Chapter 345: That's Not Strong At All

Hearing Su Mo's question, Luo Yu was almost rendered speechless.

'How does Su Mo not know anything?'

'It's like he's lived his life in vain.'

'Even if you're strong, you should have at least gathered some information before entering Emperor Heaven Valley. Find out who you can afford to provoke and who you can't.'

'So reckless.'

'What if he comes into Emperor Heaven Valley knowing nothing and runs into a tough nut he can't afford to offend?'

'He won't even have time for regrets when he's dead.'

Luo Yu took a deep breath and sighed, "Fu Tianbo isn't just strong; he's a demon-level talent. At only twenty-eight, he's already at the Martial King Great Perfection Realm and has the qualifications to advance to Martial Emperor at any time."

After speaking, Luo Yu looked at Su Mo.

She thought she would shock Su Mo, but instead, he said nonchalantly, "Only Martial King Great Perfection? That's not that strong."

"What did you say?"

Luo Yu stared at Su Mo, dumbfounded, thinking she must have misheard.

'Martial King Great Perfection isn't strong?'

'He must be joking.'

You have to understand, many experts from the older generation strive their entire lives and never reach the Martial King Great Perfection Realm.

Fu Tianbo reached it at twenty-eight and even has what it takes to advance to the Martial Emperor Realm.

If that isn't strong, then what is?

What she didn't know was that in Su Mo's Xiao Alliance, any randomly chosen Outer Disciple could wipe the floor with Fu Tianbo.

Not to mention Su Mo himself.

To this day, Su Mo still didn't know the upper limit of his own strength. It could only be described as unfathomable.

In all the battles he had fought, Su Mo had never encountered an opponent powerful enough to make him use his full strength.

Because of this, he often couldn't sleep at night.

It was like having a room full of gold bricks; you know they're valuable, but you don't know exactly how much they're worth.

It was enough to drive a person crazy with uncertainty.

"I said Fu Tianbo isn't that strong,"

Su Mo repeated mechanically.

Soon, he was met with Liu Ming's retort, "Brother Xiao, aren't you being a bit too arrogant?"

Su Mo was speechless.

'I'm just telling the truth. How is that arrogant?'

Liu Ming said, "Let's not even talk about how Fu Tianbo's Martial King Perfection Realm is above yours. If the Purple Cloud Palace heard what you just said, they would definitely come looking for trouble and revoke your qualification to enter Emperor Heaven Valley."

"That's right. Those bastards from the Purple Cloud Palace are fiercely protective of their own. If you say a couple of bad things about them, not only will they hunt you down themselves, but they'll also call on the Haoyue Sect, the Celestial North Sect, and the Drunken Immortal Tower to corner you."

"Are the consequences that serious?"

Su Mo asked, stunned.

He wouldn't mind if other sects caused him trouble, but if the Haoyue Sect came after him, that would be a real problem.

After all, he had a feud with the Haoyue Sect.

If the Haoyue Sect recognized him, they would undoubtedly use every means possible to target and kill him.

If he fought back and they became desperate, they might refuse to open Emperor Heaven Valley or even destroy the Token required to open its gate. That would be a complete disaster.

At this thought, Su Mo quickly changed his tune. "I admit Fu Tianbo's strength is above mine. I just spoke without thinking and misspoke. My apologies, I almost got you all involved."

"It's fine if you get us involved; after all, you're the one who saved our lives. We just don't want to see you needlessly throw away your future."

"With Brother Xiao's talent, given time, you'll surely be able to match Fu Tianbo. But until then, it's better to keep a low profile to avoid an untimely end."

Liu Ming and Gao Qiang earnestly persuaded him.

"I understand!"

Su Mo replied helplessly.

He was used to telling the truth and was simply terrible at lying.

'That was close. I almost blew my cover.'

Su Mo muttered under his breath, "Damn it, lying is so fucking hard."

Gao Qiang said, "Brother Xiao, don't be so unconvinced. Fu Tianbo really is a demon-level talent. Emperor Heaven Valley is being opened specifically for him this time."

"Is that so?"

Su Mo gave a thumbs-up. "Fu Tianbo is fucking amazing. He's a role model for us all. We must learn from Fu Tianbo."

"Hahaha, that's more like it."

Liu Ming burst out laughing.

Gao Qiang said, "Brother Xiao, that bootlicking was so sudden it caught me off guard. By the way, are you interested in joining our Huangfeng Valley?"

"Gao Qiang, can you use your brain for once? What am I going to do with you?"

Before Su Mo could answer, Luo Yu shook her head and said, "With Brother Xiao's immense strength, there's no way he would be interested in our Huangfeng Valley."

Huangfeng Valley was too weak. It only had one Martial Emperor, the Valley Master, and he was only at the Initial Stage Realm.

Su Mo was already a Martial King.

With his demon-level talent, it wouldn't be long before he advanced to Martial Emperor and became a talent on par with Fu Tianbo.

At that time, Su Mo would lead an entire era.

Liu Ming nodded. "Indeed. For a demon-level genius like Brother Xiao, the goal is surely a Sacred Land, to become one of its Core Disciples. Even if you made Brother Xiao the Valley Master of our Huangfeng Valley, he wouldn't agree."

"What a shame!"

Gao Qiang looked disappointed.

Just then, Little Tuantuan suddenly chimed in, "Brother Xiao Mo, the place where we found the Spiritual Medicine is just ahead. I can smell its fragrance."

"You can smell its fragrance?"

Su Mo asked in surprise.

Luo Yu said, "To be honest, Little Tuantuan has a Fragrance-Devouring Body. She can smell Spiritual Medicine from a hundred li away, which is why our master allowed us to bring her."

"A Fragrance-Devouring Body?"

Su Mo looked at Little Tuantuan in amazement. It was the first time he had heard of such a strange Spirit Body, but it was incredibly useful.

Emperor Heaven Valley was rich with Ten-Thousand-Year-Old Spiritual Medicine.

With Little Tuantuan and her Fragrance-Devouring Body, Luo Yu and the others were sure to have a bountiful harvest. Their only weakness was their lack of strength.

Sure enough, they hadn't walked much farther before the group discovered some Spiritual Medicine.

Su Mo said, "Five stalks of Purple Joy Orchid, all over Eight Hundred Years Old. Not bad, not bad. They could be exchanged for quite a few Spirit Stones."

"We have you to thank for this, Brother Xiao. Without you, we wouldn't have dared to come here."

Luo Yu carefully plucked the five stalks of Purple Joy Orchid and handed one to Su Mo. "Please take this one, Brother Xiao. I hope you won't mind it."

Su Mo refused, "I have no use for this thing. You should keep it for yourselves."

The Purple Joy Orchid was a Tier Five Spiritual Medicine.

Outside, it would indeed be worth a lot of Spirit Stones, but Su Mo had plenty on hand.

Moreover, Medicine King Valley had an Ancient Medicine Garden, where every single stalk of Spiritual Medicine was far more valuable than a Purple Joy Orchid.

"This... In that case, thank you, Brother Xiao."

Luo Yu bashfully put the Purple Joy Orchid away.

Liu Ming said with a tremor in his voice, "Senior Sister, now that we've gathered the Spiritual Medicine, we should leave this place quickly."

"What are you so nervous about?"

Su Mo asked.

Liu Ming stammered, "To be honest, when we came here before, there were two powerful Tier Six Great Demons. I'm afraid..."

"Tier Six Great Demons?"

Su Mo released his Soul Power to scan the area. Sure enough, he sensed several powerful Demon Beast auras. He narrowed his eyes and said, "You're mistaken. It's not two. It's over twenty."

"What?"

Liu Ming's face instantly turned deathly pale.

They couldn't even handle two. If over twenty showed up, wouldn't they be dead for sure?

'What do we do?'

Luo Yu and Gao Qiang were terrified as well. They trembled nonstop, their eyes filled with fear.

Su Mo reassured them, "Don't worry, they don't dare to come over."

"There's no way they won't come over."

Luo Yu shook her head violently. "Over twenty Tier Six Great Demons are more than enough to tear us to shreds. They'll definitely come to kill us."
