He then lightly closed his eyes, and muttered to himself, "I'm just a half-step away from transcending the tribulations, and ascending to a higher level. What do the earthly grudges and affections have to do with me? The Heavenly Sword Sect... it's the sect that I founded and it once flourished, but any sect will eventually face decline... Seeing or not seeing the decline, it doesn't really make a difference."

With that, the old man sighed. "However, before I transcend the tribulations successfully and leave this world... boy, I promise I will find you and extinguish you! I will also extinguish your Nine Clans! Don't think just because you are powerful, that you won't have to pay a price."

Chu Mo floated in mid-air, expanded his divine sense, and began to search.

He wasn't interested in the disciples of the Heavenly Sword Sect; he didn't want to pay them any mind.

As for the resources of the Heavenly Sword Sect, he didn't intend to let any of them slip away!

Today if he couldn't eliminate the resources of the Heavenly Sword Sect thoroughly, there would be trouble knocking at his door in the future.

As Chu Mo expanded his divine sense, he also manipulated the Sky Mirror with his spiritual power. The Sky Mirror was adept at finding treasures and people.

At this moment, the Innate Stage experts, having lost a leg, once again rushed towards Chu Mo.

Chu Mo was taken aback and looked at the man, "Are you not afraid of death?"

"You little beast, what joy is there in life and what fear is there in death? You want to bring an end to my Heavenly Sword Sect today, I will never allow it!" With that, this Innate Stage expert made another move towards Chu Mo.

"Don't play the victim. If your Heavenly Sword Sect hadn't pursued me relentlessly, why would I need to come here for revenge?" Chu Mo looked coldly at the man, "Since you are willing to sacrifice yourself, I'll grant your wish!"

As he spoke, a knife suddenly materialized in Chu Mo's hand.

Heaven Slaying!

Slash!

Chu Mo slashed his blade at the Innate Stage expert.

Soul Seizure!

The Innate Stage expert from the Heavenly Sword Sect, whose eyes were brimming with anger, became utterly blank the moment he saw the light of the Heaven Slaying blade.

This spectacular blade was too fast for him, let alone an ordinary Foundation Establishment stage cultivator could not even evade it!

A head, huge in size, shot up into the sky.

Hot blood gushed out.

The body of this Innate Stage expert from the Heavenly Sword Sect fell from the sky and crashed onto the square below.

The entire Heavenly Sword Sect fell into deadly silence!

Not a sound was heard!

At this moment, Chu Mo's gaze was fixed on a mountain in the distance. He said coldly, "What, when your disciples and grand disciples are nearing their death, are you, an old immortal, pretending to be dead inside the mountain?"

After Chu Mo finished speaking, there was no movement from the other side.

Unable to contain his mockery, Chu Mo said, "Even at this point, you are still hoping for a miracle? It's amusing that you, the strongest elder of the Heavenly Sword Sect, are hiding like a turtle..."

Boom!

With a loud noise, the mountain collapsed, and a silhouette shot into the sky.

Simultaneously, a thunderous roar echoed, "You little beast... who are you calling a turtle?"

An old man with white hair and beard, wearing a tattered Taoist robe, appeared before Chu Mo in a flash and slapped towards him, "I am going to kill you!"

"You have to be capable of doing so!" Chu Mo shot back, throwing a fist towards the white-haired old man's slap.

Bang!

There was a loud noise, and Chu Mo was thrown back for hundreds of feet.

The white-haired and white-bearded old man also retreated hundreds of feet and looked at Chu Mo in disbelief, "How can you have such immense power?"

At this point, those disciples in the square of the Heavenly Sword Sect, who looked as if they were attending a funeral, all seemed to have found hope. They eyed the white-haired old man in the sky with eager looks.

"Is he the founder of our Heavenly Sword Sect?"

"I have seen a portrait of the ancestor... he looks exactly the same!"

"My God... our ancestor is still alive in this world!"

"Our ancestor has come out of his seclusion, we will be saved!"

"Great... our ancestor is finally out, we will certainly be saved!"

"Ancestor... kill this beast, avenge our sect leader!"

"Ancestor..."

The disciples of the Heavenly Sword Sect in the square cried out in grief.

The white-haired and white-bearded old man remained silent, only his gaze coldly fixed on Chu Mo. Meanwhile, he was cursing in his heart, wondering who had offended such a calamity, implicating the entire Heavenly Sword Sect. Even he, the founding ancestor of the Heavenly Sword Sect, was also implicated.

Had he known who was responsible, he would've loved to kill them himself!

"Boy, you've killed so many people from my Heavenly Sword Sect, isn't it enough? It's better to resolve grievances than to create them. Are you planning to continue? If I really fight you to the death, I may not necessarily be unable to keep you here!" The old man with white hair and beard did not speak aloud but communicated with Chu Mo via transmission.

He was aware that he couldn't say these words openly. Otherwise, those disciples of the Heavenly Sword Sect in the square would collapse immediately.

They wouldn't be able to accept their god-like founding ancestor succumbing to a youth.

But Chu Mo didn't care about saving the old man's face and said coldly, "Who said I want to exterminate the entire Heavenly Sword Sect? Are you blind? Haven't you seen that I'm only killing the elders of your sect? As for the disciples...have I killed any?"

The people in the square were taken aback, not understanding why this murderous youth would suddenly say such things.

However, some clever ones guessed that their own ancestor was whispering something to him.

The white-haired and white-bearded old man maintained his composure and continued to transmit his message to Chu Mo, "You have already killed so many people. It is better to resolve this grudge than to escalate it. Do you want to continue? If I really fight back, it's not guaranteed that I can't keep you here!"

Chu Mo gave a cold smile and said loudly, "I have never provoked your Heavenly Sword Sect. At first, in the Prairie, a disciple of your Heavenly Sword Sect named Leng Qiuming tried to harm me. I was weak and not his match then, so I endured."

"Then, there was someone named Zhao Qing…"

At this point, the square below fell into an uproar.

"Zhao Qing? Could it be the Elder Zhao Qing who entered the Azure Dragon Hall?"

"It should be... I heard he's dead..."

"Leng Qiuming had a grudge with this murderous deity too? No wonder we can't find him... he must have run away!"

Chu Mo ignored the noise from the square and stared at the founding ancestor of the Heavenly Sword Sect. He continued, "Later, the master of your Heavenly Sword Sect, along with a group of elders, came to the Yanhuang, the capital city of Great Xia Kingdom. They all attacked me at the same time…"

"I was seriously injured and nearly... died!"

"I took two years to recuperate. After I recovered, I returned to Yanhuang and met an Innate Stage expert called Yin Ming, heh... he's from your Heavenly Sword Sect too, right?"

Chu Mo's face displayed a mocking smile, "Tell me, with your Heavenly Sword Sect relentlessly provoking me like this, if you were in my shoes, would you have endured?" (To be continued.
