Chapter 360: Emperor Heaven Valley Opens
"Alright!"
Without hesitation, Su Mo raised his hand and launched a gigantic golden fist at the three of them.
True Dragon Venerable Fist!
BOOM!
The golden fist streaked across the sky like an Ancient God's Fist smashing down from the heavens. Even the barrier the Fifth Floor Master had erected with his full power trembled violently.
Everyone turned pale with shock at the sight.
They had never imagined Su Mo would be this powerful.
No wonder Su Mo had offered to fight all nine of them at once.
The Ninth Floor Master shouted in alarm, "Everyone, attack together and block it! Otherwise, the Third Floor Master and the others are dead!"
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
All nine of them unleashed their attacks to intercept the blow.
Hearing the Ninth Floor Master's cry, Su Mo couldn't help but frown.
'They can't block it?'
'Since I used too much force, I should pull some of it back.'
'It wouldn't be good to kill them.'
'After all, I still have to cooperate with the Drunken Immortal Tower later.'
Despite this, all nine of them were still sent flying.
A flush appeared on the Ninth Floor Master's face. He gasped for breath and cried out, "Young Master Su, that's enough! Please, don't attack again!"
Su Mo had seriously injured him with just a single blow.
If he hadn't been strong enough, he feared he would have been smashed into a meat paste by Su Mo.
But the First and Second Floor Masters weren't so lucky.
Having advanced to the Martial Venerable Realm only a few years ago, they were sent flying and coughed up blood on the spot from the force of Su Mo's immense power.
"What a terrifying fist!"
Huang Yanchen stared, dumbfounded, at the Floor Masters who were coughing up blood. She could hardly believe her eyes.
The nine Martial Venerables of the Drunken Immortal Tower couldn't even block a single punch from Su Mo?
Little Tuantuan said excitedly, "Sister Yanchen, I told you Brother Su Mo would win! He's really kind. Kind people are often very strong and like to keep a low profile."
"Little Tuantuan, you're wrong. Your Brother Su Mo isn't strong because he's kind; he's kind because he's strong," Huang Yanchen corrected her.
Truly powerful people are indeed kind, because they can't be bothered to argue with those in lower realms.
And if they do decide to deal with them, they won't waste words—they'll just kill them outright.
As for Luo Yu, Liu Ming, and Gao Qiang, the three of them had long been stunned into silence.
'Is this Su Mo's true power?'
'He's too strong!'
'Absurdly strong!'
Su Mo walked forward and asked with concern, "Ninth Floor Master, are you all alright? It's my fault. I didn't control the force of my attack properly."
"It's not your fault. Our own strength was lacking!"
The Ninth Floor Master said with a bitter smile, "Young Friend Su, to think that the combined strength of all nine of us couldn't even compare to you."
"If only I'd pulled back a little more power just now. Then I wouldn't have made the Third Floor Master and the others cough up blood."
Su Mo looked at the Third Floor Master and the others with a guilty expression.
"Wait!"
The Third Floor Master asked in disbelief, "Did you just say you pulled back your power?"
Su Mo nodded. "I heard the Ninth Floor Master shout that you were going to die, so I quickly pulled back my power. But in the end... I'm sorry, Third Floor Master. I didn't mean to injure you all."
Hearing this, the Third Floor Master froze on the spot.
'He pulled back his power and we still couldn't block it? Doesn't that mean his punch could have killed all of us on the spot?'
'This... Just how terrifying is Su Mo?'
Su Mo said, "I've never fought a Martial Venerable before, so I don't understand the strength of their various realms. That's why I didn't know how to hold back. It won't happen again."
A bitter smile filled the Third Floor Master's face.
He had been unconvinced by Su Mo before, claiming he was a senior expert who didn't want to bully a junior like Su Mo, and had even let him attack first.
In the end, Su Mo had utterly slapped him in the face.
'How ridiculous!'
The Third Floor Master wished he could find a hole to crawl into and hide.
The Ninth Floor Master stabilized his injuries and said, "Young Friend Su, we have now witnessed your immense strength and are willing to cooperate with you. This is the unique identity Jade Token for a Floor Master of our Drunken Immortal Tower. With this, you can enter Emperor Heaven Valley as one of our own."
"I have my own credential."
Su Mo took out the letter he had taken from Li Kun.
This letter was issued by the Purple Cloud Palace, and it was one rank lower than the Drunken Immortal Tower's Floor Master Jade Token.
However, Su Mo didn't mind.
Whether it was a Jade Token or a letter, as long as it got him into Emperor Heaven Valley, it was fine.
Carrying a Floor Master's Jade Token would only attract unnecessary attention.
The Ninth Floor Master was briefly taken aback. "Very well then. Since Young Friend Su has a credential, we won't worry about it. We'll just wait to cooperate."
"They don't have one!"
Su Mo said, pointing to Luo Yu and the others.
The Ninth Floor Master asked, puzzled, "And they are...?"
Su Mo said, "They are disciples of Huangfeng Valley, friends of Huang Yanchen, and also friends of mine. Since we're partners, you'll need to help me look after them a bit inside Emperor Heaven Valley."
"Haha, since they are friends of Young Friend Su, we of the Drunken Immortal Tower would look after them even without your instructions. Men, fetch credentials for them," the Ninth Floor Master ordered.
Soon, the Third Floor Master returned with credentials for Luo Yu and the other three.
The four of them nearly died from excitement.
They never dreamed that the credentials they had been trying so desperately to obtain could be secured by Su Mo with a single sentence. He had even saved them more than a dozen Tier Six Spiritual Medicines.
Holding her credential, Little Tuantuan said, "Thank you, Brother Su Mo!"
"Do your best!"
Su Mo ruffled Little Tuantuan's hair.
「Meanwhile.」
At a certain stronghold of the Purple Cloud Palace, Fu Tianbo was crying to the Purple Cloud Palace Master, "Master, you have to stand up for me! The Fifth Floor Master of the Drunken Immortal Tower colluded with outsiders to humiliate your disciple!"
"Outsiders?"
The Purple Cloud Palace Master frowned.
Fu Tianbo nodded. "Your disciple has investigated. Those outsiders are friends of Huang Yanchen. Four of them are from Huangfeng Valley, and the other is a Loose Cultivator with no background."
"Loose Cultivators from Huangfeng Valley?"
The Purple Cloud Palace Master's face was filled with disdain.
'To think the Drunken Immortal Tower would stoop to befriending a minor power like Huangfeng Valley and fawning over a Loose Cultivator. They're truly becoming more and more degenerate.'
'No wonder the Drunken Immortal Tower is in decline.'
The Purple Cloud Palace Master said, "Rest assured. After Emperor Heaven Valley opens, I will personally deal with the Fifth Floor Master and teach him a lesson."
"Thank you, Master!"
Fu Tianbo asked with pleasant surprise, "And Huang Yanchen...?"
The Purple Cloud Palace Master said coolly, "You don't need to worry about Huang Yanchen either. Once you obtain the Martial Emperor's Legacy and become a Martial Emperor, will you still need to fear that she won't fall for you?"
Only then did Fu Tianbo nod.
The Purple Cloud Palace Master instructed, "For the next half a day, just stay by my side. Don't show your face outside. I need to ensure that Emperor Heaven Valley opens."
"Yes!"
Fu Tianbo obediently agreed.
He knew full well that showing his face outside now would do him no good. If he completely offended Huang Yanchen, it would delay the opening of Emperor Heaven Valley.
After all, Emperor Heaven Valley could only be opened by the Nine Great Forces working together.
'Huang Yanchen, you bitch, just you wait! Once Emperor Heaven Valley opens, I won't put up with you anymore. I'll conquer you even if I have to use force, and make you kneel before me and serve me well!'
Su Mo was also waiting for Emperor Heaven Valley to open.
「Half a day later.」
The Ninth Floor Master and the others led Su Mo to the entrance of Emperor Heaven Valley.
On the way, Su Mo instructed, "Ninth Floor Master, my identity needs to remain a secret for now. Don't reveal it before Emperor Heaven Valley opens. After it opens, you can say whatever you want."
