Chapter 427 - Shelter?
Translator: Transn Editor: Transn
When Su Mo and the other two flew out of the hall, they saw two rainbows in the skyline.
One of which must have been an Enlightenment Realm expert with strong aura, while the other, a normal True Spirit Realm martial artist.
The two were extremely fast. In the blink of an eye, the stronger one had taken the other and arrived above Gale Island.
Soon, the light of the rainbow scattered, revealing an old figure and a young one.
Su Mo was shocked while seeing the faces. He did not recognize the elder at Lv 1 Enlightenment Realm but was familiar with the youth!
It was Luo Qianfan, who had a good relationship with Su Mo.
He had not seen Luo Qianfan the last time he visited the Luo Family in Imperial City. It had never crossed his mind that Luo Qianfan would come here with an Enlightenment Realm expert.
Seeing the white-haired elder, Highest Elder turned pale.
It was not the strength that shocked him but the fact that they knew each other.
"Yue Gu, you... you're not dead?" He asked, looking at the elder.
"Li Qingping, it's been 20 years. I hope you're fine!"
The white-haired elder said with a beaming face. Li Qingping was the real name of Highest Elder, while Qing Pingzi was his Taoist name.
The white-haired elder did not answer the question. He looked at Su Mo and said surprisingly, "What a young hero. I could never imagine Gale Island to have such marvelous talent!"
Su Mo frowned slightly. It seemed like that the elder was also a Gale Island member!
He turned his doubtful eyes to Highest Elder.
Seeing this, Highest Elder started to explain.
The white-haired elder, Yue Gu, belonged to the imperial family while being an inner elder of Gale Island. In earlier days, Highest Elder had made an acquaintance with him.
However, he was killed 20 years ago, and now came back alive!
"Let's talk inside, shall we?" Yue Gu landed and said with a smile.
Soon, they went to the Sect hall and seated themselves. Su Mo sat in the main seat.
Yue Gu and Luo Qianfan were not surprised after seeing this.
"Brother Luo, what are you coming here for?"
Su Mo looked at Luo Qianfan after a glancing at Yue Gu.
At this moment, Su Mo had found out Luo Qianfan, who traveled with an Enlightenment Realm expert, was not that simple!
They would not be roaming here at such a timing, hence they must have some important issues.
Hearing this, Luo Qianfan glanced at Yue Gu and said after a short consideration. "Su Mo, are you going to take Gale Island out of Hong Domain?"
"Correct!" Su Mo did not need to lie.
"It's not appropriate!"
Luo Qianfan shook his head and continued, "Cold-blood Hall members have already swept the Hong Domain, and have their eyes on the submitted countries. You're taking the Sus, right? With the number of the people you're taking, you don't stand a chance in avoiding their eyes and leaving Hong Domain safely!"
Su Mo knitted his eyebrows. He thought it was considerably reasonable!
"You might be slaughtered before leaving Hong Domain!" Luo Qianfan continued.
Everyone fell silent!
That's right!
It was indeed a long march to leave Hong Domain, and it was indeed hard to keep everyone safe during the journey.
They had considered this issue before, when Cold-blood Hall had not yet waged war against the seven countries in South of Yan River. They thought that the Cold-blood Hall was still in preparation, hence took the opportunity to evacuate.
However, if Luo Qianfan told the truth, it became impossible for them to leave Hong Domain.
"What are you suggesting then?"
Su Mo fixed his eyes on Luo Qianfan and asked. He knew that Luo Qianfan must have a better solution!
"Su Mo, we've known each other for a long time, and I haven't told you my real identity. I am the 13th prince of the imperial family of Skymoon Country!"
Luo Qianfan sighed and said.
"The 13th prince?"
Su Mo was speechless. No wonder he had always thought Luo Qianfan was mysterious! For instance, when he was visiting the Luo family, he saw that Luo Qianfan's uncle was respectful toward Luo Qianfan.
It tuned out that he was a prince!
"My purpose here is to tell you that we Imperial family of Skymoon offers shelter to Gale Island and your family!" Luo Qianfan said in a deep voice.
"Really? Shelter?" Su Mo was doubtful if they had the strength to protect Gale Island members.
"Hum! With your little strength, you claim that you're able to protect us?"
Highest Elder questioned in a cold sound. The imperial family was raised by the four sects, under whom had been controlled for a long time. Now they claim that they can protect Gale Island, making Highest Elder feel ridiculous.
Luo Qianfan was not angry about this. He smiled and said, "Highest Elder, we now have two Enlightenment Realm experts and hundreds of True Spirit Realm experts. We are not weaker than the Gale Island in its old days!"
Luo Qianfan did not hide anymore, and he told the exact strength of the imperial family to them while Yue Gu sat quietly aside.
"What?" Highest Elder was surprised. He frowned and said, "When did you have such elaborate plans? It seems like you're after something big!"
There had been people from the four sects supervising the imperial family. If they did secretly develop to the level Luo Qianfan had said, their intent was self-evident!
No wonder Yue Gu came alive. He just hid and faked death!
"Under the pressure of Cold-blood Hall, you still mind this?"
Luo Qianfan did not deny anything. After all, it did not take a wise man to find out their intent.
"Even so, do you have the power to protect Gale Island?" Su Mo asked because he knew Luo Qianfan was prepared.
"Of course!" Luo Qianfan smiled and said, "As far as we know, Sky Rapier Sect and Sky Yuan Sect both planned to submit to Cold-blood Hall. The imperial family is subordinate to the four sects, so we will also join Cold-blood Hall by then."
"Nobody knows the true strength of the imperial family, and people still think that we're the puppet of the four sects to manage the Skymoon Country. Therefore, Cold-blood Hall will not pay attention to us, and we have the full confidence of hiding Gale Island members and the Sus from the eyes of the Cold-blood Hall!"
