Chapter 408 409: Divine Medicine

Martial Saint!

This was a profound Realm that countless Martial Artists dreamed of reaching, one they would rack their brains to achieve.

Because being a Martial Saint meant one was Extraordinary.

To be Extraordinary was to shed one's mortal coil and reach an entirely new level, a whole dimension above other Martial Artists.

From Extraordinary to Saint, then ascension to godhood.

Once the King of Reincarnation achieved his Breakthrough to the Martial Saint Realm, he would surely seek to ascend to godhood. His ambition knew no bounds.

Just then, a commotion erupted from the crowd.

"He... He killed Captain Lu."

"Captain Lu was one of the King of Reincarnation's most trusted men! Isn't he afraid of retaliation for killing him?"

"Retaliation? My ass! Didn't you hear him? He's specifically here to kill the King of Reincarnation. Captain Lu was just a scapegoat."

"Run!"

"This guy is unbelievably reckless! He isn't even afraid of the King of Reincarnation. If we fall into his hands, we'll be killed as scapegoats too!"

The ones causing the commotion were all assassins from Yama Hall.

Right now, they were scattered in all directions around Su Mo, their eyes filled with panic.

Even Captain Lu was subjected to a Soul Search. How could they not be terrified?

"Then I'll just kill you all."

As soon as he finished speaking, Su Mo vanished.

But he reappeared just as quickly.

When he reappeared, he was holding a head in his hand, and the ground was littered with corpses.

"This Su Mo... He's truly ruthless!"

An old man's eyelids twitched as he spoke.

After all, the Yama Hall branch in Hanhai City had over a thousand assassins, yet Su Mo had slaughtered every last one of them.

He didn't leave a single one alive.

Such methods would shock anyone who witnessed them.

Still, it could be considered a service to the public, ridding them of a menace.

Su Mo's gaze swept over the crowd. "If any of you see the King of Reincarnation, do me a favor and tell him that I, Su Mo, am waiting for him to come kill me."

"What? The Yama Hall branch was wiped out?"

"Impossible... Is there really someone reckless enough to attack Yama Hall? Does he not know how terrifying they are?"

"Gods, this is going to cause a massive uproar."

"This could very well draw out those old geezers from Yama Hall, and maybe even the power behind them."

News spread like wildfire throughout the Cangxuan Realm.

Instantly, the Cangxuan Realm was in an uproar.

The Ninth Floor Master was dumbfounded when he received the news. He asked in disbelief, "Elder Su... he really went to Hanhai City to kill the King of Reincarnation?"

"It's the absolute truth!"

The disciple in charge of intelligence replied, "However, the King of Reincarnation wasn't in Hanhai City. In a fit of rage, Elder Su killed two of Yama Hall's Martial Emperors and over a thousand of their assassins."

"Killed two Martial Emperors?"

The Ninth Floor Master asked, bewildered, "I thought only the Ten Great Yamas in Yama Hall were Martial Emperors. Could it be... that the information I gave Elder Su was completely wrong?"

"That's just their public face. The true Yama Hall is hidden very deep. They don't just have ten Martial Emperors. They might have a hundred, or even a Martial Saint," the disciple said grimly.

THUD!

The Ninth Floor Master went limp with shock and collapsed into his seat.

A hundred Martial Emperors?

They treat Martial Emperors like they're nothing.

There are more of them than dogs!

The Ninth Floor Master said with remorse, "I nearly got Elder Su killed... By the way, where is Elder Su now?"

"He's vanished. He probably returned to the Northern Profound Domain!" the disciple replied.

「Qingyang City!」

At that moment, everyone was sitting in the main hall, their faces etched with worry.

After all, Su Mo's opponent this time was the Haoyue Sect.

The Haoyue Sect had been a pillar of the Central Profound Domain for over ten thousand years, and it was filled with countless masters.

Even though Su Mo was powerful, they were all worried something might have happened to him.

But just at that moment...

A voice suddenly called out from outside the city: "Honey, I'm home!"

"Is that... the Young Master's voice?"

"It has to be the Young Master. No one else would dare shout like that outside of Qingyang City."

"Hahaha, that's wonderful! The Young Master is back safe and sound."

"Let's go, let's go! Let's all go welcome the Young Master."

By the time they rushed out of the hall, Su Mo was already inside the city walls.

Xiao Zhan laughed heartily. "Xiaomo, you're finally back!"

"Dad!"

Su Mo greeted Xiao Zhan.

Xiao Zhan asked with concern, "Xiaomo, did you run into any trouble on your trip to Emperor Heaven Valley?"

"No trouble. I just ran into a few Martial Emperor Residual Souls, killed them with a single sword strike, and happened to kill two Martial Emperors while I was at it. That's all," Su Mo said casually.

He made it sound so simple, but everyone who heard him was stunned speechless.

Those were Martial Emperors!

And Su Mo just said "that's all."

Xiao Zhan asked nervously, "If you can kill Martial Emperors, you must have had a Breakthrough, right?"

"Mhm, I'm a Grand Martial Artist now."

Su Mo nodded.

Hearing this, everyone was overjoyed.

For anyone else, a Breakthrough to the Grand Martial Artist Realm would be nothing special. But for Su Mo, it was an entirely different matter.

It meant Su Mo's strength had become even more terrifying.

With Su Mo as their pillar of support, no one would dare cause trouble in Qingyang City ever again.

Unless they had a death wish.

Zhuge Su asked in a grave tone, "Elder Su, what were the names of the two Martial Emperors you killed?"

Across the entire Cangxuan Realm, Martial Emperors were the strongest of the strong.

As long as a Saint didn't take action, Martial Emperors were invincible.

There was bound to be a major power backing them.

If this stirred up trouble, it would be a huge problem.

Su Mo said, "One was named Captain Lu. The other... I forgot to ask their names. They were both from Yama Hall."

"Yama Hall?"

Zhuge Su was stunned.

Although he already knew Su Mo had offended the King of Reincarnation from Yama Hall, he was still shocked to hear that Su Mo had killed two of their Martial Emperors.

Su Mo nodded. "Right. I went looking for the King of Reincarnation. He wasn't there, so I had no choice but to kill his men. Turns out, that guy is secretly trying to become a Saint."

"What?"

Zhuge Su shot to his feet in shock.

The King of Reincarnation is attempting to become a Saint?

Doesn't that mean Su Mo has offended an expert of the Martial Saint Level?

This is a huge problem!

But Su Mo was completely unconcerned. "Don't worry. As long as the King of Reincarnation dares to show his face, I can kill him, even if he's a Saint."

Zhuge Su shook his head.

Kill a Saint?

That was completely unrealistic.

No matter how strong Su Mo was, he was still mortal. A Saint, on the other hand, was a tyrannical existence of the Extraordinary Level.

The two of them were simply not in the same league.

Su Mo waved his hand. "Let's drop it. By the way, did anyone cause trouble here in Qingyang City while I was away?"

"No one caused any trouble, but something major did happen here in Qingyang City," Xiao Zhan said.

Su Mo asked curiously, "What was it?"

Xiao Zhan took a deep breath. "A Divine Medicine has appeared in our backyard!"

"A Divine Medicine?"

Su Mo shot up in astonishment.

Xiao Zhan nodded. "Yes, a Divine Medicine. And more than one."

"Take me to see!" Su Mo urged.

He had never seen a Divine Medicine in his life.

Xiao Zhan stood up. "I'll take you there now."

The group headed toward the mountain behind the estate.

The mountain was shrouded in a hazy mist, making it look like an Immortal Realm.

However, this was all an illusion created by an Array.

Su Mo was puzzled. "I don't remember setting up an Array on this mountain."
