On one side, Chen Mo is still chatting while on the other side, Su Wen has already completely trapped the black-clad man with the nine-snake-and-crawfish lock and ensnarement array.
However, it was seen that nine snake heads opened their blood-filled jaws, tightly biting the limbs and body of the black-clad man, not even his head spared.
At this moment, his body seemed to be frozen, not able to move the slightest bit.
Seeing this scene, Mu Qiuge also knew that the person was about to be captured, and she hastily called her insect back into her body.
And Miao Feiyu, who had just stabbed himself a few times, also finally heaved a sigh of relief. Although he had temporarily subdued the black-clad man with his self-inflicted wounds just now.
However, such a first-class cultivator, with just his curse, is unable to defeat the opponent. He may be fine, but for Chen Mo and others, it's uncertain.
Now, with the intervention of a master at Su Wen's level, he finally no longer has to worry.
"You, you are..."
The black-clad man looked up at Su Wen and immediately had a serious expression on his face, his eyes showing a hint of fear.
Although he said just now when he was talking with Chu Ruomu that even if the hall master of Tianji Pavilion came, he would not be afraid, but that was just his random bragging.
Although both are first-grade cultivators, there are differences in strength within the same grade. For instance, there's the First Elder of the heavens, and there's also the Fire Cloud Sage who was chased and beaten by Zhao Hu just now.
That's like two completely different worlds.
In simple terms, it means that, like the Fire Cloud Sage, he is of the first grade because his talent only reaches the first grade.
And the reason that the First Elder of the heavens is of the first grade is because currently, the strongest among all the nine continents is only a first-grade cultivator.
If the two met, within a single move, the Fire Cloud Sage would lose the battle.
Though the black-clad man boasts about his prowess, it's just a little more than the Fire Cloud Sage. But the master of the Tianji Pavilion is different; she is genuinely among the ranks of the First Elder of the heavens.
And at this moment, standing in front of him, the black-clad man also recognized her identity as Su Wen, the vice-master of the Tianji Pavilion.
Although she is not on the same level as the master of Tianji Pavilion, her strength is far beyond what he can match.
As Su Wen stepped forward a few steps, her foot pressed down on the ground, and suddenly the black mist formation floated up into the air. Countless black gases emanated from beneath the ground, spreading out like a deep chasm, slowly dragging the bound black-clad man in.
"Apparently, you have guessed my identity. However, I am not interested in your identity. As an enemy, let's go to hell. Remember not to choose the wrong side in your next life."
With half of his body already dragged into the ground, Su Wen had no expression on her face, cold and indifferent, as if watching an ant die in front of her.
She slowly turned around, ready to go find Chen Mo to report.
The black-clad man was terrified and shouted for help with all his might. His eyes were filled with terror, but his cry for help did not receive any response.
Only the endless abyss awaited his entrance.
"Lord Chen, the person has been dealt with. The way is now clear for you to go ahead as you please. My task is done here, and it's time for me to report back to the master."
Su Wen spoke with great gravity.
"Okay."
Chen Mo nodded slightly, at the same time, he also wanted to find Zhao Hu who was pursuing the Fire Cloud Sage, not knowing what had become of him.
After bidding farewell to Su Wen, Chen Mo went over to comfort Mu Qiu Ge and Miao Feiyu, the two of them's curses were likely to be reversed.
However, compared to Miao Feiyu's self-injury from his curse, he recovers faster. By now, he has recovered quite a bit.
On the other hand, Mu Qiu Ge was breathing heavily, her breath weak, and her face was streaked with blood.
During that fight, she not only exhausted her spiritual power but also suffered quite a bit of physical pain.
Chen Mo took out medicinal pills for injury and had her swallow them, then let her lie on his back and called everyone to go look for Zhao Hu.
Little bean child pursed her lips, looking somewhat unhappy at the scene. Since Chen Mo's resurrection, she had never been carried like this before.
However, seeing the disheveled appearance of Mu Qiu Ge due to her injury, she couldn't help but keep silent in the end.
"Wait for me."
Watching the departing group, Chu Ruomeng eagerly wanted to chase after them, but Su Wen grabbed her and pulled her back.
"Vice Master, what are you doing? Does the Master have already decided against sending me to protect Lord Chen?"
Chu Ruomeng's expression showed a look of anticipation.
Su Wen shook her head slightly, without speaking, raised her hand and struck a palm on Chu Ruomeng's abdomen.
"Puff."
Chu Ruomeng heavily exhaled a breath, feeling as if she was about to lose her breath, she glared at Su Wen with resentment, and then seemed to have thought of something, quickly pulled up her clothing and looked at her abdomen.
There was an array pattern, the size of a palm, on her abdomen, with clear lines and faintly glowing.
"This... this array is..."
Chu Ruomeng's eyes instantly bulged out, her lips trembling slightly, and her face filled with fear.
Su Wen smiled and stared at Chu Ruomeng, saying, "Yes, just as you guessed, it's the same array that is on both you and your sister."
"Ah?"
Chu Ruomeng immediately exclaimed, her face twisted with frustration and said, "Why, why did you engrave this array on me? I don't want it..."
"You are a second-grade cultivator, but as you saw just now, the journey has been arduous. There might be first-grade cultivators who could be harmful to you again."
"So, the vice-master's meaning is, if you encounter danger, you can use this array to save your life..."
Su Wen was saying when Chu Ruomeng immediately interrupted her, "What? This is definitely a scam from the Master. If she wants me to save my life, she can give me several talismans instead. What does carving an array on my body mean? It's just using it to always possess me and do her wrongful deeds."
"Don't think I don't know, my sister is..."
Chu Ruomeng said, and couldn't help but purse her lips, her eyes filled with resentment.
"This is the Master's command. How dare you disobey?"
Su Wen coldly snorted and said, "I'll leave it at that. Go and do your best to protect Lord Chen. Don't let the Master down."
"Yes..."
Chu Ruomeng replied unwillingly and, with a lost and soulless expression, chased after Chen Mo and the others.
Watching Chu Ruomeng's retreating back, Su Wen sighed with relief and patted her chest as if she had found a scapegoat, a satisfied smile on her face.
"Thank goodness, the array is on her body now, so I don't have to take on the protection duty. Otherwise, if I were to do anything inappropriate with Lord Chen... my reputation as the vice-master of Tianji Pavilion would be tarnished."
