You should know that above Chu Tianming, there were still three Elders.
Though these three Elders were advanced in years, every one of them possessed extraordinary strength, ranging from the sixth to eighth levels of the Dharma Aspect Realm.
Beyond that, the Chu Family had that mysterious and unfathomably powerful Ancestor of the Ninth Level Dharma Idol standing guard.
What was more, the Chu Family had planted quite a few Cultivators within the immensely powerful Four Directions Merchant Association.
Experts of the Dharma Aspect Realm were few within the merchant association, but they were by no means nonexistent.
Furthermore, the Chu Family had the Qi Family as an ally.

"They have been properly accommodated," the guard replied.
Just then, Chu Tianming's expression changed.
He sensed the clan's grand array activating on its own, but in the next instant...
Boom!
The Clan Protection Array shattered without warning!
Chu Tianming's pupils abruptly contracted as he jerked his head up.
They had only just spoken of him, and he had already arrived—and with such swagger!

"Who goes there—"
Chu Tianming's shout of challenge came to an abrupt halt.
He saw the Black-Robed Attendant's deathly pale face—this killing god of the Four Directions Merchant Association was now standing there
