First Immortal of Destiny

Chapter 54: The Person Behind the Scenes (Additional Update from the Helmsman)

There is indeed someone behind the scenes!

"Who is that person?"

"I don't know his identity or name, but based on his appearance, he is an old man with white hair wearing a simple Taoist robe. He claims to have a connection with our Blood Robe Sect."

"He forced me to gather our old members and rebuild the sect's gate, seeking revenge for the strong members of the Blood Robe Sect who died. Otherwise, he threatened to take our lives."

A mysterious Taoist? Forcing revenge?

Shen Mo listened quietly without interrupting, signaling her to continue.

"My brother and I barely escaped with our lives, how could we willingly accept being killed? So, we had no choice but to agree to seek revenge for the Blood Robe Sect."

"However, the enemies of the Blood Robe Sect are numerous righteous forces in Tianyou City, with countless strong individuals. My brother and I are just insignificant figures in the martial world, weak in strength."

"Even if we have the intention for revenge, we lack the ability."

Gu Chao didn't dare to hide anything and poured out everything: "But that person said he has a way to make my brother and me become powerful martial artists in this world."

"Not only did he give us secret martial arts techniques, but also many spirit pills and elixirs to enhance our cultivation speed."

After receiving all the benefits from that person, Gu Chao and Gu Ming, the siblings, made rapid progress in their cultivation.

In just five years, they reached the Innate Grandmaster realm, which is difficult for ordinary people to achieve in their entire lives.

Armed with weapons, their killing intent arose.

The growth in their strength changed their previously anxious mindset, and they became arrogant in their actions.

This led to their recent rampage in the martial world upon returning to Tianyou City.

According to the woman's explanation, this mysterious person's methods were extraordinary, far from ordinary worldly affairs.

He should be someone from the cultivation world.

But as cultivators, why would they interfere in mundane matters and support the remnants of the Blood Robe Sect?

Seemingly sensing Shen Mo's doubts, Gu Chao shook her head and said, "I also don't know what that person's intentions are."

"In fact, I have only met that person once."

"After that, he only contacted my brother, Gu Ming, and entrusted him with various matters without informing me."

Her brother, mentioned by her, is the current Blood Robe Sect Master, known as Ming Wang.

"It seems that we need to capture that guy to find out the details."

Shen Mo believed that Gu Chao didn't have the courage to hide anything from him, so she genuinely didn't know the details.

"Where is the Blood Robe Sect headquarters now?"

"By the Yuheng Lake outside Tianyou City."

"Is that person also in the Blood Robe Sect?"

Gu Chao shook her head and said, "No, that expert's whereabouts are unpredictable, and he doesn't stay in the Blood Robe Sect."

"He's not there?"

After the interrogation, Shen Mo finally decided to go directly to the Blood Robe Sect headquarters.

Since that mysterious person wasn't there, it was better to capture the main culprit sooner rather than later.

Otherwise, if the news leaked and the so-called Ming Wang of the Blood Robe Sect fled, he wouldn't have time to stay and chase after him.

He pushed open the door.

Outside the room, the members of the Shen family were all waiting.

Seeing Shen Mo come out, Shen Zhou, the head of the family, stepped forward and greeted, unable to help but ask, "Are you a member of our Shen family, Immortal Master?"

"Shen Yunchang." Shen Mo nodded slightly and replied.

"Shen Yunchang..." Shen Zhou sighed and said, "I do have some impression of that child."

"Back then, my nephew and his wife passed away one after another, which made him depressed for several years. In the end, he chose to leave home and seek his own path. Unexpectedly, he had the opportunity to enter the immortal sect."

"Unfortunately, things change, and I didn't have the chance to see him again. Fortunately, Yunchang still has descendants in this world."

As he spoke, he put on the appearance of an elder of the family, looking at Shen Mo with a face full of affection.

It seemed that he was waiting for Shen Mo to acknowledge his identity and return to the family, creating a scene of a happy reunion.

However, Shen Mo's attitude was somewhat indifferent. "Those are all old matters."

In Shen Mo's memory, he knew that his father came from a branch of the family.

His relationship with the main branch, represented by Shen Zhou, was not particularly harmonious.

Shen Zhou's current expression of sorrow and regret seems more like a show than genuine feelings.

"Ahem."

Shen Mo's indifferent appearance made Shen Zhou feel somewhat embarrassed, and for a moment, he didn't know what to say.

As the head of the family, Shen Mo intended to be accommodating, but unexpectedly, this nephew who was cultivating in the immortal sect seemed to have no sense of belonging to the Shen family.

He couldn't even be bothered to exchange pleasantries.

"Regardless, I still want to thank the immortal master for saving my Shen family from danger."

"Master, on behalf of more than 120 members of the Shen family, I express our gratitude."

As an experienced person in the martial arts world, Shen Zhou naturally knew how to adapt.

Seeing that he had no sense of belonging to the family, he no longer insisted on putting on a show of deep affection.

The way he addressed Shen Mo also became subtly more respectful.

"I am born of the Shen family's bloodline. When the family is in trouble, it is necessary to lend a helping hand, otherwise the karmic ties will be difficult to dissolve."

He nodded slightly, satisfied with Shen Zhou's change in attitude.

In fact, Shen Mo was not a person indifferent to emotional connections, solely focused on climbing the arduous path of immortality.

The main reason for his distant attitude towards the Shen family was that he didn't have much emotional foundation with them.

He also didn't want to act as a nanny for this mortal family with only a blood relation.

To him, even if it was a close blood relative, it was far less intimate than Chen Shu and others who were neighbors.

"Master, how do you plan to deal with the demoness from the demonic sect?"

At this moment, Shen Zhiyun spoke up, diluting the previously tense and cold atmosphere.

"For now, keep her detained in the Shen family."

Shen Mo said indifferently, "I have already obtained the location of the Blood Robe Sect's headquarters from her mouth. I plan to go there first and capture the Ming Wang."

Capture the Ming Wang!

Upon hearing this, the Shen family was quite excited.

Since declaring himself the leader of the Blood Robe Sect, the Ming Wang had made several shocking moves in the past six months, shaking the entire Tianyou City martial arts world.

Although he was hated to the bone by the righteous martial artists, no one dared to eliminate this great menace to the martial arts world.

Because his strength was simply too strong.

He was a legend in the martial arts world, a legendary realm of martial arts.

At present, only Shen Mo, as an immortal cultivator, had the ability and courage to say that he would capture and kill this beast.

"If the master intends to go to the Blood Robe Sect's headquarters, I am willing to accompany you."

A martial arts hero who had been carefully listening to everyone's conversation in the courtyard walked out with a sword and volunteered.

"I am also willing to go!"

"This kind of major event cannot be without me, the Thunder Hand. I am also willing to go with the master!"

"Count me in!"

For a while, all the martial arts powerhouses from Tianyou City who had come to attend the Hero Banquet expressed their desire to accompany them.

The immortal master descending to the mortal world and subduing the demonic den was a rare and extraordinary event for these ordinary mortals.

Even for these martial arts powerhouses, they didn't want to miss it.

If they could witness this grand event with their own eyes, they would have something to boast about in the future.

Moreover, there were many divine weapons and martial arts manuals hidden within the Blood Robe Sect.

As an immortal master, Shen Mo might not care about worldly possessions.

But for them, it was different.

Those martial arts manuals were enough to make martial arts heroes flock to them, causing a bloody storm.

"If you are willing to accompany me, then so be it."

Shen Mo did not drive away these warriors who proposed to join him, he simply said indifferently.

Afterwards, he set off for the Blood Robe Sect's headquarters located by the Yu Heng River.

Behind him, there was a sea of people, vast and mighty.
