Chapter 2708 Make Into A Puppet

“Great!” Reverend Jin Wu nodded, feeling relieved. Su Mo had asked him to distribute the tokens, which obviously meant he valued him as a teacher.

Next, Reverend Jin Wu took the tokens and began discussing with Priest Tian Hua the details of their allocation.

Distributing them did not take much time. Very soon, twelve tokens were given to the best and strongest disciples within the Palmy Branch.

“Thank you, Elder Jin Wu! Thank you, Elder Tian Hua!”

“Thank you, Elder Jin Wu! Thank you, Elder Tian Hua!”

The overjoyed disciples who received the tokens expressed their gratitude to Reverend Jin Wu and Priest Tian Hua.

“Hehe, you should be thanking Wu Shan!” Priest Tian Hua beamed. He was very pleased with the results this time, for the Palmy Branch had acquired a wonderful harvest.

A total of seventeen disciples of the Palmy Branch had successfully entered the headquarters. This had never happened before in history.

“Thank you, Brother Wu Shan!”

“Thank you, Junior Wu Shan!”

“Thank you, Senior Wu Shan!”

All the disciples of the Palmy Branch knew that all the credit should go to Su Mo, so they politely bowed to him.

“You’re all too kind. We’re from the same sect, after all!” Su Mo grinned, then after a pause said, “Oh, my real name’s Su Mo. Wu Shan is just a pseudonym I use. Please call me by my name from now on!”

“Thank you, Brother Su!”

“Junior Su, I shall repay your kindness at the next opportunity!”

“You’re a legend, Brother Su. I’m thoroughly impressed!”

The disciples sincerely thanked Su Mo again. They were truly grateful to him. If not for him, they would never have been able to become the headquarters’ disciples. One could say that Su Mo’s actions had changed their fate directly.

“You’re welcome!” Su Mo smiled and waved.

“Alright, hand over the tokens and head to the Suspended Holy Mountain!” Tai Ying Sovereign said, his voice low and thick, not to be questioned.

“Yes!” The disciples responded. Then they flew to Tai Ying Sovereign and handed over their tokens as instructed.

Eventually, nineteen of them had handed over their tokens. Su Mo was the only one left.

“Is there anything else?” Tai Ying Sovereign glanced at Su Mo and asked.

“Tai Ying Sovereign, the Supreme Realm warrior to which my token was originally attached to has not died. He’s been kept restrained in my spatial device. I’d like to ask, can we spare him?” Su Mo said, saluting Tai Ying Sovereign.

“Let’s see him!” said Tai Ying Sovereign.

Su Mo nodded and, with a thought, Fu Qian’s half a shoulder and almost disembodied head appeared for all to see.

He looked awful. Not only was he physically dismembered, his aura was at an all-time low. An ordinary Low-rank Supreme Being could probably have destroyed him.

Many sighed at Fu Qian’s miserable state. He, the Young Master of Death, had once been an influential figure in the Cloud Ridge World, and yet he had ended up like this.

“Fu Qian!” Tai Ying Sovereign furrowed his brows at the sight of him. He would not have cared if anyone else lived or died, but Fu Qian could not stay.

“Tai Ying Sovereign, Fu Qian has great talents. He’s severely deformed now, and he only retains one tenth of his strength. I want to keep him and have him made into a puppet for my use,” said Su Mo.

But he had not intended to make Fu Qian into a puppet. Su Mo had merely used that as an excuse to keep him. He had interacted with Fu Qian for a bit while waiting for the Selection to be over, so he had decided to save his life.

At first, Su Mo had planned to refine Fu Qian and fuse with his Rule. But Fu Qian was remarkable indeed. Su Mo could not do anything to him for now.

Then, Su Mo had managed to convince him.

In order to get past Tai Ying Sovereign, Fu Qian had had to severe his Spiritual Spirit. That was why his aura seemed really weak now.

“Make him into a puppet?” Tai Ying Sovereign repeated the phrase. Indeed, a small number of martial artists enjoyed controlling puppets, but in his opinion it was hardly a respectable activity.

But after examining Fu Qian, Tai Ying Sovereign had found that Fu Qian’s physical body had been damaged beyond repair, and his Spiritual Soul was extremely weak. So, the Sovereign nodded and said, “Have your way with him, just don’t set him free.”

Then, with a wave of his hand. Tai Ying Sovereign fished a token out of Fu Qian’s head.

“Thank you, Tai Ying Sovereign!” Su Mo expressed his gratitude and then returned Fu Qian’s mangled body to the spatial device.

“The thirty of you, follow me to the Suspended Holy Mountain!” Tai Ying Sovereign surveyed the crowd of disciples and said. With another wave of his sleeve, he flew towards the mountain.

Su Mo, Ling Chang, Di Yihun, and Zi Xiao, were among the thirty who hurriedly followed him.

The others watched them go in silence. Some looked pleased while most were consumed with sorrow.

“Su Mo, it’s been a long time. You haven’t changed a bit!” Di Yihun greeted Su Mo calmly. It was rare for them to travel together.

He might have seemed calm, but he was aware of the many centuries that flashed past his mind. He wanted to make a move so badly.

But he resisted. For one, he knew Su Mo’s strength level now, and he was not entirely certain he could succeed. For another, he was wary of the alliance headquarters’ regulations.

All those years in the headquarters had taught him that the headquarters took their regulations tomorrow. Anyone found guilty of killing their fellow sect members would be stripped of their training and expelled from the Suspended Holy Mountain.

11.

Of course, this applied to the disciples of the headquarters, not including those in the branches.

In the Ancient Cloud Star Alliance, those in the headquarters were the real disciples. The apprentices in the other branches were merely outsiders.

“You haven’t changed either!”

Su Mo grinned, but deep down he remained on high alert. He added, “We’ll be staying at the Suspended Holy Mountain together. Advice is appreciated!”

“Of course!” Do Yihun nodded, “The winner is the one who stays till the end. Let’s wait and see!”

“Hehe, we shall!” Su Mo grinned too, but he dared not be careless. Di Yihun was surely a trickier opponent than Zi Xiao.

I was s

Zi Xiao could be hard to kill, but that was only because of his talents. He was not too threatening. Di Yihun, on the other hand, was a lethal opponent.

Ling Chang fell speechless behind Su Mo as she saw them chatting like old friends.

Perhaps those not in the know would have thought the two were best friends. Yet, the two were actually mortal enemies.

On the other side, Zi Xiao peered at Su Mo, smirking

He and Di Yihun had thought of a way to get back at Su Mo. Soon, he would deal Su Mo a fatal blow.

In a moment, Tai Ying Sovereign led the group of thirty and arrived at the Suspended Holy Mountain.
