Chapter 1338: Young Master of Divine Phoenix Island
In truth, there was a moment earlier when Su Zimo even triggered a killing intent towards Mighty Figure Heavenly Phoenix!
If Mighty Figure Heavenly Phoenix took the initiative to challenge him, it would mean that his guess was true!
He would then attack logically during the fights and even if he did not kill Mighty Figure Heavenly Phoenix, he would cripple the latter!
Unfortunately, Mighty Figure Heavenly Phoenix did not express anything.
He merely stood at the back and allowed Jing Ming and Jing Sheng to step in.
Right from the beginning, he had not said a single word.
Now that the other cultivators were hesitant, Mighty Figure Heavenly Phoenix was the first to step forward and take the lead to acknowledge him as the young master!
Therefore, even if Su Zimo could sense that Mighty Figure Heavenly Phoenix had other motives, he had no proof.
Everything was just his speculation and feelings.
If it was any other cultivator, they would be moved to tears at the sight of Mighty Figure Heavenly Phoenix taking the lead to acknowledge him as the young master and develop boundless trust in him.
However, Su Zimo had been through too much bloodshed and scheming in the cultivation world.
He believed in his intuition.
That was why he had been guarded against Mighty Figure Heavenly Phoenix the entire time.
Furthermore, he would not relax even if Mighty Figure Heavenly Phoenix took the initiative to bow down. Instead, he would be even more guarded!
“What are you guys waiting for? Hurry and greet the young master!”
Mighty Figure Heavenly Phoenix turned around and reminded the many Divine Phoenix Island cultivators not far away.
“Greetings, young master!”
Many cultivators reacted and bowed.
Mo Ying was delighted and smiled as well, cupping her fists at Su Zimo. “Greetings, young master.”
“Well done, Heavenly Phoenix,”
The Island Master of Divine Phoenix Island nodded slightly in praise of the actions of Mighty Figure Heavenly Phoenix.
Initially, there was a high chance that an intense conflict would break out on Divine Phoenix Island and it might even turn into an internal strife.
Now that Mighty Figure Heavenly Phoenix had taken the initiative to bow down, it was equivalent to resolving the conflict.
“Island Master, I have a presumptuous request,”
Mighty Figure Heavenly Phoenix knelt down and said.
“There’s no need for that, Heavenly Phoenix. Feel free to speak your mind,”
The Island Master of Divine Phoenix Island was delighted that a fight was spared. He waved his sleeves hurriedly and helped Mighty Figure Heavenly Phoenix up.
Mighty Figure Heavenly Phoenix said in a deep voice, “Although Jing Ming and Jing Sheng made a huge mistake, it was unintentional.”
“You wish to plead for mercy for the two of them?”
The Island Master of Divine Phoenix Island frowned slightly.
“No,”
Mighty Figure Heavenly Phoenix said sincerely, “I know that you were merely saying it out of spite when you mentioned that you wanted to cripple their cultivations earlier on. I’d like to accept the punishment on behalf of the two of them. Island Master, please show mercy and give them a chance to turn over a new leaf.”
“They cultivated for thousands of years to reach the Dharma Characteristic realm, it’s not easy,”
Jing Ming and Jing Sheng were so touched that their eyes brimmed with tears as they kowtowed repeatedly to Mighty Figure Heavenly Phoenix and the Island Master of Divine Phoenix Island in silence.
Su Zimo was silent.
It had to be said that it was truly not a fluke that Mighty Figure Heavenly Phoenix had such prestige on Divine Phoenix Island.
He pulled a trick there.
He did not plead for mercy and asked the Island Master of Divine Phoenix Island to let Jing Ming and Jing Sheng off.
Instead, he proposed to take the punishment on behalf of Jing Ming and Jing Sheng.
What sort of status did he possess?
He was a Conjoint Body Mighty Figure in possession of the Divine Phoenix Bone!
Furthermore, even if he wasn’t the young master, his status in Divine Phoenix Island was extremely high and no one else could compare to him.
There was no way the Island Master of Divine Phoenix Island could throw out a severe punishment after Mighty Figure Heavenly Phoenix’s suggestion.
Indeed, the Island Master of Divine Phoenix Island looked at Mighty Figure Heavenly Phoenix deeply. “Since that’s the case, head to the edge of the South Sea and face the cliffs to reflect on your actions.”
“Thank you, Island Master.”
Mighty Figure Heavenly Phoenix smiled gently.
That punishment was almost negligible.
The Island Master of Divine Phoenix Island turned to look at Mo Ying. “I’ll leave the young master’s accommodations, palace and daily affairs to you.”
“Yes!”
Mo Ying nodded.
As the Saber Attendant, Mo Ying served whoever wielded the Dragon Soul Saber.
The Island Master of Divine Phoenix Island turned to leave.
“Young master, I have to head to the edge of the South Sea to reflect and won’t be able to serve you for the time being. Please don’t blame me,” Mighty Figure Heavenly Phoenix apologized.
“Don’t worry,”
Su Zimo gave a fake smile.
Right then, the voice of the Island Master of Divine Phoenix Island sounded outside the Dragon Soul Hall.
“Everyone of Divine Phoenix Island, listen up! The Dragon Soul Saber already has a master and now, Long Mo will be the young master of Divine Phoenix Island!”
“Everyone of Divine Phoenix Island, you must obey the orders of the young master from now on!”
Although his voice was not loud, it spread to every corner of Divine Phoenix Island.
Every single living being of Divine Phoenix Island knew one thing—the young master of Divine Phoenix Island had been established. It was not Mighty Figure Heavenly Phoenix whom they were familiar with, but a cultivator named Long Mo!
Instantly, Divine Phoenix Island was in an uproar.
Suddenly, a surreal feeling rose in Su Zimo’s heart.
After he escaped death through the wild currents of the void, he arrived at Divine Phoenix Island and by some freak coincidence, became the young master of Divine Phoenix Island with a Conjoint Body Mighty Figure as a servant!
What was even more terrifying was that he could mobilize the entire Divine Phoenix Island as its young master!
It could be said that his status was only beneath a single person and above everyone else!
Of course, Divine Phoenix Island should not know of his true identity yet.
However, this was something that could not be hidden for long and would spread to Divine Phoenix Island sooner or later.
He wondered how they would feel if they knew that he was the Dao Lord Desolate Martial who was hunted by the immortal, Buddhist and fiend sects and was enemies with the primordial races.
Would they relinquish his position as the young master?
It was hard to say.
No matter what, he had to adapt to the situation.
At the very least, it was not a bad thing to become the young master of Divine Phoenix Island right now.
Furthermore, he had a chance to cultivate the Tidal Manual and Sea Calming Manual properly on Divine Phoenix Island.
If he was enlightened, he might even find the opportunity to advance to the Conjoint Body realm.
At that time, even if Divine Phoenix Island could not accommodate him, he would be able to protect himself and leave this place!
“Young master, let’s go.”
Mo Ying said, “I’ll take you to take a look at your palace. You can head out as well and let the cultivators on the island meet you.”
“Yes,”
Su Zimo nodded and left together with Mo Ying.
In Dragon Soul Hall, Jing Ming and Jing Sheng, the two cultivators who had survived a calamity, gradually calmed down. They came before Mighty Figure Heavenly Phoenix and bowed deeply. “Senior Brother Heavenly Phoenix, we will definitely remember this favor!”
“Get up, it’s nothing much,”
Mighty Figure Heavenly Phoenix smiled gently.
Thereafter, his eyes landed on Su Zimo’s back view from afar. Narrowing his gaze, he seemed to be in deep thoughts.
…
Under Mo Ying’s lead, Su Zimo took another spin around Divine Phoenix Island.
This time round, most of the cultivators on Divine Phoenix Island already knew him.
Many cultivators looked at him with deep curiosity.
Some of the sea race ladies shifted their beautiful eyes and stood far away, pointing at Su Zimo with sparkling eyes. They smiled secretly and blushed.
“What are those cultivators doing?”
Su Zimo pointed to the seaside not far away and asked curiously.
On the other side, some reefs appeared on the surface of the ocean with some cultivators sitting on them. Their sabers were placed horizontally across their knees as they gazed at the surface of the ocean.
“They’re comprehending,”
Mo Ying explained, “Back then, the Saber Emperor comprehended the Dao at the seaside and created the two secret manuals of the saber Dao, the Tidal Manual and Sea Calming Manual. These cultivators are trying to follow the tracks of the Saber Emperor in the past and comprehend that same mental state.”
