Chapter 1172: Chapter 458: Landing on the Island
Tonight’s grand performance, in fact, has three actors.
Qi Sheng impersonates the Nameless Taoist, colluding with Mo Han’s two turncoats.
First, he had a fierce fight with Zhuo Qing, ’died’ on the ship.
This ship was originally doing errands for the Qi Family.
Consider it the vanguard of this journey.
At this moment, the ready-made handle was in front, Mo Han obviously wouldn’t ignore it.
Therefore, he would inevitably see this ’Taoist’s corpse’.
The human skin mask worn by Qi Sheng deliberately exposed a flaw at the corner of the cheek.
It was precisely to help Zhuo Qing coordinate from inside and outside, executing the deadly strike.
It was at this spot that Mo Han was slain on the spot.
Mo Han, as the Vice Alliance Hierarch of Nanhai Alliance,
with supreme martial arts, extraordinary indeed, it would never be easy to succeed without the two attacking together.
Only, he never dreamed that Zhuo Qing, upon whom he relied, would conspire with Qi Sheng.
Conspiring in a deceitful play to take his life.
Leading to his Divine Skill, entirely unable to be exhibited, unable to reverse fate.
After this plan succeeded, a way to escape must be found.
To go head-on was extremely difficult, even Qi Sheng, with extraordinary skill, would be gravely injured trying to escape without relying on his sect’s Absolute Skill.
If he were to expose the Absolute Skill of Taixu Temple, or be captured, it would further confirm the Qi Family’s betrayal.
While formulating this plan, Qi Sheng and Zhuo Qing found it most difficult at this point.
By that time, there was no room for them to devise a foolproof strategy.
In the end, they could only take the risk.
Qi Sheng was mentally prepared, even if it meant dying, he would never exhibit the sect’s Absolute Skill.
Moreover, if he dies, his corpse cannot be left to anyone.
Otherwise, it would be a great trouble for the Qi Family.
Unexpectedly, in the final hour, Su Mo and the others happened to appear near Nanhai Alliance’s big ship.
Seeing this, Zhuo Qing had a plan in mind.
While the two were ’sparring’ before, in fact, Zhuo Qing was familiarizing Qi Sheng with the layout of the ship.
They finally agreed on the spot where the coffin would be placed.
After killing Mo Han, they would use the coffin to execute the golden cicada shedding its skin.
Earlier, Zhuo Qing had inquired Su Mo, knowing they came to sea for a sea burial.
Qi Sheng just needed to leave with the coffin, once entering the water, and escaping from the coffin, from then on, he could roam the ocean, and no one would trace him.
Only Qi Sheng never expected that opening the coffin, he would find Elder Du’s corpse.
Even though Elder Du had disappeared for years, Qi Sheng would never forget this person’s face.
The corpse in the coffin, earlier conversations of Su Mo and Zhuo Qing, clearly couldn’t be trusted.
Yet at that moment, having drawn the bow, there was no turning back, and he could only let it be.
It was beyond his expectations that Su Mo noticed him.
Listening to Su Mo speak, Qi Sheng sighed with mixed feelings:
“Regarding your question, I can only say… Qi Family indeed has planted quite a few spies and Death Soldiers within Nanhai Alliance…
“However, I only learned tonight that Ning Ziheng might be one of our own.”
“…So you didn’t know either?”
“When opening the coffin, I was ready to make trouble.”
Qi Sheng lightly shook his head: “Zhuo Qing was even prepared for a desperate battle…
“But unexpectedly, Ning Ziheng turned a blind eye to me.
“It was only then I realized he might be someone arranged by the Master.
“However, for this matter, I must write a letter to the Master and personally ask, or I won’t be at ease.”
From tonight’s situation, Ning Ziheng indeed helped tremendously.
If not for his actions, the suspicion on Zhuo Qing would be enough for Nanhai Alliance to kill and then question.
Through Ning Ziheng’s intervention, it proved Zhuo Qing was not in league with this ’Nameless Taoist’.
Consider it somewhat alleviated.
Furthermore, most importantly, had Ning Ziheng raised the alarm, today’s operation would have been a complete failure.
If luck hadn’t been on their side, they might’ve been directly captured by Nanhai Alliance.
With the current situation, Ning Ziheng truly deserves immense credit.
However… Qi Shengxuan also has to guard against, it might be Ning Ziheng’s ploy to earn trust then bury them all in a pit.
If he wasn’t someone place by Qi Dingtian around Mo Han, then it’s urgent to let Zhuo Qing pack up and flee.
Otherwise, disaster would surely befall.
With these matters presented, Qi Sheng now indeed, as Su Mo said, doesn’t have extra energy for other matters.
Su Mo slightly nodded: “What the elder said is correct, cannot trust lightly.”
“Hmm…”
Qi Sheng was about to nod, but looked at Su Mo again:
“What’s with the elder and junior talk? Just call me uncle like Ziyi does, alright?”
“???”
Su Mo blinked, feeling like his seniority dropped a lot.
This noon, he was calling brother with Qi Shengxuan at the Qi Family, and this evening, he was relegated to the level of nephew.
He shook his head, about to say he and Wei Ziyi were clear and pure, without any relation… yet the words didn’t come out, swallowed back.
Recalling the recent instances of treating Wei Ziyi’s injuries, the words ’clear and pure’ just couldn’t be spoken.
Fortunately, Wei Ziyi asked at the moment:
“That question just now, what was your intention?”
“Oh…”
Su Mo smiled:
“I was thinking, since Burning Wood Armor is gone, what do you think of Haori Golden Blade instead?”
