The situation has come to this point and is already difficult to mend.
Just as Su Mo previously told Yang Xiaoyun, their visit this time was merely taking advantage of the situation.
The real intention was to meet Hua Qianyu in Tianyu City and exonerate themselves from this affair.
Even the gift that they repeatedly mentioned they wanted to give to Su Mo was carefully chosen to pay respect to Hua Qianyu.
It’s just that Su Mo acts fiercely, which is why they brought it up, intending to smooth things over.
If they can’t even get past the Ziyang Escort Agency, they wouldn’t have their lives to meet Hua Qianyu.
Thus, initially, they truly didn’t take Su Mo seriously, thinking how could a young man from Jianghu warrant such a solemn approach?
That’s also why, when Wang Xiong spoke up, although Feng Wuxiang appeared troubled, he let him act rashly.
In reality, it was under his orders; some things he couldn’t say himself, but isn’t it natural for his subordinates to speak?
They thought they could get away with the excuse of ’subordinates not knowing the rules,’ but to their surprise, Su Mo’s words directly forced Wang Xiong to kill a man.
The Sword Master hijacking the escort, Seven Extremes Hall was already in the wrong, and now with Wang Xiong trying to kill Su Mo at the Ziyang Escort Agency, Feng Wuxiang naturally can’t shirk his responsibility.
This time, Su Mo inviting them with three palm strikes is actually the best solution to the problem.
At least in the eyes of the remaining Five Great Weapon Masters of Seven Extremes Hall, it couldn’t be better.
It’s only because Su Mo’s martial arts are too formidable.
Killed Wang Xiong with one move, and in a backhand stroke made Feng Wuxiang spit blood and retreat.
If such a person truly harbored a killing intent, wanting to keep them all here wouldn’t take much effort.
And if Su Mo explicitly stated his desire to kill them all inside the Ziyang Escort Agency.
Then they could unite against a common foe, but now, they just need Feng Wuxiang to step forward and they could be safe and secure, why not?
However, this also showed that Seven Extremes Hall was truly rotten from top to bottom.
As long as they can preserve their lives, even the Great Hall Master can go to his death at any time.
Feng Wuxiang, just by looking at the states of these Five Great Weapon Masters, already knew that Su Mo’s method of striking at the heart by killing had taken effect.
He laughed miserably for a moment, "Very well, you... are really something!"
The Five Great Weapon Masters looked at each other, one sighed and said:
"Great Hall Master, Lord Su, the Chief of the Escort, just asks for three palm strikes. This matter, whether it’s you or us, it’s roughly the same. It’s just, we are of low status and do not have the qualifications to stand opposite Lord Su. So... this matter lies entirely on you, sir."
After speaking, he lowered his head, seemingly also with a hint of guilt.
Feng Wuxiang then looked towards the others: "Do you all feel the same?"
Several exchanged glances, then turned to Su Mo as one of them asked: "Does Lord Su, the Chief of the Escort, stand by his words? After three palms, are the grievances settled?"
Su Mo nodded slightly.
"In that case, we’d trouble the Great Hall Master to handle this."
"Correct, the misunderstanding between Seven Extremes Hall and Lord Su, the Chief of the Escort, is just that, a misunderstanding. Great Hall Master rest assured, Lord Su only wants to vent his anger and will definitely not be ruthless."
"Your esteemed self has divine martial skills, these three palm strikes are probably just like a breeze. But for us, that would mean a loss of life."
"Please, Great Hall Master handle this, our lives all depend on your actions."
One by one they made their statements clear, no matter what, Feng Wuxiang had to face Su Mo’s three palms today.
Feng Wuxiang raised his head and glanced at Su Mo, his eyes complex: "Lord Su, possessing supreme martial arts at such a young age, this disgraceful scene of Seven Extremes Hall is indeed laughable.
"Well then, failure to manage subordinates directly, Feng Wuxiang bears undeniable responsibility, today these three palm strikes should indeed be personally received by Feng Wuxiang. Please, Lord Su, make your move."
"Good, Master Feng truly lives up to being a senior figure in Jianghu, I admired your responsibility. As such, let’s make it one palm. One palm to resolve our resentment. If we meet again in Jianghu, we shall still be friends."
Su Mo laughed heartily, pivoted his steps, and in an instant, was next to Feng Wuxiang: "Senior, be careful!!"
As his words fell, a palm strike surged forth.
With the prior experience of that palm strike, where could Feng Wuxiang dare to neglect it?
He immediately mustered his palms to meet the attack.
A dull thud, Feng Wuxiang staggered, with blood flowing from the corner of his mouth.
He suddenly looked up, but his eyes could not hide his joy; he struggled to smile: "Thank you Lord Su, the Chief of the Escort, for showing mercy!!"
"The grievances have ended, Master Feng, please return."
Su Mo turned back and sat down in his main seat.
The Five Great Weapon Masters then rushed to Feng Wuxiang’s side, some checked his pulse, some supported his back, showing great concern for Feng Wuxiang.
Feng Wuxiang waved them aside, letting them step back, then spoke: "Since this is the case, Feng Wuxiang bids farewell, this gift, please accept it Lord Su, the Chief of the Escort."
"Master Feng is too kind; this item probably shouldn’t be used here. Since the grievances are settled, I have no reason to accept the gift."
Su Mo waved his hand, signaling the end of the visit.
"Then, Feng Wuxiang bids farewell."
With that said, it was all said. Feng Wuxiang turned and left.
The Five Great Weapon Masters looked at each other, looking troubled at Feng Wuxiang’s retreating figure, then glanced at Su Mo, their mouths twitching.
