Several days later.
Inside his Cave Abode, Chu Mo hefted the Storage Bag he had just received from Jue Ming, the corners of his mouth lifting slightly.
He had chosen Jue Ming with great care.
The man had long since reached Foundation Establishment Perfection, had all his true refinement methods ready, cultivated a technique compatible with the Heavenly Water Goddess, and followed a Dao Path renowned for slaughter.
As such, his chances of breaking through to Golden Core were very high, and the Life-Bound Divine Ability he ultimately formed would surely be no disappointment.
As for having him kill Bai Du, beyond easing Jue Ming's suspicions, Chu Mo had two other considerations.
First, he wanted to make trouble for Bai Du. Chu Mo had never been one to swallow insults and suffer in silence. Now that he was certain something was wrong with the man, he would naturally strike him head-on. Second, Chu Mo had learned that Bai Du intended to take part in the unification of the Cloudmist Realm.
If Jue Ming wanted to fulfill their agreement, his best opportunity would be to enter Cloudmist alongside Bai Du and wait for a chance to strike within the realm.
"If Jue Ming participates in Cloudmist's unification, fortune will surely descend upon him once he returns to Fuli... What would happen if I devoured him with [All Beings Aspect] before then?"
Chu Mo narrowed his eyes slightly.
Since we're all "me," there's nothing wrong with "me" enjoying "my" fortune, is there?
"Dharma Coins, a Divine Ability, fortune."
Chu Mo chuckled. Giving away one method and reaping three rewards-now that was truly eating one fish three ways.
Besides, given the marvels of the Life-Ending Society's inherited Divine Ability, [Karmic Cutting], it might well make Bai Du suffer if he was caught unprepared.
