Ye Jin made an eye gesture at a young man in yellow nearby when he saw Su Mo leaving the square.

On cue, the man in yellow stood up and addressed the trio, “You three, the matter of the alliance has not been resolved, what’s the rush to leave? Surely you can stay until the discussion’s over.”

Upon hearing that, Lin Ya stopped in her tracks. She turned around and asked, “Will there be an outcome?”

“Whether there will be one or not, your early departure only shows disregard for Brother Leng, does it not?” the man in yellow said coldly. He knew what Ye Jin’s motive was, so either Su Mo could stay for now or ruin the mood and have everyone go their separate ways.

Once he said that, Leng Canfeng’s face sank.

‘The trio’s early departure might have made him look bad, but to have it spoken in public was an entirely different deal.

Lin Ya’s face sank too. The man’s statement had deterred her from leaving.

“We don’t have time to hear you argue,” Su Mo spoke, unconcerned.

“Argue? We just haven’t decided on an outcome!” Leng Canfeng responded rather coldly.

“There won’t be one!” Su Mo exclaimed. With that, he hinted at Lin Ya and Ling Chang and the three walked off.

Leng Canfeng and many others did not looked pleased at all to watch them leave.

“Isn’t he the rumored Wu Shan from a few years ago?”

“It’s him!”

[hear he has extraordinarily strong combat powers!”

“He can’t be that strong. He’s just a Low-rank Supreme Being!”

Many whispered amongst themselves.

“Brother Leng, if that’s the case, I shall leave too!” said the man in yellow. Without waiting for Leng Canfeng to speak, he turned to leave.

“Perhaps this meeting won’t come to a conclusion today. We’ll be leaving too!” Several others announced their leave as well.

Next, more and more people decided to go, as though the show was over, and so the gathering ended in discord.

“Brother Leng, let’s meet some other time!” Ye Jin got up and greeted Leng Can Feng, before leaving with several disciples of the Qinghua Branch in tow.

Since almost everyone was going away, he could also leave openly too. If he waited a moment longer he might not be able to intercept Wu Shan.

Leng Canfeng watched them coldly as they left one after another. He did not bother to stop them. Since they had all decided to go, doing so would be useless.

“A bunch of idiots! There’s no way they can get into the headquarters!” Leng Canfeng secretly mocked the attendees. He had requested an alliance purely because he wanted to increase his chances in the Selection, but since that did not work, he could still enter the headquarters on his own.

Su Mo, Lin Ya, and Ling Chang entered the space directly after they left Deicide Manor, heading towards the Palmy Branch.

Wu Shan, beware of Ye Jin!”

They had barely gotten into the space when a disembodied voice suddenly contacted Su Mo.

“Eh?” Su Mo appeared stunned. It was Ge Li’s voice.

He inadvertently looked back in the direction of the Deicide Manor, but he did not see anyone.

“Senior Lin Ya, who’s Ye Jin?” Su Mo asked Lin Ya next to him.

“Ye Jin?” Lin Ya asked, taken aback. Then, in a low voice, she said, “Ye Jin belongs to the Qinghua Branch. He’s Reverend Tian Jue’s eldest disciple and Zang Renjie’s senior.”

“Was he there just now?” Su Mo asked.

“He was,” Lin Ya nodded.

“How’s his training?” Su Mo asked again.

“He’s an Advanced Supreme Being, number one in the Qinghua Branch. His skills are on par with Leng Canfeng’s,” she said.

Su Mo felt a shiver upon hearing that. There was a sense of danger.

But this place was not far from Palmy Star. Another hour and they would have returned home.

“Seniors, let’s press on!” Su Mo called to the two. They quickly accelerated and sped across the starry sky.

Lin Ya and Ling Chang were smart. They had managed to guess what might happen later, and hastily followed Su Mo.

Surely, the trio would not be able to return to the Palmy Branch unscathed. They were barely fifteen minutes away from Red Summer Star when danger dawned on them.

In space, a meteorite with a radius of several dozen feet suddenly exploded in front of the trio.

Five figures flew out from within the meteorite and instantly blocked their path.

Among the five, four were dressed in black robes and wore ghastly-looking masks, making them appear more savage.

The masks covered their faces and distorted their auras too. Their training levels could not be detected.

In the center, the fifth person wore a purple robe. Su Mo could have recognized him even if his face had turned to ash.

“Zi Xiao!”

Su Mo’s eyes widened in shock as he glared at the man in purple. It was Zi Xiao.

“Su Mo, how unexpected! You probably didn’t think I’d come to the Cloud Ridge World, did you?” Zi Xiao looked devious, his eyes as sharp as blades, as he scanned Su Mo and Ling Chang.

“Unexpected indeed!” Su Mo frowned, examining the four others in alarm. Zi Xiao’s aura might have become much stronger since the last time they met, but he was still a Middle-rank Supreme Being. Su Mo did not fear him, but he was queasy about the other four.

“Did Di Yihun bring you here?” Ling Chang spoke up. She also found it strange. Just a few years ago, she and Su Mo had talked about going back to the Cosmic World to look for Zi Xiao. Who knew the man would show up in the Cloud Ridge World!

“That’s right!” Zi Xiao nodded. He snickered and said, “Su Mo, prepare to meet your doom today. As for Ling Chang, I won’t kill you. In fact, I’ll cherish you.”

“Who are you? Don’t you know the consequences of dealing with us?” Ling Chang barked coldly as she eyed Zi Xiao and the four men in black robes.

She did not question why Zi Xiao referred to Wu Shan and Xuan Qing as Su Mo and Ling Chang. Perhaps those were her juniors’ pseudonyms, but nevertheless anyone who targeted them was just looking for trouble.

“Attack!”

Zi Xiao knew time was of the essence, so he wasted no time with small talk and ordered his squad.

‘These four Advanced Supreme Beings were top-class assassins he had hired at the expense of his wealth and resources. Today, he would reign supreme.

He knew Su Mo was not alone. Ling Chang and Lin Ya were with him.

He could not possibly succeed on his own, so he had had to ask for help.

Whoosh!!

At his command, he charged at Su Mo along with the four robed men.

The five of them had set their sights on Su Mo. Their mission was to vanquish him once and for all.

“Run!” Su Mo shouted on the spot, and quickly turned to leave with Ling Chang and Lin Ya.

He knew Zi Xiao had come prepared. He could not stay and fight. He had to escape immediately.

“Stay!”

At that moment, one of the men in black roared as he exuded boundless Rule power.

Rule of Gravity!

Once the powerful Rule of Gravity at the Seventh Order had been summoned, it turned the void, which was tens of thousands of square miles in size, into a strong gravity field..
