Heaven Slaying Blade

The actions and reactions of the Vermilion Bird Association are naturally clear to the Azure Dragon Hall.

When Piaomiao Palace was destroyed years ago, twelve disciples escaped, taking with them the entire legacy of Piaomiao Palace. The Azure Dragon Hall was well aware of this.

As such, the high-ranking members of the Azure Dragon Hall made a quick decision: no matter what, they must get ahead of the Vermilion Bird Association and seize the legacy of the Piaomiao Palace in Yanhuang City...into their own hands!

The membership of the Azure Dragon Hall is quite diverse, many of them coming from the major factions across the Azure Dragon Continent. Who could resist the allure of the legacy of the Vermilion Bird Continent's former top sect?

The slightly slower response was due to internal disputes within the Azure Dragon Hall over how to distribute the legacy; everyone wanted a larger share and no one was willing to compromise.

As a result, internal bickering within the Azure Dragon Hall dragged on for quite some time. Eventually, they settled on a distribution method that everyone could accept. And so, the Azure Dragon Hall dispatched a large number of its upper echelons and elites to Yanhuang City.

Those present today from the bronze and silver ranks are all significant players with actual power within the Azure Dragon Hall. Even behind the younger ones, there are strong forces supporting them.

One could say that this group from the Azure Dragon Hall didn't come here to target the Vermilion Bird Association. They came for the legacy of the Piaomiao Palace!

With the Azure Dragon Hall's intelligence, it was not difficult to investigate the relationship between Chu Mo and Miao Yi Niang, as well as the various events that recently occurred in Yanhuang City.

Therefore, these upper-echelon members of the Azure Dragon Hall put pressure on Wang Dafa. They wanted him to bring Chu Mo here, and the best outcome, of course, would be for Chu Mo to willingly hand over the legacy of the Piaomiao Palace.

If so, everyone would be appeased.

If Chu Mo refused, then... they would not hesitate to imprison him until he agreed!

Against this, Wang Dafa did not try to persuade these people. He secretly sent a letter to the hall master of the Azure Dragon Hall, but the response dampened his spirits.

The hall master was supporting these people!

Although seclusive individuals might be formidable, the Azure Dragon Hall was not to be trifled with either!

The Azure Dragon Hall was backed by mid-to-high level sects from the entire Azure Dragon Continent. Their network was so formidable that it was almost unimaginable, and they were no strangers to seclusive individuals either.

So, in the entire Azure Dragon Hall, almost no one except Wang Dafa considered Chu Mo a threat.

Wang Dafa initially disagreed with inviting Chu Mo, but he could not go against the majority's will. Therefore, the text in the invitation was very formal. Deep down, he did not want Chu Mo to attend.

Yet surprisingly, Chu Mo came.

Wang Dafa felt both disappointed and touched. It was clear that Chu Mo considered him a friend. His attendance was a show of respect for him.

Therefore, Wang Dafa thought to himself: no matter what, he must not allow Chu Mo to be cornered by these people in his own residence today. Although he hadn't gone out to welcome Chu Mo, he did secretly instruct a confidant to explain the situation to Chu Mo. When Chu Mo entered, Wang Dafa made this gesture.

His intention was to inform the others that he, Wang Dafa, had a special relationship with Chu Mo!

At this moment, Chu Mo could naturally sense the subtle mood in the air.

Subsequently, Wang Dafa introduced Chu Mo to the others at his table.

"This is Guo Xing, a golden elder of the Azure Dragon Hall, as well as an elder of the Golden Saber Sect."

"This is Wan Zhi, a golden elder of the Azure Dragon Hall and one of the Fire Sect's elders."

"This is... Senior Golden Elder Fu Long from the Azure Dragon Hall, and also..."

When Wang Dafa got to Fu Long, the elderly gentleman in his fifties with a white face and no beard suddenly waved his hand to cut him off. Squinting at Chu Mo with a smile that wasn't quite a smile, he asked, "So... you're Chu Mo?"

Chu Mo frowned slightly, displeased. Even Zhao Qing, the elder of the Heavenly Sword Sect who acted haughty and unreasonable, did not say anything to him.

The elders Guo Xing of the Golden Saber Sect and Wan Zhi of the Fire Sect nodded curtly at Chu Mo, their attitudes were neither friendly nor hostile, but they had at least acknowledged him.

So, what was up with this Fu Long? Did he have a grudge against me? Chu Mo silently questioned. However, he quickly picked up on something; Wang Dafa referred to Fu Long as a Senior Golden Elder when introducing him.

It sounded... as if it were a rank even higher than a golden elder.

"Kid, I asked you a question. Are you deaf?" A cold, young voice came from behind the beardless old man, the tone not very friendly.

A flash of cold light appeared in Chu Mo's eyes as he glanced at the speaker.

He was a young man about twenty, handsome but arrogant. His thin lips looked extremely sarcastic as he watched Chu Mo with a provocative look on his face.

Wang Dafa's face immediately turned cold. He looked over and said softly, "Young Master Chu is my guest."

"Heh, Elder Wang, how much gold does your golden elder position actually contain? You know it better than anyone else. It would be best if you don't put on airs when you're in front of me." The young man replied casually.

"You…" A chilly light flashed in Wang Dafa's eyes. His position as one of the golden elders of the Azure Dragon Hall was not a result of association with anyone. Nor was it because he was powerful or resilient enough. His strength lay in his intelligence and formidable ability to do business!

Wang Dafa alone bore around half of the Azure Dragon Hall's various expenses. He was considered the Azure Dragon Hall's personal god of wealth.

Thus, within the Azure Dragon Hall, he was often called the 'great steward'.

This nickname, however, was not entirely positive. Many believed Wang Dafa's cultivation level was too low and making him a silver steward was already enough of a stretch. He did not have what it took to be a golden elder. Such voices were not uncommon within the Azure Dragon Hall. Fortunately, the hall master had always been supportive of Wang Dafa.

Fu Long, sitting there, said calmly, "Why bother arguing with a child, Elder Wang?"

Wang Dafa laughed out of silent anger and said, "Well, as expected of a disciple from a high-level sect like Longevity Heaven. I'm impressed!"

Chu Mo's pupils slightly narrowed; he understood the situation somewhat better.

Longevity Heaven!

This Fu Long and that young man both hailed from Longevity Heaven!

The incident from last year when Chu Mo became a disciple of Longevity Heaven only to be humiliated and leave was not a secret within the sect. Many people had witnessed the event after all.

Therefore, it wasn't surprising that Fu Long and the young man knew about it.

But what Chu Mo didn't understand was, why were they targeting him? Could it be that Fu Long was a friend of the unlikable Seventh Elder?

"Chu Mo, I heard that you once became a disciple of Longevity Heaven, but were expelled due to a lack of talent." Fu Long sat there, looking at Chu Mo casually, "I would've never guessed that in the blink of an eye, you'd turn over a new leaf and become... what, a once-in-a-generation divine doctor? Hehe, that's quite interesting."

Chu Mo glanced at Fu Long, his tone matching the elder's, "Indeed, but how is that connected to you, Senior Golden Elder Fu Long?" (To be continued.
