Chapter 2502: Three Souls Gather
Translator: Larbre Studio Editor: Larbre Studio
There were about seventy or so people from the Heavenly Palace. All of whom, led by Grand Elder Tian Ganglei, landed in the valley.
Su Mo’s eyes fell on the group and and, at a glance, he spotted Chu Tianxu. But he paid him no mind as his gaze fell on Di Yihun.
That was because he could feel strong telepathy coming from him. It felt as though Di Yihun was a sort of Arcana, one that could touch his mind.
“Di Yihun!” Su Mo muttered under his breath. This was the first time he had come face to face with Di Yihun.
Facing him, Su Mo felt neither hatred or any murderous intent, because this was arranged by destiny.
If he looked at it from Di Yihun’s perspective, the man might do the same.
Between them, this was their fate as enemies. There was no hatred. They simply had to fulfill their fate.
“Su Mo, congratulations on joining the Thousand Selection Fight!” Feeling Su Mo’s scorching gaze on him, Di Yihun looked over and said in a low voice.
Di Yihun had a unique temperament. Donned in a robe made of python skin, he might not have been considered tall and strong, but his upright posture resembled a green pine, standing out from the crowd.
A statement from Di Yihun was all it took for the bustling valley to fall silent.
Everyone understand what had been going on between the own. So, it was rather intriguing that Di Yihun had congratulated Su Mo.
“Not only that, I’ll win as well!” Su Mo said with pride as he stared into Di Yihun’s eyes.
He knew very well that Di Yihun had learned about his intention of joining the Thousand Selection Fight, and the other man would not let him get his way.
“I look forward to seeing how this turns out!” Di Yihun grinned. He would not argue with Su Mo, for that would be meaningless. Only the end result held significance.
Su Mo stared at him, not answering, but his brows slightly furrowed.
That was because Di Yihun handled things so calmly, as though he was in control of everything, and that filled Su Mo with uncertainty.
“What’s he up to?” Su Mo guessed. He would surely not believe that Di Yihun had nothing up his sleeve, but he could not know for sure what his specific plans were.
Based on what the representatives of the Heavenly Palace could do, the possibility of them claiming final victory, and therefore gaining the right to replace their God Realm Base, was quite low.
Other than that, Di Yihun would only have one of two tricks in mind.
First, Di Yihun would make sure that Su Mo himself would not win, and then convince the victor to allow him to lower the Plane once.
Second, Di Yihun could find a way to fight him during the Thousand Selection Fight.
It would be more likely that both approaches were implemented together. If Di Yihun fought Su Mo during the Thousand Selection Fight and won, that would be the best; and if not, Di Yihun would make sure Su Mo would not win.
Su Mo might be anxious, but even if the man fought him during the Thousand Selection fight, he was not afraid.
After all, during the Fight, everyone would be at the Fifth Grade, Low Rank of the True God Realm. No one could defeat him, not even the disciples from the Heavenly Palace.
He was only worried about the the other forces, like the ones from Ancient Demon State and the Sky Tyrant Court.
Su Mo sunk into deep thought and guesswork over and over again. After all, these were just assumptions. He could not be sure.
But, he had to take precautions and would rather believe anything could happen.
Their short conversation caught the attention of those around them. Many influential forces were talking in secret.
They were not fools. They could tell Su Mo’s participation in the Thousand Selection Fight was what Di Yihun had hoped for.
Few from the Ancient Demon State as well as Sky Tyrant State secretly exchanged glances. The excitement had just begun.
In the Heavenly Palace camp, Chu Tianxu remained expressionless. Occasionally, sharp flashes and murderous intent shone in his slightly closed eyes.
Last time, he had been caught by Su Mo and the Ultimate Supreme Being. This was his chance to settle old scores.
“So he’s not dead!” Feeling Chu Tianxu’s murderous intent, Su Mo peered at him too as he sighed deeply.
It had been over four years ago when he’d split up with the Ultimate Supreme Being. Back then, the Ultimate Supreme Being had given Chu Tianxu a Death Seal, coercing him to deal with Zi Xiao.
Death Seals would only last for a year. Since four years had passed, and the person in question was not dead, that meant the Ultimate Supreme Being had failed and the Death Seal had not worked.
Right then, another sound broke the silence. The members of the Earth Palace had arrived.
The Heavenly Palace followed the Dragon Tribe, whereas the Earth Palace followed those from the Heavenly Palace.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
About fifty of them descended to the valley.
Many Elders from the Earth Palace came, and among them were five Supreme Beings. Even the Di Yuan Palace Lord had come in person.
His eldest son, Di Cang Supreme Being, came as well. Tuoba Qingyun naturally would not miss this.
“Tuoba Qingyun!” Su Mo’s gaze immediately landed on his target. Introductions were not needed as he could identify the man just as easily as he recognized Di Yihun.
Tuoba Qingyun was not as threatening to Su Mo as Di Yihun was, but the man could not be underestimated.
The three of them could not afford a misstep. One wrong move and they would lose everything.
Tuoba Qingyun examined Su Mo with a sharp eye before peering at Di Yihun. He did not speak but rather stayed silent. No one knew what he was planning.
“Brother Qingyun, have you recovered?”
At that moment, Di Yihun spoke as he looked indifferently at him, as though they were merely old friends.
The crowd was surprised to hear that. When had Tuoba Qingyun been injured? By whom?
Tuoba Qingyun frowned, looking shady.
Without waiting for an answer, Di Yihun spoke further, “It was my fault for injuring you like that. I simply don’t know my own strength. I suppose, Brother Qingyun, you have been healing this whole time?”
The crowd was surprised to know that Di Yihun and Tuoba Qingyun had had an encounter a while ago, and that Tuoba was severely injured.
The crowd exchanged glances. It seemed that Tuoba Qingyun’s strength was slightly weaker than Di Yihun’s.
“Di Yihun, don’t pride yourself. I’d just exhausted too much power. Do you think you can really hurt me?” Tuoba Qingyun said coldly.
Tuoba Qingyun knew Di Yihun’s intention was to build himself up while stepping on him. That way, he could easily gain support from other forces.
“Very well then. You were bleeding out of your mouth and barely able to breathe. I could have sworn you were badly wounded,” Di Yihun nodded as he spoke lightheartedly.
“You… It takes more than that to take me down. You don’t have what it takes!” Tuoba Qingyun retorted, almost breathless.
The crowd said nothing as they watched them go, acknowledging their rivalry.
From what they saw, Di Yihun was definitely better then Tuoba Qingyun. Whether or not Tuoba Qingyun had been hurt was not the point.
Su Mo squinted. Based on the current situation. Tuoba Qingyun had already lost.
At the back of his mind, he considered he might need Tuoba Qingyun’s assistance to defeat Di Yihun.
But, he was in no hurry.. He would leave it until after the Thousand Selection Fight was over.
