In a tower of the Firmament Palace.
Su Mo sat on the main seat and Su Hong, Emperor Shi, Hai Mingjiang, Dragon King of the East Sea, Deputy Pavilion Leader Qian and a few other higher-ups of the Firmament Palace sat on both sides of him.
"Mo 'er, you scared us to death. Now, there are rumors everywhere that you are dead!" Su Hong said with a face full of fear.
Now, not to mention the cities outside, even in Tushan Town, there were rumors about Su Mo.
First on the True Sage Board, godly genius Su Mo had shone in the True Sage Territory and defeated the godly geniuses of the Sorcerer Tribe, Wu Shang, Wu Ren Wang and Ju Mo of the Giant Beings. He was already invincible in the Martial Emperor Realm.
However, Su Mo had dug his own grave. Not only had he killed Wu Shang and Wu Ren Wang, he had also insulted the Grand Priest of the Sorcerer Tribe of the Heavenly Underworld Star. In the end, he was killed by the Grand Priest.
All in all, the news about Su Mo was overwhelming in every corner of the world.
Currently, the entire Firmament Palace was in a panic. Millions of disciples thought that Su Mo was dead and they had lost their pillar of support.
There were also a large number of disciples who wanted to kill the Sorcerer Tribe and take revenge for Su Mo.
If it wasn't for the Palace's strict order that no one was allowed to leave, many people would have fought with the Sorcerer Tribe.
In the hearts of the Firmament Palace disciples, Su Mo's position was irreplaceable. No one could accept Su Mo's death.
"That's right! Su Mo, what exactly is going on? "Emperor Shi asked curiously.
"Palace Master, the Sorcerer Tribe is powerful. You have to be careful in the future!" Hai Mingjiang's face was solemn.
Su Mo smiled and waved his hand, "Everyone, don't worry. I hid it from the Sorcerer Tribe and they already think that I am dead. There won't be any danger in the future!"
"That's good!" The crowd nodded. If that was the case, they would indeed be much safer.
Immediately after, Su Mo fell silent and said in a deep voice, "Regarding the news that I am the Palace Master of the Firmament Palace, we must seal it tightly. Not a single bit of it can be leaked!"
"Palace Master, don't worry. I have already instructed all the disciples to keep their mouths shut!" Hai Mingjiang said.
"En!"
Su Mo nodded. He then looked at Emperor Shi and said, "However, for safety's sake, in case any disciple accidentally leaks the news, from today onwards, I will not be the Palace Master. Father-in-law, you will be the Palace Master!"
"This … isn't very appropriate, right?"
Emperor Shi was stunned and hesitated. He had no objection to being the Palace Master, but his strength was not very strong in the Firmament Palace. Hai Mingjiang, Dragon King of the East Sea, Deputy Pavilion Leader Qian and the others were not weaker than him. He was afraid that others would have objections.
"Do you all agree?" Su Mo looked at the others.
"We have no objections!" The crowd said in unison. Since Su Mo had said so, they naturally had no objections.
Furthermore, even if Su Mo was no longer the Palace Master, he would still be the true Palace Master in everyone's hearts. That would never change.
"Alright, since there are no objections, from now on, father-in-law will be the Palace Master of Firmament Palace!" Su Mo announced solemnly.
"Yes!" Everyone answered in unison.
"En!"
Su Mo nodded. Then, he looked around and said in a deep voice, "Everyone, I have a mission for you to assign people to!"
"What is it? Palace Master, please instruct us! "Hai Mingjiang said.
"I have two friends in the Shenwu Academy. Their names are Nie Qian and Han Ying. They are imprisoned by the Academy's Law Enforcement Hall. I need you to send some people to investigate the situation!" Su Mo said.
"Su Mo, if you are not an Inner Disciple, it is not easy to enter the Shenwu Academy, right?" Emperor Shi frowned and said.
"There is no need to go in. Just send some people to the cities near the Shenwu Academy. If you find any Shenwu Academy disciples, you can get information from them!" Su Mo warned. He did not want to get too close to the Shenwu Academy, in case he was recognized.
Although he had changed his appearance, the warriors who had seen him and were above the Martial Honored Realm could easily see through his identity.
"Alright, I will go and arrange it!" Hai Mingjiang immediately got up and went to arrange it.
"Elder Hai, wait!"
Su Mo hurriedly stopped Hai Mingjiang and warned him, "Remember, tell everyone to be careful. Do not reveal anything about me!"
"Understood!" Hai Mingjiang nodded and immediately left.
After that, Su Mo chatted with the others for a while and understood the development of the Firmament Palace in detail.
The development of the Firmament Palace could be said to be at a rapid pace. Not only did the cultivation of the higher-ups soar, but the cultivation of the disciples was also at a rapid pace.
For example, Emperor Shi, Deputy Pavilion Leader Qian, and the others had reached Level 3 Martial Emperor Realm. Even Su Hong had reached Level 3 True Darkness Realm.
One year ago, Su Hong was only at Level 8 Enlightenment Realm. In a short span of a year, he had consecutively soared to four realms and he had even crossed a realm.
This was because Su Hong was now a martial artist with Twin Martial Souls, and one of them was a Fighting Soul.
Among the disciples, there were countless martial artists who had reached Martial King and Martial Royal Realm. The number of Martial Emperors had increased by more than 30.
It could be said that the current Firmament Palace was many times more powerful than when he had just left the Firmament World.
However, what worried Su Mo was the serious shortage of resources in the Firmament Palace.
The Spiritual Stone Mine that he had left previously had been used up.
There was no other way. There were millions of people in the Firmament Palace. A mere Spiritual Stone Mine could not support them for long.
As for the people of the Firmament Palace, they usually cultivated diligently. The amount of Spiritual Stones and Spiritual Crystals they could earn was really limited.
Fortunately, Liang Tong's Craftsmanship Hall was developing well. There were more than 800 craftsmen and they could craft a large number of divine weapons every day.
For this reason, the Firmament Palace had opened shops in several nearby cities to sell weapons and earn Spiritual Stones and Spiritual Crystals for the Firmament Palace.
However, the Craftsmanship Hall could not craft high-level weapons, so the income it could bring was very limited. It was simply not enough to support the huge consumption of the Firmament Palace.
After Su Hong, Emperor Shi, and the others had all left, Su Mo sat alone in the tower.
"Alas!"
Su Mo let out a long sigh. His voice was filled with helplessness and exhaustion. He still had to rely on himself.
It was too slow to let the Firmament Palace develop on its own.
Su Mo felt that the burden on his shoulders was very heavy. The Firmament Palace had to develop, he had to find Hong Qingxuan, and he had to find the Gate of reincarnation to save Qian Xunyue. He also had to quickly become stronger.
Not a single matter could be left unattended. Everything made him unable to relax, and he felt a little mentally and physically exhausted.
However, he did not want to leave anything behind. Perhaps this was his character!
His character determined his life!
He was destined to be tied down for the rest of his life!
He would be tied down by the people around him and the things around him. He would never be able to get rid of them, unless he could reach the peak!
If he could abandon everything, he would be able to freely travel the starry sky and pursue his own life. However, he could not do that.
"Avatar!" After a long time, Su Mo's eyes flashed as he thought of a better way.
