High-Martial World: System Arrives 30 Years Late

Chapter 605 - 417: Raising the Coffin on the Snowy Mountain, the Legend of the Holy Mountain!

The venue fell into complete silence for a moment.

Today, one of the Martial Saints of the world, the Ye Family Ancestor, made a powerful move, first suppressing hundreds of crazed Great Grandmasters, and then punishing the head of the Ye Family with a year’s confinement during the Patriarch’s grand banquet.

Even the current head of the Ye Family dared not defy a Martial Saint.

And now, such a strong existence was directly addressing someone who had just killed a Ye Family Celestial Pride?

"I obey, senior."

Su Mu bowed respectfully, without arrogance or self-deprecation, having already prepared in his heart to bear a certain cost. After all, this was the Ye Family, a top-tier power in Huaxia guarded by a Martial Saint.

But today, Ye Jian had to die. Su Mu would not allow a petty and vengeful person, who had evil black mist powers, to remain in the world, as leaving him alive would be a disaster.

Now that the Ye Family Ancestor had given him an out, Su Mu would not be ungrateful.

"It seems Marshal Yue was right; to become a Martial Saint, one must be a person of great courage and vision."

Of course, Su Mu was also aware that besides magnanimity, the Ye Family actually had some request of him as well.

Thus Su Mu nearly spared no effort in showcasing twelve paths of Immortal Power, and his actions in helping the two from the Southern War Zone suppress the evil black mist could not have escaped the Ye Family Ancestor.

In any case, the Ye Family currently needed him to rescue those hundreds of crazed Ye Family Grandmasters, which gave Su Mu a bargaining chip. Thus, he would not offend the Ye Family; rather, he could make them owe him a significant favor.

This situation was what Su Mu needed, and it turned out to be even smoother than he anticipated.

"I killed Ye Jian, and the Ye Family Ancestor made a move; everyone present, including this Martial Saint, will serve as my witnesses..."

"No, the people from Japan have no chance now."

The apparitional form of the Ye Family Ancestor soon dissipated. Su Mu returned to the Martial Arts Arena and calmly glanced around.

"What I said just now still stands; anyone who wants to make a move, come at me together."

Su Mu spoke similar words once again, but this time no one thought him arrogant, rather believing it was rightfully so, for the strong should be this way!

Putting aside the strength Su Mu displayed during the earlier upheaval, or how the Ye Family Ancestor addressed him as a young friend,

just the fact that Su Mu transformed his palm into a blade and struck down the Titled Grandmaster Ye Jian with one slash was shockingly extraordinary.

"Yesterday, Su Mu suppressed Huangfu Tian, reaching the top of the Junlin Pavilion’s Sword Monument without the slightest trick!"

"Today’s events must be reported back home immediately; Huaxia has produced not only a Huangfu Tian but now also a Su Mu, who is no less formidable than Huangfu Tian."

"Wrong, Ye Wuhen mentioned that this guy had just become a Martial Arts Grandmaster, yet to cut down a Titled Grandmaster so quickly in reverse, possibly overwhelming, makes Su Mu an even more monstrous presence than Huangfu Tian!"

"This guy also holds grudges harshly; he just eliminated the oblivious people from Japan because they provoked him during that upheaval, leaving none alive."

"And Su Mu’s methods are indeed exceptional; after all, he did not directly kill those fools from Japan, putting the blame instead on the Ye Family."

"But even without that upheaval, with his capability, if those people from Japan dared to enter the Martial Arts Arena, the outcome might have been the same, if not worse."

At this moment, faced with Su Mu’s gaze, no one dared meet his eyes.

All the Ye Family members and various forces present understood that after today, Su Mu’s fame would undoubtedly rise, and his name not only resonate throughout Huaxia but also amaze other countries.

A calm Ye Xuanshan soon understood it too, feeling regret in his heart.

"The Ancestor was right; I was wrong in this matter, Ye Jian indeed deserved death. It’s no longer suitable for me to make another appearance; it’s better for Xuanhai to build relations with Su Mu on behalf of the Ye Family."

Each of the Celestial Prides bowed their heads, while a hint of disappointment flashed through Su Mu’s deep eyes.

Huangfu Tian did not appear.

Immediately, Su Mu sighed lightly and stepped down from the Martial Arts Arena, and many felt a sense of enormous humiliation, though being humiliated was better than being slaughtered by Su Mu.

"Su Mu, you were impulsive just now; you shouldn’t have killed people at the Ye Family, but thanks for today anyway."

Soon, a mental transmission came from Huangfu Xue, where worry dominated, but also reflected a sense of joy.

"It’s nothing."

Su Mu’s brief mental transmission conveyed indifference.

Nothing?!

He killed the Ye Family’s Celestial Pride at their grand banquet, with even the Ye Family Ancestor taking action, and this is still considered a small matter?!

If today’s events were to spread, the whole of Huaxia would shudder!

Huangfu Xue rolled her eyes, her heart in her throat when the Ye Family Ancestor acted, yet only Su Mu could claim it to be a small matter.

"Leaders, are you alright?"

"We’re fine, how could there be anything wrong with us."

With that said, Zhao Dong and his companions looked at Su Mu with burning eyes, akin to gazing upon a priceless treasure, "Su Mu General Star, you’ve given us a huge surprise. Haha, I’m eagerly anticipating how the people from the other four War Zones will react upon seeing you at the Military Department competition; it will certainly be spectacular!"

After Su Mu’s battle, the Martial Arts exchange continued, though everyone lacked interest. Following Su Mu’s slash of Ye Jian before, any subsequent excitement seemed like child’s play.

Before the exchange ended, a figure approached.

Resting with eyes closed, Su Mu opened his eyes to discover it was someone from the Bright Church Court.
