    Who are you?

    Chen Mo stood up, his gaze careless as he looked at the few people walking towards him. There were five of them in total, but from their auras, he could tell that they were all high-level martial arts experts at the Three-Star realm.

    The three men stood in a line, with the leading three holding weapons at the front, and the other two at the back. They didn't have any weapons, but subtly, Chen Mo could sense the presence of worms on their bodies.

    The Dabao and Xiaobao, hidden and motionless within Chen Mo, were now on high alert.

    "A corpse doesn't need to know our identities."

    The leader held a three-foot-long broadsword, the blade resting on his shoulder, his expression filled with indifference.

    With the words spoken, the sword in his hand dropped as well, and he stepped forward, unleashing a blade aura instantly.

    In a flash, a brilliant sword light shot out, like an attack that could slice through an entire cave.

    Chen Mo, without hesitation, summoned a massive sword and channelled his qi and blood from his Dan Tian realm.

    After this one-day-and-one-night of cultivation, the blood qi within him was extremely vigorous. His eyes remained blood-red from start to finish, and if he did not release it soon, he risked losing his sanity.

    At this moment, with these people attacking, it's just perfect for him to practice his hands.

    They were all blood-red sword qi following the swing of that one sword.

    Crack!

    The sword light dissipated, and the person holding the broadsword was split in half in the next moment, completely without a trace of life.

    "Such strength!"

    The remaining four people spoke in unison.

    Looking at Chen Mo's demeanor, it was clear that he only had a Four-Star cultivation level, but the might he displayed was far beyond any of the others present.

    They couldn't help but be surprised. No wonder they were sent by someone above to deal with this guy.

    Thinking of this, the remaining four became on guard.

    "Let's attack together, don't give him a chance to counterattack."

    As soon as one of them spoke, the others nodded in agreement.

    The remaining two Qiwu moved hurriedly, wielding their weapons and launching a fierce attack at Chen Mo.

    "Dare to come?"

    Chen Mo sneered and raised his hand, summoning another sword with full force towards the two men.

    "No way!"

    A mengzi opened his mouth, and two golden-colored worms landed on the bodies of the two men instantly. The next moment, both of their bodies turned completely golden.

    With Chen Mo's sword strike, he was unable to injure them even an inch. Instead, he only managed to push them back by several dozen meters.

    "This is really strong."

    "No, it's not that. Although the golden body can't hurt us, his defense is too strong to prevent pain."

    "You two don't waste your time talking. Just defending him is already a great achievement. What else do you want to do? Quickly capture him, or we won't be able to explain ourselves."

    "From now on, watch me, I'll give you the chance to capture him."

    An assassin shouted, waved his sleeve, and saw a myriad of vibrant, glowing butterflies fly out from his sleeves in the pitch-black space.

    Suddenly, countless butterflies surged towards Chen Mo like a tidal wave.

    From all directions, they encircled him.

    Chen Mo had just taken some action, but he suddenly realized that he couldn't move anymore.

    These butterflies are capable of controlling his movements.

    Just as Chen Mo was startled, he saw the two men with their golden bodies rushing towards him, lifting their weapons to capture him.

    "Master, I will help you."

    At that moment, a voice echoed from above the cave. A figure leaped down from above and slapped his palms together, pushing the two men who were trying to attack Chen Mo back once again.

    "It's you?"

    Chen Mo was surprised, and he looked up, despite the darkness, he still recognized the person, Chichen Tianqiong.

    "How did you end up here? I told you to leave."

    Chen Mo blinked, curious.

    Chichen Tianqiong turned to look at Chen Mo and smiled, "I was worried about the Master, so I didn't really leave. I've been waiting outside, and then I followed you when I saw someone coming in. And as expected, they really are here to deal with you."

    "Thank you for your kind intervention…"

    As Chen Mo spoke, Chichen Tianqiong hurriedly waved his hand. Before he could open his mouth, he saw that Chen Mo had already begun to move.

    Chichen Tianqiong's eyes widened to the extreme, while the person who had just used butterflies was even more surprised.

    "It's impossible, how can you…"

    "Do you think only you have insects?"

    Chen Mo let out a cold laugh. Da Bao and Xiao Bao had already climbed onto his arm, as if seeking praise, jumping around with arrogance.

    At that moment, the face of the person who used the butterfly bug became dark.

    "Next, let me handle this."

    Chen Mo tightly grasped his massive sword, and then charged out in a flash.

    Chichen Tianqiong was shocked to see this and was about to speak when he saw Chen Mo's sword strike already slashing out.

    The two people who were radiating with golden light confronted Chen Mo, but moments later, they were cut down by a single slash of his sword.

    "Damn, he's too strong."

    The two assassins only came out to help, never expecting to encounter such a terrifying opponent as Chen Mo. Now, seeing their main attackers killed, they didn't hesitate to turn around and flee.

    Chen Mo swung his sword, first killing the one who used the golden poison.

    The remaining person had not yet moved, but was already captured by Chichen Tianqiong.

    "Master, I have captured this person."

    Chichen Tianqiong subdued the person with a few moves, killing all the poisons, and one of their hands was broken.

    Chen Mo walked over with a cold expression, and Chichen Tianqiong quickly spoke, "Master, this must be the work of Chi Hong. If we kill him, it may not be appropriate."

    "Why worry about one more after killing so many?"

    Chen Mo raised an eyebrow.

    "But if we kill him, there will be no evidence to prove that Chi Hong wanted to harm you. Chi Hong has immense power in the Wan Duo Cavern, and for you to leave safely, you will need to borrow the power of other high-ranking warriors, such as Her Majesty……"

    Chen Mo pondered for a moment and found Chichen Tianqiong's words to be sensible. He nodded and instructed Chichen Tianqiong to take the person, preparing to take him back first.

    "Hmpf, you can't ask me anything from now on……"

    The man gritted his teeth and spoke angrily, glaring at Chen Mo with hatred. He then bit his tongue and intended to end his own life.

    Seeing this, Chichen Tianqiong acted quickly with his eyes and hands. He grabbed the man's chin with one hand, twisted it with force, dislocating the jaw. Then he struck his back, straightening his body. After that, he stood there motionless.

    "Don't worry, Master. He's been infected with my bugs. Even if he has the strength, he can only follow my orders now."

    "You, come with me"

    Chichen Tianqiong said a word, and the man moved his body unnaturally, following him dully.

    "Okay"

    Chen Mo nodded satisfactorily, "I'll take care of this person for now. There's something I need to trouble you with. Please go and invite the Madam Saint from your side to my room…"

    Chichen Tianqiong nodded lightly, "Alright, Master, please wait a moment. I'll go and invite the Madam Saint."

    As soon as he finished speaking, Chichen Tianqiong jumped up to the top and disappeared into thin air.

    Chen Mo looked back at the man and gently twisted his chin back into place, "Speak up, who sent you here?"

    The man wanted to twist his head away from Chen Mo, but his body would not comply, and he remained stiff and motionless.

    "Alright, since you won't open your mouth, I'll find other ways to make you speak."
