The formidable young man named Meng from Longevity Heaven suddenly stood up, paid homage to Mr. Qi, and calmly said, "Despite my slow wits, I comprehend your underlying intentions from your lengthy discourse. As for this matter... I, Meng Li, will not participate!"

"Senior Brother Meng... what?"

"Senior Brother Meng, are you planning to withdraw?"

"How are we going to explain this to the hall master?"

A group of the Silver Custodians and Bronze Stewards from the Azure Dragon Hall all wore faces filled with urgency as they stared at Meng Li. They didn't expect that their pillar of support would contemplate withdrawal once again after all they've been through.

Meng Li glanced at these people and smiled lightly, "What's to explain? If I withdraw, you can still continue, can't you?"

If Senior Brother Meng withdraws, what are we to continue? We're not people without a shred of self-awareness. But... how are we going to face the hall master? A Silver Custodian from the Azure Dragon Hall said with a bitter tone, "So many people have died, we can't just let this pass..."

"What do you have to explain? If the Gold Elders aren't able to resist, do you think we can?" Meng Li said lightly as he looked at these people. Yet there was something he didn't voice, keeping it deep in his heart: Whether the Azure Dragon Hall could survive in this world after this event... was a massive question!

Right now, Meng Li had one thought in mind - to leave this place, return to Longevity Heaven, and report the incident to the head of Longevity Heaven as soon as possible.

After all, there was no small amount of grudge between Chu Mo and Longevity Heaven.

Last year, Chu Mo endeavored to be apprenticed to Longevity Heaven but was rudely rejected by the Seventh Elder. It was heard that Chu Mo was also severely humiliated at the same time.

Such humiliation, if it had been him, Meng Li, he would also have imprinted it firmly in his heart.

This time, since the lad has obtained a terrifyingly powerful Master, who could predict whether he would go to Longevity Heaven to clear his earlier disgrace once he matures?

Hence, almost without hesitation, Meng Li stated his intention to leave.

Several dozens of Silver Custodians and Bronze Stewards of the Azure Dragon Hall, who were also the core elite of the hall, pondered about Meng Li's words and his departure, and they too began to waver, pursuing towards the direction where Meng Li left.

"Senior Brother Meng, wait for us! We will leave with you!"

The departure of Meng Li and his group caused the group, which was already in low spirits, to fall further into silence.

Many were reflecting, contemplating whether it was worth staying in this place.

At this moment, a warrior from Vermilion Bird Continent stood up and plainly said, "You all may leave, but I'm definitely staying here. That damned brat... I'll dismember his corpse into tiny pieces myself!"

These words stunned the crowd.

Everyone knew now that Chu Mo had a terrifyingly powerful master. Even if they harbored the intention of killing Chu Mo to remove future threats, no one would openly express that thought.

However, some recognized this man's identity and instantly helped explain in a low voice to the people around, "That's Hua Shuanniu... He's quite famous on the Vermilion Bird Continent, has an immense amount of strength, and seems to have broken through to the Understanding Heart Realm! Surprisingly, he has been hiding in the crowd."

"Hua Shuanniu? What a strange name."

"Apparently, Hua Shuanniu was born into a peasant family. His parents were uneducated and gave him this name. However, he later encountered a fortuitous event, was taken in by a renowned sect, and quickly distinguished himself due to his exceptional talent."

"Why does this kind of person harbor such a deep resentment towards Chu Mo? Judging by his looks, he doesn't seem to want Chu Mo's legacy?"

"Because his son was killed by Chu Mo!"

"Did such an incident actually happen?"

Those in the know quietly explained to those around them, "Hua Shuanniu's son, Hua Nan, was a member of the Vermilion Bird Association. Because his son fell in love with a student from Piaomiao Palace, who was one of the twelve inheritors from Piaomiao Palace, the incident became the talk of the town. Nearly every warrior from Vermilion Bird Continent has heard about it. Later, Hua Nan and the Piaomiao Palace student, with the assistance of Hua Shuanniu, joined the Vermilion Bird Association together, marking the conclusion of the event. That part of the inheritance was then obtained by the people of the Vermilion Bird Association."

"I see, but how did this Hua Nan die at the hands of Chu Mo?" someone asked.

"I'm not entirely sure about the details, but it seems that this event is the cause! It should have something to do with Miao Yi Niang, another disciple from the Vermilion Bird Association. Hua Shuanniu was incredibly protective of his son, and now his son is dead because of Chu Mo. How could he possibly let this go?"

Standing there, with a frosty look in his eyes, Hua Shuanniu coldly said, "I have no interest in the lineage that brat carries. I have only one goal: to kill him!" Turning to the crowd, Hua Shuanniu continued, "So, if anyone wants to leave, feel free to do so. But I'm not going anywhere. Moreover, I won't just wait around here!"

At that moment, Hua Shuanniu roared into the sky, "Senior, are you brave enough to give me the opportunity to avenge my son? Will you lift the seal on me? Do you dare?"

His anguished roar echoed between Heaven and Earth.

"Your son deserved to die!" A cold voice rang out from the void, "If he hadn't thought about killing others, why would others want to kill him? Ninety percent of his death is your fault! Besides, you had the audacity to make such a shameless request...I'm somewhat surprised."

"Do you dare, Senior?" Hua Shuanniu, growing crazier by the moment, was beginning to feel desperate.

Previously, he thought that even though Chu Mo was an ordinary young man with some skill, if he took action personally, he could easily tear him to pieces and avenge his son.

Unexpectedly, this ordinary young man had such a deep background.

Perhaps even the true disciples of the four hidden sects, the Lone City Sword and the Immortal Beyond Heaven, would be scared by Chu Mo's status.

In his despair, Hua Shuanniu chose to go all out. Noticing that this mighty figure hidden in the darkness was a rather proud individual, he tried to challenge him.

As long as he was able to recover his powers from the Understanding Heart Realm, he was confident that he could easily kill Chu Mo!

"Do you dare, Senior?" Hua Shuanniu roared in grief again.

"If you're so eager to die, then you can't blame me. If I grant your wish, then what of it?" As the cold voice resounded from the void, Hua Shuanniu felt a sudden lightness in his body.

Immense and boundless power returned to him in an instant.

A mad gleam flashed in Hua Shuanniu's eyes as he gritted his teeth and asked, "Senior, can you promise not to interfere?"

"If you dare to speak further nonsense, I will kill you." The void echoed with the chilling voice of the Demon Lord, "Don't think that your words have moved me. I just want to see how my disciple is going to kill you!"

Hua Shuanniu gritted his teeth, "As long as Senior doesn't interfere, it's still uncertain who will kill who!"

With that said, the powerful figure of the Understanding Heart Realm suddenly rose into the air, flying directly towards the summit of this sheer cliff!

Everyone held their breath, watching the scene unfold.

The power exhibited by one from the Understanding Heart Realm is truly exceptional!

Although the mountain is over three thousand feet high, for someone of the Understanding Heart Realm, it's not hard to fly to the top!

Despite being in a hostile relationship, many people failed to understand why the mighty figure in the shadows was doing this... wasn't he essentially sending someone to kill his own disciple? Or did he plan to intervene at a critical moment?

Just then, cries of astonishment came from below.

An enormous rock fell from the sky, hurtling towards Hua Shuanniu as he flew upwards along the cliff face.

A cold, youthful voice echoed from above, "Off to meet your son!"
