boom……

After the loud bang, the weeds and trees within a radius of a kilometer were instantly wiped out.

Even the small hill not far away had long since disappeared without a trace.

The five people, their breaths weak and listless, lay on the ground dozens of meters away, barely breathing.

His clothes were tattered, his hair was disheveled, and blood kept flowing from the corner of his mouth.

At this moment, they were completely bewildered and stunned.

The opponent is not a mid-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator!

It's not even a high-grade Foundation Establishment stage!

It's a Golden Core cultivator!!!

Otherwise, it wouldn't be enough to explain what just happened. Only a Golden Core cultivator could crush them like that when the five of them joined forces.

This person is absolutely terrifying.

It seems that only the archbishop himself could defeat him.

The archbishop, however, is a being who surpasses even a high-ranking archmage!

Chu Mo gave them no chance to escape and acted swiftly.

As the golden runes entered their minds, the five of them were stunned for a moment before their gazes toward Chu Mo gradually changed from confusion to fervent awe.

"Who are you?" Chu Mo asked calmly.

The old man with a black moon tattooed on his forehead quickly and respectfully answered.

My name is Ghost Apprentice, and I am the head of the six guardian elders of the Ancient God Cult. The other four elders are James Bond, Karalugudin, Lincoln Lawland…”

"Stop. From now on, you will be called Long Yi, and they will be called Long Er, Long San, Long Si, and Long Wu. They are all guardians of the Dragon Hidden Pavilion. Remember that?"

Chu Mo was completely baffled by their names and quickly interrupted.

And I casually gave them a few simple and easy-to-remember names.

"Yes, Master!"

The group looked delighted and quickly bowed respectfully in response.

It seemed that being given a name by Chu Mo was an immense honor.

"From now on, don't call me master, call me Pavilion Master."

"Yes, Master!"

"Long Yi, why is the Ancient God Cult so determined to obtain the formula? Is there some special reason?" Chu Mo asked curiously.

"Reporting to the Pavilion Master, it's because the Archbishop wants to use Kunlun Immortal Wine to quickly increase his strength in order to cope with the possible calamity that may come."

"What? A calamity that will last for a moment?"

Long Yi's answer immediately shocked Chu Mo, leaving him utterly astonished.

Did he say when the impending calamity would arrive?

Chu Mo really didn't expect this.

The other party actually believes in a calamity that will last for a while? And they're even making urgent preparations for it.

This is not good news.

For some reason, he felt a sense of panic at that moment.
