Chapter 2527: Delusionary Array
Translator: Larbre Studio Editor: Larbre Studio
The people outside Shen Kun Small World were still looking at the situation in the Small World.
When they saw Su Mo, they were surprised that he had escaped.
Did Su Mo manage to escape as Prince Gu Mo has been defeated, or has the Eighth City been destroyed?
Everyone started to speculate over the reason.
There was no expression on Di Yihun’s face. However, an indistinct look of disappointment flashed across his eyes when he saw that Prince Gu Mo had failed to capture Su Mo.
In that case, Di Yihun would have to depend on Tu Ying and Young Master Yan. However, the two of them had not taken any action and Di Yihun wondered if they had not found an appropriate time to do so.
In any case, Di Yihun did not pin any hopes on them. Given the strength of Tu Ying and Young Master Yan, they would be unable to defeat Su Mo.
Since they could not capture Su Mo or kill him in the Thousand Selection Fight, they had to move on to Plan B.
Di Yihun was determined not to let Su Mo return to Sky Dragon Court. If he were to miss the opportunity, he would never have the chance to do it.
Mo Changfeng, the Grandmaster of Ancient Demon State, looked disappointed. He had high hopes for Prince Gu Mo, but instead of capturing Su Mo, Prince Gu Mo had been eliminated from the Thousand Selection Fight.
The First Elder and the men from the Dragon Tribe secretly heaved a sigh of relief. They thought that Su Mo had met with misfortune but he had managed to get away unscathed.
Swoosh!
The entrance to Shen Kun Small World remained open to allow the disciples who had been eliminated to get out. At that instant, Long Teng flew out of Shen Kun Small World in a flash.
After Long Teng got out, he walked toward the Dragon Tribe and quietly looked at the scene in the Small World that was screened on the cloud in the sky.
Long Teng had not released Prince Gu Mo as he had other plans in mind.
“Eh?”
When the people saw Long Teng but not Prince Gu Mo, they were surprised.
“Long Teng, where is our Prince?” Mo Changfeng asked loudly.
“No idea!” Long Teng shook his head.
“What?”
Mo Changfeng was furious when he heard Long Teng’s reply. He questioned him, “Earlier on, you pursued our Prince. Now that you are out, our Prince is still nowhere to be seen. How can you not know where he is!?”
Mo Changfeng did not believe Long Teng. Since the Eighth City had been destroyed and Prince Gu Mo had been eliminated, he should be out of Shen Kun Small World.
“Am I supposed to lie to you and tell you that I know where he is when I have no idea about it at all?” Long Teng asked Mo Changfeng calmly.
“You…!” Mo Changfeng was dumbstruck when Long Teng threw back the question at him. He took a deep breath and did not flare up.
Although Prince Gu Mo was not out, he might not have fallen into any danger. He might have lost his way in the void.
After the Thousand Selection Fight had ended, Mo Changfeng would go and look for him.
The various forces did not give much thought to it. Under normal circumstances, Long Teng and Su Mo did not have the ability to hurt Prince Gu Mo.
…
In Shen Kun Small World.
“Alright! In this case, let’s discuss how we can defeat Ninth City!” Tu Ying said after seeing that Su Mo and the rest had agreed with him.
“Young Master Ling is good at setting up arrays. The Ninth City must be full of danger and it will not be easy to destroy it!” Flaming Devil Ghost Sage said.
“What shall we do?” Gongsun Changjue asked. They could not do anything about it if the men in Ninth City refused to get out.
“Shall we try to destroy the array externally?” Flaming Devil Ghost Sage asked.
“Alright, let’s do it!” Su Mo replied. They had to give it a try at all costs. They would not enter Ninth City unless they were left with no choice.
The group of them flew toward Ninth City together with approximately 100 people from Seventh City whom Tu Ying had gathered.
Around 200 people started to attack Ninth City fiercely and various forms of attacks flooded the area.
However, all the attacks plunged into Ninth City and did not stir up any commotion.
It was because there was a special array around the city wall of Ninth City that had prevented it from being destroyed.
The people stopped attacking the array after a while as it remained immovable.
“This is strange!” Su Mo looked grave. However, he was not too worried about it. After all, Hun Tianling from the Chaotic Tribe was in Ninth City. Even if he won, he would not pose a threat to Su Mo.
The Chaotic Lord had told Su Mo that he would open paths for him. He would let Su Mo go down to the Lower Plane instead of Di Yihun.
Even if it was so, Su Mo wanted to defeat Ninth City.
Even if Ninth City were to win the fight, no one could guarantee that Hun Tianling would get hold of the token in Tenth City.
It would be a disaster if the other forces were to get hold of the token.
Thus, Su Mo had to defeat Ninth City so that he could be in control.
“What shall we do?”
“This array is foolproof!”
“There’s no way for us to break in!”
All of them looked pale. They were curious about the array around Ninth City as it was mysterious.
“Gentlemen, shall we gather everyone and charge into the city to fight it out with them?” Someone suggested.
The minute all of them heard the suggestion, they went silent. That would mean going all in.
It would be great if they were to win the fight, but if they lost, all of them would be eliminated.
Su Mo looked grave. Ninth City seemed adamant to take on the defensive position. If they did not get in, they would have to play the waiting game.
Ninth City would only start to act when the few cities had fought amongst themselves and depleted their strength.
In that case, it would be less likely for Su Mo’s teams to win. Ninth City was merely waiting to reap their harvest.
It would be better for them to gather everybody’s strength to break into Ninth City. With so many top powers around, they might stand a chance to win Ninth City.
“Gentlemen, what do you think?” Su Mo asked as he looked around.
“Is it too risky?”
“I agree. Let’s get in and fight it out with Ninth City!”
“With so many of us around, we should be able to destroy the array!”
“This is not a good idea. If we can’t destroy the array, all of us will be eliminated!”
“…”
Everyone started to comment. Some agreed, and some disagreed. However, most of them could not make up their minds.
Su Mo was at a loss when he saw the situation. If they chose to wait, he had no idea how long they would have to do so.
“Su Mo, what do you think?” Ye Lingtian asked.
“Let’s fight it out with them!” Su Mo replied. He had no intention to go on waiting. The men from Ninth City would not get out of their city unless the men from the cities outside had fought among themselves.
“In this case, let’s charge into Ninth City!” Ye Lingtian said.
“I guess that’s the only way!”
“This fight will determine our fate!”
When everyone saw that Su Mo and Ye Lingtian had decided to charge into Ninth City, they went along with them. They had a big group of people with them and all of them were powerful. They stood a chance of winning the fight.
“Go and get everyone from your respective cities to gather here!” Su Mo instructed.
Before anyone could take any action, the people who were in First City, Second City, and Third City came out voluntarily as they had been observing the situation.
Everyone from the three cities gathered together and there were more than 200 of them.
“Come! Let’s get into the city!” Su Mo waved his hand and took the lead to fly into Ninth City, the rest of them following suit.
The minute they entered the city, the scene changed all of a sudden. They found themselves on a vast piece of land.
The land stretched beyond the horizon and it was filled with wildflowers and withered plants.
“Be careful! This is a Delusionary Array!” Someone who knew about arrays shouted out immediately to warn everybody.
After all of them had landed on the ground, they trod cautiously.
Some of them who were well versed in arrays started to look around to find a way to break the Delusionary Array.
Rumble!
Suddenly, there was a rumble from afar and the ground started to quake. It was as though a big army was moving toward them on their mounts.
“What is that?”
Someone cried out.. All of them lifted their heads and looked over, and they were dumbstruck.
