Chapter 365: Breaking a Leg
Upon hearing this, Huang Yanchen shook her head.
This wasn’t just a slap in the face for one person, but for everyone.
You could say Su Mo had viciously slapped everyone present with a single finger.
"Su Xiaoyou might be a Saint-tier Array Master,"
the Fifth Floor Master speculated.
The Ninth Floor Master said in shock, "That’s impossible, right? Aren’t Saint-tier Array Masters only found in legends? Even the major Sacred Lands don’t have anyone of that level."
"It’s true that the major Sacred Lands don’t have any Saint-tier Array Masters, but that doesn’t mean Su Xiaoyou isn’t one," the Fifth Floor Master insisted.
The Ninth Floor Master sucked in a sharp breath.
’No wonder Su Mo broke the Ancient Stele’s seal so easily. It turns out he’s a Saint-tier Array Master.’
’If the Sacred Lands found out, they would probably fight tooth and nail to invite Su Mo to join them.’
Luo Fenghua was also stunned.
He knew full well how difficult it was to break the seal on the Ancient Stele.
To think Su Mo had broken it so effortlessly.
Still, this worked out perfectly for the Purple Cloud Palace.
Luo Fenghua turned to Fu Tianbo and said, "Tianbo, you wanted to kill that brat, didn’t you? Once we’re inside, tail him. I want him dead."
’Su Mo must die!’
’The skill in the Array Dao that Su Mo displayed was simply too terrifying. Someone of his caliber poses an immense threat to the Purple Cloud Palace.’
’With just a single word from Su Mo, those Sacred Lands would willingly act as his enforcers and annihilate the Purple Cloud Palace.’
"Yes!"
Fu Tianbo stared at Su Mo with deadly intent.
His hatred for Su Mo grew with every passing moment.
Su Mo had not only stolen his woman, but now he had also displayed talent a hundred times greater than his own. ’I can’t let him leave here alive.’
RUMBLE!
Just as everyone was reeling in shock, the colossal Ancient Stele suddenly began to shake violently.
A vast wave of energy surged out from the Ancient Stele, eventually swirling around it to form a massive portal.
"Emperor Heaven Valley is open!"
Everyone’s eyes turned red with excitement, and some even roared out loud on the spot.
"See? It opened quite easily, didn’t it?"
Su Mo said, pointing at the portal.
Luo Fenghua said in a low voice, "Tianbo, go kill him!"
WHOOSH!
Just as Fu Tianbo was about to make his move, a soft hand suddenly grabbed Su Mo and pulled him into the Emperor Heaven Valley’s portal.
Star Shifting.
By the time Su Mo came to his senses, he found himself in a strange, new space.
The air was rich with Spiritual Qi, filled with the singing of birds and the fragrance of flowers. It was like a secluded paradise.
At the same time, Luo Yu’s voice reached his ears, "Is this Emperor Heaven Valley?"
"Why did you suddenly pull me in here?"
Su Mo asked, confused.
Luo Yu said, "It was Yanchen’s instruction. She said my strength is low, so I wouldn’t be noticed easily. She told me to pull you in when no one was expecting it."
"Huang Yanchen?"
Su Mo frowned.
Luo Yu guessed, "She was probably worried about your safety. She didn’t want you to be ambushed by the Purple Cloud Palace and the Haoyue Sect."
"She still shouldn’t have acted on her own and messed up my plans."
Su Mo was speechless.
He had originally planned to slap those old geezers—Luo Fenghua, He Tianteng, Tianbei, and Hua Gu—to death outside to save himself the trouble later.
Now, they’d been given a few extra seconds of life for free.
Su Mo said angrily, "We’ll wait here for them. When they come in, I’ll slap them into meat paste, one by one."
"That’s impossible. The portal teleports people randomly,"
Luo Yu said, shaking her head.
The only reason she and Su Mo were teleported to the same place was because she had been holding onto him as they entered.
The others wouldn’t necessarily be teleported here.
"This..."
Su Mo was so angry he almost coughed up blood.
’Something that could have been resolved in a few minutes will now take who knows how long.’
’What a waste of time!’
Luo Yu said, "Fighting four major powers at once might be a bit difficult for you. Now you can defeat them one by one. It’ll be easier this way."
Su Mo nodded.
The Purple Cloud Palace, Haoyue Sect, Celestial North Sect, and Cangxuan Sect... The four powers had over a hundred Martial Venerable experts combined.
’A direct confrontation would indeed be troublesome. If I were careless, I could suffer an unexpected defeat.’
Now, he could kill them as he pleased.
Luo Yu said excitedly, "Brother Su, let’s hurry up and look for treasures! There are countless treasures here. If we can find one or two Ten-Thousand-Year-Old Spiritual Medicines, we’ll be rich!"
"There are a few over there!"
Su Mo said, pointing to a nearby mountain.
Soon, the two of them reached the mountaintop.
Luo Yu’s voice trembled, "Brother Su, look! There are four Ten-Thousand-Year-Old Spiritual Medicines here. Do you know what they’re called?"
"This is White Atractylodes Grass!"
Su Mo explained, "Although this Spiritual Medicine is just an ordinary type, it’s ten thousand years old. If you pick one and consume it, you can instantly advance to the Martial King Realm."
"Really?"
Luo Yu said, eager to try.
Su Mo smiled, "If you want them, go ahead and pick them. This stuff doesn’t have much effect on me. All four are yours."
"No, I can only take one! The other three are yours!"
Luo Yu picked all four stalks of White Atractylodes Grass, kept one for herself, and handed the remaining three to Su Mo, insisting that he must take them.
Su Mo said with admiration, "It’s been a long time since I’ve met a Martial Artist with a disposition like yours—not arrogant or impatient, and not greedy. Wait until I’ve crushed these few pests, then I’ll accept the White Atractylodes Grass."
"Pests?"
Luo Yu looked around frantically.
Sure enough, several figures had landed not far from them and were rushing toward them with killing intent. It was Elder Zuo of Huayun Valley and his men.
At this moment, Elder Zuo’s injuries had fully recovered.
Besides Elder Zuo and his men, he was accompanied by three other powerful experts, all of them at the Martial Emperor Level.
"Valley... Valley Master Wei."
Seeing the old man with the hooked nose next to Elder Zuo, Luo Yu trembled all over, her face turning deathly pale.
"Valley Master Wei?"
Su Mo asked, "He’s the Valley Master of Huayun Valley?"
Luo Yu nodded heavily and explained, "His name is Wei Tong. He’s already a Late Stage Martial Emperor expert, and his Blood Technique is unrivaled."
"Alright, I understand,"
Su Mo said nonchalantly.
Wei Tong overheard their conversation and couldn’t help but frown.
’Is that all? He just "understands"?’
’Shouldn’t Su Mo be grabbing Luo Yu and running for his life?’
Elder Zuo gritted his teeth and said, "Valley Master, this brat is incredibly arrogant. Even Palace Master Luo couldn’t intimidate him just now. I doubt he’ll run."
"Won’t run? Hmph. If he won’t run, then we’ll kill him!"
Wei Tong said coldly, "Elder Zuo, I know you have a taste for young female disciples. After I kill this brat, I’ll reward you with that girl, Luo Yu. But you must promise me you’ll torture her to within an inch of her life."
"Thank you, Valley Master!"
Elder Zuo’s wicked gaze swept up and down Luo Yu’s body. "Valley Master, rest assured. Although I may be old, these old bones of mine are exceptionally sturdy. Fighting a heated battle for half a month won’t be a problem."
"Holy shit, you old bastard, you’re truly shameless. I’m blushing for you."
Su Mo looked at Elder Zuo with disgust.
Elder Zuo said with a savage expression, "Last time, I was injured, which is why you managed to bluff your way out. Now, I’ve fully recovered! You still dare to humiliate me? I’ll slaughter—"
CRACK!
Elder Zuo’s left leg bone suddenly snapped, and his forehead smashed into the ground, breaking open.
’Fully recovered?’
’Not a chance!’
