Chu Mo narrowed his eyes, looking at the person coming from afar.

In a black robe, with two sharp eyebrows, his eyes sparkled like bright stars. If not for the deep scar running from his left brow to his right corner of the mouth, he would surely be a handsome man.

This scar completely marred his image, making him foreboding even when he was not smiling and even more sinister when he did.

"Huang Huang... is that you?"

What surprised Chu Mo was that Luo Ying and Luo Ning, known for their fair faces, did not react angrily as expected. Instead, they watched the newcomer with utmost caution, their eyes filled with wariness.

Qin Shi and Dong Yu also furrowed their brows slightly. Although their faces displayed mild irritation, they did not lash out.

A chill ran down Chu Mo's spine as he thought: this person's strength must be formidable; otherwise, the four individuals here would not have such a reaction.

This was not Chu Mo's first time in the Illusionary Divine Realm. He knew very well the temperament of these Heavenly Geniuses. To put it nicely, they were reserved. More bluntly, they were arrogant and proud, quick to anger when provoked by anyone they deemed beneath them.

"Yes, I heard there's Five Elements water here. I've come to get some to brew tea." Huang Huang's face broke into a smile. That gleaming scar made his smile appear quite eerie.

"A bare-faced liar!" Dong Yu could no longer restrain herself and spat out contemptuously.

"Isn't this the heavenly daughter of the Dong family?" Huang Huang, seemingly noticing Dong Yu for the first time, smirked flirtatiously. He fixated on her, unabashedly staring until her cheeks reddened in embarrassment. Only then did he chuckle maliciously, "I heard you have the Nine Yin Body. No wonder these fair-faced brothers from the Luo family are sticking to you like a pair of adhesive plasters. Am I right?"

"Nonsense! Dong Yu and I are genuinely in love!" Luo Ying's handsome face was twisting in anger. Being mocked openly and having his innermost feelings exposed, he lost his restraint.

Despite his apprehension towards Huang Huang, Luo Ying was not the type to stoically endure insult.

"Ha hahaha, genuinely in love..." Huang Huang drawled out the syllables before snorting in contempt. "Are you kidding me?"

"You…" Enraged, Luo Ying was ready to charge forward.

However, his elder brother Luo Ning pulled him back, whispering, "He's trying to provoke you on purpose!"

Huang Huang laughed loudly. "If you want to play a role of a cringing son-in-law, then you should learn to bear it. Take a lesson from your elder brother. Do you understand?"

Luo Ying's eyes seethed with rage as he glared coldly at Huang Huang. "The ridicule of today, I will return twofold in the future!"

"Spare me your nonsense. You, little boy, won't get the chance! Can't stand it? Let's fight now. I will let both you brothers fight together!" Huang Huang's face turned grave. "Don't worry, even if you die here, it won't matter much. You can always go back home and cry to your sister, just like kids do when they get beaten up, right?"

Luo Ning watched Huang Huang coldly, "What is the point in behaving this way, Huang Huang?"

"It is entertaining! How can it not be?" Huang Huang extended a hand to stroke the scar on his face. "Your sister caused this scar. I will always remember it. I can never forget it. This is the best gift she gave me... I must repay the favor, don't you think?"

This was when Chu Mo finally understood. This man in black, with a scar across his face, and the brothers' sister held deep grudges against each other.

Luo Ning inhaled deeply and said, "Huang Huang, this past grievance is between you and my sister. Even though she may have been a bit excessive back then... she still apologised. The whole marriage arrangement was a mistake to begin with, why are you so resentful?"

"Hahahahahaha!" Huang Huang laughed uproariously, his laughter was cold and sharp. "Really? A mistake? What was a mistake?" He glared at Luo Ning. "The so-called mistake is nothing but your Luo family wanting to call off the marriage when my Huang family's ancestor went missing... Even though this marriage was a result of your family head begging for it..."

The faces of Luo Ying and Luo Ning turned ashen. Such public humiliation was unbearable, even for those with the most tolerant temperaments. Let alone them who already had quite a temper to begin with.

"What? You don't like what you're hearing?" Huang Huang scoffed. "Am I not speaking the truth? There's no issue with backing out of a marriage. It just makes your Luo family two-faced and shameless. But that's nothing new. It happens in the world all the time. However, your dear sister, blessed with extraordinary talent and formidable strength, tried to kill me…how nice of her! Thankfully, I, Huang Huang, was fortunate enough to survive. I cannot dare forget such a 'favor' for a single day!"

"My sister has already faced severe punishment for her actions that year. Moreover, she made amends to your Huang family…" Luo Ning spoke solemnly. pointing out the scar on Huang Huang's face, he added, "Given your cultivation level, the scar on your face is of little matter. Why can't you let it go?"

"Well said!" Huang Huang began to clap his hands in apparent admiration. "So, I should thank your Luo family, right?"

"That's not what I meant." Luo Ning replied.

Huang Huang ignored Luo Ning and turned to Qin Shi and Dong Yu, "Did you see that? Now you know what the Luo family is all about, right? If not for your Nine Yin Bodies, do you think these two fair-faced Luo brothers would be stuck to you like plasters?"

"Huang Huang... you've crossed the line!" Luo Ning's face was a mask of fury. He took in a deep breath, seemingly striving hard to control his anger.

Qin Shi, her face marked by slight embarrassment and anger, finally spoke out, "Whatever grudges you have with the Luo family is between you and them. Please do not drag us into it."

Both Luo Ning and Luo Ying froze in surprise. Even Dong Yu was left perplexed for a moment. Then, she contemplated Qin Shi's previous statement thoughtfully.

Suddenly, in the distant horizon where the Illusionary Divine Lake meets the sky, a burst of light unfurled from the lake's surface. In its wakeA multitude of rays broke through the night sky.

A full moon appeared to jump out of the Illusionary Divine Lake.

The realms of Heaven and Earth were bathed in the brilliance of moonlight.

Over the Illusionary Divine Lake, a seemingly transparent gate became faintly visible under the moon's glow.

All eyes were drawn to it.

"The full moon has risen!" Dong Yu suddenly said.

Luo Ning's expression remained gloomy. Qin Shi's recent words had left a bitter taste in his mouth. The unspoken yet apparent message in her words was perceived by everyone.

At this moment, however, as if forgetting what she had just said, Qin Shi nodded, "The full moon has risen, let's go!"

Chu Mo, on the other side, too noticed the nearly transparent gate outlined by the moonlight. He too started to move towards it.

Luo Ying, still seething, let out a huff and casually waved his hand towards Chu Mo's direction.

"What does he think he is... trying to overtake me? Keep away!"
