Qiao Hong was quite an extraordinary boy.
Su Ming walked out of the mountain cave hidden in the walls of the valley and turned his head back to look at the wall that was incredibly difficult to discover. Even he would find it difficult to see if he did not pay too much attention to it.
If he did not cast the Branding Art and only looked at it with his naked eyes, then he would be able to see that the wall was glowing faintly.
Su Ming averted his gaze and did not continue wearing the mask. He used the black robe to cover his head and slowly walked out of the valley. As he walked through the once hidden grounds of Han Mountain, he saw some people like Qiao Da who were searching for treasures in this place. These people would usually only cast a glance at Su Ming before they no longer paid him any attention.
No one knew that Mo Su, who had disappeared for several months, had walked out of the canyons during dusk.
No one knew that the mysterious Berserker who had attained completion in the Blood Solidification Realm and caused the deity statue of Transcendence to appear two months ago was walking out of the canyons.
Everything was as usual during dusk. Han Mountain City was brightly lit. As the day of Freezing Sky Clan's arrival drew nearer, the city became livelier. The mountains of the three tribes around Han Mountain City were immersed in silence. The three tribes had already locked down their own mountains and stopped all visitors. Even those who had reached the Transcendence Realm had to stop before middle-sized tribes like the three tribes.
The setting sun looked red, but that red was not as red as fire. It was just a remnant of the sun. The land was dyed red by dusk and was about to turn dark.
Tranquil East Tribe welcomed the guest it had been waiting for a long time at the foot of the mountain when the sun could no longer be seen.
Su Ming put on the mask once again and stood at the foot of the mountain of Tranquil East Tribe. There was wind blowing against his black robes. He stood there and looked at the mountain quietly.
This was the second time he stood there. Compared to the first time, besides the time difference, he also felt as if he had been reborn. He was completely different.
Last time, Su Ming had to show that he had Transcended, but this time, he did not need to. He just stood there, and no one could ignore him. Those in the Blood Solidification Realm could not sense his presence too deeply. Only those in the Transcendence Realm could clearly feel the pressure that came from Su Ming's body that came from attaining completion in the Blood Solidification Realm.
Su Ming walked up the stairs calmly. The moment he stepped on the stairs, a great pressure came crashing down on him. This was the power that protected the mountain after Tranquil East Tribe sealed off the mountain. It prevented outsiders from entering. Su Ming had faced this power before, and now that he experienced it again, the effect it had on him was no longer as great as before.
If he wanted to, he could completely ignore the existence of this pressure.
"Mo Su greets the Andong clan leader." Su Ming's calm voice traveled forth unhurriedly. He did not add in the power of his Qi to make his voice echo in the air like before.
Now, he only said it calmly. Naturally, these words echoed throughout Tranquil East.
As Su Ming's words traveled forth, the quiet mountain of Tranquil East Tribe suddenly woke up from its slumber. The pressure formed by the power that protected the mountain disappeared in an instant. At the same time, several long arcs charged down from the top of the mountain.
At that moment, a large number of Tranquil East Tribe members rushed down from the mountain as if they had received an order. They stood by the sides with respectful expressions, forming a winding path to welcome guests.
There were eight people in the long arcs. The one leading them was the tribe leader of Tranquil East, Fang Shen. The people following behind him were mostly his trusted subordinates. There was also one person who was Tranquil East's Chief of War.
These people rushed over and appeared before Su Ming.
"Mo family, I have been waiting for you for months. Please!" Fang Shen first sized up Su Ming, then joy soon appeared on his face. He laughed and wrapped his fist in his palm towards Su Ming. His expression might have seemed normal, but the moment he saw Su Ming, he was shocked.
The feeling he got from the person before him was completely different from the Mo Su he met in the past. At that time, he could still see some clues about Su Ming, and it was these clues that made him test and hesitate.
Yet now, Su Ming was like an abyss in his eyes. He could not see through him, could not see through him. In fact, if he took a closer look, he would find that the Qi in his body was showing signs of instability. There was no way Fang Shen would not be shocked by this.
It was especially so when he remembered the rumors about Mo Su. Some of them might have been purposely revealed by Tranquil East Tribe, but there were still a lot of them that Tranquil East Tribe valued.
"You killed Yan Guang, forced Han Fei Zi to retreat, Nan Tian Jing, suppressed Xuan Lun … The name of Mo family now shakes through Han Mountain! "Mo family, please. Let's talk in detail on the mountain." Fang Shen's smile grew wider.
Besides Fang Shen, the Chief of War who came with him was also shocked. The short man had already Transcended. The moment he saw Su Ming, his expression immediately changed and his footsteps came to a barely noticeable halt, causing him to widen his eyes.
He could not feel the existence of the blood veins in Su Ming's body, but that was only secondary. More importantly, he could feel an indescribable pressure coming from Su Ming's body. That pressure was something that he had not felt when he first saw Su Ming.
"The return of the Mo family is a great matter for Tranquil East Tribe! Please! "The Chief of War took a deep breath, and his attitude immediately changed from before. He wrapped his fist in his palm towards Su Ming with a smile.
"There's no need for you to go up the mountain." Su Ming wrapped his fist in his palm towards Fang Shen and the Chief of War to return the greeting and spoke calmly.
"Besides returning the status of a guest, I came here because I have three things to ask of you, brother Fang."
When Fang Shen heard Su Ming's words, a grave look appeared on his face.
"Brother Mo, you don't have to be in a hurry to resign as a guest. Just tell me what you want."
"Thank you!" Su Ming nodded his head. He did not mention the dangers at the foot of Han Mountain. He was the one who requested to enter the place, it had nothing to do with anyone else.
"First, I didn't manage to find Sky Flute Branch during the change in Han Mountain, but I believe you must have found it after the incident. Give me that herb. Once I'm done with my preparations, I'll come and treat Fang Mu's injuries as soon as possible."
Fang Shen nodded towards Su Ming without any hesitation.
"I've already found Sky Flute Branch. It was originally prepared for you, brother Mo. I'll have to trouble you with my son. I'll immediately ask someone to send it over. Brother Mo, please tell me the other two things." As Fang Shen spoke, he turned around and cast a glance at his tribe member. That tribe member immediately obeyed respectfully and retreated quickly towards the top of the mountain.
"Second, I would like to see the topographic map of the Land of South Morning," Su Ming said unhurriedly.
Fang Shen fell silent. He did not answer immediately, but frowned. After a long while, he hesitated for a moment before he looked at Su Ming.
"Brother Mo, a topographic map is an important item to any tribe. Usually, a single topographic map is drawn bit by bit with the blood, sweat, and tears of several generations or even more.
"I'll have to ask the Elder about this."
Su Ming did not speak. He simply looked at Fang Shen calmly. There was not a hint of emotion in his eyes as he looked at him quietly. There might not be a deep meaning behind his gaze, but if Fang Shen could become the tribe leader of Tranquil East Tribe, he would definitely not be as boorish as he appeared.
From the moment Su Ming came into contact with Fang Mu until now, he had laid down his plans step by step. Besides liking Fang Mu, the main reason he did so was to get in touch with Tranquil East Tribe. His goal in getting in touch with Tranquil East Tribe was to become part of Han Mountain City, but at the end of the day, the root of all this was a topographic map!
Su Ming did not use Fang Mu's healing as a hostage. Fang Shen understood this, and it was precisely because of this that he could not refuse certain things.
When interacting with others, returning the favor was the most important thing. Su Ming healing Fang Mu, and Fang Shen searching for herbs for Su Ming. This might be a trade, but deep down, it was also a favor.
Fang Shen knew that he now owed Su Ming a favor. At the same time, he also understood that if Mo Su dared to make this second request, it was clear that besides wanting Fang Shen to return the favor, Mo Su was also confident that he could completely heal Fang Mu.
"Alright, I won't say anymore. If the Elder doesn't agree to the topographic map, I'll get it for you!" Fang Shen suddenly said.
"Thank you!" Su Ming wrapped his fist in his palm and bowed towards Fang Shen. When he lifted his head, he spoke unhurriedly, "Third, I want to meet Han Cang Zi."
"I can agree to the first two requests, but I can't make the decision for the third. But I'll tell my sister and let her decide," Fang Shen said unhurriedly as he looked at Su Ming.
"Alright." No one could see Su Ming's expression due to his mask. They could only see that his eyes were as calm as still water.
Su Ming brought out the guest plate from Tranquil East and handed it to Fang Shen. Then, he nodded towards the Chief of War by his side and walked down the stairs. He sat down cross-legged and waited quietly.
Fang Shen hesitated for a moment before he asked, "How long will it take to heal my son and … how should I find you?"
"Within three months. As for how to find me, even if you can't find me, Han Cang Zi can, "Su Ming said softly.
"Oh?" A glint appeared in Fang Shen's eyes and a smile appeared on his face. He wrapped his fist in his palm towards Su Ming. "Brother Mo, since you're so confident, then I'll congratulate you in advance." As he spoke, he turned around and led his followers towards the mountain.
The Chief of War cast a glance at Su Ming and hesitated for a moment. Once everyone left, he remained silent for a moment before he turned around to leave.
"Chief of War, what is it? Please speak." Su Ming opened his eyes and looked at the Chief of War.
"Brother Mo, do you know Si Ma Xin?"
"Si Ma Xin? Who is he?" Su Ming shook his head.
The Chief of War sighed softly and a hint of disappointment appeared briefly in his eyes.
"This person … looks very similar to you, brother Mo … If you have the chance to meet him in the future, please tell him that Bei Xi from Tranquil East Tribe has Transcended and greet him.
Thank you. " The Chief of War bowed towards Su Ming before he turned around and left. His back looked rather desolate as he slowly disappeared from Su Ming's sight.
'Si Ma Xin … looks similar to me?' Su Ming frowned.
He did not wait for long before someone came from the mountain of Tranquil East Tribe. The person who came was a middle-aged man. With a respectful expression, he placed two brocade boxes before Su Ming before he bowed and left.
There was a hint of desire hidden deep within Su Ming's eyes. He lowered his head and looked at the two brocade boxes before him. He knew that one of them contained a map of the terrain!
