Su Mo suspected that if they kept calculating, it would be enough to fry their brains.
Fairy Jinghong glared fiercely at Su Mo.
’So you *do* know you’re making things difficult for them.’
Li Nan said, "Then just announce it as one hundred thirty-eight million, six hundred fifty thousand Points."
This time, he chose to let the Middle-aged Steward make the announcement.
The score was just too high.
He really couldn’t bring himself to say it.
The Middle-aged Steward announced loudly, "Su Mo obtained Spiritual Medicines... Forget it, I’ll just announce the total Points. The grand total is one hundred thirty-eight million, six hundred fifty thousand. The remainder wasn’t even counted."
"What? One hundred million...?"
Upon hearing Su Mo’s score, everyone felt like their heads were about to explode, their minds buzzing uncontrollably.
’What the fuck, this has to be fake.’
’How could anyone possibly get so many Points?’
"It’s fake! It’s fake!"
"Elder Li, did you calculate it correctly? You’re not showing favoritism to this kid, are you?"
"Favoritism? This is unfair."
The faces of everyone present were filled with doubt.
Elder Li said coldly, "You’re just not as skilled as him, yet you blame him for getting more Points. Have you no shame?"
In an instant, everyone fell silent.
In truth, they knew in their hearts that Li Nan wouldn’t show favoritism to anyone.
But they just couldn’t bring themselves to believe it.
Fairy Jinghong mocked, "Stop your shameless boasting. You should all reflect on yourselves instead. Let me be honest, the Points he didn’t even bother counting are worth more than what all of you have put together."
Everyone looked incredibly awkward.
They knew that Su Mo still had many items that hadn’t been counted for Points.
Those items were worth more than all of their Points combined.
They weren’t even in the same league.
Su Mo said, "Since the counting is done, I’ll be taking my Treasures now."
SWISH!
With a wave of his hand, Su Mo made all the Treasures vanish, leaving behind only a pile of scrap metal.
This was all junk that Su Mo had discarded.
"Hey, look! In that pile of junk, there seems to be a Broken Sword. Doesn’t it look like the Celestial Star Sword that Ye Langtian used to have?"
"It really is!"
"Ye Langtian, did you lose your Celestial Star Sword?"
Everyone turned to look at Ye Langtian, waiting for his answer.
"Huh, that really is my Celestial Star Sword."
Ye Langtian was dumbfounded.
’After my Celestial Star Sword broke, wasn’t it taken by the Demon Beasts? How did it end up here?’
"Look, that looks like a fragment of the Hua Celestial Sect’s Demon Bell."
"And Bai Luoxue’s clothes! She was wearing that exact outfit a few days ago, I saw it with my own eyes."
"Holy shit, why is there women’s underwear in there?"
Looking at the junk Su Mo had thrown away, everyone’s expression changed.
Especially Bai Luoxue’s.
Her clothes had been torn by a Demon Beast, and she had wanted to change into a new set to leave the Holy Spirit Secret Realm with some dignity.
However, her Storage Ring had been stolen by Demon Beasts.
She had nothing to change into!
She never imagined that her missing clothes would suddenly appear in the plaza, only to be discarded as junk by Su Mo.
Among them were several pieces of her personal lingerie.
The members of the Hua Celestial Sect were furious too.
Their Demon Bell was a Tier Four Spiritual Soldier! Even as fragments, it was a fine Treasure that could be melted down and reforged. How could it be treated as junk?
’Crap, I forgot to put this stuff away.’
Su Mo immediately realized things were about to get ugly.
Sure enough, countless pairs of bloodshot eyes turned to stare at him all at once.
"Su Mo, how do you explain this?"
"Give us a convincing reason, or we’ll beat you to death."
"Yeah, start talking!"
The crowd seethed with righteous indignation.
Su Mo said lazily, "I just picked all this stuff up. What’s there to explain? If you don’t believe me, go ask those Demon Beasts."
"Bullshit!"
"You might be able to ’pick up’ things from one or two people, but from everyone?"
"You’re colluding with the Demon Race!"
Ren Fan seized the opportunity to kick him while he was down. "Elder Li, you saw it, didn’t you? This kid is colluding with the Demon Race to rob us! I implore you to execute him on the spot!"
Li Nan’s brow furrowed.
A moment ago, they were all stunned by the sheer quantity of Su Mo’s Treasures, but they hadn’t stopped to think about where they all came from.
It would be impossible to mine that much ore in three days, even with a workforce of over ten thousand people.
’Could it be? Did Su Mo really collude with the Demon Race?’
That was a capital offense.
Li Nan asked in a cold voice, "How do you explain yourself?"
Su Mo’s head was starting to ache.
’How am I supposed to explain this?’
Left with no choice, Su Mo could only say, "Fine. I was the one who sent those Demon Beasts to rob you. Is that good enough?"
’Can’t keep up the act anymore? I’m done playing. I’m laying my cards on the table.’
Ren Fan said excitedly, "Elder Linan, you heard him, right? The kid admitted it himself! He colluded with the Demon Race to persecute us!"
"Kill him!"
"First, skin him, roast him, and feed him to the dogs."
"Pickle him raw and feed him to the Demon Beasts."
The entire crowd was in a frenzy, screaming for Su Mo’s death.
Su Mo said disdainfully, "Heh, do you even have the strength to back that up?"
Originally, he had planned to interact with these people as an ordinary person, but they just had to force his hand.
In that case, they couldn’t blame him for the ruthless beatdown that was coming.
Li Nan said in a cold voice, "So you truly did collude with the Demon Race. In that case, I cannot forgive you."
BOOM!
Just as Li Nan was about to strike Su Mo down, a terrifying aura suddenly erupted over the Holy Spirit Manor.
In an instant, everyone was scared stiff.
"A Demon King! A Tier Five Demon King!"
"Heavens!"
"Is it going to eat us?"
Everyone looked up at the sky to see a gigantic Cyan Cloud Sparrow hovering above their heads, blotting out the sun.
Li Nan stammered, "Quick, go and report to the Manor Master!"
"There’s no need to report!"
An ancient voice echoed from within the Holy Spirit Manor.
Immediately after, the Saint Spirit Manor Master appeared.
The Saint Spirit Manor Master’s eyes narrowed as he looked up at the Cyan Cloud Sparrow. "Friend, when has our Holy Spirit Manor ever offended you?"
A Tier Five Demon King was comparable to a Martial King Powerhouse.
Not even the Saint Spirit Manor Master dared to underestimate it.
The Cyan Cloud Sparrow roared angrily, "Fuck your ancestors! You’re about to kill my master, and you say you haven’t offended me?"
It had been hiding off to the side, watching the show.
Who would have thought that this trash would be screaming to kill Su Mo? It flew out in a rage to stand up for him.
"Your master?"
The Saint Spirit Manor Master shook his head. "You must be mistaken. Our Holy Spirit Manor and your Cyan Cloud Sparrow clan have always kept to ourselves. We have no grievances, and we certainly have not tried to kill your master."
"Still dare to deny it!"
The Cyan Cloud Sparrow pointed at Li Nan and said viciously, "It was this old bastard! He wanted to kill my master! Don’t stop me, I’m going to kill him right now!"
"I didn’t!"
Li Nan trembled uncontrollably.
The Saint Spirit Manor Master frowned. "Who exactly is your master?"
"My master is..."
Just as the Cyan Cloud Sparrow was about to reveal Su Mo’s identity, an even more terrifying aura erupted, blanketing the entire plaza.
The Cyan Cloud Sparrow cried out in alarm, "Holy shit, why is the Old Loach here?"
"Old Loach?"
The crowd was completely baffled.
Just as they were about to ask for clarification, a black shadow suddenly appeared in the sky.
The newcomer was none other than the Ink Flood Dragon.
Someone in the crowd shouted, "Holy shit, how did another Tier Five Demon King show up?"
