Upon hearing this voice, the six distinguished elders standing at the front hurriedly led the group to greet them.
His expression was respectful and eager.
Even the three old men, whose strength had reached the Dao Integration stage, showed the same respect.
The patriarch of the Zeng family is the current sect leader of the Demon Slayer Sect, a highly accomplished master who has survived three tribulations.
Even within the entire Southern Region, they are among the very top figures.
For the people of Furysea City, they were like gods.
"Senior Zeng, it's been several years since we last met. You are even more radiant than before. It's truly a cause for celebration."
An elderly man with white hair, who was at the head of the group, eagerly pushed his way forward, smiling obsequiously and bowing with his hands clasped in greeting.
"What Patriarch Liu said is correct. In my opinion, Senior Zeng is probably not far from passing the fourth tribulation. It is truly a blessing for Nuhai City."
"Yes, if it weren't for Senior Zeng, Angry Sea City would probably have been conquered by the Ancient Demon Wasteland three thousand years ago. How could we be where we are today?"
The heads of the other two powerful families in the city also flattered him without being outdone, completely disregarding their image as Dao Integration stage experts.
After all, what I said was mostly true.
"This junior, Yang Tiansheng of the Yang family of the Blazing Flame Kingdom, greets Senior Zeng."
After the group of bigwigs had finished flattering him, Yang Tiansheng finally found an opportunity to speak.
Even though the other party merely nodded indifferently, he didn't care at all and continued with a fawning smile:
"Senior Zeng, you may not know this, but that boy is the one who killed my son. I have come here today to hunt him down."
"Now he dares to arrogantly invite a senior to meet him; he deserves to die. Why don't I, the junior, take action and kill him?"
"Don't worry yet!"
Zeng Mushen simply waved his hand dismissively at his suggestion, paying no further attention.
At that moment, he was looking at his grandson with curiosity and asked in confusion:
"Xiaoye, is he the one who brought the token and asked Grandpa to come and see for himself?"
Upon hearing his question, many people gloated, especially Yang Changsheng, whose eyes revealed a hint of smugness.
He didn't believe that Chu Mo really had any connection with the Demon Slayer Sect.
Rather than believe those things, he preferred to believe that the other party was desperate and resorted to this tactic.
Their aim was probably simply to seek the protection of the Demon Slayer Sect after meeting Elder Zeng, using their talent or his teleportation-capable treasure.
Unfortunately, despite their prestigious status, the Demon Slayer Sect would never risk offending the Yang family for this reason.
After all, the Yang family is a large family, although it is far inferior to the Demon Slayer Sect, but its foundation is equally profound.
With that thought in mind, Yang Changsheng put aside his last bit of worry and leisurely watched the excitement.
"Grandpa, it's him. Do you recognize that token?"
Zeng Ziye pointed at Chu Mo, a hint of curiosity also appearing on his face.
Ultimately, the reason he was willing to call his grandfather over was because deep down he felt there was something fishy about the matter.
Perhaps what this person holds has some deep connection with the Demon Slayer Sect.
"oh?"
Zeng Mushen looked surprised, then couldn't help but look Chu Mo up and down.
This young man had an extraordinary air about him, but his aura was very strange.
He couldn't help but feel shocked.
You must know that he is a cultivator who has transcended tribulation; his understanding of the Great Dao is beyond the comprehension of ordinary cultivators.
Logically speaking, even if the other party has cultivated a technique to conceal their cultivation level, they would still have nowhere to hide from him.
But now, he can't even see through the other party's cultivation level?
This young man is definitely not simple!
When he saw the other party pull out a golden token, his expression changed drastically.
"How could you... have this token?" Zeng Mushen's body trembled, his eyes filled with frantic excitement.
As soon as he finished speaking, he reached out and the token in Chu Mo's hand was already in his hand.
Everyone who saw the change in Zeng Mushen's expression was deeply shocked.
Could this token really have some significant connection to the Demon Slayer Sect?
"Grandpa, what... what's going on here? And what does this token have to do with our Demon Slayer Sect?"
Zeng Ziye was also completely bewildered.
He had never seen his grandfather so excited since he could remember.
Unfortunately, the shocked god Zengmu had no time to answer his beloved grandson.
A pair of eyes that had seen the vicissitudes of life stared blankly at Chu Mo, her expression extremely complicated.
But the person who was most anxious at this moment was none other than Yang Changsheng.
It seems like this kid really has a close relationship with the Demon Slayer Sect.
If that's the case, how can I avenge my son?
Is it even possible that the Demon Slayer Sect might turn against his own Yang family for his sake?
"This token was given to me by my master. He told me that if I need any help, I should come to you."
Chu Mo stared straight at him, asking calmly:
"Do you recognize this token?"
Do you still recognize it?
Upon hearing this question, Zeng Mushen couldn't help but smile wryly to himself; of course he recognized him!
The design on this token is one that all elders and higher-ranking members of the Demon Slayer Sect must memorize.
Accompanying this token is a secret precept of the sect that has been passed down through the ages.
"Once the Emperor issues his decree, the entire sect will follow him to the death. Anyone who disobeys will be executed along with the entire sect!"
In other words, this gold token is the ancestral token of the Demon Slayer Sect.
Even the sect leader must obediently follow the orders of the command holder.
How could he not recognize him?
I wonder what the relationship is between the other party's master and that legendary figure?
Zeng Mushen looked at Chu Mo for a long time before nodding with a complicated expression and saying:
"I recognize it!"
The moment he uttered those two words, he felt a heavy weight in his heart.
The Demon Slayer Sect has been rooted in the Kunlun Realm for millions of years, and has now developed into one of the top sects in the Southern Region, with numerous disciples.
Some things happened so long ago that many people no longer take them seriously.
But now, such an ancestor has suddenly appeared. How should the sect deal with this token in the future?
To be precise, the question is, how should we deal with this young man who holds the Emperor's Token?
Should we follow ancestral teachings and henceforth blindly follow his lead? Or...?
Chu Mo could actually guess a thing or two about his complicated feelings.
This is like having worked hard to amass a fortune of hundreds of millions.
One day, however, he suddenly discovered that a stranger had more rights to use these assets than he did.
Even if you want to spend money, you have to consider the other party's attitude.
If it were me, I'd probably be tempted to kill.
Chu Mo believed that the other party must have had this thought the moment they held the Human Emperor Token in their hand.
It's just unknown what kind of effect the Great Dao oath that the Human Emperor planted in the bloodline of the other party's ancestors will have.
Therefore, he was always on edge and dared not be careless in the slightest.
He would flee the place immediately if he sensed anything was wrong.
"He is my enemy, and he came here to kill me."
Chu Mo pointed at Yang Changsheng, his expression calm and composed.
He wants to see.
What will the other party choose?
