Three days ago...
Although Chu Mo intended to temporarily escape Yan Wuhen and his group, running away with his senior sister wasn't entirely because he had nothing better to do.
The most important task now is undoubtedly to find the Wood Spirit Stone.
So on that day.
He then traveled alone to Zhongzhou, where the winner was located.
As for Jiang Youwei, she had already gone to cultivate in the Great Array of All Heavens inside the bronze cauldron.
Chu Mo found Jiang Jili, who had arrived earlier, in a quiet old house.
"Xiao Mo, what brings you here? What a coincidence!" Jiang Jili exclaimed with delight.
Because of the senior-junior relationship between Jiang Youwei and Chu Mo, Chu Mo always treated the Jiang family members with personal courtesy.
However, in public, the Jiang family members still refer to him as the leader of the alliance.
In private, everyone was much more relaxed.
After all, judging from the way Youwei and Chumo get along, it's hard to say whether Chumo will become the son-in-law of the Jiang family in the future.
After Chu Mo briefly recounted the events at the Xuan Tian Sect, Jiang Jili's expression immediately turned serious, and he instructed:
"Xiao Mo, you'd better keep your distance from them. Once you accept this relationship, you'll definitely face a lot of constraints later on."
"If the other party is sensible, that will be fine; otherwise, this will be very disadvantageous for you. You are now the leader of the God-Slaying Alliance."
Chu Mo nodded earnestly: "Elder Jiang, I understand."
Nobody wants to suddenly and inexplicably have a bunch of fathers on their head, and Chu Mo disliked it even more.
It's better to nip problems in the bud than to face endless troubles later.
His departure now is truly unexpected; he needs to find a suitable reason.
He could refuse to acknowledge the suddenly appearing Xuantian Sect without hurting his master's feelings for the people of Lingyin Village.
He now hopes that the other party can cause some trouble in the next few days so that he can have a reason to explain himself to everyone.
Without giving it any further thought, he brought up the topic he was most concerned about:
"Master Jiang, has the other party agreed?"
"Haha, you've come at just the right time."
Jiang Jili smiled slightly, and without keeping them in suspense any longer, explained:
"The other party agreed, but he wants to meet you before taking action, probably to test our sincerity."
"After all, for them, this is a gamble with everything. If they fail, the Ying family line will be completely wiped out of Zhongzhou."
Chu Mo couldn't help but sigh softly, "What a disgrace to the winner! A prestigious ancient family, actually controlled by an outsider?"
Thinking of the White Emperor's request, he felt even more frustrated and angry. This Immortal Emperor's inheritance was destined to be out of reach for the winner.
Jiang Jili shook his head with a complicated expression and said:
"Speaking of which, Shangguan Wushuang is also a pitiful person. His father was the previous head of the Ying family."
"His mother, Shangguan Yunduo, was the eldest daughter of a prominent family in the Western Regions, but his father never married her in his entire life."
"So, Shangguan Wushuang is an illegitimate child!" Chu Mo's eyes showed a hint of surprise.
Jiang Jili nodded:
"Indeed, fortunately, his talent is monstrous, unparalleled in the world. Before Youwei, he was considered the most promising person in the Kunlun Realm to become an immortal!"
"That's why he was brought back to the Winners' family and carefully nurtured, eventually crushing all his opponents and officially becoming the head of the Winners' family."
"When he stepped into the Ninth Tribulation, he had completely controlled the Winner, and then he suddenly changed his surname to Shangguan to take revenge on his father."
After hearing this simple story, Chu Mo was filled with emotion.
In this light, Shangguan Wushuang is quite a character, possessing unparalleled talent yet able to be so patient.
That's impressive!
And this person... is very vengeful!
It seems that once you offend him, you have to kill him completely. You can't be soft on this kind of person!
Chu Mo secretly made a mental note of this!
at this time.
Inside the old mansion of the Shangguan family, a white-haired old man with a cold and stern gaze and a burly build suddenly felt a chill run down his spine.
He put down his teacup and looked at Shangguan Feihong standing in front of him, confirming again:
Are you sure no one knows about this?
Shangguan Feihong hurriedly bowed respectfully:
"Father, rest assured, I did all of this myself, and absolutely no one else knows about it!"
"Hmph, nothing in this world is absolute, so always have a backup plan."
After Shangguan Wushuang finished her cold reprimand, she frowned and carefully sensed the mysterious feeling she had just experienced.
Unfortunately, I can no longer sense it.
Who is thinking about me?
He couldn't help but mutter to himself in doubt, becoming increasingly wary as he carefully reviewed his recent actions to see if he had made any mistakes.
At such a critical moment, he would not allow himself to make even the slightest mistake.
Even if it turns out that he was just being paranoid, it wouldn't change his good habit that he'd maintained for tens of thousands of years.
"Prepare another group of the same people, and move the departure time to tomorrow night. I will inform you who to use before we depart."
He was still worried, so he gave his son another instruction.
Shangguan Feihong was clearly used to this. After respectfully agreeing, he turned and left when his father gave no further instructions.
That very night.
It is located about 100 miles outside the old residence of the Shangguan family.
An elderly man with a serene expression sat quietly under a large tree, gazing at the beautiful scenery at the foot of the mountain.
This mountain is not very high, but it is rarely visited by people.
Because many people in Zhongzhou know that this is where the Winners buried their ancestors, no one dares to come here.
