Su Mo walked up the mountain although he could have flown over to look for the Sect Leader of Xuan Yu Sect. He felt that it would have been impudent of him if he had done so and the Sect Leader might not let him use the Space Teleportation Formation.
Thus, he planned to get into the Sect and look at the situation before doing anything.
“The heaven and the earth are the base. Go against the course and earn your credit. The yin and yang go back to their primary states of emptiness…!”
Before Su Mo had reached the Square, he heard some chanting sounds coming out of the Square and someone was explaining the insights of martial arts.
Very quickly, Su Mo reached the border of the Square and he saw that the Square was huge. An elder was on a high platform, explaining to the disciples.
The elder was thin and he was wearing a long-sleeve shirt. He looked knowledgeable and had a strong aura. It was apparent that he was a martial artist of the Martial Honored Realm.
A big group of disciples were sitting cross-legged below the platform, listening attentively to him.
This must be the Sect Leader!
Su Mo muttered to himself. He tried his best to withdraw his aura and activated his Invisible Fighting Soul and stepped carefully onto the Square.
Su Mo looked at the elder on the high platform and pondered for a while. Su Mo intended to look for the elder after he had given his speech and asked him to allow Su Mo to use the Space Teleportation Formation.
After all, there were too many people at the moment. Su Mo was an outsider and it would be impertinent of him to walk into the Sect and ask the elder to let him use the Space Teleportation Formation.
By doing so, Su Mo would be showing disrespect to Xuan Yu Sect and the Sect Leader would definitely turn him down in front of his disciples.
If the elder did not do so, he would lose his dignity as he was the most powerful person in Xuan Yu Sect.
Su Mo then walked cautiously to one side of the Square to wait for him.
At that instant, the elder suddenly stopped talking and looked in Su Mo’s direction.
Have I been discovered? Su Mo was alarmed. His cultivation level had reached the Peak of Rank 7 Martial Emperor Realm and he thought that by activating the Invisible Fighting Soul, he could hide himself from a Rank 1 Martial Honored Realm martial artist. He did not expect to be discovered so soon.
“Friend, since you are here, stop being sneaky. Why not show yourself!” The elder said as he looked at the spot where Su Mo was standing.
In actual fact, he had not discovered Su Mo. He had only sensed some strange fluctuations at the space where Su Mo was standing.
When the disciples of Xuan Yu Sect heard what the elder had said, they were shocked and looked at the spot where Su Mo was standing but they did not see anyone.
Su Mo smiled wryly when he heard that. The elder had discovered him. He could hide himself from a Rank 9 Martial Emperor Realm martial artist but he could not hide away from a Martial Honored Realm martial artist.
Since he had been discovered, there was no point hiding!
“Greetings, elder. My name is Shangguan Hao!” Su Mo cupped his fist at the elder after he withdrew his Invisible Fighting Soul and revealed himself.
The moment Su Mo revealed himself, the people looked sharply at him.
They treated any outsiders who had barged into their Sect with animosity.
“Shangguan Hao?”
When the elder heard Su Mo’s name, he squinted his eyes and sized him up. His face turned cold when he realized that Su Mo’s cultivation level was only at the Peak of Martial Emperor Realm.
“Young man, why did you barge into our Xuan Yu Sect? What is your motive?” The elder shouted and he looked at Su Mo coldly.
“Elder, I would like to borrow your Space Teleportation Formation!”
Su Mo replied. Having said that, he added, “Of course, I am willing to pay for the service. I will pay 10,000 Lower Spiritual Crystals!”
10,000 Lower Spiritual Crystals was already a hefty sum. After all, it did not require many Lower Spiritual Crystals to activate the Space Teleportation Formation for each usage.
“You wish to use the Space Teleportation Formation for 10,000 Lower Spiritual Crystals?” The elder raised his brows when he heard that. Star Xuanwei was located in a remote place. Many people had come to them to use the Space Teleportation Formation and the amount that Su Mo had offered was a hefty sum.
However, Su Mo had barged into their Sect and that was unpardonable. If Su Mo wanted to use the Space Teleportation Formation, he would be letting Su Mo off too lightly at a charge of only 10,000 Lower Spiritual Crystals.
“Young man, how dare you barge into our sect? You are being disrespectful to us. Do you think that you can use our Space Teleportation Formation for 10,000 Lower Spiritual Crystals?” The elder sneered.
“In that case, why don’t you name a price, elder!” Su Mo said. As long as the elder did not ask for the sky, Su Mo would accede to his request. After all, Su Mo was asking a favor from him.
“100,000 Lower Spiritual Crystals. If not, you can forget about using our Space Teleportation Formation!” The elder replied coldly. He intended to extort Su Mo.
He had thought of capturing Su Mo as Su Mo had barged into his sect. If he did not do so, his reputation would be affected.
However, he saw that Su Mo had reached the Peak of Rank 7 Martial Emperor Realm at such a young age and he must be a disciple from a certain main force in the Ancientspirit Galaxy. Although he was the most powerful person in this star, his group was nothing in the eyes of the forces in the Ancientspirit Galaxy. Thus, the elder controlled himself as he did not want to get into unnecessary trouble.
Although he did not strike at Su Mo, he wanted to extort him for Spiritual Crystals.
“100,000!” Su Mo frowned when he heard the amount. He had not expected the elder to ask for such a hefty sum.
The elder only needed a few hundred Lower Spiritual Crystals to activate the Space Teleportation Formation. Even if the distance was long, it would have been a tidy sum to ask for a few thousand Lower Spiritual Crystals. However, the elder had asked for 100,000!
“Why? Do you not have that much with you?”
The elder sneered when he saw Su Mo frowning. The aura in his body surged and a strong oppression swirled toward Su Mo. The elder then said in a domineering voice, “If you do not have 100,000 Lower Spiritual Crystals, you will not be able to use our Space Teleportation Formation and on top of that, I will punish you for barging into our sect!”
When Su Mo heard what the elder had said, he squinted his eyes and looked coldly at him. This old man is ridiculous. He has asked for 100,000 Lower Spiritual Crystals. This is daylight robbery! Even if I had that amount, I would not give it to him!
“I will pay, at the most, 20,000 Lower Spiritual Crystals. Nothing more than that!” Su Mo said flatly. He looked indifferent under the oppression of the elder.
“In that case, don’t blame me!” The elder stood and his imposing aura shot up to the sky. It then swirled out and was about to strike at Su Mo.
In actual fact, the elder had no intention of capturing Su Mo. He simply wanted Su Mo to submit to him and he knew that Su Mo had 100,000 Lower Spiritual Crystals with him.
Although 100,000 Lower Spiritual Crystals was a hefty sum, it would not pose a problem to most of the Rank 7 Martial Emperor Realm martial artists.
Even if Su Mo did not have 100,000 Lower Spiritual Crystals, he should have 70,000 to 80,000! In any case, he wanted to rip a hefty sum off of Su Mo.
When Su Mo saw it, his face turned cold. He had been behaving politely towards the elder but the elder had failed to appreciate it. In that case, he had to do it by force.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
Just as they were about to fight, there were air-rending sounds in the sky from far off and three powerful figures darted across the horizon and came toward them.
