Chapter 1600 - Return To The Sect
Chapter 1600: Return To The Sect
Although Elder Ma was completely enraged by the fact that Li Hentian had died along with many other sect disciples, he could not take his revenge with Elder Yin Ze present on the mountain.
Furthermore, Sage-to-be Zhen Gu and the other elders of the True Path Sect were not weaker than the Empty Sky Sect. Therefore, Elder Ma could only hold back his urge to take action.
However, despite Li Hentian being dead, Elder Ma had to take charge of things and ask about the Seven-colored Glazed Pagoda.
Afterall, that was the treasured weapon of Grand Elder Hu Sheng and he had to get it back.
“I don’t have it!” Su Mo lightly shook his head. He definitely wouldn’t admit it. If the owner of the Seven-colored Glazed Pagoda figured out that the weapon was with Su Mo, he would voluntarily hand it over. However, if the owner did not figure it out, Su Mo would keep it gleefully.
“Don’t have it? How could that be? How would you not take such a valuable Sacred Class weapon for yourself?” Elder Ma shot out questions in disbelief. The Sacred Class weapon could not have been destroyed. Since Su Mo had killed Li Hentian, how could he not have taken the weapon?
“Elder Ma, the Glazed Pagoda is in Demon Head Mountain of the Ancient Demon’s Cemetery!” Someone spoke. It was Tian Lang from the Roaring Sky Wolf Tribe.
“Demon Head Mountain?” Elder Ma’s eyebrows furrowed.
“Yes! The Seven-colored Glazed Pagoda is trapped in the Demon Head Mountain!”
“That’s right! We saw it with our own eyes!”
“But the Demon Head Mountain seems to have disappeared!”
Many people spoke out, confirming that the Seven-colored Glazed Pagoda wasn’t with Su Mo but that it was trapped in the Demon Head mountain.
This was a fact that many people had witnessed.
However, there were others who claimed that the Demon Head Mountain had disappeared subsequently.
Elder Ma nodded his head slightly. He was relieved that the Seven-colored Glazed Pagoda wasn’t in Su Mo’s hands. As for where the Demon Head Mountain was? He did not have to worry.
This was because the Demon Head Mountain was linked to Hu Sheng’s mind and no matter where it was, Hu Sheng would obtain it.
“Elder Yin Ze, we will take our leave first!”
Elder Ma cupped his fists towards Elder Yin Ze before he beckoned the group of Empty Sky Sect members to follow him.
With that, the other superpowers took their leave one after another and left the mountain range.
Su Mo and the True Path Sect members also followed Sage-to-be Zhen Gu’s lead and headed back to the sect.
Until now, no one had mentioned Su Mo’s and Leng Xie’s fight.
That was because that matter would ruin Leng Xie’s name and it would harm the Sun Moon Tribe’s authority. Hence, no one voluntarily talked about it.
However, that matter would spread throughout the Ming Xu Galaxy in a matter of time. There was no way to stop the talk from going around.
After all, so many people had witnessed it firsthand and the news could not be stopped from spreading.
Up in the air, Sage-to-be Zhen Gu led the group of True Path Sect members back to the sect.
“Su Mo, you have to be extra careful in the future. The Empty Sky Sect will not let the matter rest and they will resort to other methods!” Sage-to-be Zhen Gu turned his head back and cautioned Su Mo.
“Mm, I know!”
Su Mo nodded his head hard. He definitely had to take precaution.
Then, Su Mo flipped over his palm and retrieved the Golden Holy Sword. Handing it over to Sage-to-be Zhen Gu, Su Mo thanked, “Elder Zhen Gu, thank you for your help!”
“Hehe, don’t worry about it!” Sage-to-be Zhen Gu took his Holy Sword. He had only lent it to Su Mo and he did not intend to give it.
Shoosh!
Right at that moment, Yi Wei’s body jerked and she rushed forward to fly beside Sage-to-be Zhen Gu.
“Elder Zhen Gu, I have something to report to you!” Yi Wei cupped her fists towards the elder.
“What is it?” Sage-to-be Zhen Gu asked.
“Elder Zhen Gu, Su Mo killed a fellow sect member in the Ancient Demon’s Cemetery!” Yi Wei glanced at Su Mo and informed the elder. She did not have any intention to seek revenge.
After all, it was only her responsibility to inform the sect about Bi Qinghan’s death.
Su Mo’s eyes narrowed and he stared calmly at Yi Wei. He wasn’t bothered about her report to Sage-to-be Zhen Gu.
Hearing Yi Wei’s words, Sage-to-be Zhen Gu’s eyes narrowed. He had already known that Bi Qinghan was dead.
In the trial test this time, many disciples had died and Sage-to-be Zhen Gu had taken note of the deaths. However, he had not imagined that Bi Qinghan would be killed by Su Mo.
“Su Mo, won’t you explain yourself?” Sage-to-be Zhen Gu asked. He knew that Su Mo wouldn’t kill Bi Qinghan for no reason.
“Elder Zhen Gu, Bi Qinghan was among the Empty Sky Sect people who harmed me previously!”
“You are saying that Bi Qinghan colluded with the Empty Sky Sect people?” Sage-to-be asked, bewildered.
“That’s right! Otherwise I wouldn’t have killed him.” Su Mo nodded his head.
“Su Mo, you have to explain clearly how Bi Qinghan could have colluded with the Empty Sky Sect people!” Yi Wei frowned. She didn’t believe that Bi Qinghan would have colluded with the Empty Sky Sect.
“I am sorry but why do I need to explain it to you?” Su Mo countered.
“You…!” Yi Wei’s face turned dark as a rush of anger filled her heart.
“Enough!”
Sage-to-be Zhen Gu waved his hand casually, stopping the argument between the two. Then, he said, “Su Mo, I will inform the inner sect about this matter and they will investigate the truth. If you are telling the truth, you won’t be punished. But if you aren’t, you will be heavily punished!”
“Mm!” Su Mo nodded and didn’t ponder much over the matter again.
Not long later, the group arrived back at Wen Dao Mountain. ‘
Su Mo and Sage-to-be Zhen Gu bid their farewells before Su Mo returned to his palace.
Sitting cross-legged in the palace, Su Mo wore a solemn expression.
He would leave Ming Xu Galaxy soon and he was slightly emotional about it.
Originally, he had wanted to use the wormhole of Myriad World Mountain to return to Ancientspirit Galaxy. That was the fastest way.
However, now that Qingxuan was going with him, he could not go by the Myriad World Mountain way.
After all, the Myriad World Mountain did not allow outsiders to enter it.
Furthermore, Qingxuan would definitely not agree to entering his Jade Bangle. The Qingxuan now was no longer her past self and she definitely did not trust him fully.
Since that was the case, he would not go through the Myriad World Moutain way. Once he had returned to Ancientspirit Galaxy, he would find some time to head to Myriad World Mountain to complete his mission!
“Su Mo, come and see me!”
Right at that moment, a light voice rang through Su Mo’s mind. It was Saint Zhen Xian’s voice.
“Senior Zhen Xian?” Su Mo’s eyebrows jumped and he immediately stood and left his palace to head for Wen Dao Mountain.
A short while later, Su Mo arrived at Saint Zhen Xian’s palace. The two sat cross-legged across from each other on a futon.
“Su Mo, did you complete your mission?” Saint Zhen Xian had his long robe arranged beside his body. With a kind expression, he asked a direct question.
“Senior Zhen Xian, I have obtained the Ancient Demon’s Heart!” Su Mo said seriously.
“Alright, then you find some time to head to Myriad World Mountain!” Saint Zhen Xian instructed.
“Mm!” Su Mo nodded his head. Then, he continued, “Senior Zhen Xian, I have to head back to Ancientspirit Galaxy without going by the Myriad World Mountain way. I will have to complete this mission at a later date. There shouldn’t be a problem with this, right?”
“That’s alright, as long as you don’t exceed 6 months!” Saint Zhen Xian said.
“Alright!” Su Mo was relieved. However, if he didn’t go by Myriad World Mountain, Su Mo didn’t know how long he would need to reach Ancientspirit Galaxy.
He had to discuss this matter with Qingxuan later.
“Su Mo, I will be leaving Ming Xu Galaxy a few days later. This time, I don’t know how long I will take. Be careful by yourself!” Saint Zhen Xian cautioned.
“Mm!” Su Mo nodded his head.
Su Mo and Saint Zhen Xian continued to talk for a long while as Saint Zhen Xian gave him instructions on what to do once he reached Myriad World Mountain.
Half an hour later, Su Mo bid farewell to Saint Zhen Xian and returned back to his palace.
