"This shipment, along with her... from now on, I won't just stop bothering you, but... I will even help you!" Chen Jiu looked at Liu Hai and casually said.

"Master Chen, we have paid such a high price just to protect her." At this time, a solemn look crossed Liu Hai's face, making him look like a tiger ready to hunt. His gaze on Chen Jiu became somewhat menacing, "You should know that we aren't afraid of you, Chen Jiu. Don't escalate things too much; it won't do any good for anyone.".

"Oh? You're threatening me?" Chen Jiu looked at Liu Hai, seemingly surprised. "You fucking dare to threaten me? You, surnamed Liu, remember your words, I don't want your goods, nor do I want the girl! But you better remember, if you can still survive in this generation, I, Chen Jiu, will take your name!"

Having said that, Chen Jiu sneered, turned, and left.

Chu Mo, having seen this, had more or less figured out the whole process of the situation. A faint smile appeared on his face. Then, he flashed and disappeared on the spot.

The members of the adventure group were all stunned, standing like statues, their eyes full of confusion.

"Captain... I'm sorry. I...I..." Tears streamed down Feng Ni's face as she choked out, "I'm the one who got everyone into this."

"What are you talking about, Feng Ni. We are all in this together." A cultivator present sighed with a bitter smile, "These ungrateful wolves, would still find some other issues even if you weren't here today."

"Yeah Feng Ni, don't cry. If worse comes to worst, we just won't stick around here! This Spirit Realm is not only about the Lingyue Sect!" someone angrily said.

"Exactly, we can just leave this place!"

"Easier said than done, all the crows under the sky are... all alike!" The old cultivator who had been slapped twice on his face shook his head with a sigh.

Even though he healed his facial injury with his spiritual power, the wound in his heart was not so easy to heal.

After living to such an old age, being slapped twice by a young man far below his skill level, would make anyone unhappy.

"Let's go! Let's head to Jinxiu City!" After a long silence, Liu Hai suddenly heaved a sigh, "Let's head back and gather all of our brothers! From there on, we'll survive in Jinxiu City!"

"Ah? Captain... There are also Three Great Families in Jinxiu City!" someone said on the side.

"The Three Great Families suffered a disaster recently and they're not as influential as before. In the past, if we had entered Jinxiu City, we would certainly be ostracized by the Three Great Families. But now... they might not be able to afford to bother us." Liu Hai said in a deep voice, "Among us, there are two Golden Core cultivators, and the rest of you aren't weak either. We'll just mind our own business there. There must be a spot for us to survive!"

"That's right, there's a lot of room in the Spirit Realm. We should distance ourselves from Lingyue Sect!" someone commented.

"I'm tired of having anything to do with the Lingyue Sect."

"Yes, it's exhausting!"

Gradually, the team members began to accept the captain's decision.

Liu Hai took one last look in the direction of Lingyue Sect, a trace of resentment flashed across his face. He gritted his teeth and muttered, "Such a rotten sect will eventually be uprooted one day!"

With these words, Liu Hai led his team in the opposite direction.

His silhouette, full of desolation and bleakness.

This is the reality for the majority of independent cultivators in the world. The path of cultivation has never been a smooth journey.

...…

Chu Mo quickly caught up with Chen Jiu and began following him at a leisurely pace. There was still time, given that Feng Jianghai should still be a few million miles away. He wouldn't be able to catch up to them without at least half a day's time.

Although this time wouldn't be enough for cultivation, it was sufficient to carry out his plan.

Meanwhile, Chen Jiu was cursing under his breath: "You all just wait for me! You damn lowlifes! If I let you continue to survive in this area, I'll have been wasting my time all these years cultivating in the Lingyue Sect! Liu Hai... Don't think that just because you're at the Golden Core stage you're something special, you dare to contradict me? You wait, I'll have you butchered by my senior brothers! And Feng Ni, I will have you! I will make you writhing beneath me... I'll make your screams ring out! Once I've had enough, I'll sell you to the brothel in the city, you fucking whore!"

Chu Mo shook his head, let out a small sigh, and thought to himself, so I'm supposed to substitute this scumbag? Well, it's better this way. Such a scumbag is bound to have few friends.

Although Chu Mo had a deep dislike for Lingyue Sect in general, he also knew that forest was bound to have all kinds of birds. No place would be completely filled with evil people, devoid of a single good one. Not everyone in any legitimate sect would be an embodiment of righteousness.

The world was not simply black and white.

Thinking this, Chu Mo suddenly quickened his pace and appeared next to Chen Jiu.

"Ah... who are you?" Chen Jiu had been cursing heartily when a stranger suddenly emerged beside him. He was so frightened that his soul practically left his body.

And then, his soul really did leave his body!

Because the stranger suddenly embraced him by his neck, choked his throat with his hand, and whispered, "Come on, I've never chatted with scum before. Let's have a little chat!"

An hour later, Chu Mo emerged from the darkness looking almost identical to Chen Jiu!

A hint of anger lingered on Chu Mo's face. This wasn't the first time he had killed, but there were few times that he had felt such a cathartic release.

Chen Jiu was cornered in a dark corner, scared out of his wits under Chu Mo's oppressive Golden Core aura. He confessed to many things without being heavily interrogated.

Chu Mo then learned that the incident today was only the tip of the iceberg for Chen Jiu, he had committed countless evil deeds taking advantage of his position as an inner disciple of Lingyue Sect.

What angered Chu Mo, and led to his firm decision to kill Chen Jiu, was that the latter once kidnapped a pregnant woman and violated her in his dwelling outside of Lingyue Sect. He then stabbed her in the stomach.

Two lives taken in one fell swoop!

While Chen Jiu was confessing this, he was in a state of such fear under the suppression of Chu Mo's aura that Chu Mo still managed to catch a glimpse of excitement in his eyes!

He explained that the reason he killed the pregnant woman was that she was the mistress of a deacon of Lingyue Sect kept outside the sect!

And the reason why he did it was because that deacon had glared at him once, about a decade or so ago when he just joined the Lingyue Sect.

Chu Mo asked Chen Jiu if there was any interaction with that deacon afterwards.

Smugly, Chen Jiu responded that there hadn't been anything further, but he did manage to successfully plot the deacon's death before he found the pregnant woman!

Upon hearing this, Chu Mo felt both unfortunate and relieved.

Unfortunate that he had to substitute for such a person, and relief that it's exactly because Chen Jiu was such a scumbag that he was able to kill him without hesitation.

Thinking about his previous conversation with Chen Jiu, anger still lingered on Chu Mo's face.
