As Fang Qingyun's beautiful flute music flowed to Su Mo's ears, he instantly felt a change in the surrounding area. Suddenly, he was back at Gale Island.
He was surrounded in the Inner Square.
Those who surrounded him were Duan Jingtian, Meng Han, Pang He, Qi Feiyu, and more.
"Su Mo, you shall die today!" Meng Han shouted in a murderous rage.
"Su Mo, nobody's going to save you today. You must die!" Duan Jingtian laughed coldly with a cruel look in his eyes.
"Charge!" Duan Jingtian and the rest attacked Su Mo rapidly.
Duan Jingtian brandished his golden halberd and the dragon's vigor was exerted straight at Su Mo.
Meng Han clapped his hands and the palm print exploded at Su Mo with an overwhelming force.
Pang He and Qi Feiyu also attacked Su Mo with strikes that were about to tear him to pieces.
"What's going on? Aren't I in Firmament Divine Realm?" Su Mo was filled with confusion and suspicion. As he turned to defend himself, he was caught off guard.
"It can't be! Didn't I kill them already?" Su Mo was surprised and suddenly realized, "This is a mirage! A powerful dreamland!"
Su Mo had heard that some people with strong willpower, who trained in special martial arts, were able to create dreamlands to trap their opponents. They could even kill them in the dreamland. He never expected to run into one of these people and almost fell into it.
Su Mo instantly closed his eyes, did away with all distractions and concentrated on his essence, qi, and spirit.
"Break!" Su Mo shouted in his heart and then opened his eyes. The mirage in front of him was gone and once again, he was outside Skygale Valley.
The moment he was trapped in the dreamland to the moment he woke up had only taken one breath, despite feeling like a long time.
Fang Qingyun's beautiful flute music was still flowing while everyone else was still trapped in their dreamland. Su Mo was the first to regain consciousness.
"Eh?" When Su Mo woke up, Fang Qingyun noticed immediately. She was taken by surprise.
Although her Illusional Melody dreamland was weakened by casting it on so many targets at once, it was not easy for a Level 5 True Spirit Realm martial artist to break.
Su Mo was only at Level 5 True Spirit Realm, yet he was the first to regain consciousness, and without any injuries!
Fang Qingyun arched her eyebrows slightly.
As Su Mo woke up, all of the Level 7 True Spirit Realm talents also began to awaken, but they were paled and weakened.
"AH! AH! AH! AH!"
"PFFT! PFFT! PFFT!"
At that moment, screams could be heard outside Skygale Valley. Some of the weaker talents were pale faced and puking blood.
Besides the Level 7 talents, the rest were extremely injured.
Everyone was frightened and shocked as they looked at Fang Qingyun
This lady was terrifying!
Su Mo was stunned. Her methods were truly impressive!
Fang Qingyun put down her flute, glanced around, and smiled faintly, "All of you have one breath's time left or no one will be leaving!"
"If you don't go soon, we will kill indiscriminately!" Both Jiang Xian and Li Hai shouted at the same time. Their strong auras exploded with horrifying intensity, shrouding the surroundings.
Many talents below Level 5 were shaking with fear under their power.
Everyone looked terrified by their increasingly fearsome threats.
SWOOSH! SWOOSH! SWOOSH!
Some weaker talents decided not to persist anymore and flew away quickly.
"Let's go too!" Zhu Shaojing said in a frightened tone to Han Yijian and the rest.
Zhu Shaojing had been hurt by Hu Yuanlong's roar, and now he was injured again by Fang Qingyun's Illusional Melody. His injuries were accumulating.
He was terrified by their strength and was unwilling to stay here for another second.
"Let's go!" Han Yijian and the others were not willing to leave, but they still decided it was best. They knew that not only were they unable to get the treasures, they might even die here.
Han Yijian, Zhu Shaojing, Wu Sheng and those from Hong Domain quickly left.
However, Su Mo did not leave and remained standing in place. He would not give up so easily.
In the blink of an eye, less than 50 of the 700 people remained. Those remaining talents were of higher power and they were basically experts at Level 6 or 7.
Some of them were top 10 on the List of Top 100 Talents in the powerful domains. These 50 people were all livid. Facing Fang Qingyun and the rest, they were outmatched.
But, they were certainly unwilling to relinquish the 10,000-Year Stalactite.
"Time's up. Since you all don't want to leave, you shall die!" Hu Yuanlong sneered, pulling out a long saber. He waved the saber, the saber Qi suppressed the whole surrounding area.
"Attack!" Li Hai and the rest attacked at the same time.
Li Hai shot out a huge, sky-covering palm over a hundred meters wide, toward everyone.
Jiang Xian pulled both fists and the fist shadows attacked everyone.
Fang Qingyun took out her flute once again and started playing.
"Charge!" Everybody, including Su Mo, growled and attacked the four of them.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
"AH! AH! AH! AH!" The sound of explosions and screams rang loudly as dozens of people were overpowered by the four's attacks.
Just one round of attacks had killed more than 10 people.
Su Mo was at the back and had avoided the attacks.
These dozens of experts could have held their ground by working together against the four of them.
But, with Fang Qingyun's flute, even if they had been prepared, many were still instantly pulled into the illusion. They were killed before they could reawaken.
Those that remained were frightened by the fact that they stood no chance against the four of them, despite them being outnumbered.
"Let's go!" Everyone was horrified and no longer persisted. They quickly retreated.
Su Mo's eyes flashed. He waved his arm and quickly collected the dozen corpses into his storage ring, before hurrying to leave with the rest.
The four of them were too powerful and he would die if he stayed. He needed to retreat when it was necessary.
These corpses were his chance.
In the blink of an eye, there was no one left, but Fang Qingyun, Yuwen Jun, and the other three.
"Hehe! How dare a group of small fries fight against us for the treasure. You've overestimated yourself!" Hu Yuanlong sneered.
"That fellow didn't even forget the other's belongings while escaping!" Fang Qingyun said, looking at Su Mo's silhouette while her seductive red lips frowned.
Su Mo had been the first to awaken from her dreamland, so she had paid more attention to him. She was speechless when he took away the corpses before leaving.
SWISH! SWISH!
Out of the dozens of people who left, only a few of them truly did. Most of them did not get far and stopped after a hundred miles or so.
All of them were livid and looked angrily toward the faraway Skygale Valley.
They still had a chance. Once the four entered Skygale Valley, they would try again.
The wind inside Skygale Valley would supress the martial artists' strength. Once they entered Skygale Valley, they would still have the chance to compete for the 10,000-year Stalactite.
Su Mo did not stop and quickly continued to retreat.
After some time, Su Mo arrived at a hidden cave hundreds of miles away. He killed the Class 5 Lv 3 Demonic Beast inside and took refuge there.
Shortly after, Su Mo began to devour the beast.
