To save time, Chu Mo and the two women entered the bronze cauldron first, and then traveled directly to the town where they had stayed before.
Upon arriving at their destination, they summoned a portal to allow the two to emerge again.
Upon seeing him, Nangong Xiu said softly with a look of sympathy:
"My lord, Sister Ruyan and the others asked me to ask you when you will visit them?"
"They stayed inside for more than ten years, and everyone misses you very much."
Chu Mo was stunned for a moment, and felt guilty and heartbroken.
One day outside is roughly equivalent to one year inside the bronze cauldron.
Although for cultivators, time flies when they are immersed in cultivation.
But no matter how fast time passes, if you don't see each other for decades or even centuries, the feeling of longing is still unbearable.
"Brother Chu, you can visit them anytime you want, but why do you only go to see them once in so long?"
Mu Ling looked at him with a puzzled expression, her beautiful eyes filled with confusion.
Chu Mo did not explain, but only smiled bitterly, his eyes filled with complex emotions.
Nangong Xiu turned her head and looked at him quietly, then tightened her grip on his arm, her eyes filled with heartache.
"Sister Xiuxiu, do you know the reason?" Mu Ling couldn't help but ask curiously.
Nangong Xiu sighed with a pained expression:
"My husband is just... worried that he won't be able to complete his mission, and wants everyone to get used to this kind of life in advance."
"He probably already knew what to do with us if we didn't make it through that ordeal."
At this point, Nangong Xiu turned to look at Chu Mo, her face serious:
"But my husband, do you want to know our true thoughts? If you die, no one will want to live on alone!"
"The reason why Xiaoya and Sister Ruyan cultivate so desperately is simply because they hope to have the right to live and die with you!"
"We all know that our strength is insignificant, but we all hope that when that day comes, we can stand with you."
"Instead of hiding behind you and watching you fight alone for everyone!"
Mu Ling then suddenly realized what was happening, and then said with a determined look of deep emotion:
"Brother Chu, Sister Xiuxiu has already told me about your mission."
"If that day really comes, I won't hide behind and watch. Even if I die, I want to die with you."
"Anyway, I, Mu Ling, am already yours for life... Wherever you are, I will be there!"
Chu Mo was deeply moved, then gently pulled the two women into his arms and smiled:
"Don't worry, this world is so beautiful, how could I bear to leave it?"
"So what if he's the creator god? If he dares to stand in our way, then we'll just kill him!"
"Well, if we're going to die, we have to die together. Don't even think about leaving us behind!"
Mu Ling nodded quickly, hugging Chu Mo's arm tighter and tighter.
Completely unaware that his own towering, majestic hill had already been deformed by someone's arm.
The three of them remained silent, walking forward in quiet contemplation, their hearts filled with a mixture of worry and sweetness.
After a while, Mu Ling asked curiously again:
"Brother Chu, is it true what you told my father about opening the Jade Pavilion in another country?"
"In theory, this way we can earn more spirit stones and expand our power."
"But once we step out of Lingfeng Kingdom, others won't give us face. Looting, vandalism, and even interference will definitely happen."
"By then, the losses will be devastating!"
Mu Ling frowned, her beautiful eyebrows furrowed, her pretty face filled with worry.
Actually, there were still some things she didn't say.
Even now, the Lingfeng Kingdom is facing enormous pressure.
Several neighboring countries have openly or covertly expressed their desire to interfere in the business of Jade Pavilion.
Moreover, each opening seemed to have an even bigger appetite than the last.
If Lingfeng Kingdom and their suzerain state weren't both the Star Moon Empire, those people's true colors would probably be even more unsightly.
Mu Ling's eyes showed helplessness.
Our own Lingfeng Kingdom is just a small country in the Southern Region, and it is impossible for it to fight against so many forces together.
If it weren't for the Star Moon Empire backing them, the royal family might have already been replaced.
In the royal family of the cultivation world, everything is decided by strength.
Those with strong capabilities can easily establish their own sect and form their own country.
Those with little power and no connections may be royalty today, but in a few days they might be commoners.
"Ling'er, don't worry. I've already discussed these things with my father-in-law. The Demon Slayer Sect will send people to help manage things from now on, and no one will dare to cause trouble!"
Chu Mo remained calm. He had planned all of this long ago, and now the time was just right.
For a faction to develop rapidly, it naturally needs spirit stones, the most common yet most important cultivation resource.
Moreover, the higher a cultivator's level, the greater their need for spirit stones.
Let alone those who have transcended tribulation, even cultivators in the Mahayana stage consume a terrifying number of spirit stones in their daily cultivation.
therefore,
If you want to quickly improve the strength of the Demon Slayer Sect, spirit stones are definitely an important means.
It can not only satisfy the cultivation needs of sect disciples, but also be used to attract experts.
If the price is right, even a powerful cultivator at the Mahayana stage will be attracted.
Many sects and even royal families would keep such guest ministers and retainers.
When there's trouble, they'll really step up!
At this moment, Mu Ling was still in shock and confusion.
More than half a year ago, she accompanied Chu Mo to the Demon Slayer Sect.
Back then, people's attitude towards him was rather strange, wasn't it?
Although they seemed very polite, there was a subtle sense of distance between them.
