Chapter 2485: Very Smoothly
Translator: Larbre Studio Editor: Larbre Studio
On this day, a group of people flew out of the East Gate of the Heavenly City.
There were thirteen in total, consisting of eleven young men and two elderly members.
Once they had exited the Heavenly City, they galloped high into the sky. They were heading towards the Beast Palace, one of the Six Great Palaces.
“Remember, on this trip to the Beast Palace, comparing skills is secondary. The main thing is to interact with one another, it’s a time for bonding!”
One elder member who was taking the lead spoke to the rest as he flew.
He was tall and thin, and looked rather pale, but he had eyes as sharp as a hawk’s. He was known as the Tian Huang Supreme Being.
“Understood!” his disciples responded. All this time, other than the Beast Palace, they had been representing the Heavenly Palace in enhancing relations with the Demon Palace and the Ghost Palace.
“Chu Tian, you’re going to the Beast Palace as an observer this time. Get to know their Demonic Arts!” said the Tian Huang Supreme Being as he looked at the young man who bore no expression at all at the back of the group.
This man, who went by the name of Chu Tian, happened to be Chu Tianxu, Zi Xiao’s secret disciple.
“Yes, I understand!” Chu Tianxu nodded briefly. He did not belong to the Heavenly Palace, merely residing there temporarily, so naturally he would not be joining in the interaction. He was just an observer.
Actually, he had not intended to make a public appearance but, for reasons unknown, the people at the Heavenly Palace had wanted him to come along.
“Brother Chu, the Demonic Arts of the Beast Palace isn’t worse than the strong Demon Tribes at the Sky Pool. You rarely come out, I’m sure it’ll be a great sight to see!” Jiang Fengran said with a smile as he reduced his speed and got in line with Chu Tianxu.
“Perhaps!” Chu Tianxu nodded, declining to comment. He was not close with Jiang Fengran, and did not intend to be.
Still, Jiangfeng Ran smiled and said nothing more. This time, he had pulled several strings to get Chu Tianxu out of the Palace.
Now, he only wanted Su Mo to accomplish his purpose successfully.
Looking at the two Supreme Beings at the front, Jiang Fengran grew solemn. Other than Tian Huang Supreme Being, the other elder known as Tian Lie Supreme Being was just as powerful as Tian Huang Supreme Being, if not more. He was also one of the stronger middle-rank Supreme Beings.
Right then, he could only hope the help Su Mo had found would be strong enough.
The group hurried along and gradually distanced themselves from the Heavenly City. Another hour later, they were more than several hundred thousand miles away from the City.
Just then, something happened out of the blue. A majestic hand suddenly appeared from the sky and dropped downwards, hitting Tian Huang Supreme Being and Tian Lie Supreme Being hard.
This large hand originated from a pale white source, extremely powerful and terrifying. It suppressed the two in front with the force of a mountain, attempting to kill off the two Supreme Beings.
“Who’s there?”
“You seek your own demise!”
The two Supreme Beings bellowed, both shocked upon detecting the murderous intent.
They responded extremely quickly too. Without hesitation, they went to attack. One held a palm while the other made a fist as they struck blows towards the heavens and the power source above them.
They did not have much to worry about, because the palm that appeared so suddenly was not that strong.
When the other disciples of the Heavenly Palace, along with Chu Tianxu, witnessed this sudden attack, they were shocked and stopped in their tracks.
While the two Supreme Beings were on the offensive, right before they could hit the power source, something else happened.
A strong airflow that came from nowhere aimed directly for Chu Tianxu. It came at an impossible speed, almost instantly.
“Not good!” Horrified and shocked, Chu Tianxu could neither escape nor resist in time. Instantly, he was engulfed by the airflow and lost the ability to move.
Swish!
The airflow carrying Chu Tianxu made him fly far away, but at the moment the two Supreme Beings’ attack finally managed to hit the power source in the sky.
Boom! Boom!
Two violent explosions shook the heavens and earth. The powerful hand, having been blasted, dissolved into airwaves and scattered everywhere.
The group of disciples broke apart out of fright. None dared to come into contact with the waves.
“Chu Tian!”
“Damn it!”
Tian Huang Supreme Being and Tian Lie Supreme Being realized Chu Tianxu had been captured, but they had just managed to defeat the power source and were not able to stop the other one.
Chu Tianxu was captured by the odd airflow, but it had not travelled too far. It stopped short of a few thousand miles away.
A short, old elder appeared in the sky. With the swipe of his sleeve, he stashed Chu Tianxu away.
“Ultimate Supreme Being!” Noticing the short, old elder, the two Supreme Beings and the other disciples of the Heavenly Palace called out in surprise.
“I’m taking Chu Tianxu!” the Ultimate Supreme Being said coldly as he gazed at the crowd. He did not change his appearance, because there was no need.
Whoosh!
With a cracking sound, an elder descended from the heavens and landed next to the Ultimate Supreme Being. It was none other than Yu Xuzi.
For safety purposes, Yu Xuzi had altered his appearance and ambience. After all, the Ultimate Supreme did not have to worry about the Heavenly Palace seeking vengeance, but he had a reason to do so.
That was why they had planned for Yu Xuzi to initiate the attack and distract the two Supreme Beings, while the Ultimate Supreme Being easily retrieved Chu Tianxu.
Initially, with Yu Xuzi’s skills, it would not have been sufficient to contain both Supreme Beings, but thanks to one of the Ultimate Supreme Being’s secret tactics, Yu Xuzi had been able to bring forth a technique several times its original power.
“Ultimate Supreme Being, what are you planing?” Tian Huang Supreme Being roared furiously. Face to face with the Ultimate Supreme Being, even though they had the upper hand in terms of number, he did not dare to simply attack.
If it was the two of them versus him, perhaps they could battle it out, but they had their many disciples to consider and could not risk getting them involved.
“What am I planning?”
The Ultimate Supreme Being snickered, “That’s my business, why do I have to report to you?”
“You…!” For a moment, Tian Huang Supreme Being was unable to refute him. Indeed, he knew Chu Tianxu belonged to the Ultimate Supreme Being Palace.
“Tell Zi Xiao that he can run, but he can’t hide forever!” the Ultimate Supreme Being said coldly again. After that, he turned around and strode away.
Yu Xuzi merely followed him and left quickly. In the blink of an eye, the two vanished in front of everyone.
“Damn it!” Tian Huang Supreme Being bellowed. This Ultimate Supreme Being would certainly be unbridled if he dared to declare rivalry with the Heavenly Palace.
They might not have cared about Chu Tianxu, but the Ultimate Supreme Being was clearly provoking them.
“This is out of our hands. Let’s take this to the Palace Master!” said Tian Lie Supreme Being softly. He was much calmer than Tian Huang Supreme Being. This was certainly not something they could handle.
“Yes!” Tian Huang Supreme Being nodded solemnly, waved his hand and said, “Everyone, follow me back to the Heavenly Palace.”
Presently, the group of startled disciples followed the two Supreme Beings back to the Heavenly Palace.
Jiang Fengran looked solemn too, but there was a hint of a smile in his eyes. The operation had gone a lot more smoothly than he’d imagined.
In that case, he could rest assured, the Heavenly Palace would not suspect their most valued disciple because of what had happened to Chu Tianxu.
After the group left, and after what seemed like ten breaths, a figure emerged from the ground. It was Su Mo.
“Everything went well!” he grinned. Initially, he had wanted the Ultimate Supreme Being to go for the kill, but the man had disagreed.
So, for this operation, they had only captured Chu Tianxu and harmed no one else.
It was just as well. If they killed too many, they would enrage the Heavenly Palace, then Jiang Fengran, the Ultimate Supreme Being Palace, as well as the Empty Jade Sect, would be dragged into the mess.
So, Su Mo had heeded the Ultimate Supreme Being. They would only capture Chu Tianxu and cause no harm to the others.
After that, in a flash, Su Mo flew quickly in another direction. He was not heading to the Heavenly Palace, nor was he following the Ultimate Supreme Being.
The two had previously agreed on a meeting point. It was not too far away. They just had to get there.
Half an hour later, Su Mo came to a lake with a radius of a thousand miles. He descended underwater.
It was silent at the bottom of the lake. The Ultimate Supreme Being and Yu Xuzi had yet to arrive, for the two had taken a long detour.. So, despite being faster than Su Mo, they would be late.
