Chapter 147: Leaving the City
Wang Dafa fell out, Chu Mo left. Naturally, the 'Wang Manor' banquet came to an unfinished, unhappy end. As for how many people secretly reported to the Azure Dragon Hall's Master about Wang Dafa, that is unknown.
Even if he knew, it wouldn't matter too much to Wang Dafa. The words Chu Mo has said had been resonating in his mind: If there comes a day when the Azure Dragon Hall faces demise, I hope, big brother, you can come to aid me...
The Azure Dragon Hall facing demise?
How would that be possible?
Not many people knew that the Azure Dragon Hall's Master was actually a secretive, powerful hermit!
A hermit is nameless, a hermit is notorious!
This is universally accepted by all of the warriors on the Four Symbols Continent.
A hermit is nameless, means that most hermits are extremely mysterious, with very few knowing their origins or details; a hermit is notorious, means that all hermits, no matter which one, all possess powerful abilities, which once unleashed, would shake the heavens and earth!
Therefore, the two words "Hermit", on the Four Symbols Continent, mean a top contender!
Chu Mo's Master is most likely a hermit, but behind the Azure Dragon Hall also stands a hermit!
"So... Brother Chu, it's not that I underestimate you. To annihilate the Azure Dragon Hall is a hundred times more difficult than annihilating ten of Great Xia!" Wang Dafa muttered, shaking his head with a sigh.
...…
In the twilight, Chu Mo walked unhurriedly, like a leisurely stroll.
He did not go home but headed toward the Gluttonous Pavilion instead. This had almost become a habit for Chu Mo, even though Miao Yi Niang had already left. But for anything, Chu Mo still felt accustomed to going there.
When Chu Mo arrived at the Gluttonous Pavilion, he first saw Chu Yan and gave her some instructions. He then wrote a letter, asking her to have it sent to the palace, to the Emperor.
Afterward, Chu Mo instructed Chu Yan to tell Xu Fufu to lie low for the time being and refrain from wandering around unnecessarily.
Chu Yan frowned, her eyes filled with worry as she looked at Chu Mo, hesitantly asking, "Young Master, you almost seem like you are …"
"Giving my final instructions?" Chu Mo smiled, seeing Chu Yan's hesitation.
"Speak no such nonsense." Chu Yan chided him.
Chu Mo smiled, "Don't worry, I have some matters to attend to and will be away for a few days. During this time, you too should be careful."
"Are you sure you will be okay, Young Master? Based on some intel I have received, a large number of deputies from various sects have appeared in Yanhuang City recently. Not only are there ones from the Vermilion Bird continent, but there are many from the Azure Dragon Continent. And there are also some foreign spies from other countries that have infiltrated. On the surface, Yanhuang City remains as prosperous and lively as always, but in reality, a murky undercurrent is stirring. Are they all aiming for the soon-to-be-established royal academy of the Piaomiao Palace?" Chu Yan looked worriedly at Chu Mo.
Chu Mo nodded, "Don't worry about these things and don't act rashly! Getting all this intel already shows that our organization is coming into force! You just need to keep up your efforts!"
Chu Yan bit her lip lightly, her voice soft, "Young Master, you must be careful. If anything were to happen to you, I certainly won't be able to live on alone!"
"Don't say such things in the future. Not to mention that there's nothing wrong with me, even if there was, you would have to live on well. You would still need to avenge me!" Chu Mo replied with a smile.
Chu Yan's worried expression didn't lessen a bit. A woman's intuition is always sharp and she felt that Chu Mo was hiding something from her. But Chu Mo refused to speak and there was nothing she could do.
"By the way, Young Master, our organization has been unnamed all this time. Perhaps it's time for you to give it a name?" Chu Yan suddenly suggested.
Chu Mo scratched his head, "Naming isn't really my strong suit, let me think..."
As Chu Mo pondered, he thought to himself: Countless sects, and the situation in the Four Symbols Continent, all cast a large net over him, suppressing his every move.
In his heart, he holds a strong conviction, he must break this net!
He must sever it with a single stroke…
Reach for the Nine Heavens!
After a moment of hesitation, Chu Mo declared, "Let's call it Heaven Slaying!"
"Heaven Slaying?" Chu Yan's delicate eyebrows furrowed as she repeated the name, "That carries a heavy aura of killing, but … it's also very domineering! Sounds good, let's call it Heaven Slaying!"
Soon afterward, Chu Mo bid farewell to Chu Yan, and left the Gluttonous Pavilion, heading straight towards the outskirts of the city at a leisurely pace.
Many people watched him in secret, however, Chu Mo's expression was casual, as if he were going on a spring outing.
That is, if it wasn't already the middle of the night.
In April, Yanhuang City enters early spring.
The weather began to warm, but the wind at night remained somewhat cold. Thus, there were hardly any pedestrians on the streets at night.
"Is that lad really walking out of the city by himself? Is he courting his own death?"
"Could there a be a trap outside the city?"
"Trap my ass! He's just a small fry from the secular world. Even if he uses all the top elixirs of the sects piled up at the risk of his life, he would only reach the realm of the Three Cycles Yuan Pass at most. This Great Xia Kingdom may be a top secular country on the Azure Dragon Continent, but I bet the most powerful defender in the palace is only a Yellow Rank warrior at the seventh level of the Understanding Heart Realm. This kind of powerful person can indeed be troublesome, but why would he come to help this small fry?"
"That's right, even if this powerful person were willing, the secular emperor wouldn't agree! Which secular dynasty would dare to confront us directly? Moreover, emperors need to feel secure, so they would never allow any threat to their safety."
In the darkness, many people were whispering amongst themselves, not able to figure out what Chu Mo's intentions were.
But in their eyes, he was just a youth from the secular world, what kind of tricks could he play?
Naturally, Wang Dafa has his own sources of information. When he heard that Chu Mo had gone to the Gluttonous Pavilion and stayed there for a while, then headed out of the city alone, his first reaction was to immediately order people to stop Chu Mo.
If Chu Mo stays in the city, the people of the Azure Dragon may have some reservations. But once he leaves the city... then they would really be unbridled.
Moreover, who is focused on Chu Mo at this time, except the people of the Azure Dragon Hall?
Those from the Vermilion Bird Association are definitely lying low, watching Chu Mo viciously!
Courters from the Vermilion Bird Continent; those in the Azure Dragon Continent who respond at the first scent of blood... there is no reason any of these people would let Chu Mo, alone, slip out of the city.
That is to say, Chu Mo now, is simply a large piece of sweet dessert emitting a sweet scent, anyone who sees it... would want to take a big bite.
However, Wang Dafa then calmed down.
He remembered Chu Mo's words and deeds since the first day he met him.
After a while, Wang Dafa's furrowed brow relaxed.
A faint smile appeared on his face.
