First Immortal of Destiny

Chapter 287: Game

"Young man! Don't go too far."

"So what if you win this battle? Don't you know that the greatest reliance of my Tian family is the Lord of the Immortal Affairs Hall?"

"Today you are so arrogant, but tomorrow you will be in a sorry state!"

At this point, Tian Hong still refused to back down.

He and several other Tian family Qi-gathering stage cultivators were unable to move under the pressure of the Kaijiang Sword Qi.

Seeing this, the other Tian family cultivators immediately closed the doors and activated defensive formations, hiding in the mansion and not daring to come out.

Shen Mo understood the meaning behind Tian Hong's words.

The Lord of the Immortal Affairs Hall, Tian Zhaoquan, not only held a high position of power, but also had a profound cultivation level.

If he were to be too harsh on the Tian family now...

In the future, Tian Zhaoquan would retaliate, whether by suppressing others with his power or directly using force. Shen Mo would not have an easy time!

At this point...

The head of the Tian family still had a nonchalant expression.

He even used Tian Zhaoquan to threaten Shen Mo, which inevitably ignited a spark of anger in Shen Mo's heart.

A flash of sharpness passed through his eyes, and he coldly said, "Do you really want to force me to exterminate your entire Tian family?"

Tian Hong sneered at first.

But when he saw the deep killing intent in Shen Mo's eyes, he couldn't help but shiver.

He suddenly remembered that Shen Mo dared to come and collect debts without any scruples, relying not on excuses like the Tian family owing the Garrison Office, but on the fact that the mutated demon had entered the city!

Tian Hong did indeed tamper with the Observing Bone Treasure Mirror and arranged for a Qi-gathering stage cultivator to communicate with the demon-tainted cultivator.

At this moment, the cultivator responsible for contacting the demon was lying next to him.

"The accusation of condoning the entry of the mutated demon into the city is absolutely unfounded, let alone leading to the extermination of my Tian family!"

"Not good!"

"This brat wants to frame my Tian family for colluding with the demon..."

Thinking of this, a hint of fear appeared in Tian Hong's eyes.

His previous actions of "colluding with the demon" were not entirely baseless.

Although his original intention was indeed to let the demon wreak havoc in the city, so that Shen Mo would bear heavy guilt.

But he had also been keeping an eye on that demon.

If it really reached an uncontrollable situation, he would personally take action and kill it with the Flowing Shadow Sword.

If the situation worsened, he would also contact the Linghai stage cultivators from the Golden Toad Tower and the Doujin Sect to come and exterminate the demon!

He would never allow the demon to advance to the mid or late stage of the third rank...

Or even devour all the living beings in the city and advance to the fourth rank demon!

In the end, the ancestral land of his Tian family, the Immortal Clan, was still in Hongye City. If they really colluded with the demon and sacrificed the entire city, the Tian family would not be able to escape.

Unless, like those people who colluded during the demonic calamity decades ago.

They had signed a secret agreement with the demon early on!

"I just wanted to use the demon to frame this kid."

"I didn't expect that I would end up lifting a rock only to smash my own foot."

"If we really have to fight to the death..."

"This kid is definitely capable of exterminating my entire Tian family!"

The more Tian Hong thought about it, the more frightened he became!

He naturally knew that although he had let someone bring the demon into the city, he had not colluded with it.

But this matter was indeed not something that could be seen in the light. Once someone used it as an excuse and said that he colluded with the demon, then he colluded with the demon.

As for evidence...

If Shen Mo were to ruthlessly kill him and all the Tian family members, and search their souls one by one...

Naturally, there would be "ironclad evidence"!

By then, the ancestral elder of his Tian family, let alone seeking revenge for the Tian family...

Even his position as the Lord of the Immortal Affairs Hall would not be guaranteed!

Tian Zhiyu was the same.

Even the identity of a core disciple of the Linjiang Sect would not be guaranteed, let alone competing for a high position in the sect in the future.

It had to be said that Tian Hong was indeed quick-witted when it came to dark and cunning schemes!

What he thought of was indeed one of Shen Mo's alternative plans.

Shen Mo used all his strength, even the strength he used when he was a baby, to fight a bitter battle with the Linghai Realm.

Just as victory was within reach, Tian Hong, this old man, refused to admit defeat and still wanted to find a way to make him uncomfortable.

Since that's the case, Shen Mo doesn't mind going all out and "breaking the net"!

He will take action and kill Tian Qi Sheng, Tian Hong, and other Tian family cultivators, and search for dirty evidence from Tian Hong's soul that proves his collusion with the Heavenly Demon.

If he really does this, the Tian family's network will definitely be torn apart.

And he, the big fish, may not die, but he will certainly be in trouble.

At present, Shen Mo did not immediately do this, and there are several considerations.

First.

He is certain that Tian Hong is involved in the Heavenly Demon's entry into the city.

But he is not very confident that he can successfully find solid evidence of the "Tian family colluding with the Heavenly Demon" from his soul.

If things don't go well, he might end up implicating himself.

He will have no place to stand in the entire Chi Yan Kingdom, and the risk is extremely high.

Second.

He has his own bottom line and standards for his actions.

Tian Hong deserves to die!

The cultivators responsible for the Tian family at this time are not worth pitying.

But there are also many innocent people who will be implicated and lose their lives because of this.

Taking the tragic events of Chen Mengze and her father as a lesson, unless absolutely necessary, Shen Mo will not be so ruthless.

Third.

The Lord of the Immortal Affairs Hall, Tian Zhaoquan, is ultimately a huge threat!

Even if everything goes smoothly and the Tian family's collusion with the Heavenly Demon is proven...

As a strong person in the Linghai Realm Seventh Heaven, he may not be implicated and killed, and there is a greater possibility of making contributions while bearing guilt.

Having a blood feud with such a person.

As long as he is still alive, it is a sharp blade hanging over his head.

Fourth.

Taking all factors into consideration, the risks of this matter outweigh the benefits!

Moreover, it contradicts the principles he has always adhered to for his survival.

Restoring the prestige of the Garrison Hall is ultimately just a task of the sect.

If the Tian family of the Immortal Clan did not force him so severely.

Even if they wanted to ruin his cultivation and harm his life, Shen Mo wouldn't mind maintaining the status quo.

His goal is ultimately to become an immortal!

Everything else is just trivial matters, not worth risking his own life and future for.

...

Of course, Shen Mo would not reveal these thoughts to Tian Hong.

Otherwise, wouldn't all his previous efforts be in vain?

"It seems... you have figured it out!"

Seeing Tian Hong's lifeless face, Shen Mo knew that he understood his trump card and threat.

"Shen... Chief Shen! It shouldn't... have to come to this."

Tian Hong's voice was dry, with a touch of despair, "I will go back to the mansion and bring the spirit stones. I hope you will accept the Divine Ability."

But Shen Mo shook his head.

Tian Hong already knew his "intention".

Naturally, he also knew that as long as the Tian family still had the power to resist, his "intention" would no longer pose any threat.

If he let Tian Hong return to the Tian family mansion, disregarding the life and death of Tian Qi Sheng and the other several Qi Gathering Realm cultivators, and directly shielded the mansion with a formation...

The situation he had worked so hard to create would instantly collapse!

"Buzz!"

Shen Mo shook his sleeve, retracting the Big Dipper Sword Formation that enveloped Tian Qi Sheng.

During this period of time, he had already determined that this Linghai Realm Second Heaven cultivator had lost his strength to fight him in the short term.

"Cough cough!"

Even after taking the elixir, Tian Qi Sheng couldn't stop coughing up blood.
