The young wife slightly furrowed her brows and her face seemed to show a bit of displeasure. Although she was inexperienced and quite naive, she wasn't foolish enough to be completely oblivious to everything. It was just that she had always been unwilling to deliberately show her astuteness. Therefore, to many people, this young wife appeared to be a very simple and easily deceived woman.
She was not completely unaware of the dark and dirty dealings within the sect. However, she also knew well that it was inevitable for such issues to arise in a large sect. It wasn't something she could stop on her own. Yet today, the greed on display was particularly unseemly.
Seeing the indifferent expressions of the others, the young wife felt somewhat angry and thought, "It seems they are already accustomed to such matters. Is the reputation of the Netherworld Ancient Sect already much worse than I had imagined?"
This won't do. I must stop this from happening!
As the young wife was thinking about what to say, she suddenly heard the young man opposite her say indifferently, "Oh? You mean to say, everything in this storage ring of mine was found in the ruins?"
A disciple of the Netherworld Ancient Sect coldly nodded, "Isn't it?"
Chu Mo couldn't help but laugh silently. He had already obtained what he truly wanted—a suspected Chaos Blood Moon, which could also mask the aura emitted by his bloodline and physique. For Chu Mo, this was already a tremendous gain.
As for the storage ring, honestly, if it were in the Spirit Realm, it might still cause a bloodbath, but in the Immortal Realm, a common storage ring was merely worth a little money. Chu Mo really didn't care much for it.
So, Chu Mo looked at the disciple of the Netherworld Ancient Sect and said indifferently, "Then, I'll give it to you along with the ring. Can I go now?"
With that, Chu Mo walked past the somewhat stunned disciple of the Netherworld Ancient Sect and headed outside with composure.
"You stop right there!" the disciple of the Netherworld Ancient Sect suddenly seemed to remember something and yelled loudly at Chu Mo, "Take off all your clothes right now, I suspect you're hiding other things!"
At this remark, the young wife's eyebrows furrowed even more intensely. She already found the previous actions excessive, and this was simply even more so.
It was outright bullying.
Chu Mo stood there, feeling the visible and invisible fluctuations around him and sighed softly, "Friend, there should be limits to what you do. You wanted the storage ring, and I've given it to you. Whether I've obtained any treasures from the ruins, even if you can't tell, those great powers around here surely can. Is it enjoyable for you to make things difficult for me like this?"
Many people began to see Chu Mo in a new light, realizing that this young man, despite facing the enormous force of the Netherworld Ancient Sect and choosing to yield and retreat, still managed to remain dignified and calm. This courage was indeed commendable.
But the calmer Chu Mo appeared, the more displeased the disciple of the Netherworld Ancient Sect felt inside. He wanted to see this young man weeping and begging on his knees. He wanted to see him kowtow continuously, slapping himself to curry favor!
Yet, this person's calmness made him feel agitated.
"Are you seeking death?" the disciple of the Netherworld Ancient Sect glowered ominously at Chu Mo, "Do you know that with just one command from me, you'll never leave this place alive."
"What more do you want? I've already given you what you wanted," Chu Mo said to the disciple of the Netherworld Ancient Sect indifferently.
"I want you to strip completely, proving you have nothing hidden..."
"Enough!" the young wife said with a slightly flushed face, "Let this matter end here! Let's not bring it up again!"
With that, the young wife looked at Chu Mo, "You may go."
The disciple of the Netherworld Ancient Sect raised his eyebrows slightly, as if wanting to say something, but he first glanced at the expression of the tall, thin man.
Seeing the tall, thin man shake his head slightly, the disciple of the Netherworld Ancient Sect reluctantly scoffed, "Kid, you're lucky today! But if I see you again, you definitely won't be so lucky!"
Chu Mo gazed deeply at the disciple of the Netherworld Ancient Sect. "I'll remember this." Then, he nodded slightly to the young wife as a gesture of gratitude and turned to leave.
From start to finish, none of the powerful beings from the ancient Netherworld sect who lurked in the shadows stepped forward to stop him.
Because their divine senses had already swept over Chu Mo countless times, they were all too aware of whether Chu Mo possessed anything of interest.
Only the Netherworld sect disciple who had troubled Chu Mo, his cold face still tinged with frustration, played with the storage ring in his hand, muttering, "What a poor wretch! Finally got in once, yet managed to bring nothing out."
The young woman looked at him with some disgust, said nothing, and turned to walk away, unwilling to associate with these shameless people.
Chu Mo quickly left the area, glancing around, and began to sprint in the direction marked as the Buddhist sect on the map.
Netherworld sect, I will remember you!
A cold glimmer flashed in Chu Mo's eyes. Had he not been eager to proceed toward the Buddhist sect, this matter would not have ended so easily.
Chu Mo quickly adjusted his mindset, and by the afternoon of the next day, he suddenly felt as if someone was tracking him from behind.
The feeling was very, very faint, like fishing—the bite was very light! Even if you stared intently at the float, it would be hard to discern.
"Who is tracking me?" Chu Mo wondered. He pondered whether it could be a disciple of the Netherworld sect or someone else.
With this sensation, Chu Mo's progress and movements became much more cautious. Unless it was a master tracker, it would not be easy for an ordinary person to detect his whereabouts.
However, his pursuer also seemed quite adept at the art of tracking, and no matter how careful Chu Mo was, they always seemed to catch up a few days later.
In this way, a tacit understanding developed between them.
Chu Mo did not actively seek out this person, and this person... also did not show themselves.
One day, Chu Mo had already traveled far from the territory where the Netherworld sect had discovered the relics, arriving in an extremely unfamiliar territory.
Of course, the entire Immortal Realm was very strange to Chu Mo.
He wasn't familiar with any place.
He walked through the void, cultivating while he progressed, and simultaneously, he was also strengthening his secondary primordial spirit!
Now Chu Mo could occasionally allow his primordial spirit to leave his body for hundreds of miles!
However, this kind of primordial spirit projection, still being of a Yin nature, could only occur at night. Before dawn, it had to return to the original body.
The person who might be tracking him, while Chu Mo was cultivating, seemed to be cultivating as well.
After so many days, Chu Mo had even grown somewhat accustomed to the presence of the other.
But his vigilance had not truly decreased.
One night, Chu Mo controlled his secondary primordial spirit to leave his body and roam the Heaven and Earth, feeling quite at ease, when suddenly a cold intent descended from the sky!
Like a sharp long sword, it directly targeted Chu Mo's secondary primordial spirit.
