Tong Tiegang stood in front of a window crafted entirely from a giant crystal, gazing through the translucent clouds at the almost invisible figure in the square below, his eyes brimming with rising rage. Suddenly, he clenched his teeth and said, "I am in the Ascension Phase... He's only in the Spirit Refining phase, he could defeat five Mahayana practitioners, but he simply can't beat someone in the Ascension Phase like me! Why should I be afraid of him? Since he dares to tamper with the protective enchantment, I'll just suppress him directly! Right... Killing him is the way to go!"

Mumbling to himself, Tong Tiegang went on, "If only there were other brothers from the Daoist Sect here now."

Of the Seventy-two Great Abilities, many still remained in the Immortal Realm, but most were scattered in different places, silently nurturing their own forces. At the same time, they were also recruiting disciples for the Daoist Sect.

Much of this group, who had no desire to ascend further to the Heavenly Realm, found establishing their own power in the Immortal Realm and ensuring their prosperity and riches lived on forever to be their greatest wish. Compared to them, Tong Tiegang was one of the least ambitious among the seventy-two great abilities. He thought being surrounded by prosperity and riches was enough. For this reason, he was the only one to continue staying at the Daoist Sect.

After all, he enjoyed the highest status here, receiving treatment akin to that of an ancestral master!

Take, for example, the room he was in now, which used to belong to the founder of the Daoist Sect!

The sense of satisfaction and achievement made Tong Tiegang wake up smiling every day.

Having made his decision, Tong Tiegang's heart was no longer apprehensive. Gritting his teeth, he walked out of his room and began issuing orders to his loyal followers to capture that person at all costs! Preferably, to execute him on the spot!

Although Tong Tiegang wasn't sure exactly what kind of formation the great enchantment beneath the square was, he understood very well that all his glory and future wealth... were all dependent on that enchantment.

If there were any issues with that enchantment, then he, Tong Tiegang, would certainly plummet from grace.

At the edge of the square, beneath the grand mountain gate, the middle-aged fat man was so terrified that his heart was about to leap out of his chest.

As he watched the destruction of the square, his own heart had reached his throat. Had it not been for his attempt to teach that young man, who knew no bounds, a lesson, none of this would have happened. Now, it seemed he had stirred up a disaster far too great!

The middle-aged fat man was clever and understood that if this issue wasn't handled well, he probably wouldn't survive.

He then let out a fierce shout, "You dare to damage the sacred Daoist Sect square? Boy... you're dead! Everyone... whoever it is, as long as you kill him, you will gain the right to cultivate on this square permanently! I'll only acknowledge the person who kills him with their own hands!"

Tong Tiegang, who was descending from midair with a large group of followers, paused slightly upon hearing the middle-aged fat man's words, then a hint of joy appeared on his face. He thought to himself, this fat man is good!

With those words, he figured that most people on the square would harbor a murderous intent towards that person, whether they intended to or not.

With so many people... surely they could kill just one man?

As a result, the anxiety that had gripped Tong Tiegang subsided instantly, and a calm smile appeared on his face. He wanted to see just how tragically that person would die.

The words of the middle-aged fat man indeed tempted many. Immediately, quite a few people walked toward Chu Mo, their eyes overtly filled with murderous intent.

"Sorry, my friend, we too need to survive!"

"Apologies, I want to become stronger, to ascend to the Heavenly Realm!"

"By killing you... I can live a better life! So, I am sorry!"

Many murmured as they walked resolutely towards Chu Mo.

Lin Yu was shouting loudly, "You can't do this! What you're doing is wrong! That fat man is clearly deceiving everyone!"

Regrettably, no one paid him any attention. Even some of those by his side who had previously shown some sympathy for Chu Mo now seemed to have their interest piqued.

This square... was not for a lifetime. After purchasing the Nine Word Mantra, you could only stay on this square for three years! After three years, there was an annual fee, a substantial sum. More than ninety percent of the people present... couldn't afford that sum.

Therefore, the temptation to stay in this square for a lifetime was so great that it went without saying.

On the square, a large number of cultivators were all converging towards Chu Mo.

At first, people were discreet, hesitant, and restrained. But as more and more joined in, some started to panic, wanting to get ahead of others. And so... the whole square descended into chaos in an instant!

Whoosh whoosh whoosh!

One after another, figures were flying towards Chu Mo at extremely fast speeds, like shooting stars.

For cultivators, a few hundred miles was nothing, so... they could almost instantly fly right above Chu Mo's head!

Chu Mo had been standing still without moving, watching more and more cultivators swarm towards him, his face finally showed a trace of coldness.

I originally felt that destroying all your future hopes... was somewhat merciful. After all, everyone's encounters are different, and this might be the greatest and best opportunity in your lives!

But now, I don't feel guilty at all.

As Chu Mo spoke, he lifted his right foot and stamped down fiercely!

Instantly, he activated all the spiritual veins in the surrounding ten thousand miles of mountains and earth, this stomp... was like an attack signal!

All the spiritual veins transformed into vein dragons and began a frenzied attack on the square... or more precisely, on the star formation!

Boom boom boom!

Just as a large number of cultivators had flown above Chu Mo's head, ready to strike, a thunderous roar erupted over the entire square!

The ground underneath... began to crack amidst violent shaking.

An ancient formation rose directly from the ground. As if facing a fatal threat, it started to radiate the light of the Great Dao to protect itself.

If possible, Chu Mo really did not want to completely destroy such a star formation. But at this moment, he had no choice, without bringing down this star formation, not even his own life would be spared!

Chu Mo wasn't so arrogant as to think he could survive the frenzied siege of hundreds of thousands of Spirit Refining and Mahayana period cultivators.

Triggering the earth's veins to attack the formation was also a way to dissolve the countless attacks being launched at him!

The sky twisted, and the ground trembled!

Yet, Chu Mo stood there, calm and composed, effortlessly commanding the elements.

Continuously, he activated the veined power of the mountains and earth here, striking at the star formation with relentless fury.

To avoid being destroyed, the star formation finally began to retaliate, releasing waves of power to shred the attacking veins.

In this process, many cultivators were fortunate enough to be thrown out, while the unfortunate ones... became mixed in, the most fragile of sacrifices.

As for the Daoist Sect's extravagantly grand gate, it had already begun to collapse with a thunderous crash the moment the star formation rose.

Tong Tiegang looked panicked as if he'd lost a treasured relative, and in the instant the grand gate collapsed, he completely lacked any of the composure or vigor expected of a transcendent high-level cultivator. He abandoned everyone... and fled in a panic.
