Heaven Slaying Blade

Chapter 1672: The Fear of the Ancient Clans



This New City, rebuilt upon the ruins, finally flourished with a vibrant atmosphere for the first time in a million years as this group of people moved in.

Previously, there were only about a hundred living beings here, most of whom were in seclusion for cultivation. So, it wasn't lively at all.

The old butler had lived for too many years, and in terms of cultivation, he had no room for further advancement. To have lived until today was purely a matter of sustaining his breath. He wanted to see the young master again; he wanted to see the Chu Clan's royal lineage rise again on these ruins.

This was the last attachment in his heart.

Therefore, his enthusiasm was higher than anyone else's!

The ruins of the royal family here were increasingly becoming better, but outside, apart from the Dongfang Family, the other twelve ancient clans were engulfed in great terror.

Especially the two ancient clans closest to here.

The Zhao Clan and the Cao Family.

They were extremely uneasy.

The story of Chu Mo's light net that annihilated trillions of beings in the Gray Land had spread widely. Those disciples of ancient clans whose cultivation was not so profound were filled with endless fear. They felt that such misfortune could descend upon their heads at any moment.

The reason the Supreme Ancestors couldn't act has so far only been decrypted to the level of the elders. Those below did not know, so, amidst endless dread, they still harbored a bit of hope deep in their hearts.

They thought that no matter what, the ancient Supreme Ancestors couldn't just watch their family fall, watch the grand structure collapse.

But in the hearts of those above the level of elders, they were in a constant state of fear!

They knew better than anyone that those ancient Supreme Ancestors dared not act at all! And Chu Mo now, under the Supreme, almost had no rivals left. His combat power was so immense it was despairing!

Moreover, he possessed countless means, far beyond simply being powerful in combat.

"His knowledge is so profound; how did we provoke such an enemy? It's despairing even to think about it." A Cao Family elder sighed with a troubled expression.

Another Cao Family elder said, "If we don't consider Young Master Chu's terrifying composite strength, I believe even if we were back then, we would still make the same choice given the situation."

"But how is this different from stirring a hornet's nest?" the previous elder said, "Now he's returned through reincarnation, and he alone throws all our ancient clans into endless terror. This... This is truly a pitfall!"

"He's not alone," another Cao Family elder said calmly, "If he really were alone, with no one to help, he probably would have been smashed to dust by now. The ancient Supreme Ancestors might not even have left him the chance to reincarnate. They would definitely use forbidden tactics to obliterate him completely from this world!"

"That's true, but what I can't understand is, why did those two entities, who never cared about worldly affairs, suddenly help him? And so decisively and completely?"

"What I'm wondering now is whether those two entities only restricted the ancient Supreme Ancestors of the thirteen ancient clans or if they restricted all the Supreme Ancestors throughout the Tunnel?"

"You mean...?"

"I want to try!"

Almost similar conversations were happening among the twelve ancient clans.

Those elder-level figures who knew some inside information were almost all discussing this matter. They suspected that those two entities might have only restricted the ancient Supreme Ancestors of the thirteen ancient clans but did not restrict all the Supreme Ancestors.

Unfortunately, Gu Bingbing disguised the two battles at the Shalan Bandits' place too well!

No information has been leaked.

Now, the Elite Alliance grows and thrives daily at a speed visible to the naked eye, and Spiritual Master Lingtong certainly won't be full enough to betray Chu Mo.

The only ones who could betray Chu Mo are the leaders of the Shalan Bandits from both generations, whose primordial spirits have long fled. But it's likely they're all hiding now, in seclusion to recover, not daring to show themselves at all.

Because the Shalan Bandits had too many enemies over countless years, now that they've fallen, the number of people who want to kill them may not be much less than those who want to kill Chu Mo. So, they are too busy taking care of their own hides to possibly show themselves.

However, despite the fact that the elders of the twelve ancient clans do not know this, they still want to try their best.

They want to invite a few Supreme Ancestors outside the twelve ancient clans to probe a little.

However, almost no one wishes to be involved in such matters.

Now anyone can sense Young Master Chu's determination; it's aimed at the thirteen ancient clans! He will not rest until he has wiped out all thirteen ancient clans.

The crucial problem is that two Supreme Ancestors have already fallen at his hands. Now trillions of Gray Land beings want to attack the ruins of the Chu Clan's royal family, but they have been caught by Chu Mo in one fell swoop—completely wiped out!

This ability to decapitate a Supreme head-on and annihilate endless beings en masse is simply too terrifying. In the entire Tunnel world, there are truly not many with the proactive will to oppose Chu Mo.

Even if some self-aggrandizing cultivators have the ambition in their hearts to challenge Chu Mo to make a name for themselves, when it comes to acting on it, everyone would hesitate!

But this is not merely a contest within the same family, nor mere sparring. The unparalleled Young Master Chu has returned reincarnated with an overwhelming killing intent; anyone who stands in his way at this time will likely end up in one outcome—being crushed!

Among the ancient clans closest to the Chu Clan royal family, the Ancient Cao Clan was the most terrified. Because their power was relatively much weaker than the Ancient Zhao Clan. Therefore, they spent a large amount of money to hire powerful cultivators from outside.

Wealth moves the heart; under their condition of sparing no expense, indeed, many cultivators were tempted and came to them.

As for the Zhao Clan, although there were some concerns, overall, the emotions of the disciples in the Ancient Zhao Clan remained relatively stable.

Because in today's Ancient Zhao Clan, apart from the four Supreme Ancestors, there was also an invincible overlord just below the Supreme realm!

This person was called Zhao Di!

Emperor as in Di!

He was not originally called this name; he changed it himself when he stepped into the ancestral realm.

He felt that if it weren't for the secret interference from several ancient ancestors in the clan, not wanting the Ancient Zhao Clan to produce another Supreme to compete for resources, he would have already stepped into that realm!

So, he changed his name to Zhao Di, also to express his intentions.

But before the storm that swept the thirteen ancient clans arrived, Zhao Di's situation was not very good.

Within the family, under the four ancient ancestors, his status was naturally high. But Zhao Di didn't care about that; the only thing he wanted was to break through to the Supreme realm, truly reaching the level of "even in reincarnation, remain lucid".

To reach this level, the ancestral realm is far from enough. Just like Chu Mo, once such an astonishing figure, carefully arranging for reincarnation. Yet, he still remained in a muddled state through reincarnations for countless ages. Otherwise, how could he have reincarnated several epochs ago but only truly emerged in recent times?

Only at the Supreme level can one truly escape all of this!

However, Zhao Di did not dare to break through at all. He even tried to distance himself from the Ancient Zhao Clan, seeking a truly desolate place to endure his tribulations. But in the end, for various reasons, he never succeeded.

In the end, he finally understood why all this was happening. He couldn't help feeling somewhat disheartened and withdrew from the world.

The turning point was the terrifying storm that swept through the thirteen ancient clans.

The peerless Young Master Chu returned from reincarnation to avenge past grievances. He intended to destroy the thirteen ancient clans!

The Supreme Wuji guarding the east and the Immeasurable Buddha guarding the west, two beings of extraordinarily high status, for some reason, both fully supported Young Master Chu.

This support was almost indistinguishable from directly assisting with action.

The Supreme Ancestors of the thirteen ancient clans, when facing Chu Mo, could not exert their full strength at all. It would be significant if they could exert even a fifth of their power!

Zhao Di initially watched this matter coldly; his heart did not even waver!

Simply put, Chu Mo was targeting those Supreme Ancestors. Exterminating other clan disciples was merely a secondary act. From the disciples of the Ancient Dongfang Clan, it was evident that if one was clever enough, there was still a chance to escape.

Zhao Di had already made up his mind at that time: the moment Chu Mo stepped into the Zhao Clan's territory, he would leave!

He did not want to confront this peerless genius monster!

Defeating Chu Mo to become the number one master of the Tunnel... such talk could only deceive those young, hot-headed fools. Zhao Di couldn't care less.

But unexpectedly, his intention was detected in advance.

The four ancient ancestors of the Ancient Zhao Clan surrounded him from all sides, sealing off all his escape routes!

At this point, while Zhao Di cursed the four ancient ancestors for their shamelessness, he suddenly realized. The Supreme Wuji and Immeasurable Buddha only prohibited these ancestors from targeting Chu Mo, but there was no restriction on them targeting anyone else!

Needless to say four ancestors, even if there was only one... Zhao Di was not their opponent!

Subsequently, one of the ancient ancestors, a direct ancestor of Zhao Di, sent him a voice transmission. They informed him that this time, if he took action and managed to kill Chu Mo, then the four ancestors would ensure he enters the Supreme realm!

Both carrot and stick!

Zhao Di understood very well in his heart that whether he agreed or not, he had to agree!

He had no choice!

He was incredibly angry inside but helpless. So, Zhao Di straightforwardly agreed. Then, he openly announced.

"Young Master Chu, do you dare to fight me?"

Zhao Di's words, passed through the Ancient Zhao Clan, quickly spread out. This was equivalent to giving the Ancient Cao Clan a tremendous favor, helping them significantly! Naturally, the Ancient Cao Clan was immensely grateful and sent a large amount of top-notch cultivation resources to the Ancient Zhao Clan in appreciation.

Chu Mo's response soon arrived: "Zhao Family disciples, if you don't want to die, get out of this territory. Zhao Di, come to your death!"
