Chapter 2684 Tai Ying Sovereign

“Lucky, I guess?”
Young Master Liu Yun’s face cooled down. He said, plainly, “You should say that I made you who you are today. And the other three inferior pieces of scum as well!”
Su Mo stayed silent. He knew the man meant the Ancient Demon Elder, the Ultimate Sword Honorable, and Lian Wuxu.
ndeed, Young Master Liu Yun had made them into who they were!
if it were not for him, they would never have gotten to the Cloud Ridge World.
But Su Mo was not pleased at all that the man had called them “inferior scum”.
“So she’s one of the four beauties of the Cosmic World?” Young Master Liu Yun turned around to check out Ling Chang. He grinned and said, “True to his word, Di Yihun did not exaggerate at all.”
He knew about Ling Chang’s background. Di Yihun had told him everything.
Ling Chang appeared frosty as she turned away, refusing to face him squarely. She knew all about what he had done in the Cosmic World.
During the time he was there, Young Master Liu Yun was nothing but a dreg who did whatever he liked because there were no rules to bind him.
“Young Master Liu Yun, I have a score to settle with Di Yihun and Zi Xiao, and I won’t stop until it’s done. Please don’t interfere!” Su Mo said coldly.
“What makes you think you can talk to me like that?” Young Master Liu Yun smirked and, snorting, said, “On Elder Jin Wu’s honor, I’ll let you off for now. Bear in mind, this is the Cloud Ridge World, not the Cosmic
World.”
Young Master Liu Yun suppressed the impulse to slap him. He knew that if he attempted to do so, Reverend Jin Wu would stop him.
Su Mo was really good at finding backup. He would not have cared if they were the Chief Elders from other branches.
But it had to be Reverend Jin Wu, whose teacher was Lord Fa Wu, someone the Young Master could not afford to offend.
And so, with a wave of his sleeve, Young Master Liu Yun flew up towards the Suspend Holy Mountain.
After the man had left, Su Mo glanced at Di Yihun and Zi Xiao, who stood a distance away. If Reverend Jin Wu acted now, he could be rid of those two in a minute.
But Reverend Jin Wu probably would not agree to that.
Furthermore, successful or not, even Reverend Jin Wu would not dare to fight a peer to the death at the foot of the Suspend Holy Mountain.
The crowd around them looked on with various expressions. They had not known Su Mo’s identity before, but now they knew him as Reverend Jin Wu’s disciple, Wu Shan.
It seemed Wu Shan had an old score to settle with Young Master Liu Yun.
“Wu Shan, focus on the Selection today and deal with this later!” Reverend Jin Wu solemnly spoke. Wu Shan had used to ask him about Young Master Liu Yun, but he had never expected the two to hold such deep
grudges against each other.
“Right!” Su Mo nodded. Young Master Liu Yun was not someone he could mess with at the moment. He had to focus on the Headquarters Selection.
“Di Yihun, if you can, you have to get rid of Su Mo during the Selection!”
Zi Xiao stood next to Di Yihun as he transmitted a thought to him. They absolutely could not allow Su Mo to enter the headquarters, or else it would be much harder to deal with him.
“Of course!” Di Yihun nodded. Su Mo had improved really fast. Surely he had the absolute advantage at the moment. It would have been troublesome if Su Mo had managed to enter the headquarters.
“He’s very strong. At the very least I’m not able to kill him now!” Zi Xiao sent another message.
“You were careless!” Di Yihun sighed. He had known about Zi Xiao’s failure to kill Su Mo all those years ago.
That mistake might have a huge impact on Zi Xiao.
If not for his injuries, Zi Xiao would have become an Advanced Supreme Being by now, and would have had a much higher chance of becoming a disciple in the headquarters.
“I’ve overestimated him, but mainly I’ve been cheated!” Zi Xiao had a disgusted expression. If the four people he had previously employed had not backed out at the last minute, he would not have been so wounded
even if he could not have killed Su Mo.
His four helpers had fled after unleashing just one move, and this made his blood boil.
In a matter of time, he would break through to become an Advanced Supreme Being, and when that happened he would seek out the four and make them pay the price with their blood.
“Only your own strength is true power. You’re too dependent on others!” Emperor Yihun shook his head briefly. Zi Xiao had told him in detail about his failed assassination a few years ago. Randomly paid bounty
hunters could not be trusted.
“It’s too late now. See if there is any chance today!” Zi Xiao messaged back.
At that moment, Xiao Yushu stood among the members of Skynet Branch. He looked at Su Mo, then looked at the Suspended Holy Mountain as well as Di Yihun and Zi Xiao. A faint light flashed through his eyes.
Currently, he had no means to deal with Su Mo, but the resentment in his heart remained unabated.
After seeing the rivalry between Young Master Liu Yun and Su Mo, he was considering whether he could join forces with the Young Master to eliminate the latter.
The grudges held by Young Master Liu Yun and Su Mo did not cause much disturbance. At this time, all the disciples were adjusting their auras as they got ready to face the coming Selection.
At this time, basically all who were qualified had already arrived. Over a hundred million disciples had gathered there.
With the Suspended Holy Mountain at the centre, the dense crowd below certainly looked spectacular.
Swoosh!
It was then that a figure emerged soundlessly in the sky above the Suspended Holy Mountain.
It was a middle-aged man, rather tall, who was dressed in a robe with black and white stripes. His hair was still black, but the sideburns had become as white as snow, running vertically down his face like two swords.
The man had a firm face, a handsome appearance and a charming composure, making it hard for anyone else to look away.
Some female disciples, even female Elders, looked upon this man in awe.
This man was none other than Tai Ying Sovereign, one of the youngest Lords in the Ancient Cloud Star Alliance. He had attained the Kismet Realm over a hundred thousand years ago.
Not only that, but during that time Tai Ying Sovereign had been practically invincible in every Realm among those of the same Order. He had reigned supreme over the Ancient Cloud Star Alliance and was well known
throughout the Cloud Ridge World.
When Tai Ying Sovereign was younger, he had been affectionate but not overly passionate, romantic and suave too. Thousands of women had fallen for him.
“It’s Tai Ying Sovereign!”
“Seems like he’ll be hosting the Selection this time!”
“It has always been the headquarters disciples who have reached the Great Completion Supreme Realm who would host the Selections. I can’t believe the Sovereign himself would personally host it this time!”
Discussions abounded when the man appeared. It was extremely rare for one of the Lords to personally conduct the Selection.
The Selections in the past had always been conducted by a disciple who had reached the Great Completion Supreme Realm. It was unusual to have Tai Ying Sovereign host it this year.
“So he’s Tai Ying Sovereign!” Su Mo squinted. He had heard about him from Reverend Jin Wu. This was the only Lord in the headquarters who had studied the Life-and-Death Path.
His Life-and-death Rule was surely no match for Lin Wanru’s Life Rule.
“Tai Ying Sovereign!” Zi Xiao was the most excited amongst the lot. He gazed at the Lord, filled with admiration and longing.
He had the Life-and-death Primordial Spirit and was studying the Life and Death Rule, both of which Tai Ying Sovereign had undertaken as well.
If he could receive Tai Ying Sovereign’s guidance, his skills would surely improve by leaps and bounds.
But this was his first time he had seen Tai Ying Sovereign in person since coming to the Suspended Holy Mountain. On normal days, he could not meet the Lord at all.
“Welcome, everyone. The Headquarters Selection of disciples, held every hundred years, shall be presided over by yours truly this time!”
Up in the air, Tai Ying Sovereign spoke in a hypnotic voice ever so seriously as he surveyed the crowd.
“Perhaps many of you are wondering why I’m personally hosting the Selection this time around!” Tai Ying Sovereign paused for a bit after saying that, before continuing, “That’s because I’m ready to make an exception
and take on an apprentice!”
The arena fell silent at once.
Then, numerous disciples expressed their excitement. Tai Ying Sovereign had decided to accept disciples!
It would be a great honor to be able to study under Tai Ying Sovereign. Their future would have unlimited possibilities.
Tai Ying Sovereign had only been several thousand years into the Kismet Realm, so he had yet to accept any apprentices. If one could become the Lord’s one and only disciple, they would receive incalculable benefits.
“Take on an apprentice?” Zi Xiao was shocked first, before the feeling turned to utmost delight. He got so excited that his face began to redden and his fists balled tight. He possessed the Life-and-death Primordial
Spirit and studied the Life and Death Rule. He was so compatible with Tai Ying Sovereign’s martial arts that he believed this apprenticeship was simply meant to be.
Chance!
Honor!
The great chance and honor of a lifetime had finally come!
ff he could study under Tai Ying Sovereign, not only would his future be limitless, but Young Master Liu Yun would not be able to oppress him any more.
As for Su Mo?
Haha, he could have him killed easily by then. There would be nothing to be afraid of.
hew!
Zi Xiao breathed deeply. Fate. This had to be fate. His skills might not have been the best among the disciples, but he was the most suitable apprentice for Tai Ying Sovereign, so he had the greatest chance..
