Su Mo knew that the system would reward him again. But he didn't expect to receive a Mysterious Demonic Beast Egg and another item that he was unfamiliar with.
However, Su Mo knew that the system's products were of high quality, and these new rewards would be a great addition to him and the village.
Satisfied, Su Mo walked back to the main hall.
…
"Master, have you discovered any formations?"
Meanwhile, Earth Fiend Daoist and his disciples had finished walking around the Crimson Heart Village.
"No, this place should have just been rebuilt, and Su Mo probably hasn't had the time to set up a Protective Barrier Formation yet. But even if a kid that is a cultivator of the Meridian Formation Realm sets up a defensive barrier, it won't be powerful."
Earth Fiend Daoist looked around but couldn't find any traces of the Protective Barrier Formation, so he was relieved.
"That's right. Master, shall we make a move now?" A disciple said urgently.
"Of course. I think it's a waste to leave this place in the hands of that kid for even a minute!" Earth Fiend Daoist replied.
"Yes, Master. This place should belong to you. Don't let it go to waste in the hands of that kid!" Another disciple echoed.
"Let's go and look for that kid." Earth Fiend Daoist said with a wave of his hand.
After saying that, Earth Fiend Daoist led his disciples toward the direction of the main hall.
…
"Are you done strolling through the village, sir? Is there anything else I can do for you?" Su Mo looked at Earth Fiend Daoist, who looked to be in a hurry, and asked.
"I'll help you avenge the Crimson Heart Clan and then restore the village to its former glory," Earth Fiend Daoist looked at Su Mo and said.
Su Mo was a little confused. He knew that Earth Fiend Daoist was a ruthless and selfish man. He even used his disciples as a vessel, so why would Earth Fiend Daoist offer to help him all of a sudden?
Was it because of his relationship with Su Mo's master? But that should be impossible. If they were on good terms, they would have been indignant from the start.
Su Mo wondered what was happening.
"You're not helping me for nothing, right?" Su Mo looked at Earth Fiend Daoist and asked.
"Of course, there must be a reason for me to help you," The Earth Fiend Priest said.
"What is it you want in return, sir?" Su Mo had already sensed that Earth Fiend Daoist was going to request something unusual.
"I want to be the clan master of the Crimson Heart Village. From now on, everything will be under my control! You must also hand over all the cultivation treasures and resources you have. Only then will I help you avenge your clan," Earth Fiend Daoist said.
"You are asking for too much, sir. I will not agree to such a condition," Su Mo immediately refused.
It seemed that the Earth Fiend Daoist had taken a fancy to this fortuitous land and offered to help Su Mo.
"You have to think carefully about your options, kid. With your cultivation level, you might not be able to take revenge even if you cultivated for another hundred years. You might as well pay me to help you," Earth Fiend Daoist persuaded.
"Forget it. I don't need to do that. I truly believe that I can do it," Su Mo replied.
"Don't refuse my proposal and force me to take it!" Earth Fiend Daoist fiercely said as he grew tired of pretending.
"You'd better obediently surrender before you anger my master, kid. Otherwise, you will meet a cruel fate," one of Earth Fiend Daoist's disciples said.
"What? Have you seen my blade? Do you truly want to act against me? Haven't you considered the fact that I have activated a Protective Barrier Formation?" Su Mo said calmly.
"Of course I have. I've already checked for it, and I know there are no defensive formations! You'd better stop behaving so arrogantly," Earth Fiend Daoist said confidently.
"It seems that you are well prepared, sir," Su Mo said sincerely.
"Hmph, since you're so disobedient, I'll just kill right now. When the time comes, this village and its treasures will belong to me anyway!"
After saying this, Earth Fiend Daoist took out his spiritual tool and prepared to attack.
Su Mo immediately ran out of the village when he saw this. He couldn't risk destroying the main hall.
"Where do you think you're going?!" Seeing that Su Mo was trying to escape, Earth Fiend Daoist hurriedly chased him.
After a while, he attacked Su Mo.
When Su Mo noticed that he was in an unfavorable situation, he hurriedly used the power of the Thirty-six Heavenly Cycles Formation. At this moment, Su Mo felt that his entire body was filled with power.
He even felt invincible.
…
The noise outside caused a shockwave that reached the grand library not too far away from the village's main hall.
"Is Clan Master Su in danger? What should I do? Is he going to die? Should I go out there to help him? Would I even be of help if I went out there? I'd just be getting in the way! B-But I can't just sit here. Clan Master Su has treated me so well. If I just cower here like this…" Shi Yunshan was in a dilemma.
"Clan Master Su has treated me well. I must show my gratitude by helping him. But the opponent that he's fighting is my former master. What use will I be if I go out?"
…
"No, I have to get out there. I have to help Clan Master Su!" After hesitating for a long while, Shi Yunshan finally made up his mind.
…
But when he went out, he witnessed an unbelievable scene. Su Mo was able to hold his own against Earth Fiend Daoist. Shi Yunshan could vaguely see that Su Mo had a slight upper hand.
Shi Yunshan knew that Su Mo had activated a secret technique to increase the strength of his cultivation, but if this battle were to be drawn out, Su Mo might not be able to keep it up.
Shi Yunshan became anxious for a moment and did not know what to do.
"You finally decided to show yourself. I didn't kill him because I was waiting for you to come out and finish the job," Su Mo said after seeing Shi Yunshan.
"You want me to do it? But I…"
Before Shi Yunshan could finish his sentence, he felt a force enter his body.
"What is this?" Shi Yunshan did not understand what was going on.
"Don't be afraid of that old b*stard. Overcome your fear and take your revenge!" Su Mo shouted.
"But I..." Shi Yunshan was interrupted again.
Su Mo had given Shi Yunshan the power of his formation, and his cultivation had returned to the Meridian Formation Realm. When Earth Fiend Daoist saw this, he immediately launched a sneak attack on Su Mo.
When Shi Yunshan saw this, he activated his movement technique and appeared before Su Mo to block his former master's attack.
"Master, Stop!" Although Shi Yunshan was currently empowered, he did not dare to act rashly.
After all, Earth Fiend Daoist had been a part of his life for a long time. When Shi Yunshan saw his former master, he began to feel numb.
"This is good. I didn't expect you to be hiding here. It looks like this is my lucky day! Get lost. I'll deal with you later."
Earth Fiend Daoist had forgotten that he was in a battle and was currently weak. He only felt that he was genuinely fortunate at this moment. He had obtained a prosperous land and even managed to find his lost vessel. Earth Fiend Daoist now had hope of ascending to the Nascent Soul Realm.
"I'm sorry, Master. I shouldn't have left you. I'll go back with you. Please, don't make things difficult for Clan Master Su!" Shi Yunshan hurriedly said.
"Go back? We're not going anywhere! This place is mine now! Get out of my way quickly. I want to deal with that kid!" Earth Fiend Daoist said mercilessly.
"I beg you, Master. When I return, I will be your vessel and cultivate well. I will help you ascend to the Nascent Soul Realm when the time comes. Please don't harm this village," Shi Yunshan pleaded.
