42: Section 42

They all cast suspicious glances at Xu Lingguang.

“Young Master… is there some misunderstanding?”

“My lord, my name is Zhao Feng, not Xu Lingguang!”

Such a sudden turn of events was beyond Xu Lingguang’s expectation.

So much so that he instinctively denied it, attempting to muddle through.

However.

Chu Mo ignored him and turned his attention to a Zhao Family disciple at True Spirit Realm First Level: “You go and kill him!”

“Yes!”

This Zhao Family Martial Artist did not hesitate, immediately drawing his weapon and slashing towards Xu Lingguang.

Even though he did not know whether this person was truly Xu Lingguang.

But since True Disciple Chu had given the order, he would execute it immediately!

“Swish!”

A single slash came, carrying immense power, like a sudden storm, about to land on Xu Lingguang and behead him.

But at this moment.

“Boom!”

As a powerful gust of wind flashed by, this Zhao Family Martial Artist was sent flying backward, spitting out large mouthfuls of blood in mid-air.

He didn't stop until he crashed into a pillar in the main hall, then fell to the ground.

At this point.

Xu Lingguang, who had just made him vomit blood, no longer disguised himself.

He looked at Chu Mo, a ferocious expression on his face: “I didn’t expect my Concealment Art to be seen through by you.”

“Although I don’t know what method you used, since you know my identity, you will be the first to die!”

As his voice fell.

He roared and charged towards Chu Mo.

Midway, his strength at Tongxuan Realm Fifth Level was unleashed without reservation, and in an instant, a terrifying power surged, erupting like a volcano.

“Quick!”

“Protect True Disciple Chu!”

Zhao Chuan’s expression changed drastically upon seeing this.

“Do you really think a bunch of weaklings like you can block my path?”

“Die!”

Lord Lingguang laughed aloud, his body flashing, and he appeared before Chu Mo, then extended both palms, their surfaces shimmering with light, like Mount Tai, striking down directly.

He seemed to already see Chu Mo’s head being crushed into dust by his palm.

A ferocious expression also appeared on his face.

However.

“Nonsense!”

As Chu Mo’s understated words fell.

Clang!

The sound of a sword being drawn from its sheath suddenly rang out, and then a brilliant golden Sword Qi roared forth, accompanied by an incomparably sharp Sword Intent raging.

The sword light burst out in an instant, with an unstoppable power, striking Xu Lingguang.

Pfft!

“What?!”

Xu Lingguang revealed a look of horror, his body directly struck by this Sword Qi, immediately flying backward, scattering countless amounts of blood in mid-air, his internal organs torn apart by the Sword Qi.

By the time he landed on the ground, he was breathing more out than in.

“Capture him, don’t let him die!”

“This person possesses some kind of Concealment Secret Art. No matter what method you use, you must interrogate it out of him!”

Chu Mo said calmly, his expression as serene as ever.

“Yes, Young Master.”

Behind him.

Elder Shaoguang stepped forward, extending a palm, and lifted Xu Lingguang as if he were a small chicken.

Chapter 37: The Divine Concealment Secret Tome, nothing more than that!

At this moment.

The entire hall was silent.

The many Elders and disciples of the Zhao Family stared at the scene before them in shock, hardly daring to believe their eyes.

Lord Lingguang, who had killed their Zhao Family Old Ancestor and caused the entire Family to live in fear… was he just captured like this?

Although since Chu Mo’s arrival.

They no longer worried about Lord Lingguang’s threat.

But in their view, the one who truly acted should have been the old man behind Chu Mo.

But now…

“Is this the strength of a Holy Land True Disciple?!”

All the Zhao Family Martial Artists looked at Chu Mo’s indescribably young appearance, and recalling the brilliant sword strike from earlier, this thought simultaneously emerged in their minds.

Their faces also showed expressions of shock and awe.

Although Chu Mo’s sword strike was but a fleeting glimpse, it made the Zhao Family Martial Artists fully understand the gap between them and a Holy Land True Disciple.

Shaoguang took Xu Lingguang away for interrogation.

At this moment.

Zhao Chuan also recovered, came before Chu Mo, and bowed, saying: “Thank you, True Disciple Chu, for capturing Lord Lingguang. If you were not here tonight, the consequences would have been unimaginable!”

As he spoke.

A lingering fear appeared on his face.

“Family Head Zhao is too polite, it’s just my duty.”

Chu Mo smiled.

He then turned to look at Zhao Chan, who was standing beside him, and asked gently with concern: “You weren’t frightened, were you?”

“I wasn’t frightened, I just didn’t expect this person to sneak into the mansion so silently.”

Zhao Chan shook her head and said.

If Chu Mo hadn’t been here tonight, their Zhao Family’s future might have truly been uncertain.

Thinking of this.

She couldn’t help but recall the sword strike Chu Mo had delivered.

Extremely fast, subtly perfect, with a sharp Sword Intent fully revealed, and a chilling killing power. A Tongxuan Realm expert was instantly killed without even the power to resist.

Such strength was simply astounding.

“With Young Master’s talent, being able to become his maidservant should also be a blessing.”

Zhao Chan thought silently.

…

Due to Xu Lingguang’s appearance, the banquet was interrupted halfway through.

But he was quickly captured, and with the Zhao Family’s hidden troubles completely resolved, the atmosphere became even more enthusiastic.

Many Zhao Family members came to toast Chu Mo, their words full of flattery and compliments.

Chu Mo also accepted all toasts, drinking them all down.

As for Zhao Chan, she sat beside Chu Mo, helping him serve dishes and pour wine, looking like a devoted little maidservant.

It is worth mentioning.

Initially, there was some distance between Zhao Chan and Chu Mo, but as time passed and the atmosphere became more enthusiastic, Zhao Chan moved closer and closer to Chu Mo, until finally, her entire self was directly embraced by Chu Mo.

This scene.

Seeing this, the Zhao Family members, including Zhao Chuan, were even more delighted.

The more Zhao Chan was favored by Chu Mo, the more stable their Zhao Family’s status would be in the future. Wasn’t this a good thing?
