"Come in!" Su Mo lightly called out when he heard the voice.
Following this, the entrance of the stone hall was pushed open, and a chubby young man with a round face wearing a crimson armor walked in.
This man was none other than Heng Fei, who had recognized Su Mo back at Red Dragon Camp. He had even left the word "Su" on the chair.
Su Mo's avatar had been in Red Dragon Camp for a long time and he had very few friends. Heng Fei was the only one he had.
This plump man was quick-witted and he would often chat with Su Mo's avatar. As time passed, the two of them became closer.
"Heng Fei, what's the matter?" Su Mo looked at Heng Fei. Normally, Heng Fei would call him Team Leader outside but in private, he would call him by his name.
"Brother Shangguan, Squadron Leader just now …!" Heng Fei walked into the stone hall and was about to speak. However, when he saw Su Mo, his voice stopped abruptly.
Staring blankly at Su Mo, Heng Fei carefully sized him up and a bright flash passed through his eyes.
With one look, he realized that Su Mo had changed. His cultivation rank had become higher and his aura had changed completely.
The real Su Mo had returned!
In an instant, Heng Fei knew that the real Su Mo had returned.
Back then, when Su Mo had disguised himself as Shangguan Hao and came to Red Dragon Camp, Heng Fei had recognized Su Mo.
Later on, he realized that Su Mo had changed. He was completely different from before and he knew that it wasn't the real Su Mo.
However, Su Mo had suddenly returned and his cultivation rank had become unfathomable.
"Brother Heng, long time no see!" Su Mo smiled. He knew that Heng Fei knew that his previous avatar wasn't his real body.
"Hehe, Brother Shangguan, you are finally back!" Heng Fei wore a bright smile on his face as he walked towards Su Mo.
"Brother Heng, thank you!" Su Mo cupped his fists towards Heng Fei. During this period of time, his avatar had kept a low profile and did not step out of his room. Heng Fei had helped him a lot.
Although it wasn't a big favor, it was just a small errand.
"Haha, there is nothing to thank me for!" Heng Fei waved his hand dismissively.
"Oh right, you mentioned Squadron Leader just now? What is it about? "Su Mo asked. Their team belonged to the squadron and the Squadron Leader was Zhu Ying.
"It's like this!"
Heng Fei sighed and said, "Squadron Leader has just passed down an order for you to head to the southern border and investigate the situation of the Blood Pupil Clan and the Tuo Luo Kingdom!"
"Send me?" When Su Mo heard this, he frowned. The Imperial Ancestor Court Faction had stationed a million troops at the border. Why would they need him to investigate the enemy?
"Yeah! He said that the Blood Pupil Clan and the Tuo Luo Kingdom are up to something! "Heng Fei sighed.
"Go and tell Zhu Ying that I will not go!" Su Mo shook his head. The Red Dragon Camp was the direct army of the King and it was stationed in Saint Royal City. It would only be mobilized if something big happened.
But now, Zhu Ying actually sent him to the border to investigate the enemy's situation. This was too ridiculous!
Su Mo knew what Zhu Ying was thinking. Zhu Ying was the Third Prince's man while Su Mo was the Eighth Prince's man. Zhu Ying was constantly thinking of ways to suppress Su Mo!
This kind of thing had happened to the avatar several times in the past, and the avatar had always endured it.
But now that his main body had returned, why should he continue to endure?
Furthermore, he did not know when the Sorcerer Tribesmen would arrive. It was even more impossible for him to leave Saint Emperor City.
"Ah!"
Heng Fei was stumped and he warned, "If that is the case, the squadron leader will be furious. He will find out about your weakness and suppress you harshly."
"No worries, I have tolerated him for a long time. If he wants to cause trouble, I will accompany him to the end!" Su Mo replied nonchalantly.
Su Mo did not like Zhu Ying. Previously, he and a group of Shenwu Academy disciples from the Imperial Ancestor Court Faction had gone to Black Mountain Fort. Zhu Ying had not allowed them to enter the fort and had instead sent them to guard the Spiritual Stone Mine.
After that, the Spiritual Stone Mine had been attacked by the Blood Pupil Clan. The fort was very close to the mine and the Blood Pupil Clan had only sent reinforcements after the battle had ended.
It was obvious what was going on. The other party wanted to use the Blood Pupil Clan to get rid of all of them.
"This … alright!" Heng Fei hesitated for a moment before he finally nodded his head.
He could not see Su Mo's cultivation rank. Since Su Mo was a Rank 9 Martial Emperor, that meant that Su Mo was at least a Rank 3 Martial Honorable, no lower than Zhu Ying.
Su Mo might really be able to fight against Zhu Ying.
With that, Heng Fei turned around and walked out of the stone hall to report to Su Mo.
Su Mo shook his head helplessly. Did Zhu Ying think that Su Mo was easy to bully because of his avatar's hard work?
It would be fine if Zhu Ying did not provoke Su Mo. Otherwise, Zhu Ying would lose his position as a squadron leader.
Immediately after, Su Mo closed his eyes and started to cultivate in peace.
However, Su Mo did not cultivate for long before he heard chaotic footsteps outside the stone hall.
"Shangguan Hao, come out!" A loud shout suddenly rang through the air like thunder, alarming half of the Red Dragon Camp.
Su Mo opened his eyes and a sharp, cold ray of light flashed across his eyes.
With a mental thought, Su Mo saw the situation outside. The stone hall that he was staying in had been surrounded.
Zhu Ying, who was dressed in white armor, had his head held high and his chest puffed out. He was leading 9 squad leaders as he stood in front of the stone hall with a cold smile on his face.
Zhu Ying was the squadron leader and he had 10 squad leaders under him. The other 9 squad leaders were all loyal to the Third Prince.
Only Su Mo was not the Third Prince's man but the Eighth Prince, Gu Tian Yi's man.
As such, he had been repeatedly suppressed by Zhu Ying.
"Rank 3 Martial Honorable Realm?" Su Mo sneered. A few years ago, Zhu Ying was only a Rank 1 Martial Honorable. Now, his cultivation rank had reached Rank 3 Martial Honorable Realm.
However, Su Mo did not care about this cultivation rank.
With that, Su Mo stood up and opened the door of the stone hall before he strode out.
"Shangguan Hao, you have disobeyed a military order. Do you know your crime?"
The moment Su Mo walked out of the stone hall, a loud shout rang through the air. The person who had spoken was a tall and skinny young man. It was Lai Yu, who had been defeated by Su Mo.
Lai Yu was the original squad leader of the 29th squad. Although he had been defeated by Su Mo and lost his position as a squad leader, he was strong and under Zhu Ying's arrangements, he had regained the position of a squad leader.
"Squadron Leader, why are you making such a big fuss?" Su Mo did not even look at Lai Yu as he stared at Zhu Ying and asked in a deep voice.
"Shangguan Hao, did you not hear what I said?" Lai Yu's face instantly darkened as he questioned Su Mo angrily.
Lai Yu was filled with hatred towards Shangguan Hao. After all, he had been defeated by Shangguan Hao previously and he had lost his face.
Zhu Ying, who was dressed in white armor, stared coldly at Su Mo and couldn't help but frown.
This was because he realized that Shangguan Hao's cultivation rank was actually the same as his, Rank 3 Martial Honorable Realm.
