"Su Mo is not guilty. I'm taking him away!"
As the voice rang out, a cool breeze suddenly appeared in the main hall.
In the next moment, a fair-faced middle-aged man with a sage-like demeanor and a mustache suddenly appeared in the hall.
"Greetings, Highest Elder!"
All the elders, including Duan Jingtian, stood up and bowed to the middle-aged man.
"Hmm!"
The middle-aged man nodded slightly, looked at Su Mo, and said flatly, "Come with me!"
Then, the middle-aged man turned around and walked out without another word.
Su Mo was surprised that this middle-aged man was the Highest Elder.
It was said that the Highest Elder's status was much higher than the First Elders of the Elders Group and was comparable to the island owner.
Su Mo was confused. He had nothing to do with the Highest Elder. Why did the Highest Elder come to help him?
However, it was obviously not the time to think about this. Since he could escape, Su Mo would not refuse.
Su Mo hurriedly turned around and followed the Highest Elder out.
"Wait!"
At this moment, Duan Jingtian suddenly said in a low voice, "Highest Elder, Su Mo has committed a heinous crime. You can't take him away!"
Hearing Duan Jingtian's words, the Highest Elder stopped and slowly turned around to look at him.
"If I say he's guilty, then he's guilty. If I say he's innocent, then he's innocent!"
The Highest Elder's words were flat but extremely domineering. He could decide whether Su Mo was guilty or not.
Su Mo was surprised that the Highest Elder was so domineering.
The elders on Duan Jingtian's side were silent. No one dared to offend the Highest Elder. The Second Elder and the others on the Highest Elder's side had a faint smile on their faces.
Duan Jingtian's face darkened, and a sharp light flashed in his eyes. He said coldly, "Highest Elder, although you're in a high position, you can't trample on the rules of the Sect!"
Duan Jingtian knew that he could not stop the Highest Elder, but he still said reluctantly. Su Mo had killed so many of his men, and he was not willing to let it go.
Hearing Duan Jingtian's words, Highest Elder narrowed his eyes and spat out two thunderous words, "How dare you talk to me like this … How dare you talk to me like this!"
The Great Elder's words formed a powerful sound wave that spread forward.
The speed of the sound wave was indescribably fast. Wherever it passed, the space would distort, and an ear-piercing whistle could be heard.
The sound wave instantly swept over Duan Jingtian. His body shook violently, and a trace of scarlet came out of his mouth and ears.
The Highest Elder's words hurt Duan Jingtian.
Sound wave attack?
Su Mo was shocked. The Highest Elder, whose cultivation was comparable to the island owner, was indeed extraordinarily powerful.
"You don't have the right to question me. If you have any questions, tell Yun Tu to look for me!"
The Great Elder said indifferently, then turned around and left.
Yun Tu was the name of the Island Lord.
Su Mo hurriedly followed the Highest Elder out of the room.
The crowd outside the hall made way for Su Mo. No one dared to block Su Mo's way, and they soon disappeared from everyone's sight.
Duan Jingtian stood there in a daze, clenching his fists tightly. His heart was filled with endless anger, but his face was quite calm.
He knew that the Highest Elder was an obstacle to him, an obstacle to completely controlling Gale Island.
Even if he became the real Island Lord in the future, he could not completely control Gale Island without getting rid of the Highest Elder!
"True Nirvana Realm?"
Duan Jingtian murmured, and a trace of coldness flashed in his eyes. Then, he turned around and left.
The ten Great Elders all had different expressions on their faces. The people from the Island Master's faction naturally had ugly expressions, while the people from the Great Elder's faction all had smiles on their faces.
Then, the Ten Great Elders did not say anything more and left with their own thoughts.
…
Su Mo followed the Highest Elder silently, and soon, they arrived at the back mountain.
The back mountain was the forbidden area of Gale Island. It was silent, and there was no one there.
The Highest Elder led Su Mo into an immortal's cave, which was located in the middle of the mountain. It was spacious enough to be compared to a spacious courtyard.
The rock walls of the immortal's cave were inlaid with beautiful blue gems.
As soon as Su Mo entered the immortal's cave, he felt the rich Spiritual Qi rushing toward him, and he was immediately refreshed.
"What a rich Spiritual Qi!"
Su Mo was amazed by the Spiritual Qi in the immortal's cave. It was more than 10 times richer than outside.
At this moment, there was an old man sitting at a stone table in the immortal's cave.
This old man was Su Mo's Master, Elder Wei!
"Master!"
Su Mo suddenly understood that it was Elder Wei who had asked the Highest Elder to help.
Seeing the two of them, Elder Wei hurriedly stood up and nodded to Su Mo. Then, he bowed to the Highest Elder and said, "Thank you, Highest Elder, for saving my disciple's life!"
"It's no big deal. Remember what you said!"
The Highest Elder waved his hand and said.
"Don't worry, Highest Elder. I will never go back on my words!"
Elder Wei nodded and said.
"Alright!" The Highest Elder nodded.
Su Mo heard their conversation and sighed inwardly. It seemed that Elder Wei had paid a price for the Highest Elder to save him!
Su Mo suddenly felt that he owed Elder Wei a little. Although Elder Wei had not taught him much, he had saved him several times.
At this moment, the Highest Elder turned to look at Su Mo and said with a smile, "Su Mo, you're extraordinarily talented, even better than Duan Jingtian. Work hard, and it won't be difficult for you to surpass Duan Jingtian in the future!"
Su Mo nodded and said with his fists clasped, "Thank you, Highest Elder, for saving my life. I won't let you down!"
The Highest Elder nodded and thought for a while. Then, he suddenly asked, "Su Mo, do you want to inherit the island owner's position?"
"Island owner?"
Su Mo was stunned and then said, "Highest Elder, you must be joking. Duan Jingtian is the island owner's successor!"
"He's just a successor. Any outstanding genius has the hope of becoming the island owner in the future!"
The Highest Elder shook his head and said, "If your strength can surpass Duan Jingtian before he becomes the island owner, I'll help you become the island owner!"
The Highest Elder smiled and was very satisfied with Su Mo's talent. He and the island owner had competed with each other on Gale Island and had cultivated several outstanding geniuses, all of whom were core disciples in the True Spirit Realm. However, none of them could surpass Duan Jingtian, which put him at a disadvantage.
Now, Su Mo, a one-in-a-million genius, appeared, and he saw an opportunity.
That was why he came forward to save Su Mo. Otherwise, he would not come forward even if Elder Wei begged him.
Su Mo was silent. He was not interested in the island owner's position, but he would definitely surpass Duan Jingtian, and the time would come soon.
After a while, Su Mo said with a smile, "Highest Elder, it will take at least a few years for Duan Jingtian to inherit the island owner's position! I don't think he will have the chance! "
Su Mo's face was firm and his words were full of confidence.
"Haha! Good! I'll wait for you to surpass him! "
The Highest Elder laughed when he saw Su Mo's confidence.
"Grand Elder, since this matter has been settled, the two of us will not disturb your cultivation!"
At this time, Elder Wei cupped his fists to the Highest Elder and said goodbye.
"Okay! You can go back! "
The Highest Elder waved his hand.
