Chapter 466: Capture and Escape
Translator: Transn Editor: Transn
Within the cave, boundless Spiritual Qi bubbled and frothed like boiling water.
It took a while before all the Spiritual Qi disppeared, and for everything to return to normal. Su Mo's figure then appeared from the cave.
He let out a sigh of relief when he sensed the sudden surge in his strength.
After spending two hours of devouring and refining Spiritual Qi, he had finally attained Lv 3 Enlightenment Realm, with his physical strength reaching the equivalent of Lv 5 Enlightenment Realm with the help of the Archean Dragonesque Elephant Skill.
"With 200,000 Medium Spiritual Stones remaining, I'll need to think of ways to earn Spiritual Stones!" Su Mo said with a silent sigh.
The price he paid to level up both his cultivation and physical strength totaled 500 million Lower Spiritual Stones and 100,000 Medium Spiritual Stones.
After Su Mo further stabilized his cultivation, he stood up, pushed away the boulder blocking the exit, and left the cave.
Su Mo quickly turned pale as he exited the cave for he saw many streams of light flashing, fast approaching the mountain.
These horned demons gave off a powerful aura, with majority of them being of Lv 6, Lv 7 Enlightenment Realm cultivation, and even one at Lv 8 Enlightenment Realm.
It could have been the aura he gave off when he broke past the bottleneck to level up earlier that attracted these horned demons' attention, drawing them to him.
"Young one, stop resisting your capture!" the horned demon at Lv 8 Enlightenment Realm commanded coldly.
Swoosh!
Su Mo immediately turned and fled into the distance.
"Humph, there's no way you can escape!" that horned demon scoffed, and led the pack of horned demons to the chase.
Su Mo's figure flashed across the sky as he fled. He had exerted his body move technique Dragon Sky-roaming Steps to the maximum, moving like a dragon soaring through the skies. However, as hard as he tried, he could not get rid of the horned demons on his trail. They were of a higher cultivation, and thus could fly faster than he could.
"What should I do?" Su Mo frowned. Although his strength had increased, and he would be able to confidently face a Lv 7 Enlightenment Realm horned demon, but when faced with a Lv 8 Enlightenment Realm horned demon and so many L 7 Enlightment Realm horned demons, there was no way he would be able to defeat them.
Just as Su Mo was weighing his options, large numbers of horned demons appeared in front of him, and approached him rapidly.
"Damn it!"
Surprised, Su Mo quickly tried to change directions, but in a blink of an eye, he was surrounded by horned demons in all directions.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
Hundreds of horned demons instantly surrounded Su Mo, trapping him within.
"I guess I'll have to use the Small Void-teleport Charm again!" Su Mo gritted his teeth and stopped to take out his Small Void-teleport Charm.
Each Small Void-teleport Charm could only be used three times before it self-destructs. He had already used it once, and thus had two chances remaining.
Exerting the Vital Spirit in his hand, his figure suddenly started to fade, and disappeared from view the next instant.
When the horned demons saw that Su Mo had disappeared abruptly, they were all stunned, unable to wrap their heads around what just happened.
"Damn!" the horned demon at Lv 8 Enlightenment Realm bellowed angrily.
"This kid actually possessed something that helped him teleport. Could it be a Void-teleport Charm?"
The horned demon frowned, and after thinking for a bit, he commanded, "Continue to lock down the Demon-controlling Fort, and search the surrounding areas! Increase the search efforts, for if this kid wishes to leave, the only exit lies within the Demon-controlling Fort. He will definitely be back!"
…
In the skies overlooking a vast lake, a young man appeared with a flash of light.
It was Su Mo!
With the Small Void-teleport Charm, one would be able to teleport i instantly, but could end up randomly appearing anywhere within a radius of 5,000 kilometers.
As soon as he appeared, Su Mo's eyes quickly swept the surroundings, and let out a sigh of relief when he did not see any horned demons nearby.
He headed back to the ground, and landed on a large boulder in the lake.
"How would I be able to leave the Horned-demon Territory?" Su Mo muttered to himself, frowning. He might have many tricks up his sleeve, but he still could not think of a way.
The Horned-demon Territory was in a different dimension, and the Messaging Charm would not be able to work here. The higher-ups of Celestialspirit Sect could not be bothered with the happenings within Horned-demon Territory, leaving it to the Sect's disciples to resolve matters on their own.
"These horned demons seem to be deliberately chasing after me? What could be the reason?" Su Mo lowered his head, deep in thought.
The appearance of the horned demon pack earlier showed that they were obviously out to capture him, but with his current cultivation, why would they set out in such large numbers?
After trying to figure things out, he still could not make sense of it all!
"I still have one more chance to use this Small Void-teleport Charm. I would no longer be able to escape if I'm surrounded again after exhausting this chance!" Su Mo sighed.
He looked at the lake in front him and decided to lie low within the lake for a period of time, only emerging when danger has passed.
He dived straight into the lake and headed toward the bottom of the lake.
This was a large and deep lake, with no end in sigh. Su Mo was enveloped within a Vital Spirit air shield, and had been diving for hundreds of meters before finally reaching the bottom.
Then, he found a small cave at the bottom of the lake, and sat cross-legged within.
He took out his storage pouch, and with a flash of purple light, a demon that resembled a snake but wasn't one appeared.
"Lil Eight, you must have been bored to death recently!" Su Mo looked at Lil Eight with a smile. Lil Eight had been extremely restless within the spiritual beast pouch recently, and as its owner, Su Mo naturally sensed it. He decided to let Lil Eight out for some air.
Hiss! Hiss!
Lil Eight hissed at Su Mo and swam happily around Su Mo.
"Oh, you want to hunt for food?"
Su Mo had established a blood covenant with Lil Eight, with allowed him to communicate telepathically with it.
"Go! Don't create too much commotion!" Su Mo smiled with a wave of his hand.
There were many demonic beasts within the lake, and naturally, he would not stand in the way if Lil Eight wished to hunt.
Lil Eight gave a cry and disappeared in a flash of purple light.
Then, Su Mo closed his eyes and began to cultivate quietly.
During his period of cultivation, the demonic beasts within the lake were in great danger thanks to the arrival of Lil Eight.
…
In the great stone hall within the horned demon tribe,
the group of ten horned demons were still waiting for news of Su Mo.
Clack! Clack! Clack!
Footsteps sounded outside the hall, and a burly horned demon entered.
"How was it? Did you manage to capture him?" the elderly horned demon leader asked urgently. The remaining nine other horned demons looked eagerly at the new arrival too.
"Chieftain, we lost him again!" the burly horned demon said with his head bowed.
"What?"
At his words, the elderly horned demon growled, and with a slap of his palm, turned the table beside him into dust. "A bunch of worthless beings! You couldn't even capture a boy of Lv 2 Enlightenment Realm, what use do I have of you?" he thundered.
The elderly horned demon's aura soared rapidly, and the burly horned demon grew fearful, explaining hurriedly, "Chieftain, please calm down. That kid had a Small Void-teleport charm which allowed him to teleport instantly. It was just too difficult to capture him!"
"What? Small Void-teleport charm? the elderly horned demon's face grew pale, his brows knitted tightly
Chieftain Jin Li, if this person truly has the Small Void-teleport charm, I'm afraid it will not be easy to capture him!" Huo Tang said.
"It would be fine if he possessed a Small Void-teleport Charm since it only can be used thrice, but if he has a Big Void-teleport Charm in his possession, there is no such restriction!" he continued.
The elderly horned demon thought for a while before he sighed, and said "All ten Chieftains will have to take on this mission personally! Even if he possesses a Void-teleport Charm, he would not be able to escape under our watch."
The group nodded their agreement. As the ten chieftains, they would have to see this through personally in order to capture Su Mo in the quickest possible time.
The horned demon clan had split in its early years into ten tribes. The ten present at these moment were the chieftains of the ten tribes.
"Grandpa, leave this to me!"
A cold voice sounded abruptly outside the hall, and in walked a female horned demon.
This female horned demon was gorgeous, and she looked slightly different as compared to the others, with the horns on her forehead being five-colored.
Chapter 467: Cai Yun
Translator: Transn Editor: Transn
This young female horned demon seemed to be 24 or 25 years old. She had snow-white skin and exquisite facial features. She was an absolute beauty.
She wore a long black dress made of beast skin that showed off her curvy and voluptuous figure. Her long hair reached her slim waist and coupled with her purplish scale armor, her monstrous, wild, enchanting, and seductive charm drove countless men to madness.
As the female horned demon walked into the stone palace, her long hair swayed as she twisted her voluptuous butt to look heroic.
"Hehe! Cai Yun, why have you come?" Chieftain Jin Li smiled warmly when he saw the female horned demon.
"Grandpa, since I've nothing better to do, leave this to me!" the female horned demon, Cai Yun, spoke plainly.
Jin Li pondered and asked, "You have a way to capture this person?"
Cai Yun said confidently, "Piece of cake!"
Jin Li nodded, then he looked toward the rest of the nine chieftains, and asked, "Does anyone has any objections if I leave this to Cai Yun?"
"Hehe! Miss Cai Yun is the top talent among the ten tribes. She reached the Peak of Lv 9 Enlightenment Realm at only 25 years old. Her strength is already comparable to elders like us, so I've no objections!" Tu Kun smiled and said.
"That's right! Miss Cai Yun is not only powerful but also smart, so I have no objections either!" Huo Tang nodded.
"I have no objections!"
"Since Cai Yun is willing to lend a hand, we shall wait for her to bring us good news!"
"…"
All the ten horned demon tribe chieftains had declared their approvals to let Cai Yun handle the matter.
"Since all the chieftains have agreed, please wait for my good news!" Cai Yun nodded and walked out of the stone palace.
…
Deep in the cave at the bottom of the lake, Su Mo opened his eyes and stopped cultivating.
"It's been four days. I should go out and take a look!" Su Mo murmured and recalled Lil Eight.
After a few moments, a purple flash came rapidly from afar and neared Su Mo in the blink of an eye.
"Lil Eight, we should get going…!" Su Mo suddenly stopped before he could finish his sentence.
"Class 1 Lv 4! Two pairs of wings!" Su Mo stared closely at Lil Eight's body.
Lil Eight's aura had apparently reached Class 1 Lv 4 and he had grown another pair of wings.
"Good boy! It's only been four days and you've already leveled up!" Su Mo was delighted.
A demonic beast's level would normally increase as it grew up, in fact, the more prestigious its bloodline was, the more potential it would have. If Lil Eight could level up within four days, it would definitely have a bright future.
"Seems like you are indeed an ancient mutant, a super demonic beast that possesses the Real Dragon's bloodline – Eight-winged Drake!" Su Mo's eyes shone.
He put Lil Eight back into his spiritual beast pouch and headed toward the lake's surface.
As he approached the surface, Su Mo cautiously observed his surroundings. Only when he found no trace of the horned demons outside, did he dash out of the lake. After identifying his the way to go, he went toward the Demon-controlling Fort.
Along the way, Su Mo only found two small troops of horned demons. Since the majority of the horned demon troops were gone, he was instantly delighted!
"Seems like the horned demons must have had other reasons for surrounding the Demon-controlling Fort and killing all the disciples coming out of the fort. I'm probably not their target!" Su Mo thought silently.
In that case, it was not too dangerous now.
He flew rapidly toward the Demon-controlling Fort.
After more than two hours, Su Mo saw the fort from afar and found that the horned demon troops were no longer there.
"Great!" Su Mo was overjoyed.
He had managed to narrowly escape this time.
However, at the thought of Feng Shaoyu and the rest, his face sank again. Four Senior Brothers came together, but he was the only one left in the end.
"If Master knew about this, he would be furious.
He might even slaughter the horned demon's clan!" Su Mo murmured.
Su Mo was now less than 40 kilometers away from the Demon-controlling Fort and he should be able to return to the fort in just a few breaths, but, at this moment, there was a sudden change.
A black shadow suddenly appeared in front of him and blocked his way. Su Mo was startled and immediately stopped.
As he looked closely, his eyebrows raised as the black shadow turned out to be a horned demon, moreover, it was a girl.
She had a five-colored horn on top of her head and wore a black dress made of beast skin. Her astounding figure and beauty gave off an air of wild seduction!
"I never realized that there are such beauties among the horned demons!" Su Mo was surprised as he looked closely at her, but he instantly frowned.
He could not tell her level of cultivation as there was no aura coming off her body.
"Follow me back to the tribe if you don't want to suffer any physical pain!" Cai Yun was expressionless and looked coldly at Su Mo.
"Follow you back to your tribe?" Su Mo narrowed his eyes as he did not expect her not to kill him but instead, wanted to bring him back to her tribe.
"Why should I follow you?" he asked plainly.
"Don't ask. You'll find out when you come to my tribe!" Cai Yun spoke coldly and emotionlessly.
"What if I say no?" Su Mo's eyes flashed coldly, and his nine Spiritual Spirals began revolving as he prepared to attack at anytime.
"To the horned demons' tribe?"
"How can I do that?"
"Isn't that courting my own death?"
Although Su Mo could not identify her level of cultivation, he was quite confident in escaping back to the fort since he was already less than 50 kilometers away.
Moreover, even if she was super strong, he still had the Small Void-teleport Charm, so he could definitely escape.
"Since you dont't wish to comply, I'll have to attack!" Cai Yun said coldly, after which, she suddenly pointed at Su Mo.
Swish!
A black finger radiance suddenly appeared, pierced through the air at lightning speed, and came straight toward Su Mo.
"What?" Su Mo was shocked. Her move was too fast! The finger radiance was closing in on him just right after she raised her finger.
Su Mo had no time to defend himself in this small amount of time. As the finger radiance was nearing him, he could only turn his body as much as possible to evade the finger radiance.
Slash!
Even though Su Mo managed to evade the deadly stroke, he could not avoid the finger radiance completely, and it instantly pierced through his shoulder.
"Eh!"
Su Mo let out a muffled moan and was terrified by her strength. Not only was her attacking speed uncomparable, it was also strong. Even his mighty body that he took pride in was instantly pierced through!
He did not completely activate his defense since the golden scale armor did not emerge, but his defense remained horrifying. An average Lv 5 Enlightenment Realm martial artist could never pierce through his body.
But now, this lady's casual attack had gone through his body.
Chapter 468: Captured Alive
Translator: Transn Editor: Transn
Once Cai Yun attacked, she also revealed her aura.
"Peak of Lv 9 Enlightenment Realm!" Su Mo was shocked to the core. No wonder she was so powerful. It was because she was actually an expert at Peak of Lv 9 Enlightenment Realm.
He was definitely no match for her.
"Run!"
Su Mo did not hesitate to escape back to the Demon-controlling Fort. So long as he could make it back, no matter how strong she was, she could not possibly make her way into the fort.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
At this moment, Cai Yun's five fingers moved and five finger radiance flashed toward him.
Four of them completely sealed Su Mo's evading space while the other radiance went straight for his elixir field at his lower abdomen.
They moved so quickly. It was as if they were traveling beyond the limitations of space and time and instantly arrived in front of Su Mo.
"Oh no!" shocked, Su Mo cut at the finger radiance that was attacking his lower abdomen with the Sky-crushing Sword.
At the same time, Su Mo's body emitted a burst of golden light and his body was covered in golden scale armor.
The lower abdomen was a martial artist's vital spot. Once it was punctured, the elixir field might rupture. To a martial artist, this was definitely an extremely deadly attack, so Su Mo unleashed his peak combat strength.
Her attack was too quick and with his evading space also blocked, Su Mo did not have enough time to even use the Small Void-teleport Charm to escape, so he could only block it.
Boom!
The sword radiance made contact with the finger radiance with a loud bang. Even though Su Mo's swordplay was strong, it paled in comparison to the finger radiance.
The finger radiance swept off the Sky-crushing Sword and crashed into Su Mo's lower abdomen.
"Shit!" Su Mo turned pale as he knew that this finger definitely could pierce through his elixir field. Once that happened, he would lose his cultivation and become a defenseless target.
Su Mo felt demoralized. "Am I going to die here when I've yet to reach the Central Continent?"
'Moreover, being killed by a woman!"
Poom!
The finger radiance hit Su Mo's lower abdomen but his elixir field was not ruptured. It rushed into his body and turned into a strange power that sealed his elixir field.
With his elixir field sealed, Su Mo's Vital Spirit immediately stopped working and caused him to crash down from the sky.
"This is…!"
Su Mo was happy but also horrified. He was happy that his elixir field had not ruptured, which meant that his cultivation remained, but he was also horrified that he could no longer use his cultivation after his elixir field was sealed. He was much less of a match for this girl now that he could only rely on his physical strength.
Moreover, if he could not activate his internal Vital Spirit, many of his tricks became unavailable, such as the Small Void-teleport Charm, which required his Vital Spirit for activation.
Swoosh!
Before Su Mo landed on the ground, he rapidly scooted away in the air like a sharp golden sword.
He could only run away as she was too powerful for him to handle.
"Still trying to escape!" Cai Yun shot him a teasing look and grabbed toward Su Mo with her slender white hands that were covered in purple scale armor.
With that, a gigantic Demonic Vitality palm caught up with Su Mo at an incredible speed and grabbed him.
"Let go of me!" Su Mo shouted anxiously. This Demonic Vitality gigantic palm was like a huge metal hoop that squashed him to the center of the palm. No matter how strong his physical strength was, he still could not break free.
"Follow me back to the tribe!" Cai Yun sneered as she waved her arm and pulled Su Mo back.
Her figure flashed and she left quickly with Su Mo wrapped in her arms.
Many in the Demon-controlling Fort witnessed Cai Yun taking Su Mo away, but no one came out to rescue him.
First of all, her cultivation being at the Peak of Lv 9 Enlightenment Realm scared them off. Secondly, Su Mo was a disciple of Towering Sky Peak, so no one would rescue him.
"Isn't he the new disciple from Towering Sky Peak, Su Mo?"
"That's right! It's him. He was the one who killed Zheng Renjie at Holy Sky Peak!"
"Haha! Those people from Towering Sky Peak were always arrogant and domineering. Looks like Su Mo is going to die without a burial place!"
"Those who are captured alive by the horned demons will basically suffer all kinds of torment til death without exception!"
Many of them saw Su Mo being taken away and were all talking about him.
Su Mo was completely imprisoned in Cai Yun's arms as she flew rapidly toward her tribe.
While looking at Cai Yun's glamorous beauty and smelling her delicate fragrance, Su Mo was instead seething with anger.
"It's over!"
"Completely over!"
He started out in Gale Island and rose to the top triumphantly and dominated the young generation in Hong Domain, but now, he was defeated by a woman.
"Why…why do you want to bring me to the horned demon's tribe?" Su Mo glared at Cai Yun's delicate face and asked in a deep voice. He felt confused that she wanted to bring him back instead of killing him.
Cai Yun remained expressionless as she moved rapidly without looking at Su Mo.
"Humph!" Su Mo snorted and turned gloomy when she did not respond.
It took only about two hours for Cai Yun to bring him to the first horned demon's tribe.
While looking at the huge horned demon tribe ahead, Su Mo became gloomier than ever.
However, he had gotten over it since the worst that could happen was dying. He had been through it once before!
Besides, she did not kill him straight up but brought him back to the horned demon tribe instead. This was very intriguing as it meant a chance of survival for him.
Swish!
They flew into the tribe and landed in front of the magnificent stone palace door shortly after.
Su Mo turned his head and saw 10 horned demon guards standing in front of the tall, majestic stone palace. Apparently, this stone palace was the core of the horned demon's tribe.
"Go in!" Cai Yun looked at him coldly.
"Humph!" Su Mo snorted again as he walked toward the stone palace. He had prepared to risk everything and took as they come.
Cai Yun also went into the stone palace with Su Mo.
Inside the stone palace, Su Mo glanced around and realized this was a meeting hall.
There was an elder horned demon sitting on the grand seat in the hall, while nine other horned demons sat beneath him.
These men's auras were unfathomable and this signified that they were obviously beyond the Enlightenment Realm.
"Grandpa, I've brought him back! I'll be going now!" Cai Yun said to chieftain Jin Li and left without waiting for his reply.
"This girl…!" Chieftain Jin Li shook his head helplessly, and suddenly focused his sharp gaze on Su Mo.
The rest of the nine horned demons also looked toward Su Mo and hit him with an immense pressure that made it hard to breathe.
"Young man, what's your name?" Jin Li asked with a deep voice.
"Su Mo!" he answered uprightly.
Chapter 469: Help You?
Translator: Transn Editor: Transn
"Su Mo?"
Chief Jin Li nodded, paused for a while, and said, "Su Mo, since you're here, I have some questions."
"What is it? Ask as you may!" Su Mo frowned while wondering what the issue was.
"Are you the descendant of Firmament Palace?" Jin Li asked as he stared at Su Mo.
"What?" Su Mo was shocked, and his eyes glittered unnoticeably.
"Elder, I don't understand. Firmament Palace?"
Su Mo shook his head and denied this because this was too important to tell.
However, Su Mo was so confused about them knowing this.
He had never told anyone about this, not even Hong Qingxuan and Wu Sheng. It was weird that these demons in a Plane knew this secret!
It seemed like they indeed were deliberately hunting him. Laying siege to the fort and unleashing a massive amount of horned demons was all just to catch him.
"Ha ha!"
Jin Li chuckled and pointed at Su Mo's lower abdomen. When the finger radiance contacted Su Mo, it did not harm him. It, instead, realeased the seal on his elixir field cast by Cai Yun, and his cultivation recovered.
Su Mo raised his eyebrows. "Doesn't he know that I can run away now?"
However, Su Mo did not act rashly. It was almost impossible to escape. The strength of the present horned demons here were unfathomable; besides, he was in their horde. Although he had Small Void-teleport Charm, he might be captured by the others before teleporting.
"Su Mo, l want to see your Vital Spirit." Jin Li smiled and said.
666
"My Vital Spirit?" Su Mo had confusion in his eyes. To refuse was not an option because his life was in Jin Li's hand.
Su Mo controlled his Spiritual Spirals to run, and a strand of five-colored Vital Spirit flew out of his elixir field and gathered at his palm.
The Five Elements Vital Spirit shone with five splendid colors.
Jin Li, Huo Tang, Tu Kun, and the other chiefs stared agape at Su Mo's hand.
"It's really the Five Elements Force!" Jin Li was thrilled. "Finally, after so many years, the Five Elements descendent appeared!"
"That's right! Absolutely right!"
"Only the true descendant of Firmament Palace can practice the Five Elements Force!"
The other chiefs all got excited. To horned demon tribe, the Five Elements Force was both their shackle and hope.
Su Mo was bewildered. "How do they know the Five Elements Force and the feature of the true descendant of Firmament Palace?"
"Is there some connection between the horned demons and Firmament Palace?"
"Su Mo, whether you admit it or not, you are the descendant of Firmament Palace!"
In a deep voice, Jin Li continued, "Truth be told, we horned demon tribe were once a part of Firmament Palace!"
"What? You belonged to Firmament Palace?" Su Mo had never expected this and was stunned.
"Correct!" Jin Li smiled and said, "We can call you fellow disciple now. How about this, you stay in this Plane with us from now on?"
Although Su Mo was the descendant of Firmament Palace, his cultivation level was too low and was of no help to horned demon tribe. Therefore, Jin Li wanted to keep Su Mo with them temporarily.
"Stay here with you?"
It shocked Su Mo for a moment. He then shook his head and said, "Elder, I've got friends and family outside the Plane. I can't stay here!"
Su Mo refused straight away. He had so many things left to do. He had to meet Xi'er, and the Gale Island Sect and the Sus were still struggling to survive in Skymoon Country. How could he stay here forever?
Moreover, he did not trust these horned demons.
Fellow disciple?
Bullsh*t! Firmament Palace was destroyed hundreds of thousands years ago, who cared about "fellow disciples!"
Upon seeing Su Mo's direct refusal, the chiefs frowned.
"Kid, think before you speak! You should know that we can kill you right now!" said Chief Huo Tang.
While remaining expressionless, Su Mo became more vigilant and got ready to take out the Small Void-teleport Charm to escape.
"Elder Jin, what do you think?" Tu Kun asked.
Jin Li stared at Su Mo with a solemn face, and talked after a long pause. "Su Mo, we can let you leave!"
"Em?" Su Mo was surprised. After so much effort spent capturing him, why did he decide to let him go so quickly?
"Elder Jin!"
"Elder Jin!"
"Chieftain Jin!"
The other nine chiefs frowned and uttered one after another.
"Everybody, I have a plan!" Jin Li waved his hand, and then his lips moved slightly as if speaking to the others. The crowd then fell silent again.
As the chieftain of the ten hordes, the horned demons had much faith in him.
Jin Li looked at Su Mo, sighed, and said, "Su Mo! As the descendant of Firmament Palace, you must enjoy an unbelievably high talent. Given that we are fellow disciples, if you reach Martial Royal Realm in the future, I hope that you can help us get away from the Celestialspirit Sect and set my tribe free!"
"Help you get away from the Celestialspirit Sect?"
Su Mo nodded and said without the slightest hesitation. "I will help you, if I can get there."
Su Mo just wanted to leave as soon as possible and promised casually. However, he did not believe that they were letting him walk away so easily.
Jin Li smiled and said, "Good, I hope you are true to your word. We horned demon tribe will truly accept you after you set us free, and we'll bend our knees toward you!"
Su Mo's face looked calm. The horned demon tribe was not powerful. The strongest one was only at Lv 1 True Darkness Realm, and they had been suppressed by the Celestialspirit Sect for a long time. If he reached Martial Royal Realm, their submission to him would be unneeded.
Jin Li seemed to know Su Mo's thoughts. He smiled and said, "We horned demon tribe are not as simple as you think. We are from the ancient times, and our inheritance is far beyond the Celestialspirit Sect. Once we're free from them, we will be strong very quickly!"
"Is that so." Su Mo nodded. Although he did not know how good their inheritance was, it could be extraordinary since they had survived from ancient times.
"Elder, please don't worry! I will save you if I have enough strength in future."
Su Mo said sincerely; however, it was completely different in his mind.
"You killed my three brothers, and are now asking for my help? I'll slaughter you and your tribe first after getting strong enough!" Su Mo grinned inside.
"Haha! Good!"
Jin Li laughed and spoke after a short thinking. "I hope you can take someone out of here."
"Who?" Su Mo asked in doubt.
"My granddaughter, Cai Yun." Jin Li smiled.
Chapter 470: I Like Tough Guys
Translator: Transn Editor: Transn
"Cai Yun?" Su Mo was surprised. "Isn't she the horned demon beauty that had captured me?"
"Correct!" Jin Li said, "I hope you can take her out of the Horned-demon Territory!"
Jin Li did this because he did not trust Su Mo completely. Cai Yun was the top talent of the tribe in a century, and she would achieve unimaginable progress in the future if taken out of this place.
If Su Mo failed to be powerful or refused to help the horned demon tribe, Cai Yun was their greatest hope.
As for her safety outside, Jin Li was not that concerned.
Su Mo would not kill his granddaughter on account of her beauty. As long as Su Mo had no foul intentions, it would be fine.
"Okay!"
Su Mo agreed after a short moment then smiled coldly inside.
"After that woman gets out of here, she'll get what she deserves!"
"Powerful as you are, you could do nothing in the Celestialspirit Sect."
Back in the tavern of Demon-controlling Fort, Su Mo had heard that some disciples liked to capture some female horned demons to be their maids, even sex slaves. Judging by the good looks of Cai Yun, there would be many buyers; and he could make good money on her!
Su Mo was not that perversive to enjoy her himself, because he had no interest in such an abnormal human!
"Hahaha! My friend, you're a straightforward person!"
Jin Li laughed and said, "So, I'm not keeping you now. Take your fellows and go!"
"Fellows?" Su Mo was shocked.
"Correct! The Celestialspirit Sect disciples with you before."
"What? They're not dead?"
Su Mo was overjoyed upon hearing this. He had thought that they were already dead and this had been tormenting him.
"Of course! The five disciples are your fellows. We won't kill them."
Jin Li smiled and said, "They are imprisioned with their cultivation sealed. I'll let my men release them now!"
As he was saying this, Jin Li ordered the men outside the hall to bring the five here.
"Aye, chieftain!" A guardian outside answered.
"Five?" Su Mo was shocked for a short while and realized that Chang Qi and Hou Pengfei were also captured.
"Wait!" Su Mo shouted suddenly.
"What is it, Su Mo?" Jin Li asked in confusion.
"Can I go with him?" asked Su Mo.
Jin Li nodded assent. Su Mo then followed the guardian to the prison.
"Chang Qi, Hou Pengfei, I shall let you two stay here forever!" Su Mo grinned inside. He would never let the two leave since they wanted to kill him.
Su Mo soon arrived at the prison of the tribe.
The prison was underground and dim-lighted, stone chambers filled the vast underground space. Su Mo followed the guardian to one of the chambers.
"They're in this chamber." The guardian then opened the door.
Su Mo saw the five sitting cross-legged in the chamber that had less than 16 square meters of space.
Feng Shaoyu looked extremely miserable. Although his hair had returned to black, his Qi was at its weakest point and his face was pale like paper due to the Three Secret Techniques he used.
"11th brother!"
"11th brother!"
"11th brother!"
When Su Mo walked into the chamber, Feng Shaoyu and the other three exclaimed and stood up suddenly.
"It turns out that you're alive! I thought you're dead!" Tian Chen said, pleasantly surprised.
So were Feng Shaoyu and Yun Fei. However, the two's faces fell quickly.
"Alas! Our cultivations are sealed, we will be dead here anyway!"
Yun Fei sighed and asked, "11th brother, how were you captured?"
Yun Fei thought that Su Mo's cultivation was also sealed.
"It's a long story, I'll tell you when we get back!" As he said this, Su Mo walked in front of Chang Qi and Hou Pengfei.
"When we get back?" Yun Fei and the other two were dumbstruck.
"You two were trying to kill us. I don't forget things like that!" Towering above Chang Qi and Hou Pengfei, Su Mo grinned with a curved mouth.
"Hum! What about it? You're just too lucky to get slain by me!" Chang Qi smirked.
"We are lucky indeed, but not you!" Su Mo said calmly while showing murderous eyes.
"We all are gonna die here. What luck are you talking about?" Hou Pengfei sneered and shook his head.
"You will die, but not us." Su Mo said.
"Oh?" The two raised their eyebrows and asked, "What do you mean?"
"I mean that I'll be killing you!" Su Mo smiled slightly.
Upon hearing this, the two were shocked and then burst into laughter. "Haha! Su Mo, are you being scared or are you just a retard? Our cultivations are all sealed, and we're prisoners. What are you going to kill us with?"
Contempt was written all over their faces, and they clearly did not take Su Mo's words seriously.
Cruelty glittered in Su Mo's eyes, and he reached out both hands to grab at the two's arms.
He then squeezed his palm gently.
Crack! Crack!
Two clear, crisp sounds of bone fracture rose, and the arms were broken.
Ah! Ah!
The two gave horrible shrieks and stepped back against the wall rapidly.
"Why…Why are you not sealed?"
"How's that possible?"
Chang Qi and Hou Pengfei freaked out in horror, looked at the guardian, and yelled, "He's not sealed yet, go get him down!"
However, the guardian stood still. It did not look like he was going to move.
The two were dumbfounded as they didn't know the situation.
So were Feng Shaoyu and the other two.
"Tell me, who sent you to kill us? I can leave the rest of the body alone." Su Mo's eyes were sharp as blades as he stared at the two.
The two kept silent while staring at Su Mo with livid faces.
"Good, I like tough guys!"
Su Mo's had mocking eyes. The long-sword was unsheathed suddenly and with a glow of sword radiance, blood splashed all over and four arms were sent flying.
