Su Mo rushed to the entrance of the village as he said, “It would seem that the people of the Black Blade Clan are haunting me.”

Su Mo already knew who came to the village when he received the information through the system.

The Master of the Black Blade Clan, Hei Lie, was a stage five cultivator of the Meridian Formation Realm.

…

At this moment, Hei Lie stopped at the entrance of the Crimson Heart Village.

“Is this the Crimson Heart Village? Hei Lie looked at the magnificent buildings in the Crimson Heart Village in disbelief.

Hei Lie was a participant in the battle and the destruction of the Crimson Heart Clan. So he knew what the Crimson Heart Village should have looked like instead. However, the Crimson Heart Village had not only recovered, but it was better than ever.

‘It would seem that there are still survivors of the Crimson Heart Clan. They even dare to reveal themselves so ostentatiously. They must be Golden Core Realm cultivators,’ Hei Lie guessed in his heart.

Hei Lie turned around and decided to leave. He only came here to look for his five disciples. Hei Lie could already guess what had happened after seeing what had become of the Crimson Heart Village.

Hei Lie thought it would be better to leave because he did not know the strength of the person who killed his disciples. Hei Lei had planned to tell the Cerulean Ocean Blades about this situation and let them handle this matter.

“Clan Master Hei, where are you going? You didn’t come all the way here just to leave, did you?” Su Mo couldn’t help but stop Hei Lie when he saw that Hei Lie was about to leave.

“Aren’t you Su Mo? I thought you died,” Hei Lie said in shock when he saw Su Mo.

When the Old Devil of the Crimson Heart Clan accepted Su Mo as his disciple, he held a ceremony for the occasion. All the clans that were on good terms with the Crimson Hearts came to congratulate the old devil, and the Black Blade Clan was no exception.

“It would seem that I survived, Clan Master Hei. What’s the matter? You look disappointed!” Su Mo said sarcastically.

“Why would I be disappointed? The Black Blades and the Crimson Hearts have been on good terms for generations. I’m pleasantly surprised to see you!” Hei Lie quickly replied.

Hei Lie was horrified that he couldn’t see through Su Mo. But he became certain that Su Mo was close to becoming a Golden Core Realm cultivator.

“Clan Master Hei, since you said that our clans have been on good terms for generations, perhaps you can give me an explanation on how my entire clan got killed,” Su Mo said as his expression gradually turned cold.

“You want an explanation? I’m afraid that I can’t give you one. You should go, and ask the Cerulean Ocean Blades for an explanation instead, Su Mo,” Hei Lie hurriedly said.

“Ah, of course. Perhaps I will go to the Cerulean Ocean Blade Village. But before that, should I kill some traitors before I leave?” Su Mo said mockingly.

A chill ran down Hei Lie’s spine when he heard Su Mo’s words.

“Then I will leave you to it. I shall take my leave!” Hei Lie immediately tried to leave after saying this.

“Clan Master Hei, it seems that you failed to understand what I mean.” After saying this, Su Mo balled up a fist and chased after Hei Lie.

When Hei Lie saw this, he quickly drew his blade to defend himself.

“Was that a spiritual weapon? Did the Cerulean Ocean Blades give that to you?” Su Mo said as he noticed a bloody scar appear on his fist.

“Hmph, I am not afraid of you, Su Mo. I don’t want to cause trouble. Leave now, and I will let you live!”

When Hei Lie noticed that Su Mo was alone, he became more confident.

Su Mo shook his head and remained silent for a moment. Then he muttered to himself, “Some people are just ignorant.”

“Su Mo, I don’t know how you managed to break through to the Meridian Formation Realm, but I strongly advise that you stay away from me, or you will suffer the consequences!”

Hei Lie noticed that Su Mo had no intention of leaving. Instead, Su Mo began to walk toward Hei Lie step by step.

Hei Lie then shouted in a panic. Hei Lie wasn’t afraid of Su Mo, but the people behind him. However, there was no one standing behind Su Mo.

“The person who stabbed my people in the back must die,” as Su Mo said this, he disappeared before Hei Lie’s eyes.

Hei Lie was also a battle-hardened person, so he knew of Su Mo’s attack. When Hei Lie saw Su Mo disappear, he immediately turned around and swung his blade.

But it was too late. Hei Lie only felt an intense pain before slowly losing consciousness.

Su Mo looked at Hei Lie, whose head had been smashed into a wall, and said with satisfaction, “This mantra is truly excellent.”

This mantra was a reward obtained by Su Mo when he was cultivating. After receiving that mantra, he immediately learned a secret technique.

This was one of nine mantras in the Cloud Hong Continent, and its speed was unmatched. Only the secret technique of the Great Golden-Winged Peng could compare to this mantra.

“Since I’ve already come out of the village, I think I’ll go and collect a debt from the Black Blade Clan,” Su Mo murmured as he tapped his hand against Hei Lie’s corpse.

Now that Su Mo was in the Meridian Formation Realm, it became difficult for him to improve his strength steadily, so he figured that he might as well go out for a stroll.

Su Mo forced out Hei Lie’s blood essence by using his essence, and after making the spirit blade recognize him as its new master, Su Mo rode the blade and flew to the Black Blade Village.

…

“Master, is this the floating island? The concentration of spiritual energy is really low!” A young man said to the old man in front of him in disdain on a boat near the floating island.

“Yes, this place seems to be barren. Why did you bring us here, Master?” Another young man said.

“Although this place seems barren, many treasures are to be found. Moreover, the Golden Core Realm is an absolute powerhouse in these parts, and so is the Meridian Formation Realm. We should seize this opportunity,” The old master said.

The group of people on the boat began to get excited at the sound of this. But there was only one exception. Someone on the boat was looking into the distance.

The sight of something unusual seemed to have piqued this person’s interest. That person saw beautiful palaces in the distance, and it looked like a heavenly palace.

The person was curious, and he wanted to go and investigate. So he looked for an opportunity. He quietly left the boat when his master and seniors discussed the floating island’s benefits.

…

At this time, Su Mo had already entered the Black Blade Village. He proceeded to take a seat at the helm of the main hall of the Black Blade Village.

All the Black Blade Clan disciples stood on the sidelines in fear, not daring to speak.

This all started when Su Mo had just entered the Black Blade Village.

The three elders and a supreme elder of the village were stage ten cultivators of the Meridian Formation Realm. They saw that someone was attempting to break into the Black Blade Village forcefully. So they tried to stop that person.

However, they were beaten into submission by Su Mo with just one hand. None of the disciples dared to refute Su Mo after that.

“Who was involved in the encirclement of the Crimson Heart Clan? Step forward now. Don’t make me force you. Otherwise, I will kill everyone,” Su Mo said as he played with the cultivation technique that he had just plundered.

The disciples of the Black Blade Clan looked at each other, but no one dared to step forward.

“No one dares to step forward, huh? Good…”

Before Su Mo could finish, someone shouted, “We should expose those people. We will all die if we don’t expose them now! Quick, help me find those backstabbers!”

After saying this, the person that shouted began to attack the people around him, and when the other disciples saw this, they started fighting amongst themselves.

After a long while, the battle finally subsided.

“Is that it?” Su Mo asked.

“The backstabbers are no more. We’ve killed those involved in the encirclement of the Crimson Heart Clan,” the person who took the lead replied with certainty.

“All right, you guys can leave now. There’s no need for the Black Blade Clan to exist anymore.”

After saying that, Su Mo immediately left.

“Yes, we will not allow the Black Blade Clan to reappear before you again..”
