Chapter 1664: The Tunnel World is in Chaos
This move is truly ruthless, and the timing is just perfect! When the entire tunnel world, under the deliberate guidance of those ancient clans' disciples, had reached a peak of resentment toward Chu Mo, even many cultivators outside the thirteen ancient clans who were unaware of the truth began to form a bad impression of Chu Mo.
Finally, Chu Chu took action!
She, too, was someone who had awakened the memories of her previous life. Over the years, she had communicated secretly with Chu Mo several times. She was very clear about everything, holding accurate information.
Every piece of information stands up to scrutiny!
She released the news that the Chu Clan was exterminated by the thirteen ancient clans united together in the past, forcing Young Master Chu to his death; then, she spread the story that the thirteen ancient clans destroyed all ancient history to cover it all up, creating a historical gap in the tunnel world; she also exposed how the thirteen ancient clans sent secret teams over countless years afterward to hunt down and kill the descendants of the Chu Clan bloodline.
This triple strike caught the thirteen ancient clans completely off guard!
Each piece of information was more explosive than the last!
Each was more terrifying than the last.
Although for endless ages, no one ever thought the thirteen ancient clans were truly righteous families, neither did anyone consider them too evil.
Though they controlled the Investiture of the Gods, it was merely a mandate from heaven...
But now, with the release of these revelations by Chu Chu, the beings in the tunnel suddenly realized that things were completely different from what they had imagined!
The Supreme ancestors of the thirteen ancient clans turned out to be so insidious, so vicious. For their own selfish interests, they not only forced the great Heavenly Genius, Young Master Chu to his death but even teamed up and wiped out the Chu Clan royalty in a single night. They then threw the blame onto a non-existent great ancestor. Not hesitating to destroy numerous classics within the tunnel and cause a historical gap, just to cover up this truth!
"It's too much! Who would've thought the Supreme ancestors among the thirteen ancient clans were such people!"
"They're too devious; I always thought at the level of the Supreme ancestors, they must have incomparably broad minds. I was really naive."
"I've always felt sorry for the beings on the Investiture of the Gods. Although they were born in the lower universe, they could all be considered peerless Heavenly Geniuses. After endless years of strenuous cultivation, they finally managed to leave their original universe and enter the higher-level tunnel, only to fall into an inescapable trap. That Young Master Chu was so great. As a member of the vested interests group, he could devise a way to sever divinity. I admire such a person! If Young Master Chu needs it, I'm willing to become his follower!"
"Young Master Chu is indeed great. Now that he's back, he surely seeks revenge and justice. And the Ancient Dongfang Clan still has the face to bluster? Collaborating despicably and shamelessly with the beings of Gray Land—they all deserve to die!"
There were supporters for Chu Chu's revelations, and naturally, there were opposing voices too. After all, the power of the thirteen ancient clans still dominated the tunnel world today. So, various rebuttal voices quickly emerged.
"This news is nothing but nonsense! It's a complete joke!"
"How could the ancient ancestors of the thirteen ancient clans commit such acts?"
"The ancestors do not concern themselves with worldly affairs, not wishing to argue, yet they didn't expect to be misunderstood by a group of people..."
"The two old ancestors of the Ancient Dongfang Clan are currently in seclusion, how could Chu Mo alone have the ability to defeat two Supreme ancestors? It's absurd that some people believe such ghost stories; a brain is a good thing, but unfortunately, many don't have one."
These opposing voices were equally strong, even managing to confuse many, leaving people perplexed unsure whom to believe.
But the water in the entire tunnel world had become completely muddied!
On the side of the thirteen ancient clans, it was now completely impossible to control all voices in the tunnel world.
The thing that angered them the most was their inability to find out who released this accurate information. In the end, they could only attribute it all to Chu Mo.
Chu Mo, of course, didn't mind. No matter how much the thirteen ancient clans hated him, he didn't care.
Yet afterward, as a copy of an ancient handwritten journal swiftly spread throughout the tunnel world, the entire tunnel world... exploded!
That journal was an incomplete version of the servant's journal.
Chu Chu copied down all the crimes of the thirteen ancient clans from it, replicating countless copies without omission, and had them secretly distributed by trusted allies.
The impact of this thing was simply too powerful!
Because everything recorded there came with names and detailed times and places!
It can be said that this journal was practically evidence. Not only did it document all the vile acts of the thirteen ancient clans against the Chu Clan, but also recorded their other crimes. Each incident was enraging.
Anyone with a conscience and a moral baseline, after reading these, couldn't remain indifferent.
For a moment, those recorded in the journal were all turned into street rats that everyone wanted to beat. Among those people, many were already gone, deceased. Others had become "well-respected" or "high-ranked" figures today.
But it was useless; even countless internal disciples within the thirteen ancient clans voiced their anger.
"Is this really what our predecessors did? Were these... really actions once taken by our family? The predecessors I always respected, the family I've always been proud of... turned out to be such a filthy family! I'm ashamed to have grown up in such a family!"
"I declare that from now on, I withdraw from the Ancient God Family..."
"I hereby declare, from today onwards, I sever all ties with the Cold Ice Family..."
"From now on, I have nothing to do with the Luoshui Family!"
"As for me..."
As this letter spread entirely, chaos erupted throughout the Tunnel. This document truly exposes the heavens themselves.
Not only does it confirm that the Chu Clan royal family was annihilated by the collective might of the Supreme Ancient Ancestors from thirteen ancient clans millions of years ago, but it also unveils countless sordid secrets among the thirteen ancient clans — all backed by evidence.
These revelations appear not to have a fatal impact on the thirteen ancient clans, and might not even deal them a serious blow. But in reality, that's not the case!
In the current chaotic world, there are numerous forces waiting to replace the thirteen ancient clans. Normally, they wouldn't dare provoke them openly, but now, amidst the chaos, they hesitate not to cause trouble for the thirteen ancient clans.
Words can be fearsome!
It is the same everywhere.
Words can sometimes seem weak; but other times, they can turn into knives delivering mortal wounds!
The leaders of the thirteen ancient clans feel as if they're being cut, slice by slice, by innumerable blades. Many of these blades appear to originate within their own ranks.
Within the Elite Alliance, some members have withdrawn from the situation, wishing to join their family in facing it. They may not understand the origin of this storm, nor do they comprehend the relationship between Alliance Leader Chu Chu and Chu Mo, but they all wish to stand by their family in the hour of its greatest need.
To these individuals, whether it's Chu Chu, Luo Feihong, or Gu Bingbing, they all demonstrated willingness for amicable separation, posing no impediments whatsoever.
The ones who left remained a minority, as more unsavory scandals involving the thirteen ancient clans surfaced, a greater number of elite descendants from these clans opted to cut ties and leave their families. Then, they joined the ranks of the Elite Alliance directly.
Because here, they find those they are most familiar with, and share a common vision — to develop the Elite Alliance into a formidable force that overshadows all ancient clans!
The world within the Tunnel has descended into chaos!
Those initially wishing to emulate the Ancient Dongfang Clan and make deals with Gray Land beings, and recruit them to attack the Chu Clan royal family, have now adopted a cautious observant stance. They dare not act impulsively anymore!
However, these individuals have tacitly slowed down the pace of their conflict with the Gray Land beings.
Despite this, many beings listed on the Investiture of the Gods have revolted, joining forces to swiftly strike, killing those wielding Edict of the Investiture of the Gods. Then, they flee towards the Chu Clan royal family.
In this process, numerous beings from the Investiture of the Gods perished. The ancient clans ruthlessly suppressed these individuals. However, this does not quell the beings' yearning and aspiration for freedom.
Many beings listed on the Investiture of the Gods appear calm, yet no one knows when they might go berserk. Even the high-ranking figures among the ancient clans are no longer optimistic, believing that as long as Chu Mo lives, these divine beings will remain uncontrollable.
Hence, Chu Mo must die!
Since the Supreme level ancestors refuse to act, maintaining silence, let those below the Supreme level step in!
Apart from the Ancient Dongfang Clan, the remaining twelve ancient clans all simultaneously dispatched numerous top experts. They headed to the Chu Clan royal family, preparing to assassinate Chu Mo at the opportune moment!
Meanwhile, in this turbulent heart of the storm, the Chu Clan royal family remained incredibly tranquil!
Not even a hint of outside influence reached them.
Qi Xiaoyu and Yiyi, both calmly engaged in cultivation. Occasionally, they would come to check on Chu Mo and spend a moment with him before returning to the city.
The old servant was similarly occupied, as there were numerous matters in the city needing his attention. This elder, having lived for millions of years, seemed revitalized with vast energy. Now, he wasn't merely an old servant; he had become the royal family's chief steward!
Even though this royal family currently consisted of just Chu Mo, Qi Xiaoyu, Yiyi, and an old yellow dog, the old servant continued to wear a contented smile. Every day felt fulfilling.
Only the old yellow dog, Huang, stayed by Chu Mo's side unconditionally.
Thus, when that group of Gray Land beings finally reached the edge of the Chu Clan royal family ruins, they found themselves momentarily stunned.
Because before them lay a vast, vibrant domain, entirely undefended!
This was akin to... a nude beauty standing before them with her eyes closed!
