For the time being, let us not speak of how the major powers of the Azure World reacted to the alliance between the Azure Divine Palace, Emperor Xuan Palace, and Sky Horizon Pavilion.
Meanwhile, after Su Mo and Xi'er left Emperor Xuan Palace, they flew along while chatting leisurely, carefree and unrestrained.
Su Mo did not concern himself much with the alliance. He had already discussed everything with Di Shi, and Di Shi had also sent people to contact Sky Horizon Pavilion.

"Of course!" Su Mo also glanced downward. Back then, it had been atop the walls of Emperor Spirit City that he issued Shangguan Hao a challenge and set the date for their duel.

"Notify the Great Elder immediately. We must intercept and kill Su Mo before
