The elders spoke to Reverend Jin Wu, with Reverend Tian Hua echoing what they had said occasionally.

They conversed with one another as they waited for Su Mo’s arrival.

However, after having waited for 20 minutes, Su Mo was nowhere to be seen.

“Elder Jin Wu, where is your disciple? Is he not in Palmy City?” Someone asked.

“He is around!” Elder Jin Wu replied as he shook his head. He knew that Wu Shan had returned a while ago as he could sense anyone who entered Jin Wu Mansion.

“Why is he not here?” Reverend Tian Jue asked with a frown. He was not afraid that Reverend Jin Wu was up to some mischief as anyone who attempted to keep the Dosu Tree for himself would be doomed.

Reverend Jin Wu used his Holy Senses to look around and he noticed Lin Ya standing outside the secret chamber of Wu Shan’s palace.

Reverend Jin Wu realized that Wu Shan must have consumed a Dosu Fruit and he was trying to comprehend the Rules to break through the shackles of the realm. Thus, Lin Ya did not disturb him.

“Wu Shan is cultivating in seclusion. Please wait for a while,” Reverend Jin Wu said.

When the elders heard what Reverend Jin Wu had said, their faces darkened.

They felt humiliated.

All of them were Chief Elders of the various branches and they were at the Great Completion Supreme Realm, However, they had to wait for a Rank 9 True God to come out of his seclusion!

That was a great insult to them.

If Wu Shan were to get out of his seclusion after five years or more, would they be expected to wait for him for that number of years?

Even Reverend Tian Hua’s face twitched. He felt that Reverend Jin Wu had gone overboard. By asking the Chief Elders to wait, Reverend Jin Wu had offended many people and that was not a good sign for Palmy Branch.

“Elder Jin Wu, you have gone overboard!”

“This is ridiculous!”

“Please get Wu Shan to hand over the Dosu Tree. If not, don’t blame us for forcing our way through!”

Many elders commented unhappily. As it concerned the Dosu Tree, the Headquarters would not put the blame on them even if they got into a fight.

“In this case, come with me!” Elder Jin Wu said with a sigh as he did not want to offend so many Chief Elders. He stood up and headed toward Su Mo’s palace.

‘When the elders saw it, they stood up and followed suit.

Soon, they came to Su Mo’s palace. As there were more than 300 Chief Elders, they filled up every corner of the small palace.

“Teacher, Junior Brother is cultivating. He should be at the crucial moment of breaking through the shackles!” Lin Ya told Reverend Jin Wu when she saw the elders standing behind him.

Although Lin Ya had directed her speech to Reverend Jin Wu, she meant for the Chief Elders to listen.

She wanted the Chief Elders to know that Wu Shan was cultivating in seclusion and she did not ask him to get out as he was at the crucial moment of breaking through the realm.

“Hmm!” Reverend Jin Wu nodded when he heard what Lin Ya had said.

“Elder Jin Wu, get him to come out now!” Reverend Tian Jue said loudly.

“Alright!”

Elder Jin Wu nodded and called out, “Wu Shan, how much longer do you need?”

Elder Jin Wu’s voice traveled into the secret chamber through the stone door like an invisible sword.

He did not ask Su Mo to get out of the secret chamber but instead, he asked Su Mo how long he needed.

“Soon!”

Shortly, Su Mo’s voice resounded from the secret chamber.

“Elders, you heard him. Wu Shan has said that he will soon be out. Please wait for a while!” Elder Jin Wu said as he looked at the Chief Elders.

The Chief Elders frowned and acceded to Elder Jin Wu’s request as they did not want to fall out with Elder Jin Wu over a small matter.

Thus, all the Chief Elders started to wait patiently for Wu Shan.

They waited for another hour.

“Elder Jin Wu, it’s been one hour. Can you ask Wu Shan how long he needs?” Another person asked.

“That’s right. My time is precious. I don’t have so much time to wait for him!” Another elder said.

“Alright!” Elder Jin Wu asked Su Mo again when he could come out of seclusion.

“Soon!” Su Mo’s voice resounded from the secret chamber again.

‘When the elders heard Su Mo’s reply, their faces darkened. One hour ago, he had told them that he would soon be out. However, he was still giving the same reply.

“Wu Shan, come out now! We don’t have the time to wait for you!” Reverend Tian Jue shouted angrily. His voice was loud as thunder and it caused the entire palace to shake.

However, there was no response from the secret chamber and that enraged Reverend Tian Jue.

“Tian Jue, stop it!” Reverend Jin Wu shouted coldly and said, “If Wu Shan gives way to an outburst of energy, I will not let you off.”

“Jin Wu, this guy is making a fool out of us!” Reverend Tian Jue argued with Reverend Jin Wu, looking unhappy.

“Wu Shan is cultivating and he must have consumed a Dosu Fruit. He is trying to have a breakthrough and this is a crucial moment for him. You’d better not mess it up!” Reverend Jin Wu said angrily.

“Mess it up? A Rank 9 True God is unlikely to give way to an outburst of energy that easily!” Reverend Tian Jue sneered. He believed that it would be impossible for a Rank 9 True God to lose control of himself under normal circumstances.

Rumble!

suddenly, there was a rumble and the stone door of the secret chamber opened slowly.

Su Mo walked out of the secret chamber.

“Greetings, Teacher!” Su Mo walked out of the secret chamber, looking pale. He shut the door and bowed at Reverend Jin Wu. As for Ling Chang, she was still inside the secret chamber.

suddenly, everyone fixed their gaze on Su Mo.

Although Su Mo was well known in all the branches, only a few elders had seen him at Reverend Tian Hua’s birthday banquet.

Most of them had not met him.

The elders sized Su Mo up as they were curious about his strength.

However, other than the strong aura that Su Mo possessed and the fact that he had cultivated the Chaotic Power Source, they did not find him extraordinary.

“Wu Shan, what has happened to you?” Reverend Jin Wu asked with a frown when he saw Su Mo’s pale look.

“Teacher, I was about to break through the realm when Elder Tian Jue shouted. That has caused my Qi and blood to flow in the reverse direction and I have suffered internal injuries. It has resulted in my failure to break through the realm,” Su Mo said solemnly.

In fact, Su Mo was spouting nonsense. He had not reached the state for him to break through the realm and he needed more time to do so.

He had made that statement deliberately to blackmail Reverend Tian Jue.

After all, back then at the birthday banquet, Su Mo had almost been killed by Reverend Tian Jue. He had to pay a price for behaving presumptuously.

“What?”

‘When Reverend Jin Wu heard what Su Mo had said, his face tuned pale. He turned to look at Reverend Tian Jue immediately and roared, “Tian Jue, see what you have done!”

“This…!”

Reverend Tian Jue’s face twitched. He did not believe what Su Mo had said. He had not used much strength when he had shouted earlier, and it was impossible for him to inflict any injuries on Su Mo.

Moreover, other than his pale look, Su Mo’s aura was steady and full of vigor and he did not look injured.

“Wu Shan, don’t make false accusations to me. I won’t be fooled by you!” Reverend Tian Jue said coldly as he suppressed his anger.

“False accusations?”

‘When Su Mo heard what Reverend Tian Jue had said, he sneered, “I have consumed a Dosu Fruit and at the critical moment when I was about to break through the shackles, your thunderous voice affected me. I have failed to have a breakthrough because of you. However, you are telling me that I am

making a false accusation against you!”

“The truth is, you were unable to have a breakthrough!” Reverend Tian Jue sneered. Although the Dosu Fruit could help to ease the shackles, it could not make one have a breakthrough. It merely made it easier for one to do so.

“Tian Jue, my disciple has failed to break through his realm because of you. If you agree to compensate him, I will let the matter rest.” Reverend Jin Wu said, looking unhappy.

“Jin Wu!”

Reverend Tian Jue was furious when he heard what Reverend Jin Wu had said. He shouted, “How dare you gang up with Wu Shan to blackmail me!”

Reverend Tian Jue was utterly enraged.

His disciple, Zang Renjie, had been killed and the culprit was attempting to blackmail him!

“Are you unwilling to compensate him?” Reverend Jin Wu asked flatly.

“No, never!” Reverend Tian Jue replied firmly as he shook his head. It should be the other way around. Wu Shan should be the one to compensate him!

“Alright. I shall go to the Alliance Headquarters tomorrow to report this matter to Buddha Sunyata. I will tell him that you have oppressed my disciple and ask him to be the judge.”

“You… Jin Wu, you’ve gone too far!”

Reverend Tian Jue was fuming with anger and he almost exploded. Everybody knew that Buddha Sunyata was Jin Wu’s Teacher, and it was apparent that Jin Wu was using his Teacher to coerce him.

Buddha Sunyata was in the Alliance Headquarters, and everyone knew that Reverend Jin Wu had his Teacher to back him up.

However, Reverend Tian Jue was not as fortunate to have a Teacher like him.

There were 36 Sovereigns in the entire Ancient Cloud Star Alliance and the Sovereigns had only more than 100 disciples in total.

Most of the Chief Elders from the various branches either did not have a Teacher or they had already surpassed their Teachers.

That was the reason Reverend Jin Wu could remain calm when he was confronted by the various Chief Elders.

That was also the reason the Chief Elders had observed their mannerisms when they were at Jin Wu Mansion.

At that instant, the Chief Elders had different expressions on their faces. They were smart. They knew that Reverend Jin Wu was out to blackmail Reverend Tian Jue.

Moreover, he was doing it openly with no intention of hiding it!

$u Mo almost burst out laughing when he saw it. He knew that he would not be able to break through the realm within such a short period of time. He had chosen to stay in the secret chamber as he had not fully comprehended the Life and Death Rule.

He was out as he had successfully comprehended the Life and Death Rule and had reached the Rank 1 Great Completion Realm!

Su Mo had intended to make fun of Reverend Tian Jue, but he had not expected his Teacher to play along with him and blackmail Reverend Tian Jue.

He was gloating within.

In fact, Su Mo was not afraid of offending Reverend Tian Jue. He knew that he had already offended Reverend Tian Jue when he had killed Zang Renjie, and he had to be wary of him..
