78: I don't know if I'm safe, but they definitely aren't safe.

“Senior Brother Shen, I have a question. I don't know if I should ask it.”

“Oh! What is the question, Junior Brother Han? Feel free to ask, and I will definitely answer your doubts.”

“I want to ask, are all the Disciples of Xiao Zhu Peak ‘picked up’ by Senior Brother Shen from outside?”

Chu Mo ultimately couldn't hold back and asked the question that had been weighing on his mind.

Given his Senior Brother's personality and the arrangement of Disciples on Xiao Zhu Peak, it was highly possible that he had indeed picked them all up.

After all, Xiao Zhu Peak was full of females, with only him and Shen Qingqiu being males, which made it hard not to overthink.

“Picked up?” Shen Qingqiu shook his head, “My two Revered Masters were indeed picked up by me, but the other Junior Sisters, including you, are all pitiable people…”

“That’s enough!”

Chu Mo raised his hand, indicating there was no need to continue, as he had already guessed most of it.

He didn't know how many of those Great Accomplishment Stage 'pitiable people' were real.

But one thing was certain.

Xiao Zhu Peak was not suitable for him to stay.

The water was too deep.

Chu Mo's gaze swept sharply over the small hand wrapped around Shen Qingqiu's waist.

“It’s better not to set foot on Xiao Zhu Peak today, otherwise… I fear there might be a fatal disaster.”

That's what he thought in his heart.

But Shen Qingqiu clearly wasn't going to let him off.

“Junior Brother Han, a few days ago, my two Revered Masters were in closed-door cultivation, so they didn't see you. Now that you have finished investigating the matters of Dan Peak, you should go pay your respects to my two Revered Masters.”

Shen Qingqiu's words sent a chill down Chu Mo's spine. Going to Xiao Zhu Peak on this day was no different from seeking death.

It might turn into another Asura Field.

His mind raced, constantly thinking of reasons to decline.

“Senior Brother Shen, I’d better not go to Xiao Zhu Peak today, because I’ve found a very important clue that might require me to leave Xuanxiao Peak for a period of time.”

“I came today to ask Senior Brother for a few Magic Treasures for protection, to facilitate my investigation into the Xuanxiao Sect’s undercover agents.”

Shen Qingqiu frowned.

Chu Mo was a little nervous. Had this Senior Brother discovered something amiss?

“Junior Brother Han is in such a hurry?”

“Ah… right!” Chu Mo nodded, following his words and throwing out a few pieces of information.

“There is indeed a bit of a clue. This matter involves the Dragon Clan, who do not appear in the world. These people seem to have reached some kind of deal with the Dragon Clan…”

Chu Mo frowned, showing a contemplative look, as if he was sorting out the information he had obtained.

After a while, he said, “They seem to want to change the power structure of the Xuanling Continent. Moreover, these people can summon Immortals through a medium, but they don’t seem like normal Immortals. They seem to be… Fallen Immortals!”

Fallen Immortals?

Immortals who had fallen into the Demonic Path?

Shen Qingqiu’s expression had never been so solemn. If those people could truly bring Immortals who had fallen into the Demonic Path into the mortal realm, it would definitely be a great catastrophe for the world.

“Junior Brother Han, since this matter concerns Fallen Immortals, then I shall accompany you to investigate it!”

Chu Mo fell silent upon hearing this.

Not to mention whether the Crossing Talisman could take Shen Qingqiu to the Holy Spirit Continent where Ning Haocheng was.

Just the nature of what he was going to do this time, he wasn't taking a peaceful route.

He was going to stir up trouble.

Furthermore, Shen Qingqiu and Ning Haocheng had met before, and Ning Haocheng had faced Shen Qingqiu as Protector Ning of Seven Kill Hall.

If he were to converse and laugh with Ning Haocheng, Shen Qingqiu might become suspicious.

Therefore.

Bringing this Senior Brother along was not suitable.

“Senior Brother Shen, please do not get involved in this matter. You are a Great Accomplishment Stage Cultivator of the Xuanxiao Sect, and your every move will attract countless attention.”

“Once you disappear from public view for a long time, those people will definitely become suspicious, and then our operation might fail.”

Chu Mo reasoned with him, appealing to his emotions.

Shen Qingqiu nodded slightly, “That is indeed a valid point, but Junior Brother Han, Immortals who have fallen into the Demonic Path are too terrifying. There is a vast difference between Immortals and mortals. Even I would find it difficult to win against an Immortal!”

Hmm?

Difficult to win?

Chu Mo immediately caught the key point in his words.

What did
