Chapter 1860 - Seclusion
Su Zimo waved it off and said to Yue Hao and the other two, "I'm only at the Level 5 Black Essence realm and can't compare to you guys. I can't be the leader."
"Boss Su, what are you talking about?"
Shen Fei said hurriedly, "Others might not know about your capabilities, but do you think we don't know? No one will dare to disobey you as our leader!"
Su Zimo shook his head still. "If you guys want to camp here, that's fine. However, I won't be the leader."
Yue Hao and the other two exchanged glances. When they saw Su Zimo's resolute attitude, they did not persuade him further.
Actually, Su Zimo had his own considerations and reservations for declining this matter.
One day, he would leave the Dragon Abyss Star.
He did not want to leave too many ties on the Dragon Abyss Star.
If he were to become the leader of Sun Vanquishing Stronghold, it might not be a good thing for him or Sun Vanquishing Stronghold.
Su Zimo turned to look at Duan Tianliang. "Take the Fellow Daoists of Sun Vanquishing Stronghold who are familiar with the vicinity and settle down nearby to open up spirit fields."
"Boss, don't worry. Leave it to me,"
Duan Tianliang patted his chest.
Su Zimo then said to Yue Hao, "These desolate lands are rather secluded. You guys can cultivate here in peace and recuperate to strengthen yourselves."
Pondering for a moment, he took out a few storage bags and handed them to Duan Tianliang, Yue Hao and the others. "There are some Essence Condensation Pills here. Take them and cultivate for the time being to raise your cultivation as soon as possible."
"Brother Su, this…"
Yue Hao was a little embarrassed and was about to decline.
Su Zimo had already turned towards his cave abode. "Next, I'm going into seclusion as well. If there's nothing important, don't look for me."
"Thank you, boss!"
Duan Tianliang shouted happily.
Although he did not contribute much by accompanying Su Zimo to Dragon Abyss City, he was on tenterhooks the entire way and was scared out of his wits.
Su Zimo gave him some Essence Condensation Pills as compensation and consolation.
Duan Tianliang opened his storage bag and took a look.
His gaze froze instantly!
Initially, he thought that it would already be amazing if Su Zimo rewarded him with dozens or even a hundred Essence Condensation Pills.
After all, back in Snow Wind Ridge, it would take dozens of years to accumulate a hundred Essence Condensation Pills.
However, he had not expected the number of Essence Condensation Pills in the storage bag to be so shocking that he was stupefied!
Duan Tianliang took a few deep breaths and counted repeatedly.
10,000!
10,000 Essence Condensation Pills!
A strong sense of happiness rose in Duan Tianliang's heart and he rolled his eyes, almost fainting on the spot.
On the other side, Yue Hao and the others opened their storage bags as well and gasped with shocked expressions!
Yue Hao had 100,000 Essence Condensation Pills in his storage bag.
There were 50,000 in Shen Fei and Gu Wenjun's storage bags!
For Yue Hao, 100,000 Essence Condensation Pills were enough for him to cultivate for hundreds of years!
Actually, Su Zimo had close to 10,000,000 Essence Condensation Pills in his storage bag. However, he did not give Yue Hao and the others too many.
Given Yue Hao, Duan Tianliang and the others' physiques and cultivation realms, the number of Essence Condensation Pills they could refine daily was limited.
For example, Duan Tianliang took more than two months to refine an Essence Condensation Pill.
Yue Hao was faster but even then, he could only refine one a day at most.
If they were given too many Essence Condensation Pills, they wouldn't be able to use all either.
However, it was different for Su Zimo.
He was the Green Lotus True Body and could devour and refine ten Essence Condensation Pills within a day when he was at the Level 4 Black Essence realm.
Now that he was at the Level 5 Black Essence realm, the demand for Essence Condensation Pills was even greater!
He could even devour and refine a hundred Essence Condensation Pills in a day!
He had to consume more than 30,000 Essence Condensation Pills to cultivate for a year!
The demand was extremely shocking but it was only logical.
The Creation Green Lotus had already grown to Grade 9.
Su Zimo's current cultivation was not only on his own, but also with the growth of the Creation Green Lotus.
It was not so easy for the Creation Green Lotus to grow!
Thankfully, Su Zimo obtained a large number of Essence Condensation Pills for this trip to Dragon Abyss City and was able to maintain his cultivation.
…
Blood Sun Valley.
Three people sat in a dark room.
One of them was rather handsome but he had a single arm and one empty sleeve—it was the young master of Blood Sun Valley, Chen Xuanyang.
In a month's time, Chen Xuanyang's injuries had healed significantly and his face had regained some color.
However, his arm was severed forever and could not regrow unless he cultivated to the Earth Immortal realm!
Opposite Chen Xuanyang sat a Grade 7 Black Immortal, another protector of Blood Sun Valley, Wei Shan.
There was someone sitting in the middle.
However, the person was hidden in the darkness and his appearance could not be seen clearly; only a rough outline could be seen.
That was the Valley Master of Blood Sun Valley!
The news of the battle in Dragon Abyss City had long spread.
The Evil Wolf Army suffered the greatest losses in this battle.
Second was Blood Sun Valley!
Notwithstanding the loss of close to 5,000 troops, they even lost a Grade 7 Black Immortal protector!
Chen Xuanyang lost an arm as well.
Ever since Blood Sun Valley was established, it had been through countless battles but it had never encountered such a huge setback!
The atmosphere in the room was a little stuffy and troubling.
"Father, what should we do about this?"
Chen Xuanyang could not help but ask, "We can't take this lying down! If we can't tear Su Zimo into pieces, our Blood Sun Valley will probably be mocked by countless people!"
Wei Shan said in a deep voice, "Valley Master, the reputation of Blood Sun Valley and the Evil Wolf Army has indeed fallen to the bottom during this period of time."
"Many factions and cultivators have begun to question our strength and want to leave our control."
"I heard that some factions are even tempted to replace Blood Sun Valley!"
The Valley Master of Blood Sun Valley was silent for a moment before asking, "What do you guys think?"
"Father, I suggest that we search for Su Zimo immediately. We have to find him even if we have to dig underground!" Chen Xuanyang said hatefully.
Wei Shan was silent and did not agree.
The Valley Master of Blood Sun Valley said indifferently, "If Su Zimo wants to hide, even the eight factions might not be able to find him, let alone the full strength of Blood Sun Valley."
"This lad is indeed a latent danger. Thankfully, his cultivation realm is not high and he's not a huge problem."
"Xuanyang, don't worry. When that lad appears again, I'll capture him alive personally and leave him for you to deal with!"

"Thank you, father!"
Chen Xuanyang knelt down hurriedly with a delighted expression.
If his father was willing to step in, Su Zimo would definitely die if he dared to show himself!
The Valley Master of Blood Sun Valley pondered for a moment. "That lad can hide for a while, but he can't hide for the rest of his life! One day, he'll appear again! At that time, he'll die!"
"All we have to do now is to wait patiently,"
Wei Shan nodded as well. "That lad's cultivation realm is not high. Even if he hides and cultivates for hundreds or thousands of years, it'll be difficult for him to achieve anything. Right now, the most important thing is to stabilize Blood Sun Valley's status and strength!"
The Valley Master of Blood Sun Valley said, "Wei Shan, go and deal with any factions that harbor ill intentions! Kill anyone who challenges the might of Blood Sun Valley without mercy!"
"Understood!"
Wei Shan stood up and replied with a murderous gaze.
