Seeing this unusual phenomenon, Chu Mo quickly activated his full spiritual sense to observe carefully.
In his perception, the stone bead was attracted by his laws and Dao principles, which is why it emitted that kind of light.
Why did the stone bead remain unchanged in the hands of Venerable Cangyuan?
Chu Mo was puzzled, and after glancing at Cang Yuan, he suddenly seemed to be deep in thought.
That old dog definitely has ulterior motives!
But he couldn't guess what the other party wanted to do for the time being.
Moreover, he had just checked and found that there was no divine imprint left on the bead.
Was his purpose simply to see if he could change the beads?
A certain possibility occurred to him, and he felt a chill run down his spine, but his face showed curiosity as he asked:
"Elder Cangyuan... what is the purpose of this bead?"
Out of habit, I almost blurted out the words "old ghost".
However, considering a certain possibility, Chu Mo decided to hold back for the time being.
Venerable Cangyuan seemed oblivious, simply looking at him calmly and smiling:
"This item was a gift from a good friend. It has the miraculous effect of gathering the essence of the five elements. It is very beneficial for cultivators to carry it with them during cultivation."
"Haha, I see. Then thank you for your gift, Holy Lord."
Chu Mo laughed heartily and clasped his hands in a respectful greeting, his attitude gentle and polite.
"Not at all, I'm glad you like it, Young Master Chu. As the saying goes, no fight makes a friend, so we'll be friends from now on."
Venerable Cangyuan also laughed heartily, his face beaming with joy.
How could you tell that the two were once mortal enemies who fought to the death?
Many people who watched it secretly cursed its hypocrisy.
But no one exposed it; instead, they smiled and agreed.
Even Zeng Mushen and the others fell silent, their eyes filled with doubt.
They knew something was amiss, but for the time being, they couldn't quite figure out the other party's true intentions.
One can only remain secretly vigilant.
"Young Master Chu, Lord Xiahou, and Sect Master Zeng, now that the misunderstanding has been cleared up, why don't you allow this old man to extend his hospitality?"
Venerable Cangyuan spoke warmly, his smile gentle and calm.
It was as if an old friend had invited me.
"No, I have something to do. Let's do it another day. I'll definitely come to visit next time."
Chu Mo smiled and shook his head.
As for the gray bead, he had already put it into his spatial ring.
Seeing Chu Mo's firm attitude, Venerable Cangyuan did not insist any further. After exchanging a few polite words, he watched everyone leave.
After Chu Mo and the others left.
Venerable Cangyuan exchanged pleasantries with the other cultivators who had undergone tribulation for a few more moments.
He then made up an excuse and vanished from the spot in an instant.
...
As soon as Chu Mo and his group left the Boundless Holy Land, the others began to discuss it amongst themselves.
The most puzzled person was none other than the god of the past.
"Young master, what exactly happened? How did you manage to reconcile with that old ghost?"
"Yes, young master, this isn't like you at all. If you ask me, just ignore him!"
Yu Jingzhi, who looks as refined as a scholar, speaks very directly.
The others quickly nodded in agreement, but Xiahou Nan and her father looked at Chu Mo with thoughtful expressions.
They believed Chu Mo was not doing this out of politeness.
There must be other reasons.
Moreover, this reason is very likely related to that strange bead.
"Everyone, I will explain this to you when we get back. Now, let's leave immediately!"
Chu Mo's smile vanished, and his expression became extremely solemn.
"good!"
Although no one asked any more questions, they began to worry.
It looks like... things aren't looking good.
The main hall of the Demon Slayer Sect.
All the high-ranking members of the sects, as well as Xiahou Nan and his daughter, and Guan Banshan, were present.
Chu Mo pondered for a moment before looking at Xiahou Nan and saying solemnly:
"I know Your Majesty has many questions, but there are some that are simply not convenient to disclose at the moment. Please forgive me."
Xiahou Nan laughed heartily, completely unconcerned, and said calmly:
"Young Master Chu is overthinking it. Everyone has their little secrets. If it's inconvenient to talk about, then don't."
"All I want to know now is your opinion on this arranged marriage."
"Ah! Your Majesty, Princess Xiahou is a good girl, but I really don't have much of a plan for her right now. I have some things to do that are quite dangerous, and I don't want to implicate you."
Chu Mo was completely dumbfounded. He hadn't expected the other party to bring up this matter again.
Didn't I make myself very clear last time?
Also, aren't you afraid of embarrassing your daughter by asking her that to her face?
Looking at Xiahou Ruoxi, whose face was flushed with embarrassment, Chu Mo was speechless.
"Young Master Chu, I know you have important matters to attend to, and they will be very dangerous. If possible... I don't want Xi'er to live such a life."
Xiahou Nan glanced at his daughter, his face full of helplessness.
"But there are some things... even parents can't make decisions for their daughters."
At this moment, Xiahou Ruoxi could no longer sit still and hurriedly interrupted her father.
"Father, these things... can be discussed later. Let Brother Chu talk about the important matters first."
Xiahou Nan couldn't help but glare fiercely at his precious daughter, inwardly complaining.
You were the one who hinted to me to bring it up, and you were also the one who told me not to say it.
But he kept quiet as instructed.
Chu Mo couldn't help but chuckle to himself; being a doting father to one's daughter is no easy task.
However, thinking of Venerable Cangyuan's matter, he couldn't laugh anymore and sighed:
"Elders, immediately give the order to recall all disciples and close the mountain gate!"
These words caused an uproar throughout the hall, and everyone couldn't help but look at Chu Mo, asking in shock:
