“There’s no time to spare, you better move fast!” Su Mo said, and then he pointed at a dozen others among the crowd, “You, you, and all of you, stay!”

Su Mo chose several people to stay behind. Among them were Mo Ye from the Ancient Demon Kingdom, Xing Wulan from Starlight Court, and about a dozen others.

Mo Ye, as a Demon, surely would defect to Prince Gu Mo. An untrustworthy man such as him surely should not be sent out.

“Follow me!” Gongsun Changjue said, and led them out of the Third City.

About eighty or so fighters followed him to engage battle with the Eighth City.

At the same time, Prince Gu Mo and his army had arrived at the Second City, and they were about to attack their moat formation.

“What?” When he saw Gongsun Changjue leading a group of people towards the Eighth City, Prince Gu Mo’s face suddenly changed.

He knew the Second and Third City might have formed an alliance, and he was ready to fight the Third City, but he had never expected the Third City to run straight to his Eighth City.

“Return!” Without hesitation, Prince Gu Mo said, taking his people back.

When Gongsun Changjue saw this, he advanced no further. Instead, he paused for a while, before leading his people back to the Third City.

“That’s good!” Su Mo watched everything from within the Third City and nodded. Without the Eighth City’s interference, the Fourth City would go down.

Of course, given no other city interfered as well.

He did not know what the First City, Fifth City, Sixth City, Seventh City, and Ninth City planned to do. They had not taken any action.

After Prince Gu Mo retreated, the ones in the Second City included Long Yu felt completely relieved and sped up their attack.

Gradually, the Fourth City weakened. Severely outmatched, a large number of fighters fled for their lives.

In no time at all, only a few were left in the Fourth City. Even Young Master Wu Ji was wounded.

Young Master Wu Ji was strong indeed due to his Cosmic Power. In fact, he was much stronger than Xing Wulan.

But he was outnumbered. Surrounded by enemies, the man was spitting blood.

Not far behind Su Mo, Xing Wulan witnessed Young Master Wu Ji’s tragic condition and took a deep breath, but he did not move to rescue him.

Because he could not do it on his own.

If he continued to stay in the Third City until the final moment, perhaps there would be a chance he could win.

Moments passed. The Fourth City was completely defeated. Although Young Master Wu Ji and the people fought with their lives, the formation of the city had been totally destroyed

The moment it crumbled, the entire Fourth City quickly fell apart and became nothing but ruins.

Everyone in the Fourth City found themselves encased by the formation that shrouded all ten city clusters. They were forcibly eliminated from the event.

Long Yu and Helan Shang did not stay out too long. They led the remaining fighters back to the Second City.

Next, all city clusters fell into peace. After the battle, many from the Second City were injured. They were taking a short break.

…

Outside Shenkun Small World, those of other powers had not left. Rather, they stayed on to observe whatever was happening in Shenkun Small World.

The Ghost Fog shrouded the sky. It formed a clear picture which happened to show the scenes in Shenkun Small World.

Other than that, they could see clearly what was happening in all the city clusters.

Those from Starlight Court did not like what they saw, because the Fourth City had been badly defeated. Even Young Master Wu Ji had been eliminated.

But they were not truly defeated yet, for they were still a few others from the Starlight Court in the Fight.

Things were not looking good for the Great Rotating Divine Hall, the Lightning Flame Supreme Being Palace, and the Paramount Palace too, because right at the beginning of the Thousand Selection Fight, Su Mo had chased them out of the Third City. He had even killed one of their people.

Di Yihun looked calm as he gazed quietly at the Ghost Fog above. Su Mo had been lucky.

In this Fight, he had convinced the Ancient Demon State, the Immortal Holy Court, the Nether God Court, the Sky Tyrant Court, and the the Starlight Court.

These five Courts were willing to capture or kill Su Mo during the Fight, but Su Mo had been quite lucky to be dispatched to the Third City.

Even though there were representatives from the five Courts in the Third City as well, they did not dare to attack at will.

For now, Su Mo had been clever, mainly because he had kept the secret of his presence in the Third City from other city clusters.

But Di Yihun was not in a hurry. Sooner or later news of Su Mo’s whereabouts would be revealed, and by then he would surely be targeted.

……

In the Third City, Su Mo and his people were discussing their next steps.

“Su Mo, I think next we should check out the First City, the Fifth City, the Sixth City, the Seventh City, and the Ninth City!” Mo Ye stared at Su Mo as he sais so. He did not want Su Mo to join forces with the Second City to attack the Eighth City.

“That makes sense!” Gongsun Changjue nodded and said, “The Eighth City is strong and only few can withstand Prince Gu Mo’s power. Our top priority is to find out how the other cities are faring.”

“That’s right!”

“We have to find out how they are doing!”

“There have been no movements in the other cities. We don’t know what they are planning in secret!”

Many spoke up, unanimously agreeing with Mo Ye. Acting rashly without understanding the situation could lead to dire consequences.

Su Mo took a moment to consider. He would have liked to have known where Long Teng and Ye Lingtian were. That would make things easier.

But, as he thought about it, if he wanted to know their whereabouts, he knew he ought to make an appearance himself.

As long as those two knew he was in the Third City, they would surely join him.

“There’s movement in the Fifth City!”

Someone spoke out of the blue. The rest got up to investigate.

Two figures flew out from the Fifth City, heading towards the Ninth City.

One of them was a Sky Tyrant while the other was a Demon, one that belonged to the Giant Bird Tribe.

They flew towards the Ninth City with great speed.

Obviously, the people of the Seventh City also wanted to know about the Ninth City, since all city clusters had launched their moat formation except that one.

Neither the naked eye nor the Holy Senses could tell what was happening, so the two would have to enter the Ninth City personally.

They were very careful as they approached the Ninth City and entered slowly.

At that moment, other city clusters were paying attention to the two of them. Everyone wanted to know what was going on in the Ninth City.

Very quickly, the two figures disappeared into the Ninth City in front of everyone.

They were like a couple of clay oxen going into the sea, never to return. Not a single wave could be seen.

It went on for a dozen breaths, but the two never came out.

“Weird!” Su Mo frowned. The two were not exactly weak. In fact, they were at the Eighth Grade. And they had been so careful. If they had been attacked, it should not have been impossible for them to escape.

Yet, the two people had vanished without a trace once they entered the Ninth City..
