Chapter 1612 - Dealt With As Soon As Possible

Tushan Town was not far from the Shenwu Academy. Previously when he was of Martial Emperor Realm, he needed two days to get there.

Now, however, after breaking through to Level 3 Martial Honoured Realm, his speed was incomparable to his original speed.

He activated two Natal Spiritual Swords and took You Tianhan’s Avatar with him. It took him only a day and a half to get to the Shenwu Academy.

Far away, he felt rather emotional when he saw the fallen stars at Shenwu Academy.

Originally, he had thought that he would not return to Shenwu Academy again. He did not expect to be back so soon.

He had a few friends in Shenwu Academy, for example, Ren Yundu, Xie Bin, his benefactor Grand Master Huoyuan as well as the cold indifferent Instructor Mu Li.

This time, Su Mo did not hide anything. After approaching the Shenwu Academy, he kept the Natal Spiritual Swords and flamboyantly flew towards Shenwu Academy with You Tianhan’s Avatar.

Swoop swoop!

In a breath, the two of them landed in front of the gate of the Shenwu Academy.

In front of the gate, there were a few disciples standing guard. Some disciples who were going in and out of the gate saw Su Mo and were stumped.

“This… isn’t this Su Mo?”

“Su Mo is actually still alive?”

“Oh my gosh, isn’t he dead?”

Everyone’s eyes widened and looked at Su Mo incredulously. Someone who had already died had suddenly appeared, causing everyone to be in low spirits.

Su Mo was expressionless as he strode forwards along with You Tianhan’s Avatar and walked through the gate, straight into the Shenwu Academy.

In the Shenwu Academy, a large number of Outer Mansion Disciple also realised that Su Mo was there and instantly exclaimed.

Everyone was shocked. It was said that Su Mo had been killed by Grand Priest Wu Lun of the Sorcerer Tribe. It was bizarre that he had suddenly appeared.

Su Mo took no notice of anyone and walked into the mansion with the Avatar.

Afterwards, he was separated from the Avatar. The Avatar had its own mountain but he did not.

Su Mo was like lightning, flying towards the middle of the Inner Mansion. One of the tallest peaks was Huo Yuan Peak where Grand Master Huoyuan resided.

Swoop!

After a while, Su Mo steadily landed on top of Huo Yuan Peak.

It was silent on Huo Yuan Peak, without anyone in sight.

Su Mo slowly walked in front of the palace and immediately cupped his fists. “Senior Huo Yuan, Su Mo is back!”

Su Mo’s voice floated above Huo Yuan Mountia. However, there was no reply.

He knew that Grand Master Huo Yuan was in the palace as he could feel a profound aura within the Mansion.

After a while, the gate of the palace automatically opened and Grand Master Huo Yuan’s voice slowly sounded. “Come in!”

Hearing this, Su Mo nodded. He took a deep breath and strode into the palace.

In the palace, Su Mo saw Grand Master Huoyuan with a head full of white hair. He was sitting cross-legged on the Futon, as if he were an old man. He was no different from before.

“Senior!” Su Mo came in front of Grand Master Huoyuan and bowed to him once again.

Looking at the old man in front of him, Su Mo felt a little emotional. In his life, he had met many noble people. Saint Zhen Xian was one of them and Grand Master Huoyuan was another.

“Sit!” Grand Master Huoyuan took a look at Su Mo and, with a wave of his sleeves, a futon appeared at Su Mo’s feet.

“Thank you Senior!” Su Mo said and sat down.

“It’s good that you are alive!” Grand Master Huoyuan looked at Su Mo and nodded slightly after a while.

He did not question Su Mo on how he survived, nor did he ask why he took so long to return.

That was not important. What was important was that he was still alive.

Looking at the young man before him, Grand Master Huoyuan felt somewhat helpless. If such an ideal, refined talent were to learn craftsmanship from him, it might only take about a hundred years before he became a Sage Class Craftsman.

However, Su Mo was not interested in craftsmanship, nor did he want to pursue it.

“Senior Huoyuan, thank you for your care in the past!” Su Mo said sincerely. Although he did not spend a lot of time in Shenwu Academy, Grand Master Huoyuan had given him a tremendous amount of help.

“You do not have to thank me. As a disciple of the Shenwu Academy, I will naturally protect you!” Grand Master Huoyuan nodded slightly. He clearly knew that Su Mo was thanking him from protecting him from Wu Lun previously.

“I will always remember your favour. However, I cannot learn the ropes of craftsmanship from you, please forgive me!” Su Mo sighed.

“No worries, Mu Li’s craftsmanship talent is also very high. She will inherit my craftsmanship!” said Grand Master Huoyuan.

“That’s good!” a smile appeared on Su Mo’s face. Although Instructor Mu Li appeared to be cold, she was warm on the inside.

“Your Cultivation today has already reached Martial Honoured Realm. First go to the Outer Mansion Hall and collect the Mountain Peak that belongs to you!” said Grand Master Huoyuan.

“Alright, then I’ll make a move first!” Su Mo nodded and rose up. He bowed to Grand Master Huoyuan once again and then retreated.

Looking at Su Mo’s leaving silhouette, Grand Master Huoyuan’s eyes gradually lit up as emotion was written all over his face.

“What a true Genius!” Grand Master Huoyuan muttered to himself. He could naturally see Su Mo’s current Cultivation. Su Mo had already reached Level 3 Martial Honoured Realm.

In a short span of less than two years, Su Mo had been upgraded from Level 6 Martial Emperor Realm Cultivation to Level 3 Martial Honoured Realm. This speed of Cultivation was higher than that of Xuan Yuanlong, the Holy Son of Shenwu Academy.

It was precisely because Su Mo had such cultivation talent that Grand Master Huoyuan did not force Su Mo to learn craftsmanship.

After all, Martial Road was the main path. As compared to the boundless Martial Road, the Craftsman Road was only a trail, an auxiliary path.

…

Taishi Peak, the mountain peak residence of the Holy Son of the Taishi Family Faction.

At that moment, the hall was full of people and hundreds were gathered there.

The atmosphere in the hall was extremely heavy. If it were to rain now, it would suppress the people and cause them to be unable to breathe.

On the main seat, Taishi Jue was clad in a silver robe. His face was as black as coal and his gaze was icy cold.

“Everyone, what do you think?” Taishi Jue looked around and asked in a loud, clear voice.

“Holy Son, since Su Mo and You Tianhan are back, that means that Ji Feng must have failed!”

“They should all already be dead!”

“Su Mo’s cultivation has already reached Level 3 Martial Honoured Realm. With his combat strength, Ji Feng and the rest are definitely dead!”

Everyone spoke up, their faces serious. They had originally speculated that Su Mo might be of Level 1 Martial Honoured Realm Cultivation. However, this was completely beyond their expectations.

When Taishi Jue heard this, he nodded silently. Su Mo’s combat strength was invincible and ruthless. It was impossible for Ji Feng and the reset to still be alive.

“Holy Son, we cannot let Su Mo stay. Now that we have already completely fallen out, we should either go the whole hog or else drop it altogether and kill him!” someone suggested.

“Sounds good, how do we do it?” Taishi Jue asked, his face scrunched up. Now that Su Mo was in the Academy, how were they going to attack?

In addition, Su Mo was from the Imperial Ancestor Court Faction. Gu Tianyi would certainly not be a sitting duck.

“This…!” Upon hearing this, the disciple was stumped. He hurriedly said, “Then, we must wait for him to leave the Academy before taking action. If not, immediately send a messenger to inform the Sorcerer Tribe.”

“Yes, I agree!”

“Su Mo has killed so many of our people. He should be dealt with as soon as possible!”

“We absolutely cannot continue to let him grow!”

The disciples of the Taishi Family Faction spoke up. They all agreed to deal with Su Mo as soon as possible as Su Mo was growing way too fast.

Hearing this, Taishi Jue fell silent as he thought hard.

After a while, he said, “Immediately send someone to pass the message on to the Sorcerer Tribe, and send someone to closely monitor Su Mo’s whereabouts. If Su Mo does not leave the Shenwu Academy, let the Sorcerer Tribe think of a plan to deal with him. If he leaves the Shenwu Academy, we will deal with him.”

“OK!” The crowd instantly answered in unison.

Subsequently, the group of disciples of the Taishi Family Faction left the hall.

Taishi Jue looked at the group of people leaving and went into deep thought. Su Mo’s combat strength was too powerful and he had reached Level 3 Martial Honoured Realm Cultivation. Even if he were to personally deal with Su Mo, he was not fully confident that he could kill Su Mo.

As such, he needed to prepare in advance.
