Faced with this scene, many people in the Star Luo Empire glared angrily, looking ready to take action at any moment.

The Star Luo Emperor roared, "Step back!"

The Star Luo Emperor glanced around and said sternly, "Anyone who dares to offend our distinguished guest again will have their entire family exterminated."

Seeing the other party so readily back down, Chen Mo was a little at a loss. Wasn't the Star Luo Empire always quite tough? Why did they back down when it came to him? This wasn't how the script was going to go.

If things go like this, how can I demonstrate my strength and intimidate them?

Chen Mo then nitpicked at the problem, but the Star Luo Empire simply wouldn't listen.

It all boils down to one word: patience.

No matter what Chen Mo did, they tolerated it, determined not to have any conflict with Chen Mo.

In the end, Chen Mo had no choice. Since the other party had already backed down, what else could he do?

Surely we can't really slaughter them all.

Chen Mo said helplessly, "Since you're all so tolerant, I won't force you."

In short, if the Star Luo Empire ever harbors ill intentions towards my closest relatives, then I will slaughter you all and make the Star Luo Empire a thing of the past.

The Star Luo Emperor calmly stated, "The Star Luo Empire will certainly comply with your request. As the Emperor of the Star Luo Empire, I assure you that absolutely no one will dare to lay a finger on your closest relatives..."

Chen Mo: "Since that's the case, very good, very good..."

Chen Mo then returned to the temple to devote himself to cultivation.

As for Lin Yaodong, Chen Mo sent him out to gain experience. As a swordsman, if he didn't have a few scars on his body and hadn't killed a few strong people, what was the point of wielding a sword or following the path of the sword? He might as well go home and play with women.

Chen Mo didn't have any specific requirements, he just asked him to fight more and experience more life-and-death battles.

Of course, it's not like he's actually going to his death; he can come back once he gets his life-saving item out of his hand.

Alternatively, he could defeat at least one level 95 Super Douluo and no fewer than ten Titled Douluo. Only then would he be considered qualified. After that, he could focus on cultivation and wait until Chen Mo advanced to the Golden Core Stage before taking him to other worlds.

Not long after Chen Mo returned to the temple, Dugu Bo came to visit him with Dugu Yan.

Dugu Bo joked, "Greetings, Your Excellency the Sun God, haha~"

Chen Mo chuckled, "Mr. Dugu is quite witty. We're practically acquaintances now, so please just say what you need. If I can help, I don't mind lending a hand."

Dugu Bo: "Since you are so straightforward, young friend, then I will be frank. I have come here with two matters to discuss."

Firstly, I came for my granddaughter Yanyan. My friend once promised me that my descendants for five generations could receive a spiritual herb from you. I want to use two chances to give Yanyan two immortal Immortal Herb at the same time: the Infernal Delicate Apricot and the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass.

Young friend, do you think this is feasible?

Chen Mo smiled and said, "Of course, Yanyan and I have known each other for a while now. In addition, Mr. Dugu has been secretly protecting my sister and Xiao Wu for some time. Consider these two Immortal Herb as an opportunity. Consider it a gift from me to her."

Dugu Bo stroked his beard. "In that case, I won't stand on ceremony."

Dugu Bo: "The second thing is that the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect gave me a 30,000-year-old left leg Soul Bone and asked me to come and pass on a message to you."

Ning Fengzhi said he had angered you because of the Heaven Dou City incident, and that he was willing to pay any price just to ask you to spare the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

Chen Mo: "So that's why, Yaodong..."

Chen Mo suddenly remembered that Lin Yaodong had already been sent out for training and was not here.

Chen Mo always entrusted him with all sorts of small tasks, and now that this person was suddenly gone, Chen Mo was still a little unaccustomed to it.

Chen Mo snapped out of his daze and continued, "Never mind, Mr. Dugu, please make another trip when you go back later and just tell Ning Fengzhi."

Just say, "The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect owes me a favor. I'll go find them when I need something. Oh, and here's a token for you."

Chen Mo then casually took out a jade pendant from his Martial Soul Space, split it in two, and set up a small sensing array on it. As long as the two fragments were close to each other, they would sense each other and move closer together.

When Chen Mo saw Dugu Yan come to visit, she happily hugged her and cried as she told her her story.

Chen Mo: "Sister Yanyan, you've finally come to see me! My brother won't let me go out to play. He's grounded me and won't let me go out until I reach the Foundation Establishment."

You have no idea, I've only been at the eleventh level of Qi Refining for a short time. To reach Foundation Establishment, it will take at least one or two years. One or two years in jail, Sister Yanyan, I'm so miserable..."

Dugu Yan couldn't help but chuckle, "Haha~ You look so cute like this!"

Dugu Yan couldn't resist pinching Chen Mo's stunningly beautiful young face.

Dugu Yan looked around and asked, "Where's Xiao Wu? Why isn't she here?"

Chen Mo shrugged. "Probably still sleeping!"

Dugu Yan:???

Since the Battle of Heaven Dou, Chen Mo has given all the techniques of the Moonlight Art to Xiao Wu.

Now, Xiao Wu sleeps for at least ten out of twelve hours every day, without fail.

She would only arrive on time at mealtimes or when there was roasted rabbit to eat.

All they do all day is eat and sleep.

This is why Chen Mo was so happy to see Dugu Yan. She was so bored, with no one to talk to, and she was confined to her quarters. Her brother wouldn't let her go out until she reached the Foundation Establishment Stage.

Chen Mo: ╮(╯_╰)╭

Chen Mo: "By the way, Mr. Dugu, you seem to be quite familiar with Prince Xue Xing?"

Dugu Bo pondered for a moment, "Prince Xue Xing once saved my life, and I owe him a favor."

Chen Mo said seriously, "Then you'd better pay it back as soon as possible. Xue Xing won't live much longer."

Dugu Bo asked with some confusion, "What do you mean by that, young friend?"

When Chen Mo killed Xue Ye, Xue Xing had just been sent to the border to comfort the soldiers. Because he was worried about Xue Beng and feared that he might be ambushed by Xue Qinghe, he took Xue Beng with him.

As a result, after the Battle of Heaven Dou, the power of the Heaven Dou City's upper echelons was basically exhausted, and the original power of Crown Prince Xue Qinghe was overwhelming compared to that of Prince Xue Xing.

Now the situation is reversed. Xue Xing's power is stronger than that of Crown Prince Xue Qinghe. In addition, Qian Renxue is currently unconscious, and the Crown Prince's side is leaderless, which makes Xue Xing's chances of winning even greater.

Logically speaking, since Ning Fengzhi is Xue Qinghe's teacher, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect School should side with Xue Qinghe. However, due to the exposure of Snake Lance Douluo She Long, Ning Fengzhi felt that Crown Prince Xue Qinghe had some kind of shady collusion with the Spirit Hall.

At this time, news spread that Crown Prince Xue Qinghe was colluding with the Spirit Hall and betraying the interests of the Heaven Dou Empire, making the situation even more unfavorable for Xue Qinghe.

That's why the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect has been hesitant to take sides and has chosen to wait and see.

Therefore, to outsiders, Xue Beng's chances of inheriting the throne are much greater than Xue Qinghe's...
