Chapter 642: Chapter 281: Coming in Droves_3
“Or perhaps, are you planning to use this as an opportunity to destroy his mind, ruin his reputation, and cause the entire Tianxia martial jianghu to rise against him?”
“This method is also feasible.”
The man shook his head lightly: “However, is the Vice Hall Master’s method only limited to this?”
“This poison… heh, while it is not deadly, it certainly won’t make life comfortable.
“As for the details, please forgive me, I cannot disclose them.
“You just need to know that after this incident, Su Mo will be completely under our control.
“You can take the Xinghai Relic Sand Iron; we will not obstruct you at all. Whether you return to the Western Border Wangxuan Mountain or venture into the dragon’s sea, we will respect your wishes.
“Today… I am here, just waiting for the word from the Mountain Master.
“Do you want to proceed with this matter?”
The Mountain Master appeared hesitant for a moment.
Considering an agreement with the tiger, one must think of all aspects.
If he went through with it, there would undoubtedly be bad blood with Su Mo. If what the other party claimed was true, there might still be room to maneuver.
However, if any of their words were false, the whole of Wangxuan Mountain might perish.
But… if he did not act, he could only return to Wangxuan Mountain humbly.
That would also offend Wusheng Hall.
The future circumstances would surely become a hundred times more difficult.
His fingers gently rubbed on the armrest of the chair, preparing to look up at those present to see how they would decide.
At this moment, Su Mo, who was on the rooftop, turned his gaze towards the distance.
Amid the darkness, he saw a faint green light flickering under the night sky.
It suddenly came close.
Only then did Su Mo see clearly that it was a sedan.
The four bearers had pale faces, yet all wore broad smiles, as if in celebration.
The lights were four lanterns burning with ghostly green flames, hanging on the sedan poles, swinging uncertainly.
Despite being a big red wedding sedan, it eerily emitted a ghostly aura.
As the sedan arrived just outside Tihu Village, it quietly stopped.
With the curtain fluttering, a figure flew out.
The movement appeared quite urgent; after landing, they seemed about to dash towards the distance but then stopped as if remembering something.
They turned back and greeted the big red sedan with a bow.
Su Mo and Yang Xiaoyun were taken aback upon seeing this.
They both saw clearly that the person emerging from the sedan was none other than…
Previously in Jinyang City, Xu Lu had separated from Su Mo and the others.
Holding the Hidden Killing Order, he went to seek out people from Hidden Killing Building for an assignment.
Now, whether that assignment was set or not was still unknown, but how did he become involved with this mysterious and obviously not friendly big red sedan?
Su Mo and Yang Xiaoyun exchanged glances, seeing Xu Lu parting ways with the big red sedan.
Xu Lu headed in another direction, while the big red sedan, carrying its ghostly fire, moved towards Tihu Village.
For now, Su Mo could not figure out the mystery involved and had no choice but to continue watching.
This big red sedan was quite ostentatious; with the lights hanging, it had reached the gates of the compound in the blink of an eye, with a very clear purpose.
As they approached, the guards around the yard had already noticed them.
But before they could speak, the sedan bearers suddenly exerted force, their forms dramatically changing, showing profound skill.
By the time everyone snapped back to reality, the sedan had already entered the yard.
At this moment, the Mountain Master had just nodded in agreement:
After discussing with everyone present, he still decided to cooperate with these people from Wusheng Hall.
Jianghu is inherently a place where one licks the blade and gambles with life for a future.
If one dares not act because the opponent’s martial arts are superior, why bother lingering in Jianghu?
Returning home to farm might even grant one a peaceful death.
If this matter succeeds, with such immense benefits, would one still worry about wealth and honor in the second half of life?
However, just as they had reached an agreement and before they could further elaborate, an uninvited guest had already arrived.
Almost simultaneously, everyone inside the hall turned their heads to look towards the entrance:
As soon as these words dropped, several swishing sounds were heard, and all the lanterns inside and outside the courtyard suddenly changed.
The normal firelight turned into eerie green ghostly flames.
Flickering, the entire house was lit up as if by specters of the human world.
A playful laugh suddenly came from that sedan chair:
“A bunch of demons and ghosts, yet discussing plots of ambush under the lights of the human world.
“What sort of righteousness are you all pretending to uphold?”
“Pretending to be a god… and who might you be?”
One person stood up, his face filled with anger, and looked at the big red sedan chair.
“Chang Shixin… your name has already been recorded in the Book of Life and Death, yet you dare make such noise here?
“Don’t stir the ghostly envoys, lest they catch you effortlessly.”
The Mountain Master was startled, he was not unfamiliar with this name.
This person was the Sect Leader of the Divine Leg Sect within the domain of Wusheng Hall.
It was said that his Footwork was fierce and powerful, having broken free from the limits of his Sect, thus he was quite renowned; but who would have expected him to be present right now?
With this, the words spoken by that man just now became slightly more credible.
However, this situation could not bring him joy now.
He had hoped that if tonight the matter with the Heart Demon went smoothly, then everything would surely be calm.
Afterwards, obtaining the Xinghai Relic Sand Iron would just be a matter of lifting a hand.
Yet, unexpectedly, not only did the people from Wusheng Hall unexpectedly intervene, now there was additionally a big red sedan engaging in pretending to be divine.
If this commotion continued, and if Su Mo heard the noise and came investigating…
Would he not be doomed?
As thoughts flickered in his mind, he suddenly gestured while others were too distracted to notice.
Immediately, a man behind him turned and left, none other than the one who claimed to be Qi Dashan.
Heart Demon originally wanted to follow, but was given a stern look by the Mountain Master, so he had to stay.
Then, they heard Chang Shixin suddenly burst into laughter:
“Book of Life and Death? Seems like the pretenders from Yin Mountain are involved, I’ve always heard that the people of Yin Mountain have extraordinary means, today is a good day to witness it.”
As his words ended, his figure flickered and he was already at the front of the sedan.
While still in mid-air, he launched a kick, and his leg shadows heavily shifted, truly extraordinary.
Laughing sounds came from the mouths of the sedan bearers; followed by two white-faced bearers flying forward. With only a palm stretch, they penetrated through the dense leg shadows and grabbed Chang Shixin’s ankles.
Yet Chang Shixin coldly chuckled, willingly split his legs, and suddenly executed a thousand jin drop from mid-air.
With two loud bangs, the two bearers fell to the ground, but still giggled; their bodies twisted generating multiple shadows, and the two bearers unexpectedly separated and moved in different directions.
Bloodlight followed the sound of tearing silk, and shockingly they forcibly tore Chang Shixin into two halves!
