Heaven Slaying Blade

The first time he met Chu Mo was at the Fengyun Auction House. At that time, Chu Mo was still an unfamiliar young man.

His disguise technique was simply astonishing. If it were not for his deduction based on various pieces of information, he would never have believed that the young man had any connection with Chu Mo.

Despite his young age...even to the point of being a teenager, Wang Dafa never dared to underestimate Chu Mo in the slightest.

This is a young man who hides his power within the hustle and bustle of the city, he's audacious, meticulous, and incredibly proud!

No matter who, anyone that underestimates him will surely swallow a bitter pill.

"So, he wouldn't do anything brainless! Could it be... his master has appeared?" Wang Dafa's eyes widen suddenly.

At the same time, he recalls Chu Mo's words: if the Azure Dragon Hall falls one day, I hope that you, old brother, could help me...

"This is truly a pace to upset the heavens!" Wang Dafa couldn't help but inhale sharply.

A heart that had been silent for many years doesn't know why, but it suddenly feels a surge of excitement, causing it to pound ceaselessly; his calm blood also suddenly feels as if it's about to boil!

"If you can really do it... if you can really punch a hole in the sky, then I, old brother, am more than willing to wreak havoc alongside you. What's there to lose?" Wang Dafa squints his eyes, stands up, and heads towards the secret room. At this point in time, he also needs to make his move.

Since he wants to punch a hole in the sky together with Chu Mo, there's no reason to let Chu Mo shoulder all the responsibility.

"I need to do something too!" Wang Dafa mutters, his figure disappearing into the tunnel.

A truly remarkable merchant is one who has the courage to take risks during critical moments!

...

Chu Mo's walking pace seems unhurried, but it isn't slow. Leisurely strolling, Chu Mo had arrived at the city gate.

By now, the city gates were closed. The soldiers guarding the gates saw Chu Mo and immediately yelled from afar, "The city gates are closed, turn around and leave. If you want to leave the city, come back tomorrow morning!"

The guards did not recognize Chu Mo, but people who wanted to leave the city late at night were common. Therefore, they didn't pay much attention to Chu Mo.

Chu Mo smiled and raised a token, "I am Chu Mo, the grandson of General Fan Wudi. I need to leave the city for some urgent matters, I hope you will allow me to pass."

"Chu Mo? Are you Young Master Chu?" A soldier among the guards walked over to Chu Mo's side and took a close look. Then, he carefully examined the token.

Although things were peaceful now, opening the city gates was no minor affair. If something were to go wrong, it wouldn't only be the ordinary soldiers held responsible, but also the general guarding Yanhuang City.

The soldier only took a few glances at the token before hesitating and then, with a respectful face, he returned the token to Chu Mo, "Please forgive us, Young Master Chu, we were just doing our duty!"

Then the soldier immediately told his comrades, "Open the small door and let Young Master Chu out!"

This man must be a squad leader. After he gave the order, the few soldiers immediately opened the small door in the city gate to let Chu Mo out.

Although it was called a small door, it was actually more than ten feet tall. When it was opened, it emitted a heavy sound. As the main gate of the capital, it was extremely sturdy. Even a siege hammer couldn't break it.

Chu Mo thanked these soldiers and walked out directly.

The small door was immediately closed. A curious soldier asked, "Captain, even if he is the grandson of Senior General Fan, shouldn't we have broken the rules by letting him out like this?"

The soldier who had initially received Chu Mo responded in a deep voice, "What do you guys know? The token he had belongs to Marshal Fang!"

"Good heavens... he actually had Marshal Fang's token!"

"Being high-born is indeed different..."

"If only we could become auxiliary generals someday, then our lives would be complete..."

A group of city guards began to chatter. It was tough to be on duty in the chilly spring night. Fortunately, they now had a topic interesting enough to last them throughout the night.

The group of people secretly following Chu Mo heard everything clearly.

One of them sneered, "He needed to pull strings just to leave the city, he couldn't even get past these city walls. I refuse to believe that such a person would have any tricks. Keep chasing!"

"The city wall may be high, but it's nothing to us. We can come and go as we please. Only a worldly person like him would think of using his connections to leave the city. We don't know why he's leaving the city yet, but perhaps he's trying to escape."

"Would he be strolling like that if he wanted to escape?"

"Fool, he's trying to confuse us. He might sprint away as soon as he's outside the city!"

"Hmm, could that be possible?"

"Can't we just go out and see?"

A group of powerful sect members moved as fast as rabbits and hawks, leaping over the high walls of Yanhuang City, rushing out of the city.

By the time they made it out, Chu Mo was nowhere to be seen.

Unable to help himself, someone cursed on the spot: "What a crafty little thing, no ambush, no trick, nothing! He clearly just wanted to run away!"

"Chase him!"

"If we, a large group of people, can't even catch a small thing like that, we might as well just stop living!"

With that, the group dashed out of the city.

The ones who first followed him out were almost entirely from the Azure Dragon Hall. Just as the saying goes, 'Those near the water have first access.' The entire Azure Dragon Continent was their territory. Ordinary people didn't stand a chance against them.

But is that really the case?

Not necessarily.

Not long after the men from the Azure Dragon Hall gave chase, hundreds more figures jumped over the ancient wall of Yanhuang City, disappearing into the vast night.

This group was from the distant Vermilion Bird Continent!

Their movements were even faster than those from the Vermilion Bird Association!

This... had to do with their private interests.

Every member of the Vermilion Bird Association wished for their backing sect to catch Chu Mo and get the inheritance first. Therefore, they directly transmitted the news back, making the group from the Vermilion Bird Continent move even faster than the Vermilion Bird Association.

Following them, dozens of figures from the Vermilion Bird Association leaped over the city wall, charging outside the city.

After that, hundreds more figures rushed out. These were people from the sects on the Azure Dragon Continent.

This is the biggest difference between the Azure Dragon Hall and the Vermilion Bird Association!

While the people from the Azure Dragon Hall maintained close ties with their backing sects, they first considered the interests of the Azure Dragon Hall, and then the interests of their sects. These were the rules set down since the establishment of the Azure Dragon Hall.

The main reason was that the Hall Master of the Azure Dragon Hall was a recluse!

But the president of the Vermilion Bird Association came from a sect.

As dawn emerged in the east, and the darkness over Yanhuang City broke, thousands of people swarmed out of the eastern gate of the city.

Even the emperor, upon receiving the news, was taken aback.

The recent happenings in Yanhuang City did not escape the notice of the highest ruler of the secular world, the emperor.

However, between the two parties, there existed a tacit agreement of 'do not offend me, and I will not offend you.' As a result, the emperor merely watched the scene quietly.

But when he heard that Chu Mo had left the city using the token that Fang Mingtong had given him, the emperor felt uneasy. He immediately summoned Fang Mingtong and Xu Zhongliang.
