Tushan Town was not close to the Shenwu Academy. In the past, when Su Mo was at the Martial Emperor Realm, it would take him two days to get there.
However, now that he had broken through to the Rank 3 Martial Honorable Realm, his speed was much faster than before.
He activated the two Natal Spiritual Swords and brought You Tian Han's avatar with him. In less than a day and a half, they arrived at Shenwu Academy.
From afar, he looked at the Fallen Star where the Shenwu Academy was located and felt a little emotional.
Originally, he thought that he would not return to Shenwu Academy. He did not expect to be back so soon.
In Shenwu Academy, he still had a few friends, such as Ren Yundu, Xie Bin, Grand Master Huoyuan, who had helped him before, and Instructor Mu Li, who was as cold as ice.
This time, Su Mo did not hide anything. As he neared Shenwu Academy, he kept his Natal Spiritual Sword and swaggered towards Shenwu Academy with You Tian Han's avatar.
Sou sou!
In the blink of an eye, the two of them landed in front of the gates of Shenwu Academy.
There were a few disciples standing guard in front of the gate. There were also some disciples going in and out. Everyone was stunned when they saw Su Mo.
"Isn't … isn't this Su Mo?"
"Su Mo is still alive?"
"Oh my god, isn't he dead?"
Everyone's eyes widened as they stared at Su Mo in disbelief. The sudden appearance of a person who had died a long time ago made them feel a little depressed.
Su Mo's face was calm as he strode forward. Together with You Tian Han's avatar, they passed through the gate and entered Shenwu Academy.
In Shenwu Academy, a large number of Outer Mansion Disciples had also discovered Su Mo and instantly, there was an uproar.
Everyone was shocked. It was rumored that Su Mo had been killed by Grand Priest Wu Lun of the Sorcerer Tribe. It was unbelievable that Su Mo had suddenly appeared.
Su Mo ignored everyone and went straight into the inner mansion with his avatar.
Then, he separated from his doppelganger. His doppelganger had its own mountain, but he did not.
Su Mo moved like lightning and flew directly to the center of the inner mansion, one of the tallest peaks. That was Huoyuan Peak, where Grand Master Huoyuan lived.
Whoosh!
After a while, Su Mo's figure landed steadily on Huoyuan Peak.
On Huoyuan Peak, it was completely silent. There was not a single person in sight.
Su Mo slowly walked to the front of the palace and immediately cupped his fists. He said, "Senior Huoyuan, Su Mo is back!"
Su Mo's voice floated above Huoyuan Peak, but there was no response.
He knew that Grand Master Huoyuan was in the palace because he could feel a profound aura from within.
After a while, the palace doors opened on their own. Grand Master Huoyuan's old voice rang out slowly, "Come in!"
Su Mo nodded, took a deep breath, and strode into the palace.
In the palace, Su Mo saw Grand Master Huoyuan. His hair was white and he was sitting cross-legged on a futon. He looked like an old man past his prime and had not changed at all.
"Greetings, senior!" Su Mo came before Grand Master Huoyuan and bowed once again.
Looking at the old man in front of him, Su Mo's heart was filled with emotions. In his life, he had met many benefactors. Saint Zhen Xian was one, and so was Grand Master Huo Yuan.
"Sit!" Saint Zhen Xian looked at Su Mo and waved his sleeve. A futon appeared at Su Mo's feet.
"Thank you, senior!" Su Mo thanked him and sat down cross-legged.
"It's good that you are alive!" Grand Master Huoyuan looked at Su Mo. After a while, he nodded slightly.
He did not ask Su Mo how he had survived, nor did he ask Su Mo why he had taken so long to return.
These were not important. What was important was that he was alive.
Looking at the young man in front of him, Grand Master Huoyuan felt helpless. Su Mo was an exceptional craftsman. If he were to learn craftsmanship from him, he would only need a hundred years to become a Sage Class Craftsman.
However, Su Mo was not interested in craftsmanship and he did not want to force it.
"Senior Huoyuan, thank you for your care in the past!" Su Mo said sincerely. Although he had not been in Shenwu Academy for a long time, the help that Grand Master Huoyuan had given him was huge.
"You don't have to thank me. As a disciple of Shenwu Academy, I will naturally protect you!" Grand Master Huoyuan shook his head slightly. He knew that Su Mo was thanking him for giving him protection in front of Wu Lun.
"I will remember senior's kindness. However, I am unable to learn craftsmanship from you. I have let you down!" Su Mo sighed.
"It's alright. Mu Li's craftsmanship talent is also very high. She will inherit my craftsmanship skills!" Grand Master Huoyuan said.
"That's good!" Su Mo smiled. Although Instructor Mu Li looked cold on the outside, she was a person who was cold on the outside but warm on the inside.
"Your current cultivation has already reached the Martial Honoured Realm. Go to the Outer Mansion's Internal Affairs Hall and collect your mountain peak!" Grand Master Huoyuan said.
"Yes, then I will take my leave!" Su Mo nodded his head and stood up. He bowed to Grand Master Huoyuan again and then left.
Looking at Su Mo's back, Grand Master Huoyuan's eyes gradually lit up and his face was filled with emotion.
"A true genius!" Grand Master Huoyuan muttered to himself. He could naturally see that Su Mo's current cultivation rank was at the Rank 3 Martial Honoured Realm.
In less than two years, Su Mo had risen from the Rank 6 Martial Emperor Realm to the Rank 3 Martial Honoured Realm. This cultivation speed was slightly faster than Xuan Yuanlong, the Divine Son of the Shenwu Academy.
It was precisely because Su Mo had such a cultivation talent that Grand Master Huoyuan did not force Su Mo to learn craftsmanship.
After all, the martial way was the main path. Compared to the vast martial way, craftsmanship was ultimately a small path. It was only a supplementary path.
…
Taishi Peak, the mountain where the Holy Son of the Taishi Family Faction lived.
At that moment, there were no empty seats in the main hall. There were at least a few hundred people gathered.
The atmosphere in the main hall was incomparably heavy, as though a storm was brewing. It was so heavy that people could not breathe.
On the main seat, Taishi Jue, who was dressed in a silver robe, had a dark expression on his face as a cold light flashed in his eyes.
"Everyone, what do you think?" Taishi Jue looked around at the crowd and asked in a loud voice.
"Holy Son, since Su Mo and You Tian Han have returned, Ji Feng must have failed!"
"They should already be dead!"
"Su Mo's cultivation rank has already reached the Rank 3 Martial Honorable Realm. With his combat strength, Ji Feng and the rest will definitely die!"
The crowd spoke out one after another, their faces solemn. They had originally guessed that Su Mo's cultivation rank was at the Rank 1 Martial Honorable Realm. However, the current situation had completely exceeded their expectations.
Taishi Jue silently nodded his head. Su Mo's combat strength was exceptional and he was ruthless. It was impossible for Ji Feng and the rest to still be alive.
"Holy Son, we definitely cannot let Su Mo live. Now that we have completely fallen out with him, we might as well go all out and kill him!" Someone suggested.
"That sounds nice, but how do we kill him?" Taishi Jue's face was dark as he asked. Now that Su Mo was in the Academy, how could they do anything?
Furthermore, Su Mo was a member of the Imperial Ancestor Court Faction and Gu Tian Yi would definitely not sit by and do nothing.
"This …!" The disciple was stunned for a moment before he hurriedly said, "Then we will wait for him to leave the Academy before we act. Otherwise, we will immediately send someone to inform the Sorcerer Tribe."
"That's right, I agree!"
"Su Mo has killed so many of our people, we should get rid of him as soon as possible!"
"We definitely can't let him continue to grow!"
The disciples of the Taishi Family Faction all agreed to get rid of Su Mo as soon as possible. Su Mo's growth was simply too fast.
Taishi Jue was silent as a thoughtful look flashed across his eyes.
A few moments later, he said, "Immediately send someone to the Sorcerer Tribe to pass the news and send someone to closely monitor Su Mo's movements. If Su Mo does not leave Shenwu Academy, let the Sorcerer Tribe think of a way to deal with him. If he leaves Shenwu Academy, we will strike first."
"Yes!" The crowd instantly responded.
With that, the group of disciples of the Taishi Family Faction left the Grand Hall.
Taishi Jue stared at the backs of the crowd as his face darkened. Su Mo's combat strength was too strong. Now that he had reached the Rank 3 Martial Honorable Realm, even if he personally attacked Su Mo, he had no confidence that he could kill Su Mo.
