Chapter 1278: Wu Chen, You Beast

As soon as he heard Elder Xun’s voice, Su Mo opened his eyes and sighed helplessly.

The clan elders had arrived. He had to go out outside, he certainly could not continue cultivating anymore.

Although he hadn’t been cultivating for long, he had amassed an enormous amount of strength from the Spiritual Qi. The process of skill conversion was quite fast.

There was still a long way to go before successfully completing the conversion, but everything seemed to be going smoothly, at least before he was interrupted.

He immediately stopped cultivating and began to collect the remaining crystals that remained unused, which stopped the arrays from operating.

Soon after, he suppressed his body’s Spiritual void and rose up, slowly opening the door of the cultivation room.

Creak!

As he opened the door, Su Mo saw many pairs of eyes staring at him coldly.

Tens of thousands of strangers glared at him, their eyes filled with so much anger that he actually felt a little uncomfortable.

There were few who immediately recognised Su Mo’s current physical body. However, when they saw his face, they were astonished.

This despicable man was actually Wu Chen!

Wu Chang Yuan’s mouth hung agape and his heart dropped. He was astounded. Never would he have thought that the person inside the cultivation room was Wu Chen.

Wu Lie and Wu Yu’er, who had also remained, saw Wu Chen’s face and were dumbfounded, their hearts gripped by fear.

Wu Chen?

Was it truly Wu Chen?

How was this possible?

Didn’t they kill Wu Chen? How could he be here, alive and cultivating?

The two of them exchanged looks, sharing the doubt that sat in each other’s hearts. Their faces suddenly darkened and their murderous thoughts returned.

Wu Chen had deceived them, he was not dead!

Bang!

The door of the cultivating room slammed completely open. Su Mo scanned his surroundings. His gaze swept over the crowd and finally landed on Elder Xun.

“Hello, Elder!” Su Mo walked out of the room and bowed to Elder Xun, his fist cupped in his hand.

“Wu Chen? It’s actually you!” Elder Xun exclaimed and wrinkled his brows. He knew most of the young people of the Martial Emperor Realm and from Black Glow City. Naturally, he recognized the physical body of Wu Chen.

“It is I, Elder Xun!” nodded Su Mo.

“What is going on? Why has all the Spiritual Qi flowed into your cultivation room?” Elder Xun asked gravely.

“This… I am not sure why the Spiritual Qi in my room is so rich!” responded Su Mo, shaking his head and playing dumb.

“You don’t know?”

Puzzled, Elder Xun immediately walked into the cultivation room to investigate. However, he discovered no abnormalities with the arrays inside.

This confused Elder Xun even more. Could there be something wrong with the array underground?

He did not think that this was Wu Chen’s fault, namely because the young sorcerer did not have the means to seize all the Spiritual Qi from other cultivation rooms.

This made it even more unbelievable that Wu Chen, who had only reached Rank 3 Martial Emperor Realm, was some involved!

Maybe there truly was something wrong with the arrays!

Elder Xun thought frantically.

“Then why didn’t you come out?” a different voice called out. Su Mo turned to see Wu Tian Yu’s fierce eyes glaring coldly at him.

If Elder Xun weren’t here, Su Mo would have given the bastard before him a piece of his mind!

“With the Spiritual Qi in my room so rich? Why would I come out?” Su Mo sneered.

“You…!” Wu Tianyu was at a loss for words, unable to refute Su Mo.

This was indeed the case. The cultivation room was filled with Spiritual Qi that was supposed to be flowing into many other cultivation rooms. With such a rich supply of Spiritual Qi, who would be willing to come out?

“Wu Chen, you bastard, this old man wanted to break into the bottleneck of the Completion Realm, but you ruined it!”

“You made it impossible for me to complete my cultivation, you must compensate for it!”

“That’s right, you ruined our chances at cultivation, you have to pay us back!”

Many young people of the Sorcerer Tribe started to raise their voices, their faces seething with anger.

Upon seeing this, Su Mo sneered in his heart. These Sorcerer Tribesmen were really naive.

“I ruined your cultivation? What a joke!”

Su Mo disdainfully shook his head and hissed, “This cultivation room is still here. You can go in and cultivate. What about how you destroyed my cultivation!”

“You… are really arrogant!”

“After ruining our cultivation, you are still so impudent!”

“You are digging your own grave!”

The crowd grew even more furious. Their blood was already boiling, but when they heard Su Mo’s words, they instantly flew into a rage.

Dark Force surged in most of their hands. They could not wait to attack him.

“Silence!”

At this moment, a loud voice boomed from afar and reverberated throughout the air. Elder Xun walked out of the cultivation room with a sullen look.

Everyone instantly quietened down. One could hear the sound of a pin drop. No one dared to defy the words of an elder.

“Disperse! All cultivation rooms on Level 1 of Earth Pagoda are temporarily closed. Wait until Old Man checks everything thoroughly and then we will open it again!” instructed Elder Xun, looking around at the crowd.

“Yes, Elder!” the crowd responded. Many people immediately left.

However, there were still some who did not leave. They glared at Su Mo with a cold rage.

Wu Chen was so arrogant, how could they let him go unpunished? No matter what, they sought revenge and wanted to teach him a lesson for his actions.

Wu Chen did not have much status in the Tribe anyway, and his strength was not impressive at all. Punishing him would be his end.

“Wu Chen, you are crazy. You don’t even have the strength, yet you still dare to act like a lunatic. What a fool!”

“You can try!” Su Mo said dryly. He fixed his gaze on the remaining sorcerers without any sign of fear. He would be very willing to engage in a life-and-death fight with Wu Tian Yu, and to kill him fair and square.

When Wu Tian Yu heard this, his eyes immediately narrowed. Someone of no status in the Tribe actually dared to provoke him, this man definitely had guts!

In an instant, the killing instinct within Wu Tian Yu’s heart began to ignite.

However, Elder Xun still lingered, checking on the other cultivation rooms. It was not a good time to strike.

Wu Lie and Wu Yu’er stood at the back of the crowd. They exchanged furtive looks and understood each other’s thoughts.

They could not let Wu Chen live. If he exposed the couple’s actions, the two of them would be in immense trouble.

Fortunately, Su Mo had offended everyone present. It was now the perfect opportunity to attack him.

“Wu Chen, you beast, you dare to come back?”

Wu Yu’er sighed and screamed, and the crowd immediately disbanded. She and Wu Lie stalked towards Su Mo.

Her shriek caught everyone by surprise, and they looked on at Wu Yu’er in utter confusion.

Many people knew of Wu Yu’er and that she was Wu Chen’s fiancee. Why, given their relationship, would she scold and threaten Wu Chen?

Su Mo was also stunned. He immediately glanced at Yu’er and could not help but frown.

This woman’s heart was so vicious; she had collaborated with Wu Lie to kill her fiancee. Now that he appeared to be back, she feared he would expose her, so she takes the lead in launching an attack?

“Sister Yu’er, what has Wu Chen done that’s so terrible? What has he done to make you so angry?” Wu Tian Yu ventured curiously.

In Wu Tian Yu’s heart, he already had a murderous intent towards Wu Chen. However, in the sacred space of Earth Pagoda, he could not act so recklessly.

However, if Wu Chen truly had done something that enraged even his lover, Wu Tianyu would have a reason to murder him on the spot.
