Troubled times: Start practicing spiritual practice by taking care of your sister-in-law.

The Tianyu Clan did treat the lower classes well. Based on the information on the wooden sign, Chen Mo and Xu Nianzhen thought they would be arranged to live in a place similar to a "large dormitory". However, it turned out to be a large courtyard. Although many people lived in one large courtyard, at least they had their own space, even though Chen Mo and Xu Nianzhen shared a room.

"You sleep on the bed, I'll just make do with a makeshift bed on the floor," Chen Mo said.

“Okay.” Xu Nianzhen nodded, not standing on ceremony with Chen Mo. Although the two were sworn brothers, men and women were different and it was impossible for them to sleep in the same bed.

After Chen Mo made his bed on the floor, he wanted to transform back into his original form. His current appearance was really uncomfortable, and walking was very awkward. Even Xu Nianzhen, who was as beautiful as a fairy, could not arouse any lust in him at this moment.

"Wait a minute." Xu Nianzhen was familiar with array formations and restrictions. After setting up some arrays in the room to isolate auras and detect threats, she said, "It's ready."

Chen Mo immediately transformed back into his human form, feeling much better. He looked at Xu Nianzhen and asked, "Aren't you going to turn back?"

Xu Nianzhen shook her head: "I will protect you first. Besides, there are people on both sides of the side. Someone has to take care of things outside. Moreover, I need to imitate the aura of the Tianyu Clan. Our appearance is too different from theirs. Even if we change our appearance, we will most likely be recognized if we encounter a strong member of their clan."

"Imitating aura?" Chen Mo was taken aback.

“When Wen Mengyao cut down the Vine Tree, she obtained the secret techniques and supernatural powers of the Heavenly Demon Tree Clan, which she shared with me. I’ve grasped a little bit of it, and I hope it will come in handy,” Xu Nianzhen said.

"Thank you for your help, Fairy Nianzhen." Chen Mo felt that Xu Nianzhen was right. They couldn't both be treated and recovered at the same time. One of them had to keep an eye on the outside to prevent anyone from coming to their door.

"Hurry up."

Xu Nianzhen said.

Their time is limited.

Chen Mo nodded, took out Bai Yao's inner core, and swallowed it in one gulp.

Feeling the violent energy raging within his body, Chen Mo quickly activated the Golden Crow Blazing Heaven Technique and the Gluttonous Devouring Technique to refine it.

As his flesh and bones gradually absorbed the energy from the inner core, much like parched earth receiving nourishment from sweet rain, Chen Mo's body gradually regained its vitality and essence.

The time soon came to night.

Chen Mo opened his eyes and felt that he had almost recovered.

Just then, Xu Nianzhen walked into the room and said some things to him.

During the time Chen Mo was recovering, Xu Nianzhen subtly and quietly discussed history and current events with the Tianyu Clan, obtaining a great deal of valuable information.

This world has many races, but the one that rules this world is the Star Beetle Race.

Just yesterday, the Star Crystal Insect Clan, a vassal of the Star Beetle Clan and also possessing Star Beetle blood, was annihilated by extraterrestrial beings. The Star Crystal Essence that the Star Crystal Insect Clan provided to the Star Beetle Clan's royal family was also plundered by these extraterrestrial beings.

Upon receiving the news, the Star Beetle Clan immediately issued an order, commanding all living beings within their territory to exterminate the extraterrestrial beings.

Yesterday afternoon, the elite forces of the Star Beetle Clan surrounded these extraterrestrial beings, but unfortunately, they escaped.

Furthermore, last night, several major cities behind the Star Beetle Clan were massacred by extraterrestrial beings, with no survivors.

At the same time, several vassal forces under the Star Beetle Clan, including the Skyfeather Clan, were also massacred by extraterrestrial beings, suffering heavy casualties.

In the eyes of the Tianyu Clan, Chen Mo and these extraterrestrial beings were demons, invaders, and enemies.

Chen Mo was stunned as he listened to Xu Nianzhen's words.

The star beetles must be the swarm that attacked them yesterday.

The Star Crystal Insects were likely the mineral creatures that were slaughtered by the Frost Serpent.

What's the story behind the massacre of the Star Beetles' rear cities?

These contestants came here to compete for each other's Star Tokens. Who would be so bored and waste their time slaughtering primitive creatures in a city if there was no need for it?
The Frost Serpent annihilated the Star Crystal Insect Clan for Star Crystal Stones and Star Crystal Liquid.

Then what was the purpose of slaughtering the Star Beetles?
Could star beetles also produce star crystal liquid?
If that's the case, then what was the purpose of massacring the Tianyu Clan?
Just as Chen Mo was pondering, Xu Nianzhen told him about a serious crisis.

The Star Beetles have begun mobilizing all forces in this world to launch a massacre against extraterrestrial beings.

This swarm was much larger than the insect swarms Chen Mo had encountered before, leaving them no chance to escape.

However, after saying that, Xu Nianzhen told Chen Mo not to worry about that. With so many powerful figures watching from the outside, if the contestants encountered a danger that they couldn't handle and that could lead to their complete annihilation, these powerful figures would definitely not stand idly by.

To the powerful outsiders, the Star Beetles' resistance was nothing more than a mayfly trying to shake a tree.

After listening to what Xu Nianzhen said, Chen Mo suddenly felt some sympathy for these primitive creatures.

They were living peacefully, without offending anyone, when their planet was suddenly dragged from space into another planet by a giant hand. Not only were they completely suppressed, but they were also invaded and massacred.
From another perspective, the massacre launched by the Star Beetles, mobilizing all forces in the world to carry out against them, was not really a massacre, but rather a form of resistance.

Ultimately, weakness is the original sin.

Chen Mo quickly dispelled the pity in his heart. After all, he had grown up in the lower class, and being compassionate was not in his nature.

"It's your turn. I'll protect you tonight." Chen Mo has recovered enough; it's Xu Nianzhen's turn now.

Xu Nianzhen shook her head: "No one should bother us tonight. Just be more careful. We can treat and recover together."

Chen Mo nodded: "That's true."

It was late and quiet on Chen Mo's side, but it was quite lively on the other side.

Following the guidance of the Star Token, Luo Cang, Dugu Wu, and their group, including those from the Bitter Sea and the Immortal Sect, arrived at a city.

At first, they also thought it was just a trap, believing that only the Star Token was there and that Chen Mo himself had already left.

However, some people believe that Chen Mo deliberately made them think that this place was a trap, so that they dared not go in, while he was actually hiding inside.

However, this point was quickly rejected by Fa'er. He took out the Arhat Relic, but the relic had not yet lit up, indicating that Chen Mo was not in the city.

However, some members of the Immortal Cult coveted the points from Chen Mo's Star Token and sophistry argued that Fa'er's relic could not be isolated from Chen Mo's methods. They insisted on entering the city to investigate, claiming that the primitive creatures in the city were of average strength and could not threaten them. Moreover, they had a large number of people and were not afraid of traps.

In fact, it was indeed a trap.

They experienced a great battle with primitive creatures.

With a dazzling record of zero deaths and countless kills, they took the Star Token left behind by Chen Mo.

"Amitabha." Fa'er looked down at the countless primordial creatures that had died below, closed his eyes, and twirled the prayer beads in his hand, praying for their salvation.

Yuanjing, standing to the side, said, "Master is right. The remnants of the spirit mediums are the source of the calamity. The calamity in this city tonight was brought by Chen Mo. If we don't convert him as soon as possible, who knows how many innocent lives will be lost because of him."

"Amitabha." The other monks in the sea of ​​suffering all looked on with sympathy and sighed as they uttered the Buddhist words.

Dugu Wu's lips twitched slightly. Although it was indeed Chen Mo who brought this, he admired Ku Hai's behavior of pushing all the responsibility onto the other party and not taking any responsibility himself.

……

Overnight passed.

In the room.

On the bed and on the floor.

Xu Nianzhen and Chen Mo opened their eyes at the same time. The former saw a glint of light flashing in the latter's eyes and exclaimed in surprise, "You recovered so quickly. It hasn't been long, but I feel that you have already recovered to your peak."

"I was just depleted of my spiritual energy, so I recovered quickly. Besides, I'm a body cultivator, so consuming Bai Yao's inner core isn't surprising." Chen Mo then asked Xu Nianzhen, "What about you?"

“When I fought Murong Niu, I injured my source energy. Although the injury has healed, my source energy still needs to recover slowly,” Xu Nianzhen said.

"I also have the inner core of the White Jade Tiger, which can help you restore your original nature."

The inner core is the source of a demon beast's blood and energy, and it has a miraculous effect on restoring one's original nature. Chen Mo destroyed the contestants sent in by the White Jade Tiger Clan, and the inner cores he has are not just those of Bai Po and Bai Yao.

Chen Mo took out the remaining white jade tiger inner core and handed it to Xu Nianzhen.

He felt apologetic; he should have realized it last night and given her the inner core.

Xu Nianzhen accepted it; she didn't have the same reservations as Wen Mengyao and the others, and wasn't afraid of getting burned.

"Now, you really will have to protect me." Xu Nianzhen chuckled.

"With me here, I'll keep you safe and sound," Chen Mo assured him, patting his chest.

But the words had just been said.

"boom!"

A sound came from outside, like waves crashing against the sky.

And there was also a sinister, chilling voice that echoed throughout the heavens and earth, and it was quite frightening.

"Ku Hai and the others have come looking for us?" Xu Nianzhen frowned, assuming it was Fa Er and the others who had come looking for us.

"Go out and take a look." Chen Mo's expression was solemn, and he also thought so; they had acted too quickly and found them.

As soon as she transformed into the appearance of a Celestial Feather Clan member and opened the door, a Celestial Feather Clan woman appeared before Xu Nianzhen. The woman had spoken with Xu Nianzhen the day before yesterday; she was a widow with a child, whose husband had died at the hands of extraterrestrial beings the day before yesterday. At this moment, she said with a pale face, "Sister, the extraterrestrial demons have attacked. What should we do?"

"An extraterrestrial demon?" Chen Mo's forehead creased with disbelief.

It seems these primitive creatures have given these extraterrestrial beings quite a few names.

"What are you afraid of? With the city defense army here, do you think these demons can break in?" Before Xu Nianzhen could speak, a burly Tianyu clansman, whose physique was clearly stronger than the others, said.

This man was a big guy who also lived in this courtyard, and he was three times the size of Chen Mo in his human form.

However, as soon as he finished speaking, the originally bright sky was instantly covered by dark clouds and became gloomy.

"Hehehe, what delicious blood food."

A chilling, eerie laugh echoed throughout the city.

Chen Mo looked up in the direction the sound came from and saw a blood-red figure standing proudly high in the sky, looking down on everyone in the city. (End of Chapter)
