Chapter 1084: Extraordinary Treasure?

Let's put aside the reactions of all the forces in the world toward the alliance between Firmament Palace, Emperor Xuan Palace, and Sky-sea Pavilion for now.

Meanwhile, Su Mo and Xi'er chatted freely and happily while they were travelling.

Su Mo did not have to bother too much about the alliance, since he had already discussed the details with Di Shi. Di Shi would send someone to notify Sky-sea Pavilion of the details as well.

Therefore, he simple had to wait for the wedding ceremony.

"Brother Su Mo, do you remember what you'd written back then?" Xi'er glanced at Emperor Spiritual City's tall walls and asked with a smile as they flew past the city.

"Of course!" Su Mo also glanced at the city wall, where he had written the declaration of challenge to Shangguan Hao, setting the date of the duel.

"Brother Su Mo, how confident were you?" Xi'er asked curiously.

"I wasn't sure! I didn't know Shangguan Hao's strength back then!" Su Mo shook his head and said.

"It was such a close call!" Xi'er was still frightened by the memories of that battle.

The couple flew over Emperor Spiritual City and headed toward Firmament Palace as they spoke.

There were several black-robed figures at the top floor of an inn in Emperor Spiritual City.

They stood at the window and stared at Su Mo and Xi'er intently.

"Su Mo has left Emperor Xuan Palace!"

"The First elder was right! Su Mo came to Emperor Xuan Palace!"

"Inform the First elder now. We've to kill him before he returns to Firmament Palace!"

"The Seven Founding Elders would participate in this assault. Su Mo can't get away anymore!"

The deep voices were bursting with an intense killing desire.

That was right! Netherworld Devil Sect had already sent their people into Emperor Spiritual City to monitor Su Mo's whereabouts.

They even infiltrated Heaven-sea City, where Sky-sea Pavilion's headquarter resided.

Although Duo Demonic Elders, the First Elder Yan Tai, and the four hall masters had failed to kill Su Mo the last time, they would not give up so easily.

Netherworld Devil Sect predicted that Su Mo would visit these two superpowers, so they had been waiting for him.

Netherworld Devil Sect did not react even though Su Mo had destroyed many of their branches. They had been patiently waiting.

The few black-robed men soon left the inn in a hurry.

...

Su Mo and Xi'er did not fly quickly. Since they were about to get married, they planned to have fun during the trip.

The couple enjoyed themselves to their hearts' content while travelling at a casual speed.

They were having a blast during the trip, and a beautiful smile was on Xi'er pretty face almost all the time.

"Brother Su Mo, look at that lake. It's called Teardrop Lake because there was a beautiful but sad love story to it!" Said Xi'er as she pointed toward a lake which had a radius of roughly 5,000 kilometers.

"Oh? What's the love story about?" Su Mo asked curiously.

"Legend has it that this lake was only 500 kilometers wide several thousand years ago. However, it produced a Demon Empress called Hua Shan'er. She was a Flowery Coral Fish who was devastatingly beautiful!"

"She fell in love with a human man, but this man didn't have a Martial Soul so he couldn't become a martial artist. Therefore, he couldn't stay by her side forever!"

"That man died after 100 years, and Hua Shan'er hugged his body and cried for seven days on the lake, before she committed suicide!"

"However, her tears increased the water level of Teardrop Lake by so much that its radius grew by almost 10 times and became a huge lake!"

Xi'er sounded depressed as she told Su Mo the story. This kind of beautiful but sad love stories seemed to impact her feelings greatly.

Su Mo glanced at Xi'er and smiled inwardly.

Whether it was the world of martial arts or the world that was technologically advanced like in his previous life, young girls like Xi'er were extremely fond of romantic love stories!

Afterward, Xi'er's mood seemed to be affected by the love story, and she did not smile anymore. Su Mo found it funny, but he could not do a thing to improve her mood.

Then, they sped up their pace since there was less talking.

After two days, the couple reached the foothills of a mountain range.

While they were flying, they suddenly discovered a massive beam of light that soared into the air thousands of kilometers ahead.

The beam of light disappeared after only a single breath.

"What's that?" Su Mo was puzzled.

"It seems like a strange phenomenon incurred by extraordinary treasures!" Xi'er replied.

"Extraordinary treasures?"

Su Mo raised his brows and continued, "Let's go! We'd go and take a look!"

Su Mo grabbed Xi'er's hand and flew forward at a faster speed.

After a short while, he spotted a small town which spanned across a dozen miles, where the beam of light had appeared.

However, Su Mo was bewildered that the town was dead silent and there was no one around.

"What's going on?" Although Su Mo was puzzled, he was not the slightest bit worried because he was confident in his strength and descended in the town with Xi'er.

Su Mo did not want to waste his time here, but the beam of light exuded an extremely powerful force, indicating that the treasure was extraordinary.

Hence, his curiosity was piqued and he wanted to find out what the treasure was.

"Brother Su Mo, this town is a little strange. There's a faint smell of blood!" Xi'er frowned and said worriedly.

"Yup! Let's be careful!" Su Mo nodded and scanned the entire town with his spiritual consciousness.

Then, he grabbed Xi'er's hand and walked toward a mansion.

Su Mo detected a hint of Spiritual Qi in that mansion with his spiritual consciousness, so it must be where the treasure was.

However, that mansion was definitely unusual because it could prevent his spiritual consciousness from entering.

After a short while, Su Mo arrived at the mansion's gate.

This mansion was as big as the Sus' mansion in Sunnywood City back then. It was small and its gate was closed. They did not know what was inside!

"Brother Su Mo, this place is weird!" Xi'er said softly.

"It's weird indeed!" Su Mo looked grim because he had obviously realised the abnormality of this place.

This huge town did not contain a single soul, yet it produced an Extraordinary Treasure.

Furthermore, the mansion that contained the Extraordinary Treasure could somehow prevent his spiritual consciousness from peeking in.

Swish!

Su Mo flew into the air and scanned the mansion from above.

However, the space in the mansion seemed to be distorted. He could not see anything except for a blurry light.

Even the Ghostly Magic Sight Martial Soul did not work.

"That's weird!" Su Mo frowned and descended beside Xi'er.

"Brother Su Mo, I feel that this place is dangerous. We should leave!" Xi'er was full of worry. After all, no treasure mattered more to her than Su Mo's safety.
