As for the suspicions surrounding the Luo brothers, they went to extend their apologies to the Qin and Dong families with generous gifts a long time ago, right after the deaths of Qin Shi and Dong Yu. They were chaperoned by their elders.
Their sincerity was profound: they regretted not being able to protect the two girls!
Moreover, both Luo Ying and Luo Ning were "severely injured".
How they got their injuries, only they knew.
So from the beginning, neither the Qin nor the Dong families ever suspected that the whole incident was orchestrated by the Luo brothers. Almost simultaneously, these two major clans of the Heavenly Realm targeted a boy from the Mortal Realm, and by extension... the Realm Spirit backing him!
Holding the Realm Spirit accountable might seem baffled, but after contacting several major families, the Qin, Dong, and even the 'helping' Luo's did just that!
The Spirit Realm needs elite talents from different worlds to maintain its operation. Reaping resources they also have many treasures unavailable to outsiders. You can say, the Spirit Realm and foreigners have a mutually beneficial relationship.
If a significant trust crisis occurs, even the Realm Spirit wouldn't bear such responsibility.
So combining forces with the mighty clans from Heavenly Realm, the Qin and Dong families pressured the Realm Spirit to hand over Qin Shi and Dong Yu along with that boy from the Mortal realm.
Of course, the Realm Spirit would not agree. Forget Chu Mo, even Qin Shi and Dong Yu, Realm Spirit would not bail on them.
The Realm Spirit is not merely a rule personification, he has true intelligence and understands human hearts. He is very clear. If Qin Shi and Dong Yu were to be returned, maybe nothing would happen initially. But as these two girls have significant connections with Chu Mo, handing them over would lead to Chu Mo being suppressed directly by Qin and Dong families eventually when he shows any evidence over the influence of interest, even without Luo's involvement!
After all, almost everyone would choose a grand clan of the Heavenly Realm over a teenager from the Mortal Realm when given the choice.
So the Realm Spirit was determined not to hand Qin Shi and Dong Yu over to their families.
This disagreement escalated. The Qin and Dong families couldn't do anything to the Realm Spirit, but they began spreading the word about the loopholes in the rules of the Spirit Realm. The entire Spirit Realm was filled with the chaotic uproar.
Many people suspect that the plight of Qin Shi and Dong Yu couldn't possibly be orchestrated solely by the kid from the Mortal Realm, he wouldn't be capable! There might be the Realm Spirit's help behind this.
Conspiracy theories always find buyers.
The whole Spirit Realm was in an uproarious state.
Almost everyone was accusing the Realm Spirit.
Every individual who could enter the Spirit Realm as a prodigy, why should a lad from the Mortal Realm get special treatment from the Realm Spirit?
This led to the excavation of the Realm Spirit temporarily changing the rules to favor Chu Mo.
"Those under Foundation Establishment are naturally protected..."
This rule became an important piece of evidence for many people accusing the Realm Spirit of favoritism.
But Realm Spirit stood his ground, turning a deaf ear!
The Heavenly Realm's clans didn't have a way around this and could not penetrate the Chu palace. For reasons unknown, no matter how they persuaded, Qin Shi and Dong Yu refused to leave the Chu palace.
Even the patriarch of the Qin family appeared personally, spoke with Qin Shi for a long time, and in the end walked away with a gloamy face.
Not much time has passed since this incident, and it is still fermenting. The reason Realm Spirit cut off Chu Mo and Yiniang's access to the Spirit Realm was mainly to avoid them from rushing in without knowing the full story and getting hurt!
The probability of such a situation happening was high.
Hence, Realm Spirit used means to contact Phecda.
The Tianji Clan has a divine ability which even Phecda is not clear of. But the Realm Spirit knows.
No matter how far, they can contact it using a secret method!
Realm Spirit called Phecda into the Spirit Realm and handed him the bronze token. The entire incident's details were sealed within this bronze token, which can be only ventured by Chu Mo's bloodline.
Chu Mo could clearly feel the anger of the Realm Spirit. As the overseer of the Spirit Realm's rules, he was being questioned . Although the Realm Spirit indeed violated a lot of rules, the impact on others wasn't significant.
Furthermore, even if there were significant impacts, the Realm Spirit wouldn't care, as he views the entire Spirit Realm as Chu Mo's property!
In his eyes, everyone else was like an ungracious guest in someone else's home!
The Realm Spirit informed Chu Mo that he left a very good thing for him in the Spirit Realm, along with the material for the perfect Foundation Establishment!
Chu Mo just needs to go and fetch them when he has time.
"Kid, this time, make sure to do me proud! I have left the specific locations of the Five Elements' Earth, Fire, Metal, and Wood here. Using resources that have been accumulated over tens of thousands of years in the Spirit Realm, I have prepared for you the materials for a perfect Foundation Establishment! There are also materials for setting up the Taoist Foundation of the Five Elements, excluding the Five Elements itself! Let them see how favoritism works! Besides these, there is also a valuable item, which you will know about after seeing it. Remember, no one should know about that identity! You can do a lot with it, but it can only be used in the Spirit Realm."
After getting to know what happened, Chu Mo's face gradually calmed down.
Qin Shi and Dong Yu were still under the protection of the Realm Spirit, and Chu Palace was not taken down yet!
The Realm Spirit transmitted to him a new mnemonic. When the time comes, he can use this mnemonic to enter the Spirit Realm and fetch those things the Realm Spirit left for him.
As soon as he obtains other Four Elements besides the Water element in Five Elements; he can ascend to the Spirit Realm at any moment to establish the Taoist Foundation of the Five Elements!
You have to say, the Realm Spirit really stepped up this time: these resources, even top clans in the Heavenly Realm wouldn't just fetch out easily, let alone this level of support. Probably even parents would not dare to go to this extent.
"Realm Spirit, thank you!" muttered Chu Mo in his heart.
Then he tucked the bronze token away, glanced at Phecda, and said to Shen Aobing and others, "We need to hurry up, find all survivors, and then kill Li Zhu!"
Shen Aobing, Yiniang, and Xingxue were all a bit taken aback.
Chu Mo said coldly, "Because we have more important things to do!"
