"What on earth are they doing?" Dong Yu exclaimed in surprise.
Qin Shi shook her head, "I'm not sure ... It seems like they're exploring some place."
After he came out of the hidden cave, Chu Mo suddenly felt his spirits lift a lot. Unknowingly, the Realm Spirit had become a mentor in his life, always guiding him forward and constantly pointing out various obscurities for him.
The breadth of the Realm Spirit's knowledge was truly astonishing, far beyond what any ordinary man could achieve.
"If my master is said to be the guide who led me on this path, then the Realm Spirit ... should be the one who opened the door for me to a higher level," Chu Mo thought, a faint smile appearing on his face.
Every inch of this mysterious land might contain unimaginable history.
The entire place, the Realm Spirit said, was essentially a giant cemetery. No wonder it was so dangerous, with many areas completely inaccessible.
Chu Mo watched the people from One Sword and Immortal sects in the distance, and thought to himself, this is merely the edge of the burial ground, and it's already so extraordinary. So, what must the real depths of this place look like?
Eagerness flashed in Chu Mo's gaze.
Then, the people on the other side noticed Chu Mo emerging from the "secluded" cave, and they immediately yelled, "Young Master Chu…"
Chu Mo greeted them with a wave and then headed towards them.
The reason why he said he needed two hours to cultivate was just to avoid letting these people notice his disappearance. Apart from the first time he entered the Illusionary God Realm as a spirit, Chu Mo actually entered the realm physically every time afterward.
This was his own secret, and it was his privilege!
"What happened?" Chu Mo asked, looking at the group of people in front of him.
"Well, Shen Xingxue and Hua Xiaoya and those who have had fortuitous encounters ... they've all disappeared," said a middle-aged man from the One Sword Sect.
Only then did Chu Mo notice that indeed, Hua Xiaoya and Shen Xingxue were no longer present. But considering what happened with Miao Yi Niang before, Chu Mo wasn't overly worried and asked, "Who else disappeared?"
"And more than a dozen others... they all disappeared suddenly," someone said. "We later confirmed among ourselves that all those who disappeared had received some kinds of opportunities."
Zhou Jun spoke up outside the group with a gloomy face, "Our Western Sea Sect lost two more people ..."
"…" Chu Mo was rendered speechless, as he looked at Zhou Jun, "What happened? Didn't I scout those areas for you?"
Zhou Jun faltered.
At this moment, the rest of those people from One Sword and Immortal sect sneered at him.
A female disciple from the Immortal sect, an older martial sister of the same generation as Shen Xingxue, coldly said, "Some people think they're capable enough to try and explore new areas. They think that you've already taken all the good things from the places you've been to ..."
Chu Mo was left speechless, and he looked at Zhou Jun as he wanted to say something, but lost interest in doing so.
If they didn't trust him, what was the point in explaining?
Zhou Jun hesitated for a moment, and then said, "I'm sorry, Your Majesty King of Chu ... it's our fault for being short-sighted."
Chu Mo waved a hand, "Enough, they are all grown-ups. You don't need to apologize to me. Just take care of yourselves."
Zhou Jun sighed. This time, although he didn't acquire any great opportunities like legacies, he gained quite a lot of rare metal ores and top-quality medicinal materials. At first, he was envious of Huang Hui, Miao Yiniang, Shen Xingxue, and Hua Xiaoya, wondering why they had such good luck.
However, later on, Zhou Jun came to terms with the fact that many things cannot be forced. The more one forces it, the less likely they are to gain anything.
Moreover, being able to leave this place alive is already a tremendous achievement!
Many prodigious disciples from the Four Great Sects had silently died here, hadn't they?
Could it be said that because a large number of people came in this time, there can be some exceptions?
He had a feeling that these people following Chu Mo were the luckiest people who had entered this place this time!
Thinking of this, Zhou Jun let out a wry smile, "If I can, I want to leave now."
As he was saying that, a light gate suddenly appeared beside Zhou Jun.
This gate was almost identical to the light they saw when they entered.
Everyone was dumbfounded, including Zhou Jun. Although he intended to retreat in his heart, it was just a casual thought, he didn't expect he could leave right now.
"This… this..." Zhou Jun looked at the unpredictable light, his lips twitching, his face blank, and he looked at Chu Mo for help.
Chu Mo was also helpless. He could ascertain that this was by no means a coincidence.
It could even be possible that some incredible entity had been watching them all along.
Upon hearing Zhou Jun's words, it was probably just an act of mischief!
If this was before meeting the Realm Spirit, Chu Mo might have really found it hard to provide Zhou Jun with a reasonable suggestion. But after meeting the Realm Spirit and knowing the truth about this place, Chu Mo felt that anything that happened here must have a deeper meaning.
If Zhou Jun changes his mind now and doesn't want to leave, then he might encounter misfortune next!
So, Chu Mo raised his head and looked at Zhou Jun: "How about your gains in here?"
"Although ... it's different from what I expected, it's...a lot!" Zhou Jun chose his words carefully and said sincerely.
"Well, since you have gained something and the gateway has appeared in front of you, I think it's time to leave," Chu Mo suggested.
Zhou Jun only hesitated a bit, and then nodded, "Then I'll listen to you."
After saying that, he looked at the other disciples of the Western Sea Sect, "Are you guys leaving too?"
"We ... we want to wait a little longer." The other disciples of the Western Sea Sect looked at each other and none of them were willing to leave so early.
Because they had also found out that staying with Chu Mo was quite safe. Moreover, it seemed that the closer they were to Chu Mo, the better their luck. They all hoped to get along well with Chu Mo in the coming days.
Well, to put it bluntly, they wanted to impress Chu Mo to see if a miracle would happen.
Although it made people a little uncomfortable, this was how the world of martial arts works.
It's all about finding favor and gaining advantage.
Zhou Jun didn't force them. In fact, he even had no right to force these people because the remaining disciples of the Western Sea Sect, in terms of status or realm, were all much higher than Zhou Jun.
"Then, take care everyone!" Zhou Jun bid farewell to his fellow disciples with a salute, then he deeply bowed to Chu Mo, "Goodbye!"
After saying that, Zhou Jun decisively stepped into the light gate, and his figure disappeared in an instant.
Then, that light gate also disappeared with Zhou Jun.
