Chapter 1671: Followers Like Clouds
Zi Dao apologized and glanced at Huang, then said: "It's different from you, Senior Huang, please don't mind."
Huang grinned and then looked at the Mane God Patriarch with disdain.
The Mane God Patriarch almost went mad, spitting out a mouthful of blood.
Although it was of the Mane Clan, and its true form was a gigantic old mane dog, it had never really considered itself to be just a dog. On the contrary, it was extremely resentful when others mentioned its race. Since reaching the Supreme Realm, it had almost never revealed its true form again, always retaining a human appearance. Eventually, even subconsciously, it began to see itself as a human.
Now it was consecutively scorned by two people and a dog, and it suddenly felt a huge sense of humiliation.
This feeling almost drove it to madness.
Thus, an ancient voice filled with anger burst forth from its mouth.
Woof!
This bark was startling enough to shake the heavens and move the gods.
Even Huang was a little dumbfounded.
Zi Dao and Ouyang Fei were also dumbfounded.
Even Dongfang Yunluo and Dongfang Hengtai on the two flagpoles in the distance were a bit stunned.
Chu Mo's mouth twitched slightly.
The Mane God Patriarch itself, however, inexplicably felt a sense of satisfaction and said: "Yes, that's right, I am an old mane dog."
Huang immediately curled its lips, disdained to be associated with it, and turned to walk back behind Chu Mo.
Zi Dao and Ouyang Fei both shook their heads, nodded at Chu Mo, and also turned to leave.
Over there, Dongfang Yunluo and Dongfang Hengtai also turned their heads, not bothering with the Mane God, and began to play a game of chess with their mouths.
Chu Mo glanced at the old yellow dog: "Huang, let's go attack the Ancient Zhao Clan!"
Woof!
Huang's bark was full of energy, resonant and articulate, seemingly telling the Mane God Patriarch what a real dog's bark sounded like.
The Mane God Patriarch wore a miserable expression, simply closed its eyes, and shed tears of shame.
As a dignified elder of the clan, how could it end up like this? Not only mocked by people but also ridiculed by a dog! However, it saw the two heads on the flagpoles, and it felt a little comforted.
Even True Emptiness realm cultivators ended like this; it balanced its mentality significantly.
At this moment, many cultivators gathered in the distance, seeming to want to come over yet somewhat afraid to.
They were fearful of causing a misunderstanding with Chu Mo, and if that light net appeared again, they too would be stupefied.
Seeing Chu Mo emerge, the crowd immediately stirred, especially those originally belonging to the Thirteen Ancient Clans, who were uneasy, watching Chu Mo with trepidation.
Chu Mo stepped forward, glanced at the group, and showed a gentle smile: "Greetings, fellow Daoists."
This ordinary greeting was something none of the cultivators present would normally take to heart. Yet at this moment, they all felt somewhat excited. The way they looked at Chu Mo changed completely.
This powerful, incredibly brilliant individual, Young Master Chu, was actually so approachable? It was truly unbelievable! Previously, they never expected Young Master Chu to actually greet them.
"Greetings, Young Master Chu!"
"I have met Young Master Chu!"
"Greetings, Young Master Mo!"
"The unparalleled grace of Young Master Chu truly captivates us!"
"Young Master Chu is too formidable; we are utterly convinced!"
"Young Master Chu, I want to have your children!"
The group instantly looked at a stunningly beautiful woman, who blushed deeply. She must have been too excited and blurted it out. Feeling extremely shy afterwards, but seeing everyone looking over, she absentmindedly added: "Don't you all want to?"
Just then, a handsome man murmured, "Even if we want to, we would need the capability!"
Everyone froze for a moment, then burst into laughter!
The atmosphere here instantly became relaxed, and a warmth flowed through everyone's hearts.
The fame and meeting someone are indeed two different experiences. They all deeply felt this at the moment.
In the previously circulated information about Chu Mo, this unparalleled Young Master Chu from a million years ago, reincarnated to avenge the fallen royal family, exterminating the endless living beings of the Ancient Dongfang Clan through extremely bloody methods. Although the outside world could understand Chu Mo's actions,
ruthlessness, bloodiness, and cold-blooded impressions inevitably fell on Chu Mo.
These people hated the ancient clans and wanted to join the Chu Clan's camp, but naturally, there was some apprehension in their hearts.
As a result, upon seeing Chu Mo, with just a simple sentence, Chu Mo dispelled all the worries in this group of people's hearts. It must be said that this is an extraordinarily strong charisma.
Looking at the crowd, Chu Mo smiled and said: "I understand your intentions, and I am very grateful for your trust and support. However, the Chu Clan royal family is still precarious. Although this ruin seems to have become vibrant, it can collapse at any moment. Possibly, not long from now, this place will once again fall silent."
Everyone was silent at this moment, looking at Chu Mo.
Chu Mo said: "Therefore, anyone wanting to join the Chu Clan royal family, to become one of us, must seriously consider. Our future may not be so splendid. You may join now, and then immediately face the crisis of death..."
"Young Master Chu, we are not afraid!"
"Yes, we are not afraid!"
"We do not fear death! We only wish to follow Young Master Chu and overturn this Tunnel World, along with all its decay!"
"Yes, Young Master Chu, please accept us!"
Countless people began shouting loudly; they were young and passionate, with a deep sense of compassion for the world. This group of people is, in fact, the future of this world and the hope it harbors.
"Young Master Chu, our presence here already shows our determination. We have heard many different things and are capable of discernment. So, we understand all the dangers Young Master Chu has mentioned, but we are not afraid!" The beautiful woman who had just blurted out that she wanted to have children with Chu Mo looked at Chu Mo with her big eyes and bravely said.
"Yes, Young Master Chu, our realms may not be very high, but we are willing to follow you through everything, facing any calamity!"
Chu Mo looked at the crowd and finally nodded, then he suddenly made a move!
Among these people present, at least dozens of them shivered, their faces initially showing pain. However, afterward, their eyes were filled with ecstasy!
The others hadn't figured out what happened yet, and saw dozens of people standing up, kneeling in the void, directly bowing to Chu Mo.
What is this situation? Could it be that joining the Chu Clan's nobility requires one to bow to Young Master Chu?
While others were hesitating whether to kneel to Chu Mo too, one of the elderly cultivators kneeling to Chu Mo sobbed and choked, saying: "Thank you, Young Master Chu, for severing... my divine power. In this life, I vow to follow the Young Master forever!"
"Thank you, Young Master, for severing my divine power!"
"Thank you, Young Master... I am willing to follow you for this lifetime..."
Here, there are at least thousands upon thousands of cultivators.
But at this moment, it was so still you could hear a pin drop!
This scene was overwhelmingly shocking!
To them, it was no less awe-inspiring than witnessing that net of light pressing down from the Nine Heavens!
Just moments ago, they had personally witnessed the divine essence being cut off from the beings on the Investiture of the Gods!
Is this real?
Could these people have been deliberately arranged by Chu Mo to boost his reputation?
One can't blame some people for having such thoughts, as this event is quite unbelievable.
Many only saw Chu Mo wave a hand, and more even saw nothing at all. Then, dozens of people rushed out, knelt there, and tearfully thanked Chu Mo.
However, the authenticity of this event was soon verified!
Because these dozens of people all came from one of the ancient clans among the thirteen ancient clans!
The clan member controlling their Edict of the Investiture of the Gods directly stepped out, raised that Edict to the high heavens for all to see!
This is real!
This is simply a miracle!
They now finally understood why the thirteen ancient clans feared Young Master Chu so much that they would even risk mobilizing dozens of Supreme Ancestors to annihilate the Chu Clan.
It turns out that Young Master Chu indeed has the power to overturn all ancient clans!
After displaying the token, the ancient clan's member then respectfully handed it over to Chu Mo and directly said, "I am willing to follow Young Master Chu and contribute to overthrowing the decayed ancient clans!"
At this point, everyone was thoroughly ignited!
Even the members of the ancient clans themselves were willing to defect, to embrace the light over darkness; they had no more doubts!
If the ancient clans have even their own members defecting in droves, do they have a future?
"Noble Clan will surely win, Ancient Clans will surely lose!" Someone couldn't help but shout loudly.
"Noble Clan will surely win! Ancient Clans will surely lose!" In an instant, everyone shouted in unison, spreading like a tidal wave in all directions.
Because of this event, Chu Mo did not immediately attack the Ancient Zhao Clan, but instead took this group of people back to the ruins of the Chu Clan's nobility.
Actually, the curse power here at the noble ruins had long since ceased to exist. The so-called curse power was merely a trace of aura leaking from the deepest and oldest array of the noble grounds.
After Chu Mo returned, he had already thoroughly perfected that ancient array.
However, now on this vast domain of the noble ruins, there's an innumerable number of arrays. These arrays overlap heavily; unless a Supreme Ancestor comes in person, none can break into that new city of the noble clan.
Chu Mo hadn't originally intended to accept so many people, but after seeing this group, he changed his mind.
To follow the will of the people is to follow Heaven's Will. He recalled what the Buddha had told him, so he brought this group back.
Qi Xiaoyu, Shui Yiyi, Sky Patriarch and the others were somewhat surprised to see Chu Mo return with such a grand entourage. They hadn't even observed the battle much, focusing solely on pursuing higher realms. Trust in Chu Mo was immense.
After Chu Mo explained everything to everyone, they were all very happy.
The happiest was the old servant, no, he should be called the old steward!
He began sorting and distributing various talents; complex tasks became effortlessly efficient in his hands.
