Invincible Starting From the Nine Dragons Technique

Chapter 298: The Consequences of Not Bringing a Gift

"SCREECH!"

The Cyan Cloud Sparrow carried Su Mo into the sky, disappearing among the clouds.

Below, several hundred Demon Beasts took flight.

The scene was magnificent.

Half a day later, the group arrived at a massive city built from giant, jet-black stones.

Shi Feng pointed to the city below. "Elder Su, this is Xuri City, where our Shi Family resides."

"Xuri City?"

Su Mo asked, confused, "Why did you bring us here?"

Shi Feng smiled. "The Central Profound Domain is very far from here. Even for a Martial Emperor, it would take half a month to fly there. But with a Teleportation Array, we can arrive in the blink of an eye."

"Oh?"

Su Mo's eyes lit up.

The Northern Profound Domain wasn't very large, so traveling by Cyan Cloud Sparrow was sufficient. The Central Profound Domain, however, was different. It was as large as a thousand Northern Profound Domains combined.

A Teleportation Array was clearly necessary for such a distance.

TAP, TAP, TAP!

Just as the group entered the Shi Family estate, an old man walked up to them and said respectfully, "Patriarch, the Teleportation Array to the Central Profound Domain is ready. You may use it at any time."

"Take us there!"

Shi Feng commanded.

"Yes!"

The old man led the way, glancing back at Su Mo from time to time. 'He's just as young as the legends say,' he thought.

'Young, but unfathomably deep.'

Guided by the old man, Su Mo and the others arrived in a large hall. Several array platforms stood within it, each glowing with a halo of light.

Each platform was a Teleportation Array.

The old man pointed to one of them. "This is the Teleportation Array to the Giant Sword Sect. Just step on it, and you'll be transported."

"Good!"

Without hesitation, Su Mo stepped onto the Teleportation Array and vanished in a flash of white light.

The others quickly followed.

When they opened their eyes again, they had arrived in an unfamiliar land, surrounded by towering, ancient trees.

"So this is the Central Profound Domain? The Spiritual Qi is so rich!"

"It's so much stronger than in the Northern Profound Domain."

"No wonder everyone yearns for the Central Profound Domain. Just based on the rich Spiritual Qi here, one's Cultivation speed would be dozens of times faster."

Everyone sighed with emotion.

Although it couldn't compare to Qingyang City, the Spiritual Qi was still dozens of times denser than anywhere else in the Northern Profound Domain, making one feel refreshed and invigorated.

The Evil King looked around. "Old Shi, why did you teleport us into the wilderness? Where's the Giant Sword Sect?"

"My apologies, I forgot to mention it. Our Shi Family's Teleportation Array teleports to a random location,"

Shi Feng explained.

The Evil King asked, confused, "Why?"

Shi Feng said, "To prevent people from lying in ambush for us."

The Shi Family is a merchant family. Each time we come to the Central Profound Domain, we carry a great deal of treasure. After a while, we'd surely be targeted by those who kill for riches.

Therefore, the Teleportation Arrays we built only have a general range, not a fixed destination. This makes it difficult for others to track us.

Su Mo asked, "You should know which direction the Giant Sword Sect is in, right?"

"I do!"

Shi Feng looked around. "We're not far from the Giant Sword Sect. We can reach their mountain gate in about an hour. I'll lead the way."

"Alright!"

Su Mo and the others followed Shi Feng, heading toward the Giant Sword Sect's mountain gate.

Gradually, the road became more crowded with travelers.

With their Demon Beasts, Su Mo's group numbered over four hundred, naturally attracting a lot of attention.

A young man approached Su Mo and asked, "Brother, are you all here to celebrate Elder Su's birthday too?"

"You too?"

Su Mo asked, glancing at the people behind the young man.

The young man nodded. "My name is Yang Bin, from the Yang Family of Yang City. I came with my clan uncle, Yang Bo, to celebrate Elder Su's birthday and see the world."

The young man pointed to the middle-aged man behind him.

'A Half-Step Martial Emperor?'

Su Mo casually glanced at Yang Bo.

Yang Bin exclaimed in surprise, "Brother, you've got a sharp eye! To be able to see my clan uncle's Realm... you must be a genius too."

"A genius?"

Su Mo chuckled.

Yang Bin pointed to himself and said proudly, "To be honest, I'm a genius myself. I'm already a Mid Stage Martial Monarch. If I run into some weakling at the Late Stage Martial Monarch Realm, I can even kill them, fighting above my level. I can even tear a Tier Four Demon Beast apart with my bare hands."

"Tear a Tier Four Demon Beast apart with your bare hands?"

Su Mo said with admiration, "To have such strength at only twenty years old, you truly deserve to be called a genius. I'm impressed."

Without some special opportunity, even a genius would find it difficult to reach the Mid Stage Martial Monarch Realm by the age of twenty.

Therefore, Yang Bin was worthy of the title 'genius.'

After all, when Su Mo first met Fairy Jinghong, she was only at the Martial Monarch Realm. And she was the champion of the previous Holy Spirit Competition, boosted by its rewards.

Even so, it took Fairy Jinghong a full five years of Cultivation to reach the Martial Monarch Realm, making her seem inferior to Yang Bin in this regard.

Of course, things were different now.

Yang Bin laughed. "You're not bad yourself. That Wisdom Eye of yours is damn sharp. You must be at the Martial Monarch Realm too, right?"

Su Mo shook his head. "To be perfectly honest, I'm only an Early Stage Martial Artist."

"What?"

"Early Stage Martial Artist?"

Yang Bin asked in astonishment, "Are you sure you're not joking with me?"

"Why would I lie to you?"

Su Mo shrugged.

Yang Bin slung an arm around Su Mo's shoulder. "Early Stage Martial Artist it is, then. You may not be a genius, but it's not too bad. Don't worry, I'll have your back."

"Thank you, Brother Yang!"

Su Mo said politely.

Yang Bin waved his hand. "No need to be so polite, brother. By the way, where are you from? What family?"

Su Mo replied, "We are the Xiao Family, from the Desolate Empire."

"The Xiao Family from the Desolate Empire?"

Yang Bin shook his head. "Sorry, I've never heard of your Xiao Family. By the way, what gift did your Xiao Family bring for Elder Su?"

"A gift?"

Su Mo scratched his head. "I don't think we need to bring a gift, right, Second Elder?"

"We do not!"

The Second Elder waved his hand dismissively.

They were here to receive gifts.

"What?"

"You didn't bring a gift?"

Yang Bin said in disbelief, "Is your Xiao Family looking to die?"

Su Mo was stunned.

'Die just for not bringing a gift?'

'Who made that rule?'

Yang Bin said grimly, "Brother, take my advice and run. It'll be too late if you wait. Otherwise, you'll die a horrible death, and your whole family will die with you."

"Kid, watch your mouth!"

the Cyan Cloud Sparrow snapped.

Yang Bin looked at the green-robed young man that the Cyan Cloud Sparrow had transformed into and said coldly, "Who are you? I'm talking to my brother. What business is it of yours?"

"You little—!"

Just as the Cyan Cloud Sparrow was about to erupt, Su Mo glanced back and shot him a glare. "Shut up. Get to the back."

"Yes!"

The Cyan Cloud Sparrow obediently moved to the back of the group.

Yang Bin asked quizzically, "Brother, do you really not know the consequences of not bringing a gift, or are you just pretending?"

Su Mo shook his head. "I really don't know."

"Alright, then I'll tell you!"

Yang Bin said grimly, "The Sect Leader of the Giant Sword Sect has declared that anyone who comes without a gift will be torn to pieces and have their nine generations of kin exterminated."

Su Mo was taken aback. "That brutal?"

"Brutal doesn't even begin to cover it."

Yang Bin sighed. "You've heard of the Giant Sword Sect's Celestial Vault Battleship, right? Its power is terrifying. A single blast can destroy a city or even an entire sect."

Su Mo frowned. "But wasn't that thing destroyed?"
