Chapter 61: The Meeting of Geniuses

According to Luo Qianfan, the underground demon cave was in the center of the island.

The two men hurried the entire way and arrived in a giant valley after about four hours.

“Oh no, the news has already leaked,” said Luo Qianfan with a darkened expression.

50 to 60 people congregated in front of a stone cliff in the valley.

“What’s happening? Do the others also know?”

Su Mo frowned and asked, looking at the crowd.

“Hm, this underground demon cave was discovered by two new disciples, but they were too scared to enter. Later on, I passed by and entered with them. Finally, we escaped from the cave together.”

Luo Qianfan nodded and said in resignation, “It seems that the two disciples leaked the news.”

“Let’s go take a look,” Su Mo said and walked over with Luo Qianfan.

There was a two-meter-wide cave in the middle of the valley against a stone cliff. All the thistles and thorns growing around its entrance had been cleared away, revealing the mysterious cave.

A crowd of youths surrounded the entrance and camped out in four groups.

“Who are you?”

One of the youths yelled when they saw Su Mo and his companion.

When everyone saw Su Mo and his partner’s faces, they were all surprised with glints in their eyes.

Most of them probably did not know Su Mo, but they recognized Luo Qianfan, one of the five great geniuses.

“Get out of my way!” Luo Qianfan said coldly, glancing at the crowd.

The youths looked at each other. A stocky youth stepped forward reluctantly and said, “Senior Brother Luo, this place has already been claimed by the other four great geniuses. I suggest you go elsewhere!”

“Claimed by the four great geniuses?” asked Luo Qianfan with a darkened expression.

Su Mo was also very surprised. He had not expected that the four great geniuses besides Luo Qianfan had all arrived.

With all the five great geniuses here, there was bound to be a series of battles!

“Yes. Senior Brother Wu Kui, Yan Qi, Cao Yuan, and Senior Sister Feng Zilan are all inside. They’ve ordered us to prevent anyone from entering, so please leave,” said the youth respectfully.

He nervously watched Luo Qianfan’s expression.

Luo Qianfan was one of the five great geniuses and a prominent figure in the Spiritual Martial Realm, so the youth was too afraid to force him to leave.

He had already sworn his loyalty to Wu Kui. Since Wu Kui had given him orders, he had no choice but to block Luo Qianfan.

“Get out of my way!” Shouted Luo Qianfan bluntly, glaring at the crowd with steely eyes.

Everyone felt a strong force sweeping towards them, making them quicken their breathing.

None of these people had high cultivation because their stronger companions had all entered the cave with the four great geniuses. Everyone left behind was only at Lv 7 or Lv 8 Qi Cultivation Realm.

After a moment, they all gritted their teeth and scattered to make way for Luo Qianfan, afraid to confront him.

If this prominent figure of the Spiritual Martial Realm was enraged, none of them would withstand his wrath.

Luo Qianfan rushed impatiently into the cave with no regard for Su Mo.

With the four great geniuses inside, he needed to enter as soon as possible, or he would get nothing at all. He knew exactly how many Spiritual Herbs were inside.

After Luo Qianfan entered the cave, Su Mo also tried to enter, too.

“Stop right there!”

The stocky youth blocked Su Mo with his body and said coldly, “This place has been closed off. Who allows you to enter?”

Su Mo raised his brow and pointed at Luo Qianfan, who was deep inside the cave, and said, “Didn’t you let him in?”

“Ha ha! He’s one of the five great geniuses, an expert of the Spiritual Martial Realm. Who do you think you’re in comparison to him? Get out!” Scoffed the stocky youth mockingly.

The stocky youth saw that Luo Qianfan had entered the cave without any regard for Su Mo, so he thought that the two were not close.

“So this is due to ability.” Thought Su Mo.

“I’m giving you three breaths to disappear from my sight, or I’ll kill you,” Su Mo indifferently said with a cold expression.

“What?”

The stocky youth was stunned and said mockingly, “You must really think you’re an expert of the Spiritual Martial Realm! I want to see how you can kill anyone with so many of us here!”

The stocky youth was not worried at all. There were over 20 men who were at the Peak Lv 8 Qi Cultivation Realm, so even a martial artist at the Peak Lv 9 Qi Cultivation Realm was not a match for them.

“Die!”

Su Mo’s eyes flashed with killing desire, and he swung his fist.

Boom!

The stocky youth was struck forcefully by Su Mo’s fist, and his body exploded into multiple pieces.

The crowd was shocked and speechless. No one had expected Su Mo to be so violent, smashing a martial artist at the Peak of Lv 8 Qi Cultivation Realm into pieces due to a single disagreement.

After killing the youth, Su Mo strolled into the cave.

He intentionally killed a man with a single blow to scare the others, so that he would not have to face them all. No matter how fearless he was, he still could not kill dozens of men at once!

Su Mo entered the cave and found it slope downwards and gradually widen.

After walking for about 15 minutes and one kilometer, he finally arrived in a large underground space.

This space was so immense that he could not see the edges, and it was countless times larger than the underground world Su Mo had found in Breezewind Mountain.

This underground world was dark, and the cold air had a rotting scent to it.

Su Mo looked around and had not found anyone, not even Luo Qianfan.

Luo Qianfan originally wanted to ally with Su Mo, but when he found out that the four great geniuses were in the cave already, he did not need Su Mo anymore and decided to act on his own.

Su Mo had no choice but to venture forward carefully on his own.

This space was deep and dark, and although a couple pieces of jade on the ground gave off a faint light, they did not provide much visibility.

After walking for a while, Su Mo saw a dozen insect carcasses on the ground.

They were large black insects the size of a human head covered in hard shells. They had long mouths and menacing fangs as sharp as knives.

There were also the corpses of three martial artists, obviously new disciples of Gale Island.

They must have fallen under the giant insects’ attack.

Su Mo felt the residual heat on these people’s bodies, which meant that they had just died. He released his Martial Soul and began to devour.

The three people’s Martial Souls and the black insects’ Beast Souls had already disappeared, leaving only some blood behind, which Su Mo devoured entirely.

Due to the time of their death, most of the energy in their blood essence was gone.

All three men were at Lv 9 Qi Cultivation Realm, and those giant insects were demonic beasts at Class 9 Lv 1. Even if their energy was mostly gone, the devouring still made Su Mo’s cultivation increase greatly to the late stage of Lv 9 Qi Cultivation Realm.

“Ha ha, these corpses are treasures to me!”

Su Mo smiled and continued venturing into the deep.
