His realm was sufficient for him to know almost everything that the cultivators of the Spirit Realm could be aware of, and he knew even those things that most of them didn't!

Take, for instance, some rumors about the Blood Demon Ancestor of the Blood Demon Sect. He had far more detailed knowledge than others.

He understood very clear that the Blood Demon Ancestor was not a homegrown cultivator of the Spirit Realm but came from above!

"Could it be… is this Lu Tianming also from above?" The more he thought about this possibility, the uglier Feng Jianghai's face became.

"Hatred has arisen… No matter what, I must kill this person! Eliminate future trouble!" Feng Jianghai muttered in his heart, "Even if it requires… a great sacrifice, it is something I am willing to pay!"

Two people-- one pursuing, the other evading.

Days passed like a swift wind.

Feng Jianghai was never able to catch up with Chu Mo, but Chu Mo… also couldn't shake him off.

When Chu Mo is still over a thousand miles from Lingyue Sect's mountain gate, he finally felt a hint of exhaustion.

"The exertion is a bit too much!" Chu Mo sighed.

If Feng Jianghai heard him, he'd probably be angered to death. After running so many days, Chu Mo merely found the exertion a bit too much? His own energy consumption had been enormous! He was a cultivator at the peak of the Primordial Infant stage, but he had already started to burn the power within his body!

Following this, Chu Mo, from afar, spotted a group of people a hundred miles away, seemingly involved in a dispute.

This was already considered Lingyue Sect's core territory!

Most of those who could appear here should be members of the Lingyue Sect.

Thinking about this, Chu Mo plummeted from the sky and charged in the direction.

"We're just a small business, trading a bit of medicinal materials. We know Manager Kang from your Lingyue Sect's outer disciples. You demand thirty percent of our goods straight away... We would stand at a loss for this trip!"

"Master Chen, can you show a little convenience? I'll manage to give you thirty percent of our profits instead. Can't you let us make a little profit?"

"Exactly, you're a big shot in the Lingyue Sect, why bother arguing with adventurers like us? Feng Ni offended you just now, but will an apology from her not suffice?"

"I'm sorry, I was ignorant. Please don't compare yourself to me. My...my elder brother was killed on this medicinal gathering trip by a spirit beast. I...I was in a bad mood...and I offended you. I'm sorry… boo-hoo, please don't make things difficult for us!"

Chu Mo, drawing closer to the area, lastly heard a woman's voice, crying, apologizing to a man.

"It's not that I want to trouble you all, but you should understand the rules. And you just mentioned Manager Kang to me...haha, Kang Bo, is it? Even when seeing me, he needs to honestly call me senior brother. Are you trying to scare me by using him? Is that interesting?" A man in his thirties, looking ordinary but with a hint of arrogance in his eyes, looked at the woman with a lustful gaze.

His intention of stopping this group of adventurers for medical herbs was a pretense. What he really wanted was this woman!

This group of adventurers consisting of around thirty people, was a group of ordinary cultivators relying on Lingyue Sect for their survival. They helped Lingyue Sect gather various medicinal herbs and bartered them for cultivation resources. Compared to those without any backing or rogue cultivators, they were quite fortunate.

They could gain some cultivation resources to help them barely continue their cultivation path. But in comparison to the disciples of Lingyue Sect, they were nothing.

Thus, even an ordinary inner disciple from Lingyue Sect could be haughty before them without them daring to show any disrespect.

Even if some of them had a higher cultivation level than this person!

They would not dare to offend any disciples of Lingyue Sect!

Or else, forget about any consequences, at least… they would no longer be able to rely on Lingyue Sect for their survival!

They knew this disciple from Lingyue Sect named Chen Jiu, once an inner disciple in the late Foundation Establishment stage. He was neither ordinary nor a genius, just an average character.

Chen Jiu had been keeping an eye on Feng Ni of this group of adventurers for some time.

They had been avoiding him in various ways before, and Chen Jiu also didn't dare to make too much noise in the sect. So they had managed to coexist peacefully until now.

But today, more than half of the higher-ups of Lingyue Sect had left!

Owner Feng Jianghai, who had secluded himself for many years, was among them. All of them had gone out!

Chen Jiu heard that the owner was going to do a major task, but he, with his status, did not know exactly what. He did not want to know either, he only knew his opportunity had arrived.

So, here, he directly stopped this adventurer's team and demanded thirty percent of their goods.

This was not extortion but outright robbery!

Of course, he had ulterior motives. He wanted to force this adventurer's group to give up Feng Ni.

Feng Ni was not extremely beautiful but had a spectacular figure. With her tan skin, taller body, and ponytail, she looked full of vitality. Chen Jiu had coveted this woman for a long time.

Today, taking advantage of the big shots' absence from the sect, he believed he could finally get his wish.

Chu Mo, upon nearing the area, did not intervene immediately but was observing and calculating.

At this point, the leader of the group of adventurers, named Liu Hai, was a cultivator in the early stages of the Golden Core and appeared to be in his forties. His face was rosy, eyebrows bold, eyes grand-' the man looked very commanding. But at this moment, he appeared quite distressed.

As the leader of such a large group, he was responsible for each member. Over the years, he had built some reputation in his generation. However, when facing a disciple of Lingyue Sect, especially an inner disciple… he felt extremely upset.

"Master Chen, can you give us some suggestions? What do we need to do for you to let us go?" Liu Hai looked at Chen Jiu helplessly.

"Heh, that's a fresh way of putting it. It sounds like I'm troubling you guys?" Chen Jiu sneered coldly at Liu Hai from his nostrils.

"No, you're not troubling us. It's just that we're not doing well enough." Liu Hai took a deep breath, made a decision and said to Chen Jiu, "Master Chen, if you really want thirty percent of our goods, then please take it!"

"Chief, we can't do that! We spent money buying these goods, not all of them were found by us!" said a dispirited Foundation Establishment cultivator from the adventurer team.

"That's right, Chief! We lost our brothers while gathering these medicinal herbs!" Another man in his forties, a Foundation Establishment cultivator with red-rimmed eyes, looked at Liu Hai. "If we take out thirty percent of our goods, we won't just end up penniless, but we'll also have nothing left for the condolence money for our brothers..."

Feng Ni stood there, lips pressed together, she suddenly looked at Chen Jiu coldly and said, "Chen Jiu, you don't need to beat about the bush…"
