Highest Elder took a deep breath. He carefully sized up Su Mo and calmed down.
“Su Mo, how should we punish them?”
Highest Elder pointed at the people standing in the middle of the hall and snarled, “They had betrayed us and then attacked us. They deserve severe punishment!”
He was asking for Su Mo’s decision. After all, his strength had topped Gale Island and Skymoon Country.
Besides, Su Mo had just saved Gale Island on his own.
Therefore, Highest Elder did not decide for himself and asked Su Mo.
“Su Mo, we made a mistake!”
“Su Mo, we were forced to do that. Please forgive us!”
“We know we were wrong. We’re willing to be punished!”
The crowd pleaded guilty and begged Su Mo to show mercy!
They knew that Su Mo now enjoyed the highest place on Gale Island, and they would be spared if he showed mercy.
Su Mo was faceless. He coldly eyed them. They were mostly inner elders, outer elders, and several core disciples.
He frowned and was thinking about how to deal with them.
Upon seeing Su Mo frowning, the crowd worried that Su Mo would punish them severely.
Suddenly, cold light glistened in his eyes. He then unshealthed his long sword and cast out horizontal rows of sword Qi.
Puff! Puff! Puff!
Ah! Ah! Ah!
Horrible shrieks came one after another. Almost 100 people were cut in two at the waist instantly and fell into a pool of blood.
Those who were not completely dead had regret in their eyes.
They thought that Su Mo would just punish them instead of slaying them. After all, 100 men equaled more than half of Gale Island’s strength.
However, nobody had expected that Su Mo was so brutal as to kill them all.
The others also turned pale with fright, including Highest Elder.
He also had not expected this.
After all, once he killed them, there would be only 60 or 70 True Spirit Realm experts left on Gale Island.
“You will pay for what you did! You don’t have the chance to start over again!”
Su Mo swept the corpses and said indifferently.
They deserved this!
Gale Island raised them and was betrayed in return when in danger. There was no need to keep them!
Moreover, he could not make sure that they would be loyal forever.
Keeping them was like holding an unstable bomb, hence Su Mo had to kill them all ruthlessly to end future troubles.
“Highest Elder, they’re trouble makers and we can’t keep them. You won’t blame me, right?” Su Mo looked at Highest Elder and said.
Highest Elder sighed and said, “Don’t worry about it, you’re right!”
Highest Elder could not do anything about it and knew that Su Mo did the right thing. He was just concerned about the significantly decreased strength of Gale Island.
Su Mo looked around and found that there were only about 60 True Spirit Realm experts left. This was several times less than before.
Having not found Wang Hui, Su Mo’s face turned and asked Elder Wei hurriedly, “Master, where’s Brother Wang? Is he...?”
Su Mo stopped talking because he had a feeling of misfortune.
Upon hearing this, Elder Wei, who had wounds on his body, said while his eyes were glistening with tears. “Hui’er has an incurable injury. I’m afraid that he...may not survive!”
“What?” Su Mo’s heart trembled, and then he felt hopeful that Wang Hui was not dead!
“Where is he now? Take me to him now, quickly.” Su Mo said hurriedly.
“This way!” Elder Wei instantly left the hall with Su Mo.
“Su Mo, I’ll be waiting for you here. We have important issues to discuss!”
Su Mo waved his consent at Highest Elder’s words.
Soon, Su Mo arrived at Elder Wei’s palace and saw Wang Hui lying on a wooded bed with his eyes closed.
Wang Hui’s face was ashen. His chest was badly mangled, and there were little signs of life.
“His internal organs and meridians were all broken!”
Elder Wei’s voice turned husky. “I already served him the best healing elixir and helped him refined the drug efficacy, yet it was ineffective. I’m afraid that he may not survive today!”
Su Mo stared at Wang Hui with his eyebrows knitted in a frown.
Moments later, a little jade bottle appeared in his hand which contained several drops of the 10,000-year Stalactite he obtained in the Firmament Divine Realm.
Last time in the Firmament Divine Realm, Su Mo had fought for a considerable amount of 10,000-year Stalactite and swallowed 99 percent of them at once. Now he only had few drops left.
The 10,000-year Stalactite could increase cultivation and could perform miracles to cure injuries, hence he took it out quickly.
Su Mo walked aside Wang Hui, tenderly opened his mouth, and dripped two drops of the 10,000-year Stalactite.
Soon after, Wang Hui started to show signs of life.
Su Mo was happy to see this. It worked!
“What treasure is this?” Elder Wei asked in surprise.
“Master, this is the 10,000-year Stalactite, which I obtained in the Firmament Divine Realm!”
Su Mo sighed and said, “I hope he can wake up soon!”
“The 10,000-year Stalactite!”
Elder Wei was shocked. He had heard of it and knew it was the rarest and the most precious thing in the world. He just did not expect Su Mo have it!
Elder Wei carefully checked Wang Hui’s body and said with joy. “Judging by the recovery speed, he’s very likely to wake up tomorrow!”
It swept away Elder Wei’s worries and made him happy!
They had a deep relationship. He adopted Wang Hui as a kid and trained Wang Hui with devotion. They were master and apprentice in name, yet father and son in feelings.
Before, he was grieved about the dying Wang Hui. Now, seeing the hope of curing Wang Hui, he got overexcited.
“Su Mo, I really appreciate it. If it weren’t for you, the Gale Island would be destroyed and we would all be dead!” Elder Wei looked at Su Mo and said seriously.
At this moment, Elder Wei could not help sighing that he underestimated Su Mo so much!
Su Mo laughed and said, “Master, you’re welcome!”
He thought for a while and said, “Master, I killed the elder of Cold-blood Hall and sabotaged their plans. I’m afraid that they will come after us. I’m going to talk with Highest Elder about the future of Gale Island. I’m leaving Brother Wang to you for now!”
Cold-blood Hall was a horrible power, and Gale Island would be facing dangers from now on! Su Mo felt a sense of urgency.
“Aye! Go!”
Su Mo then left and went back to the sect hall.
