Novel Full Chapter 1578 - 592: Nanhai Supreme Elder
This One-legged copper man was snatched from the Powerful King.
The Powerful King’s physical strength was astonishing, yet Zhen Xiaoxiao surpassed even him.
She dropped from the sky, slammed a Copper Man down, the Powerful King did his best to withstand it; the Copper Man never left her hand, but with the two forces added together, they actually bent this One-legged copper man.
Now Zhen Xiaoxiao held two One-legged copper men, each bobbing and bowing...
It looked as if they were welcoming guests.
Yet looking at this girl, she herself seemed completely unaware.
On the contrary, she was quite pleased with herself, very fond of these two One-legged copper men.
Su Mo smiled, and simply let her be.
Looking back to the field, the Eight sects came from all directions, this lot from Gui Xu Island had nowhere left to run and were finally captured to the last.
This battle, up to this point, could be said to be completely finished.
Gao Tianqi and the Five Leaders under his command also came over to Su Mo’s side at this time.
He turned his head to look toward the scene on the sea, and Gao Tianqi let out a long sigh:
"Young Alliance Leader, from today on, Gui Xu Island can be considered no more."
Su Mo smiled:
"I still have to thank Alliance Leader Gao for plotting and planning for me."
Gao Tianqi hurriedly waved his hand:
"Back then on Tianqi Island, inside the Qi Family Mansion, it was the Young Alliance Leader who proposed first seizing Gui Xu Island, then using this Martial God Temple as bait to lure the remnants of Gui Xu Island in and wipe them out in one stroke.
"I merely offered a few insignificant suggestions on the side, that’s all."
"Alliance Leader Gao, those words are far too modest."
Su Mo shook his head at this:
"If it weren’t for Alliance Leader Gao’s deep understanding of Xu Huai Valley, how could we have taken Gui Xu Island first?
"Once Gui Xu Island was taken, there was no foothold left in Nanhai for Xu Huai Valley.
"They either had to leave Nanhai and seek another path.
"Or else they could only stake everything on one throw... and come to the Martial God Temple in an attempt to turn the tide.
"In the details of all this, the least misstep and today’s situation would never have appeared.
"Alliance Leader Gao’s merits are immense, so you must not belittle yourself."
Gao Tianqi, hearing this, also gave a rather pleased smile:
"In the end, it is the Young Alliance Leader whose stratagems are extraordinary; only thus could this matter be accomplished without harming the Nanhai commoners in the slightest."
Originally, according to Gao Tianqi’s idea, they were going to sneak in and quietly take the things inside this Martial God Temple.
After all, according to the legend.
As long as one obtained the Martial God Temple’s inheritance, one could become the Nanhai Supreme.
This matter naturally could not be made public.
After obtaining the Martial God Temple’s inheritance, they would gather the forces of the Nanhai Alliance and Dragon King Hall to jointly attack Gui Xu Island.
This battle would clearly be a hard one to fight.
In the process, the ones who would suffer most miserably would of course be the Nanhai commoners.
Although the two great powers were formidable and taking cities and lands would be no problem, on a battlefield like this, it was not the same as Jianghu duels and skirmishes.
The commoners would inevitably be dragged into it.
Before Su Mo settled on this plan, he had already told Gao Tianqi that if this trip went smoothly, they could completely unify Nanhai without harming the Nanhai commoners by even the slightest amount.
When Gao Tianqi heard this, he hurriedly inquired in detail; the two of them studied it in the room for several hours before finally settling the matter completely.
Today’s single stroke of great achievement truly made Gao Tianqi feel indescribably elated.
That Young Island Master of Gui Xu Island raised his head and looked up at this old and this young man, only feeling that their smiles were incomparably sly and sinister.
He gnashed his teeth:
"Su Mo... you won’t come to a good end!
"You definitely won’t come to a good end!!!"
Just as the words got this far, Xiao He pressed a hand down on his neck:
"Since when is it your turn to speak here?
"Whatever the Hall Master asks you, you answer; when the Hall Master doesn’t ask you, you just shut your mouth for me."
The situation was stronger than the man.
A clever and wise Young Island Master naturally understood this principle.
For the moment, even if his heart was filled with rage and grief that he could not swallow, he could only grit his teeth and endure.
Su Mo then asked Gao Tianqi again:
"Alliance Leader Gao, how is your body?"
"Haha..."
Gao Tianqi laughed:
"Just now in the Martial God Temple, I had some realizations, that’s why my soul seemed absent.
"I made the Young Alliance Leader worry; now there’s no serious problem, I only ask that the Young Alliance Leader rest assured...
"Mm, however, this form of address ’Young Alliance Leader’ seems to be no longer quite appropriate.
"Today’s situation is just right, and it is also the time when Gui Xu Island has been greatly defeated and war merits are piled high.
"We must seize this opportunity: first, to deal with the prisoners from Gui Xu Island.
"Second... to unify Nanhai, right here today!!"
The people around them, hearing Gao Tianqi speak this way, couldn’t help but all look toward Su Mo, their eyes suddenly burning hot.
Su Mo drew in a deep breath and turned back toward this vast Martial God Temple and the plaza before the hall.
He smiled lightly:
"Alliance Leader Gao speaks rightly; this matter should be done sooner rather than later. Since that’s the case, then let all our brothers escort the members of Gui Xu Island to this plaza.
"Right here in front of the Martial God Temple, we’ll see this great matter done!"
Everyone exchanged a glance, then clasped fists and bowed at once:
"We respectfully obey... the Supreme Elder’s decree!!"
Hearing this, Su Mo couldn’t help being rather impressed with them.
When they said those two words, "Supreme Elder," did they not feel embarrassed?
Anyway, just listening to it made Su Mo feel a bit flushed... there was always some subtle chuunibyou feeling to it.
But now his status was no longer ordinary.
This battle had settled the grand situation, and he had leapt in one bound to stand atop the Nanhai Peak.
At such a moment, it really wasn’t appropriate to laugh carelessly.
What followed was a bout of tumult and chaos.
First, each passed down their decrees, then the Eight Sects leader came in turn to pay respects.
What surprised Su Mo was that the Left and Right Two Saints were actually among them.
After everyone had paid great courtesy to Su Mo, Right Saint Dongfang Yu then briefly explained the ins and outs of the matter.
Earlier, Right Saint Dongfang Yu had left Su Mo’s ship a step ahead, first to go cause trouble for that Dark Dragon Hall, and second also to rescue that Left Saint Zuo Yuhuan.
Since Dark Dragon Hall had made a move, it was naturally impossible for them to have captured only one Right Saint.
