Chapter 2232: Senior Liang

A group of young men gathered together in a large, open yard.

There were more than ten people who surrounded a stone table, where a silver-robed young man stood in the middle of them all.

This man was tall and skinny and had a long face. His eyebrows were threaded sharply and he gave others a cold feeling.

Thick energy dissipated from the chinese tea that the silver-robed young man held in his fingers.

Although the chinese tea in his hands gave the man a cultured look, he wore a long face and did not sip the sea.

Crack!

A loud sound split the air as the silver-robed young man clenched his fist up and directly crushed the tea cup in his hands. Instantly, the aromatic sound of tea dispersed through the yard.

“Damn it. Nine Heavens Hall wasn’t given to me but an outsider who just arrived!” The silver-robed young man’s face darkened and he glowered.

He had eyes Nine Heavens Hall for a long time and had put in a lot of effort in recent years for Deep Thousand Hall, to no avail.

Nine Heavens Hall was stolen from him by an outsider.

“Senior Liang, we have already investigated that man’s identity!” A black-shirted young man said.

“What is it?” The raging silver-robed man demanded to know.

“That man is Shangguan Hao, a mere Rank 3 Empty God who practices the Five Elemental Dark Force. His Primordial Spirit is the Great Rotating Sacred Sword and he has high talent!” The black-shirted young man informed.

“Hehe!”

Upon hearing the black-shirted man’s words, Senior Liang scoffed, “what a joke to be a lowly Rank 3 Empty God. How can he be worthy of Nine Heavens Hall?”

Senior Liang felt incredibly annoyed. Men from the Lower Plane were lowly beings in his eyes.

If he, someone who was born in Deity Plane, couldn’t have Nine Heavens Hall, what right did someone from the Lower Plane have?

He couldn’t help being enraged over the matter. His talents were considered top notch in Nine Heavens Hall.

At less than a hundred and fifty years old, his cultivation rank had already reached the Rank 3 True Deity Realm.

“Senior Liang, the Palace Master has personally offered Nine Heavens Hall to Shangguan Hao, what can we do?” Another white-shirted young man helplessly sighed.

They had all hoped that Senior Liang would obtain Nine Heavens Hall. After all, they were all supporters of Senior Liang and if Senior Liang managed to get Nine Heavens Hall, they could share its benefits.

However, it was a pity that the Palace Master had assessed Shangguan Hao personally. What could they do?

Senior Liang fell silent. There was no way to change the Palace Master’s orders, but he would not give up.

“Senior Liang, this man managed to reach Deity Plane although he is only a Rank 3 Empty God. His talents must be very high and I think that the Palace Master thinks he has potential!”

Another purple-robed young man continued, “if someone can show that Shangguan Hao doesn’t have exceptional talents and doesn’t have the qualifications to live in Nine Heavens Hall, the Palace Master will retrieve his orders.”

“That makes sense!”

“If this man is not exceptional and his talents are nothing, Senior Liang, you can still get Nine Heavens Hall!”

“How about we take action?”

Many people spoke and suggested as killing intent flashed in their eyes. Lowly men from the Lower Plane were not worthy.

Upon hearing the crowd’s words, Senior Liang waved his hand and allowed energy to gush out of it and surround the group.

“How dare you say such things?” Senior Liang coldly shouted. In Deep Thousand Hall, anyone who murdered a fellow sect member would not be forgiven if the Palace Master came to know of it.

However, although Senior Liang had accused the group, a deep sigh was held in his eyes.

Killing Shangguan Hao was not possible. However, it was reasonable to cripple Shangguan Hao and cause him to lose his talents and hence Nine Heavens Hall.

“What ideas do you all have to get the Palace Master to take Nine Heavens Hall back?” Senior Liang stared at the group and asked.

“Senior Laing, this man’s cultivation rank is so low. We can do whatever we want as long as we don’t break the rules of Deep Thousand Hall. We have many ideas to kick him out of Nine Heavens Hall.”

“That’s right. The Palace Master gave Nine Heavens Hall to Shangguan Hao, he must have some exceptional talents. However, a mere Great Rotating Sacred Sword Primordial Spirit is nothing. We must show everyone that Shangguan Hao is nothing. By then, the Palace Master will have no choice but to take Nine Heavens Hall back.

“Senior Liang, leave this to us. We will return with good news!”

“…”

Many people reassured Senior Liang. All of them were True Deities whose cultivation ranks surpassed Shangguan Hao’s, so dealing with him would be a piece of cake.

“Mm! You guys can go ahead!” Senior Liang nodded. He naturally wouldn’t step into the matter personally.

He would be a laughing stock if he confronted an Empty God as a Rank 3 True Deity.

“Understood!” The group replied in unison.

“Wait!”

All of a sudden, Senior Liang raised his arm and warned, “Don’t act first. Let’s see if anyone else makes a move, if no one does, you guys can go ahead.

He was not the only person eyeing Nine Heavens Hall in Deep Thousand Hall. Many others were eyeing it too.

At this point, he wouldn’t take the initiative, but wait for others to do so.

This scene of Senior Liang discussing with his supporters did not only happen in the yard. Many others were annoyed by the sudden change of events.

Numerous groups talked about Su Mo, some out of curiosity, some out of jealousy, and others out of hatred.

Most disciples of Deep Thousand Hall had little understanding of those from the Lower Plane. After all, it had been a few thousand years since anyone arrived at the Acceptance Hall of Deep Thousand Hall.

In the past, those who arrived at Deep Thousand City would not remain at Deep Thousand City.

…

Inside the cultivation room, Su Mo sat with his eyes closed. He had already been in closed cultivation for half a month.

This half a month of cultivation was comparable to a year of cultivation in the Lower Plane and the speed of cultivation had exceeded Su Mo’s expectations.

At that point, the Great Rotating Sacred Sword Primordial Spirit was dancing wildly in his Elixir Field around his Sacred Elixir.

Both elements merged together strongly as thick Chaotic Energy rushed into the Primordial Spirit.

This merging was not the merging of the two elements, but a mysterious occurrence where the Primordial Spirit would be able to use the Sacred Elixir’s full strength even if it was a distance away.

A long while later, Su Mo opened his eyes and sighed deeply.

“The Sacred Elixir must become stronger!” Su Mo muttered to himself. If the Chaotic Energy in his Sacred Elixir was not thick enough, it would be difficult to break through to the Rank 4 Empty God Realm.

Although his cultivation speed was fast at Deity Plane, Su Mo was dissatisfied with himself.

His time here was not enough.

For safety purposes, he could not stay in Deep Thousand City for too long and he might not be able to become a True Deity before he had to leave.

In this half a month of cultivation, Su Mo had been thinking of ways to avoid Di Yihun.

Di Yihun was not stupid. Once the Celestial Spiritual Seal was gone, there would be a high chance that Di Yihun deduced that Su Mo would come to Deity Plane.

As such, Di Yihun would definitely prevent Su Mo from becoming stronger and would attack Su Mo as fast as he could.

As to how Di Yihun would make his move, the easiest method would be to conduct investigations at territories.

Any new people who came from Lower Plane would be investigated.

The moment Su Mo was investigated by Di Yihun, Su Mo was finished.

Su Mo was sure that Di Yihun was investigating already and it would be only a matter of time before Deep Thousand City is investigated.

Therefore, Di Yihun would not give him time to grow stronger and would make his move as soon as possible.

As to how Di Yihun would make his move, he would go by the easiest method, which was to investigate each territory.

Anywhere that people ascended from the Lower Plane would be investigated and Su Mo knew he was finished the moment Deep Thousand City was investigated.

Su Mo was sure that Di Yihun was making his move already and investigating Deep Thousand City would be only a matter of time.

Thankfully, the space in Deity Plane was tight, thus limiting the speed of a martial artist. Di Yihun would need more time before he reached Su Mo.

“I will leave once I break through to the Rank 4 Empty God Realm!”

Su Mo let out a long sigh. He had to leave regardless of whether to leave Great Xia region entirely or temporarily leave the place.

With that, Su Mo directed more Chaotic Energy into the seal marks around him.

Five Elemental Dark Force rolled out around the room and Su Mo began his cultivation again.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Right at that moment, a deep knocking sound came from the door and it sounded as though someone wanted to break down the palace door. Someone was releasing attacks on the defensive array around the palace.

Su Mo ignored the banging and continued with his cultivation.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

However, the knocking sound did not stop.
