Shocked!
Horrified!
Disbelieving!
Han Mo, who had witnessed the entire process, was overwhelmed with shock.
He knew the "Senior" was strong, but he had never dreamed the "Senior" would be this strong!
Initially, when the "Senior" fought against True Person Cang Mu, the "Senior" displayed the strength of the "Golden Core Perfection Realm," which was shocking but still within the realm of possibility.
But the subsequent events became increasingly fantastical, gradually deviating from reality and becoming magical!
The "Senior" casually cast a spell, and True Person Cang Mu became like a puppet controlled by the "Senior."
Whatever the "Senior" told him to do, he did, more obedient than a dog.
This, this, this…
One must remember that True Person Cang Mu was a great cultivator in the Golden Core Realm!
How difficult would it be to control a great cultivator of the Golden Core Realm? It was simply unimaginable!
A Nascent Soul Ancestor certainly couldn't do it!
At the very least, it would require a super-powerful being in the "Nascent Soul Separation Realm"!
Could it be that the "Senior" was a super-powerful being in the "Nascent Soul Separation Realm"?
Yes, it must be!
The more Han Mo thought about it, the more convinced he became!
He vaguely recalled seeing a faint golden light shine on Hao Ren's forehead. Wasn't that the "divine sense power," the signature power of the "Nascent Soul Separation Realm"?
Holy cow!
The "Senior" was indeed a super-powerful being in the "Nascent Soul Separation Realm"!
Han Mo's shock knew no bounds!
Too awesome!
The Senior was simply too awesome!
[Ding! Congratulations to the host, your friend "Han Mo" has increased his favorability towards you by 1,000,000. Current favorability: Five Stars (Life-and-Death Comrade)]
[Ding! Your friend is currently lamenting in his heart: The Senior is so strong, I must become the Senior's disciple, I must, I must...]
...
Hao Ren glanced at Han Mo kneeling not far away, his mouth twitched.
Han Mo's determination to become a disciple was growing stronger. What should he do about this?
Should he just take him in?
Bah!
No, absolutely not!
It's not like he's collecting a harem, where he can just take anyone he wants.
Taking disciples is troublesome. Nope, no way!
Hao Ren ordered True Person Cang Mu to go undercover in the "Star Constellation Sword Alliance," and then he ignored Han Mo's eager gaze and returned to the cave.
Han Mo watched his attempt to become a disciple fail again, and a flicker of disappointment rose in his heart. However, he quickly dispelled it.
It must be that my sincerity is not enough. I need to try harder…
A resolute divine light blazed in Han Mo's eyes.
I believe I will definitely move the "Senior" in the end!
...
True Person Cang Mu left Hao Ren's mountain peak and, flying on his sword, soon arrived at the "Star Constellation Sword Alliance" stronghold.
At this moment, the entire "Star Constellation Sword Alliance" was mobilized, with clanging weapons and a murderous aura.
Leading the charge were True Person Qing Jiao and True Person Qing Long, who were rallying the cultivators and preparing to attack Hao Ren's cave.
Since they had found the Yun family's "mysterious backer," they couldn't miss this opportunity. They had to kill the opponent.
Just as the stronghold was preparing for battle, True Person Cang Mu's sword light descended from the sky. He had returned.
True Person Cang Mu's return surprised True Person Qing Jiao and the others.
"Cang Mu, why are you back?"
True Person Cang Mu was incredibly anxious, roaring silently in his heart.
Sect Master, be careful, be careful! The Yun family's backer is very strange and very powerful. He controls the "Sword Slave Restraint." We must find a way to kill him!
Alas…
These words could only be thought by True Person Cang Mu; he couldn't speak them.
The power of the "Sword Slave Restraint" was too formidable.
What True Person Qing Jiao and the others saw was True Person Cang Mu's gentle smile.
True Person Cang Mu smiled and said.
"Sect Master, I have not failed my mission. I have successfully slain the Dragon Rider!"
True Person Qing Jiao was stunned.
"Dragon Rider?"
Who is the Dragon Rider?
He had never heard of such a person!
And the name sounded unreliable, like a fake!
True Person Cang Mu smiled and explained.
"The Dragon Rider is the mysterious backer behind the Yun family. Heh heh, just a mere Golden Core cultivator, too weak, I slew him!"
Oh, so the "mysterious backer" behind the Yun family was called "Dragon Rider"!
...
Inside a certain cave.
A shifty fellow was monitoring the movements of True Person Cang Mu, True Person Qing Jiao, and the others.
It was like watching a live broadcast. Their every word and deed was broadcasted in text by the system.
The shifty fellow "hehehe" laughed.
"When traveling the martial world, one must use an alternate account. This humble Taoist's alternate account is Dragon Rider!"
At this moment, Xiao Long Nü, who was beside him, asked in confusion.
"Master, Master, why did you give yourself the nickname 'Dragon Rider'?"
The shifty fellow looked deeply at Xiao Long Nü and smiled.
"Hehehe, it's a beautiful and simple wish."
...
"Star Constellation Sword Alliance" stronghold.
True Person Qing Long fanned himself, suspicion flickering in his eyes as he scrutinized True Person Cang Mu.
"Cang Mu, is what you're saying true? Did you, by yourself, kill the Yun family's mysterious backer?"
True Person Cang Mu smiled and said.
"That person had no real skills, just a swindler and deceiver. I fought him for three hundred rounds and successfully killed him!"
True Person Qing Long frowned, a sharp glint in his eyes.
As a strategist with the wisdom of "Crouching Dragon and Young Phoenix," True Person Qing Long instinctively felt something was amiss.
However, he couldn't pinpoint what was wrong.
Could it be that True Person Cang Mu had defected?
As soon as this thought arose, True Person Qing Long smiled and shook his head, finding it absurd.
True Person Cang Mu was the absolute core of the "Cultivation Sword Alliance." His ancestors founded the "Star Constellation Sword Alliance" together with True Person Qing Long's ancestors. True Person Cang Mu's loyalty was countless times greater than that of later joiners like True Person Qing Bao.
True Person Cang Mu would never defect!
Absolutely not!
Although the matter was somewhat peculiar, True Person Qing Long still believed True Person Cang Mu's words.
[Ding! Congratulations to the host, "True Person Qing Jiao" believes you are dead. His hatred towards you has disappeared, and his hatred value is zero. He has been removed from your "Enemy List."]

...
Inside a certain cave.
Hao Ren "hehehe" laughed.
I'm such a "clever one." With a little trick, those idiots from the "Star Constellation Sword Alliance" no longer hate me!
Wait, hold on…
Hao Ren suddenly realized a serious problem.
Since True Person Qing Jiao and the others were no longer his enemies, they had no more interaction with Hao Ren. Hao Ren could no longer check their attributes or view their "dynamic messages" in the future.
This is a disaster!
This way, Hao Ren wouldn't be able to cast "curses" on them!
Hao Ren hadn't memorized these guys' "birth dates"!
彡(—＿—;）彡
Hao Ren was dejected.
Could it be that the guys from the "Star Constellation Sword Alliance" were not fated to die?
