In the tower .

Su Mo and Nie Qian, Han Ying sat across each other .

“Brother Su, we’re sorry! We’ve got you into trouble!” Nie Qian was solemn and he apologized to Su Mo .

It was he and Han Ying who had revealed the circumstances leading to Liao Yunjian’s death .

They were not trying to get Su Mo into trouble . However, they must reveal something under Taishi Xuan and You Tianhan’s coercion .

Of course, it would be pointless for them to deny . Taishi Xuan was certain that Su Mo had killed Liao Yunjian .

However, they did not say that Su Mo killed him alone . They claimed that the three of them had joined hands and slain him .

They had merely wanted to share the responsibility with Su Mo . They did not expect Taishi Xuan and You Tianhan to coerce him because of this .

“Su Mo, we didn’t know that Taishi Xuan could coerce you with this!” Han Ying said with a worried look .

“You don’t need to blame yourselves . There will be a way out for us . No need for worries!” Su Mo shook his head .

“Brother Su, what are your plans?” Nie Qian and Han Ying queried him together . Their fates were in Su Mo’s hands . Of course they wanted to know what he would do next!

Su Mo heard them and started to ponder . He did not know what he would do next . It was absolutely impossible, however, for him to submit to Taishi Xuan .

“Brother Nie, Miss Han, don’t worry! I won’t let anything happen to you!”

Su Mo said this solemnly . If things got out of hand, he would join another faction together with Nie Qian and Han Ying . That way, Taishi Xuan would not find it easy to deal with them .

The two nodded but deep worry still showed on their faces .

They were also worried that Su Mo’s forceful reactions to Taishi Xuan and You Tianhan would get them into trouble with the Academy . They might be severely punished and even lose their lives .

However, they believed that Su Mo would make the right decision . He would not play with their lives .

“By the way, who was that You Tianhan we saw just now?” Su Mo suddenly remembered the young man in navy-blue long robe .

“You Tianhan belongs to the Taishi Family . He is the foremost expert among Southern Yard disciples!” Nie Qian explained .

“The foremost expert? Is he so powerful?” Su Mo felt stunned . Although he could sense the man’s powerful cultivation, he had not expected it to be this high .

“Well, he has already reached the Peak Lv 9 Martial Emperor Realm . Very few people within the entire Southern Yard could fight him . ” Nie Qian nodded .

Su Mo became silent . So You Tianhan was such a powerful character!

It looked like the Taishi Family was especially keen on him .

You Tianhan had said that the Taishi Famiy’s Holy Son valued him immensely .

“Brother Nie, Miss Han, please go back first! I need to consider things carefully!” After some time, Su Mo waved his hand at them .

“Alright!” They nodded and did not say much . They simply said their goodbyes and left .

Sigh!

After Nie Qian and Han Ying left, Su Mo became lost in thoughts . Submit to Taishi Xuan?

Absolutely impossible!

He would not yield to anyone!

He could only join another faction . Another way was to visit Huoyuan Peak in the inner mansion and seek the help of Grand Master Huoyuan .

Su Mo gave the matter careful thought . It would be perhaps better to be under Grand Master Huoyuan’s protection at Huoyuan Peak .

That way, he would not be drawn into the contentions of these factions .

However, he had rejected Grand Master Huoyuan before . He was now a little embarrassed to see him .

To see him now would clearly be seeking asylum under him . The intention would be too obvious .

This put Su Mo in quite a fix .

“Sir Ghost Sage!”

Su Mo could not make up his mind and wanted to ask the Flaming Devil Ghost Sage for his advice .

He called out to him but realized that the Ghost Sage had not responded .

“Hmmm?”

Su Mo was somewhat baffled . With his mind, he located the Flaming Devil Ghost Sage in his Fighting Soul and telepathized a thought over . “What happened, Sir Ghost Sage?”

The Demonic Soul of the Flaming Devil Ghost Sage was still in his Fighting Soul . There had been no problem .

The Flaming Devil Ghost Sage finally responded . He asked in a faint voice, “Su Mo, have you ever wondered why you did not suffer the Heavenly Punishment after breaking into the Martial Emperor Realm?”

Su Mo started upon hearing this . Of course, he had wondered . After breaking into the Martial Emperor Realm, he did not sense the Heavenly Punishment coming . However, neither did he bother much about it .

For him, it was one less trouble without the Heavenly Punishment .

Yet now, the Flaming Devil Ghost Sage had asked him this . Was there a reason?

“Why?” Su Mo asked in a deep voice .

“I’ve pondered this for a long time and have finally discovered the reason!” The Flaming Devil Ghost Sage’s voice was extraordinarily serious .

“What reason?” Su Mo asked curiously .

“Your life is not subject to the rules of heaven!” The Flaming Devil Ghost Sage said .

“Not subject to the rules of heaven?”

Su Mo was filled with bewilderment . Completely baffled, he asked, “What do you mean?”

“I mean, you are not a being subject to the rules of heaven!” The Flaming Devil Ghost Sage’s voice was deep and low, quavering a little .

Even he himself had found this quite hard to believe . In fact, it was incredible!

However, he could find no other explanation .

No other explanation could explain why the Heavenly Punishment had not come .

Whenever a martial artist reached the Martial Emperor Realm, he would experience the Heavenly Punishment–a Fighting Soul Ordeal . This was one of the most terrible ordeals a martial artist must endure .

Not matter what living creature or race the martial artist had belonged to, it would experience the Heavenly Punishment after breaking into a new realm .

Even Giant Beings, who had not cultivated the Dark Force or Fighting Soul and who only cultivated physical strength, would experience the Heavenly Punishment after reaching the Martial Emperor Realm .

Yet Su Mo had not . How puzzling!

“This… this cannot be true!” Su Mo looked utterly bewildered . Every creature and being was subject to the rules of heaven . How could he be an exception?

Too absurd, wasn’t it?

According to the Ghost Sage, he would be a transcendent being out of the three realms and five elements!

He would be a mythic presence, like the ancient gods and deities of Earth!

It was clearly impossible, He had suffered the Heavenly Punishment before . The Martial King Realm Punishment was quite strong!

“It is the only possibility!” The Flaming Devil Ghost Sage said, utterly convinced .

“Then why had I experienced the Punishment before?” Su Mo asked in a deep, calm voice . He did not believe the Ghost Sage at all .

“Had you?” The Flaming Devil Ghost Sage was stunned . If Su Mo was telling the truth, his guess would have to be wrong .

“And my Martial King Realm Punishment was quite terrible!” Su Mo nodded .

Hearing Su Mo’s rebuttal, the Flaming Devil Ghost Sage lapsed into silence . Was his guess wrong?

However, how could a creature born in this universe not suffer the Punishment after he had reached the Martial Emperor Realm?

“Were you born in a Small Plane World?” After a long time, the Flaming Devil Ghost Sage seemed to remember something and suddenly asked .

“Yes!” Su Mo nodded . The Firmament World was a Small Plane World!

“I get it! I get it!” The Flaming Devil Ghost Sage said to himself . His voice reverberated in Su Mo’s mind .

“What did you realize?” Su Mo asked, puzzled .

However, the Flaming Devil Ghost Sage did not answer . He had lapsed into complete silence and said no more .

Su Mo was speechless . What was this old demon gabbing on about? What had he realized?
