Chapter 1603: Infamous

Up in the air, Hu Sheng’s body flashed past as a blurry image. He headed at lightning speed towards Wen Dao Mountain.

His speed was so fast that, despite the Sealed Demon Monument being far off from Wen Dao Mountain, he arrived there within an hour.

“Hm?”

Just as he was about to reach Wen Dao Mountain, Hu Sheng suddenly stopped. He could not sense the Seven-colored Glazed Pagoda.

In other words, his connection with the Seven-colored Glazed Pagoda was cut off.

“What happened?” Hu Sheng frowned as his mind started to spill over with questions. How could the mental energy connection be cut off!

The mental connection that he had had with the Seven-colored Glazed Pagoda was so strong that he could sense where his weapon was, even if it were a few galaxies away.

However, he had suddenly lost his mental connection with it and Hu Sheng was utterly confused.

Yet, according to his previous senses, the Seven-colored Glazed Pagoda was on Wen Dao Mountain and that could not be wrong.

It was tough for him to find out who exactly had the Seven-colored Glazed Pagoda now that the mental connection with it was lost.

After all, there were numerous disciples from the Empty Sky Sect.

A short while later, Hu Sheng’s body jerked again and he continued on his path towards Wen Dao Mountain.

…

Su Mo took large steps as he briskly walked down Wen Dao Mountain.

Killing Bi Qinghan and losing his Dragon’s Vein reward had made him feel helpless.

However, right now, he was in grave danger and he couldn’t ponder the matter anymore.

Right as he was walking, an invisible aura seeped out of Su Mo’s body and he suddenly disappeared.

He had to be extra careful. It was possible that the Empty Sky Sect had arranged for people to stand guard at Wen Dao Mountain and wait for him to leave the sect.

Su Mo was being cautious as he carefully checked through his surroundings to see if there was anything out of the ordinary within a few kilometers from Wen Dao Mountain.

Then, Su Mo swiftly headed out of Wen Dao Mountain and left for Ancient Tong City.

Ancient Tong City was where the Sixth Chamber of Commerce was and it was also where he had agreed to meet Qingxuan.

15 minutes after Su Mo left the mountain, Hu Sheng arrived at the True Path Sect.

Howeevr, Hu Sheng did not enter the sect and waited for a few hours outside it. Since he did not sense the Seven-colored Glazed Pagoda, he left the place.

Hu Sheng did not barge into the sect to investigate due to the fact that he could not sense the Seven-colored Glazed Pagoda there again. As long as he sought help from others to investigate what had happened at the Ancient Demon’s Cemetery through the secret arts projection skill, he would know who had stolen the Seven-colored Glazed Pagoda.

…

Smoothly flying through the sky, Su Mo arrived at Ancient Tong City two days later without encountering any assassination attempts from the Empty Sky Sect members.

Perhaps it was due to the fact that the Ancient Demon’s Cemetery trial test was just over and the Empty Sky Sect had not made arrangements yet. Perhaps it could also have been because the Empty Sky Sect had given up on dealing with him.

For his own safety, Su Mo wore the Silver Mask once he entered Ancient Tong City.

He made his way to the Sixth Chamber of Commerce and settled down at a guest house near it.

In the following days, Su Mo would spend his time waiting for Qingxuan.

Su Mo sat down cross-legged on a mat in the guest house room and silently refined his Dark Force and stabilised his cultivation base.

At the same time as Su Mo was cultivating, the story of his battle with Leng Xie spread. Slowly, the news spread from the disciples of the superpowers who had witnessed the battle.

Like a fierce wind, the news blew through the galaxy at an unprecedented speed

In the mere span of a few days, it had reached the ears of half the population of Ming Xu Galaxy and it was still spreading like wildfire.

In an instant, Ming Xu Galaxy was in an uproar.

It could be said that this event was the biggest thing that had happened in the past 100 years of Ming Xu Galaxy.

Those who heard the news were surprised, and the battle between the two geniuses became the talk of the town.

Who was Leng Xie?

He was the most suitable candidate to be the heir to the leader after the Sun Moon Tribe had searched numerous galaxies and picked him among uncountable numbers of geniuses after spending umpteen number of years.

Such an outstanding talent had actually been defeated by another. This news was so shocking that many people tripped over their feet when they heard it.

Furthermore, the one who had defeated Leng Xie was a pro-disciple of the True Path Sect.

This wasn’t just a shameful event for the Sun Moon Tribe, it was a huge slap to its face.

Su Mo’s reputation once again increased as his name spread through Ming Xu Galaxy. Virtually everyone knew his name and he was almost 10 times more famous than he was in Ancientspirit Galaxy.

Furthermore, what made everyone speechless was that the more the news spread, the more exaggerated and absurd it became. Different versions of the battle spread.

For instance, one version was that the two geniuses fought for three days and nights before Su Mo finally beat Leng Xie.

Another example was that Su Mo was exaggerated to be so powerful, he defeated Leng Xie in none blow.

One even said that Su Mo injured Leng Xie to the point that he was half alive and only let him go because of Leng Xie’s identity.

Overall, the more the news spread, the more versions of the battle were fabricated. Excluding those who had personally witnessed the battle, most didn’t know which version was true.

However, the one point that could be confirmed was that Leng Xie had lost to Su Mo. That was a truth that was as hard as steel.

The True Path Sect was in even greater chaos. Many people wanted to find Su Mo only to realise that Su Mo wasn’t in the sect.

In the outside world, Su Mo’s name spread like a whirlpool through the ocean but Su Mo was calmly in his room cultivating.

He didn’t have to wait for long as Yun Youyou arrived 7 days later.

Su Mo opened his eyes and finished his cultivation. The messaging charm that Yun Youyou had given him was activated as Yun Youyou sent him a message.

Su Mo swiftly left the room and walked out of the guest house.

“I heard that this Su Mo is extremely talented. But wouldn’t he be killed by the Sun Moon Tribe after doing such an outrageous thing?”

“Maybe he won’t be killed. Su Mo is an exceptional genius and he might even replace Leng Xie as the successor of the Sun Moon Tribe leader!”

“That can’t be. No matter how high his talents are, he is not suited for the Sun Moon Tribe’s culture!”

“Maybe an Empty God martial artist of the Sun Moon Tribe will take Su Mo on as a disciple!”

The moment Su Mo walked into the hall of the guest house, numerous voices of drunk customers filled his ears, making him feel helpless.

The news had spread already and, to ensure his safety, he knew that he should leave as fast as he can.

Many people saw the silver masked man and were curious but they did not take note of Su Mo.

Who would have thought that the infamous Su Mo would be in a tiny guest house?

Once Su Mo had left the gust house, he went to find Yun Youyou straightaway.

At a lane near the Sixth Chamber of Commerce, Yun Youyou waited for Su Mo in a black robe with a black mask over her face.

Although she was clad fully in black, her tall, slender body and elegant figure could not be hidden.

Su Mo was very familiar with Yun Youyou and he recognised her at a glance.

“Holy Lady!” Su Mo walked towards Yun Youyou and greeted her.

“Let’s go!”

Yun Youyou glanced at Su Mo and lightly said before walking towards the city exit.

Whiz~~

Su Mo was slightly taken aback. He was just about to discuss their plan for the journey and he had not expected that Yun Youyou would be so anxious to leave.

Shaking his head helplessly, Su Mo hurried to follow after Yun Youyou and the two headed out of Ancient Tong City.
