Qing Mo and his group stayed in Cloud Thunder City for three days before setting off for other places. When Yun Xiaotian and Hao Jinghong arrived in Cloud Thunder City, they found that Qing Mo and his group had already left!
However, after Qing Mo and the others left Cloud Thunder City, the person who had informed Yun Xiaotian and Hao Jinghong noticed that their young master had not yet arrived, but the person they were looking for had left first!
In order not to lose Qing Mo and the other three again, he thought about it and finally decided to risk following behind Qing Mo. However, even though he tried his best to suppress his aura and quietly followed Qing Mo and the others!
Qing Mo and her group still easily spotted them. Qing Mo initially thought the other person just thought her maid was pretty and was following behind to steal a few more glances. Qing Mo didn't think anything of it, after all, everyone has the right to appreciate beauty!
However, the next day, Qing Mo and his group discovered that he was still following them, and when he quietly took out the communication jade talisman, it silently appeared behind him!
Just as he looked up and realized that Qing Mo and his group were nowhere to be seen, Yueji's alluring voice sounded from behind him. She whispered, "Young man, you've been secretly watching us all day yesterday! Haven't you had enough yet?"
"You're planning to contact other people today? What? Do you have some kind of idea about us?"
The man turned around and found Qing Mo and his group standing behind him. He then discreetly put the communication jade talisman into his storage ring. Of course, this little action of his could not be hidden from Qing Mo and the others!
Then the man looked at Yueji with a smile and said, "Please don't be offended, young lady. It's just that the three ladies are too charming, and I'm so infatuated with them that I can't help myself!"
I'll leave right away, right away!
Just as the man was about to leave, Mo Yanyu and Cang Lanyue instantly blocked his way, and then slowly said, "Alright, there was no desire in your eyes when you looked at us before!"
You can't fool us. Take out the communication jade talisman from your storage ring! Let's see who sent you to follow us!
When the man saw Mo Yanyu and Cang Lanyue instantly block his way, and he couldn't sense any spiritual energy fluctuations from them at all, fear flickered in his eyes!
Qing Mo's mind stirred, and the sound transmission jade talisman in the man's storage ring flew out. Seeing this, he was about to take the sound transmission jade talisman back, but the auras of Mo Yanyu and the other two instantly locked onto him!
The man watched as Qing Mo activated the communication jade talisman. The talisman emitted a faint light, and then a hurried voice rang out. " Xiao Tao, what's wrong?"
Brother Yun and I will arrive in Cloud Thunder City in two days. How are those people? They didn't leave, did they?"
Just as the man called Xiao Tao was about to speak, he suddenly realized that he couldn't make a sound. No matter how hard he tried to shout or open his mouth wide, it was all in vain!
Qing Mo looked at the communication jade talisman floating in front of him and slowly said, "That person named Xiao Tao is right in front of me! I'm a little curious, who are you people, that you dared to send him to follow me!"
Could you tell me? I don't recall knowing anyone in this area!
Yun Xiaotian and Hao Jinghong, who were still rushing to Cloud Thunder City, heard a strange man's voice coming from the communication jade talisman. The man said that Xiao Tao was right in front of them!
It's clear that Xiao Tao discovered those people were leaving Cloud Thunder City. Fearing he would lose track of Qing Mo and the others again, he risked following them, only to be discovered!
Immediately, Hao Jinghong's voice rang out from the communication jade talisman. He said, "I'm really sorry, fellow Daoist! My brother Xiao Tao has offended you all somewhere. Could you please let him off the hook for the sake of Splendid Blossom City and the Hao Clan?"
"I am Hao Jinghong of the Hao Clan. If this fellow Daoist is willing to let Xiao Tao go, I am willing to offer an apology! What do you say?"
Unfortunately, Yun Xiaotian and Hao Jinghong were still on their way to Cloud Thunder City, so he could only invoke the Hao Clan's name to see if he could temporarily intimidate Qing Mo and his group!
After all, the Hao Clan of Splendid Blossom City are considered top-tier forces on the Crimson Spirit Continent. Other sects or families would generally give them some respect when they heard of the Hao Clan name!
This young man named Xiao Tao was Hao Jinghong's childhood playmate, even though they were master and servant!
However, after so many years of companionship, Hao Jinghong had long regarded Xiao Tao as family. Hao Jinghong knew that the other party was the murderer who killed Fan Yuan and others, the person who could kill Fan Yuan and other mid-stage Dao Palace Realm experts!
Their cultivation level is at least at the late stage of the Dao Palace Realm, while Xiao Tao Tao's cultivation level is only at the mid-stage of the Divine Bridge Realm. There is a difference of two major realms. If the other party is willing, then this young man named Xiao Tao will have absolutely no chance of surviving!
Upon hearing the message from the communication jade talisman, Qing Mo replied indifferently, "What Hao Clan in Splendid Blossom City? Never heard of them! I originally thought this kid just thought my maid was pretty, which is why he was following us and peeking at her!"
After all, there's nothing wrong with beautiful things being appreciated, and I'm not that petty. However, we discovered that he actually dared to secretly inform us. It seems he has ulterior motives!
Therefore, to avoid any unexpected situations, we must nip them in the bud at the source!
Hearing the faint killing intent in Qing Mo's words, Hao Jinghong immediately became anxious. He quickly said, "Fellow Daoist, please show mercy! I apologize on behalf of Xiao Tao. I am willing to pay the price, please do not harm him!"
Upon hearing Hao Jinghong's words, Qing Mo said indifferently, "This young master doesn't need your pittance. Next time, open your eyes wider; not just anyone can be followed!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Qing Mo gestured to Yueji with his eyes. The latter nodded slightly and immediately grabbed the man named Xiao Tao by the neck. Then, in the latter's terrified eyes, Yueji crushed his neck with a slight force!

The sound of a neck being crushed reached them, and Yun Xiaotian and Hao Jinghong, who had been carefully listening to the transmission jade talisman, were immediately enraged, and then couldn't help but feel grief!
They never imagined that just because Xiao Tao helped them discover the trail of the murderer who killed Fan Yuan and the others, he would be separated from them by death!
Immediately, the voice transmission jade talisman rang out, revealing Hao Jinghong's voice filled with gritted teeth. "No matter who you are, I, Hao Jinghong, swear that I will tear you to pieces and grind your bones to dust to accompany Xiao Tao in his burial!"
"Let you audacious fools see the wrath of the Hao Clan!"
Qing Mo was too lazy to listen to their nonsense. He was about to destroy the communication jade talisman, and after he went to the next place to get what he needed, he immediately turned around and went to the Hao Clan in Splendid Blossom City!
Since he wants to tear Qing Mo and his group to pieces and grind their bones to ashes, then Qing Mo might as well take the initiative to visit them and send their Hao Clan to their eternal bliss!
However, just as Qing Mo was about to destroy the communication jade talisman, Yun Xiaotian's voice rang out from it. "Since you so disregard the Hao Clan of Splendid Blossom City, you wouldn't be afraid to tell us your name, would you?"
Also, did you kill some elderly people a few months ago?
Qing Mo immediately said, "Just a small family. Remember, my name is Qing Mo!"
As for the old men you mentioned, I did kill one surnamed Fan, but the others were killed by my maids at my behest!
As for his name, I've forgotten! After all, a dead man's name isn't worth remembering!
Upon hearing Qing Mo's words, Yun Xiaotian immediately took the communication jade talisman from Hao Jinghong's hand. He then roared loudly at the talisman, "So it really was you who killed Uncle Fan and the others! Why did you kill them?"
Tell me, where are you? I'm going to kill you with my own hands!
Upon hearing this, Qing Mo immediately laughed and said, "Killed them, so what? Why?"
You say you want to kill me? That's interesting. Fine! I'll give you a chance. You must be on your way to Cloud Thunder City, right? Was it that Xiao Tao who told you?
Unfortunately, we left Cloud Thunder City long ago. How about this? I'm going to Flower Moon City Flower Moon City. How about I give you a chance and wait for you there to kill me?"
Upon hearing Qing Mo's words, Yun Xiaotian was about to speak when he discovered that the communication between the sound transmission jade talisman had been completely cut off. He initially thought there was a problem, but after trying several times with his spiritual power, he finally realized that...
It turned out that Qing Mo had destroyed the communication jade talisman as soon as he finished speaking!
This caused Yun Xiaotian's blood to rush to his head instantly, and Hao Jinghong was also furious. He did not expect that the other party would not even give the Hao Clan family any face. Not only did they not give them face, but they also put the Hao Clan on the ground and stomped on them several times!
After destroying the communication jade talisman, Qing Mo turned and left with her maids, while the corpse of the young man named Xiao Tao lay quietly on the ground!
A few days later, Qing Mo and his group arrived at Flower Moon City, where one of the rare and precious materials Qing Mo needed, the Wanyue Ying Flower, was located!
As soon as Qing Mo and his group arrived in Flower Moon City, they went straight to the location of Wanyue Ying Flower. After a "friendly exchange," Qing Mo obtained Wanyue Ying Flower!
Qing Mo and his group then settled down in Flower Moon City. After all, since someone was going to such lengths to deliver a gift, how could they refuse it?
A few days later, when Yueji, Mo Yanyu, and Cang Lanyue were strolling in Flower Moon City, two Qing Mo suddenly blocked their way!
The two who stopped Yueji and the others were Yun Xiaotian and Hao Jinghong. In particular, Yun Xiaotian's eyes were full of anger and killing intent when he looked at Yueji. This woman in front of him had killed his grandfather Wu!
Just as Yun Xiaotian was about to make a move in the street, Hao Jinghong quickly stopped him. Then, Hao Jinghong transmitted his voice to Yun Xiaotian: "Martial arts are forbidden in Flower Moon City. Go to the Life and Death Arena!"
Upon hearing Hao Jinghong's telepathic message, Yun Xiaotian suppressed his anger and said in a low voice to Yueji and the other two, "Where is that man named Qing Mo? Tell him to get over here and face his death!"
Hearing Yun Xiaotian speak like that, Cang Lanyue was instantly furious, and Mo Yanyu and Yueji quickly helped her up!
Then Yueji whispered to Cang Lanyue, "Sister Cang, Master said he will take action personally!"
Now that they've arrived in Flower Moon City, let's quickly inform our master!
As soon as Yueji finished speaking, Qing Mo appeared directly behind the maids from his room. Then, looking at Yun Xiaotian and Hao Jinghong, Qing Mo said softly, "I've arrived! It's been hard for you two to come all this way to your deaths, so of course I'll take care of it myself!"
Yun Xiaotian immediately stepped forward, angrily shouting at Qing Mo, "You're the Qing Mo who murdered Uncle Fan, aren't you?"
Qing Mo nodded slightly and replied, "You mean that old guy surnamed Fan? I did kill him. I just grabbed his neck, crushed it, and threw his body aside like trash!"
Hearing Qing Mo's nonchalant words, Yun Xiaotian roared, " Qing Mo, do you dare come with me to the life-or-death arena! I'll make you taste the pain Uncle Fan went through!"
Qing Mo laughed and said, "If I didn't dare, why would I have been waiting for you here for days?"
However, I must correct you on one point: I crushed him to death instantly, so he didn't experience any pain at all.
Therefore, you should thank this young master for this rare act of mercy!
The more Yun Xiaotian listened to Qing Mo's words, the angrier he became. He clenched his fists so tightly that he didn't even notice his nails digging into his flesh and blood dripping from his palms!
However, Yun Xiaotian's roar attracted the attention of many cultivators nearby. Judging from the conversation between Yun Xiaotian and Qing Mo, the roaring youth had come seeking revenge!
The news of Yun Xiaotian and Qing Mo's life-or-death duel on the Life-or-Death Arena that morning quickly spread throughout Flower Moon City. Many people in the city rushed to the Life-or-Death Arena in the center of the city, most of them just to join in the fun!
Upon reaching the edge of the Life and Death Arena, Qing Mo and Yun Xiaotian, witnessed by the Deputy City Lord of Flower Moon City, each wrote their names on the petition!
This signifies that once someone takes the stage, their fate—whether they live or die—is entirely up to fate, and outsiders are not allowed to interfere. The duel is not considered over unless one side dies or surrenders on the spot!
After signing his name, Yun Xiaotian impatiently leaped onto the arena, then looked down at Qing Mo and slowly said, "Do you have any last words, Qing Mo?"
Qing Mo ignored Yun Xiaotian on the stage and walked onto the stage step by step. When Qing Mo was also on the stage, he slowly said to Yun Xiaotian, "Your background is indeed extraordinary, and you originally had a bright future. It's just a pity that you dared to come to me for revenge!"
You could have gone back to your own home and seen your biological parents, but now you've traveled a thousand miles to your death!
However, I am quite merciful. Although you will not be able to see your parents alive, I can help you bring your ashes back to them!
Upon hearing Qing Mo's words, Yun Xiaotian was immediately shocked and quickly asked, "What do you know? Who are my parents?"
Qing Mo shook his head slightly, then said, "What use is it for a dying man to know so much?"
"I'm giving you a chance, you make the first move!"
