It took Su Mo and his friends two weeks to return to Gale Island.
Gale Island looked deserted as most of the Outer Disciples were still at the war between countries.
They had heard that 3,000 Outer Disciples from Gale Island had gone to the main battlefield at Underhero City and some of them were from the top 10 disciples of the outer gate.
The 200,000 soldiers which formed the main force of Ironforest Country were attacking fiercely at Underhero City.
The situation at Underhero City was not known.
Su Mo would have gone to Underhero City had his strength been stronger.
However, it was a safer choice to go to Guanwu City since he had just broken through Lv 3 Spiritual Martial Realm.
Upon reaching Gale Island, Su Mo and his three friends reported immediately to the mission palace.
The results of the mission were initially based on the number of heads of the martial artists of Ironforest Country that they had brought back.
However, at the battlefield, it was impossible for them to behead the enemies.
Thus, the Sect had sent the elders to secretly record the results of the disciples.
Su Mo did not behead any of the martial artists of Ironforest Country.
When the four reached the mission palace, there were not many people.
There were only about a dozen disciples queuing to report on their missions and it was obvious that they had just returned.
Su Mo and his friends joined in the queue and waited patiently.
“Move aside!”
At this moment, an arrogant voice was heard outside the mission palace.
Su Mo turned and saw three youths walking in.
These three youths were very snobbish and flaunt their cultivation aura.
The cultivation of two of them were of the Peak Lv 5 Spiritual Martial Realm.
Their leader was a youth in red, who exuded a very strong aura that was way beyond the other two.
“It’s Senior Brother He Yangjun!”
“Move aside and make way for Senior Brother He!”
Those disciples who were queuing in front quickly moved aside.
Even Li Feng and his two friends were afraid and made way for them.
However, Su Mo stood still and had no intention of moving.
“He Yangjun?”
Upon hearing this name, Su Mo raised his eyebrows.
According to what he had heard, He Yangjun was of the Peak Lv 6 Spiritual Martial Realm, ranking in the ninth place among the top 10 disciples of the Outer Sect. And he was a member of the Sky Alliance.
The top 10 disciples of the Outer Sect were very well-known.
People might not know them, but they would definitely have heard their names being mentioned.
He Yangjun was extremely arrogant and strode in the mission palace with his two followers. He smirked when he saw the crowd making way for him.
“Hmnn?”
Suddenly, He Yangjun saw someone staying put and did not make way for him. He was displeased.
Ha!
He Yangjun was irritated and moved towards Su Mo.
“Su Mo?”
A youth beside He Yangjun recognized Su Mo and shouted suddenly, “Why’re you still alive?”
Upon hearing this, Su Mo gave a cold look.
It seemed that the Sky Alliance had it all planned to kill him. That was not a coincidence.
“You’re Su Mo?”
Upon hearing what the youth said, He Yangjun’s face turned grave.
Su Mo had killed more than 10 members of the Sky Alliance and this news had spread within the Alliance.
For this war between countries, they found that Su Mo had gone to Guanwu City, thus Senior Brother Yi Xiaoguang had assigned two disciples of Lv 5 Spiritual Martial Realm to kill him.
However, both of them had failed in their mission.
“You’re lucky to come back alive!”
He Yangjun sneered, looked at Su Mo with contempt and said, “I’ll not kill you today as I’ve no wish to dirty my hands. In any case, you shall die soon!”
“It’s none of your business as to how long I shall live!”
Upon hearing this, Su Mo laughed and said.
“You’ll not kill me?”
“Do you think you’re able to kill me?”
With the increase in his strength, Su Mo was very confident of himself.
Even if he could not defeat He Yangjun, He Yangjun would not be able to easily kill him either.
“Hahaha! You’re as stubborn as a mule!”
He Yangjun shrugged, smiled wryly and said, “Senior Brother Yi’s very interested in you. He’ll look for you when he’s back.”
Having said that, He Yangjun disregarded Su Mo, passed by him and went to the mission station.
“Yi Xiaoguang?”
A cold look flashed across Su Mo’s eyes.
“Even if he doesn’t look for me, soon I’ll look for him to settle our scores!”
“Elder, I’m here to report for my mission. Let me know my contribution points quickly.”
He Yangjun stood before the mission station and spoke to the elder of the mission palace with disrespect.
The elder of the mission palace was a skinny middle-aged man.
The elder frowned at He Yangjun’s attitude.
However, there was no rule that demanded the disciples to respect the elders, so he contained his anger.
Moreover, even though he was an outer elder, he would not want to set himself against the Sky Alliance.
Thus, the elder just took out the jade notes and checked.
The jade notes recorded the results of the disciples for all the battlefields.
Within a while, the elder said to He Yangjun, “He Yangjun, at Ancient Plain City, you’ve killed 136 martial artists of Ironforest Country, among them were five of Lv 6 Spiritual Martial Realm, 34 of Lv 5, 39 of Lv 4…
“In total, you’ve killed 236 people, so you’ve earned 12,840 contribution points!”
The mission palace became silent after the elder had said this.
Hiss!
Many of them held their breath.
“12,840 contribution points?”
“Wow!”
“That’s a lot!”
What did it mean to have over 10,000 contribution points?
For a martial artist of Lv 1 Spiritual Martial Realm, with these contribution points, he could exchange for large amount of high-quality elixirs, high-rank scrolls of martial arts and great weapons.
Within a short period of time, his strength would increase tremendously.
Everyone looked at He Yangjun with envy.
It would be maddening to compare with others!
He Yangjun could easily earn more than 10,000 contribution points in one mission.
Whereas for them, they had to struggle to earn less than 500 contribution points at times in a month.
This was the difference!
He Yangjun squinted his eyes, lifted up his head, and enjoyed the attention that he was getting from the people.
The feeling was great.
Seeing that no others went forth after He Yangjun, Su Mo went over to the mission station.
“Elder, I’m Su Mo, may I know how many contribution points do I have?” Su Mo held his fist together to greet the elder and said.
“Hmnn, ok!”
The elder smiled and nodded his head. Su Mo had good attitude and gave him his due respect.
This was so different from He Yangjun’s attitude, thus the elder had a good impression of Su Mo.
Immediately, the elder took the jade notes and checked.
Su Mo waited patiently.
He Yangjun had no intention of leaving as he would like to know how Su Mo fared and the contribution points he would be getting.
“Hmnn, with his strength, at most he’ll get 2,000-3,000 contribution points!”
He Yangjun mumbled to himself.
