Chapter 7: The Height of Shamelessness

It is just that I did not expect to return in this manner

Chu Mo pondered for a moment, silently nodded, and did not engage in any further debate

The Demon Lord snorted and said with a cold smile: "This is the disgusting nature of those shameless individuals. Since they are worried about the matter being exposed, why not kill the person earlier? Instead, they insist on putting on a facade of righteousness, which is truly contemptible"

Because he came to seek apprenticeship with my token, if I were to accept him, there would surely be an investigation into the relationship between him and me.

When they turn bad, those malicious ideas and insidious methods are even worse than some evil sects

"Hey, in front of General Fan, I dare not claim to be any significant figure." Elder Seven came this time specifically to kill Fan Wudi, thus he was too lazy to be perfunctory, and his tone of voice became neither warm nor cold.

A distance of ten thousand miles is a road filled with difficulties for Chu Mo

In the old man's view, Chu Mo would need at least another year to enter the realm of eternal life.

Could it be that one's own grandson cannot fly

The incident from that year was, in itself, that he saved Zhao Hongzhi, and Zhao Hongzhi owes him a tremendous favor.

They will strip me of my position as elder and expel me... and I will be utterly disgraced!

Reflecting on his previous admiration and longing for the Eternal Sky, Chu Mo truly wished to slap himself hard twice

"Hey, General Fan is truly a person of high status who tends to forget things. Take a good look, who am I?" The voice of the Seventh Elder followed.

He has hardly undergone any training, having only learned a few days of long fist techniques in the military, yet he has forcefully cultivated himself to the second layer of vital energy, on the verge of entering the realm of vital energy.

Those who look down on me and wish to harm me, remember this well, I will return

Isn't it only right to be grateful and to repay kindness?

Grandfather

Chu Mo closed his mouth, unwilling to say much to such a person

"Enough, be quiet. Whether your grandson is a genius is no longer important." Elder Zhao Hongzhi said coldly, "I am not here to debate these matters with you today"

... ...

"Who are you? In the dead of night, you have intruded into my home. What is your business here?" A hoarse and deep voice suddenly resounded.

It is now midnight, and a slender crescent moon hangs in the sky, dim and obscured by a few clouds.

You yourself say, should you die or not

Then, it will inevitably come to your head, even if you still keep your mouth shut, but do not forget, we are beings among the immortals

"At least you still have some brains!" Zhao Hongzhi's face revealed a hint of ferocity as he said, "If you can honestly and dutifully be your worldly general, then we are merely people from two different worlds, and I will not harbor any murderous intent towards you."

In prestigious sects, it is not necessarily true that all individuals are good people

What embarrassed and was unacceptable to Chu Mo the most was his previous trust in Changsheng Tian

Although he greatly disliked the Demon Lord, Chu Mo had to admit that this great villain truly possessed remarkable abilities

In comparison, the voices of mockery and satire in Changsheng Tian truly mean nothing to him

Although I indulge my grandson, I would not go so far as to insist that a mediocre person is a genius

Hahaha, you really crack me up! That grandson of yours with his meridian blockage and mediocre talent? A genius? Do you take me for a blind fool?" Elder Zhao Hongzhi couldn't help but burst into laughter.

You let your grandson enter the realm of eternal life, yet he remains the same useless person... Well, even if he is not useless!

To become a general who is always victorious on the battlefield, mere bravery and martial prowess are certainly not sufficient

However, that trust has now died

Zhao Hongzhi glared at Fan Wudi with a fierce expression: "And all of this... is solely because of you, relying on the fact that you saved my life back then, thinking you could use your favor to coerce me into repayment... resulting in this!"

At this moment, the Demon Lord also entered the Fan residence with the *Tushu* Chu Mo

Can such a child truly bear the title of genius

Fan Wudi has long been seasoned in the battlefield, having fought throughout his life. Such a person could indeed be described as a warrior.

However, what struck him as odd was that the Demon Lord's health seemed to be poor, as he frequently erupted into fits of severe coughing

I am merely stating the facts; I do not require any savior." The Demon Lord said with a cold laugh

Yet he behaved with great righteousness, as if his refusal to allow Chu Mo to worship at Changsheng Tian was entirely for the sake of Changsheng Tian's reputation

Originally, I thought I would return in glory after completing my studies

It followed all the way to the capital of the Great Xia Kingdom—Yanhuang City

At this moment, the Demon Lord did not say anything further and followed the figure of the Seventh Elder, directly entering into Yanhuang City

"What do you understand? Do you think your grandfather will believe you just because of your words?" the Demon Lord said coldly

By that time, the matter I had done back then could no longer be concealed.

The tarnished reputation of Changsheng Tian will certainly not let me go

The entire Yanhuang City is shrouded in darkness

In my heart, I silently recite: Yanhuang City, I have returned!

At this moment, Fan Wudi had calmed down, looking at the Seventh Elder, and slowly sat down in the grand master's chair. The aura accumulated over many years on the battlefield suddenly emanated, as he coldly gazed at the Seventh Elder

Chu Mo originally thought that Elder Seven would not know where his home was and would need to search for a while, but unexpectedly, Elder Seven headed straight to the Fan residence with great familiarity

Because Fan Wudi is just that simple, straightforward, and quick-tempered, he never bothers to nitpick over trivial matters

Thus, I thought of you, asking him to take the token you left for me back then and head towards the realm of eternal life. In my heart, I feel that even if Zhao Hongzhi disregards the bond we once shared, he should still consider the fact that my grandson is an extraordinary genius

From this point, Chu Mo could sense that the Demon Lord was many times more powerful than Elder Seven

Although over the years Zhao Hongzhi has often had disciples of Changsheng Tian travel the world to deliver various gifts, the old gentleman has not paid much attention to it

Because of his exceptional talent and extraordinary aptitude, I thought it would be better for him to join the sect of Eternal Life rather than be initiated into an unfamiliar school.

Do you still want to play dumb at this point

At this moment, the old man also detected the hint of sarcasm in Elder Seven's tone, and he spoke with some confusion: "Elder Seven, you are a significant figure in the realm of Eternal Life, while I am merely a martial artist in this mundane world. Over the years, I have never disclosed even a fraction of the events from back then. I do not know where I have offended you, Elder Seven. Please enlighten me."

The Demon Lord's expression was devoid of emotion

Fan Wudi coldly looked at Zhao Hongzhi and said, "Then what are you here for? To kill me?"

Chu Mo stood on the rooftop, feeling a pang of heartache, as his grandfather did not notice any of Zhao Hongzhi's unusual behavior and still regarded him as a good person

This level of cunning and strategy is truly ruthless to the extreme

Because the Seven Elders below did not sense any abnormalities at all

The old man was momentarily stunned, staring blankly at the Seventh Elder

Chu Mo has always been taken by the Demon Lord, flying in the sky, secretly vowing in his heart: One day, I too will be this powerful

As the master, so the disciple

"Why don't we simply surpass him and inform my grandfather about this situation first? Wouldn't that be better?" Chu Mo said

His complete disregard left Chu Mo feeling somewhat frustrated

The direct disciple of the Seventh Elder, that little boy of about seven or eight years old, possesses a surprisingly deep and terrifying cunning at such a young age

Elder Seven sneered and said, "Fan Wudi, I originally thought you were a person who abides by the rules, keeping the secrets of those years all this time."

It may even lead to being hunted down by people from all over the world

The Seventh Elder sneered and said, "Is there any point in pretending to be confused at a time like this? Do you dare to say that your grandson went to the Celestial Realm because of you?"

Indeed, my grandson Chu Mo is the one I sent over

Although the Demon Lord has always appeared fierce and looks quite menacing, his words are indeed not wrong

This voice is simply too familiar to him; it is none other than his grandfather, General Fan Wudi of the Great Xia

You are ... ...

In the room, the old man was somewhat stunned. He looked at the maniacally laughing Zhao Hongzhi, his face filled with confusion: "What? Although I am not a celestial being with such immense power, my eyes are certainly not blind!"

Otherwise, no matter how thick-skinned I am, I will not allow him to go to Changsheng Tian to seek a master

but secretly sent a disciple who had already entered the Yuan Pass to deal with Chu Mo

However, Chu Mo had no time for further reflection, as he saw the figure of the Seventh Elder directly merge into Yanhuang City

Fan Wudi, do you really think... you, a mere mortal, have the qualifications to threaten me

As Chu Mo stood beneath the vast sky, the moment he beheld the majestic and imposing ancient city come into view, his heart stirred with a hint of excitement

From now on, Chu Mo vows that he will never be so naive again, and he will never trust anyone so easily again

But you did something you should not have done

Yet, beneath the feet of the Demon Lord, it is effortlessly accomplished

The old gentleman is also quick-tempered and is too lazy to conceal anything

One day, I will protect my grandfather with my own strength

Some stared in astonishment at Elder Seven, exclaiming, "What did you say? My grandson? Mo'er? Have you already seen him? This... this is impossible"

Because the Demon Lord speaks the truth, if he returns this way, not only will grandfather not believe him, but he will even suspect that he never went to the Eternal Heaven at all

Hanging far behind, it completely failed to attract the attention of Elder Seven

Without giving Chu Mo a chance to express any sentiments, the Demon Lord took Chu Mo and directly flew to the house where Chu Mo's grandfather was resting

But this no longer matters

But why, in the middle of the night, did someone suddenly come to the door, speaking in a strange and eerie tone?

It is indeed not Fan Wudi who owes Zhao Hongzhi

However, to consider him a fool would be a grave mistake

That child, in Yanhuang City, had to leave this place because he had provoked the highest-ranking nobility

There are too many means that can lead you to unconsciously reveal the truth

In Fan Wudi's voice, there was a hint of hesitation, and then he suddenly exclaimed with joy: "I remember now, you are Zhao Hongzhi... Haha, so it's you, kid. Ah, I apologize, I lost my composure for a moment. Seeing an old friend brings me such joy that I forgot you are now the Seventh Elder of Changsheng Tian, a person of great importance!"

Once that matter is exposed, what face do I have left to continue staying in Changsheng Tian

On the roof, Chu Mo glanced at the Demon Lord

Chu Mo's tears nearly overflowed from his eyes

I have treated you with a certain level of courtesy, often having someone deliver high-quality medicinal herbs to you for your health maintenance

Unable to contain my anger, I exclaimed: "I never expected that this ungrateful and shameless person has been secretly watching my grandfather all along!"

At this moment, a sound of conversation emerged from the room

Thus, the Demon Lord followed Elder Qi from a distance, bringing Chu Mo along the way

From the moment Elder Seven first saw him, he harbored murderous intent towards him

But I did not expect that you would actually have your grandson bring the token I gave you to threaten me in the realm of eternal life

Chu Mo was greatly enraged and said, "Is this how you treat your savior?"

Although I do not know why he arrived at the realm of eternal life six months... or even a year in advance

Even if Zhao Hongzhi does not allow people to give gifts, the old man will not harbor any resentment towards him

It is a pity that ideals are always so beautiful, while reality is so cruel

If it weren't for my own good fortune, this time...! ... I would probably have lost my life in the vastness of the heavens!

The Demon Lord did not deceive Chu Mo; within a short span of time, the Demon Lord had already caught up with Elder Seven
