Chapter 1576 Let Them Go
"You..." At this moment, Guo Xiu's heart was truly filled with regret. If she had known it would turn out like this, she would have sent her back from the start!
Now, it's too late!
Even though the rules in the tunnel were different from other places, with a strong suppression on cultivators, this kind of distance did not allow for any reaction from Guo Xiu.
The three of Chu Mo... had already charged forward!
The five ancestral realm cultivators who had been blown away earlier, along with the sixth who hadn't made a move, all rushed over frantically.
If something happened to Guo Xiu and Guo Yaoyao, they wouldn't survive either.
But the speed of Chu Mo and his companions was too fast, and their eyes were too sharp!
Actually, when Chu Mo rushed over, he was directly heading for Guo Xiu!
The aura of a superior on Guo Xiu was too strong, clearly different from the other five ancestral realm giants, who were almost dead-seeming and lacked any superior aura.
But Guo Xiu was different, standing there, majestic and imposing, anyone could tell he was a big figure.
At this moment, Guo Xiu made a huge mistake!
His earlier behavior showed he was a bit too concerned about Guo Yaoyao!
Zi Dao might not have noticed, but people like Chu Mo and Meng Na were sharp-eyed.
"That little girl... is more important!" Meng Na's eyes showed a cold glint.
He was a true Gray Land creature, not even human, filled with hostility towards all beings in the tunnel. So, coming to the tunnel, he was inherently the most reckless.
But Chu Mo reminded him with his divine sense: "You're no longer considered a Gray Land creature now! Don't harm them."
Meng Na quickly realized, giving Chu Mo an apologetic smile: "Then let's... capture her!"
Boom!
Boom!
Chu Mo and Meng Na, each launched an attack directly at Guo Xiu!
Guo Xiu was already apprehensive, and facing two strong ancestral realm giants alone, his momentum weakened significantly. But at this time, he couldn't retreat even a step, he could only brace himself... and take the blow from Chu Mo and Meng Na.
Zi Dao wasn't much different either!
Communicating with Chu Mo and Meng Na through divine sense, he could hear it too. So, he grabbed directly at Guo Yaoyao.
At this time, Guo Xiu was so angry he was beyond rage, roaring out with divine sense: "What kind of act is bullying a little girl?"
But no one listened to him!
Guo Yaoyao, a little girl without any combat experience, surprisingly showed incredible calmness at this moment.
With a lift of her hand, she attacked!
A chilling aura struck directly at Zi Dao.
"Well, not bad!" Zi Dao was genuinely surprised that a little girl of the Great Saint Realm could unleash an attack not much weaker than an ancestral realm. Even he had to step aside to avoid the edge.
"Villain!" Guo Yaoyao shouted angrily.
Yet ultimately, the gap in realm was too large; in the blink of an eye, Zi Dao had already reached her, and quickly controlled the little girl in his hand. Then he coolly said to the furious Guo Xiu: "Stop, General."
"You... you shameless people!" Guo Xiu was really going mad.
"Shameless or not, it's pointless to discuss that." Zi Dao said calmly.
At this point, the six ancestral realm giants also flew in, ready to take action against Chu Mo and his companions. But they all immediately noticed Guo Yaoyao being controlled. Inside everyone's mind, a million Gray Land creatures were galloping past.
They all silently cursed Guo Xiu: Are you fucking stupid? How could you let this little ancestor come out to watch?
The six ancestral realm giants didn't even need Guo Xiu's reminder and immediately stopped.
Guo Xiu had made the first serious mistake earlier, and now the six ancestral realm giants made the second serious mistake.
Their actions already clearly indicated that this girl was quite important. But even knowing this, Guo Xiu and his group had to make this mistake. Because Guo Yaoyao... was just too important!
If something really were to happen to her, Guo Chang would go insane and turn the entire extreme cold frontier upside down!
By then, even the Cold Ice Family wouldn't be able to suppress the matter.
Seeing this scene, Chu Mo was immediately amused, then glanced at the icy-faced young girl Guo Yaoyao, and said to Meng Na: "Easier than we thought."
Meng Na was overjoyed as well. He had never encountered such a situation in his numerous incursions into the tunnel before. He nodded: "Simply too easy!"
The two didn't hide their conversation, and Guo Xiu and others "heard" it clearly, their faces incredibly sour.
"Let her go, she's just a child." Guo Xiu took a deep breath and said to Chu Mo and his companions, "I'll let you go!"
"We are insatiable Gray Land creatures." Meng Na said expressionlessly, "How could we let her go?"
"You... what do you want to release her? Name your price. Otherwise, use my life to exchange for hers?" Guo Xiu said.
"Brother!" Guo Yaoyao said angrily, "You can't do this! Don't compromise with these villains!"
Meng Na smiled and said, "Friend, you're overthinking it. This little girl's life is obviously worth more than all of you. No trade."
Wow!
Guo Xiu was so angry he spat out a mouthful of blood.
Chu Mo, standing by, said, "You don't need to worry. We actually don't have as much malice as you think. Otherwise, it wouldn't be just the three of us coming over, but countless beings from the Gray Land."
Guo Xiu's chest heaved, and the six ancestral realm powerhouses all looked at Chu Mo. Of course, they could see Chu Mo was a human, and a very powerful one at that, but they didn't understand what Chu Mo was trying to do.
"We're just passing through here, borrowing a passage. We're taking this girl with us first. Once we reach a safe area, we'll naturally release her," Chu Mo said as he looked at Guo Xiu. "We won't harm her. Nor do we want to have too much conflict with you. Do you understand what I mean?"
"I understand, but I can't make that decision." Guo Xiu sighed, looking at Guo Yaoyao with a face full of guilt, then said, "The only one who can decide is our General."
"Oh, he's already here." Chu Mo said flatly.
At this moment, a cold snort echoed from the distant sky, "Let them go!"
"Dad!" Guo Yaoyao immediately shouted, her face full of fearless courage, "Ignore me, kill these bad people!"
"..." Guo Xiu.
"..." Chu Mo.
"..." Meng Na.
"..." Zi Dao.
"..." The six ancestral realm powerhouses.
Everyone looked at Guo Yaoyao speechlessly.
Guo Yaoyao looked back at them puzzled, thinking what's wrong? Wasn't what I said right? Wasn't my courage enough? Why is everyone looking at me like that? Such strange expressions?
Even more speechless than these people was General Guo Chang!
He was not thinking about his daughter being in danger, nor was he resenting Guo Xiu. Although he was cold, he was not heartless. Otherwise, how could he be so loving towards his daughter and the so-called "god" that everyone else looked down upon? What he thought of first in his heart now was that he had really been wrong all these years!
This was a treacherous land!
So dangerous that life could be lost at any moment!
But he had cultivated his most beloved daughter into a little white flower in this place!
So naive it was foolish!
If she had seen the true dangers here from a young age, if she understood this world a little earlier, she wouldn't have shouted 'Dad' just now or said those words.
Guo Chang thought in his heart and then sighed, descending from the sky.
More than a dozen cultivators exuding ancestral realm aura followed him, eyeing Chu Mo and his companions closely.
"Don't harm my daughter, I'll let you go," Guo Chang said solemnly, looking at Chu Mo's group, his gaze finally landing on Chu Mo. Those eagle-like eyes shot out two sharp glimmers.
As a general guarding the rift all year round, Guo Chang's eyes were incredibly sharp. He instantly saw that Chu Mo was the core among the three. He looked at Chu Mo, maintaining a steady, cool voice, "If my daughter has even a hint of trouble, loses a single hair... I will hunt you to the ends of the earth and the edge of the universe! No matter how powerful the forces backing you are, I won't let you go!"
After speaking, Guo Chang looked at his daughter, his voice softening, "Yaoyao, don't be afraid. Dad's here!"
"Mhm, Dad, I'm not afraid of these bad people!" Although Guo Yaoyao was still controlled by Zi Dao, her expression betrayed no fear.
"Good, as expected of my daughter!" Guo Chang said, glanced around, "Let them go!"
"General..." One of the ancestral realm cultivators hesitated, "If we do that... what about the family?"
"If anyone dares to make a noise!" Guo Chang said coldly, "I'll kill them!"
The corner of the ancestral realm cultivator's mouth twitched slightly and then he closed his mouth. Clearly, he knew his general's temper well, and this wasn't just an empty threat.
Chu Mo glanced at Guo Chang, then looked at Zi Dao and Meng Na, "Let's go!"
Guo Chang looked at Chu Mo, hesitated for a moment, then said, "Go southeast."
Chu Mo looked at Guo Chang and said nothing.
Guo Chang said, "Only that direction is safe. I'm not doing it for your survival; I'm doing it for my daughter!"
Chu Mo nodded, "Alright!"
Then, the three of them, taking Guo Yaoyao with them, directly headed in that direction.
Guo Xiu and the others wanted to follow but were stopped by Guo Chang.
Guo Xiu looked at Guo Chang, puzzled, "General... what if they..."
"Yes, General, the beings from the Gray Land can't be trusted!"
"General, we should at least follow to protect Miss's safety..."
Guo Chang raised his hand to silence the crowd, saying, "They won't harm her."
Having said that, Guo Chang turned and left.
