Chapter 130: Undercurrent of Skymoon Country

Tiger Roaring and Dragon Fist was an extremely powerful martial arts technique that the long-faced youth of the Ulti-mystery Sect hadn’t given full play of.

Su Mo was quite satisfied with this martial arts technique. He put it away for his future cultivation.

After checking the rest of the elixir, golden tickets and spiritual stones, Su Mo put them all away as well.

There were 5 or 6 bottles of elixirs, 400,000 golden tickets and more than 30 spiritual stones.

Spiritual stones were essential for the rapid increase in cultivation for martial artists who were over the Spiritual Martial Realm.

However, since Su Mo had his Devouring Martial Spirit, he didn’t use spiritual many stones.

The following days went by easily.

Su Mo stayed in the City Governor’s Mansion.

He spent each day strengthening his cultivation, refining his genuine Qi, and improving his physical body.

Although most of the Ironforest Country troops had retreated, there were still a few that they had captured in Skymoon Country stationed in the town. They were waiting for back up to arrive to launch a second attack.

However, it was said that Skymoon Country’s troop was also waiting for support on the way to seize a chance of a counterattack.

So, Su Mo was in no hurry to leave.

Another half a month passed by, the disciples of the four sects started to return to their abodes.

Many Gale Island disciples left as well.

Li Feng and the other two became restless.

In the courtyard, Su Mo, Li Feng, Zhou Xin and Niu Xiaohu were sitting at a stone table.

“Senior Brother Su Mo, many disciples have left. Should we leave too?” Niu Xiaohu asked.

“How about staying for a few more days? I’m not sure if the Ironforest Country troop will attack again,” Su Mo said after thinking for a while.

The battlefield was the best place for him to improve his strength rapidly. He did not want to leave so soon.

“Senior Brother Su, the Ironforest Country troop has suffered substantial damages. It may take quite some time for them to redress. They are unlikely to attack right away.”

Zhou Xin said again, “Meanwhile, we’re not aware when our support will arrive. There will not be a war anytime soon.”

Su Mo thought about it and said, “In half a month. If there hasn’t been a war by then, let’s go back to Gale Island.”

Indeed, he didn’t have any more time to waste.

Time passed by quickly.

In the twinkle of an eye, half a month passed by. The Ironforest Country troop didn’t launch a second attack and the support of Skymoon Country hadn’t arrived yet.

Su Mo was ready to return.

Along with Li Feng and the other two, Su Mo came to the hall of the City Governor’s Mansion to meet Fang Xiao, the city governor, and bid him farewell.

“City Governor Fang, I’m going back to Gale Island.”

Holding his palms together, Su Mo saluted Fang Xiao with great respect. He said, “Many thanks for your protection, City Governor Fang. If it weren’t for your help I wouldn’t be alive now!”

“No words can express my gratitude for your kindness. If you need help, please let me know,” Su Mo said sincerely.

He really appreciated Fang Xiao’s help in protecting him. Regardless of the reason, Fang Xiao had saved his life.

If he had the chance in the future, Su Mo would definitely repay him for saving his life.

“Ho ho, it wasn’t a big deal, don’t let it bother you!”

Fang Xiao smiled and then said, “Su Mo, can you stay for a few more days? Our General has a great impression of you and he wishes to see you again!”

“But since the war just ended, he’s been busy reorganizing the troop and has been unable to meet you so far.”

Fang Xiao hoped that Su Mo could stay longer so that he could get to know him better.

Su Mo was the first man he had met that had such excellent talent. Even though he was not on par with the famous Four Talents of Skymoon Country, he would be a prominent powerful man in the future.

Fang Xiao believed that it would happen soon.

Therefore, he wanted to build on the relationship with him before that happened.

Su Mo thought for a while but shook his head and replied, “I don’t think so. General Yuan and I will meet one day if we’re fated to.”

“Well!”

Fang Xiao sighed and said, “Since you’re in a hurry to leave, I won’t hold you back. Take care!”

He held his hands together.

“OK! Farewell!” Su Mo said with a low, muffled voice.

He saluted Fang Xiao once again.

He turned around and prepared to leave with Li Feng and the other two.

“Su Mo, wait a second!”

After a short contemplation, Fang Xiao stopped Su Mo.

Su Mo was confused, so he asked, “City Governor Fang, anything else?”

..

Fang Xiao did not answer immediately but thought for a while and then asked in a deep voice, “Su Mo, what’s your opinion on the situation in Skymoon Country?”

“Situation?”

Stunned, Su Mo became even more confused.

“What’s the situation in Skymoon Country?”

“Regarding the war with Ironforest Country?”

Noticing Su Mo’s confusion, a glint appeared in Fang Xiao’s eyes. He said in a low voice, “Outwardly, Skymoon Country is controlled by the imperial family. However, everyone knows that the four sects are actually in charge.”

“Su Mo, you’re a disciple of Gale Island, one of the four sects. I’m wondering what your opinion about this is?”

Fang Xiao had a trace of a meaningful smile. He quietly watched Su Mo.

A special expression suddenly flashed through Su Mo’s eyes.

Fang Xiao had asked an ambiguous question that seemed harmless.

However, Su Mo understood.

The imperial family of Skymoon was unwilling to be controlled by the four sects. Their true intention was to reverse the situation and control Skymoon Country by themselves!

If the imperial family intended to control Skymoon Country all by themselves, their strength would have to surpass the strength of the four sects.

But did the imperial family have such strength?

Su Mo wasn’t sure. He did not know the imperial family at all.

“Ho ho, City Governor Fang, I’m just an Outer Disciple of Gale Island. I’m not in a position to discuss the affairs of the country.”

With no change on his face, Su Mo shook his head with a smile. He did not give a clear answer.

“Ha ha! Su Mo, you’re very modest! Given your talent, you will most definitely be famous in Skymoon Country within ten years.”

Since Su Mo had avoided the question, Fang Xiao quickly changed the topic with a laugh.

“Thanks for your blessing, City Governor Fang.”

Su Mo smiled and held his palms together again. He said, “If there’s nothing else I will leave.”

“Fine! Go!”

Fang Xiao smiled and nodded his head.

Su Mo, Li Feng and the other two were on their way back to Gale Island.

In no time, they were far away from Guanwu City.

In the hall of the City Governor’s Mansion, after Su Mo had left, a youth in white came out of a room in the hall.

He was extraordinary, with piercing brows and starry eyes.

“Master, Su Mo is an outstanding man. I wonder if he’ll be of use to you in future!”

Fang Xiao stood up and greeted the youth with great respect.

The youth shook his head slightly. He smiled wisely and said, “Su Mo’s just like a wild horse. He can’t be completely controlled by anyone. It’ll be easier to be his friend.”

“That’s a perfect plan!”

Fang Xiao nodded and said, “His combat strength is really amazing. A young man with such brilliant cultivation and outstanding talent, he will be the Master’s right-hand man in the future.”

The youth nodded slightly.
