249 Departure

The half of a spiritual stone was not to compensate Meng Han, but to humiliate him.

Su Mo had once again shamed Meng Han in public.

Meng Han turned ghastly pale and trembled with great anger. It was the deepest disgrace he had ever received in his lifetime!

"Go to hell!" Meng Han completely lost control.

Boom!

He suddenly waved his arm across the air to cast overwhelming palm force at Su Mo.

Gales caused by the palm force blew so fiercely that Su Mo could not even keep his eyes open. Su Mo was trapped in the vortex of these airflows.

Su Mo desperately activated genuine Qi under his feet in order to effectively dodge the attacks.

Fortunately, the Second Elder appeared in front of Su Mo.

With a wave of his arm, the Second Elder through a knife out with one hand. Suddenly, a tens of meters long saber lashed out horizontally, splitting the giant palm in two, rushing towards both sides.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

With a bang, the palm power hit the ground. The earth trembled and the mountains swayed, smoke and dust swirled around.

Two huge pits appeared in the ground, a dozen meters in depth and over 30 meters in diameter.

"Meng Han, are you mad? Don't make me fight back!" The Second Elder growled.

Meng Han was livid at the intercepted attack. He bellowed, "Second Elder, Su Mo embarrassed me. It's only natural that I kill him!"

The Second Elder glared at him and asked, "Put you to shame? He uttered not one vulgar word."

The Second Elder looked calm but slightly smiled.

Su Mo's behavior was unexpected, but he liked him more. The boy was audacious as well as quick-witted.

Humph!

Meng Han was unable to refute the fact that Su Mo did not speak with vulgarity. But what was unsaid was much more intolerable.

Meng Han grew pale and shouted, "Second Elder, he gave me half of a Lower Spiritual Stone, isn't that degrading to my dignity?"

Meng Han was infuriated by the Second Elder, who was apparently favoring Su Mo.

"Oh!"

The Second Elder nodded and flatly said, "You don't like Spiritual Stones? If that's the case, you can reject it."

The Second Elder remained calm, as if he had no idea how Su Mo had offended Meng Han.

"You...!" Meng Han blew up for he had not expected the Second Elder would pamper Su Mo so much.

He could not even give vent to his anger as he was no match for the Second Elder at all.

"Alright, Meng Han, go back!"

The Second Elder waved to warn them, "If you dare to attack Su Mo again, I won't be lenient!"

Meng Han looked ghastly pale, but had trouble accepting the Second Elder's words.

After a while, Meng Han looked at Su Mo and coldly said, "Bastard, you'll pay for what you said today!"

With these words, Meng Han turned round to rush off.

Qi Feiyu and the other two coldly glanced at Su Mo, and then left as well.

"The Second Elder, thanks for your help!" Su Mo held his fists together and thanked the Second Elder.

"You're welcome. Su Mo, the Sky Alliance won't let you off. Take care of yourself." The Second Elder shook his head and said.

He knew the Highest Elder greatly valued Su Mo, so he had come out to help him out today.

Upon hearing this, Su Mo nodded his head with a gloomy look.

"Watch out for yourself!" The Second Elder added, and instantly flew off.

Su Mo sighed at the room in disorder, and then he turned round to go away, leaving the whispering Outer Disciples behind.

Su Mo went downhill to the dock of Gale Island, and then headed for Waterside City by boat.

On board, Su Mo turned around to look at Gale Island with cold eyes.

"Meng Han, Qi Feiyu, Duan Jingtian, and the Sky Alliance! The day when I come back will be your death-day!" Su Mo murmured.

He intended to temporarily leave Gale Island for self-improvement, and would not come back until he reached the True Spirit Realm. He had to be able to match Duan Jingtian.

The ferryboat here was spacious enough to contain many private rooms. Su Mo paid for one room.

In the small private room, Su Mo sat cross-legged on the only bed.

"Where shall I go?"

Su Mo pondered for a while and soon took two maps out from his storage ring.

One was obtained from the Qingyuan Trial Test of the outer gate, the other from the Auction Room in Sky-sea Pavilion in the Imperial City.

Before, Su Mo had been too busy to study these two maps. Now he wanted to figure out if there would be any clue of treasures hidden.

The two segmental maps combined to make a complete one.

"Wuning Country should be here!"

Su Mo carefully studied the map and found the treasure marker was right within Wuning Country.

The newbie's manual of Gale Island included brief maps of Skymoon Country and neighboring countries. Su Mo thought them over for a while and quickly made up his mind.

Hong Domain was so vast, containing as many as 36 countries. These countries were hierarchical, and the most powerful one, without doubt, was the heartland—the Great Hong Empire.

Other than that superpower, six great powers stood out. What was left were 29 small countries were small ones, Skymoon Country being one of them.

The mother river of the land was Yan River. It bisected Hong Domain, stretching from the west to the east.

The south area of Yan River was home to Skymoon Country and another six countries, among which Wuning Country was the only great power.

Upon his arrival in Waterside City, Su Mo directly activated his body movement to rush on toward Wuning Country.

He did not ride a horse, for he could move much faster.

In a splendid palace, a dozen people were sitting up.

The head was the core disciple of Gale Island and one of the Four Talents of Skymoon Country—Duan Jingtian.

Besides him, Qi Feiyu and Meng Han were also present.

"Senior Brother Duan, I've just got the news. Su Mo has left Gale Island," a tall and square-faced youth said.

"Haha!" Upon hearing the news, Meng Han suddenly laughed just as Duan Jingtian was about to speak. "Haha, Su Mo, without shelter from Gale Island, the hell's yawning for you, and no one can save you!"

Meng Han laughed and said to Duan Jingtian, "Jingtian, I'll personally to kill Su Mo!"

Meng Han felt relieved for his opportunity to kill Su Mo was coming, and no one could impede him outside of Gale Island.

Upon hearing Meng Han's idea, Duan Jingtian muttered for a while and shook his head. He said, "Elder Meng, you've just started a feud with Su Mo. When he has something wrong, you'll be the first to be noticed by the Highest Elder."

What Duan Jingtian said made some sense. Meng Han at once felt helpless.

Duan Jingtian said to the tall youth who was reporting the news, "Pang He, take the task. You must kill Su Mo!"

Taking the order, Pang He confidently smiled and said, "No worries, Senior Brother Duan, I'll surely send him to Hell!"

Pang He was full of confidence. Even if Su Mo had defeated Qi Feiyu, he had not seen it.

He had reached the Peak Lv 3 True Spirit Realm, which demonstrated he had far more powerful cultivation than Qi Feiyu had. He believed it would be very easy to kill Su Mo.

"OK!"

Duan Jingtian nodded.

Meng Han added, "Pang He, remember to bring back his head once you've killed him!"

Meng Han hated Su Mo's guts, so only by maltreating Su Mo's corpse could he relieve a bit of his hatred.

"Haha, Elder Meng, as you wish!" Pang He laughed and turned round to walk away.
