After leaving the Lingyue Sect, Liu Hai did not immediately lead his team into Jinxiu City because he heard that a team from the Lingyue Sect was still stationed there. He dared not go, fearing an accident might occur there.
Later, when news of the Lingyue Sect's disaster spread, the team that had stayed in Jinxiu City was also killed by Chu Mo, who had assumed the identity of Lu Tianming. Only then did Liu Hai dare to lead his team into Jinxiu City. To his surprise, he encountered no difficulties there.
It was later that he learned that a City Lord had surprisingly emerged in the city!
This was a rare occurrence, as Jinxiu City had never had a City Lord before—it was the first in history! Moreover, it was all the big shots in the city who had... elected him!
As time passed, Liu Hai came to know more and more, and he admired Lu Tianming tremendously, though he was of too low a status to witness Lu Tianming's grace. Meanwhile, Liu Hai also heard some rumors about Chu Mo.
He knew he was another exceptionally talented young man, but it was a pity that after entering the Qingxu Sect ruins, he had completely disappeared. Many people speculated that Chu Mo might have met with misfortune.
Thus, when he heard the name Chu Mo from this group of ferocious and powerful cultivators, Liu Hai was momentarily startled.
But in that moment of distraction, the opponent caught a flaw.
Just as Liu Hai was about to unconsciously say he didn't know, a cultivator at the Primordial Infant realm swooped over, grabbed Liu Hai by the collar, and threatened in a deep voice, "If you tell the truth, I will give you a tremendous benefit, but if you dare to lie, I will annihilate your whole team!"
Feng Ni and others by Liu Hai's side instantly drew their weapons and surrounded the Primordial Infant cultivator.
The cultivator from the Ouyang Family snorted coldly, his Primordial Infant aura bursting forth and immediately forcing everyone to kneel on the ground, unable to move.
"Speak!" the Ouyang Family's Primordial Infant cultivator shouted.
With a twitch at the corner of his mouth, Liu Hai struggled to say, "I... I have heard of this person, in Jinxiu City!"
"Jinxiu City?" Ouyang Guangda's face changed slightly, and he said in a deep voice, "When I contacted my family using the transmission stone earlier, they all said they had no news... It seems they have been deceiving me!"
A confidant of Ouyang Guangda nodded, "If this name has indeed appeared in Jinxiu City, then they... should have received the news long ago! But no one from the family has mentioned it... Haha, my lord, let's head straight to Jinxiu City now! If we let those people get there first, they will not kill him!"
A trace of resentment flashed through Ouyang Guangda's eyes as he sighed, "I never thought that my own brother... for the sake of profit, would also forget the affection between siblings."
"My lord should not blame the family head, on this matter... the family head has to consider the interests of the entire family. But we are different, what we need to do is to avenge the young master!" the confidant said, walking toward Liu Hai with a pleasant face, "Do not be afraid, tell us everything you know, and we will reward you!"
Liu Hai looked at the man warily and said in a deep voice, "I do not want your reward, just do not kill us."
Feng Ni and the others beside him all showed a look of humiliation; such is the sorrow of being a rogue cultivator.
Facing an ordinary outer disciple of the Lingyue Sect, they had to swallow their pride; now, facing a powerful cultivator, they had to endure as well.
"Why would we harm you without any reason? There is no enmity between us." The confidant of Ouyang Guangda smiled, "I am from the Ouyang Family of Qingfeng City, and if you ever come to Qingfeng City, just mention the name Ouyang Guangliang, and no one will dare to trouble you."
"Yes, go ahead and tell us what you know. We will not make things difficult for you," Ouyang Guangda finally spoke.
Only then did Liu Hai fully relax, naturally seeing that the person before him was the leader of the opposition. Since the leader had spoken, there shouldn't be any problems.
Therefore, Liu Hai recounted what he knew to Ouyang Guangda and the others. At the same time, he thought to himself: I do not know Chu Mo personally, and since he has already disappeared, I am not really betraying him.
Ouyang Guangda, after listening, furrowed his brows and asked, "When did this happen?"
Liu Hai thought for a moment and said, "It has been a long time."
The disappointment was evident on the faces of everyone around Ouyang Guangda. At that moment, a trusted aide beside Ouyang Guangda asked, "Jinxiu City... What has happened there in the last two years? Tell us about it."
After thinking for a while, Liu Hai recounted the major events that had occurred in Jinxiu City over the past two years.
That trusted aide glanced at Ouyang Guangda and said, "Your Majesty, this Lu Tianming... he's a bit strange."
"Oh?" Ouyang Guangda looked puzzled. "What can this man have to do with Chu Mo?"
The trusted aide replied, "Chu Mo disappeared and then there appeared a Lu Tianming, with a divine mastery of the blade... young and talented, awesomely powerful, and more than half a year ago, he suddenly brought back a group of women as lovely as flowers..."
Hiss!
All the people from the Ouyang family inhaled sharply, their faces showing shock as they looked at Ouyang Guangda's aide. Excitement also flashed in their eyes.
After hearing his aide, Ouyang Guangda instantaneously felt something was amiss.
So it is said that in this world, the most feared thing is the intentional person. People within Jinxiu City might not notice anything, but outsiders can easily sense something unusual.
"Using a blade..." Ouyang Guangda mused, murmuring, "In the Cultivation Realm of the Spirit Realm, there aren't many cultivators famous for their blade skills. Counting them, there are only a few. Lu Tianming uses a blade, and so does Chu Mo! Chu Mo killed my son and took those women away, and suddenly... there are numerous women around Lu Tianming."
As he spoke, a chilling glint flashed through Ouyang Guangda's eyes as he said, "No matter what, we must go and see for ourselves!"
"Exactly, at this point, maybe our family members have already received this news!" Ouyang Guangda's trusted aide said, "After all, we are not the only clever ones!"
"Good, let's depart immediately for Jinxiu City!" said Ouyang Guangda.
"Your Majesty, these people?" asked a Primordial Infant cultivator, his eyes gleaming with cold murderous intent as he looked toward Liu Hai and the others.
Ouyang Guangda waved his hand, "Give them some elixirs and resources. They are our benefactors!"
"Your Majesty... what if the word spreads?" The Primordial Infant cultivator seemed reluctant to let Liu Hai and his companions go.
Liu Hai and the others immediately gathered together, all of them looking tense and fearful as they eyed the powerful cultivators of the Ouyang family.
"What kind of word can spread? We're targeting Chu Mo, not a bunch of butchers!" Ouyang Guangda frowned and shot a cold glance at the Primordial Infant cultivator.
"Yes, Your Majesty, I was wrong," agreed the Primordial Infant cultivator, bowing his head.
"Alright, let's hurry, I can hardly wait to meet that person. If it is him, I will definitely not let him go!" said Ouyang Guangda.
At that, some people from the Ouyang family brought out a few elixirs and spirit stones and gave them to Liu Hai and his companions, then quickly followed Ouyang Guangda as he hurriedly departed.
