Heaven Slaying Blade

Long, long ago, the descendants of the Ancient Cao Clan could no longer endure such immense fear and fled in all directions. They originally thought that after the fall of the Ancient Dongfang Clan, they would be next!

But no one expected that they would hold on until the end. Even the colossal Ancient God Family had crashed down, yet they were still there!

They didn't feel any happiness, instead, they thought it was the most frustrating thing. If they were to die, they wanted it quick. Whether with their heads raised or lowered, it was all the same death. There was no escape, yet it dragged on so long!

Even the three Supreme Ancient Patriarchs of the Ancient Cao Clan harbored immense resentment towards Chu Mo in their hearts!

Isn't this kid deliberately toying with us? Can anyone be more heartless?

But there was nothing they could do. They could only listen to the endless stream of news arriving.

The later the news came, the more desperate they felt. Supreme Wuji and Immeasurable Buddha really made their move. They weren't just protecting Young Master Chu; they were entirely on his side!

This tragic reality filled the entire Ancient Cao Clan with a melancholy atmosphere.

Geographically, the Ancient Cao Clan was closest to the Chu Royal Clan. In terms of hatred, even though they only had three Supreme Ancient Patriarchs, in the past, they were the vanguard against the Chu Royal Clan. Moreover, after the fall of the Chu Royal Clan, the advantages they reaped far exceeded those of the Ancient Dongfang Clan.

In addition, some ancestral realm figures within the Ancient Cao Clan had, over the millennia, slaughtered countless bloodline descendants of the Chu Royal Clan.

They were the ones most deserving of death.

Some even speculated that leaving them till the end to deal with might be Chu Mo's way of wanting to see them collapse in fear and despair?

Meanwhile, the people of the Ancient Cao Clan wondered if, even if they chose to commit ancient ancestor suicide like the other clans and offered all their resources, would Chu Mo spare them?

Not necessarily!

They were acutely aware!

Although they didn't know Chu Mo had the old servant's notes, they knew very well what they had done back then.

So their thoughts were far more complicated than those of other ancient ancestral patriarchs.

However, the situation with the Luoshui Family and the Cold Ice Family wasn't much better than that of the Ancient Cao Clan.

They were both among the most elite clans in the Tunnel World, occupying absolute dominance.

Like the Ancient God Family, the members of the Luoshui and Cold Ice families, even if just a branch member, held a remarkably high status!

Any branch member visiting smaller to medium-sized families would have the family head personally accompany them!

But how long could such days last? Such prestige... was already a thing of the past.

It's not that those smaller families dared to look down on them now, but that the members of the Cold Ice and Luoshui families chose to keep a low profile! Each one acted as if they wanted to remain out of the spotlight.

Thinking they could act like they used to? They could only go to the Elite Alliance!

Many have already guessed that the Elite Alliance is connected to the Chu Royal Clan.

Why did the thirteen ancient clans fall one by one, yet the Elite Alliance, composed mainly of their descendants, grew stronger and larger?

Now, some even suspected that the masked leader of the alliance, Chuchu, might be a relative of Chu Mo!

Such speculation wasn't surprising.

Chu Mo's identity wasn't a great secret.

He was from the Luotian Macrocosm and had once severed his divine rank during the Investiture of the Gods. He should have entered the Gray Land for a while, then passed through its fissure into the Tunnel World.

As for Chuchu, the leader of the Elite Alliance? Her identity had been leaked from the Luoshui Family. She... was also from the Luotian Macrocosm! Only, opposed to Chu Mo's Luotian Macrocosm!

They both bore the surname Chu!

When Chuchu first entered the Tunnel World, even before the founding of the Elite Alliance, she didn't wear a mask.

Many people knew her appearance, and her likeness was spread by portraits.

Likewise, Chu Mo's white-haired image was captured in portraits widely spread.

Comparing the two portraits, everyone understood.

Because these two... looked too similar!

So, the ancient clans' foundation and power were still formidable. One could even call them exceedingly powerful.

Yet, their helplessness wasn't directed at Chu Mo, as any single ancient clan would not fear him. What they truly feared were those two transcendent existences!

So, despite the rumors of a familial connection between Chuchu and Chu Mo spreading in a certain circle, it didn't have a significant impact.

In fact, the Elite Alliance, due to this reason, expanded manyfold in a short period!

For there, they found their true safe haven!

Joining the Elite Alliance allowed the descendants of the ancient clans to maintain their last shred of dignity. At least, they wouldn't become vassalized children of the Chu Royal Clan.

As for the fact that the leader of the elite alliance is Young Master Chu… they pretended not to know!

They even comforted themselves inwardly: Chu was just a puppet pushed out by Gu Bingbing and Luo Feihong. How could they allow a woman of such humble status to control the elite alliance?

Of course, they weren't really that naive; they just didn't want to believe it.

Chu Mo's figure finally appeared at the edge of the royal ruins. This time, he had been gone for many years. Finally, he returned.

When he returned, he deliberately passed through the territory of the Ancient Cao Clan. He even sensed the aura of three Supreme Ancestors of the Ancient Cao Clan, but he didn't touch them.

He still had a pile of Supreme Ancestor heads on him. Better to hang these heads on the flagpole first.

The long-lonely Dongfang Yunluo, Dongfang Hengtai, and the four Ancient Ancestors of the Ancient Zhao Clan, along with Xu Tianxiao and the Mane God Patriarch, finally saw Chu Mo's figure. They knew nothing about what had happened outside.

It can be said that the entire tunnel, no matter what some emperors or Supreme Realm cultivators knew, was still incredibly big news for them.

They had been hoping day and night and finally waited for Chu Mo; they were all very happy.

Ahem, let's just say they were happy. Anyway, the appearance of Chu Mo meant more new companions for them here.

Dongfang Yunluo couldn't help but tease Chu Mo: "Young Master Chu, what companions have you brought us this time? You don't know, among this group of lousy chess players, I no longer want to play chess with them!"

When it comes to chess skills, Dongfang Yunluo was the most skillful, so over these years, out of sheer boredom, he had beaten everyone thoroughly. In the end, even the Mane God Patriarch, previously a little worm from Gray Land who didn't want any dealings, was dragged by him to play chess.

But in the end, no one was willing to play chess with him anymore. Because being constantly defeated, who is full enough to seek abuse every day?

Dongfang Hengtai said from the side: "This time, you've been gone so long, you must have brought back many fresh companions, quick, quick, let us see who they are?"

"…" Chu Mo glanced wordlessly at these two Supreme Ancestors of the Ancient Dongfang Clan, pouted, didn't speak, and directly started refining the flagpole.

The flagpoles for hanging these Supreme Ancestor heads couldn't be made with just any random material. And with so many this time, there couldn't be any discrepancies in treatment. One couldn't have better material for his flagpole, while another's was worse, right?

Chu Mo was very considerate about these things.

At first, Dongfang Yunluo and Dongfang Hengtai were all finding amusement in hardship, smiling as they watched Chu Mo refine the flagpole, occasionally chiming in.

"Wow, four poles, not bad! So many!"

"Huh? There's more? Such a glorious record, truly a Supreme Ancestor killer!"

"Damn, there's more…"

In the end, the two of them stopped talking, their faces becoming incredibly solemn.

In their hearts, an ominous premonition arose, thinking, this bastard, did he wipe out all the Supreme Ancestors of the thirteen ancient clans?

How could there be so many?

Looking at each erected flagpole, Dongfang Yunluo, Dongfang Hengtai, and the others were all dumbfounded.

Because the flagpoles Chu Mo erected had already exceeded twenty!

Everyone shut their mouths.

In the end, they watched as Chu Mo began hanging head after head.

"Isn't this... isn't this the Stellar Taoist Lord? How did even he come to join the fun?" Dongfang Yunluo remarked, surprised, at the first head Chu Mo hung up.

Over there, the Stellar Taoist Lord looked speechless and angry, looking at Dongfang Yunluo, thinking, who the hell wanted to join in the fun? Also, look at your current situation, only left with primordial spirit fluctuations of the ancestral realm, yet still so calm?

Next, Chu Mo hung up the heads of the Mystic Venerate Ancestor and the Ancient Patriarch Bailing.

Now, Dongfang Yunluo, Dongfang Hengtai, and others understood that these three unlucky fellows must have been set up by that guy Xu Tianxiao!

Following closely was the head of Gongsun Cai.

Indeed, as the heads of these four Supreme Ancestors outside the thirteen ancient clans were hung on the flagpole, all four sets of eyes fell on Xu Tianxiao, who had smashed his head in, with Ancient Patriarch Bailing being the first to curse.

"Xu Tianxiao, you bastard, you screwed us over! This karma is settled. Even if I die, my soul lost, and roaming forever, I will never forgive you!" Bailing cursed angrily, then looked at Chu Mo: "And I won't forgive you either!"

The Stellar Taoist Lord and Gongsun Cai, along with the Mystic Venerate Ancestor, also looked at Xu Tianxiao with eyes full of intense hatred, far more than at Chu Mo.

Chu Mo remained expressionless, continuing to hang the heads.

The moment the six Supreme Ancestor heads of the Ancient God Family were hung up, Dongfang Yunluo and others fell completely silent.

They never would have dreamed that Chu Mo would be so fierce and terrifying... even the six Supreme Ancestors of the Ancient God Family were doomed!

The six Supreme Ancestors of the Ancient God Family all closed their eyes in silence.

At this point, there was nothing left to say.
