"Alright, I hope you can keep your promise."
Wu Ge had no other choice and turned to fly away from the place.
Watching the receding figure, the Jinyi Young Master sneered, "Fool, the knife is already at your throat, and you’re still dreaming such fanciful dreams? Ultimately, inferior races are so short-sighted..."
To be cautious, he should have escaped last night.
After all, with the Barbarian Slave in hand, a Heart Devouring Poisonous Insect can be refined anyti later; there’s no need to be so anxious.
However, the plan has undergone so slight changes...
"Chen Mo, is that the vessel chosen by Wu Lie?"
"Hah, I didn’t try to find you, yet you ca to ... Since you’re here, leave your life behind."
A trace of ruthlessness flashed in the eyes of the Jinyi Young Master, and his figure transford into a bloody light and vanished.
...
...
Purple Cloud Temple.
The crowd gathered to pray was growing, and the Palace Square was nearly packed.
On the altar, the chanting group recited scriptures and played music, the sound soothing and pleasant, the atmosphere incredibly harmonious, imrsing all the pilgrims who chid in rhythmically.
"Taiji divides into mysteries, and True Martial arises to face calamity. Purple Qi pervades the North Pole, the Golden Palace suppresses Xuanming..."
The voices rged into one, causing the air to vibrate with a humming echo.
In the temple, the massive stone statue seed to absorb so form of energy, its surface shimring with a jade-like luster, and its expression beca increasingly vivid.
Rumble—
Suddenly, the ground quaked fiercely.
The people almost stumbled and fell, and the chanting abruptly ceased as they looked around in confusion.
"An earthquake?"
Before they could react, an even stronger tremor ca, shaking the entire Daoist Temple, tiles rained down like raindrops, and the ground was covered with web-like cracks.
Boom—
Accompanied by a thunderous blast, a giant creature erged from the backyard, breaking through the soil!
Eight tentacles hooked onto the ridge beast, squatting on the roof, its huge head covered with bullet holes, bleeding profusely like a torrential downpour, nearly half of its dozens of eyes were blinded, looking extrely miserable!
"Monster, monster!"
"Help, it’s the Demon Clan! The Demon Clan is here!"
The crowd instantly beca chaotic, screams rising and falling, as pilgrims jostled toward the entrance.
On the altar, the old Taoist frowned, strode toward the chanting group, grabbed the drumstick from one person’s hand, and started rhythmically beating, the chanting suddenly becoming intense:
"Good n and won, chant this scripture sincerely. All sins dissolved, blessings naturally bestowed. Forever bathed in True Martial grace, always dwell in tranquil realms..."
The air fell silent for a mont.
The previously terrified populace halted their steps, their expressions gradually calming, standing dazedly in place, muttering along: "Forever bathed in True Martial grace, always dwell in tranquil realms... Forever bathed in True Martial grace, always dwell in tranquil realms..."
Seeing the situation stable, the old Taoist turned his head to Elder Shi and called out loudly, "What’s going on? Haven’t dealt with that rascal yet?"
"You ask , I ask who?" Elder Shi’s face was fierce, gritted his teeth and said, "Xuanzhen, is this the Third Grade Martial Cultivator you ntioned?! He’s clearly a Daoist and Martial Dual Cultivation!"
Crash—
Xuanzhen broke through the rooftop, flying out from the backyard.
His entire body was scorched by strange fire, looking even more miserable than Elder Shi.
At this mont, he finally realized that sothing was amiss.
After sparring with Chen Mo last night, he imdiately sent a ssage to "that master," confirming that the opponent belonged to the court.
Following the master’s instructions, early today comnced the plan ahead of schedule, intending to lure Chen Mo and then join forces with Elder Shi to slay him!
The master emphasized that this matter’s priority even surpassed the refinent of Heart Devouring Poisonous Insects!
Xuanzhen initially didn’t take it too seriously.
Considering Chen Mo’s previous exhibited strength, roughly equal to his own.
Though the opponent might have hidden cards, he hadn’t used full power either, not to ntion Elder Shi’s near Second Grade strength, logically, there should’ve been no suspense...
Unexpectedly, this person was strong to such an extent!
The two were completely subdued, without any chance to retaliate!
Had no choice but to escape the secret chamber, otherwise, they might have been beaten to death!
"What the hell is this guy’s background?!" Xuanzhen was still in shock.
Boom!
At that mont, a cyan silhouette soared skyward.
Donning a jade stone dragon armor, eyes ablaze with purple-gold brilliance, resembling a Heavenly God, with formidable pressure intolerable to gaze upon directly!
"I haven’t used much force, and you want to run already?" Chen Mo shook his head, "Truly disappointing."
"Hmph, arrogant!"
Elder Shi abruptly inhaled, his already enormous body rapidly swelling.
His skin turned from pink to blue-violet, and in the next instant, dense black fog sprayed forth, engulfing nurous faint silver spots, like stars twinkling in the night sky.
The black mist enveloped the surroundings, hands couldn’t see fingers.
Chen Mo felt a slight tingling on his cheeks; the mist was not only highly toxic but also isolated Divine Sense, making it impossible to discern directions.
Upon closer inspection, those floating silver spots were a swarm of Gu Poison Worms, bursting upon contact, emitting a pungent stench.
And at the points of contact with the Gu Poison Worms, the Jade Scale armor’s luster seed to dim slightly.
"What is this?"
Chen Mo frowned.
The worms themselves posed no threat, but their body fluids were highly corrosive.
Apparently, they could corrode flesh and contaminate Magical Treasures and Primordial Qi.
One or two might not matter, but the sheer number was overwhelming, appearing as a silver river surging forth, evading was impossible, directly enveloping him!
