Heaven Slaying Blade

Shalan glanced at Gu Bingbing, then took a deep look at Chu Mo, before turning around and leaving without a word.

In a rustling sound, three thousand members of the Shalan Bandits quietly left in an instant, disappearing swiftly above Canggu City without hesitation.

Chu Mo's eyes narrowed slightly, feeling that the Shalan Bandits were not like ordinary bandits, but more like a group of well-trained elite soldiers! They were definitely not comparable to a motley crew.

Gu Bingbing slightly bent her knees in salute to Chu Mo: "Thank you, friend, for extending your help for the second time to save me. Bingbing will offer a heavy reward later. For now, please allow me to handle some matters first."

At this time, the high-ranking members of several families within Canggu City wanted to come and cozy up to her.

The Shalan Bandits had retreated, but Shalan suffered a big loss today here, even losing an arm. They voiced their anger before leaving, saying they would never let this go easily, and undoubtedly already bore a deep grudge against them. After all, this matter arose because of them. Thus, at this time, if they couldn't earn the forgiveness of Gu Bingbing, the new City Lord, then no matter how deep their roots were in Canggu City, they wouldn't be able to progress anywhere.

Unexpectedly, Gu Bingbing didn't give them any chance to cozy up at all. She directly ordered sternly: "Capture this group of traitors who colluded with bandits to destroy Canggu City! If anyone resists, kill them mercilessly!"

"Miss Gu..."

"It's a misunderstanding!"

"Don't do this..."

The cultivators in Canggu City were finally panicked, looking at Gu Bingbing in a fluster.

Over here, the monkey and the group led by Sky Patriarch didn't care about those people, they pounced towards them fiercely like wolves and tigers.

The beings on the Investiture of the Gods list had been suppressed for too long. Even though most of them didn't like fighting in the past, many hadn't fought for many years. But now, their hearts were full of rage. Therefore, after Gu Bingbing issued the order, led by the monkey and Sky Patriarch, they charged directly to attack.

Resist? Not resist?

Before the high-ranking members of each family in Canggu City could make a decision, the terrifying attack had already come crashing over.

A large number of cultivators soared from Canggu City. These people were all the elite of each family. They couldn't watch their high-ranking figures being killed just like that.

With Gu Bingbing intentionally pushing forward, a bloody battle instantly erupted!

The beings on the Investiture of the Gods list were truly formidable!

Even those cultivators in the Great Saint Realm, each fighting one by one, were enough to make people feel awe-inspired.

A monkey swung a stick and shattered the head of a Great Saint Realm cultivator, their physical body, primordial spirit, and cultivation all vanished with the blow.

Sky Patriarch's strength was extraordinarily exceptional, even among the ancestors, he was among the top echelon.

No chance was given for the opponents to surrender. In less than a cup of tea's time, these dozens of high-ranking members from each family in Canggu City, along with hundreds of elite members rushing out, were all annihilated!

Forty-eight beings on the Investiture of the Gods list, every one of them, carried a bloody aura, killing intent soaring!

Many among them were injured, some even seriously injured. Yet, not a single person frowned.

Gu Bingbing seized the opportunity to order: "Control those families for me, capture everyone, if they refuse the seal... execute them on the spot!"

Truly ruthless!

Chu Mo glanced at Gu Bingbing, then at the monkey and the beings. He somewhat understood that this girl should treat them well.

The thirty-some Great Saint Realm cultivators who had previously followed Gu Bingbing finally charged to the forefront. If they failed to perform, it wouldn't be long before they were completely replaced by the forty-eight beings on the Investiture of the Gods list.

The entire Canggu City immediately turned chaotic.

These families, who had operated in Canggu City for countless years, were not that easily subdued? Each actually possessed quite powerful force. But they were caught off guard by Gu Bingbing. No one expected this new City Lord, a young girl previously thought to lack any relevant experience, to have such strong methods and extraordinary courage.

Gu Bingbing's sudden order, in Chu Mo's view, was indeed formidable. Many thought that before she could stabilize her footing, she couldn't possibly take any drastic actions. Especially with the threat outside from the Shalan Bandits ready to retaliate at any time.

In anyone's perspective, she should first stabilize the situation, then appease the major families in the city, and use their power to fight against the Shalan Bandits. Almost no one would have thought that Gu Bingbing would have such boldness, completely unconcerned with these major families in Canggu City.

"To quell external threats, one must first secure the internal." Gu Bingbing looked at Chu Mo and smiled faintly, "I hope you won't think I'm reckless, sir."

Chu Mo smiled and shook his head, "This is Miss Gu's own matter, but I do think this is quite good. After all, it's already a mess; no matter how you try to cover it up, it's rotten inside. It's better to completely break it and rebuild."

Gu Bingbing's eyes lit up, revealing a happy smile, "By the way, I still don't know your esteemed name. You have helped me twice already. I'm filled with gratitude."

At this time, the shouts of battle thundered from below, accompanied by continuous roars of anger. The buildings of those major clans collapsed one after another, causing deafening crashes. There were also cries, roars, and cries of pain from some people.

But Gu Bingbing remained expressionless. She only cared about the result! She also believed that the group of people around her could definitely gnaw down these hard bones! They had been suppressed for so long; it was a good opportunity to let them vent.

Chu Mo looked at Gu Bingbing, smiled, and said, "I think Miss Gu might not be very willing to hear my name."

"Oh?" Gu Bingbing gave Chu Mo a surprised glance, "Could you have some ill fame in this tunnel? You don't seem like that kind of person to me."

Gu Bingbing respectfully referred to him as 'sir,' not 'young master' or 'friend,' holding a very low stance. In her view, a cultivator who could subdue a woman as strong and bold as Shalan in a single move definitely deserved the title of 'sir.' Moreover, deep in her heart, she had a thought. If possible, she wanted to recruit this person to her side.

As long as he was there, the assurance of resisting the Shalan Bandits would increase a few points. No, not just a few points... a lot!

"Perhaps it's only in Miss Gu's heart that I have an infamous name." Chu Mo laughed, "My name is Chu Mo."

"Mr. Chu... hmm? Huh? You... you said your name is what?" Gu Bingbing looked at Chu Mo in shock. She suddenly remembered, the Investiture of the Gods... forty-eight people! Of the two missing ones, one was killed, and the one who killed shattered his own divine rank, stepped into the stone gate, and should have entered the Gray Land.

Yet the person before her... said his name is Chu Mo? Could he be that Chu Mo? How is this possible?

Gu Bingbing immediately recalled that when this person appeared, it seemed that the Left General, Right General, and their group were all somewhat excited. At the time, she thought they were excited at seeing reinforcements, but now it seemed it was not the case!

Could it be that after Chu Mo shattered his divine rank on the ancient battlefield and stepped into the stone gate, he did not enter the Gray Land? But also entered the tunnel?

Gu Bingbing's mind became a mess, and she even felt a bit at a loss.

She truly did not expect that things would be like this. Someone who helped her twice in a row and clearly had a favor to her was actually that "rebel" on the Investiture of the Gods.

"Sir, you really can jest..." Gu Bingbing felt her heartbeat quicken a few paces.

Chu Mo shook his head, "Miss Gu, I'm not joking. In fact, I also find this matter quite remarkable. But speaking of which, I feel that there is no grievance between Miss Gu and me. After all, when the Investiture of the Gods was released, none of the beings on the ancient battlefield would have thought it was a huge scheme. I shattered that divine rank not because I knew any information."

Gu Bingbing took a deep breath to calm herself down, then said, "Yes, this matter truly can't blame you. Speaking of which, it was the tunnel side that acted unjustly first. But when you stepped into the stone gate that day, shouldn't you have been in the Gray Land?"

Chu Mo nodded, "I was in the Gray Land, but I fought my way back."

"..." Gu Bingbing looked at Chu Mo in shock. Spoken so simply! Fought his way back from the Gray Land!

Not to mention how difficult that fissure was to traverse, merely the great forces in the Gray Land guarding the fissure posed a huge challenge. Moreover, for Chu Mo, a human, to survive intact in the Gray Land was a miracle in itself.

This truly was a top-tier powerhouse!

Gu Bingbing thought to herself, then looked up at Chu Mo, "Then sir, coming to Canggu City must not be a coincidence, right?"

Chu Mo nodded openly, "Yes, the beings on the Investiture of the Gods include my friends. I originally wanted to rescue them. After all, deep in their hearts, they surely don't want their freedom restricted this way."

Gu Bingbing gave a bitter smile and nodded, "Mr. Chu is right; no one wants their freedom restricted."

"But I can sense that Miss Gu treats them fairly well," said Chu Mo.

"I treat them like esteemed guests!" Gu Bingbing said earnestly, "Mr. Chu, I can promise that today's conversation between the two of us will not be known by a third party. But can you guarantee that they won't leak your secret? I am grateful to you and won't harm you, but I can't guarantee the entire Ancient God Family will be like me."

Chu Mo looked at Gu Bingbing and said nothing, knowing she certainly had more to say.

Gu Bingbing seriously said, "Sir, do you think this is possible? You and your friends stay temporarily to help me. Of course, I won't have you help for free. Whether it's identity, status, or cultivation resources, as long as I have them, I will provide them all to you! Then, regarding your identity issue, let me think of a way, would that be alright?"
