right?"

Chu Mo was rendered speechless, gaining a new understanding of the shameless faces of these influential figures. Indeed, it refreshed Chu Mo's cognition of the power players in the Cultivation Realm.

Even in the Mortal Realm, the strife between the nobles and great houses seldom resulted in such thrilling twists. The desertion in the midst of battle was shocking enough, but then influential figures themselves entered the fray, and their deceit was so convincingly real down to the minute expressions that even Chu Mo almost believed Dongfang Changsheng's words at the time.

The head of the Ping Family reflected for a moment, then said in a ghostly voice beside Chu Mo, "Though all claim to be top-tier, in reality, none doesn't wish to be the only one..."

Suddenly, Chu Mo seemed to understand.

In the end, it was because aside from the Ping Family, these clans did not regard him as their true great enemy! It was even possible that the Ping Family... at that time did not consider him a real enemy either!

In their eyes, the only great enemy was each other!

So, whenever there was a chance to annihilate the opponent, no one would let it go!

This had nothing to do with Chu Mo's battle power. Not considering Chu Mo a true great enemy did not mean they looked down upon him.

It was because Chu Mo was just a passerby in the Spirit Realm, bound to leave sooner or later!

Even if Chu Mo were to establish a significant power in the Spirit Realm, to truly rise to prominence, in their view, would require at least hundreds or thousands of years, if not thousands, a duration they simply didn't care about!

The Spirit Realm was vast beyond belief, home to countless large and small clans. Without a true rise to power, there wouldn't be excessive focus from the top forces.

Another point was the example set by the Ping Family. Deep down, they didn't particularly fear Chu Mo.

Because they believed they had found Chu Mo's weakness!

That was... Chu Mo's heart wasn't ruthless enough!

Despite Chu Mo subsequently destroying Dugu Mountain and shocking the world, the top forces believed that as long as they bowed down before Chu Mo, the outcome wouldn't be too bad! Because the only grudge between them and Chu Mo was their past desire to flatten Jinxiu City!

But they had failed!

As long as they ensured they would not repeat the offense, indeed, the grudges between them could be resolved.

Wasn't Chu Mo just seeking to establish his might, to ensure that all the cultivators in the entire Spirit Realm wouldn't dare to trouble him in the future or provoke the forces behind him?

He had achieved it!

He became famous throughout the world!

From the Ouyang Family to the Ping Family, and then to Dugu Mountain, he had completely deterred everyone in the Spirit Realm!

It was enough!

For the remaining forces, when the critical moment arrived, choosing to kneel and beg for mercy like the Ping Family, pledging never to offend again... one does not kill beyond what is necessary. What else could he do?

Even Chu Mo had to admit that if these powerful forces could all do this, he really could not bring himself to indiscriminately wipe them all out.

Sometimes, being forceful is necessary. But too much force could bring adverse effects.

He was ultimately going to leave the Spirit Realm.

So this trip was all about establishing his authority!

As long as the goal of establishing dominance was achieved, that was enough, as for how it was done, it wasn't really the most important thing.

Therefore, there are actually many clever people in this world, and the thoughts of those great figures are much deeper than Chu Mo's!

The Hu Family was not foolish, either; they simply misjudged the situation. Hu Badao, the one who spoke for the Hu Family, was not as shameless as the other families. Coupled with the asymmetry of information, they did not expect that the Zhong Family and the Ping Family had already secretly colluded.

That's why they suffered such a big loss.

Although Chu Mo had also figured everything out, he was still very unhappy about being used by these top powers for their purposes.

No one likes being used!

The head of the Ping Family said solemnly, "The Ping Family firmly stands on the Young Master's side."

In Chu Mo's eyes, whether he explained himself or not was all the same. However, since the Ping Family had stepped up to support him during his time of crisis, he had to acknowledge this favor. Even though there was a sense that they were using him, Chu Mo could not take it too seriously.

At this moment, the four top powers had completely engaged in a chaotic battle, turning it into an all-out melee.

Chu Mo, the person involved, now had nothing to worry about. He just stood there and watched the excitement.

At that moment, Chu Mo suddenly thought of something and looked at the head of the Ping Family: "The people who came today... are they really all the elite forces of these top powers?"

Each family seemed to have a tacit agreement, with just over four thousand, but no more than five thousand people.

Among these people, the vast majority were cultivators at the peak of the Golden Core stage, and many of them were not young. Each family had about four to five hundred Primordial Infant cultivators, accounting for about one-tenth of their total strength.

This force was certainly powerful enough, but Chu Mo had a feeling that these might not be all the elite forces of these powers.

Given the strength of these families and sects, it wouldn't be too difficult for each of them to send out a thousand Primordial Infant cultivators.

The head of the Ping Family smiled lightly, "Of course it's not all of our forces." With that, he gave Chu Mo a meaningful look: "The Young Master, with his own power, annihilated the entire Dugu Mountain, which is indeed overwhelmingly strong. But does the Young Master really think that all the disciples of the entire Dugu Mountain... have all been wiped out?"

"That is certainly not possible," Chu Mo shook his head, he was not that deluded.

A top sect of the Spirit Realm, occupying hundreds of millions of miles of mountains and rivers. The people associated with them amounted to over ten billion, didn't they?

Among them, the number of cultivators, big and small, was at least ten million!

Even if he had directly destroyed the ancestor court of Dugu Mountain and killed their elite, it would not have been possible to completely exterminate all the disciples of Dugu Mountain.

However, how many of those who survived would dare to seek revenge in Jinxiu City in the future was a different story. After all, the number of people who could truly disregard their own lives was limited. How many could knowingly approach certain death and yet still go to their demise?

The head of the Ping Family chuckled, "It's not just a matter of impossibility."

Chu Mo gave him a look.

The head of the Ping Family said earnestly, "The Ouyang Family has truly been hurt to the core. They've suffered heavy losses among their elite, but their foundation... is still very strong; the Fire Sect, can only say they've lost a part, the demise of those two bloodline geniuses has certainly hurt them, but it hasn't reached the point of a crippling blow; as for Dugu Mountain... they indeed suffered the heaviest losses. But in my view, they still retain a strong foundation! These top families and sects have been through too many storms throughout the long history. The contingencies and preparations they have left behind are all very comprehensive. There are few who could completely uproot them unless it's a full-scale war between great powers, a truly fierce struggle to the death. But now, these powers truly fear the Young Master to the extreme. So even if they can rise again in the future. As long as the Young Master is in the Spirit Realm, they will definitely not provoke the Young Master again."

Speaking, the head of the Ping Family smiled faintly, "As for the current battle..."
