Su Mo’s face was dark as he sat in a guest house.
All four city gates of the city were sealed.
Although he had the Heaven Illusionary Pill, he was not confident in escaping.
Once his identity was exposed, he would not be able to escape. The middle-aged guards at the city gates had high cultivation ranks, the weakest of which was a Rank 6 True God.
“How can I leave?”
Su Mo pondered to himself. He could not stay there for long as he would be in great danger.
If a Supreme Being interfered, he would be instantly recognized.
.
“Whoever started the trouble should end it!”
A few moments later, Su Mo’s eyes flashed. If he could capture Gongsu jia, he would be able to leave.
However, Gongsun Jia seemed to be a godly talent. Although he was at the Middle Rank 3 Realm like Murong Leili, Gongsun Jia would be strong.
Furthermore, there were many who followed Gongsun Jia, most of them were above the Rank 3 Realm.
In Void City, the territory under control of Eternal Shrine would be vast.
As such, it would be hard for Su Mo to capture Gongsun Jia.
“What bad luck!”
Su Mo grew more and more annoyed as he thought about it. He had wanted to come to Spatiotemporal City and cultivate peacefully by himself and had not expected this turn of events.
“Mm!” Right at that point, Su Mo jumped and he flipped over his palm to take out a messaging charm.
This messaging charm was from the Lower Plane.
“Just now…!” Su Mo’s eyes widened and he stared at the messaging charm intently.
He felt that the charm had vibrated slightly a second ago and could not be sure whether it had been real or his imagination.
Yet, Su Mo sighed in disappointment a second later when the messaging charm did not move anymore.
This messaging charm was used by Si Kongyan and Jiang Fengran to communicate with him from the Lower Plane.
However, the messaging charm was virtually useless in Deity Plane.
That was because the space in Deity Plane was too rigid. This would decrease the effective range of the messaging charm by about a thousand or even a million times.
“Were they trying to contact me?” SU Mo made a guess. This was possible as it could be that the messaging charm was too weak and he had not received any news.
After all, given the time that had passed, Si Kongyan and the rest would have arrived at Deity Plane.
There was no way that the group would contact him if they were in the Lower Plane.
“Where would they go upon arriving here?”
Su Mo wondered deeply and he immediately thought of Sky Dragon Court.
Sky Dragon Court was controlled by the Dragon Tribe and there was the largest chance of the group going there upon arriving at Deity Plane.
“If I left Void City, I would go to Sky Dragon Court!” Su Mo made a mental note.
However, he had not given the Primordial Spirit to Ling Chang. If he didn’t get back, he could not merge the Primordial Spirit with her.
He thought of an avatar, the avatar that had the Ancient Dream Primordial Spirit.
A few moments later, Su Mo sighed out loud and he didn’t worry about it. His most pressing issue was to figure out how to leave Void City.
“I can only capture Gongsun Jia!”
Su Mo felt at a loss. If he captured Gongsun Jia, he would be causing great trouble.
Once things was known, Di Yihun would receive news of him and Di Yihun would definitely head to Ultimate Sword Domain.
“Gosh!” Su Mo couldn’t help cursing. He was exhausted by all the trouble that followed him everywhere he went.
The Human Palace couldn’t be his backing nor could Ultimate Sword Domain. In the end, Su Mo was still too weak.
Since that was the case, Su Mo didn’t need a backing. He could not stay at a single place for long.
A short while later, Su Mo left the guest house and wandered around the city.
The four city gates were still heavily guarded by men.
Su Mo did not spot Gongsun Jia, nor Murong Leili, and guessed that the two were at the main governing mansion of the city.
After all, Gongsun Jia needed to go through the city governor to use the strength of the men in the city. As such, there was a high chance that he would be at the city mansion.
“I know!”
As he walked on the streets, an idea lit up in Su Mo’s head, Xu yan.
He killed Xu yan and Murong Leili and Gongsun Jia wouldn’t know about that.
Even if they wanted to investigate Xu Yan, they wouldn’t reach an outcome quickly.
As such, he would get close to Gongsun Jia while acting as Xu Yan. Gongsun Jia would be captured as he was unsuspecting.
However, Su Mo wasn’t sure of Xu Yan’s actual personality. He had not heard anything about Xu Yan. This was not a large obstacle though.
Su Mo walked into a street and carefully recalled Xu Yan’s appearance and aura as he closed his eyes tightly to think.
Very soon, Su Mo’s external appearance, physique and aura changed to become Xu Yan.
Even his cultivation rank appeared to be the Middle Rank 3 Realm.
With a mental thought, Su Mo appeared in front of the governor manor of the city and he walked into it.
The governing manor of Void City had splendid architecture. It was ten thousand feet wide and the walls surrounding the manor were a hundred feet tall.
Eight men guarded the manor, each with strong auras. They were all either Rank 2 or 3 True Gods.
“Are Senior Murong and Brother Gongsun in the manor?”
Su Mo strolled towards the manor and asked the guard. He wore a calm face and showed no signs of nervousness.
“They are in!” The leading Rank 3 middle aged guard scanned Su Mo and answered upon recognizing that he was Xu Yan.
That was because Xu Yan had come to the manor a few days ago with Gongsun Jia and Murong Leili.
“Please guide me!” Su Mo waved his hand.
The guard nodded and did not think twice as he led Su Mo into the manor.
The two walked past jaded paths in the manor and arrived before a grand hall a short while later.
As the doors of the hall opened, the music within the hall drifted out and Su Mo spotted a dozen young dancing ladies entertaining the men in the hall.
A middle-aged man stood in a domineering manner on the grand seat of the hall. Before him was a long table of delicacies lined with Spiritual Fruits and wine.
Murong Leili and Gongsun Jia were seated on the left and right of the man, each of them with a table of food and drinks.
Aside from that, there was nothing else in the hall.
“I can’t believe they can be so leisurely!” Su Mo was instantly at a loss for words as he had not expected that Murong Leili and Gongsun Jia would be so casual.
Xu Yan had been killed by him. How could Murong Leili still be in such high spirits? What a wonder.
The guard gestured for Su Mo to enter before he turned and left. Su Mo did not hesitate to walk into the hall.
Yet, Su Mo sighed dejectedly. He was in a tiger’s den. The middle-aged man on the main seat had to be the governor of the city as his cultivation rank was high.
The moment Su Mo entered the hall, all eyes turned towards him.
“Xu Yan, where have you been?”
Murong Leili instantly asked as he stared at Su Mo suspiciously. He had not gone to find Xu Yan and had not expected Gongsun Jia to send men to find Xu Yan and thus, had not expected Xu Yan to show up.
