"You just need to follow my instructions. Everything will be fine!"

The man in a black robe said. He then turned over his palm and a storage ring appeared.

​​

"This is part of your reward. After you have completed the task, there will be good fortune awaiting you!" The man in a black robe handed the storage ring to the short youth.

The short youth was elated when he checked the storage ring.

"I will not stand on ceremony then!" The short youth put away the storage ring happily.

"Inform me when you have completed the task!" The man in a black robe passed a Messaging Charm to the short youth.

"Don't worry! I will inform you the minute it's done!"

The short youth smiled. He then turned around and flew toward Green City.

The man in a black robe headed in another direction and left.

"Archean Deadly Poison?"

Su Mo, who was among the bushes, frowned. Who are the two people trying to deal with? They are evil.

The two of them are using unscrupulous means.

However, Su Mo was not concerned with them. He would capture the short youth and ask him about Ling Chang.

Su Mo then flew toward the short youth and followed behind him.

After they were far away from the forest, and just before they reached Green City, Su Mo suddenly increased his speed and stopped in front of the short youth. He then revealed himself.

"Who are you?"

When the short youth saw Su Mo appearing in front of him all of a sudden, he was shocked. He immediately came to a halt.

"Answer one question truthfully. If you do not do so, I shall not show you any mercy." Su Mo said coldly.

The short youth frowned when he heard it. However, after he had sized Su Mo up, he sneered, "You have the same cultivation level as me. Do you think I am afraid of you?"

The short youth looked at Su Mo with disdain when he saw that Su Mo was not a Rank 3 Empty God. He was full of confidence in himself. Not many people in the same rank as him could defeat him.

"It seems to me that you will not be honest!" Su Mo said and looked impassive. He suddenly stretched out his hand to catch the short youth.

A large Chaotic Hand, which looked like the hand of a deity, suddenly grabbed toward the short youth.

"What?"

The large Chaotic Hand was quick and before the short youth could react, he was already caught by the Chaotic Hand.

Ah! Ah! Ah!

The short youth struggled fiercely. However, no matter how hard he struggled, he was unable to break free from the large Chaotic Hand.

"Who are you?" The short youth asked, looking fearful. He was truly afraid as he knew that he was being captured by someone extremely powerful.

"Tell me, is Ling Chang at Shang Qing Palace?" Su Mo asked.

"Ling Chang?" When the short youth heard the question, he was so shocked that he widened his eyes.

"That's right. Be truthful with me!" Su Mo said. The short youth had a high cultivation level and he must have been holding a high position in Shang Qing Palace. He should have some information.

The short youth calmed himself down and said with a fearful look on his face, "Palace Master was at Shang Qing Palace earlier but she has left."

"Left? Where has she gone?" Su Mo asked with a frown.

"I am not sure. She might have gone to the Ninth Mountain!" As the short youth was replying Su Mo, an unperceivable, strange look flashed across his eyes.

"The Ninth Mountain? Are you sure?" Su Mo asked again.

"I am not sure!" The short youth shook his head.

Su Mo sighed when he heard the reply. He then withdrew his Chaotic Hand and said, "Go!"

He did not make things difficult for the short youth. Although the short youth was an evil person, Su Mo did not have a feud with him, thus he did not want to kill him.

Su Mo did not doubt what the short youth had told him as he felt that there was no reason for the short youth to lie to him.

"Yes! Yes!"

The short youth kept nodding his head. He then went past Su Mo and hurried toward Green City.

While he was going past Su Mo, he curled his lips into an evil smile.

After the youth had left, Su Mo stood in the air and lowered his head to ponder.

It does not seem easy to locate Ling Chang.

She could be at the Ninth Mountain but that is only conjecture.

Most importantly, he cannot go to the Ninth Mountain.

Although the Ninth Mountain is not big, that is a place where the top powers gather together. Once he is there, his identity will be exposed and he will be besieged by Sky Tyrant Clan and the Sorcerer Tribe.

Forget it. I shall wait for her at Green City!

After pondering for a while, Su Mo decided not to take the risk. He would wait for Ling Chang at Green City.

He still had more than a year before the fight over the Dawn Stone Mine took place. He would wait for Ling Chang for a year in Green City.

If Ling Chang was still not back by then, he would leave.

Anyway, he could use the time to look into his Martial Skills.

After Su Mo had made the decision, he made himself invisible again and went back to Green City.

He found an inn outside Shang Qing Palace and stayed there.

When Su Mo was in the room, he went into the Bangle Space. He left his Spiritual consciousness on the Bangle Space so that he could observe the movements of Shang Qing Palace.

Su Mo sat cross-legged in the Bangle Space.

His cultivation level had reached Rank 1 Empty God Realm and it would be difficult for him to advance to Rank 2.

Rank 2 was the Reborn Rank, and it was a total transformation. It was meant to remove the ordinary body and put on a divine body.

The martial artists who had reached this stage were extremely powerful and their strength was greatly enhanced.

Although the Rank 2 Empty Gods seemed as feeble as children in front of Su Mo, that did not mean that the Rank 2 Empty Gods were weak. Su Mo was simply too powerful.

The power from his Fighting Souls, Chaotic Energy, and Blood Force boosted Su Mo's combat strength to an incredible level.

However, Su Mo was unable to break through to Rank 2 Empty God Realm as he had just advanced to Rank 1. He was still far from Rank 2.

There was a nourishment process at Rank 1 where the blood, qi, and spirit came together to form one body.

After settling down for a long period of time, that body would then become stronger. When that happened, he could then try to break through to Rank 2.

At that moment, Su Mo intended to comprehend the Space Ultimacy.

He did not shut his eyes but he used his mental strength to observe the changes in the space around him.

The space was formless but there were traces of changes taking place.

Su Mo went deep into his cultivation and continued to comprehend the Space Ultimacy. As his cultivation level had been enhanced and he had strong mental strength, that made it easier for him to comprehend the Space Ultimacy.

Time passed quickly, and two weeks had gone by.

Su Mo had a better understanding of the Space Ultimacy but he was still not at Rank 1 yet.

That day, Su Mo's Spiritual consciousness noticed the short youth again.

The short youth had left Shang Qing Palace again.

Although Su Mo had wanted to ignore the youth, he remembered that the youth and the man in a black robe had conspired to do harm to someone.

I shall follow him and see what he is up to!

Su Mo could not suppress his curiosity. He stopped comprehending the Ultimacy and left the Bangle Space. He then made himself invisible and followed the short youth.
