"Little beast, I'm asking you..." Shen Aobing was suddenly furious, she raised her hand and delivered a heavy slap towards Chu Mo's face.

She used thirty percent of her strength. She was determined to awaken this incredibly audacious little beast, to make him realize who he was facing, and who he was talking to!

Did he think that just because he could defeat someone at the Enlightenment Heart Realm, he could act recklessly in front of me, Shen Aobing?

Deep down, Shen Aobing was even more frightened!

This young man had become ridiculously powerful in such a short number of years!

If someone of the Enlightenment Heart Realm couldn't stand against him, didn't that mean he had already stepped into the Heavenly Heart Realm at his tender age?

For a moment, Shen Aobing wanted to use all of her strength!

And kill Chu Mo outright!

But on second thought, although Chu Mo was despicable and hateful, he was the savior of Xingxue and Miao Yi Niang after all!

If she killed him, neither of them would forgive her.

Even if she was doing it for their sake...

Heaven and hell are often a thought apart.

That moment of hesitation, in fact, saved her own life!

Chu Mo moved as if a specter. Shen Aobing couldn't even see his movements clearly when his figure had already disappeared from her sight.

Shen Aobing was shocked and attacked reflexively behind her.

Her attack landed on nothing. Chu Mo's figure was completely lost to her.

A cold wind blew, and Shen Aobing shivered. A trace of fear appeared on her icy face.

Had she seen a ghost?

A dry voice suddenly resounded in the Immortals, "Sister Yiniang, it's me, Chu Mo..."

Shen Aobing's ashen face turned an angry red, her eyes blazing with wrath.

"Chu Mo... you're courting death!"

The inner sanctum of the Immortals had never been stepped on by a man for hundreds of years!

Now, a common youth had bypassed her and entered the inner sanctum, a place where no man had ever set foot!

Then, he audaciously called out to her favorite disciple!

This was a challenge!

A blatant challenge to the entire Immortals!

This sin was unforgivable!

Even if it meant making Miao Yi Niang hate her for a lifetime, she must kill him!

Just then, Miao Yi Niang's voice, filled with surprise, resounded, "Ah, my young master, how did you get here? Is it really you? Am I dreaming? Ah, it is you! What's happened? You look like you've lost your soul. What happened?"

Shen Aobing, who was about to rush over, halted abruptly.

Miao Yi Niang's words reminded her. Yes, what had happened to this little beast that made his face look as if his family had died?

On contemplating this, Shen Aobing felt like she was struck by lightning and she understood.

Could it be... that the eye that had appeared in the sky had something to do with him?

Shen Aobing originally wanted to summon the elders of the Immortals, to arrest Chu Mo together, and kill him if he resisted. But now, she was suddenly hesitant.

Over there, Chu Mo finally saw Miao Yi Niang. He wanted to give a smile to the long-lost Sister Yiniang, but despite his efforts, he couldn't muster any expression on his face.

Yet his gaze was enough for Miao Yi Niang to understand instantly.

Tears streamed down from Miao Yi Niang's eyes. She rushed over and wrapped her arms around Chu Mo, who had grown taller than her, whispering, "It's alright now, your sister is here. Nothing to worry about anymore, young master ... there's nothing to be afraid of."

As Shen Aobing stood outside, a complex expression crossed her face — resentment, sorrow, and a faint hint of longing.

"Enough!" Eventually, Shen Aobing stomped her foot in frustration, turned around with a stern face, and dismissed the Immortal disciples who had rushed over to witness the scene, as she made her way towards her own courtyard.

At this moment, a magnificent bird, radiant with a rainbow of colors, gracefully soared through the sky, carrying a young woman dressed in yellow on its back.

The majestic bird, ablaze like a flame, emitted an overwhelming aura and an endless majestic presence, giving her an almost suffocating feeling.

"Ve... Vermilion Bird..." Shen Aobing found herself spellbound, and whispered the name of the bird before falling into a stunned silence.

She even forgot about Chu Mo's intrusion into the Immortals, with the only thought left in her mind being: Why has the divine Vermilion Bird come to us Immortals?

A rooster, disguised as the Vermilion Bird, floated nonchalantly in the sky. The woman in yellow on its back gently asked, "Is this the place of the Immortals?"

"Indeed, may I ask who you..." Upon seeing Huang Hui, this pure and beautiful maiden who resembled a fairy, Shen Aobing instantly felt an inexplicable nervousness.

"Who are you?" Huang Hui asked indifferently.

"I... I'm the head of the Immortals." Though the young woman in yellow spoke in a questioning tone, it didn't anger Shen Aobing one bit.

Anyone who could ride on the back of the Vermilion Bird was no mere mortal, after all.

"Well, come with us. We have something to discuss with you," Huang Hui said casually.

The rooster transformed into a rainbow-like beam of light and vanished instantaneously from the Immortals' view.

During the brief moment that Shen Aobing was in a stupor, the colorful beam of light had vanished from Heaven and Earth!

It wasn't until this moment that Shen Aobing suddenly realized that she seemed to have missed out on something. As if... a great opportunity had slipped through her fingers!

"Oh my… What... What was I thinking? Why didn't I follow them?" A look of profound regret appeared on Shen Aobing's face.

Then, she thought of Chu Mo, and her anger flared up. She gritted her teeth and swore, "If it weren't for your sudden appearance which disturbed my tranquility, I wouldn't have missed this opportunity. You little beast... I must..."

Just then, a gentle voice echoed in her ears, "You missed the opportunity, but if you treat that young man kindly, you might encounter an even greater opportunity."

The voice belonged to the girl in the yellow dress.

Shen Aobing shivered, her eyes filled with disbelief.

At this moment, her expression was incredibly complicated.

Inside the courtyard, Miao Yi Niang supported a stone-faced Chu Mo as he sat on a stone chair, looking at him with deep sorrow after years of separation.

"Tell me what happened, stop holding it in. It hurts me to see you like this!" Miao Yi Niang clutched Chu Mo's hand tightly, with tears dropping onto his hand, pained at seeing him in such state.

Her hot tears seemed to rouse Chu Mo somewhat, and he looked up at Miao Yi Niang, his voice hoarse, "Apart from you, Sister, all my friends and relatives in this world are gone. Grandpa is gone, Fufu is also gone, Sister Meier... is also gone!"

"The Piaomiao Palace... is no more, your fellow disciples are gone... Gone."

"They... are all dead!"

"Now, in this world, you're my only family left."

Chu Mo's face remained void of emotion, but the look in his eyes was heart-wrenching.
