Su Mo flew speedily in the air, heading towards Ultimate Sword Domain.
“Should be almost there!” Su Mo thought while flying. Based on his estimation, Supreme Being Ren De and the rest should have already reached Ultimate Sword Domain.
Then, he suddenly stopped flying.
Below him, there was a lake about 10,000 miles wide and he slightly groaned before going into the lake.
He was preparing to wait for Supreme Being Ren De and the rest to pass by because, according to the plan, no matter what result there was, it would cause them to temporarily head back.
He sat crossed-legged on the bed of the lake, cultivating while familiarising himself with the Devouring rules.
Based on his calculations, if he wanted to reach Middle Rank 3, he would still need about at least 10 years time.
However, as Su Mo started cultivating, halfway through the Devouring Rules, Tuoba Liuming started to try to escape again.
As such, he had to immediately deal with it, but thankfully with his stronger skills now he was not worried that Tuoba Liuming trying to escape.
Time flew. As Su Mo was cultivating, he also set aside some energy to survey his surroundings to stay updated.
Two days later, above the lake, there was a sudden strong gust of wind and loud thunder.
“They’re here!”
At the bottom of the lake, Su Mo stopped his cultivation and opened his eyes.
Then, he transmitted an aura, this time, a truthful one.
He knew that with their high levels of cultivation, Supreme Being Ren De, Supreme Being Xuan Tian and the rest would be able to sense his presence even though he was out of their sights beneath the surface of the lake.
Woosh Woosh Woosh!!
As expected, just as they reached the lake, they made an abrupt stop.
“Father, this aura?” Supreme Being glanced at the glistening waters of the lake below them, alarmed.
“Wait here!” Supreme Being Ren De ordered. Of course, he picked up the faint aura as well and he knew instantly that it was Su Mo at the bottom of the lake.
“Yes sir!” Everyone nodded. After which, Supreme Being Ren De disappeared in a flash beneath the surface of the water.
In the dark, murky waters, Supreme Being Ren De was able to spot Su Mo accurately with his superb vision and he approached Su Mo.
“Friend, long time no see!” He broke into a flashy smile, a complete change from how he was back in Ultimate Supreme Being City.
“Senior!” Su Mo got up and took a deep bow.
Supreme Being Ren De slightly bowed back and with a wave of his hand, the waters surrounding them instantly froze, becoming as hard as metal.
This was a “Solidifying Power” that was so ever powerful. The solidified water was so strong and hard, it was even stronger than the average High ranked Sacred Weapons.
Not only could it be used for defence, it could also block out all sounds and traces of scent.
“Pal, your lover is still in the hands of Zi Xiao.” Supreme Being Ren De cut to the chase and told Su Mo straightforwardly.
“Oh!” Su Mo nodded. Indeed, the entire thing was a set-up and Qian Xunyue was still with Zi Xiao.
“What’s your next step?” Supreme Being Ren De asked.
“Since she’s still there, it makes things easier. Catch Zi Xiao!” Su Mo said coldly with determination in his eyes.
“But within Human Palace, apart from Old Man Gong Zhong, no one can compete with Zi Xiao!” Supreme Being Ren De reminded him. Zi Xiao was one of the Great Ten Supreme Beings within the Deity Plane, with strong battle powers. Even if he were to challenge Zi Xiao, he would be also uncertain about whether he could take Zi Xiao down.
After all, catching Zi Xiao was not the same as defeating him, in fact catching an enemy was even harder than simply killing him.
Furthermore, Ultimate Supreme Being Palace had Ultimate Supreme Being, whose skills were not very far from Su Mo’s.
“Senior, if there were to be news from the outside world that I had been caught by Human Palace, how do you think Ultimate Supreme Being would react?” Su Mo asked sternly.
“Ultimate Supreme Being would of course rush to Human Palace,” Supreme Being Ren De smiled, understanding what Su Mo was getting at.
However, he then groaned and lamented, “If Ultimate Supreme Being is together with Zi Xiao, even if I use up the resources of my entire palace, I might be still unable to catch Zi Xiao.”
“Then we shall think of a way to separate them.” Su Mo said sternly and started to brainstorm how to split them up.
“If this news spreads, Ultimate Supreme Being will definitely rush to Human Palace, but we need to ensure that Zi Xiao does not follow!” Supreme Being Ren De said.
“That’s simple!” Su Mo smiled and then told Supreme Being Ren De his plan.
After much discussion, the two settled on the details of the plan.
“Su Mo, I can’t help but mention, your performance lately has been really impressive!” Supreme Being Ren De looked at Su Mo up and down and smiled.
The fact that Su Mo had mastered the Ultimate Sword Art, taken away the Ultimate Holy Sword, and was the mastermind behind all these happenings, was really surprising for Supreme Being Ren De.
Initially, he had only aided in providing Su Mo a few resources and occasionally in other small matters. He was not fully invested in supporting him unconditionally.
However, he realised that he had underestimated Su Mo after all of these events.
Whether it was pure talent or pure wit, it was still extraordinary.
He was aware of Tuoba Liuming’s strength and talent, but did not expect Su Moto be able to take him down to only a mere low Rank 3. That skill was simply terrifying.
Furthermore, Tuoba Liuming was Tuoba Qingyun’s nephew and the proud grandson of Palace Master Di Yuan from Earth Palace, meaning that he might be the one to reign over Earth Palace in future.
“Su Mo, you’re really so talented, your plots are impressive!” Supreme Being Ren De exclaimed.
Perhaps the matter of the Split-Soul at hand could really turn out for the better.
Suddenly, he thought of a question: “If the news spreads that you have been taken away by my people from Human Palace, will Heavenly Palace change their target enemy? Are there spies from Heavenly Palace in Ultimate Supreme Being Palace?
“Don’t worry senior, Heavenly Palace and Earth Palace are already fighting each other, Heavenly Palace won’t have the time to react now!” Su Mo reassured and smiled.
“What?” Supreme Being Ren De asked in shock.
“By the time you approximately reached Ultimate Supreme Being Palace, I had already used tactics to cause Heavenly Palace and Earth Palace to battle each other!” Su Mo said. “As for other superpowers who might come to Human Palace, namely Yun Mu and Gujian Shan, we can just inform them that it was fake news.”
Huff!
Palace Master Ren De took a deep breath. He was completely shaken. He was completely taken aback by the Su Mo before him.
He really had never expected someone who was so young at the age of a hundred plus to have such an exploitative mindset, and come up with such a terrifying scheme.
At only Rank three, he was able to map out strategies and stir up the situation, completely fooling and toying with a bunch of Superpowers that were more superior to him.
Terrifying!
There was only one word to describe this — terrifying.
