The news spread like it had wings, reaching every corner of the Ouyang Family almost in an instant. Chu Mo hadn't even entered the gates of the Ouyang Family, yet the entire clan was already thrown into complete chaos. Many were clearly panicked, with a large number of high-ranking cultivators continuously rushing towards the area.

Given the status of the Ouyang Family, they shouldn't have been frightened by just one person. But who could blame them after they had suffered great losses at the hands of Chu Mo?

In a previous encounter, the Ouyang Family had deployed nearly half of their elite forces, led by a cultivator who was half a step into the Spirit Refining realm, only for them to nearly perish completely at Jinxiu City. To this day, the battlefield was still filled with an extremely dense essence energy!

Although the Ouyang Family wanted to make that area a forbidden zone, prohibiting anyone from going there, they ultimately couldn't manage it.

As a result, in recent times, many cultivators had gone there to cultivate.

This act was no different from a harsh slap to the Ouyang Family's face. Yet, they were powerless to stop it!

If these incidents had merely caused the Ouyang Family to feel humiliated and helpless, the events that followed made them even more terrified of the name Chu Mo!

The sole surviving half-step Spirit Refining elder, Ouyang Tu, was defeated, and there were those who whispered that Patriarch Ouyang Tu had not fought with all his might. However, the subsequent incident in the northern Spirit Realm made everyone in the Ouyang Family who knew of it break out in a cold sweat.

What kind of battle could have destroyed the entire northern Spirit Realm? The wave of death was even spreading close to the Ouyang Family's domain. Some powerful Primordial Infant cultivators felt it!

At that moment, they prayed in their hearts, hoping that Chu Mo would die in the northern Spirit Realm and never return!

When top forces surrounded and attacked Jinxiu City, there were voices within the Ouyang Family that thought they should join the fray.

But Ouyang Guanghui felt that getting involved might reveal Chu Mo's identity, and in the end, the Ouyang Family didn't participate in the event.

The outcome of the battle left those who had advocated for their participation dumbfounded.

Even without Chu Mo, Jinxiu City remained impregnable and indestructible!

It was simply outrageous!

A youth who had ascended from the Mortal Realm, in just a few short years, how could he possess such a foundation? How could so many top forces from the Spirit Realm attack and not breach it?

Yet because Chu Mo had not appeared throughout that battle, many in the Ouyang Family felt relieved, thinking he must have died in the northern Spirit Realm. That terrifying killer was finally dead, and they could rest easy.

But before long, some news from Lingdong Mountain spread.

Not only had Chu Mo returned unscathed, but he had also single-handedly subdued the entire Lingdong Mountain with ease!

The master of Lingdong Mountain and his illegitimate son… were both dead!

This was truly a calamity; wherever he went, chaos followed.

Many in the Ouyang Family hadn't even had time to dwell much on this when Chu Mo arrived.

Why did he come to our Ouyang Family first? Why not go trouble the September Sect? Why?

At that moment, many of the Ouyang Family's cultivators felt as if thousands of spiritual beasts were rampaging in their hearts, infuriating them to the point of smoking anger and scaring them witless!

Chu Mo casually stood at the entrance of the Ouyang Family's gate, the evening sun casting a long shadow on him. Many who were alerted by the commotion in the Ouyang Family watched him from a distance. As their gazes landed on his tall and upright figure, their eyes were filled with complicated emotions, and many also bore a hint of schadenfreude.

Now, the Ouyang Family had truly stirred up a huge mess!

They had been in Qingfeng City for countless years, truly reigning as the supreme lords here, never provoked by anyone. When had they ever faced a scenario like today's? Not only was trouble brought to their doorstep, but the Ouyang Family was also in chaos internally.

Ouyang Guanghui had received the news almost instantly, and he was so anxious that his hair was nearly turning white. He quickly gathered the family elders and a group of staff to discuss countermeasures.

"I think, for this matter, we should first calm down ourselves. Let's invite the person in! Also, inform the family's cultivators not to wear such a mournful expression as if attending a funeral, and stop this chaos. Isn't it embarrassing?" an elder said solemnly.

"The issue now is not about being embarrassed or not. The problem now is how we can ensure that today at our Ouyang Family... a war does not break out!" another elder said with a bitter face, "The strength of this young man is beyond doubt. So, let's invite him in first."

"Why should we? Our Ouyang Family has already suffered severe losses, so many people have been killed by him, even Patriarch Suo... fell by his hands. Why should we compromise with him? If we compromise today, the dignity of our Ouyang Family will be utterly lost! To restore it... may take hundreds or even thousands of years!"

"Exactly, I also disagree with compromising. Even if Chu Mo is powerful, he is ultimately just one person. His identity is no longer a secret among those major forces at the September Sect! Why not join forces with other major powers to eliminate this youngster completely. Otherwise, what standing will our Ouyang Family have in Qingfeng City?"

"I disagree with this approach!"

"I think..."

"I believe..."

Ouyang Guanghui sat there, his head aching from the noise, with half supporting a compromise and half supporting continuing the fight, each presenting their own rationale. It was impossible for him to make a choice.

"Let's invite the person in first." At that moment, along with an aged voice, a slight figure walked in from outside.

"Patriarch Tu!"

"It's Patriarch Tu!"

"Patriarch Tu has arrived!"

This time, when the high-ranking members of the Ouyang Family saw Patriarch Tu, the past disdain and contempt were nowhere to be seen, and they all felt a genuine affection from the depths of their hearts.

Because by now, he was the last hope of the entire Ouyang Family.

Upon seeing Ouyang Tu, surprise flashed across Ouyang Guanghui's face. He nodded and looked at several elders, "You go and invite him in first, remember... do not offend him. Just say... we will meet him immediately!"

The elders who were named all showed faces of humiliation, but at such a time, they could only toughen up and meet Chu Mo.

Otherwise, surely they couldn't actually have the family head personally go out and invite that young man in, could they? If it came to that, then the entire Ouyang Family would indeed have completely lost its dignity.

"Patriarch Tu, what do you think we should do?" Ouyang Guanghui looked at Ouyang Tu with a bitter expression.

He tried hard to recall in his heart what had caused the grievance between Chu Mo and himself. It was only now that he suddenly remembered, it was because of his incompetent son, Ouyang Pingdong...

At this moment, Ouyang Guanghui, who usually spoiled his children, even felt an urge to devour Ouyang Pingdong.

If it weren't for you, little beast, how could our Ouyang Family have provoked such an enemy?
