"Benefactor, Heaven cherishes life, so why do you harbor such great resentment?"
The old monk in gray robes held prayer beads in his hands, his round face filled with compassion for humanity.
Coupled with the enormous Buddha image appearing behind him, his appearance was even more dignified and solemn.
However, he didn't stop Ouyang Zhongtian when he was about to kill someone.
Now that they've discovered Chu Mo's strength is too great, their attempt to keep Ouyang Zhongtian around to restrain him seems rather ridiculous.
Another burly, one-armed old man glanced at Chu Mo and then smiled calmly.
"Young man, you managed to kill Ouyang Zhongtian so badly that he begged for mercy. Even I, an old man, am deeply impressed by your strength."
"However, Ouyang Zhongtian's crime does not warrant death. It is not easy for us cultivators to have reached this point. You cannot kill him!"
The old man spoke calmly and simply, but the meaning he conveyed was extremely domineering.
To put it bluntly, they cannot allow a certain balance to be broken.
If the two sides are evenly matched, they can fight however they want without any consequences, and the authorities will not interfere.
But now, it's clear that one side has the upper hand over the other, so they have to support the weaker side so that they can continue to restrain their opponent.
Otherwise, all the pressure will fall on them.
Ouyang Zhongtian's ally abandoned him at the last minute, but his rival came to his aid when he was facing life and death.
It has to be said, the world is a wonderful place.
However, if you look at it from the perspective of interests, you will find that many things are quite reasonable.
Most of those present were seasoned veterans, so while they were surprised, they weren't entirely unexpected.
Ouyang Zhongtian's former allies all lit up at this moment, and immediately responded with laughter:
"Master Wudao and Venerable Mingyue, you are indeed extraordinary people who live in seclusion. You are truly of noble character and compassionate heart."
"Although Palace Master Ouyang's words and actions were inappropriate, they do not warrant death. Young master, why don't we stop here and explore the Forbidden Zone of the Sky together? Wouldn't that be wonderful?"
"Indeed, the Celestial Forbidden Zone has always been dangerous. We should all work together to unlock its mysteries."
The group of people above the lake had stopped breaking the formation and were all looking at Chu Mo with calm expressions.
Ouyang Zhongtian's allies, meanwhile, began to try to smooth things over, their attitudes gradually hardening.
With the support of the old monk Wudao and his companions, they had absolutely no reason to fear Chu Mo.
The plastic alliance, which was on the verge of falling apart, was temporarily pieced back together.
The others around watched the spectacle calmly, remaining silent.
Only the girls from the Myriad Flowers Sect looked indignant and angry.
However, there was nothing they could do.
Even if their sect leader had arrived, there would only be four Transcending Tribulation cultivators. How could they possibly fight against these two groups?
At this moment, even Zeng Mushen and Lu Zhiqi shook their heads solemnly at Chu Mo.
They were clearly worried that in his anger, he might offend Master Wudao as well.
Three against six is already the limit, and there's also the potential deterrent effect of the immortal artifact in Chu Mo's hand.
To put it bluntly, the other person was frightened, not completely subdued.
Although Chu Mo's terrifying combat power is also an important reason.
But that's by no means the only factor!
If others really choose to force their way in, they will definitely suffer.
At this point, it's natural not to provoke other powerful figures.
Otherwise, the outcome will be dire.
Chu Mo naturally understood and was able to accept the current delicate situation.
He suddenly burst into laughter, his expression quickly returning to calm, as if he hadn't been the one so enraged as to want to kill someone.
"Master Wudao and Venerable Mingyue, right? I also think what you said makes sense. Then you continue breaking the formation, and I'll look around."
After saying that, he actually turned and left. When he came to Lu Zhi Qiu's side, he politely cupped his hands and asked for her guidance:
"Senior Lu, what is so special about this Celestial Forbidden Zone?"
Lu Zhi Qiu couldn't help but give him a deep look, inwardly admiring him.
To be able to control one's emotions so well at such a young age is far more commendable than simply being recklessly brave.
This child has the appearance of an immortal!
Lu Zhi Qiu snapped out of his reverie and then solemnly introduced:
"The so-called forbidden zone in the sky is this vast lake in front of us, which has been formed for at least several million years."
"Legend has it that it is a celestial abode, containing items that can help people become immortals, and is one of the seven forbidden zones of the Kunlun Realm."
"But its most terrifying aspect is not the barrier beneath the lake's surface, but... the unknown!"
"Unknown?" Chu Mo's eyes widened in surprise, his face filled with bewilderment.
What does this mean?
Lu Zhi Qiu nodded, a look of fear involuntarily appearing on his face.
"That's right, nobody knows what's behind this barrier, but no one who goes in has ever come out."
"Seven thousand years ago, a cultivator at the ninth tribulation stage, feeling hopeless about becoming an immortal, decided to force his way into the forbidden zone to fight for a last glimmer of hope."
"After they went inside, they also disappeared without a trace, their fate unknown."
At that moment, everyone around fell silent, their hearts heavy and disheartened.
Beneath the lake, the barrier, jokingly referred to as the last chance for survival, can be considered the final guarantee for humankind's survival.
Because if you can't break through, you can't go down, and therefore you don't have to die.
But once the barrier is broken and you enter, it's basically a death sentence!
Chu Mo frowned, puzzled, and asked:
"If it's so dangerous, why are you all still gathered here, preparing to go down and die?"
These words pierced the hearts of the surrounding cultivators undergoing tribulation, causing them to feel annoyed and irritated.
Sending them to their deaths?
