Chapter 1600 - Return To The Sect
Warrior's Promise
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.
âI donât have it!â Su Mo lightly shook his head. He definitely wouldnât 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.
âDonât have it? How could that be? How would you not take such a valuable Sacred Class weapon for yourself?â 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?
âElder Ma, the Glazed Pagoda is in Demon Head Mountain of the Ancient Demonâs Cemetery!â Someone spoke. It was Tian Lang from the Roaring Sky Wolf Tribe.
âDemon Head Mountain?â Elder Maâs eyebrows furrowed.
âYes! The Seven-colored Glazed Pagoda is trapped in the Demon Head Mountain!â
âThatâs right! We saw it with our own eyes!â
âBut the Demon Head Mountain seems to have disappeared!â
Many people spoke out, confirming that the Seven-colored Glazed Pagoda wasnât 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 wasnât in Su Moâs 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 Shengâs mind and no matter where it was, Hu Sheng would obtain it.
âElder Yin Ze, we will take our leave first!â
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 Guâs lead and headed back to the sect.
Until now, no one had mentioned Su Moâs and Leng Xieâs fight.
That was because that matter would ruin Leng Xieâs name and it would harm the Sun Moon Tribeâs 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.
âSu 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!â Sage-to-be Zhen Gu turned his head back and cautioned Su Mo.
âMm, I know!â
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, âElder Zhen Gu, thank you for your help!â
âHehe, donât worry about it!â 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 Weiâs body jerked and she rushed forward to fly beside Sage-to-be Zhen Gu.
âElder Zhen Gu, I have something to report to you!â Yi Wei cupped her fists towards the elder.
âWhat is it?â Sage-to-be Zhen Gu asked.
âElder Zhen Gu, Su Mo killed a fellow sect member in the Ancient Demonâs Cemetery!â 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 Qinghanâs death.
Su Moâs eyes narrowed and he stared calmly at Yi Wei. He wasnât bothered about her report to Sage-to-be Zhen Gu.
Hearing Yi Weiâs words, Sage-to-be Zhen Guâs 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.
âSu Mo, wonât you explain yourself?â Sage-to-be Zhen Gu asked. He knew that Su Mo wouldnât kill Bi Qinghan for no reason.
âElder Zhen Gu, Bi Qinghan was among the Empty Sky Sect people who harmed me previously!â
âYou are saying that Bi Qinghan colluded with the Empty Sky Sect people?â Sage-to-be asked, bewildered.
âThatâs right! Otherwise I wouldnât have killed him.â Su Mo nodded his head.
âSu Mo, you have to explain clearly how Bi Qinghan could have colluded with the Empty Sky Sect people!â Yi Wei frowned. She didnât believe that Bi Qinghan would have colluded with the Empty Sky Sect.
âI am sorry but why do I need to explain it to you?â Su Mo countered.
âYouâ¦!â Yi Weiâs face turned dark as a rush of anger filled her heart.
âEnough!â
Sage-to-be Zhen Gu waved his hand casually, stopping the argument between the two. Then, he said, âSu Mo, I will inform the inner sect about this matter and they will investigate the truth. If you are telling the truth, you wonât be punished. But if you arenât, you will be heavily punished!â
âMm!â Su Mo nodded and didnât ponder much over the matter again.
Not long later, the group arrived back at Wen Dao Mountain. â
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!
âSu Mo, come and see me!â
Right at that moment, a light voice rang through Su Moâs mind. It was Saint Zhen Xianâs voice.
âSenior Zhen Xian?â Su Moâs 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 Xianâs palace. The two sat cross-legged across from each other on a futon.
âSu Mo, did you complete your mission?â Saint Zhen Xian had his long robe arranged beside his body. With a kind expression, he asked a direct question.
âSenior Zhen Xian, I have obtained the Ancient Demonâs Heart!â Su Mo said seriously.
âAlright, then you find some time to head to Myriad World Mountain!â Saint Zhen Xian instructed.
âMm!â Su Mo nodded his head. Then, he continued, âSenior 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 shouldnât be a problem with this, right?â
âThatâs alright, as long as you donât exceed 6 months!â Saint Zhen Xian said.
âAlright!â Su Mo was relieved. However, if he didnât go by Myriad World Mountain, Su Mo didnât know how long he would need to reach Ancientspirit Galaxy.
He had to discuss this matter with Qingxuan later.
âSu Mo, I will be leaving Ming Xu Galaxy a few days later. This time, I donât know how long I will take. Be careful by yourself!â Saint Zhen Xian cautioned.
âMm!â 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.
