224: Rest in peace, Elder Yinmu

“Elder Yin Wood, you should know the purpose of our trip to Blue Star…”

As Shen Mo spoke, Yin Wood involuntarily moved a few steps closer to the edge of the Void Passage.

After all, he was aware of Tie Mu's purpose in entering Blue Star.

Wasn't it to become a high-ranking official of Blue Star, then find the secret of that place, and finally…

He was lost in thought, not noticing that his body was getting closer and closer to the edge of the Void Passage.

The edge of the Void Passage in the starry sky contained extremely terrifying and violent gale-force winds; ordinary individuals who entered it would surely die.

This was also why Yin Wood, despite his rage earlier, did not force his way through.

If he were to forcefully enter the Void Passage, he would suffer extremely severe injuries, and if things went poorly, he might even perish inside.

Therefore, Shen Mo's earlier statement about letting Yin Wood in to ambush him was complete nonsense.

Not to mention he didn't have the qualifications to ambush Yin Wood, even if he could, Yin Wood wouldn't be stupid enough to walk into it.

But now it was different!

Tie Mu was about to tell him a great secret about Blue Star, a secret that might involve the development and glory of their Wanmu Clan for millions of years to come.

In such a situation, he couldn't bother with that little bit of danger.

Moreover, he was just listening carefully to Tie Mu's words from outside, not rushing in, so Yin Wood got very, very close.

Because if he was too far, he might miss Tie Mu's words, and how could that be tolerated?

As his body drew closer, Shen Mo's face held a smile, his eyes glinting with icy coldness.

He lightly licked the corner of his lips, then said to Yin Wood, “Elder Yin Wood, do you know? When I arrived on Blue Star, according to the clan's plan, I successfully cleared the obstacles in the Blue Star Secret Realm.”

“Those high-ranking officials of Blue Star were utterly foolish; they didn't detect our plan at all.”

“Afterward, we successfully massacred most of Blue Star's families and cities, then headed to the Feng Family.”

He paused here and said, “Elder Yin Wood, do you know what I found there?”

His voice was exaggerated, carrying a hint of disbelief and pride.

Yin Wood was drawn in by his words and involuntarily moved a bit closer, asking, “What did you find?”

He had originally wanted Tie Mu to speak more simply, but at this point, Tie Mu had reached the most crucial part, and he couldn't interrupt him anymore.

Meanwhile, the ball of flame light in Shen Mo's hand flickered, shimmering, and again became a bit brighter white and darker black.

It was unclear how Shen Mo managed it, but after the fusion of these two powers, there was even a hint of a Tai Chi appearance.

The black lightning settled in layers, combined with the constantly overlapping bright red flames.

The color of this ball of light became stranger and more profound.

If the profound aura within it wasn't contained within this Void Passage, it would likely have spread out immediately.

In fact, Yin Wood had already started to notice something amiss.

He felt an extremely profound and terrifying power slowly emitting an aura from within.

Although this aura wasn't strong, it gave him a sense of fatal danger, as if it could explode at any moment and blow him to death.

This fatal aura surged, instantly clearing all the muddled thoughts in Yin Wood's mind.

He immediately wanted to retreat cautiously.

After all, he was a high-ranking individual of the Wanmu Clan, not someone who could be easily entrapped.

However, just as he was about to pull away, one of Shen Mo's hands reached out from the Void Passage.

“Rumble!”

Countless gale-force winds continuously coiled around it, almost instantly cutting Shen Mo's hand, leaving it riddled with wounds.

In fact, if it weren't for Pan Long's power also superimposed on it, resisting a significant amount of force, Shen Mo's arm would have been severed by now.

At this moment, his face sneered as he said to Yin Wood, “See, Elder Yin Wood, this is what I obtained on Blue Star.”

“Heart of the Great Dao!”

What?!

Yin Wood's body was about to retreat when he suddenly heard Shen Mo's words and immediately looked at his hand in disbelief.

No, or rather, he looked at the ball of light in his hand.

“Heart of the Great Dao?”

“This thing, is it the Heart of the Great Dao?!”

His heart was shaken.

And Shen Mo smiled, proudly saying to him, “That's right, it's the Heart of the Great Dao.”

“It's the crystallization of Blue Star's supreme will, an existence that allows people to comprehend the power of the Avenue.”

“If I hadn't gone to the Feng Family, I wouldn't have known they possessed such a treasure.”

“So, do you think sacrificing my Jian Mu clone was worth it?!”

As Shen Mo spoke, Yin Wood was no longer paying attention to Shen Mo's words.

His gaze was mesmerized by the ball of light in Shen Mo's hand.

“Beautiful, truly beautiful!”

“It's actually the Heart of the Great Dao!”

“Hahaha! It's the Heart of the Great Dao!”

“It's the solidified will of that supreme existence from tens of millions of years ago!”

“Hahaha, Tie Mu, you've rendered a great service! I must ensure the clan rewards you handsomely!”

Yin Wood danced with joy.

He grabbed Shen Mo's hand, and suddenly, the warm touch and blood on his hand made him freeze.

“Wait?!”

Only then did he realize that Shen Mo's arm was bleeding.

How was this possible?!

Inside the bodies of their Wanmu Clan members, there was only sap, no blood!

The other party was not Tie Mu!

The moment Yin Wood reacted, Shen Mo also grinned, then said to him, “Elder Yin Wood, have a safe journey!”

He lowered his voice, leaned close to Yin Wood, and then with a boom, the ball of power violently exploded.

In an instant, Yin Wood's body was completely enveloped by the lightning and flames.

“Ah!”

At this moment, Shen Mo's voice cried out loudly, “Shui Lan, Kuang Sha, we won't let you off!”

“You actually killed me and Elder Yin Wood!”

“I'm telling you, don't even think about monopolizing the Heart of the Great Dao!”

“I'd rather die than let you succeed!”

“All elders, avenge me and Elder Yin Wood!”

“Boom!”

Amidst the violent explosions and tremors, this Void Passage, which had been impacted several times, finally broke apart.

“Rumble!”

A violent explosion echoed through the starry sky.

At the same time, the strong reinforcements from the Wanmu Clan on the other side had also arrived, and seeing this scene, their eyes immediately split with rage.
