Chapter 476: Kicked in the Head by a Donkey

Hm?

Bai Di grew even more furious when he heard Su Mo’s taunt.

Dammit!

How dare they!

It was bad enough they were treating him, the Saint Heir of a Sacred Land, like a pig in a sty, but now they even dared to provoke him to his face.

The audacity!

Bai Di roared, “Elder Yan, use your mighty Saint-level Power and teach these bastards a lesson! Show them who the real powerhouses are.”

“Alright!”

Elder Yan agreed boisterously.

He had been seething ever since he learned that the people of Qingyang City were keeping them like livestock, and he was looking for an outlet for his rage.

These Arrays naturally became the target of his frustration.

Besides, he was certain Su Mo wouldn’t dare kill him.

He was here under the sacred order of the Canglan Saint Master. If he died in Qingyang City, the city would never be able to withstand the Canglan Saint Master’s wrath.

BOOM!

Elder Yan channeled the Saint-level Power in his body, endlessly infusing it into his fist.

He was convinced that these Arrays couldn’t possibly withstand a single one of his punches.

After all, he had already shattered so many of them.

The outcome this time would surely be no different.

But just then, Nie Xiang, who possessed the Green Ghost Eye, noticed something was amiss.

The Arrays now seemed far stronger than before and were suffused with a terrifying energy.

“Wait!”

Sensing danger, Nie Xiang hurried forward to stop Elder Yan.

However, he was a step too late.

BOOM!

Elder Yan slammed his fist viciously into the Array before him.

He had expected to shatter the Array with ease, but instead, he was sent flying by a powerful force emanating from it.

THUD!

Elder Yan slammed hard into the ground. A sudden SNAP echoed from his arm, and he cried out in alarm, “No! My arm—it’s been shattered!”

Pain!

Elder Yan gritted his teeth against the agony, nearly howling out loud.

“What? Elder Yan’s arm is broken?”

“Impossible… Just a moment ago, these Arrays were…”

The crowd looked on in utter disbelief.

SHING! SHING! SHING!

Just then, tens of thousands of sword phantoms materialized within the space of the Array.

Hm?

The men frowned in unison.

“Run!”

Nie Xiang shouted a panicked warning and immediately shot back several hundred meters.

“What?”

The others were stunned for a moment before their faces paled in terror.

SWISH! SWISH! SWISH!

The sword phantoms rained down like a torrential storm.

With the exception of Nie Xiang, who had reacted first, everyone else was wounded and left in a wretched state.

Bai Di had more than a dozen sword gashes on his body.

Each one was deep enough to expose bone, and blood gushed from them ceaselessly.

Elder Yan was in the worst state of all.

Since he was the one who had attacked the Array, all the sword phantoms had targeted him, leaving over a hundred gashes on his body.

The one across his chest was the most terrifying.

If not for his Saint-level strength, which allowed him to dodge it at the last second, that particular phantom would have pierced his heart.

“What level is this Array?”

“It managed to injure Elder Yan, a Mid Stage Saint. This Sword Array… it must be a peak Saint-level Array.”

The crowd speculated amongst themselves.

No one could have imagined that these Arrays would become so terrifying in just a few short minutes.

But Elder Yan’s next words left them utterly stunned.

“These Arrays… they’re Pseudo-God Level,” Elder Yan said, his voice filled with terror.

What?

A Pseudo-God Level Array?

Fang Xi said in disbelief, “Impossible! Only a Divine-level Array Master can lay down a Pseudo-God Level Array, and what’s more…”

“…It must also be empowered by Divine Power!” Elder Yan finished his sentence.

Qingyang City already had Divine Power.

It was precisely because of his greed for Qingyang City’s Divine Power that he had risked entering this place, only to be trapped and left for dead.

Elder Yan said, “The Earth Vein you were all trying to seize before wasn’t Saint Level. It’s a Divine-level Earth Vein.”

HISS…

Everyone present sucked in a sharp breath, utterly dumbfounded and staring in disbelief.

A Divine-level Earth Vein… that was a supreme treasure that not even their four great Sacred Lands possessed!

How could Qingyang City possibly have one?

Elder Yan continued, “All of these Arrays have been empowered by the Divine Power from the Divine-level Earth Vein, transforming them into Pseudo-God Level Arrays.”

“This…”

Bai Di’s face went pale.

Even if their Saint Master were here in person, he would likely have trouble breaking a Pseudo-God Level Array.

And here, there were countless such Arrays.

THUMP!

Elder Yan immediately dropped to his knees. “I know I was wrong! I implore you to spare my life. I would be eternally grateful!”

THUMP! THUMP!

The others all knelt as well.

Even with a Sacred Land backing them, they no longer dared to act presumptuously in Qingyang City.

Bai Di, however, remained standing, his pride intact.

Su Mo waved his hand. “Old Huang, bring them out. I want to see them.”

“Yes, sir!”

Huang Xu opened a passage through the Array.

With hearts full of apprehension, the group followed the passage out of the Array and found themselves outside Qingyang City.

Su Mo asked, “Speak. What business brings you to my Qingyang City?”

Elder Yan turned to look up at Su Mo on the city wall and was slightly startled.

‘I’m a Mid Stage Saint, yet I can’t see through him at all.’

But he quickly composed himself and asked politely, “May I ask who you are…?”

“Su Mo.”

Su Mo nodded.

Elder Yan was astonished. “What? You’re Su Mo? Impossible! You already died in the Celestial Tribulation just now. How can you still be alive?”

“I was not the one undergoing the tribulation,” Su Mo stated calmly.

Only then did Elder Yan understand.

So, the person who had died in the Celestial Tribulation wasn’t Su Mo.

But then who was it?

That Celestial Tribulation possessed the terrifying power to strike down even a Saint-level Powerhouse.

Even he had been forced to his knees by its heavenly might.

‘How terrifying!’

‘To think Qingyang City has someone even stronger than a Saint-level Powerhouse.’

Elder Yan cupped his hands. “I am an Elder of the Canglan Sacred Land. The one beside me is our Saint Heir, Bai Di.”

“Canglan Sacred Land?”

Su Mo frowned. “I don’t recall having any dealings with your Canglan Sacred Land. What are you doing in my Qingyang City?”

“Hmph. What are we doing?”

Bai Di said coldly, “We came to offer you a great opportunity, but you treated us like pigs in a pen, trapping us in your Array. Well, the offer is off the table now.”

“Then get lost,” Su Mo said coldly.

“You…”

Bai Di stared at Su Mo, utterly aghast and incredulous.

Anyone else who heard that the Canglan Sacred Land was offering an opportunity would have been overjoyed, kneeling and begging for it.

But Su Mo didn’t care in the slightest. He even told him to get lost.

He was completely dumbfounded.

Nearby, Fang Xi frowned and whispered, “Is that Bai Di really the Saint Heir of the Canglan Sacred Land? He seems like a complete moron.”

Qingyang City was a major power with a Divine-level Earth Vein and a Divine-level Array Master.

Compared to Qingyang City, the Canglan Sacred Land was nothing.

It was one thing for Bai Di to be clueless about the situation, but to put on such arrogant airs in front of Su Mo, the master of Qingyang City…

‘Was his brain kicked by a donkey?’

Yuan Jie shook his head. “The Canglan Saint Master is a hero of his generation, yet he chose an idiot like this to be the Saint Heir. What a failure.”

Elder Yan also sensed things were going south and hurriedly tried to smooth things over. “Young Master Su, please don’t misunderstand. Bai Di, the Saint Heir, didn’t mean to be disrespectful. It’s just… it’s just…”
