Thinking of this, Venerable Cangyuan suddenly stopped and exclaimed loudly:
"Chu Mo, your cultivation at such a young age is truly a once-in-a-millennium achievement."
"It would be a real shame to kill you here."
"But since you killed an elder of my sect, you must be punished."
Seeing the other party suddenly pull this stunt, Chu Mo was completely bewildered. What trick was this old guy up to now?
He glanced at the ancient sword in his hand, then at the greed in the other person's eyes, and immediately understood.
Then, unable to contain himself, he burst into mocking laughter:
"Old man, do you perhaps want this bone sword in my hand as compensation?"
Seeing his secret exposed, even the thick-skinned Venerable Cangyuan couldn't help but feel slightly embarrassed.
He coughed and quickly covered it up, saying:
"I am the head of a sect, how could I possibly take your things without permission?"
"However, your crimes are too great; without punishment, there will be no warning to the world."
"How about this, if you lose later, I won't kill you, I'll just take your bone sword."
"When you reach the Eight Tribulations Realm in the future, I will return it to you in its entirety."
In order not to give anyone cause for gossip, Venerable Cangyuan deliberately used his magic to transmit his words to the ground when he spoke.
The entire audience was immediately shocked.
No one expected that Chu Mo would insult him like that, and that he had even killed one of his elders before.
Why hasn't Venerable Cangyuan killed him yet? Is it because he truly values talent? Or is it out of fear?
Pei Tianxing also frowned deeply, feeling extremely disappointed.
Cang Yuan's decision not to kill Chu Mo was far beyond his expectations. Wasn't the other party afraid that his disciples would have something to say about it?
It seems that Chu Mo's master has indeed frightened Cang Yuan.
In fact, he really wanted to see Cang Yuan and Master Chu Mo have a great battle.
In that case, the person behind the Boundless Holy Land will inevitably show up and join the battle.
Then he can reap the benefits and completely crush the Wuji Holy Land.
Based on his guess, Master Chu Mo was at least an eighth-tribulation cultivator, and possibly even a ninth-tribulation cultivator!
With such a powerful figure participating in the battle, dealing with the person behind the Boundless Holy Land will be a sure thing.
That old dog is really cautious!
Pei Tianxing felt regretful, but his expression remained calm, and no one could tell what he was thinking.
As for the disciples of the Wuji Holy Land and people from other sects, although they had doubts, they still did not forget to flatter them.
"Our Holy Lord is truly benevolent, magnanimous, and broad-minded!"
"Indeed, the Holy Lord disregarded past grievances to leave a genius for the Southern Region; it is truly admirable!"
"Yes, such noble character is a model for us all, and we are ashamed to admit our inferiority!"
Once someone starts talking, the rest of the people talking become smoother and smoother, their flattery becoming incredibly nauseating.
Upon hearing these words, Zeng Mushen had already begun to sneer.
"Cang Yuan, you are truly hypocritical. You want to take advantage of your age to bully the young and seize the immortal artifact from my young master, yet you speak so righteously."
"You're going to ruin the reputation that the Wuji Holy Land has built up over millions of years!"
Zeng Mushen's words immediately caused shock throughout the audience!
A celestial artifact?
It really is a celestial artifact!
Although there have been many rumors before, none of them have been confirmed.
Now that these words came from the mouth of the God of Shepherd, everyone instantly believed them.
No wonder Venerable Cangyuan could disregard the grudge of his elders being killed.
If I could really obtain a celestial artifact through this, I wouldn't care about killing one elder, or even several.
Many sect leaders immediately looked on with envy and admiration.
pity.
Let alone that they don't have the opportunity, even if they did, they wouldn't be able to seize it.
After all, Chu Mo was a monstrous talent capable of slaying cultivators at the fourth tribulation level.
In the entire Southern Region, how many people can defeat him?
Upon hearing Zeng Mushen's words, Venerable Cangyuan blushed with embarrassment, then angrily retorted:
"Zeng Mu Shen, how could I, the dignified lord of this holy land, possibly take advantage of him?"
"He wants to challenge me? Fine, as long as he can withstand three of my moves head-on, I, the Holy Lord, will consider him the winner, and all past grievances will be wiped clean!"
Upon hearing this, many people immediately cursed the old fox in their hearts.
Taking three moves head-on is a completely different matter from taking three moves face-to-face.
Taking three blows head-on means that Chu Mo has no choice but to confront them directly.
This allows the player with the higher skill level to maximize their advantage.
Although three moves seem like very few.
But if we go all out, that's enough to determine the winner.
in short.
Although it seemed like he was giving way, Chu Mo didn't actually gain much advantage at all.
"Cang Yuan, you are truly shameless! What difference does it make whether you give in or not?" Xiahou Nan couldn't help but shout angrily.
"He's treacherous and cunning inside, yet he puts on a righteous front. He's truly not a human being!" Zeng Mushen cursed angrily.
As for Xiahou Ruoxi, the young girl was already flushed with anger.
However, Venerable Cangyuan, despite his ashen face, turned a deaf ear to this.
She stared straight at Chu Mo, her face displaying a look of deep compassion.
"This is your last chance, I hope you cherish it!"
Chu Mo felt disgusted, but was too lazy to expose his hypocrisy, and sneered:
"If you lose, the Boundless Holy Land is so poor, what treasures will you use to gamble?"
The fact that the number one holy land in the Southern Region was being looked down upon like this infuriated Cang Yuan.
He suppressed his anger and roared:
"Boy, my Wuji Holy Land is rich in resources and has many treasures. If I lose, not only will the Thunder Control Mace be yours, but you can also choose any other treasure from the sect!"
Chu Mo scoffed, "Old man, are you stupid? Two pseudo-immortal artifacts can't compare to the bone sword in my hand?"
