Su Mo sat quietly at the bottom of the lake. He was not cultivating, he was staring blankly at the darkness around him.
Ren De Supreme Being, Xuan Tian Supreme Being, and the other Supreme Beings had left.
Out of the five Supreme Beings, only one of them went back to Reincarnation Holy Court. The rest of them stayed back and hid in Ultimate Sword Domain.
Su Mo was keeping watch over the situation in Reincarnation Holy Court through his avatar.
Heavenly Palace and Earth Palace were having war with each other.
However, it was a war among the Supreme Beings and those at a higher rank. No one died as their strength was on par with each other.
Di Yihun and Tuoba Qingyun did not participate in the war and it ended in half a day.
Although none of them had emerged as the winner, Heavenly Palace and Earth Palace had fallen out with each other.
Heavenly Palace did not stop there. They started to get the Four Palaces to take sides with them, and the entire Reincarnation Holy Court was in chaos.
Earth Palace was outraged. They were already saddened by Tuoba Liuming’s death. Now that Heavenly Palace was trying to oppress them, rage gripped them.
“Go ahead and create more problems!” Su Mo muttered to himself. The more chaotic Reincarnation Holy Court became, the better it would be for him.
A while later, Su Mo left the lake and headed toward Ultimate Sword Domain.
After more than 10 days, Su Mo arrived at the Ultimate Sword Domain and he was not far from the Ultimate Supreme Being Palace.
He sent a message to Si Kongyan from a city that was near Ultimate Supreme Being Palace and waited patiently.
Time flew quickly. After a month, a piece of news was heard from Human Palace.
The content of the news was that Qin Yun had been captured by Human Palace.
The moment the news was out, the entire Ultimate Sword Domain and the other regions were in an uproar.
After all, when one captured Qin Yun, they would obtain the Ultimate Sword Art and the Ultimate Holy Sword.
…
At the secret chamber in Heavenly Palace.
Pom! Pom! Pom!
Someone was knocking vigorously on the stone door outside the secret chamber where Di Yihun was cultivating and it was none other than Tian Chenyu.
Rumble!
The heavy stone door slowly opened.
“Su Mo has been captured by Human Palace!”
Tian Chenyu said the moment he dashed into the secret chamber.
“Oh?”
Two rays of dazzling light shot out like arrows from Di Yihun’s eyes as he sat cross-legged on the floor.
Buzz! Buzz!
He stood up, and the misty starlight in the room suddenly surged into his body.
Di Yihun’s looks became apparent. He was in an embroidered robe and he looked burly.
He was as tall as a pine, with a big build. His palms were like fans and his arms like that of a dragon.
He looked grave and stern, but he had nice features. His brows were like knives and he had a pair of sharp eyes that were captivating.
Although Di Yihun was not very good-looking, he was full of charm. He had a unique temperament which would make him stand out from the crowd.
“Come, let’s go to Human Palace!” Di Yihun said with an impassive look as he started to walk out.
Although Di Yihun looked indifferent, he was excited and it was revealed in his eyes.
“No!”
Tian Chenyu immediately waved his hand when he saw what Di Yihun was doing and said, “I don’t think you should go.”
“Are you worried that Earth Palace will interfere?” Di Yihun stopped moving. He knew Tian Chenyu’s concern.
The moment he walked out, Earth Palace would be alerted. They would do something about it if he were to go to Human Palace to ask for Qin Yun.
After all, Earth Palace paid great attention to his movements.
However, Di Yihun felt that he had to make the trip personally since he had found out Su Mo’s whereabouts.
“It’s better to let Palace Master handle it!” Tian Chenyu said with a sigh and he continued, saying, “It’s to our advantage that Earth Palace is still ignorant about Su Mo’s identity. If you get involved, things may change. Moreover, we have no idea if the news is true and if Human Palace will hand Qin Yun over!”
Tian Chenyu was more level-headed than Di Yihun. It was not the right time for Di Yihun to show up.
If Earth Palace were to find out about Su Mo’s identity, things would get out of hand. Earth Palace would do whatever they could to vie with them over Su Mo.
As Heavenly Palace and Earth Palace were at odds with each other, Earth Palace would not let Di Yihun have his way even if they were oblivious about Su Mo’s identity. They might even try to kill Di Yihun.
When Di Yihun heard what Tian Chenyu had said, he nodded after pondering for a while.
As a safety precaution, it was indeed not appropriate for him to handle the matter. He held a special status. The minute he took action, everyone would be affected.
“I will have to trouble you then! When you have an opportunity, you must capture Su Mo!” Di Yihun cupped his fist and said as he looked at Tian Chenyu. He would have to depend on Heavenly Palace to help him carry out his plan.
“Don’t worry. Palace Master and the entire Heavenly Palace will do our best if given the opportunity!” Tian Chenyu nodded and turned around to leave.
Soon, Tian Chenyu and an elder left Heavenly Palace and were heading toward Human Palace.
The elder was tall and skinny with a head of white hair. He was fair and looked like a young man.
This elder was the Palace Master of Heavenly Palace, Tian Junhe. Everyone addressed him as Tian He Supreme Being.
Tian Junhe did not bring anyone with him except for Tian Chenyu as he wanted to keep the matter a secret.
Moreover, the situation was chaotic and Heavenly Palace needed more top powers to guard it.
When the two of them reached Human Palace, Tian Junhe did not get to see Ren De Supreme Being. He was received by an elder from Human Palace.
As expected, Tian Junhe came back empty-handed. The elder from Human Palace told him that someone had cooked up the news. Human Palace had not captured Qin Yun.
Although Tian Junhe and Tian Chenyu did not believe what the elder had said, they did not act rashly. They had left and decided to check around secretly.
…
At the Ultimate Supreme Being Palace, Ultimate Supreme Being, Zi Xiao, Ling Chang, and the other Sword Palace Masters gathered once again in the hall.
“Palace Master, Qin Yun has been captured by Human Palace. We must get him back. Even if we can’t get Human Palace to hand him over to us, we must get the Ultimate Sword Art and Ultimate Holy Sword back!” Zi Xiao looked at Ultimate Supreme Being with a grave look.
Zi Xiao was getting anxious. After all, since Qin Yun had been captured by Human Palace, they might get ahold of the Ultimate Sword Art and the Ultimate Holy Sword.
“Do you think the news is true?” Ultimate Supreme Being asked, looking indifferent. He was not fully convinced and he found something amiss.
Ren De had visited them recently to ask them to hand Qin Yun’s lover over so that they could use her as bait to lure Qin Yun out. However, they had managed to capture Qin Yun in such a short period of time.
“Palace Master, we can’t take the risk. What if it’s true?” Destructive Supreme Being said. They had to make a trip to Human Palace regardless of the authenticity of the news.
“You’re right!” Ultimate Supreme Being nodded. They could not take the risk and it would be better for them to verify the matter. He had to make a trip to Human Palace.
“Palace Master, let me do it. I shall go and verify if this is true!” Zi Xiao offered to make the trip. If Qin Yun was truly in Human Palace, Ultimate Supreme Being would find out about what Zi Xiao had done if he made the trip.
“Zi Xiao, a lot of people are doubting you during this period of time. I think it is better for you to stay in the palace!” Ling Chang said coldly. Although she was talking to Zi Xiao, she had meant it for Ultimate Supreme Being’s ears.
She could not let Zi Xiao leave Ultimate Supreme Being City as Si Kongyan had told her that it was Su Mo’s plan that Zi Xiao should stay put.
“Ling Chang, I have to make the trip personally to prove that I am innocent.” Zi Xiao said calmly, although his expression changed when he heard what Ling Chang had said.
Ultimate Supreme Being glanced at Zi Xiao and then at Ling Chang, and started to ponder.
“Zi Xiao, you shall stay back and take care of Ultimate Supreme Being City. I will go alone!”
Ultimate Supreme Being had intended to bring Zi Xiao along with him as Zi Xiao was powerful. However, when he thought of the recent incidents, he changed his mind and asked Zi Xiao to stay put.
“Palace Master, Human Palace will not show you any regard if you go there alone. It is better that I go along with you!” Zi Xiao said hastily as he was getting nervous.
If Ultimate Supreme Being knew that he had captured Qian Xunyue, he would find himself in hot water.
