"Ouch! Not bad at all! Very convincing!" The innkeeper was somewhat surprised, finding it hard to believe that the esteemed cultivator Du Song could play the part of a waiter so convincingly. To those unaware of his true identity, it would be really difficult to spot any issues."

Afterward, Du Song picked up a food box and a kettle of boiling water, and with a brisk stride, he walked towards the small courtyard.

Upon reaching the courtyard gate, Du Song coughed softly, then called out in a clear voice, "Is anyone there? I'm a waiter from the inn, bringing you some food."

After waiting for a moment and hearing no response, Du Song called out again.

At that moment, a faint voice came from inside, "I didn't order any food."

"Good sir, this was instructed by our shopkeeper..." Du Song said somewhat nervously, his facial expression very genuine, "The shopkeeper said that you are a distinguished guest, having been here several days without having anything to eat... He told me to bring you something."

"No need." The icy voice came from inside once more.

"Er... Alright then." Du Song dared not probe further, turned around, took the food box, and walked back. But in his heart, he already harbored strong suspicions.

Before being awakened by the Fu Family, he was just an ordinary cultivator, but he was a smart man. Instinctively, he found the guest staying there highly suspicious. Afterward, Du Song returned to the innkeeper, changed back into his own clothes, and slipped out of Distant View City quietly by himself.

He didn't dare to use a messaging stone to contact the Fu Family within the city for a simple reason. If the man and woman indeed were the people the Fu Family was looking for, they definitely wouldn't be ordinary individuals. If they both possessed extremely high cultivation levels, his actions just now could very likely have raised their alertness. If they deployed their divine sense and focused on him, they might discover him using the messaging stone to contact someone.

Therefore, even when leaving the city, Du Song still wandered around for more than an hour, ensuring there was no issue whatsoever before he finally sneaked out of the city. Once outside, Du Song began to move swiftly, flying towards the distance.

With the strength of a peak Primordial Infant phase, he was indeed quite formidable. In the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, he had already left Distant View City far behind.

"This should be far enough, right?" Du Song muttered to himself, then took out the messaging stone from his body. His mood became tense and excited. If the man and woman staying in Distant View City truly were the two individuals the Fu Family was searching for... then he, Du Song, could rise to greatness from this moment on!

It would definitely be considered a great achievement!

Just at that moment, suddenly, from behind Du Song, came a voice, calm yet filled with endless coldness, "Little waiter, what are you doing?"

"Who's there?" Du Song turned around abruptly, at the same time slapping fiercely towards the other person.

In an instant, he mobilized his magical power and, in the void, condensed a small sword as long as a pair of chopsticks, which together with his slap, ferociously struck towards the other person!

It must be said that ordinary cultivators also have their own means of preserving their lives.

This move of Du Song's, if faced with an average opponent of the same realm, might have actually worked.

His slap was incredibly fierce, capable of shattering a mountain peak!

The small sword formed of magical power was even more mighty and indestructible!

The person standing behind Du Song naturally turned out to be Chu Mo.

In the face of Du Song's slap and sword, Chu Mo showed no change in expression. With a gentle sweep, the supposedly indestructible small sword in the void instantly dissipated, not even a sound could it make.

Then, Du Song's mountain-shattering slap was caught by Chu Mo in one hand.

Crack!

A faint sound of bones cracking rang out.

"Hiss... Ouch!" A pained cry escaped from Du Song's throat.

Crack crack!

Another sound of breaking bones followed, and Du Song's palm was completely crushed!

"Ah!" Du Song finally couldn't bear it any longer and let out a scream of agony.

Having his palm crushed so brutally, the pain penetrated deep into his bones, nearly causing Du Song to faint from the pain.

However, Chu Mo didn't let go and directly struck Du Song's elixir field with his palm.

Bang!

Du Song felt as if all the strength in his body had vanished in an instant!

Sealed!

The other party was an unbeatable powerhouse!

Such a thought flashed through Du Song's mind for an instant, followed by an endless surge of regret.

Why did he have to probe? Knowing that there was a man and a woman living here, wasn't reporting it enough? Why did he feel the need to confirm it?

Now it was all over... He would probably even lose his little life here.

Thinking of the gentle and soft wife at home, his three adorable children, and the two young, beautiful, and intelligent concubines... Tears suddenly flowed from Du Song's eyes.

In the end, he was just an ordinary person! A cultivator living in the Immortal Realm, the most ordinary of them all.

He had never undergone any intelligence training, nor had he experienced the cruelties of life. So, at this moment, his heart... had completely collapsed. Filled with remorse and immeasurable fear.

"You dare to provoke me, someone like you?" Disdain flickered in Chu Mo's eyes.

"Please... let me go... I, I was wrong, I don't want to die, I don't want to die!" Du Song wept bitterly, completely breaking down.

"Speak for yourself." Chu Mo released Du Song's hand and stood in front of him, looking at him coldly.

"I... I am a deep-cover agent that the Fu Family has planted for many years, my ancestors were once members of the Fu Family's intelligence organization... This time, the Fu Family activated the communication stone left by my ancestor..." Du Song honestly confessed everything he knew, even including some of his guesses.

In the end, disregarding the excruciating pain from his crushed palm, he fell to his knees: "Please let me go... I have told you everything, I will never dare to again... Woohoo, I'm just a minor character, killing me or not doesn't make any difference to you. I also have a large family... and... three children."

Chu Mo looked at Du Song and said softly, "You know, I also have a large family, I also have girls I like. If I had not been vigilant today, then they all would have suffered later on. And you... would have taken this opportunity to become a hero in the Fu Family, and from then on, you would have lived a life far from ordinary."

Chu Mo's voice was very soft, his tone very faint, as though the sound drifted in from Beyond Heaven: "If you had not harbored any greed, then now, as well as in the future, you could live a happy and contented life. Although it would be ordinary... there would be no crises. Unfortunately..."

"Please..." Before Du Song could finish speaking, a bloody hole appeared in his forehead. Blood gushed out from there profusely.

Afterward, the Primordial Infant within his elixir field desperately rammed into the seal, trying to break free and escape.

Chu Mo stretched out his hand, grasped at the void, and pulled Du Song's Primordial Infant out of his elixir field.

When the Primordial Infant saw Chu Mo, it wept bitterly, kowtowing and begging for mercy.

Chu Mo sighed, tapped the void several times, and in an instant, the Primordial Infant was immobilized, unable to move at all, gazing at Chu Mo with a face full of terror.

Chu Mo said indifferently, "I will erase your memories from today and give you a chance to live. Remember, a peaceful life is a blessing."

With that said, Chu Mo formed several hand seals, and a powerful force instantly sealed Du Song's Primordial Infant, erasing all its memories of that day. Then, Chu Mo flicked his finger, and Du Song's Primordial Infant, like a sharp arrow, shot towards the distant void.

Was it an act of mercy? Not really. Such a minor character, just as he himself said, whether he lived or died... it didn't really matter. But Chu Mo still ended his life, though sparing his Primordial Infant. Du Song's life would also be completely changed.

Because he had to understand one thing: in this world, for every action, there is a price to pay!
