Chu Mo beckoned, and the two clusters of light slowly flew over and settled in his palm. Rivers flowed without ceasing, rain nourished all things; the two complemented each other, their mystique beyond words.
"Fine treasures!" he exclaimed in wonder.
These two root origins were both Great Evolution's cherished treasures. Had Xuanming not used a Karmic Fate Coin to purchase them temporarily, they would long since have returned to their rightful places at the Great Dao's summons.
Keeping them for himself was out of the question. Once Great Evolution noticed, he would certainly taste bitter consequences. Using them as bargaining chips to secure some benefits, however, was feasible.
Still, now was not the time to consider that. There were more important matters to deal with.
With that thought, Chu Mo put away the two root origins and dismissed his other-self aspect before activating the authority of [Netherworld].
In an instant, several figures emerged from a dark, shadowy Nether Domain.
Ji Heng emerged from the Nether Domain, ready to strike a vicious blow at whoever stood opposite him. Then he caught sight of Chu Mo, hurriedly dispersed the radiance in his hand, and asked in surprise:
"Fellow Daoist Chu, why is it you? Where's that scoundrel Xuanming?"
Chu Mo smiled faintly. "The Sect Master has already been executed."
All seven of them froze at his words.
"Dead?" Wuxie asked with a frown. "How did he die?" "Heaven's Will struck him dead." Chu Mo coughed lightly. "Perhaps the Sect Master committed too many sins."
The seven: "..."
Struck dead by Heaven's Will? What was that supposed to mean?
Xuanming's fortune might have been poor, but surely not so poor that he would be struck by lightning?
Several days later, in the Emptiness True Realm of the Tribulation Deliverance Sect.
