First Immortal of Destiny

Chapter 56: Intrusion

"The sect master wants us to temporarily leave Tianyou City?"

Inside the hall, Gu Ming brought the Qinglong Hall Master Zhou Chen and the Fuhu Hall Master Wei Yuan of the Blood Robe Sect.

When they heard the news of needing to lay low from Gu Ming, they were quite shocked.

"What happened?"

"With the current strength of our Blood Robe Sect, do we still need to hide?"

Zhou Chen, the hall master, was puzzled and asked.

"It's because the Shen family has invited a cultivator to help them."

"Lord Xue has been killed, and Gu Chao has been captured and imprisoned in the Shen family mansion."

Gu Ming's face was solemn as he spoke word by word.

What? A cultivator?

Zhou Chen and Wei Yuan exchanged glances, deeply shocked.

They also knew the weight of these four words.

However, they still had doubts.

"It has been many years since a cultivator has appeared in Tianyou City."

"How could the Shen family, just a martial arts family, have a distant relative who is a cultivator? In my opinion, this might not be true. Perhaps the Shen family is afraid of the power of our Blood Robe Sect and deliberately spread false information."

Wei Yuan pondered for a moment before speaking.

He was an old member of the Blood Robe Sect and had waited five years to rebuild the sect.

Seeing the resurgence of the former sect's power, he wanted to reclaim the blood debt from their old enemies.

At this moment, he didn't want to flee with his disciples tail between their legs.

Zhou Chen had the same thought, "Sect Master, don't panic too much. Cultivators are rare, and even if they are cultivators, not all of them are as powerful as the Divine Ability of the senior."

"Even if the Shen family's distant relative is really a cultivator, they are probably just a low-level wandering cultivator with no great achievements. Otherwise, the Shen family would have been wiped out long ago."

"How could it have waited until today?"

After listening to the opinions of the two hall masters, Gu Ming frowned.

He did find their words somewhat reasonable.

But even if there was only a one percent chance, he couldn't take the risk if the Shen family's relative was a True Immortal.

The senior had repeatedly warned him not to reveal the blood sacrifice.

If they encountered a cultivator, they needed to be cautious and avoid contact.

If he ruined the senior's plan, he would be to blame for his own death.

"Retreat."

"Zhou Chen, Wei Yuan, inform the disciples that we will temporarily withdraw from Tianyou City."

After a moment of silence, he finally made up his mind not to take any risks.

But it was already too late.

At this moment, Shen Mo had already broken in outside the main hall of the Blood Robe Sect.

"Halt!"

"This place belongs to our Blood Robe Sect. Trespassers will be killed!"

When Shen Mo arrived at the gate of the main hall, the disciples responsible for guarding the gate stopped him.

In response, Shen Mo's fist struck out.

"Boom!"

Accompanied by a burst of fist energy, the person who tried to stop him instantly exploded into a mist of blood.

Shen Mo's strength was considered low-level within the Immortal Sect like the Linjiang Sect.

But in the peripheral areas and even in the mortal world, he was quite formidable, as if he could overlook the world.

When they saw someone trespassing and killing disciples, the bell rang, summoning the disciples of the Blood Robe Sect.

The disciples responsible for guarding rushed out, intending to resist this fool who didn't know the severity of the situation and dared to intrude into the divine altar.

Each and every one of them was easily dealt with by Shen Mo's casual punch.

After about twenty disfigured corpses lay crookedly on the ground, these followers finally became terrified.

They scattered and fled, disregarding the punishment of the rules of the sect.

Shen Mo did not chase after these small fry. He followed the path along the mountain gate and headed straight for the main hall area.

"The immortal master has already entered!"

After a while, the martial artists who had hurriedly followed Shen Mo arrived late.

They saw the corpses scattered all over the ground and the panicked Blood Robe Sect followers, fearing that they would miss out, rushed towards the hall.

"Master, someone has intruded into the altar."

"That person's strength is exceptionally powerful. Yin Protector and the others tried to stop him, but they were no match for him and were directly killed on the spot."

"At this moment, he is attacking towards the hall."

A sect follower in panic reported the news to Gu Ming, who was about to discuss matters with the two hall masters.

"It's that cultivator!" Gu Ming's face changed drastically.

Before he could give orders, the main door of the hall was blasted open by someone's punch.

In the flying wood chips, a tall figure appeared in front of the hall.

Shen Mo had arrived!

"Who is the Ming King?"

Shen Mo's voice sounded cold.

A forced smile barely appeared on Gu Ming's stiff face. "It's me."

"I didn't know the immortal master was coming, and I have been remiss in welcoming you from afar."

"The immortal master came to our mountain gate for what reason?"

"I am a member of the Shen family and was originally cultivating in my sect, not concerned with worldly matters." Shen Mo looked at Gu Ming in front of him and said seriously, "But a few days ago, a clan member found me and said that our family is facing a calamity."

"The Blood Robe Sect has declared that they will slaughter all members of the Shen family. I am also a member of the Shen family, so naturally I had to come and take a look."

"It's a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding."

Gu Ming quickly spoke, "Although there is enmity between the Blood Robe Sect and the Shen family, it can still be resolved."

"Since the immortal master has come forward, our Blood Robe Sect is willing to step back."

Although Gu Ming did not feel the oppressive aura of a Qi Gathering Realm cultivator from Shen Mo, like Xuanzhi, he speculated that this person had not truly stepped onto the path of immortality.

His posture remained low, unwilling to conflict with Shen Mo.

"No, stepping back is not enough. I have to kill you and these Blood Robe Sect people."

"Otherwise, when I leave, who knows what trouble might arise again."

Shen Mo said expressionlessly to Gu Ming.

There were cultivators supporting the Blood Robe Sect behind the scenes, although Shen Mo did not know their intentions.

But he faintly felt that there was more to it.

Being present at this moment might be able to deter them for a few years, but if Gu Ming's cultivation broke through in the future, he might release his concerns and slaughter the Shen family.

To prevent any new incidents from arising, it was best to eliminate the root cause.

Therefore, Shen Mo sincerely told him.

Today, the Blood Robe Sect would be destroyed, and he would die.

"Why is the immortal master so aggressive!" The smile on Gu Ming's face gradually froze. "I have already backed down. If you still refuse to give up and really fight, the situation may not be what the immortal master wants to see."

Shen Mo was a cultivator with extremely strong power, and Gu Ming was well aware of this.

As an ordinary person, even if he had reached the pinnacle of martial arts and stepped into the legendary realm of the martial world.

Gu Ming still greatly feared the person in front of him.

But he had had more contact with Xuanzhi and knew that a cultivator who had not yet entered the Qi Gathering Realm could not be considered a true expert.

Shen Mo clearly had not truly gathered Qi, and the gap between him and an ordinary person was not to the point of despair.

Gu Ming believed that he, who had entered the realm of martial arts legends, still had the strength to fight if he fought to the death.

Moreover, he still had the treasure left by Xuanzhi!

Thinking of this, Gu Ming lightly rubbed a small flag inside his sleeve.

This item was his greatest trump card and reliance.
