Chapter 2327: How Could This Be?
Translator: Larbre Studio Editor: Larbre Studio
With the help of the Enlightenment Diving Pill, Su Mo’s comprehension ability increased hugely and he immediately began to comprehend Devouring Rules.
Su Mo’s enlightenment was originally high and with the help of the Divine Elixir, his comprehension ability increased further.
In just a year, the Devouring Rules increased from the Grand Completion Realm of Rank 1 to the Initial Stage of Rank 2.
Su Mo absorbed himself in comprehension, forgetting about the world around him as he raised his understand of Devouring Rules.
At this point, Murong Leili who had been cultivating, slowly opened his eyes.
“He isn’t here yet?” Murong Leili was at a loss for words. He had not expected Xu Yan to be slow. A long time had passed and Xu Yan had not arrived at Tenth Holy Hall yet.
“Brother, is Xu Yan still at Ninth Holy Hall?” Murong Leili asked a tall young man beside Gongsun Jia..
This man was a friend of Gongsun Jia who had arrived at the Time Holy Hall much later than them and had just comprehended the Rules of Time in Tenth Holy Hall.
“He isn’t there!” The tall young man opened his eyes and shook his head. When he comprehended the Rules of Time in Ninth Holy Hall, Xu Yan wasn’t there.
“Not there? What is going on?” Murong Leili frowned. That was strange, Xu Yan had disappeared!
Murong Leili could not figure things out but he could not be bothered to ponder the matter.
A few moments later, Murong Leli glanced at Su Mo and his heart hardened.
That man seemed to be Qin Yun and once the nine days were over, Murong Leili decided to investigate.
With that, Murong Leili went back to cultivating.
Time flew by quickly as Su Mo cultivated.
Su Mo absorbed himself in his comprehension and ten years of time passed by in a flash.
In addition to the time he took to raise his cultivation rank, nineteen years of time passed.
This day, Su Mo sensed time returning to normal and he opened his eyes.
Grand Completion Realm of Rank 2!
A bright light flashed through Su Mo’s eyes. With close to ten years of time, his Devouring Rules had raised from the Rank 1 Grand Completion Realm to the Rank 2 Grand Completion Realm.
At that point, many people in Tenth Holy Hall ended their cultivation and prepared to leave.
Step step step!
Right at that point, Murong Leili strode towards Su Mo and coldly glared at Su Mo.
“Is there anything wrong?” Su Mo rose and asked in a low tone.
“Qin Yun, did you think I wouldn’t recognize you?” Murong Leili smirked.
“Qin Yun? Who is Qin Yun?” Su Mo asked in a confused manner. At the same time, he scoffed inwardly. Murong Leili was testing him.
However, Su Mo wasn’t afraid. With his cultivation rank now, there was no one he feared.
“Is that so?” Murong Leili laughed lightly before he shouted, “Take my blow!”
With that, Murong Leili did not hesitate before he slapped his hand forward.
In an instant, lightning flashed as bright white light shot out of Murong Leili’s palm.
This attack wasn’t meant to kill, but Murong Leili wanted to check if the suspicious man was Qin Yun.
As such, the palm wasn’t meant to kill Su Mo and Murong Leili had only used about twenty percent of his total strength.
Since both parties were closed, Su Mo could not dodge the attack and could only face it head on.
Shoosh!
Su Mo raised his palm as well and slapped it against Murong Leili strongly.
Bam!
A loud explosive sound rang through the hall as strong forces spread out in all directions.
Murong Leili was instantly thrown back and he smashed into the wall at the back of the Time Hall, much to everyone’s surprise. All eyes bulged open as the bystanders took in what had happened.
Gongsun Jia could not believe what he saw. Although he could see that Murong Leili had not used his full strength, he could not have been forced backward by a Rank 2 martial artist.
“Goodbye!” Su Mo coldly smirked as his body flashed and he dashed out of Tenth Time Holy Hall.
He did not want to battle Murong Leili because he knew that Gongsun Jia and his group of friends would step in.
They were all strong, and Su Mo did not want to battle them.
Most importantly, Su Mo knew that Gongsun Jia was a man from Eternal Shrine and Eternal Shrine was a dominant power in Spatiotemporal City. They could not be provoked.
“He is Qin Yun!” Murong Leili shouted out angrily as he saw Su Mo leaving.
“What?”
“He is Qin Yun!”
Gongsun Jia and the group of others exclaimed in surprise. That man was Qin Yun.
“Go after him!”
Without hesitation, Gongsun Jia’s body flashed and he chased after Su Mo.
Murong Leili also dashed forward. He had not been injured.
Su Mo’s little blow did nothing to him with his cultivation rank. He had been too careless and was forced backward because he had not used his full strength.
Gongsun Jia, Murong Leili and the group chased Su Mo from the Tenth to the Ninth Time Holy Hall.
However, the moment they flew out of Spatiotemporal City, they were stunned as they couldn’t spot Su Mo.
A large crowd of people were gathered outside Spatiotemporal City and a large mass were rushing out of the Space Gate and Time Gate while a large group were entering it too.
“How can he run so fast?” Murong Leili hovered in midair, allowing his Spiritual Senses to spread out as his face hardened.
Qin Yun really could run if he disappeared in the blink of an eye!
“Brother Murong, don’t worry. He won’t be able to leave the city!” Gongsun Jia reassured him. It was important that they checked through everyone who leaves the city.
“Mm!” Murong Leili nodded his head before he cupped his fists towards Gongsun Jia, “Thank you Brother Gongsun. Once this is done, I will express my thanks to you generously!”
“It is alright, this is nothing!” Gongsun Jia smiled as he waved his hand dismissively. Establishing good ties with a top talent meant he could not be calculative with small matters like this.
“However, that Qin Yun is strong. He actually managed to force you back!” Gongsun Jia frowned.
“I wasn’t sure whether it was him before and used only twenty percent of my strength. If I used my full strength, I could have killed him with one blow!” Murong Leili’s face darkened.
As a top talent, he was ashamed about being forced backward by a martial artist at the Rank 2 cultivation realm.
“Hehe, I understand!” Gongsun Jia smiled. He naturally knew that Murong Leili had not used his full strength.
Below the Time Gate, Su Mo stared at Murong Leili and the group in the air for a brief moment before he left.
At that point, he had changed his appearance and aura again.
After he entered Ninth Holy Hall from Tenth Holy Hall, he had changed his aura and appearance and not left immediately.
As such, he left Time Gate after Murong Leili and the group left it.
Su Mo strode out of Void City swiftly.
There were many people exiting the city. Since many people who entered Spatiotemporal City came from many regions, they had to leave Spatiotemporal City.
Not long later, Su Mo arrived at the southern gate of the city only to frown upon seeing the long queue in front of it.
“What is going on?” Su Mo frowned and his heart sank upon taking a closer look.
There were many guards before the city gate checking through everyone who left the city. Among them were guards and Su Mo couldn’t even estimate what their cultivation ranks were.
“Everyone leaving the city must be investigated!”
Before the city gates, a middle-aged man in silver armor ordered. The auras around him was terrifying and it filled all directions.
Although many were confused by the sudden orders, they did not resist or complain.
The crowd queued up in an orderly manner, accepting the investigation. The guards even checked their weapons and Spacial devices.
Not only that, the guards also checked the cultivation arts practices by the people.
“How could this be?” Su Mo’s eyebrows furrowed together although he knew the answer. The scene there was ordered by Murong Leili and Gongsun Jia.
It was no wonder they had left Spatiotemporal City for a while earlier on, they went to the city gates to make these arrangements.
With that, Su Mo turned and walked towards a guest house.
