……

  The young man outside the courtyard was Chen Xuan, the eldest son of the head of the Chen family. He had a heroic and upright air about him. This time he came hastily because he heard that Chen Ye's death had led to Xu Hao recruiting a group of outsiders to take revenge on the Chen Miao family by relying on his power and intimidating them.

  He rushed to the rescue, hoping to win favor with Helian Huowu, who was outstanding in both talent and appearance. But what he didn't expect was that he saw such a stunning scene - Chen Mo, who had always been considered a waste by his family, suddenly unleashed his divine power and swept across all directions. It was truly refreshing and satisfying to see the seamless cooperation between the two siblings, making him envious of their tacit understanding, which must have taken many years of daily interaction and mutual trust to achieve.

  Chen Mo furrowed his brow, looking at Chen Xuan with an unfriendly expression as he walked slowly into the outer courtyard. Chen Xuan, a genius in the family with extraordinary talent and stunning appearance, was only slightly older than himself, yet had already reached the pinnacle of Lingtu's high-ranking cultivation, the most dazzling existence in the family, and the treasure of the family's elders.

  Although he is the son of the patriarch, on the path of cultivation, he has been diligent and hardworking, and with many unique resources, his progress in cultivation has been astonishing. Now, he is only one step away from becoming a Spiritual Master, and everyone considers him to be the future successor of the family's patriarch and the hope for the family's revival.

  "Chen Mo, I didn't expect that after three days of separation, we would meet again like this. It seems I was worried for nothing." Chen Xuan's face was full of surprise and a sincere smile. His servant, Chen Shu, followed closely behind him with a respectful expression.

  Chen Mo had neither a good nor bad impression of this person. The fellow with the golden spoon in his mouth was being overly obsequious, definitely not having good intentions. After all, he was the young master of the Chen family and couldn't afford to offend him, so he coldly said: "Young Patriarch, what brings you here?"

  He Lianhuo walked out with a gentle smile, saw Chen Xuanyu's servant, and revealed a faint smile, slightly nodding his head, with a hint of estrangement in his politeness.

  "Chen Mo, to mention it, you are a few months younger than me, my junior brother." Chen Xuan was slightly stunned, his expression somewhat embarrassed, and hastily explained: "Don't misunderstand, I'm here to help."

  He Lian Huo's eyebrows slightly raised, her eyes clear and bright like a serene lake, sparkling with ripples. With a puzzled expression, she asked: "Young Clan Leader, you want to help us?" They had killed so many people within the clan, even if they were in the right, it would be hard to justify, Chen Mo had just returned, couldn't afford to stir up more trouble, with Chen Xuan's help, there would be less hassle.

  "It's just a small effort, Miss He Lian, don't decline." Chen Xuan's mouth corners slightly rose, his eyes hid deep admiration, taking advantage of the conversation, he carefully carved out He Lian's Huo Wu dance figure in his mind, and at the same time, he secretly made up his mind.

  Not waiting for Chen Mo to speak, he turned his head towards Ah Bian and nodded slightly.

  "Chen Xuan, I'll handle it myself, don't bother." Chen Mo couldn't help but think that Chen Xuan looked shifty and suspicious, his eyes always fixed on Wu Er, which made him feel uneasy: "Wu Er, don't let others... uh."

  In the blink of an eye, black smoke rose, and Xu Hao's body emitted a sizzling sound as his flesh rapidly rotted. Before long, it turned into dark powder, which was blown away by the wind, dispersing in all directions. Except for the bloodstains on the ground, there were no other traces left. In the courtyard, Uncle Chen held a bottle and quickly sprinkled 'Corpse Dissolving Powder' over each of the bodies.

  He Lianhuo's eyes widened with excitement, and she smiled brightly as she grasped Chen Mo's arm, coquettishly saying: "Second Brother, this is great, one effort for eternal peace."

  Seemingly sensing Chen Mo's slight displeasure, He Lian Huo Wu coquettishly shook his arm and said in a low voice: "Second Brother, let's not mind the temporary anger." As he spoke, his eyes held a hint of pleading.

  Chen Mo understood that the dancer didn't want to bring trouble to his family again. A man should not be timid and hesitant, losing his grandeur and magnanimity. Chen Xuan nodded in appreciation: "Thank you for your kindness, I accept it and will remember it in my heart. When the opportunity arises, I will definitely repay you." With a sense of satisfaction and gratitude, his heroic spirit soared.

  "Alright." Chen Xuan also didn't pretend, and straightforwardly accepted Chen Mo's suggestion. He glanced at Helian Huowu who was intimately holding his arm, seemingly thinking that the siblings were too close for comfort. Chen Xuan rubbed his nose, feeling a slight pang of discomfort in his heart.

  That Uncle Chen quickly handled the matter and stood behind Chen Xuan with his hands clasped together.

  "I'll take my leave then. Chen Mo, don't worry, this whole thing is the doing of those wicked slaves, you can't be blamed for it. If the three elders are not satisfied, I will personally explain everything to Father." Chen Xuan saw that things had calmed down and he couldn't stay there with a clear conscience, so he bid farewell with a bow. As he was leaving, his gaze lingered on He Lian Huo Wu's delicate figure, and he clenched his fist silently, his determination growing stronger by the minute.

  The first battle was won, but Chen Mo's heart didn't have a single thread of excitement. He knew his own strength and that it wasn't enough to protect his family yet. Even the strength of Chen Xuan from earlier couldn't be underestimated. For now, he wasn't a match for him, and there was also Chen De Shui lurking in the shadows, staring at him with venomous eyes. He had to seize every moment to cultivate.

  But Chen Mo firmly believed that with the Radiant God Tree within him, he would definitely be able to surpass him.

  The brother and sister chatted with their family for a while, then cleaned up the messy courtyard.

  Hu Lingping quickly prepared the washing utensils, a coarse towel and basin, a bowl of clear water, and silently helped Chen Mo wipe away the bloodstains with her head down. Her heart was filled with reluctance and pain, and her eyes were brimming with tears, but she was afraid that the children would worry, so she gritted her teeth and refused to let the tears fall.

  "Let me do it myself." Chen Mo snatched the basin and turned around to press Hu Lingping into a chair.

  The strong mother managed this household, working hard for her three siblings, worrying about everything, and now there is a hint of silver in her temples.

  If it weren't for his own misdeeds, Eldest Brother's natural talents wouldn't have ended up in such a wretched state. With a heavy heart, he secretly made a vow: he must cure Eldest Brother and restore him to his former self; he must make that woman who dared to bring her lover to the door and ask for a divorce regret her actions.

  After treating his wound, Chen Mo returned to his room and sat down to meditate. The Bright Void Aura was indeed extraordinary, with its intense rays of light illuminating everything, a powerful and pure force that perfectly matched the intent of the Vajra Fist.

  This is only the first level of the Great Brightness Divine Technique, and its grade is only equivalent to that of a lower-grade mortal technique, yet it has such great power. Chen Mo couldn't help but imagine himself cultivating to the second level, third level, killing all around him with ease, and being majestic and powerful, his face unable to conceal his pride.

  In an instant, Chen Mo's face turned gloomy, his mouth pursed in frustration. To upgrade the Great Brightness Divine Technique to the next level, he needed to merge and absorb other main cultivation techniques. But now, he was penniless, with only the Green Wood Technique at hand, and no way to upgrade for the time being.

  Apart from this, the tender shoots growing in the sea of consciousness are also excellent. In today's fierce battles, if not for the help of green liquid, relying solely on one's own Great Brightness Mantra and Vajra Fist, how could one emerge victorious? Similarly, this is a big consumer of resources, and if it is not taken care of properly, don't expect it to produce green liquid in the future.

  Thinking of this, Chen Mo's eyebrows furrowed even more tightly, and he muttered to himself, "It's really true that the children of poor people have to grow up early. I must think of a way to make money. If only I had such an opportunity, the problems before me would no longer be problems."

  In a daze, that dream, the tender shoots of the future will grow into towering trees, bearing radiant angels, but I don't know if it's real or just my own mumbling.

  Chen Mo returned to the sea of consciousness once again, today's tender shoots' green liquid was squeezed out again, at this time, it had withered and wilted, its leaves a dull greyish-green, without any luster.

  Chen Mo felt a hint of fear in his heart, if this tender sapling were to wither and die, he would be left with nothing but tears. Chen Mo didn't dare to delay, he activated the Bright Light Divine Technique, attempting to use the Bright Light Mysterious Energy to nourish the tender sapling.

  Suddenly, the withered and lifeless tender shoot was like a cat smelling fishy smell, **came to life. Like a starving beast, it frantically devoured the bright Xuan Qi in front of it.

  The brilliance of the three-week-old light essence was quickly drained by the tender shoots, and the stems and leaves of the tender shoots only became slightly firmer. But to recover their former vitality, it's likely that even more brilliant essence is needed. Chen Mo couldn't help but gasp in amazement - this miraculous green liquid was absolutely not an inexhaustible resource, every drop was precious.

  If you want it to play a greater role, you should let it have the opportunity to grow stronger.

  Several days later, Chen Mo's injuries had been treated and were no longer a problem. The tender shoot also continued to absorb everything, like a dehydrated fish, and all the radiant primordial energy that had been cultivated during this period fell into its mouth, finally restoring its vitality.

  He got out of bed and went to his elder brother Chen Hua's room. After some casual conversation, Chen Mo made his intentions clear.

  Chen Hao's eyes dimmed, and he let out a sigh. "Second brother, I know you care about me and are trying your best to cure me. But my injuries are severe, and it's hard for me to recover. Second brother, promise big brother that from now on, you won't take risks for my sake, okay?"

  "Uh-huh, I got it." Chen Mo nodded repeatedly in response. Then, with a face full of expectation, he said: "But this time, let me try, okay? I had some strange encounters in the Small Sky Cave. Maybe something miraculous will happen?"

  Chen Hao looked at his brother's excited face and couldn't bear to disappoint him, so he nodded reluctantly.

  Chen Mo's face was solemn, carefully examining the injuries of his big brother. His big brother had two injuries: first, his dantian was broken; second, the meridians in both legs were severed and completely paralyzed, unable to even stand up.

  The Qi Hai being abandoned is a big problem, this time Chen Mo wants to try if he can make his brother stand up. Although the old lady has been carefully massaging, the calf with the severed meridian has already shown severe muscle atrophy. The situation does not look optimistic.

  Taking a deep breath, Chen Mo came to the sea of consciousness and asked for green liquid from Xiao Nianzhu. Having eaten well and drunk enough in the past few days, Xiao Nianzhu was in a great mood, shaking its small green leaves back and forth, and after a moment of flirting, it honestly dripped out a drop of green liquid.

  The bright and mysterious energy urged on, that one drop of green liquid transformed into a cluster of green mist, like a group of green elves in the forest, following Chen Mo's hands which were placed on his body's meridians, flowing thread by thread into his legs.
