Chapter 1050 - 1059: Heaven-Suppressing Pass

For this kind of idle gossip, Chen Mo didn't take it to heart. Having grown up from the bottom to where he was now, his mindset was already strong enough. This bit of sarcasm couldn't affect him.

Chen Mo just smiled it off.

"Aunt Yi, Young Master Mo," Huang Lingling brushed off her disappointment and greeted with a smile.

"Long time no see," Chen Mo responded with a smile, glancing at the center of Huang Lingling's forehead.

350063.

"Little benefactor, long time no see," Feng Ying also approached with a smile, his eyes first sweeping over Huang Yi, then settling on Chen Mo.

Chen Mo instinctively looked at Feng Ying's left arm, surprised at how complete it looked, as if it had never been broken.

"Young Master Fengying," Chen Mo cupped his hands and said, thinking no matter what the other person was thinking, since they greeted him with a smile, he definitely shouldn't be discourteous. He said, "Today your left arm bears the Cyan Lotus; tomorrow your Spirit Platform will bloom with golden petals."

Feng Ying was momentarily stunned, but luckily he had read books of the Human Race and understood that this was a congratulatory remark for his left arm's regeneration, so he replied politely.

"Alright, now that everyone is here, let's set off," Feng Hong said impatiently. Although he no longer targeted Chen Mo, he wasn't showing any goodwill either. Since they were all present, there was no need to waste time; they should depart promptly.

The Great Elder, Feng Nian, also nodded, then turned to the young man in black beside him, smiling. "Ning'er, get acquainted with young friend Chen Mo first, so that you can look after each other when you reach the Ancient Ruins."

As these words were spoken, Chen Mo immediately looked at the young man in black, his eyes narrowing.

The young man wore a black robe, had broad shoulders, and a burly build, yet his face was cold and stern.

Among the younger generation in the square, this person had the strongest power.

Amazingly at 636649.

His power exceeded Huang Lingling's by more than two hundred thousand, and was more than twice that of Chen Mo's Spiritual Power.

"Feng Ning," the young man in black sparingly said his name to Chen Mo, then fell silent.

Chen Mo suspected that if not for Feng Nian's words, he wouldn't have spoken to him at all.

"Chen Mo, Brother Feng Ning is just like that. Don't take it to heart. On this trip to the Ancient Ruins, we all have to rely on Brother Feng Ning. He's at Spirit Wheel Realm Perfection and is a seed genius of our Eagle Owl Race," Huang Lingling said proudly, looking at Feng Ning with admiration, but the latter seemed oblivious to her gaze.

"Seed genius..."

Chen Mo was taken aback. If he remembered correctly, he had heard from Huang Yi that so-called seed geniuses were those among the Eagle Owl Race's younger generation who had already matured, unlike the yet-to-mature talents like Feng Ying and Huang Su, who were candidates to inherit the elder position in the future.

Huang Yi herself used to be a seed genius of the Eagle Owl Race.

Chen Mo was secretly surprised and couldn't help but ask, "Are all the people going to the Ancient Ruins like him?"

Huang Lingling raised a jade finger to her chin in thought, then said, "Probably not entirely. After all, no force could possibly send out all their successors. If something happens, there would be no one left. But each force surely has one or two people like Brother Feng Ning leading the way."

"If you're scared, it's not too late to regret it now."

At this time, a cold voice reached Chen Mo's ears. Following the sound, Chen Mo saw it was Feng Xuan.

Feng Xuan's hands were crossed on his chest, his eyes filled with sarcasm and resentment.

Among the four of them—Feng Ying, Huang Su, Huang Lingling, and him—he was the first to reach the Spirit Wheel Realm because he was the only one who hadn't achieved Spirit Platform Extreme Realm.

Although the difference with the other three wasn't significant at present, and his strength was even greater, his potential wasn't as high as theirs.

And naturally, he blamed Chen Mo for it.

If only Chen Mo hadn't taken the quota for the Jade Secret Realm.

If only he had returned that extra Seven-Turned Spirit Fruit to him, he wouldn't be in this situation.

Chen Mo frowned slightly.

In his eyes, Feng Xuan's power was at 450089.

"Is that all?"

Chen Mo couldn't help but look down on Feng Xuan a bit.

Although his power wasn't stronger than Feng Xuan's, his Primordial Spirit Realm was only at the early stage of the Celestial Essence Realm, just about fifty thousand less.

If he added some trump cards, Chen Mo was confident that he could surpass Feng Xuan.

He contemplated whether, given the opportunity, he should resolve Feng Xuan once they were in the Ancient Ruins.

After all, Feng Xuan had already harbored resentment against him, and this kind of potential danger had to be eliminated.

Just as Chen Mo was about to say something, Huang Su also spoke: "Feng Xuan's right. With your strength, there's no need to go to the Ancient Ruins to throw away your life. Brother Feng Ning can't protect everyone."

Hearing Huang Su's words, everyone was stunned.

Because, in their impressions, Huang Su wasn't someone who would say such things.

Chen Mo opened his mouth, swallowing back the words he wanted to say and instead said, "Thank both of you for your kind intentions, but I, Chen Mo, keep my word. Once I've promised something to someone, I won't go back on it."

Feng Xuan snorted coldly.

Huang Su was somewhat displeased, but didn't show it, for fear of being noticed by others. Instead, she turned her gaze away, thinking, "Let your mouth be tough. If you encounter danger inside, see who will save you."

"Alright, stop saying disunifying words," Feng Nian said disapprovingly, glancing at Feng Xuan and Huang Su. "Since everyone is ready, let's set off."

"Wait a minute."

At this moment, Huang Yi spoke up and, without waiting for Feng Nian to respond, took Chen Mo's hand and led him aside.
