Chapter 1174: Top-Tier Forces of the Mortal Realm Join Forces

"That organization—should I tell them to lie low, or continue targeting the Mo family?" Old Gu was conflicted.

He brought up this question before they parted ways.

Up until now, he hadn't discerned the organization's true nature, nor whether something had gone wrong, as there was no evidence.

Letting them act was merely a test to observe the organization's true capabilities.

However, a single action wasn't enough to reveal much; they were very disciplined in fulfilling their ancient agreement.

Dong Dahu said, "What do we do next? It's difficult to keep confronting them, and ultimately, we can't destroy the Mo family."

Chu Feng said, "Hmm, actually, the Mo family themselves have a headache. They suffered a huge loss this time, damaging their reputation. If this continues, they'll be overwhelmed, and even fearful."

This was true. Repeated mutual hunts failed to stop Ji Dade; instead, he found people to eliminate two Half-Step Celestial Venerables, causing the greatest harm to the Mo family.

This wasn't just the visible loss; the Mo family's intangible "golden body protection" had been torn open.

Previously, no one dared to provoke the Mo family. Now, people saw that even a strange dragon and a young upstart could break their golden body. Why should others still fear them?

"Let the Mo family perish! Let's strive for a situation where a pack of wolves devours a tiger!" Chu Feng said coldly.

He felt it was necessary to continue. They could walk away and focus on their own cultivation, but Old Gu's organization could keep targeting the Mo family.

This would also serve as an opportunity to test the organization's methods and see if they still favored Old Gu.

They walked and talked, leaving the mountains and heading towards the wilderness.

At the same time, they used their cosmic brains to check the outside world and see what was happening.

"Hmm, someone is applying pressure. Has the Mo family allied with someone, or found reliable allies?" Chu Feng's expression changed.

Soon, Old Gu's face also darkened. He received feedback from the organization and saw the widespread discussion about the incident on the dark forum.

The outside world was in an uproar.

Some individuals had taken action.

The Mo family pressured the dark world, protesting and questioning the organizations: what exactly did they intend by hunting their Strange Wilderness clan in this manner?

Was this a test, an attempt to provoke the entire Strange Wilderness clan?

Next, an old monkey from the Six-Eared Macaque lineage of the Wilderness Arena appeared. Its power was heaven-shaking and terrifying; it was a rumored ancient being who had supposedly died many eras ago!

He spoke to the dark world, stating that this time things had gone too far. Did they intend to eliminate the major powerful clans of the Yang Realm?

Then, the prehistoric Shi family, Shi Huang's clan, also had their old patriarch step forward to pressure the dark organizations, telling them that such actions were unacceptable.

At the same time, a terrifyingly powerful Grand Elder from the Quasi-Immortal race was invited out of their ancestral land by the Mo family to support them, addressing the underground forces and asking them to let the matter drop.

Subsequently, a direct disciple of the Martial Lunatic—a formidable being who had lived for countless ages and was Martial Celestial Taiwu's grand-uncle—also stepped forward to formally pressure the dark organizations.

This was no small matter. It was rumored that the Martial Lunatic was one of the greatest sources of darkness. Even if his whereabouts or fate were unknown, the appearance of one of his disciples was astonishing enough to make all parties wary.

Furthermore, it wasn't long before other renowned figures from the Strange Wilderness clan appeared, such as another Human King family, who strongly supported the Mo family and sent a message to the dark organizations, warning them not to go too far!

In an instant, the atmosphere became tense, signaling an impending storm!

On this day, the entire world's atmosphere seemed to change. The situation reversed, and many major powers and formidable families stepped forward to thwart the dark forces.

What was happening?

How did the situation change so suddenly?

Chu Feng and Old Gu were both a bit stunned, their faces turning ashen. They had asked the underground forces for help, only to be jointly obstructed.

This group of people was too overbearing. They hadn't touched their interests or provoked them, yet they were ganging up to target them?

"This is outrageous, excessively tyrannical. They're all supporting the Mo family. Are they planning a joint encirclement and suppression against us?" Dong Dahu said coldly, also feeling quite annoyed.

Old Gu's face was grim. "They haven't said they're going to encircle us. They're just applying pressure, trying to cut off our means and prevent the dark forces from taking any more action."

Chu Feng frowned, saying, "In the end, it still comes down to their interests being affected."

Old Gu nodded. He had already figured out why this was happening.

From what it seemed, they were typical rogue cultivators with no significant background. Yet, this time they had caused a Strange Wilderness clan such trouble, making a Human King family bleed and suffer a loss of prestige. The commotion was too great.

Initially, many powerful clans were merely watching the show, some even wanting to kick the Mo family while they were down. But after careful consideration, they felt a wave of trepidation.

What did this situation resemble? It was as if a forbidden box had been opened!

Just two young upstarts, issuing bounties, could shake the Strange Wilderness clan. What had this become? It had disrupted the interests of the established order, and that was not a good thing.

From then on, if everyone followed suit and dared to act as crazily as Ji Dade, what would happen to the high-and-mighty interest groups?

How could this class not be afraid?

Their situation would become quite precarious, their status wouldn't be secure, and they might even be overthrown.

How could this be allowed? They had to quash everyone's ideas and prevent this trend from growing wildly. If it truly reached an unmanageable point, the interests of their entire class would be harmed.

Some foreseeable events might occur!

For example, what if a rogue cultivator accidentally discovered an ancient cave dwelling, exhausted all their heavenly materials and earthly treasures, and hired dark forces at any cost to wipe out a major clan? That scenario... was terrifying just to think about.

Or, if some families, even if weakened, wanted to fight desperately, using all their resources to challenge former enemies like the Strange Wilderness clan.

Would everyone simply stand by and watch such a situation, where the weak could challenge the strong, unfold?

Some prehistoric families were scared. Their established interests could not be overturned, or the consequences would be dire.

Of course, they knew that the root of the problem actually lay with the dark organizations, and they should be eradicated to resolve the true hidden danger.

But as of today, what lineage would dare to easily start a war? No one was willing to encircle and suppress the underground dark forces; it simply wasn't worth the cost.

Even a slight misstep could lead to their own destruction!

Not to mention other clans, even the Heng clan and the Buddha clan would have to think twice.

After all, the sources of darkness were too terrifying. All signs pointed to the Martial Lunatic as one known source, and the tip of the iceberg that had emerged was enough to make one's scalp tingle.

Therefore, after the Mo family proactively visited and explained the various dangers, many major families in the Yang Realm took action to suppress "Rogue Ji Dade" and the "Strange Dragon"!

"Lie low. Don't take any more action," Old Gu ordered his organization, his face ashen.

He was annoyed and somewhat angry. Being jointly suppressed by a group of top-tier major powers made him feel stifled and greatly displeased.

Chu Feng said, "Ultimately, it's still a matter of our own strength. If I were strong enough, if I evolved to a point where all clans feared me, who would dare to stand out? I'd probably become one of the 'great dark mountains' in their eyes, and they'd be too busy avoiding me to suppress me!"

This change left all parties breathless. The joint efforts of top-tier major powers and the mobilization of the Strange Wilderness clan ultimately forced the dark organizations to declare that they would no longer accept Ji Dade's requests.

Chu Feng's face was grim. The situation was surprisingly severe, like dark clouds pressing down.

"Never mind," Chu Feng said. "Anyway, we're going our separate ways to cultivate ourselves. Let them be. We'll lie low and evolve!"

The three parted ways. As they bid farewell, Chu Feng gave Old Gu and Dong Dahu each a small lump of Samsara Earth for self-preservation.

This was because some organizations in the Yang Realm were too terrifying; for example, they might use the blood of a Human King ancestor for divination to find their tracks.

But with Samsara Earth on them, there was no need to worry; the other party wouldn't be able to divine their whereabouts!

"We left traces, and they found our auras, which is why they could use supreme blood for divination. If they had never found our footsteps or auras, even an ultimate evolver appearing in the world wouldn't be able to do anything!" Old Gu explained the hidden details.

He was very excited and happy. This was soul meat, something his older brother had always yearned for, and he had actually obtained some.

"Good brother, you're the best!" Old Gu patted Chu Feng's shoulder.

Afterward, he also took out some seemingly scrap-metal-like items, distributing them to Chu Feng and Dong Dahu, saying they could save their lives.

Then, the three set off on their separate paths!

As Chu Feng embarked on his life-and-death trials, in various parts of the Yang Realm, some individuals had already begun their own journeys.

In an area resembling a water town from Jiangnan, someone emerged.

"Flowers fall and waters flow. One kind of longing, two places of sorrow... I come from a scholarly family. I am a scholar, but I will cultivate both literary and martial arts. Now, I go to fight for a lifetime of renown!"

This was an elegant young man, fanning himself with a folding fan, appearing quite suave and dashing.

In another place, a silver-haired girl shouted, "I want to evolve! I want to become an immortal!"

Someone looked at her and said, "Ying Xiaoxiao, what are you shouting about?"

In the Yang Realm's Sixth Ancient Clan—the Zhou family—the young girl Xi stepped lightly. She had emerged from seclusion and was going to explore the outside world.

In another territory, countless mountains and dense primeval forests were spread out, with winged serpents lurking and flood dragons soaring, creating a frightening spectacle.

"We are coming out of the mountains! Prehistoric families, supreme lineages—we will hunt them all!"

Several wildmen, like demonic gods, emerged and headed towards the outside world.
