“Su Mo is innocent. I will take him away!”

As this voice rose, a breeze immediately blew in the hall.

And at the next moment, a white-faced middle-age man with two beards abruptly appeared.

“My respect to the Highest Elder!”

All elders and Duan Jingtian stood up and bowed to the man respectively.

“Ehem!” The middle-aged man slightly nodded, then looked at Su Mo, and said, “Come with me!”

Saying no more, he turned directly away.

Su Mo was shocked. This man was really the Hignest Elder?

The Highest Elder had been known to have a status which was equal to the island owner, and way beyond the First Elder of the elder group.

Su Mo was puzzled as to why the Highest Elder would help him since they had no prior relationship.

However, he would not think too much about this now. All he wanted was to get away from this.

He turned around and followed the Highest Elder to walk out of the hall.

“Wait a minute!” Suddenly, Duan Jingtian yelled. “Highest Elder, you can’t bring Su Mo away, for he has committed a torrential crime!”

Hearing this, the Highest Elder stopped and turned around to look at Duan Jingtian.

“Whether he is guilty or not is decided by me!”

With just a few simple words from the Highest elder, he showed that he was dominant when it came to whether or not Su Mo was guilty.

Su Mo was stunned. How overbearing the Highest Elder was!

On the one side, the party of Duan Jingtian went silent. On the other side, the Second Elder and other elders who belonged to the Highest Elder’s party smiled gently.

Duan Jingtian was angry and said coldly, “Highest Elder, though you have a high status, you shouldn’t flout the rules of the Sect!”

Duan Jingtian knew that he could not stop the Highest Elder, but he was still unwilling to let go of Su Mo. How could he forgive Su Mo who had killed so many of his peers?

Hearing Duan Jingtian’s words, the Highest Elder slightly squinted and shouted out loud. “What did you say… How dare you!”

The Highest Elder’s words formed a strong soundwave which dashed forward.

With piercing sound, the speed of the soundwave was so fast that space was distorted.

The waves swept across and shocked Duan Jingtian, following which his mouth and ears began to shed blood.

Only some words could wound Duan Jingtian.

“A soundwave attack?”

Su Mo was surprised. No wonder he was the Highest Elder, whose cultivation was comparable to the island owner’s.

“You, still don’t have the qualification to question me. Tell Yun Tu to find me!” The Highest Elder left, after saying these simple words.

Yun Tu was the name of the island owner.

Then Su Mo hurried to follow the Highest Elder and leave the hall.

Everyone gave way to them, watching as the Highest Elder went away.

Duan Jingtian clenched his fists firmly. Although he was full of fury, he kept calm.

He knew that the Highest Elder was a barrier to his gaining complete control of Gale Island.

Even if he became the Gale Island owner, if the Highest Elder wasn’t removed, then he would fail to achieve complete control.

“The Enlightenment Realm?” With a cold light flashing in his eyes, Duan Jingtian murmured and left at once.

In this fight, the party of the island owner felt bad. On the contrary, the party of the Highest Elder smiled.

Then, all elders spoke no more and left as they thought to themselves.

Saying nothing, Su Mo followed the Highest Elder, and they soon made it to the back mountain.

Being the forbidden area, the back mountain was sparsely populated and in great silence.

The Highest Elder took Su Mo into an immortal’s cave, which was located on the hillside. It was as large as a spacious courtyard.

The cliff of the immortal’s cave was studded with extremely beautiful blue diamonds.

Upon stepping into the cave, Su Mo felt the intense Spiritual Qi and became rejuvenated immediately.

“What an intense Spiritual Qi!”

The Spiritual Qi in this immortal’s cave was ten times denser than that outside.

At that time, an elder was sitting beside the stone table.

It was Su Mo’s Master, Elder Wei!

“Master!”

Su Mo immediately understood that it was Elder Wei who had asked the Highest Elder to help him.

When Elder Wei saw them, he stood up hurriedly. Slightly nodding to Su Mo, he bowed to the Highest Elder and said, “Thank you for your help!”

“Don’t mention it, and remember your promise!” the Highest Elder waved his hand and said.

“Highest Elder, please rest assured, you have my word!” Elder Wei nodded and answered.

“Ehem!” The Highest Elder nodded.

Su Mo sighed and wondered. Elder Wei must have paid a price for his rescue.

He suddenly felt that he owed Elder Wei much. Maybe Elder Wei did not teach him a lot, but he had saved him many times.

At this time, the Highest Elder turned to Su Mo and smiled. “Su Mo, you have greater talent than Duan Jingtian. If you made more efforts, it would be easy for you to surpass Duan Jingtian!”

Su Mo nodded and cupped his hands. “Thank you for saving my life. Highest Elder, I will not let you down!”

The Highest Elder nodded and thought for a while before he asked, “Su Mo, do you want to become the island owner in the future?”

“The island owner?”

Su Mo startled and then said, “You must be joking. Duan Jingtian is the heir to the position as island owner!”

“He’s only the heir. Any outstanding talent could become the island owner!” The Highest Elder shook his head and said, “If you could surpass him, I could help you take the position before Duan Jingtian succeeds as the island owner!”

The Highest Elder was very satisfied with Mo’s talent and had trained several core disciples of the True Spirit Realm to confront the Gale Island owner. However, none of them was a match for Duan Jingtian, which put him at a disadvantage.

However, now Su Mo gave him that chance.

That’s why he saved Su Mo. Otherwise, even if Elder Wei asked him to help, he would not bail Su Mo out of trouble.

Hearing this, Su Mo became silent. Though he had no interest in becoming the island owner, Duan Jingtian was the one that he must surpass. And this moment would come soon.

After a short while, Su Mo smiled. “Highest Elder, Duan Jingtian still needs a few more years to cultivate before he can inherit the title of island owner! I’m sure he won’t have the chance!” Su Mo said these words with a steadfast and confident expression.

“Haha! Alright. I am looking forward to your achievements!” The Highest Elder broke into laughter when he felt Su Mo’s confidence.

“Highest Elder, since the matter had been settled, we shouldn’t disturb your self-cultivation!” At this time, Elder Wei bowed to the Highest Elder and prepared to leave.

“Ok, come back some time!” The Highest Elder waved at them.

Then, Su Mo and Elder Wei left immortal’s cave together.
