In the following days, Chu Mo settled down in this mixed-duty location. When he was in an upbeat mood, he would take a stroll alone, roaming around freely. Rumor had it that the custodians warned the mixed-duty servants not to provoke him.

Generally speaking, this place was not frequented by inner or outer disciples, so Chu Mo enjoyed his peace. He would cultivate every evening, hangout during the day, and life was quite pleasant.

His casual strolls during the day were not aimless; he wanted to collect some information about Jinxiu City.

However, his status and reputation were too prominent, so wherever he went, the existing gossip ceased and everyone looked at him with reverence. This left Chu Mo in a bittersweet state; he couldn't request them to continue their talk, as it would seem too intentional.

So, five days later, Chu Mo declared he needed to seclude himself for a month. The assistant manager didn't dare to object. He assured Chu Mo that no one would disturb him.

Chu Mo then casually handed a superior-grade spirit stone to the assistant manager, which almost drove him wild with joy, and his respect for "Master Chen" increased even more.

Afterward, Chu Mo closed his dwelling and made it seem like he was going into seclusion. Then, he changed his facial features and quietly left the place.

This time, Chu Mo used the Versatile Technique to morph into the appearance of a mixed-duty servant of Lingyue Sect.

Over these days, he had figured out the patterns of these mixed-duty servants. The one Chu Mo turned into was on rotation leave.

Lingyue Sect had hundreds of thousands of disciples, and the number of mixed-duty servants was even more astonishing - close to three hundred thousand when added up!

With so many people, it was impossible for everyone to know each other. Therefore, Chu Mo didn't worry about getting caught. After all, who would think twice about a lowly servant?

Chu Mo felt much better after altering his appearance. He wore the same servant uniform as the assistant manager. His excuse was that since he was being punished, not having even a servant's uniform would raise suspicion.

With that, Chu Mo swaggered around the massive servant area, the size of a small city, and no one paid much attention to him.

He then started listening closely to conversations around him.

"I don't know what's going on, the entire sect is on edge."

"I heard something big happened. The previous Sect Leader took a lot of powerful cultivators and went out on a mission. As a result, more than half of those cultivators perished!"

"My god, is such a thing even possible? Didn't they say the Sect Leader secluded himself years ago?"

"Such issues are beyond our comprehension."

"That's true, but the death of so many prominent figures is real. Their bodies have been returned slowly over the recent period. I heard that among the dead, there were not only elite disciples but also many direct disciples, even several elders... all met with a tragic fate!"

"Yeah, I heard about that too. Haven't you noticed how busy we've been recently in the servant area? The carpenters have been working nonstop to make coffins!"

"I wonder who instigated this conflict resulting in such heavy casualties."

"Well... these issues have nothing to do with us, mere servants."

As Chu Mo walked on, he heard familiar discussions from everyone. The situation in Jinxiu City had spread out and become known.

However, nobody spoke about the events that interested him the most. Probably because these servants were on the lowest rung of the ladder, the information they could access was very superficial.

Just as Chu Mo was contemplating, he overheard a conversation between two individuals that made him freeze.

"Hey, have you heard? The Black Prison is in use again!"

"Ah? The Black Prison? Wasn't it said... that place has been out of use for years? I heard it's the most sinister place in the entire Lingyue Sect! Even a Primordial Infant might not be able to come out alive."

"Yes, it's in use again!"

"Cough... brother, get to the point already. You're making everyone dizzy."

"Well, isn't that what happened? Otherwise, you would say I'm bluffing."

"Enough, out with it!"

Chu Mo trailed these two servants from a distance, paying close attention to their conversation.

"The news from there stated that the prisoner is a woman who... looks stunning!" The knowledgeable servant whispered. "Supposedly... our sect's severe casualty this time is related to that woman! Therefore, she was captured and thrown directly into the Black Prison."

"Ah, what a pity. Once you end up in the Black Prison, there's no escape." The other one sighed.

"Who can argue with that? Moreover, I heard that not only was the woman captured, but our sect is also totally infuriated with Jinxiu City this time. They have deployed a massive number of inner disciples to lay siege around Lingyue Sect. They say they are looking for someone surnamed Lu... as long as that person isn't captured, Jinxiu City will continue to be under siege!"

"It seems that this person surnamed Lu was the catastrophe that caused such a massive casualty in our Lingyue Sect... Our side is also conducting a thorough investigation. Rumor has it that guy infiltrated our sect, don't know if it's true or not."

"If it were true, it would be horrifying. Even the elders at the Primordial Infant Stage are no match for him..." The knowledgeable servant looked terrified.

"We don't need to be afraid of anything. We're just a bunch of common servants! He wouldn't deign to give us a second glance!"

By this time, Chu Mo had heard enough and stopped eavesdropping on their chat and walked away.

In his heart, he murmured: Black Prison!

At the same time, Chu Mo had a vague idea about the situation in Jinxiu City.

It seemed that Lingyue Sect had dispatched plenty of inner disciples to encircle Jinxiu City. It was obvious that this time they were determined to capture him, no matter what it took.

Besides, he suspected that the sect leader, Feng Jianghai, had every intention to wipe out all the forces in Jinxiu City.

This old guy was ruthless enough, and his methods were incredibly brutal!

His strategy was well-calculated!

By taking advantage of Lu Tianming, he planned to crush all of Jinxiu City's forces in one sweep. By that time, once Lu Tianming was killed, he would not only profit immensely from the Blood Demon Sect but could also bring the prosperous city of Jinxiu under his control.

If he were successful, Lingyue Sect would become the most formidable sect in a region spanning a million li!

Then, the original Three Spirits would probably become One Spirit!

The feelings of ancestors had faded over time, and to a man like Feng Jianghai, these emotional ties were not as valuable as a few Foundation Establishment pills.

This was evident from the behavior of Lingyue Sect's disciples toward the other two spirits.

As these thoughts raced through Chu Mo's mind, he quietly slipped into a shop and stole the most common and widespread map of Lingyue Sect.
