First Immortal of Destiny

Chapter 249: Taking Action

"Know yourself, know your enemy, and you shall not be defeated in a hundred battles!"

"Chen Shijie, you have too little information. You don't even know what treasures the Liu and Wu families have obtained."

"Nor do you know the cultivation level of the most powerful individuals in the two sects behind them, Dashing Victory Mountain and Purple Bamboo Valley."

In fact, it's not surprising that Chen Mengze knows so little.

To her, whether the reinforcements from the Liu and Wu families are in the early or middle stage of the Spiritual Sea Realm doesn't make much difference.

Even with her own abilities, she is powerless to escape!

After discussing with Chen Mengze, Shen Mo decided to first gather relevant information before taking action.

...

A few days later.

Inside the Qingfeng Inn in Sishui City.

Shen Mo pushed open the door and his figure changed, returning to his original appearance from that of a burly man with a full face of flesh.

"How did it go?"

Chen Mengze greeted him, showing concern. "Have you found out which Spiritual Sea Realm expert Liu Dingjiang's son has joined in Dashing Victory Mountain?"

During these days, they had been living in Sishui City under the identity of wandering cultivators.

Because Shen Mo possessed the "Three Heads and Six Arms True Immortal Technique," which allowed him to change his appearance and aura, he was able to move around and visit the cultivators in the city.

The first time Shen Mo displayed this technique in front of her, Chen Mengze was quite astonished.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Shen Mo tentatively asked her... if it was necessary for her to take revenge personally.

With the help of his Law Manifestation, he could single-handedly annihilate the Liu and Wu families.

He could completely minimize the risks of this mission.

However, the result was not unexpected for Shen Mo.

Without hesitation, Chen Mengze rejected his proposal.

If the blood feud of the Chen family and her mother An Shi were to be entrusted solely to Shen Mo...

How could she eliminate the obsession in her heart?

What would be the meaning of her persistence and cultivation over the years?

Shen Mo could understand this.

After all, this was ultimately Chen Mengze's blood feud, not his.

He could assist her when she sought revenge, but he couldn't take matters into his own hands and wipe out the Liu and Wu families on her behalf.

Therefore, Shen Mo quickly dismissed this idea after mentioning it.

"The mentor of Liu Yu is Baiyuan Daoist from Dashing Victory Mountain, a second-level Spiritual Sea Realm expert!" Shen Mo casually replied.

During these days of investigation, he had successfully obtained a lot of useful information.

The backing of the Liu family in Sishui City was Dashing Victory Mountain, located a hundred miles away in the territory of Yuzhou.

Dashing Victory Mountain had two Spiritual Sea Realm experts.

One was Baiyuan Daoist.

The other was Huoque Daoist, who had reached the seventh-level Spiritual Sea Realm.

Due to injuries sustained in a battle several years ago, Huoque Daoist had been in seclusion and paid no attention to worldly affairs.

Liu Yu, the son of the Liu family patriarch Liu Dingjiang, had chosen to cultivate under Baiyuan Daoist.

Moreover, this person had exceptional talent and had already reached the peak of the Qi Gathering Realm before the age of forty.

This was information that Chen Mengze had previously been unaware of.

In addition...

The backing of the Wu family in Sishui City was Purple Bamboo Valley, not far from the city gates.

They had a Spiritual Sea Realm expert in the early stage.

Wu Dayong, the patriarch of the Wu family, had once joined Purple Bamboo Valley for cultivation.

And now, there were still many young members of the Wu family seeking immortality and enlightenment within Purple Bamboo Valley.

The relationship between these two families and Dashing Victory Mountain and Purple Bamboo Valley...

Was similar to the relationship between the Tian and Kang immortal clans and the Linjiang Sect!

"It seems that I have been too naive."

Chen Mengze couldn't help but feel regretful.

Over the past twenty years, it seems that the Liu and Wu families have become even closer to Dashing Victory Mountain and Purple Bamboo Valley.

When the Chen family was still around, their relationship was not as close as it is now!

Otherwise, she wouldn't have thought of barging into Sishui City directly and killing the Liu and Wu families.

If she had done so, at most she would have eliminated some peripheral branches.

It would have been impossible to completely wipe out these two major cultivation families!

"Well... that's exactly what I wanted to say," Shen Mo said calmly.

"The treasure in the remains of the Linghai Realm cultivator is very likely to have been offered to Dasheng Mountain and Zizhu Valley by the Liu and Wu families."

"Both sects have benefited greatly, which is why they treat the Liu and Wu families so well!"

Shen Mo didn't find out what exactly that treasure was.

However, it didn't affect his speculation.

It could simultaneously benefit Dasheng Mountain and Zizhu Valley.

Most likely, it was not a weapon for killing or defense.

It was very likely to be an auxiliary tool.

Either it had benefits for the cultivation of Linghai Realm cultivators.

Or it could greatly enhance the foundation of both sects.

In addition, in recent years, disciples from Dasheng Mountain and Zizhu Valley have been quite prominent...

This treasure might be an artifact that could condense spiritual objects for cultivation!

Shen Mo didn't have any desire for this treasure.

However, if there was a chance in the future to help the Chen family retrieve it, it wouldn't be a problem.

After pondering for a while, Shen Mo smiled and said, "The situation is clear now."

"What we need to do is find a way to lure the descendants of the Liu and Wu families who are cultivating in the sects back to Sishui City."

"At the same time, we must not alarm the powerful Linghai Realm experts of both sects!"

...

Wu Family Mansion.

Occupying one-fifth of Sishui City, with elegant buildings and exquisite details.

On this day, two unexpected guests arrived outside the mansion's main gate.

One person was wearing a dark blue robe, extremely tall and burly, with muscles all over his face and sharp eyes like a hawk.

Just by appearance, one could tell that this person was not someone to be trifled with!

Moreover, his spiritual aura was extremely strong, clearly indicating that he was a successful mid-stage Qi Gathering cultivator.

Standing beside him was a woman wearing a veil to cover her face, with a graceful and slender figure.

Her cultivation level was even higher than the burly man, surpassing him by one realm.

The burly man was naturally Shen Mo, who had used the "Three Heads and Six Arms True Immortal Technique" to change his appearance and aura.

Chen Mengze didn't have a similar transformation technique, so she covered her face.

The gatekeeper of the Wu family mansion had some cultivation and was accustomed to welcoming and sending off guests, with sharp eyesight.

As soon as he saw Shen Mo and Chen Mengze walking together, he immediately put on a smiling face and greeted them.

"Please wait, two seniors. May I ask what brings you to our Wu family? I will inform them on your behalf."

Shen Mo's face twitched.

He suddenly pushed him away and said in a rough and loud voice, "Who do you think you are, daring to stop me?"

Then, he strode past the gatekeeper and kicked open the door of the Wu family mansion.

"Wu Dayong! Wu Dayong, come out and see me!"

While barging into the mansion, Shen Mo shouted loudly.

"Who are you? How dare you trespass into the Wu family mansion?"

This grand commotion soon alarmed the Wu family members.

In a short while, dozens of Wu family cultivators rushed from all directions and blocked Shen Mo's path.

Shen Mo quickly scanned them and found that the highest cultivation among them was only at the fourth stage of Qi Gathering.

And there were only three cultivators above the Qi Gathering stage.

The rest were mostly at the Body Tempering stage, or they were peripheral members of the Wu family with mediocre aptitude.
