Su Mo appeared a thousand li away. Tilting his head up to feel the rain striking his face, he let out a deep sigh. "This rain will probably last a long time!"
Su Mo lowered his head and looked toward the Rain Sect, transmitting his voice into his Spirit Sea:
"Elder Sister Great Calamity..."
"I want the Sacred Artifact, Frost!
This was his agreement with the Rain Sect: take Frost away, draw the Phoenix Race's attention, and take Frost's karma into his own hands.
He knew that few people even within the Rain Sect knew of this arrangement.
And his agreement with Yu Gu had actually been an agreement with the aged man who had just fallen.
He would receive the Sacred Artifact and take on the karma attached to it...
The Phoenix Race's karma, through the Sacred Artifact's karma.
From then on, the Phoenix Race and all the Sacred Artifact's former owners would spare no effort to find him.
This was an open stratagem... Su Mo wanted the Sacred Artifact, and the Rain Sect wanted peace.
This, too, had already been agreed upon... All that remained now was to put on a show, a grand performance that the whole world would know about!
"Elder Sister Great Calamity, I want the Sacred Artifact Frost!"
Su Mo transmitted his voice to Great Calamity within his Spirit Sea.
"As long as you've thought it through," Great Calamity's reply rang out in Su Mo's mind, before she added another sentence.
"As long as you understand what taking Frost will mean for you."
It meant that his carefree days of hiding in the world would no longer be carefree, and would come with boundless danger!
Su Mo stood in the void, letting the wind and rain lash him.
"I understand!"
"All right!" Great Calamity
