When Chu Mo and Fang Lan walked out of the entrance to Lingyue Sect, they saw from afar that Xiao Wanjun and Li Fangzhong had arrived. They looked even more wounded, bloodied from head to toe. However, they were suffused with the air of intense excitement.

"Master!" Xiao Wanjun bowed slightly to Chu Mo, stating in a grim tone, "Our duties are done. From now on, our lives are yours to command!"

Li Fangzhong nodded in agreement, then turned back to glance at Lingyue Sect behind him. He then said, "Master, can we spare Lingyue Sect this time?"

"Spare them?" Chu Mo looked puzzled and raised an eyebrow at Li Fangzhong. "Do you two not hate Lingyue Sect? It was established by the Feng Clan. Don't you want to completely obliterate it?"

Xiao Wanjun shook his head ruefully, and replied from one side, "We indeed felt that way once. If we could break free one day, surely we would turn Lingyue Sect upside down, utterly destroying it! We felt they owed us too much!"

Li Fangzhong took over the conversation, "Exactly, even when we first met you, Master, such thoughts were still in our hearts. However, after we finally broke free and killed Feng Jianghai and Feng Hua, we suddenly realized that our feud was only with the Feng Clan, Lingyue Sect... really didn't owe us anything. In fact, without Lingyue Sect, we wouldn't be here today."

Xiao Wanjun added, "We failed in the fight with Feng Buchang for the leader position back then, but that was just the law of the jungle. Now that we've killed Feng Buchang's descendants, we have vented most of our grudges. Regardless, Lingyue Sect is still our sect. Even though it was founded by the Feng Clan, we no longer wish to destroy it. We hope you will agree, Master."

"Please, Master!" Li Fangzhong bowed respectfully.

Chu Mo gave a slight smile, "Let's go. I had no intention of continuing to trouble them any further."

Xiao Wanjun and Li Fangzhong both looked surprised, staring blankly at Chu Mo.

"What are you staring at? Are you reconsidering?" Chu Mo chuckled at them.

"No, not at all." Xiao Wanjun quickly waved his hands, then smiled wryly, "It is just that your magnanimity, Master, had rendered our actions redundant."

Li Fangzhong also agreed, "In hindsight, we should have realized it when you walked out of the entrance of Lingyue Sect."

Fang Lan appeared somewhat startled, stealthily observing these two unkempt old men, not understanding why such powerful beings would call her master 'Master'.

At this moment, Xiao Wanjun bowed slightly towards Fang Lan, "This humble servant, Xiao Wanjun, pays his respects to the young miss!"

Li Fangzhong also bowed, "This humble servant, Li Fangzhong, pays his respects to the young miss!"

The disciple of their master naturally became their young miss. Fang Lan, however, had never experienced this before, and so she stood paralyzed, looking at Chu Mo.

Chu Mo nodded, "They have sworn loyalty to me which makes you their young miss!"

Fang Lan was startled by Chu Mo's straightforward words. She looked at Xiao Wanjun and Li Fangzhong, feeling a little apprehensive. She had seen these two battling Feng Jianghai in the sky and knew that they were far more powerful than her master. She wondered if they would express any discontent with her master's command.

However, to her surprise, Xiao Wanjun and Li Fangzhong both were smiling and nodding, not showing any signs of displeasure. Fang Lan, felt reassured, and her respect for her master increased even more.

About the impending matter of her wedding, Fang Lan didn't feel against it. Although she didn't have a deep-seated affection for Jin Ming, she and her family owed the Jin Family a great favour. Plus, Jin Ming had been nothing but dutiful towards her. His perseverance finally managed to touch Fang Lan's heart.

To Fang Lan, everything was moving in a favourable direction. Even though there had been a few twists and turns, everything ultimately turned out well.

Like this incident with Lingyue Sect, Fang Lan had once pessimistically thought that the best outcome for her might be death. Yet she never expected that her master would be so powerful that he could single-handedly overturn such a powerful sect.

Even though she might need to face more dangers in the future, Fang Lan felt that she could face them squarely without the fear she had before.

Party of four moved quickly towards Jinxiu City.

However, what they didn't anticipate was Jin Ming was in grave danger at this very moment in Jinxiu City!

After Chu Mo departed, Lingyue Sect directly locked down the entire city of Jinxiu, allowing people to enter but not leave. The city of Jinxiu was filled with resentments, but no one dared to openly oppose this. Anyone who dared to defy it were brutally suppressed, their ends tragically met.

The Lu Family was holding on out of sheer desperation with Lu Tianyue and Lu Tianqi barely hanging on. Fortunately, Lu Tianyue held the status of being a disciple of Lingdong Mountain, which gave pause to Lingyue Sect. However, most were waiting for word from the Sect.

Once news of Lu Tianming's death arrived, it would be the day when the entire Jinxiu City would be bathed in blood!

Even with the backing of Lingdong Mountain, the Lu Family was of no avail!

Jin Ming was seriously injured before. If Chu Mo hadn't given him an elixir, he might have already fallen. So, he had been recovering at home during this period. He knew that Fang Lan had been abducted but was powerless to help, which caused him great anguish.

Therefore, no one in the entire Jin Family mentioned this matter in front of him.

But even though nobody mentioned it, Jin Ming was still full of pain in his heart. He didn't know whether Fang Lan was dead or alive.

He trusted Lu Tianming but didn't believe that with just Lu Tianming being at the Gold Core stage, he could bring Fang Lan back from Lingyue Sect. In these past days, Jin Ming continued to desperately look for ways to escape Jinxiu City and secretly enter Lingyue Sect to rescue Fang Lan!

This may seem naive, but as a man, how can he be indifferent when the woman he loves is taken away?

The Jin Family had a hidden passage which led to a location thirty miles outside Jinxiu City.

Just as Jin Ming was about to fully recover, he finally decided to quietly leave Jinxiu City. However, he first had to deceive his family as none of them would support his crazy idea.

What could a cultivator who hadn't even reached the Gold Core stage do in Lingyue Sect, except die?

So, Jin Ming saw his opportunity to escape everyone's sight and sneak into the secret passage that has been there for several hundred years.

What Jin Ming didn't know was, as soon as he had left, someone quietly passed the information along.

Thus, when Jin Ming finally emerged from the hidden tunnel with a heart filled with trepidation, he found himself facing a nightmare. A group of people from Lingyue Sect were waiting for him.
