Several days later, at the Spirit Realm Ping Family.

The land where the Ping Family resided was an endless vast plain, and upon this plain, there stood six cities.

Each city was no smaller than Jinxiu City, and these six cities were all under the Ping Family's domain.

This plain was called Ping Family Plain!

Here, the Ping Family was the true overlord, an uncrowned king.

The legitimate descendants of the Ping Family were the princes of Ping Family Plain, and the Ping Family's daughters were the princesses!

This territory spanned hundreds of thousands of miles!

But at this moment, the entire sky above Ping Family Plain was shrouded in a tense atmosphere. Everyone's expression was filled with seriousness.

The events that had occurred at the Fire Sect a few days ago had already been relayed here. As a result, the Ping Family had become tense because they were the closest major power to the Fire Sect!

Although many other powers lay between them, those powers had not participated in the previous attack on Jinxiu City. Therefore, it was very likely that Chu Mo's next target would be the Ping Family.

Previously within the Ping Family, there were those who wanted to seek peace proactively, but in the end, their voices were suppressed, and the elder who advocated for peace was even stripped of his elder status. But nobody expected the situation to change so drastically in just a few days.

The Fire Sect, which had always been exceptionally tough, was quickly suppressed. Although it wasn't completely destroyed, it was severely wounded and debilitated.

What's more frightening was that Chu Mo, before leaving the Fire Sect, publicly declared that the Fire Sect would be expelled from the Spirit Realm!

These words were too harsh!

It was as if he had downright pronounced the death sentence of the Fire Sect.

Because nobody knew whether the Fire Sect would disobey and continue to exist in the Spirit Realm with those three words in their name, or if Chu Mo would pay them another visit.

And if Chu Mo really did make another visit, whether the outcome would be the same as the first... nobody dared say.

Anyway, ever since Chu Mo left the Fire Sect, even though there were still millions of disciples, no more voices were heard from them!

They were scared!

So, was the Ping Family scared or not?

In any case, those who had previously clamored about how they would deal with Chu Mo if he came to the Ping Family had now completely lost their voices.

The elder who was stripped of his position just a few days ago was, unnoticed... quietly reinstated. Moreover, the family had even held a meeting for this. The content of the meeting was only known to a few high-level members of the Ping Family.

Anyway, the Ping Family was no longer as arrogant as before, having become much more low-key.

The six cities were all inhabited by the Ping Family's collateral branches. The true direct lineage of the Ping Family had always lived by a huge lake deep within Ping Family Plain, their ancestral land, never having left this place since ancient times.

Inside the Ping Family's ancestral estate, many people were hurrying about, with countless houses being emptied and belongings taken away.

The most important was their ancestral hall. All the ancestral tablets had already been taken away. They even removed the plaque from the ancestral hall.

They were preparing for the worst, fearing that Chu Mo might suddenly appear there and destroy their ancestral land.

If the ancestral hall collapsed, would they not become criminals of the Ping Family?

"I said... you shouldn't have attacked Jinxiu City in the first place. You wouldn't listen to my advice. Later... when the statue of the Blood Demon Ancestor exploded, after we received the news, we should have pulled out immediately. Ah... what now... with things like this, the whole clan is in a state of panic. If this continues, I fear our Ping Family... might be finished," an elderly man well into his seventies said with a bitter face, sitting at the round table in the Ping Family's council hall.

"Ancestor, the situation has reached this point, discussing who is right and who is wrong is meaningless. Now, the urgent matter is how we can stop Chu Mo... I don't want to become a criminal of the Ping Family, and I definitely don't want the Ping Family to suffer the fate of the Fire Sect!" said the Patriarch of the Ping Family, a man older than fifty with a pale, beardless, and very portly face. But now, his face was filled with worry.

"Patriarch, our Ping Family... don't we have an ancestral artifact? It's said that this ancestral artifact is a dharma instrument passed down from the Heavenly Realm by our ancestors. If it's unavoidable, let's resort to the ancestral artifact!" suggested one of the elders of the Ping Family.

The Patriarch of the Ping Family had not yet spoken when the Ancestor glared angrily at the elder who had spoken: "Ignorant fool, do you want to drag the entire Ping Family into the abyss before you're satisfied?"

The elder didn't dare to talk back to the Ancestor, but in his heart, he was somewhat unconvinced.

The old Ancestor of the Ping Family said in a deep voice: "Is the foundation of the Fire Sect inferior to our Ping Family? What was the result? More than a hundred top experts, among them quite a few nearly at the Spirit Refining stage, and then what?"

There were more than a dozen people sitting around the round table in the council hall, but at this moment not a single one made a sound.

The chilling voice of the Ping Family's old Ancestor continued: "In the time it takes an incense stick to burn... all of them were crippled! Listen well! They were crippled! Chu Mo didn't kill them, but he completely destroyed their cultivation. That pain is even worse than death, do you understand? Understand?"

The old Ancestor of the Ping Family was so angry that he slammed the table: "Do you think you are stronger than those top experts of the Fire Sect? If I let two of you gang up on one of them, could you easily cripple your opponent?"

"Speak up!" the old Ancestor of the Ping Family glared at everyone: "When Chu Mo was in the Spirit Realm and still an innate warrior, he already made a huge name for himself! Use your pig brains and think about it, if he were a mediocrity, why would a being like the Realm Spirit of the Spirit Realm protect him? Blood Demon Ancestor once was the strongest cultivator in this Spirit Realm, what happened then? The North Pole of the Spirit Realm was completely ruined! Do you know why? Are you pigs? Not using your brains, are you?"

The Patriarch of the Ping Family stood up, walked over to the Ancestor, and gently patted the Ancestor's back, trying to console him: "Ancestor, don't be angry, although everyone feels very unwilling, in fact, they've realized their mistakes. Now we should quickly think of a way to resolve this issue."

The old Ancestor of the Ping Family heaved a heavy sigh: "No solution! Unless Chu Mo gives up on his own. But is that likely? You never thought of giving up at that time, did you?"

At that moment, an elder spoke timidly: "Ancestor, I've heard that Chu Mo has many beauties by his side, maybe we could..."

"Shut your mouth!" the Patriarch of the Ping Family became enraged, glaring at the elder: "I can't believe you'd come up with such an idea; even if our Ping Family falls into despair, we don't have the practice of sending out women to sue for peace!"

However, on the face of the old Ancestor of the Ping Family, there was a hint of interest as he spoke indifferently: "There was no such precedent in the past does not mean we can't have one now."

"What? Ancestor... you... this..." The face of the Patriarch of the Ping Family showed a mix of sadness and anger.

"What's this 'what'? You might want to give, but perhaps he doesn't want to accept!" The old Ancestor looked at the Patriarch of the Ping Family indifferently: "Ouyang Tu, that nearly Spirit Refining powerhouse from Qingfeng City's Ouyang Family, didn't he obediently go and become a servant to Chu Mo? If someone nearly at the Spirit Refining stage can do so, are the daughters of our Ping Family more noble?"

The Patriarch of the Ping Family froze, his face filled with grief and anger, but he had no words to say.

Just then, someone came to report: "It's bad, it's bad... Ancestor, Patriarch... all the elders, Chu Chu Chu... Chu Mo... he's here!"
