Chapter 1008: Ambush

Translator: Transn Editor: Transn

The Celestialspirit Sect used to be one of the superpowers of the East Continent.

The nine peaks of the Celestialspirit Sect still stood high between heaven and earth.

A few of the peaks had collapsed in the last war. However, an expert had brought a few more peaks after the incident, restoring the nine peaks to its original state.

“Swoosh! Swoosh!”

Two rays of light appeared at the end of the sky, rushing towards the Celestialspirit Sect. The two rays of light were Cai Yun and Su Mo.

“Hold on!”

Cai Yun, who was mid-flight, suddenly shouted, stopping Su Mo from moving forward.

Su Mo immediately stopped when he heard her. He turned around and asked Cai Yun confusedly, “What’s the matter?”

“Something’s wrong, “Cai Yun looked at the Celestialspirit Sect in the distance, her eyes grave.

Su Mo noticed this, and his eyes swept across the Sect in the distance. He discovered that something was indeed not right.

There wasn’t a single person in the large Celestialspirit Sect. It was hauntingly silent, which was out of the ordinary.

“Let’s be careful. It’d be best if we can enter without anyone noticing just in case we get ambushed!”

Cai Yun said softly. Her goal was to rescue the Horned-demon tribe. As such, she had to try her best to stay safe in case she ended in an impasse.

Su Mo lost his smile when he heard that. Was there any need for him to sneak in with his current strength?

He could destroy the entire Celestialspirit Sect with the wave of his hand. Why go through all that trouble?

“You’re thinking too much!”

Su Mo shook his head and smiled, “All tricks are useless before absolute power.”

With that, Su Mo moved and continued flying towards the main gate of the Celestialspirit Sect.

“You…!” Cai Yan was angered and anxious when he saw that. Su Mo was too arrogant!

Even though his combat strength was very strong, and though he might possess the power of the Martial Royal Realm, they have no choice but to die if they were ambushed by many in the Martial Royal Realm.

“Don’t be rash!” Cai Yun said softly.

However, Su Mo paid no mind to her admonishment and flew straight towards the main gate of the Celestialspirit Sect.

Cai Yun was both angered and anxious. However, Su Mo had already flown through the Celestialspirit Sect’s gate boldly. She could not stop him even if she wanted to.

Cai Yun sighed and gritted her teeth, following Su Mo into the sect.

Since she had come with Su Mo, she could not allow him to face the dangers alone. She could only hope that she could rely on him now.

Su Mo and Cai Yun flew above the Celestialspirit Sect and stopped in the sky above to observe it.

However, something happened just as the two stopped.

Buzz…

Suddenly, a dazzling white light rose, and a huge air shield formation appeared above the Celestialspirit Sect.

The enormous air shield formation was like a giant air bubble that enveloped the two and the Celestialspirit Sect within it.

“Oh no!” Cai Yun’s expression changed drastically when she saw this. Her face, which was concealed beneath the black veil was as white as paper.

They had been ambushed, and they couldn’t flee even if they wanted to!

“Ha ha ha!”

Rang a loud hearty laugh right at this moment. Countless figures rushed out from the peaks of the Celestialspirit Sect.

More than 10,000 experts had appeared in the blink of an eye.

Eighty percent of them were from the Celestialspirit Sect while the rest were from the Cold-blood Hall.

Su Mo was calm and did not react visibly to the ambush. His eyes swept across the mountain and fell on the face of the laughing man.

It was Xue Tianqiong!

Not only was Xue Tianqiong here, Mo Qing, who ranked eighth on the List of Top 1,000 Talents was here as well.

Su Mo had once cut off Xue Tianqiong’s arm, but he had through unknown methods, found a way to replace it.

Su Mo also saw many familiar faces such as the Holy Elder of the Celestialspirit Sect, Hou Yuan, and the peak masters of a few peaks.

These people had voluntarily, or reluctantly submitted to the Cold-blood Hall.

“Su Mo, there are better paths to take, but you chose not to. Instead, you have come to seek death!”

Xue Tianqiong looked at Su Mo with an evil grin. They had been waiting here for long.

Someone had sent information to the Cold-blood Hall about Su Mo’s visit to the Holy Teal Dragon Sect. As such, Xue Tianqiong had personally brought men with him to lay the ambush, waiting quietly for Su Mo’s arrival.

Su Mo used to be a disciple of the Celestialspirit Sect. He would definitely visit the Celestialspirit Sect if he appeared and Xue Tianqiong knew this.

As such, he had laid an ambush beforehand. Su Mo would never be able to return should he dare to come.

“What are we going to do?” Cai Yun looked at Su Mo anxiously.

The Celestialspirit Sect and Cold-blood Hall had too many experts. Even if they disregarded the experts in the Martial King Realm, there were still about 40 experts in the Martial Royal Realm.

Right now, both she and Su Mo were like rats trapped in a hole and had no way to escape.

“Don’t worry, Miss Cai Yun!”

Su Mo gave Cai Yun a reassuring look and said softly, “I’ll save the Horned-demon tribe after killing all these people.”

Su Mo had said it lightly as if he was unaware of the situation he was in. He looked completely unfazed.

Cai Yun’s eyes widened when she heard that.

Kill all these people?

How was that possible?

Cai Yun was shocked by Su Mo’s words. If not for Su Mo’s solemn expression, she would have thought that he was kidding.

Cai Yun was not the only one who was shocked. Xue Tianqiong and those from the Cold-blood Hall and Celestialspirit Sect were all stunned.

Su Mo had dared to say that he would kill everyone in the face of such a dire situation. What was wrong with him?

“You’re really too arrogant!”

Xue Tianqiong’s expression grew stormy as he bellowed, “Su Mo, this formation can kill you easily without us having to act!”

With that, Xue Tianqiong formed a complicated seal in his hands. He lifted his palm and pressed the seal into the air shield formation.

“Boom!”

The earth started to shake slightly and the mighty spirit of the earth rushed out int surged into the formation. The air shield formation immediately formed into a large war saber.

The war saber was extremely terrifying. It contained not only a large amount of movement from the Dark Force, it also contained the mighty spirit of the earth. Its power was absolutely stunning.

Cai Yun, who was standing beside Su Mo paled and trembled at the power.

The power of the war saber was comparable to that of experts in the peak of the Lv 2 Martial Royal Realm and Cai Yun could not fight against it!

The war saber launched into the air the next moment and cleaved down from the heavens powerfully, heading straight for Su Mo.

The air was split apart and the terrifying saber power rushed into the sky and shook the Celestialspirit Sect.

“This is ridiculous!”

Su Mo watched the rapidly descending war saber and guffawed. He waved his sleeve casually and a blast of air swirled up into the sky.

Everything vanished in a flash.

The terrifying war saber met the blast of air that Su Mo made and disappeared without a trace, like snow melting in boiling water.

“What…!” Xue Tianqiong was stunned, his eyes staring at the spot widely.

Cai Yun was also stunned. Everyone from the Cold-blood Hall and Celestialspirit Sect was stupefied.

Everyone stared at the scene with wide eyes incredulously.
