Chapter 2703 You Are Good
The minute Reverend Tian Jue made that comment, many people started to support him. “That’s right. That’s being fair!”
“I agree to put the 19 tokens back into the Star Beast.”
“I agree too!”
Many elders commented and supported Reverend Tian Jue’s suggestion. After all, Su Mo had obtained 20 tokens and their disciples would have a slim chance of getting hold of the rest of the tokens.
The only way would be to place the 19 tokens back to the Star Beast so that their disciples would stand a higher chance.
Su Mo’s face darkened when he heard what they had said. Those people were shameless.
The rules had been set that one would get hold of the tokens based on his abilities. He had obtained 20 tokens as he was capable. What was wrong with that!
“I don’t agree!”
Reverend Jin Wu’s expression changed. He immediately cupped his fist at Tai Ying Sovereign and said, “Those who are capable get to own the tokens and the rules remain. My disciple managed to get hold of more tokens, which proves that he is capable. Why must he return the 19 tokens?”.
Reverend Jin Wu raised his objection. First of all, Reverend Tian Jue’s suggestion was against his principles, and secondly, it was beneficial to him that Su Mo had obtained more tokens.
“I don’t agree either!”
Priest Tian Hua said and immediately took sides with Reverend Jin Wu. Although he was not of the same mind as Reverend Jin Wu, he would not give up anything that could benefit him.
Since Su Mo had obtained 20 tokens, his two disciples, Quan Ruhai and Chang Yi should be given one token each!
“The two of you will disagree for sure!”
Reverend Tian Jue sneered and said derisively, “Wu Shan is from Palmy Branch. He has 20 tokens with him and he would definitely give them to the men from Palmy Branch.”
“Tai Ying Sovereign, please say a word!”
“Tai Ying Sovereign, please help to see to it!”
“Sovereign!”
The rest of the elders cupped their fists at Tai Ying Sovereign. They knew that it was up to Tai Ying Sovereign to make the decision.
Tai Ying Sovereign stood on the Star Beast’s head with a majestic look. He was like a god that had descended from the heavens.
He lowered his eyes to look at Su Mo. After sizing Su Mo up, he nodded and said, “You… are good!” Having said that, Tai Ying Sovereign stopped looking at Su Mo and said impassively, “The rules remain. Since he has obtained more tokens, he can give them to whoever he wants.”
When Su Mo heard what Tai Ying Sovereign had said, he heaved a sigh of relief. Tai Ying Sovereign was someone who abided by his principle. If he had changed his mind, Su Mo’s efforts would have been in vain.
However, Tai Ying Sovereign seemed to have seen through him earlier and Su Mo wondered if he had discovered the Vastness Purple Qi
Since Su Mo had the jade pendant that Buddha Sunyata had given to him to conceal the Vastness Purple Qi Primordial Spirit, he believed that Tai Ying Sovereign had not discovered it.
Reverend Jin Wu and Priest Tian Hua looked at each other and smiled. They were glad that Tai Ying Sovereign had kept his word.
With 20 tokens, it meant that 20 disciples could become disciples of the Headquarters.
While Reverend Jin Wu and Priest Tian Hua were glad, Reverend Tian Jue and the other elders were unhappy.
However, since Tai Ying Sovereign was in charge of the Selection, they had to accept his arrangement.
“Hoho! Wu Shan, you have brought glory to Palmy Branch!” Priest Tian Hua told Su Mo with a broad smile.
“Thank you, Elder Tian Hua!” Su Mo smiled. However, he found it weird. What Priest Tian Hua had said did not sound right.
He had obtained the 20 tokens for his own selfish reasons, but it had turned out that he was bringing glory to Palmy Branch!
“Wu Shan, I have worked with Jin Wu for many years and I have never seen someone as talented as you. Back then, I wanted to recruit you as my disciple, but Jin Wu beat me to it!”
Priest Tian Hua shook his head and said with a sigh, “However, Jin Wu and I think highly of you. Although you are not my disciple, I place high hopes in you.” Priest Tian Hua continued talking to Su Mo and it made Su Mo speechless.
Su Mo knew that Priest Tian Hua had been trying to pull strings so that he could get hold of the tokens for his two disciples, Quan Ruhai and Chang Yi.
However, Su Mo merely smiled and pretended to be ignorant of his intention.
When Priest Tian Hua saw that Su Mo did not respond to him, he frowned and stopped talking to him.
He started to chat with Reverend Jin Wu.
Su Mo was glad when he saw it and he slowly landed on the ground.
The Selection had not ended, and he decided to sit on the floor to meditate.
Swoosh!
Suddenly, a beautiful lady flew out of the Star Beast’s mouth, and it was none other than Ling
Chang.
When Ling Chang got out, she landed beside Su Mo.
“Have you succeeded?”
Ling Chang asked curiously as she looked at Su Mo with her captivating eyes. She knew that Su Mo had obtained 20 tokens, but she had no idea if he had brought them out.
When she saw that Su Mo was not injured, she knew the answer.
“Yes!” Su Mo opened his eyes and replied with a smile.
“You are amazing!” Ling Chang smiled broadly at Su Mo and flew toward Reverend Jin Wu.
Su Mo was about to pass a token to Ling Chang but he held back when he saw that Ling Chang had left.
He continued with his meditation.
While Su Mo was meditating outside, there was bloodshed in the Star Beast’s body.
29 tokens had appeared at the same time, and since Su Mo had taken 20, the disciples had to put up a fierce fight over the remaining nine tokens.
Many of them had died and it was a terrible scene.
There were too many people wresting over nine tokens, no individual could fend against the multitude.
The timing and conditions had to be right and one had to be lucky and capable in order to get hold of a token.
Those who had obtained the tokens ran with all their might, and some were killed. After another person had gotten ahold of the token, he started to run for his life. People were killing one another at every corner of the Star Beast’s body and it was chaotic.
It was noteworthy that Ba Shiyu and Shi Zixuan had not obtained a token.
The two of them had been severely injured by Fu Qian and the Supremes. With so many disciples fighting over the tokens, the two of them did not stand a chance at all.
However, they did not give up. They continued to pursue the disciples who had obtained the tokens.
There were many people in the Star Beast’s sea of consciousness as well.
Murong Qi was still around, and Di Yihun had arrived. Zi Xiao had left and returned again.
Many of them had attempted to use various means and Super Powers to kill the Beast Soul but to no avail, and they had started to get impatient.
“How are your injuries?” Di Yihun asked Zi Xiao as he stood on the Star Beast.
“I am fine. Although Su Mo is powerful, he is not capable of killing me!” Zi Xiao replied. His face was white as a sheet as he was severely injured.
He was full of hatred for Su Mo.
Back then, Su Mo had merely been a small fry in his eyes. However, his strength had surpassed his. He would have been killed by Su Mo if not for his Life-and-Death Primordial Spirit.
“Do you have a way to kill the Beast Soul?” Di Yihun asked. He posed the question to Zi Xiao as he had made several futile attempts to kill the Beast Soul.
“I have thought of a way but I am not sure if it is feasible!” Zi Xiao replied. He did not have much confidence but he felt that it was worth trying.
“Alright. Just do your best!” Di Yihun said. He had obtained a token and he would definitely get into the Headquarters as a disciple.
Thus, it would be great if Zi Xiao could kill the Beast Soul and become Tai Ying Sovereign’s disciple.
Di Yihun had the desire to become Tai Ying Sovereign’s disciple so that Tai Ying Sovereign could back him up. However, he realized that he did not have the ability to kill the Beast Soul.
One could not kill the Beast Soul based on his strength alone.
