Su Mo hurried back to Skymoon Country without delay.

After ten days, he flew across the Yan River, past the South of Yan River, and entered Daqing Country not long later.

Skymoon Country was just beyond Daqing Country. At the rate Su Mo was travelling, he would be able to reach Skymoon Country within half a day.

While travelling, Su Mo was contemplating his future. He was now at Lv 7 True Spirit Realm, with a strength that was comparable to martial artists in the Enlightment Realm. It was now time to leave Hong Domain.

Before leaving, he would first settle his family affairs and the issues at Gale Island.

The only problem that Su Mo was more concerned about was the issue of Cold-blood Hall.

He wasn’t sure if the six major powers in Hong Domain would be able to resist Cold-blood Hall’s attack.

Su Mo sighed inwardly. These six major powers had histories spanning thousands of years and would have some hidden cards that would prevent them from being obliterated.

Just then, Su Mo saw a city before him.

“What’s going on?”

As Su Mo approached the city, he saw the city covered in blood Qi so strong that even the white clouds in the sky were colored red.

The metallic smell of blood permeated the air surrounding the city and made one nauseous.

“This is… Blackjade City!”

As he drew near to the city, Su Mo immediately recognised this place as Blackjade City, where he had been before.

Back then, he had been seriously injured by Pang He during his outdoor training. The eldest daughter of the Tongs of Blackjade City had saved his life.

“Oh no! Miss Tong!”

Su Mo’s face changed as he charged toward Blackjade City. Su Mo arrived at the city in just a few moments.

Corpses were piled up like mountains everywhere he passed and broken limbs were scattered haphazardly. A large number of corpses had already been sucked dry and turned into mummies. It was a horrible sight to behold.

There was not a single person alive in Blackjade City!

Swoosh!

Su Mo rushed toward Tong Mansion without hesitation, and soon entered the building.

Tong Mansion now looked nothing like the grand building it once was. It was nothing more than a pile of rubble, with many corpses scattered all over the mansion.

Some of the younger members of the Tongs had died horrible deaths and had their blood splattered everywhere. The older generation of experts had all been turned into mummies. Even the Master of the Tongs, Tong Lian, had faced the same fate.

Su Mo’s expression turned solemn and he released his spiritual consciousness, which enveloped the entire Tong Mansion.

Not long later, his face changed yet again as he hastily flew towards a hall which had collapsed.

Su Mo stood in front of the hall, staring blankly at the sight in front of him.

Tong Wanqiu, the eldest daughter of the Tongs, lay lifelessly on the floor.

The horror, unwillingness and despair she had felt at the moment of death were clearly written on her pale face.

Bam! Bam!

Su Mo couldn’t help but clench his fists tight. The fire that raged in his chest almost consumed him whole.

“Cold-blood Hall!”

As Su Mo shouted in rage, his voice travelled 50 kilometers.

Su Mo was extremely upset to see Tong Wanqiu, who had once saved his life, in this state.

These b**tards of Cold-blood Hall had ravaged an entire city, killing everyone in it!

Blackjade City, with its population numbering millions, was not a small city like Sunnywood City.

“Cold-blood Hall, I’ll never rest if I leave any one of you alive!”

Su Mo’s eyes glinted with murderous intent as he made this declaration.

In reality, Su Mo wasn’t aware that a massacre of this scale was happening all across Hong Domain.

Defeating the six major powers and taking control of Hong Domain wasn’t an easy task. To improve their odds, the people of Cold-blood Hall had started their ravenous drinking of human blood to quickly increase their strength and cultivation in the shortest possible time.

Just then, a Jade Charm in Su Mo’s storage ring started to vibrate violently.

With a flip of his palm, the jade charm appeared in his hand.

This Jade Charm was the Long-distance Messaging Charm that Elder Wei had once given Su Mo.

As soon as Su Mo injected a wisp of Genuine Vitality into the Messaging Charm, Elder Wei’s voice immediately sounded from the charm.

“Su Mo, I’m not sure if you have returned from Firmament Divine Realm, but if you have, you must not return. Leave Hong Domain at once…”

Elder Wei’s voice was hurried. This sounded like a command and a warning.

“Oh no! Could Cold-blood Hall be attacking Gale Island? I wonder how long it has been since he sent this message!”

Su Mo’s expression turned grave. This Long-distance Messaging Charm was only able to receive messages within a 25,000 kilometers radius. He had earlier been too far from Gale Island to receive this message.

Now that he was within receiving range, he was able to receive this message. He was not sure if Elder Wei had just sent it, or if it had been a while since the message was sent!

He hastily buried Tong Wanqiu before shooting back toward the sky in the direction of Skymoon Country.

Leave?

How could he? Su Mo would never abandon everyone and escape alone.

He had to hurry back to Gale Island without delay!

Swish!

Su Mo flew at his maximum speed, cutting through air and leaving behind the sound of a sharp wind everywhere he passed.

…

Gale Island, Skymoon Country.

Five, six hundred powerful martial artists stood in the air and completely surrounded Gale Island. These people were all above True Spirit Realm, with the three in front being of the Enlightenment Realm.

Of the three Enlightment Realm experts, two of them were clad in long red robes. One was a burly middle-aged man, while the other was an old man with small eyes.

The third person was dressed in a long black robe covering his entire body, including his face.

Within Gale Island, there also stood four, five hundred powerful martial artists in the air. They were locked in a face-off with those experts surrounding Gale Island.

Yun Tu, the island owner of Gale Island, stood at the front with the Highest Elder. The inner elders, including Elder Wei, the First and Second Elders, and the outer elders, stood behind them.

On the ground, many disciples of Gale Island had gathered in the inner and outer square, watching in terror as the events unfolded.

“Yun Tu, Qing Pingzi, from this day on, Gale Island will cease to exist!”

The burly middle-aged man declared.

Qing Pingzi was the name of the Highest Elder.

“Jin Yan, you’re the elder of Scorching Sun Sect, one of the four sects of Skymoon Country. How dare you take the side of Cold-blood Hall. You’re digging your own grave!”

Yun Tu, owner of Gale Island, stared gravely at the middle-aged man before him as he shouted at him.

The people who surrounded Gale Island were from Scorching Sun Sect.

The burly middle-aged man was the master of Scorching Sun Set and the father of Jin Yang.

The older man of Enlightment Realm was the Highest Elder of Scorching Sun Sect, Fire-refining Cultivator.

“Digging my own grave?”

Jin Yan scoffed at Yun Tu’s words. “Cold-blood Hall will soon reign over Hong Domain after it obliterates the six major powers. Everyone across Hong Domain will need to acknowledge them as master. I, as well as Scorching Sun Sect, just have the foresight to admit this!”

“Humph! Jin Yan, even if you were to obliterate Gale Island, you must pay the price in blood!”

Qing Pingzi was cold in his reply.

“Jin Yan, why are you wasting time shooting the breeze? Let us just obliterate them now. The blood essence of those two are mine!”

Just as Jin Yan was about to respond, a cold voice interrupted. This voice belonged to the black-robed man.

“Yes, Elder Xue Tan!”

Jin Yan nodded as his eyes took on a murderous glint. His gaze swept across everyone at Gale Island, and he shouted a command.

“Charge!”

As soon as he issued the command, Jin Yan took the lead and charged at the Highest Elder of Gale Island.

“Charge!”

“Charge!”

“Charge!”

In a flash, war cries filled the air. The clouds were parted by the intense killing desire as a large number of experts from Scorching Sun Sect charged toward those from Gale Island.

Jin Yang, one of the Four Talents of Skymoon Country, was also in the crowd.

He held a long red saber in his hand. With a flash of saber radiance, he easily cleaved an outer elder into half, spilling his blood across the sky.
