Heaven Slaying Blade

In the blink of an eye, several days passed.

When Chu Mo's figure appeared in the sky above the Ancient Yue Clan's land, the entire clan was almost completely silent! Even the children who were throwing tantrums seemed to sense a murderous aura and immediately stopped crying.

The might of Demon King Chu Mo had reached such a level. He didn't even need to announce his name to make babies stop crying.

The patriarch of the Ancient Yue Clan flew up to the sky with a constipated look on his face, wearing a wretched expression, trembling all the while. He came reluctantly, because he truly had no choice. If he didn't come, no one in the Ancient Yue Clan would dare face this demon king!

"Chu... Young Master Chu..." The patriarch of the Ancient Yue Clan, his cultivation also at the peak of the ancestral realm, spoke hesitantly. He had lived for over a dozen epochs, part of the generation that witnessed the downfall of the Chu royal clan a million years ago. From his seniority, he was definitely an elder of the true old generation.

But at this moment, before Chu Mo, he had none of the demeanor of a prominent figure. He even stumbled in speech, struggling for half a day over how to address him. In the end, he decided to call him Young Master Chu.

After all, the title of the unmatched Young Master Chu still held considerable influence in the hearts of his generation from back then.

Moreover, addressing him this way wasn't excessively ingratiating. If he carelessly said Lord Chu instead, the Ancient Yue Clan wouldn't be able to hold its head high in the future.

Chu Mo looked quietly at the patriarch of the Ancient Yue Clan, his face expressionless, devoid of any surplus emotion.

"I am Yue Fuyuan, the current patriarch of the Ancient Yue Clan, here to greet Young Master Chu." Yue Fuyuan looked at Chu Mo with great caution, fearing any sign of displeasure on his face.

As someone who experienced the downfall of the Chu royal clan, he knew all too well the role his family's four Supreme Ancestors played in the demise of the Chu royal clan.

"Pleading for mercy?" Chu Mo asked directly, without wasting words.

His injuries were still severe, requiring recuperation, and he needed a significant amount of cultivation resources. The ones he currently possessed, he was unwilling to use, as they were reserved for his family and friends.

"Yes." Yue Fuyuan replied with a bitter expression, "The Ancient Yue Clan did something unforgivable to the Chu royal clan back then, an act of betrayal deserving of death. I do not expect Young Master Chu to forgive, but I beg him to spare the younglings of the Ancient Yue Clan. If Young Master Chu remains unforgiving, I am willing to end my life before you. Just please..."

"Alright, alright," Chu Mo impatiently waved his hand, "Killing you all doesn't interest me. Hand over the items, and you may leave."

Yue Fuyuan looked at Chu Mo in a daze, never expecting it to resolve so easily. Is this real? Did I mishear due to my strong desire for this outcome, leading to hallucinations?

Chu Mo slightly furrowed his brow, "What? Is the Yue family planning to ask for mercy with mere words?"

"Ah, no, no! It's here, it's here!" Yue Fuyuan shivered all over, suddenly jolted awake, and hurriedly retrieved a black token from himself. He said, "This is a storage world, containing all the wealth and resources the Yue family can currently muster. Additionally, this token is the patriarch's decree of the Ancient Yue Clan, with it... it can compel the entire Yue family to unconditionally obey!"

This functionality exists?

Chu Mo looked at Yue Fuyuan with some surprise, thinking that this Yue family patriarch was indeed a person of courage.

Yue Fuyuan was helpless, for if possible, how could he willingly hand over this token symbolizing the spirit of the Ancient Yue Clan? Yet, aside from this, he couldn't think of anything else to move Young Master Chu.

With just a thought, the entire Ancient Yue Clan could be obliterated, scattered to the dust. Who would survive then?

Therefore, it was better to throw everything into this gamble than to leave a route for himself!

If Chu Mo accepted this token, it meant he was accepting the Ancient Yue Clan as his "subordinate." The Ancient Yue Clan no longer had a Supreme Ancestor to rely on and had given all the wealth and resources at their disposal to Chu Mo. Although their foundation remained, any family with a Supreme Ancestor could easily take a large bite out of the Ancient Yue Clan.

The Ancient Yue Clan would surely be angered but unable to express it!

Now, if no family outside the Thirteen Ancient Clans had the ability to swallow the Ancient Yue Clan at once, they would remain powerless to resist.

Rather than that, why not surrender the entire Ancient Yue Clan to Chu Mo!

At that time, anyone attempting to exploit the Ancient Yue Clan would be deterred with a single sentence!

"The Ancient Yue Clan has already been annexed by the Chu royal clan!"

Or perhaps say, "The Ancient Yue Clan was originally a vassal of the Chu royal clan, only straying for a million years, and now... returning to its rightful path!"

Yes, exactly, say it this way; it has more persuasive power!

Though Chu Mo didn't fully understand Yue Fuyuan's intentions, he guessed them almost entirely.

He smiled lightly and nodded, "Alright, let it be so."

Accepting the token, Chu Mo turned and left without hesitation.

Yue Fuyuan stood there, his heart stirred with complex emotions. However, when he returned to the clan and announced the news, he didn't expect the entire Ancient Yue Clan to erupt in celebration!

Even Yue Fuyuan himself found it unbelievable!

Goodness, you just lost four Supreme Ancestors!

Please, you have just fallen from a top family in the tunnel world to second-tier!

Please, that Young Master Chu is your enemy! He is the root of all this! Although I do not advocate seeking revenge, the problem is, is it really okay for you to cheer like this?

At this time, a close elder of Yue Fuyuan whispered in his ear: "Patriarch, stop agonizing, actually everyone can see clearly now, not one of the Supreme Ancestors of the Thirteen Ancient Clans can be saved. Those two entities obviously intend to massacre our Supreme Ancestors of the Thirteen Ancient Clans. Young Master Chu… is a blade in their hands. But at the same time, Young Master Chu is a direct descendant of the Chu Clan royal family! His noble status naturally attracts countless followers. Given that the Supreme Ancestors are doomed to die, wouldn't it clearly be better to become a vassal of the Chu Clan royal family than to attach to those families of the Ancient Dongfang Clan, Ancient Zhao Clan, Ancient Ji Clan, and the Ancient God Family?"

These words suddenly enlightened Yue Fuyuan, who could only sigh deeply, unable to utter a single word.

In contrast to the whole Ancient Yue Clan breathing a sigh of relief and even beginning to celebrate, the atmosphere was much more bleak in the neighboring territory of the Ancient Hong Clan.

The entire Ancient Hong Clan is now shrouded in an aura of cold death.

The Ancient Hong Clan also has four old ancestors in the Supreme realm.

But what use is that?

Among the thirteen top ancient clans in the tunnel, there are a total of fifty to sixty Supreme realm ancestors. Now they are falling one by one, facing catastrophe.

Now, even many low-status cultivators in the tunnel world can see clearly. It's obvious that there is an existence that does not want the Thirteen Ancient Clans to remain as glorious as they have been.

The thirteen ancient clans have existed for too many years, flourished for too many years; in the whole tunnel world, besides their voices, there are no other sounds.

The Investiture of the Gods was in their hands, the best territories were in their hands, the best resources were in their hands, the best talents… were also in their hands. In contrast, those families, sects, and organizations outside the Thirteen Ancient Clans seemed too poor and pitiable.

Once, the descendants of the Thirteen Ancient Clans believed their families would forever remain prosperous and splendid.

The Thirteen Ancient Clans were united, responding as one to any call.

Who would dare to challenge them?

But now, the challenger has appeared, not only possessing the courage to confront but also the infinite confidence!

The whole tunnel world, two of the greatest entities have his back.

The decline of the Thirteen Ancient Clans is only a matter of time. And in this world… it will happen very quickly.

The Chu Clan royal family rebuilding on the ruins will regain glory. Nothing can stop it!

Even ordinary people can analyze this, could the remaining ancient clans not understand?

They see everything more clearly than anyone!

Previously, it was heard that the Ancient Yue Clan delivered all its resources and wealth into the hands of Young Master Chu, and then handed over the master token to him. The Ancient Hong Clan, in turn, was in turmoil.

The Supreme Ancestors are silent, the upper echelon is hesitant, and those below… are in unrest!

"If the Ancient Yue Clan can make such a right choice, why can't we?"

"Originally, our Ancient Hong Clan, a million years ago, was always a vassal family of the Chu Clan royal family. We've taken a million-year detour, why can't we now return to the embrace of our main family?"

"If wrong things are done, one must take responsibility. Are you, the old ancestors, willing to watch us descendants die?"

"Don't think Chu Mo, the demon lord, is some great kind person. The souls of those dead from the Ancient Dongfang Clan are crying. If you really anger him, he will destroy cities!"

"If the Ancient Yue Clan can return, so can we!"

Every city in the suppressed Ancient Hong Clan, regardless of size, is filled with such voices.

At the same time, many of the family descendants are leaving the clan at this time, fleeing far away.

Even if it means completely severing ties with the family, they do not mind. Anyway, if this continues, the family will perish eventually. It's better to keep a life and live well.

Finally, under this immense pressure, the four Supreme Ancestors of the Ancient Hong Clan came forward directly.

They publicly called out to Chu Mo: "We die, spare our family!"

Chu Mo did not originally intend to go to the Ancient Hong Clan immediately, however, the Ancient Hong Clan actually called out to him.

The resounding tone of the Great Dao, as long as one is not deaf, can be heard.

So, Chu Mo came.
