After Su Mo heard these people’s promises, he left without stopping.

“What should we do now, Big Brother?” A person asked as he walked to the leader’s side.

“There’s only one thing we can do. We don’t have any more resources, so we can only disband,” the leader of the Black Blade Clan said.

“B-But did our senior brethren and master die in vain?” Someone said unwillingly.

“Don’t worry. I will make sure that our brethren did not die in vain. I will go to the Cerulean Ocean Blade Clan and tell them that there are still survivors of the Crimson Heart Clan. I believe that this person cannot defeat the Cerulean Ocean Blades.”

…

Su Mo didn’t know what the remaining disciples of the Black Blade Clan talked about after he left. He had almost returned to his village.

“So this is what it feels like to fly on a blade.”

Su Mo felt a little happy. He had watched people flying around on a blade in television shows and movies in his previous life. Su Mo always thought that those people were amazing. But now, he could finally do it for himself.

Su Mo accelerated brazenly along the way and finally returned to the village when the sky had just turned dark. But at this moment, he suddenly had the feeling that something was wrong.

So he rushed to the grand library in a flash.

“Who are you?” Su Mo looked at the young man in front of him in shock.

“Oh no, I’ve been discovered!” The young man immediately wanted to run when he saw Su Mo. But how would he outrun Su Mo, who had obtained a mantra that contained the fastest technique in the world?

Su Mo swiftly intercepted the young man who attempted to escape.

“Please, sir, I didn’t mean to intrude. Please let me go!” When the young man realized that he couldn’t get away, he immediately began to beg for mercy.

Su Mo remained silent and stared at the young man in front of him. The young man’s eyes were shifty, and he was short. One could tell that this man was not a good person with just a look.

But Su Mo was curious. He wondered how this person could pass through the defense formations undetected and enter the grand library.

“How did you get in?” Su Mo asked indifferently.

“Would you believe me if I said that I got lost?” The young man looked around frantically.

“So, you refuse to tell the truth, eh?” Su Mo saw that this young man was stubborn, so he no longer held back.

Su Mo stretched out his hand and proceeded to attack the young man. However, it was strange that the young man could evade Su Mo’s attack even if the young man was weak and not as swift as Su Mo.

When Su Mo noticed this, he decided to use his killing blow.

When the young man saw that Su Mo was starting to get serious, he sensed a hint of danger. He knew that he could not evade this attack and that this move would undoubtedly take his life.

“Please, sir! I know that I’ve made a grave mistake. I will tell you everything that I know,” the young man yelled as he quickly admitted defeat.

When Su Mo saw that the young man had admitted defeat, he walked to the man’s side and lightly patted him on the shoulder.

That young man felt as if something had entered his body, and then he became numb.

“W-What did you do to me?” The young man hurriedly asked.

“It’s just a little spell! In case you decide to play any more tricks,” Su Mo said as he chuckled.

This was one of the system rewards, the Mana Restriction Spell. If the person this spell is cast on exits a specific range, it would cause that person’s mana to become erratic and make that person go berserk.

“You’re such a cautious person.”

The young man initially intended to escape when Su Mo let his guard down, but he did not expect Su Mo to be so cunning and cast such a spell on him.

“You only need to answer my questions honestly. What is your name, where are you from, and why are you here?”Su Mo asked

“My name is Shi Yunshan, and I am from a place outside of the floating island. When I first arrived at the island, I noticed that there were magnificent structures here, emitting an extraordinary aura, so I came to investigate it for myself.”

“I then decided to walk around the Crimson Heart Village, but I found that there were no treasures, so I thought to leave. As I was leaving, I felt that there was something that I needed to see in the grand library, so I came in.”

“I found this book and chose to read it for a while, and then I seemed to have made a breakthrough into a small cultivating realm, so I became addicted to this book.”

Su Mo looked at the book in front of him with some surprise. He initially thought that the grand library was empty. He never expected any books to be inside. He blamed himself for not taking a closer look at the grand library.

Shi Yunshan held a manual that once belonged to a Soul Formation Realm powerhouse. The book was called the God of Thieves Manual.

“Oh, so you’re also a professional thief,” Su Mo said somewhat inquisitively.

“N-No, not really. I’ve only just started reading,” Shi Yunshan said somewhat embarrassedly.

“So you were able to come in here because of your cultivation?” Su Mo asked.

“Yes. I once learned a technique that allowed me to elude some defense formations, which is why I was able to enter the village. However, it is a pity that the method I used is incomplete. Otherwise, I would’ve been able to escape,” Shi Yunshan replied truthfully.

Si Yunshan knew that he had no other choice but, to be honest because his life was not in the hands of another.

Su Mo fell into deep thought when he heard this. He had seen Shi Yunshan’s technique just now and noticed that it could be related to the nine mantras.

Su Mo theorized that Shi Yunshan must’ve seen this mantra in the book he was reading and used its technique based on his insight.

Nonetheless, Shi Yunshan seemed to be a genius as well. He should be around the same age as Su Mo, yet he was already a cultivator of the Meridian Formation Realm.

‘This young man is not inferior to Hei Lie. He must be a genius. Seeing as I am the only one left in the Crimson Heart Village, it would only seem right to start recruiting some new members.’

Su Mo was the clan master, after all. He knew that he had a reputation to uphold, so he needed to make Shi Yunshan beg to let him stay.

“Forget it. Since you haven’t caused any harm to the village, I’ll allow you to leave. But it’s already dark. You can rest here for the night and leave tomorrow morning.”

After saying this, Su Mo patted Shi Yunshan’s shoulder and removed the mana restriction spell.

“What do you mean by that?” Shi Yunshan did not understand what Su Mo meant.

“I just came back from killing a lot of people just now. I’ve had enough killing for today. What? Do you want to be killed as well?” Su Mo said as he was about to turn around and leave.

“N-No, sir!” Shi Yunshan quickly replied.

Su Mo ignored him and left the grand library.

Shi Yunshan, on the other hand, looked as if he had just dodged a major bullet. It had been a while since he got discovered by Su Mo, but this was the first time he was so close to death.

Shi Yunshan was a person who possessed a strong mentality. After a while, he found the God of Thieves Manual and continued to read it. Shi Yunshan trusted that Su Mo would keep his promise, so he did not worry.

He had to cherish the time he had in this place, or else he would not have another chance in the future. It was not that Shi Yunshan did not desire to steal the book. He only felt that he could not get away with it even if he tried.

Su Mo observed Shi Yunshan in secret and could not help but chuckle, “Let’s see what happens once you’ve become addicted to reading all these books.”

“Invincible Demon Clan System, put all the books related to the Thief Clan in a more conspicuous area of the library,” Su Mo gave the order to the system.

Su Mo knew that there were Soul Formation Realm cultivation methods and secret manuals in the grand library, but they did not suit Su Mo’s current needs. Those books and manuals were only there for his future disciples.

Of course, Su Mo did not need them either..
