Heaven Slaying Blade

The young man from Longevity Heaven was the quickest to react. When he discovered his level had slipped from Yellow Rank's five-layered Iron Blood Realm to Iron Bone Realm, he panicked only for an instant but soon regained his composure.

Indeed, coming from a top-tier sect made a difference.

He looked at the frenzied crowd around him and shouted, "Enough! What's all the yelling about? Will it change the outcome?"

These people had always held him in high regard; at this moment, they needed someone to step up and stabilize their emotions even more.

"Senior Brother Meng, your realm also…"

"I'm just like you!" the young man coldly asserted, before addressing the crowd. "Right now, there are two possibilities for our current state. First, a formidable power in the vicinity has taken action. Although I've never heard of anyone who can seal off another's elixir field, it doesn't mean it's impossible. Second, there's something strange about this place. We might try to leave this place to see if that changes anything."

"Senior Brother Meng is right, let's try leaving here!" others in the crowd chorused in agreement.

The young man nodded, leading the group of people to move on.

However, the outcome filled them with despair, because the people they encountered elsewhere shared their bewildered expressions.

Even without asking, they could tell that these people encountered the same situation as them.

As they had yet to see their enemy, the young man's face grew increasingly gloomy. Furthermore, he couldn't comprehend the motive behind these actions.

At that moment, someone in the group suddenly said, "Could that Chu Mo... be at the Yellow Rank four-layered Iron Bone Realm?"

"Possibly, after all, he definitely won't go beyond the Yellow Rank five-layered!" someone else pitched in.

The young man from Longevity Heaven's eyes sparkled as he muttered, "Could it be that... someone intentionally suppressed our levels to this tier to make our fight with Chu Mo fair? This... this is too absurd! Even if our levels have been suppressed, altogether, we still have thousands of people!"

"All of us should unite!" A man looked toward the young man from Longevity Heaven. "Given the current situation, which is completely beyond our expectations, I think it would be better for us to band together."

The young man from Longevity Heaven nodded, "You're right. However, unity involves the challenge of leadership. If we're disorganized when faced with danger, it'll be better for us to fend for ourselves."

"That's simple, we all know you are a prominent young figure from Longevity Heaven. You also hold a very high position in Azure Dragon Hall." the man replied, "We'll listen to your command."

The man then turned to the others and asked, "What do you guys think? At least that's what I think!"

"We couldn't agree more, the young figure from Longevity Heaven is trustworthy!"

"Right, at this time, we must unite. We still trust the reputation of Longevity Heaven!"

Among the group, those with dissenting opinions didn't voice their disagreement in such circumstances. Thus, the two groups immediately merged, around seventy or eighty in all, temporarily following the lead of this young man from Longevity Heaven.

"Senior Brother Meng, what do we do now?" someone asked beside the young man.

The young man surveyed the crowd and softly asked, "Do you guys think there's still a chance for us to seize the Inheritance?"

Bitter smiles spread across the faces of the crowd as they responded, "Senior Brother Meng, are you joking? Given our current predicament, it's clear a powerful figure is responsible. Even if they aren't favoring Chu Mo, at the very least… they aren't favoring us. Under such circumstances, thinking about seizing the Inheritance? We should focus on staying alive!"

The young man nodded, "That's what I thought as well. Therefore, we should turn back! I believe, as long as we leave, our problems will naturally be resolved."

In the crowd, several people couldn't help but voice their discontent and proposed their own opinions.

"I believe, this might be some powerful figure's sick joke, just testing our patience and determination. If they wanted to kill us, they could have taken direct action; why would they bother doing this?"

"Exactly, that powerful figure, who could easily seal the elixir fields of us Iron Bone Realm, and even Golden Stone Realm martial artists, naturally has the ability to kill us outright. Since they haven't taken action, it shows we still might have a chance in this situation."

"Even I, possessing Golden Stone Realm prowess, was instantly suppressed to Iron Bone Realm, as though over half of my power had been sealed! If the predecessor wanted to kill me, a mere thought would have been sufficient! Therefore, I think there is a deeper meaning behind this." said an elder in the group.

Among the people gathered there were seven or eight of the Golden Stone Realm. Previously they hadn't disputed the leadership of the young man from Longevity Heaven for one of two reasons: they didn't want to offend Longevity Heaven, and they wanted to observe the course of events before making their move.

Therefore, seeing the youth from Longevity Heaven showing signs of pulling back, they were naturally dissatisfied. In their view, even if Chu Mo was strong, he was just an Iron Bone Realm martial artist at most. Even though there were around seventy to eighty people there, there were still over a hundred behind them.

Could all these people still not defeat Chu Mo?

Such a thought was nothing short of a huge joke!

The youth from Longevity Heaven appeared unhappy, knitting his brows, and sternly said to the Golden Stone Realm elder who suggested the idea, "Senior, even though you might not sense any danger, I feel completely shrouded by it! Therefore, if you still wish to find Chu Mo, and yearn for that Inheritance, please feel free to do so. However, please forgive me for being unable to accompany you."

At this moment, this powerful young man from Longevity Heaven, was showing none of the domineering attitude he'd shown facing Chu Mo earlier. Instead, he was extremely composed!

This was the kind of disciple only a big sect could cultivate.

When in power, freely exhibit his true nature. But when facing danger, operates with utmost calmness.

The elder of the Golden Stone Realm felt a little insulted. Although the young powerhouse from Longevity Heaven was very polite in his words, it was undoubtedly an accusation of his impulsive behavior.

Just when he wanted to refute, from afar, a roar suddenly erupted, "Chu Mo... you..."

Then the roar abruptly ceased.

It's like a rooster in mid-crow suddenly having its throat seized.

The group was startled and immediately turned to look in that direction.

They saw people several miles away, all rushing to one spot like madmen.

"Chu Mo has been spotted! The Inheritance is on him! Brothers, let's get him and the Inheritance is ours!"

"Surely, it's due to some anomaly in this place that our realms have been sealed. But we are still strong Iron Bone Realm warriors at rank four. Go... capture Chu Mo; the Inheritance will be ours!"

"The Piaomiao Palace Inheritance is far superior to our sect's martial arts! Even if only a piece of it is acquired, we'll be rich!"

With a series of roars, dozens of people several miles away simultaneously pounced in one direction!

The young man from Longevity Heaven, along with everyone else, suddenly… drew a sharp breath! (To be continued. If you like this work, please head over to qidian.com to vote and show your support. Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users, please visit m.qidian.com for reading.)
