Chapter 2509 - Internal Strife
Chapter 2509: Internal Strife
The Third City went into dead silence as they were shocked by Su Mo’s ruthlessness.
He did not consider the consequences and had not shown any mercy.
The people would have thought twice about killing their opponents as everyone had a powerful force to back him up.
Although the men from the Chaotic Holy Court, Ancient Demon State, Starlight Court, Sky Dragon Court, and the other three Holy Courts had no qualms about killing anyone, they would not follow Su Mo’s footsteps and act rashly.
“Alright. Everything has been settled. Next, we will have to work hand-in-hand to deal with the other eight cities!” Su Mo said loudly as he looked at everybody after he landed from the sky.
He knew that no one would truly work as a team but they were still useful to him.
“Su Mo, what we have to do now is to find out who are the people in the respective cities.” Gongsun Changjue was the first to speak. There should have been an invisible array in every city, deterring them from looking into the city.
“That’s right!”
Su Mo nodded. After pondering for a while, he said, “I intend to send some of you to the different cities to find out who are the people in them!”
“Su Mo, I don’t think this is a good idea!” Long Shuangshuang shook her head and said with a grave look, “If we send too many people out, our opponents will know about us if we are captured by them!”
“That’s right. Although we have no idea about the situations in the other eight cities, likewise, they know nothing about us!” Gongsun Changjue agreed with Long Shuangshuang.
“Su Mo, we should send someone who is good at concealing himself to check around!” Mo Ye from the Ancient Demon State commented.
Su Mo nodded when he heard what the three of them had said. However, it posed a problem as well.
If they were to send only one person out, the news that the person brought back might not be true.
If Mo Ye was the one being sent, he might secretly help Prince Gu Mo and bring back news to mislead them.
Su Mo could only send people whom he trusted, for example, Long Shuangshuang, to perform the task.
However, the rest of the people might get to know that he was in the Third City if they were to discover Long Shuangshuang.
“Are any of you from Dark Shadow Tribe?” Su Mo asked as he looked at the people.
All of them looked at one another and they saw that no one was from the Dark Shadow Tribe. The Dark Shadow Tribe was considered a supreme force and they ruled one of the 81 regions in Sky Pool. However, none of the people from Dark Shadow Tribe was in their team.
“Brother Gongsun, can you go and check it out?” Su Mo asked Gongsun Changjue as he looked at him. He believed that only Gongsun Changjue would provide him with accurate information.
That was so as Gongsun Changjue would not help any of the Holy Courts.
Moreover, if the disciples from Eternal Shrine knew that Gongsun Changjue was in the Third City, they might secretly help him.
“Me?” Gongsun Changjue was stunned. He did not have the desire to take on such a menial task.
After pondering for a while, Gongsun Changjue nodded as he knew Su Mo’s concerns. He agreed and said, “Alright, I’ll go!”
Having said that, Gongsun Changjue disappeared. Other than some slight fluctuations in his previous spot, there were no other signs.
“Eh?” Su Mo was taken aback when he saw it.
Rules of Space!
Gongsun Changjue was well-versed in the Rules of Space and he had high attainment. That was vividly shown as the area had been surrounded by the power of the array and it was more condensed. However, Gongsun Changjue had no problem with his actions, which proved his high attainment.
“Su Mo, Gongsun Changjue is not only well-versed in the Rules of Space, he is also well-versed in the Rules of Time!” Long Shuangshuang told Su Mo when she saw his surprised look.
Among the people in the same rank, Gongsun Changjue would be the most difficult person to deal with although his strength might not have been comparable to that of Prince Gu Mo and Young Master Ba Yun.
Rules of Space and Time! Su Mo looked grave when he heard what Long Shuangshuang had said. He had never thought highly of Gongsun Changjue.
Su Mo reckoned that Gongsun Changjue was not a threat to him as he was only a Rank 6 Advanced True God. His strength was inferior to that of Prince Gu Mo and the rest and he would be unable to contend with him.
However, it did not turn out to be so. Even if they were to win the first round of the fight, he would have to be wary of Gongsun Changjue.
That’s right!
Gongsun Changjue is from Eternal Shrine, which is the Overlord of the Spatiotemporal Region. That is the force that Shi Kong Sovereign built.
As a Favored One from Eternal Shrine, it seems logical for Gongsun Changjue to comprehend the Rules of Space and Time
Not only has Gongsun Changjue grasped the Rules of Time and Space, the rest of the disciples from Eternal Shrine will have grasped the Rules of Time or Space as well!
Su Mo took a deep breath when he realized the challenges that he had to face in the Thousand Selection Fight. However, despite the challenges, he had to emerge as the winner.
“Let’s check around and see if the Third City is protected by any array!” Su Mo instructed everyone as he looked around.
“Alright!”
“Sure!”
All of them nodded and some of them started to check the city.
There was indeed a protective array around the Third City. A stele, which was about 26 meters tall, was the Main Array Base controlling the array. It was situated on one side of the city wall.
“Activate the array!”
At Su Mo’s instruction, everybody activated the protective array and a yellow Array Light Shield rose to the sky.
With the protective array around the city, they did not have to worry that someone would find out the situation within the city. After all, some people had special means to sneak in without their knowledge.
After they had activated the protective array, everyone sat cross-legged on the ground and waited for Gongsun Changjue’s return.
They waited for Gongsun Changjue for more than two hours.
The protective array of the Third City shook vigorously after two hours.
“It’s me!”
Gongsun Changjue’s voice was heard outside the protective array.
Before Su Mo could pass down the instructions, someone had already opened the protective array. In a flash, Gongsun Changjue appeared in front of Su Mo.
“Brother Gongsun, how is it?” Su Mo stood up immediately and asked. At the same time, he was secretly amazed by Gongsun Changjue’s skill. Gongsun Changjue’s concealing skill was superior to that of the Dark Shadow Tribe as he knew both the Rules of Time and Space.
Everyone gathered around Gongsun Changjue and waited for him to update them.
“The situation doesn’t look good!”
Gongsun Changjue shook his head and said, “I have checked all the eight cities. I can’t enter the First City as the team has activated the protective array. No one has come out of it and I have no idea what is going on inside. There is internal strife in the Second City…”
“Who are the people inside?” Su Mo asked immediately. Since there was internal strife, there were two possibilities. Either there were no powerful people in the Second City or there were too many powerful people there having different views and they were vying over the leadership role.
