Chapter 414: Chapter 415: Demons Moving Mountains

Elsewhere, a middle-aged man in black stood atop the ruins of Hanhai City, his expression as grim as it could be.

Suddenly, an illusory figure materialized out of thin air before him.

The middle-aged man in black immediately said respectfully, “This subordinate, Netherworld, pays his respects to the Lord Guardian.”

“Have you figured out what happened?”

The Protector asked coldly.

Netherworld nodded. “I have. Captain Lu and all the assassins from the Hanhai City branch were killed by Su Mo!”

“Su Mo?”

The Protector frowned. “You mean that kid from Qingyang City in the Northern Profound Domain? The one the King of Reincarnation wants to kill personally?”

“The very same!”

Netherworld said with trepidation, “According to what the people in the city know, that kid is incredibly strong. He killed Captain Lu almost effortlessly.”

“Oh?”

A flicker of surprise crossed the Protector’s face.

Netherworld analyzed, “Based on my investigation, this person’s strength should be at the Mid Stage Martial Emperor Realm, or perhaps even the Late Stage.”

“Hmph. I don’t care if he’s a Mid or Late Stage Martial Emperor. If he dares to offend our Yama Hall, he must die!”

The Protector snorted coldly and said languidly, “I’ll leave this matter to you. Go and take care of that Su Mo.”

Netherworld was stunned on the spot.

He wanted to take Su Mo out, of course, but he knew he wasn’t strong enough.

Netherworld said fearfully, “Lord Guardian, although this subordinate is a Mid Stage Martial Emperor, I may not be a match for that Su Mo.”

He was only a Mid Stage Martial Emperor.

Su Mo, however, was likely a Late Stage Martial Emperor; otherwise, he couldn’t have killed Captain Lu and the others so easily.

“Idiot! Do I have to teach you how to handle something like this?”

The Protector cursed, “You don’t always have to do the killing yourself! You can divert the disaster to others or pull the strings from behind the scenes.”

“This subordinate understands!”

Netherworld changed the subject. “About the King of Reincarnation…”

‘Su Mo is the prey the King of Reincarnation wants to hunt himself. If I kill him, the King of Reincarnation will never forgive me.’

The Protector said coldly, “I will personally speak to the King of Reincarnation. Hmph. He’s the one who caused this mess, and now I have to clean it up for him. The nerve of him.”

“I’m warning you, after you kill Su Mo, you’d better lie low. Be careful not to get targeted by those old geezers and end up dead.”

“Old geezers?”

Netherworld looked curious.

The Protector’s voice grew grave. “Who else could it be? The ones who are our enemies. I don’t know what’s gotten into them, but several of them suddenly appeared today and have their eyes on our Yama Hall. There are even traces of them in the Northern Profound Domain.”

“What?”

Netherworld’s face was a mask of shock.

‘Anyone the Protector calls an ‘old geezer’ who also dares to target Yama Hall must be an existence he can’t afford to provoke. For an expert of that level to actually appear in the Northern Profound Domain… Wouldn’t I just be courting death by going to the Northern Profound Domain?’

Netherworld tried to back out. “Lord Guardian, I really can’t do it.”

“What do you mean, you can’t? If I weren’t tied up at the moment, I wouldn’t be sending a piece of trash like you to the Northern Profound Domain.”

The Protector said coldly, “The next time I appear, you’d better have already killed that kid, Su Mo. Otherwise… you know the consequences.”

WHOOSH!

A gust of wind blew past and the illusory figure dissipated, leaving behind a completely bewildered Netherworld.

“Fuck! What kind of joke is this? I might not even be able to kill that monster Su Mo, and I have to watch out for those old geezers on top of that? This is a fucking suicide mission!”

Grumbling, Netherworld set off toward the Northern Profound Domain.

He was reluctant, but if he didn’t go, a fate worse than death awaited him.

‘Divert the disaster to others, huh?’

Netherworld’s eyes lit up as a good idea came to him.

「In Qingyang City.」

Su Mo had just arrived at Xiao Qingxue’s place of seclusion when she walked out and said in pleasant surprise, “Husband, you’re back!”

“Yes, I just got back!”

Su Mo looked Xiao Qingxue up and down, then said with a happy surprise, “My dear, you’ve broken through to the Martial Emperor Realm?”

Xiao Qingxue nodded. “It’s all thanks to you, Husband, and the Second Elder for gathering so many resources for me. I was only able to break through by a stroke of luck. I’ve also cultivated my Purity Body to Great Success!”

“The Purity Body at Great Success?”

Su Mo said in surprise.

Xiao Qingxue said confidently, “My Purity Body can grant me immunity to all attacks. Even a Martial Venerable Level expert couldn’t hurt me in the slightest.”

“Let me try!”

Su Mo gathered the power of an Early Stage Martial Venerable and threw a punch at Xiao Qingxue.

However, the moment his attack touched Xiao Qingxue, it was neutralized by a pure white radiance emanating from her body.

Xiao Qingxue didn’t even have to consciously defend herself.

“It really works!”

Su Mo was astonished.

He had to admit, the Purity Body was simply too overpowered.

No matter the attack, the instant it touched Xiao Qingxue, it would automatically crumble and dissipate, let alone actually harm her.

This made Xiao Qingxue practically invincible.

It wasn’t until Su Mo unleashed an attack at the Late Stage Martial Venerable level that he barely managed to touch her.

That was the limit of her Purity Body.

And this was only at the Early Stage Martial Emperor Realm. The thought of what she’d be like at the Late Stage, or even the Great Perfection of the Martial Emperor Realm, was terrifying.

Over the next few days, the entire Xiao Alliance’s strength increased tremendously.

Zhuge Su and Huang Xu both advanced to the Early Stage Martial Venerable Realm.

The rest also advanced to the Martial Emperor Great Perfection Realm, and it was believed that in a few more days, they too would break through to the Martial Venerable Realm.

At that time, after taking the Nine Dragon Venerable Pill, they could reach the Martial Emperor Realm.

In addition, Su Mo was also overseeing a grand expansion, making the city more than twice its previous size.

With a Pseudo-God Level Earth Vein and its current city, the Xiao Alliance had now truly reached the Holy Land Level.

「A few days later!」

Huang Xu pointed to the distant mountain range and said, “If we remove those dozens of mountains, the newly expanded territory of Qingyang City could house tens of millions more people and we could recruit another batch of experts.”

“Simple. Leave it to me!”

Su Mo summoned the Cyan Cloud Sparrow and the Ink Flood Dragon, and led a large group of Demon Beasts toward the mountains.

Both beasts were now Tier Seven Demon Kings.

The Ink Flood Dragon said eagerly, “Elder Su, just stand aside and watch. The two of us can handle these mountains.”

“That’s right. We’ve eaten and drunk our fill lately. It’s time to stretch our muscles a bit,”

said the Cyan Cloud Sparrow.

“Alright!”

Su Mo nodded in agreement.

The Cyan Cloud Sparrow walked up to a 300-meter-tall mountain, gathered its strength, and with a sudden lift of its hand, uprooted the entire mountain.

“Hm? This mountain is heavy!”

the Cyan Cloud Sparrow said in surprise.

With its tyrannical Tier Seven Demon King realm, coupled with the Divine Beast Blood in its veins, it could destroy this mountain with a single punch.

But lifting it was another matter entirely.

“Let me try!”

The Ink Flood Dragon took the mountain from the Cyan Cloud Sparrow’s hands.

BOOM!

The terrifying weight traveled down through the Ink Flood Dragon’s body into the ground, which instantly cracked under the strain.

The Ink Flood Dragon said, “It’s heavy, but still within my limits. Little ones, carry this mountain out of here.”

“Yes, sir!”

Several hundred Demon Beasts lifted the mountain and started carrying it away from Qingyang City.

Moving mountains!

At the same time, a huge flying ship approached Qingyang City. On its deck stood several hundred Martial Venerable experts, each one heroic and extraordinarily powerful.

The one in the lead was none other than the Martial Emperor, Baili Canon.

Baili Canon gazed at Qingyang City in the distance and chuckled. “Heh, this place was rather hard to find, but we found it nonetheless.”
