"Someone named Su?"
The bald middle-aged man’s face darkened.
’I’ve never heard of any powerful expert in the Northern Profound Domain named Su,’ he thought.
’Is he some new, rising star?’
’Whatever!’
No matter who it was, he had to teach them a harsh lesson and get his Demon Pet back.
The bald middle-aged man said viciously, "You, Su! Just you wait. When I find you, I’m going to flay you alive."
With that, the bald middle-aged man grabbed the wailing bald youth and flew away.
The Black Rock Vulture was very fast.
In just half an hour, they arrived at a small town three hundred miles away.
"We’re finally here!"
Xiao Lang said excitedly.
Everyone jumped off the Black Rock Vulture.
Xiao Lang asked, "Young Master, what should we do with this damn baldy? Why don’t we roast and eat it?"
"This damn baldy is featherless, likes to eat carrion, and is so ugly. Its meat definitely won’t taste good."
Xiao Dong had a look of disgust on his face.
Xiao Wan agreed, "My brother’s right. The uglier it is, the worse it tastes."
"..."
The Black Rock Vulture was speechless.
’What does being ugly have to do with how good I taste?’
Su Mo waved his hand. "Let it go."
"Thank you, my lord!"
The Black Rock Vulture was full of relief. Before leaving, it shot a grateful glance at Xiao Dong and Xiao Wan.
If it weren’t for these two kids finding it too ugly, it would have been a goner.
The group walked into the small town.
Xiao Lang asked, "Young Master, where should we go to eat?"
"Just find any place that looks clean,"
Su Mo said.
Ever since Celestial Demon City, his stomach had been rumbling non-stop. He was so hungry his stomach felt like it was touching his spine.
"Young Master, there’s a steamed bun shop here!"
Xiao Dong shouted.
Su Mo was pleasantly surprised. "A steamed bun shop? Great, let’s have steamed buns today."
The group went to the steamed bun shop to buy and eat buns.
The owner of the steamed bun shop was dumbfounded.
With so many people, he couldn’t make buns fast enough.
Xiao Dong took a steamed bun and said, "Young Master, you have one too!"
"Alright!"
As Su Mo was taking a large bite of his steamed bun, a surprised voice suddenly sounded by his ear, "You’re Elder Su? This is great! I get to see you again."
"Who are you?"
Su Mo looked at the young man in confusion.
The young man pointed to himself and said, "It’s me, Chen Ge. Have you forgotten? That day I was acting arrogantly in front of you, and you slammed my whole body into the ground."
"Oh, so it’s you. Scram."
Su Mo’s impression of Chen Ge was not good.
He remembered this guy being exceptionally arrogant.
Chen Ge said awkwardly, "Elder Su, I’ve turned over a new leaf. Please forgive me."
The Holy Spirit Competition had been a huge blow to him.
It had made him re-evaluate the world and understand that no matter how good you are, there is always someone better.
So now, he didn’t dare to be arrogant anymore.
What if one day he ran into someone like Su Mo—who looked young but was freakishly powerful, and had a bad temper on top of that? He’d be dead for sure.
’It’s better to keep a low profile.’
Su Mo said lightly, "It’s good that you’ve changed. Remember, don’t be too high-profile, or you might die without even knowing why."
"Thank you for your guidance, Elder Su. I’ll remember it,"
Chen Ge said with a smile.
Su Mo said impatiently, "If you’ve remembered, then scram!"
Chen Ge’s face fell. "Elder Su, don’t be in such a hurry to chase me away. I may not be arrogant anymore, but there are people who are even more arrogant than I was. I can take you to teach them a lesson."
"Not interested!"
Su Mo refused.
Chen Ge quickly said, "But this concerns the reputation of our Northern Profound Domain! Elder Su, you have to do something."
Su Mo still shook his head.
He didn’t want to get involved in other people’s business.
Others could be as arrogant as they wanted, as long as they didn’t try to bully him.
"Sigh..."
Seeing Su Mo unmoved, Chen Ge sighed helplessly. "So, does this mean our Northern Profound Domain can only let itself be bullied?"
"Another steamed bun!"
Su Mo shouted to the owner.
The owner waved a hand dismissively. "There are no more!"
"What? They’re all gone already?"
Su Mo said angrily, "Owner, what kind of business are you running? I’ve only eaten one, and you’re already out. Believe it or not, I’ll flip your stall."
A Martial Artist’s appetite was huge.
A single steamed bun was barely enough to get stuck in his teeth.
The owner said with contempt, "There are so many of you, all scarfing down buns like wolves. How am I supposed to make them fast enough by myself? With all the turmoil going on, I’m already risking my life just by staying here to do business."
"Fine!"
Su Mo was completely exasperated.
Chen Ge’s eyes lit up. "Elder Su, are you very hungry?"
"Of course!"
Su Mo shot Chen Ge a look. "I haven’t eaten in days."
"Ah..."
Chen Ge was stunned speechless.
’Even a great figure like him has times when he goes hungry.’
Su Mo said, "Didn’t I tell you to scram? Why are you still here?"
"Elder Su, I came to treat you to a meal,"
Chen Ge said with a fawning smile.
Su Mo was pleasantly surprised. "A meal? Are you sure?"
Chen Ge said, "Of course. I know an especially good restaurant. They have countless delicacies from the mountains and seas, and even Demon Beast Flesh."
"Is there really such a good restaurant?"
Xiao Lang asked excitedly.
Chen Ge said hurriedly, "I might lie to anyone else, but I would never dare lie to Elder Su."
Then, Chen Ge added, "However, that restaurant has been completely booked. It’s only receiving geniuses and experts from the various Profound Domains."
"Do I not look like a genius?"
Xiao Lang asked, pointing to himself.
Chen Ge hesitated. "Well..."
He had seen all the geniuses from the Northern Profound Domain, but he had never seen Xiao Lang before and couldn’t gauge his strength.
"Take us there!"
Su Mo said.
Chen Ge was delighted. "As long as Elder Su is here, it won’t be a problem! We’ll all be welcomed."
"Let’s go, everyone!"
Su Mo beckoned.
With a great stir, the entire group followed behind Su Mo.
Chen Ge was dumbfounded.
’Why did Su Mo bring his entire family? It’s like he brought everyone but the family cat and dog.’
"Brother Chen, were you looking down on me just now?"
Xiao Lang asked, draping an arm over Chen Ge’s shoulder.
Chen Ge quickly denied it. "No, no! You’re part of Elder Su’s family. How could I dare look down on you?"
But in truth, he did look down on Xiao Lang a little.
’He’s just a mere Martial Artist.’
Most of those who dared to come to the Demon Venerable Burial Ground this time were at the Martial Master Great Perfection level; there were even many geniuses at the Grand Martial Artist Level.
"You were looking down on me, but that’s alright. I’ll show you a thing or two later."
Xiao Lang asked curiously, "You said someone was bullying the geniuses of our Northern Profound Domain. What’s that all about?"
"Tell me about it!"
Chen Ge pointed to his left cheek and said aggrievedly, "Look, they even slapped my face until it’s swollen."
Xiao Lang looked at Chen Ge’s left cheek, where a purple palm print was visible.
"Who did this?"
Xiao Lang asked.
Chen Ge said, aggrieved, "It was those guys from the Western Profound Domain. They even mocked us, saying the geniuses from our Northern Profound Domain can’t take a beating—that we’re all just bedbugs they could crush with one stomp."
"Don’t worry, I’ll get revenge for you later!"
Xiao Lang said comfortingly.
"You?"
Chen Ge looked at Xiao Lang doubtfully.
’They beat me, a Grand Martial Artist. How could Xiao Lang possibly win?’
’It’d be a different story if Su Mo stepped in, though.’
Xiao Lang said, "That’s right. Aren’t you treating me to all sorts of delicacies? For the sake of those delicacies, I’ve decided to help you out."
"If you treat me to a pig’s trotter, I’ll stand up for you too."
"I want to eat bird’s nest soup. I’ll help you beat them to death."
"I want to eat pig ears..."
