Chapter 1173: Chapter 458: Landing on the Island (Part 2)
“??”
Wei Ziyi’s eyes widened immediately.
“What do you mean?”
Qi Shengdao felt a bit confused, as if these two young people each said a sentence and seemed to understand everything, while he himself was left out?
What does this have to do with the Haori Golden Blade?
Su Mo glanced at Wei Ziyi, and seeing her nod slightly, he said:
“To be honest, this time, besides bringing her to recognize her kin, I’m also here to seek help from the Qi Family.”
“Help?”
Qi Shengdao quickly looked at Wei Ziyi.
Su Mo then briefly explained the situation.
Qi Shengdao’s veins bulged on his forehead:
“That Wei Qixiong, it’s not enough to harm his own brother, and now he even wants to harm my niece!?”
“Truly hateful!
“Unfortunately, I, as a Taoist, don’t have the means like using a Peach Wood Sword to burn yellow paper and catch ghosts.
“Otherwise, I would certainly descend to the Nine Netherworld and drag this villain’s soul up for a good torment.”
“…”
Su Mo thought that if this matter succeeded, the way things were headed might go astray.
He immediately waved his hand: “This matter is settled, saying more is useless.
“We also didn’t want the Qi Family to think that we are recognizing kin with ulterior motives.
“Therefore, this… Ziyi has been hesitant to reveal her identity to her grandfather.
“In fact, it’s also because she didn’t know how to broach the subject.”
“Silly child.”
Qi Shengdao’s face darkened: “Members of our family would never be so short-sighted. Such thinking underestimates our Qi Family.
“Not to mention just a piece of Burning Wood Armor, even if it were something more important, we would still be generous.
“And we wouldn’t have any other thoughts about you.
“It’s just… Unfortunately, this Burning Wood Armor was stolen by some thief a decade ago.
“Although I have my suspicions, this person’s whereabouts are elusive, known by name in the Jianghu but rarely seen.”
“May I ask who the elder suspects?”
Su Mo asked.
“… This person’s name is not known in the Jianghu and is only called Youchen Xiaoke.”
He said this while gently shaking his head: “Nephew, don’t dwell on this too much. I have been investigating for years and have yet to find this person. You came all the way from Donghuang and are even less likely to know this person’s whereabouts.”
“…”
“…”
Wei Ziyi and Su Mo looked at each other.
Qi Shengdao saw their strange expressions and couldn’t help but ask:
“What happened?”
“… To be honest, this Youchen Xiaoke is now in the Qi Family!”
Su Mo raised his eyebrows, completely surprised by the coincidence.
“How do you know?”
Qi Shengdao was dumbfounded, then erupted in anger:
“Is the thief here to steal from the Qi Family again?”
“It’s not that… It’s hard to explain the situation in just a few words.
“I will inform the elder later.
“But rest assured, even if he wants to steal now, he doesn’t have the ability.”
Su Mo found it both amusing and frustrating how everything returned to this person in circles.
However, speaking of it, he couldn’t help but glance at Qi Shengdao:
“Elder, how do you know this is the work of Youchen Xiaoke?”
“Actually, there’s no evidence… It’s just, when our Qi Family lost the Burning Wood Armor, it was said that he was near Tianqi Island.
“Although our Qi Family is not as heavily guarded as the Nanhai Alliance Headquarters, there’s no way an ordinary thief could sneak in and steal such a treasure.
“With these two clues, it’s natural that this person has the greatest suspicion.”
Su Mo nodded slightly: “So it’s uncertain…
“Before I captured Youchen Xiaoke, he didn’t have this treasure armor on him, otherwise he wouldn’t have ended up like this.
“It seems we can’t put all our hopes on this person…
“If we could get hold of the Haori Golden Blade, that would be foolproof.”
“…”
Qi Shengdao listened to him speak with such seriousness and didn’t know what expression to make.
The Haori Golden Blade is in the possession of the Nanhai Alliance Leader; it’s the foundation of the entire Nanhai Alliance.
It’s not something that’s easily obtained.
But now he understood why Su Mo asked if there were any Qi Family spies in the Nanhai Alliance:
“Are you trying to determine the Nanhai Alliance Leader’s whereabouts?”
Su Mo nodded slightly.
“This won’t be easy….”
Qi Shengdao frowned slightly: “Trying to find the Nanhai Alliance Leader is both easy and difficult.”
“Hmm?”
Su Mo looked at him:
“A substitute?”
“…”
Qi Shengdao was about to create some suspense, but Su Mo revealed it immediately, so he nodded directly:
“People like them, they always mix truth and lies.
“Especially the Nanhai Alliance Leader, who particularly likes to use this method.
“The true whereabouts are not easy to find.”
“Ultimately…
“A substitute alone cannot trouble the Qi Family.”
Su Mo spoke softly:
“For a major event like this, it’s possible that the person will oversee it personally…
“Moreover, have the people from the Dragon King Hall been in contact with the Qi Family?”
“Not yet.”
Qi Shengdao gave a firm answer.
Su Mo gently touched his chin, thoughts slowly arising in his mind.
The Nanhai Alliance’s plan to wipe out the Qi Family could deceive the whole world but not necessarily the Dragon King Hall.
Since the Dragon King Hall’s territory borders the Qi Family.
If the Qi Family leans towards the Dragon King Hall, the Nanhai Alliance would have lost with nothing to gain.
However, there’s a matter of timing and trust involved here.
Even the Dragon King Hall might suspect that this is a ploy between the Qi Family and the Nanhai Alliance, deliberately staged to lure them in…
