Chapter 1512 - Silver Mask
Chapter 1512: Silver Mask
In the palace, Su Mo and Lu Gang sat opposite each other.
“Lu Gang, are there any large cities or auctions within a million miles from Wen Dao Mountain?” Su Mo asked in a deep voice. If there were such places near Wen Dao Mountain, it would be best for him to not go to Ancient Tong City.
After all, he was guaranteed safety within a million miles from Wen Dao Mountain. If he went to Ancient Tong City, who knew if he would meet an attack by the people of Empty Sky Sect.
“Within a million miles?”
Hearing this, Lu Gang immediately shook his head and said, “There are only a few small cities and towns within a million miles. It would be a waste of time to go there!”
“Would it?” Su Mo frowned. It seemed that if he wanted to get rid of all the treasures in his collection, he had to get far away from Wen Dao Mountain.
“Su Mo, are you worried that after you go out, you will be ambushed by the people of Empty Sky Sect?” Lu Gang was no fool. He thought about it and was able to see though Su Mo’s thoughts.
“Not bad!” Su Mo nodded and generously admitted it.
“This is indeed something to be wary of!”
Lu Gang nodded and said, “However, we just need to be careful to not be discovered by the people of Empty Sky Sect. It shouldn’t be much of a problem!”
Hearing this, Su Mo fell silent and went into deep thought. After thinking for a moment, he decided to go out.
Now he had too few Spiritual Crystals and could be said to be broke. He could only increase his strength by going out to earn some Spiritual Crystals.
Of course, because of the incident in Empty Sky Sect, he had to be careful. Who knew if there were masters from the Empty Sky Sect outside of Path Sect, waiting for him to leave Wen Dao Mountain?
“Lu Gang, let’s go to Ancient Tong City together. However, I need a small favour from you!” Su Mo said to Lu Gang.
“What favour?”
“I’ll hide in the Spacial Device and you can bring me out of the Sect!” Su Mo said. This was a better idea. If there were people from Empty Sky Sect outside of Wen Dao Mountain, it would not attract too much attention if he were to leave the Sect like this.
After all, there were thousands of disciples coming in and out of Wen Dao Mountain every day.
Of course, Su Mo was not worried that Lu Gang would harm him. After all, there was no hatred between the two, they had even worked together previously.
Furthermore, with Lu Gang’s power, it was unlikely that he would want to harm Su Mo.
“No problem!”
Hearing this, Lu Gang nodded. He could understand Su Mo’s requests. This was indeed safer.
“In that case, let’s not delay further and go now!”
Su Mo said quietly. Afterwards, he took the Space Bangle out and handed it to Lu Gang.
After a while, Lu Gang strode out of the palace, left Wen Dao Mountain and headed South.
Lu Gang did not stop. His body was like a meteor that cut through the sky, going at lightning fast speed.
After flying for about three hours, Lu Gang was miles away from Wen Dao Mountain. At that moment, he stopped.
“Su Mo, you can come out!” Lu Gang took out the Space Bangle and said softly.
Just as his voice fell, the Space Bangle shone and Su Mo appeared out of thin air.
“Thank you!” Su Mo thanked Lu Gang and then stowed the Space Bangle away.
“It’s a small matter!”
Lu Gang smiled and said, “Let’s go to Ancient Tong City!”
“Brother Lu, wait a moment!” Su Mo whispered. His facial muscles squirmed and his appearance gradually changed.
After a while, Su Mo turned into a young man with a square face.
Seeing this, Lu Gang was shocked. Su Mo was really cautious. Not only did he hide in the Space Bangle while going out, he had also changed his appearance.
However, changing his appearance was not very useful as it was only able to fool low-level warriors. There was simply no way to hide this from the investigative warriors of Martial Honoured Realm and above.
After a moment of silence, Lu Gang said, “Su Mo, I have a unique treasure. I can give it to you, maybe it will be of help!”
“What unique treasure?” Su Mo asked doubtfully.
Immediately. Lu Gang turned over his hands and a mask appeared on his palms.
This was a silver mask, simple and unadorned. It was quite ordinary now, and there was nothing special about it.
“Su Mo, this mask is called Silver Mask. It can conceal your aura as long as you are of Level 4 and below. If you are higher than Level 4, no one will be able to see your true identity!” said Lu Gang.
“Oh, how extraordinary!” Hearing this Su Mo’s eyes lit up. This treasure was very useful to him.
“Yes! This mask is extremely mysterious. I got it five years ago in an Ancient Ruin. However, to me, this treasure is useless!” Lu Gang nodded. After speaking, he passed the mask to Su Mo.
“This…. Lu Gang, I cannot take your treasure for no reason. How about this: how many Spiritual Crystals is this mask worth? I’ll pay for it!” Su Mo did not take the mask and said in a deep voice.
He did not want to owe Lu Gang anything. As this mask was so extraordinary, he could buy it straight away!
“Su Mo, do not stand on ceremony. Previously, in the Demons Domain, if it wasn’t for you, I would not have earned so many Spiritual Crystals!”
Lu Gang shook his head. Afterwards he directly stuffed the mask into Su Mo’s hands and said, “Let’s go!”
After that, Lu Gang spoke no further and flew straight ahead.
Seeing this, Su Mo looked helpless. Since Lu Gang did not want Spiritual Crystals, it would be best if he said nothing further.
Immediately after, he rapidly caught up with him.
While flying, Su Mo put on the Silver Mask and immediately felt the wonder of the mask.
This mask did not just conceal his aura but hid all of it underneath the mask.
If he did not look at this elixir field internally, even he would not be able to see his cultivation. It was really extremely wonderful.
“Not bad!” Su Mo broke into a smile. He could use this mask whenever he needed it.
Immediately after, Su Mo kept the mask and continued to maintain his changed appearance.
Even though the mask was able to hide his aura, it would be too eye-catching if he were to keep wearing it.
“Brother Su, when did you break through to Martial Honoured Realm?”
Lu Gang and Su Mo chatted while flying. He was curious about the speed of Su Mo’s cultivation.
“More than half a month ago!” Su Mo said.
“Oh, it looks like you did not break through in the Sect. I’ve not heard of anyone who pulled through a punishment half a month ago!” Lu Gang said with a smile.
“Pulled through a punishment?” Hearing this, Su Mo was stumped. After leaving Firmament Palace, there had not been any Heavenly Punishments.
In the beginning, Flaming Devil Ghost Sage had told him that his destiny was not in the rules of the Heavens. As such, there would not be any Heavenly Punishments.
With regards to this, Su Mo was completely confused. However, to him, it would be better if there was no Heavenly Punishment.
However, others seemed to have Heavenly Punishments, yet he did not. Who knew if there was going to be a change in the future? Or if there was some hidden danger left behind?
“Yes! Previously, I pulled through a punishment in the Starry Sky with a few Elders in the Sect looking out for me. If you pulled through a punishment outside, the dangers would be much greater!” Lu Gang said, fear lingering in his eyes.
Heavenly Punishment was an existence that every living being feared. It was a punishment from Heaven. It could result in one’s life-and-death situation with one careless mistake.
From Lu Gang’s point of view, it was an extremely dangerous thing for Su Mo to pull through a punishment without the guidance of the Sect Elders.
In addition, the more exemplary the genius was, the more terrifying the Heavenly Punishment was and the greater the risk.
“It’s fine! All is well!” Su Mo nodded. He did not tell Lu Gang that he did not have Heavenly Punishment.
The two of them chatted as they sped along, keeping a decent pace. About two days later, a grand ancient city appeared in front of them.
