When Chu Mo and his companion returned to the Godslayer Alliance, the first thing they did was call Zheng Jingnian out and ask him seriously:
"Think back carefully, after you obtained that biography, did anyone else know its contents?"
Despite his puzzled expression, Zheng Jingnian firmly shook his head without hesitation and said:
"I am certain that I am the only one who knows about this matter, and I have not told anyone else."
He thought about it carefully and then added:
"However, when I rented a boat from the Forbidden Sea Bureau, the person in charge did ask where I was going. I only said I was going to the Forbidden Sea in the Western Regions, and didn't say anything else."
"Master, has this matter already been leaked?"
Zheng Jingnian wasn't stupid; he immediately realized that his master's questions were definitely not unfounded.
Chu Mo's expression turned serious, and he nodded:
"Do you think it's possible that the Shangguan family learned about this news at that time?"
"The Shangguan family?"
Zheng Jingnian looked surprised, but his expression quickly turned increasingly grim, and finally he said with shame and anger:
"No wonder I always felt like someone was spying on me; I thought I was just being too nervous."
"Now it seems I must have been followed by the Shangguan family. How despicable!"
Chu Mo and Jiang Jiren exchanged a glance, then asked with slight confusion:
"Elder Jiang, something doesn't seem to add up. Could it be that the Shangguan family's last spirit boat didn't break down two years ago?"
Jiang Jiren looked certain:
"That's right. We should only listen to half of what these old foxes say."
Chu Mo sighed deeply:
"If everything is as we suspect, do you think they obtained the Wood Spirit Stone?"
"Hard to say!" Jiang Jiren shook his head slightly.
"Even if they have a spirit boat capable of diving into the ocean, finding a small stone in the eye of the forbidden sea is like looking for a needle in a haystack."
"The dangers involved are far beyond what people can imagine!"
Chu Mo's eyes showed helplessness: "Then besides using the Sea-Diving Spirit Boat, is there really no other way to dive into the Forbidden Sea?"
"No!"
Jiang Jiren simply shook his head, then looked at him with a wry smile and said:
"You haven't been to the Forbidden Sea Eye, otherwise you wouldn't ask this question. That place is too terrifying. Even a Ninth Tribulation cultivator can only look at it."
"Trying to go down is suicide!"
Chu Mo's eyes showed helplessness. He had already made a rough judgment about the matter, so he continued to ask:
"Elder Jiang, if the Shangguan family really obtained the Wood Spirit Stone, is there any other way for us to get it?"
He didn't want to compromise his bottom line for the sake of something; he still wanted to uphold some basic principles.
But when it comes to the Five Elemental Stones... that's a different story!
This thing is too important. He wouldn't hesitate to kill someone to get it, let alone steal or rob it!
Jiang Jiren looked at him quietly and smiled:
"Although I don't know why you are so determined to get this thing, I believe you must have a reason why you have to do it."
"If the item is truly in the hands of the Shangguan family, it's impossible to get them to hand it over voluntarily."
"However, a cultivator should act only according to their conscience. If one can be at peace with oneself, then whatever one does is the greatest principle in the world!"
Jiang Jiren spoke casually, but his words were incredibly domineering.
Chu Mo couldn't help but laugh out loud, agreeing, "Elder Jiang is right, we share the same view!"
"In that case, let's investigate secretly first. If it really is at the Shangguan family's house, then we'll go and demand it directly. If they refuse, we'll just steal it!"
Jiang Jiren couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat as he listened.
Is this young man really that audacious? He meant that if he were really with the other party, he would secretly plan the theft.
You actually went to their door to ask for it?
If you don't give it to me, I'll just take it?
But this method... is indeed very efficient!
Zheng Jingnian listened with great excitement, his master was truly domineering and decisive!
He truly deserves to be the leader of the God-Slaying Alliance.
This is the true role model for us cultivators!
Zheng Jingnian looked at his master with fervent adoration, his eyes sparkling with excitement.
It's like a hermit who has found his faith in life.
As for whether there was anything wrong with this behavior, he didn't even think about it; after all, they were shamelessly stalking him.
So what if you snatched it yourself?
Chu Mo had no idea what his newly accepted disciple was thinking, and even if he did, he wouldn't correct him.
Cultivators are different from ordinary people; in fact, it could be said that there are no proper rules in the entire cultivation world.
Even if such a system exists, it is designed for the weak.
The strong only respect strength.
Of course, a strong background is also part of one's strength.
Aside from that, there's nothing wrong with being a bit domineering.
Just then, Jiang Youwei burst in, saw Chu Mo, snorted coldly, and dragged him away:
"Junior brother, come with me!"
"Ah! Senior sister, what's wrong?" Chu Mo looked completely bewildered.
"Disciple greets Senior Uncle!"
Zheng Jingnian hurriedly bowed respectfully, but when he looked up again, not only was his senior uncle gone, but even his master was nowhere to be seen.
Jiang Jiren stroked his long beard, watching the two senior and junior disciples walking hand in hand into the distance, a smile on his face.
Youwei, from a young age, has been the most beautiful and talented girl in the Kunlun Realm. She has always been arrogant and looked down on everyone.
Hehe, now she finally has someone she cares about!
This person, in particular, is unanimously recognized as the number one prodigy in the Kunlun Realm in millions of years and the leader of the God-Slaying Alliance.
That would be an even greater blessing!
Compared to all of this, what Jiang Youwei actually wanted to do with Chu Mo was no longer important.
At least for now, Jiang Jiren doesn't care about these things.
But Chu Mo was very curious.
There aren't many things that would make my senior sister so reckless, so I couldn't help but ask again:
"Senior sister, what exactly happened?"
"Why ask? You'll know when you see the person."
Jiang Youwei's cheeks flushed slightly. Only then did she realize that she was still holding her junior brother's hand, so she quickly and casually let go of his hand.
Chu Mo couldn't help but feel a sense of loss. He had to admit that his senior sister's hands were just as perfect as she was.
Her fair fingers were soft and boneless, round and slender, and simply holding them in one's hand was an ultimate pleasure.
If we develop some other features...
Cough cough...
He didn't dare to think any further and obediently followed behind his senior sister, walking silently...
My eyes always seem to wander off-target.
As a cultivator undergoing tribulation, Jiang Youwei possessed incredibly sharp senses. How could she not know what he was looking at?
This time, however, she didn't hit his head.
Instead, he quickened his pace with a slight panic and headed towards the main reception hall ahead.
