Heaven Slaying Blade

Indeed, it's time to have a child. Years have passed in the blink of an eye. In cultivation, time is irrelevant. Although these people look unchanged, their increasingly strong powers make them appear even younger and more beautiful than before.

However, their hearts have become increasingly mature and steady.

Yiyi said, "Also, a few days ago... we had a premonition."

"Premonition?" Chu Mo looked at the two women. "What kind of premonition?"

Yiyi softly replied, "We felt as if Father seems to be in trouble."

"Spiritual Master Lingtong?" Chu Mo was slightly taken aback, then shook his head and said, "Impossible. How could he possibly be in trouble?"

Originally, Spiritual Master Lingtong's strength was among the top tier of the supreme ancestral realm in the entire tunnel. He might not be a match for Wuji or the Immeasurable Buddha, but in the entire tunnel world, almost no supreme ancestors could contend with him!

Moreover, Spiritual Master Lingtong has extraordinary wisdom and possesses all sorts of methods. For such a being, it's not easy to encounter trouble.

"We all had a dream," Yiyi said softly with a hint of subtle sadness in her tone.

Speaking of it, both she and Xiaoyu have quite complex feelings towards Spiritual Master Lingtong. They don't have extremely deep affection, especially since Spiritual Master Lingtong had schemed against Chu Mo many times. Although they didn't say it out loud, they had some resentment towards Spiritual Master Lingtong in their hearts.

But no matter what, he is ultimately their father.

Even though it was from a past life, he is still their father. So, they couldn't say they didn't care about him at all.

"Dream?" Chu Mo looked at Yiyi and Xiaoyu with some amusement.

Both women have deep realms now, having already reached the pinnacle of the ancestral realm. Although reaching the supreme is still far off, their realm is definitely top-tier in today's tunnel world.

Dreams may be inexplicable and uncontrollable for ordinary people, but for cultivators, dreams are basically controllable. Almost all advanced cultivators never dream.

At the ancestral realm level, they're even less likely to be disturbed by such ethereal things.

Currently, Yiyi was saying that she and Xiaoyu both had the same dream, which Chu Mo found quite amusing.

"It's true, don't laugh," Yiyi glanced at Chu Mo. "Xiaoyu and I both dreamed that he was fighting with two extremely powerful people. That place... is very strange, like a particularly unfamiliar space. The space was vast, and in the dream, we felt like... it was outside the tunnel!"

Chu Mo's expression gradually became serious, and he frowned slightly, saying nothing, gesturing for Yiyi to continue.

Yiyi looked at Chu Mo, "The two people were both attacking him, seemingly asking him something, but he... he didn't cooperate at all and even had a mocking, cold smile on his face."

Xiaoyu softly added, "Even his smile was so clear in our dream. But whatever they were saying, we couldn't hear it at all. Because they were using divine communication, so there was no way to speculate what they were saying to each other."

Yiyi nodded sadly, "Then... he was torn apart, as if... as if he was completely annihilated."

"What?" Chu Mo frowned even more tightly, sensing something was off. Outside the tunnel... could it be an observer?

If it were true that Spiritual Master Lingtong encountered an observer, then... he truly stood no chance!

But the question is, how did Spiritual Master Lingtong get out?

The barrier of this world is so thick that no cultivator at the supreme realm could pass through it!

Or did Spiritual Master Lingtong already have a way to leave the tunnel world for a long time? Then why lay the groundwork for ten thousand ages?

Thinking of this, Chu Mo said in a deep voice, "Do you remember what those two looked like?"

The two women shook their heads together, and Yiyi said, "In the dream, we saw clearly what they looked like, what kind of divine abilities they used, and what clothes they wore. But upon waking, we couldn't remember a single thing."

Xiaoyu said, "In our hearts, there's only faint sadness left, combined with a feeling that he... he truly left us forever."

Chu Mo paced back and forth in the room, his eyes shining with contemplative light.

To thoroughly explain this matter, only those two supreme beings might know. However, in recent years, Chu Mo increasingly felt that when those two supreme beings helped him eliminate the supreme ancestors of the Thirteen Ancient Clans, they had significant intentions.

But what exactly those intentions were, he couldn't figure out.

Chu Mo glanced at the two women, then smiled slightly, "It's just a dream, not necessarily reality. However, I will ask the supreme and the Buddhas about what's going on."

Xiaoyu nodded, softly saying, "Even though we don't have extremely deep feelings for him, no matter what... in a past life, he was our father. We don't want anything to really happen to him. Even if he has done so many things to wrong you."

"Those things are all in the past. As for myself, I don't really hold any grudges," Chu Mo shook his head.

Then, Chu Mo departed from the two women and headed directly north to the Cold Ice Family.

Many people are keeping an eye on the Chu Clan's movements, so Chu Mo didn't conceal his whereabouts. Soon, news spread that he was heading towards the Cold Ice Family.

"Chu Mo, the great demon king... is he finally going to target the ancient clans again?"

"This time, the target is the Cold Ice Family!"

"Haha, the Cold Ice Family, now they can't escape their doom either!"

"It's long overdue to act!"

"Young Master Chu... is truly the most formidable person in the entire Tunnel World! Even if there's help, he is the cultivator I admire most. One person single-handedly overturning thirteen ancient clans... Such a feat is absolutely unprecedented and will never be repeated."

"Yes, I'm afraid no one else will ever be able to accomplish what he did."

The Tunnel World once again became lively with Chu Mo's actions.

The Cold Ice Family, on the other hand, was as if facing a great enemy!

Everyone was well aware that this day would come sooner or later. But when the day actually arrived, they were still fearful.

However, at this moment, there appeared in the Cold Ice Family, three people who should not have been there at this time.

Guo Chang, Madam Guo, and their daughter Guo Yaoyao.

All along, Guo Chang had protected his wife and daughter very well, without leaking a bit of news about Chu Mo.

But as the commotion caused by Chu Mo later on grew too big, these ancient clans started to investigate where Chu Mo had returned to the Tunnel World from.

According to the Ancient God Family's account, Chu Mo had severed his own divinity at the ancient battlefield, then entered the bluestone gate and was transmitted to the Gray Land. To return from the Gray Land, he must have come through several massive fissures.

And these fissures were always guarded by disciples of the ancient clans.

Ultimately, it was deduced by the wise ones among the top ancient clans that Chu Mo had returned through the fissure guarded by the Cold Ice Family.

But at that time, this information no longer held much significance. Because both Supreme Wuji and Immeasurable Buddha, these two supreme beings, had stood beside Chu Mo, supporting him in destroying the thirteen ancient clans. Hence, this information never got spread out.

However, to the ancient supreme ancestors of the Cold Ice Family, this matter still left them aggravated. If Guo Chang had reported this information timely, perhaps Chu Mo would have been suppressed long ago!

How could he have run rampant in the Tunnel World, overthrowing the thirteen ancient clans' rule over it?

So from their standpoint, Guo Chang had committed a true capital offense, and... one that is absolutely unforgivable!

Yet they hadn't acted against Guo Chang because they realized that since Chu Mo and Guo Chang could reach an agreement and become friends, perhaps there would be a time to use this.

These years, Guo Chang hadn't communicated with Chu Mo, precisely because his family of three had been under house arrest by the Cold Ice Family, losing their freedom.

But it was nothing more than house arrest without any suffering.

Now that Chu Mo had arrived, Guo Chang and his family were directly brought before six ancient supreme ancestors.

Guo Yaoyao had grown even more beautiful, her pair of lively eyes showing no sign of fear. Instead, she boldly sized up the six ancient supreme ancestors. In her heart, she muttered: These old fellows don't seem that extraordinary, do they? Just six dried-up old men...

Madam Guo, though tense inside, was not overly afraid. She asked for nothing but for them to spare her daughter. As for her own life or death, she had set it aside.

She was far more aware than the naive Guo Yaoyao of these ancient supreme ancestors' cold ruthlessness. In their eyes, descendants with their bloodline were nothing but pawns to be discarded at any moment.

"Guo Chang, do you know your mistake?" asked one of the Cold Ice Family's ancient supreme ancestors indifferently.

Guo Chang chuckled softly, "My ancestor, I don't know what mistake I made. For countless ages, I've been diligent, guarding the northern fissure. In that extreme cold land, I've fought over a thousand battles of varying scales. I've suffered countless injuries, slain countless enemies. I've never done anything to wrong the family, so what mistake did I make?"

An aura of righteous integrity erupted from Guo Chang.

"Hmph!" The ancient supreme ancestor of the Cold Ice Family had only wanted Guo Chang to concede and willingly plead with Chu Mo to spare the Cold Ice Family. But unexpectedly, he was so obstinate.

With a cold snort, this ancient supreme ancestor said indifferently, "Very well, you're not wrong, we are the villains then. In that case, since we are already villains, we might as well continue being one." With that, this ancient supreme ancestor beckoned to Guo Yaoyao, "Girl, come here!"

"Ancestor!" Guo Chang was immediately furious, "She is a bloodline descendant of the Cold Ice Family!"

"Hehe, so what?" the ancient supreme ancestor chuckled indifferently, "All bloodline descendants of the Cold Ice Family are our offspring. Without us, would there be you? If all were as unfilial as you, the Cold Ice Family... would have no reason to exist."

With that, he turned his gaze to Guo Yaoyao, "Girl, are you afraid of us?"
