Novel Full Chapter 1466 - 554: Su Mo’s Scheme_3
It was evident that the methods were extraordinary.
If this gourd of medicine was made by her, and it contained a potent poison to control these people’s lives, it would naturally be effortless!
Turning back to look at the people around him, he couldn’t help but sigh in his heart.
They were captured by Dark Dragon Hall, tortured brutally, and suffered both physically and mentally.
Under such circumstances, many would not only be unable to provide assistance but might even become burdens.
The swift action just now relied on sheer willpower.
Now, quite a few could hardly stand.
After pondering for a while, Jiang Lan took a deep breath and handed out the wine gourd:
“Inside is a healing elixir; each person should take only a small sip, don’t be greedy.”
The crowd looked at each other and laughed heartily.
“Master Jiang has indeed planned everything perfectly.
“Aware of our severe injuries, he even prepared healing elixirs.”
“With this, under Master Jiang’s guidance, reclaiming Cui Xin Temple isn’t impossible.”
“Quick, quick, everyone take a small sip and heal; don’t waste Master Jiang’s good intentions.”
Jiang Lan’s face alternated between green and white.
He thought to himself, this wasn’t his intention; it was all Su Mo’s scheme!
Yet, knowing this was a trap, he had no choice but to follow along.
With that thought, he couldn’t help but sigh repeatedly.
He turned to look outside, listening to the sounds of battle, wondering where Su Mo was now…
Su Mo was in the mountain cave!
This mountain cave wasn’t easy to find.
Su Mo also spent some effort before finding the way.
As soon as he arrived, someone stopped him:
“Who goes there?”
“Dark Dragon Hall disciple, ordered to meet the master here.”
Su Mo spoke softly.
The person across showed a hint of surprise, pondered for a moment, then nodded:
“Please follow me, sir.”
“Thank you.”
The guide led Su Mo into the cave; along the way, the inside didn’t seem crowded.
All amenities were present.
After a rough scan, Su Mo noticed several Order Receivers.
The deeper he went, the higher the status of the people staying there.
They wore armor, clearly ready for action at any time.
Moments later, the guide stopped:
“Please wait here, sir, I’ll report to you.”
“Much obliged.”
Su Mo nodded slightly.
The guide paused, nodded slightly, and stepped further into the cave.
Su Mo didn’t just stand there idly; as the guide moved further in, he followed closely without a trace.
He found that inside the cave, there were no side rooms or chambers.
Instead, a winding passageway led inward, guarded on both sides by Li Sect Disciples.
As the guide moved forward, he whispered:
“If any Dark Dragon Hall disciple barges in, kill without mercy!”
Su Mo felt a bit helpless seeing this.
It seemed he had given himself away somewhere unknowingly.
It was clear that disguising himself with mere clothing wasn’t enough to fool them.
But he wasn’t too concerned.
His Wind God Step was swift and subtle, trailing behind the guide.
The remaining Dragon King Hall’s Li Clan disciples were on high alert.
However, after a while, the expected Dark Dragon Hall disciple didn’t show up.
They looked at each other, uncertain.
They hesitated whether to send someone to check ahead.
But they feared it might alarm the other party.
After much deliberation, they decided to send someone with a cup of tea as an excuse… though awkward, it served as a reason.
However, when the person approached, they realized there was no Dark Dragon Hall disciple.
By then, Su Mo had found the true lead.
Deep within the cave, in a hidden chamber.
The guide who led Su Mo stepped inside.
Inside, there were two others, who upon seeing him, were surprised:
“Wang Shuai? Weren’t you outside for a stroll? What brings you here?”
“The Dark Dragon Hall is making moves…”
Wang Shuai exhaled:
“The Hall Master… might have arrived.”
With those words, the three of them fell into silence simultaneously.
The Dragon King Hall’s Eight Sects Li Clan disciples were stationed here.
Besides the absent Li Clan leader, there were still three Commanders who held overall control.
The Eight Sects wielded great power.
With one main ship, a hundred elite large ships, and a thousand warships as support.
Even speaking modestly, with a hundred men per ship, one could imagine the number of disciples in one sect.
The Eight Demonic Punishment Orders united the Eight Sects, unstoppable wherever they went.
Now, the Li Clan’s three Commanders led thirty elite large ships and three hundred warships here.
The plan was to wait for Su Mo to fall into their trap.
But currently, the words “the Hall Master might be coming” sent the three Commanders into a contemplative silence.
After a long pause, Wang Shuai looked up at the other two Commanders:
“Old Gu, Old Fang, what should we do?”
This question was a bit redundant.
Logically, they should obey the Li Clan leader’s orders.
As soon as Su Mo arrived, they should trap and kill him.
Even at great cost, he must be kept here.
“On one side is the Li Clan leader’s Leave Order…
“On the other, the new Hall Master of the Dragon King Hall.”
The one called Old Gu exhaled: “We know whom to follow without saying much.
“The Eight Sects honor orders rather than people… However, does our loyalty only extend to a Token?
“The Dragon King Hall is shaky; hearts within the Eight Sects are restless.
“With a new Hall Master ascending, if we were to kill him, would the Dragon King Hall still remain the Dragon King Hall?”
“So… it means betraying the Clan leader?”
Wang Shuai spoke softly.
“He betrayed the Dragon King Hall!!”
Old Gu shouted coldly.
“Alright then!”
Wang Shuai nodded immediately:
“So, kill the Dark Dragon Hall emissary, lead the subordinates, and defect to the Hall Master!
“However… will the Hall Master trust us?”
“I don’t know, but with our lives at stake, we hope to earn his trust.
“If he accepts us, over time, he will know our loyalty to the Dragon King Hall!”
Old Gu said, standing up and moving to Wang Shuai:
“Let’s go.”
Just as they turned to leave, both were suddenly shocked.
They spun around, only to find two palms already at their front.
There’s no time to think, and each sent out a palm, spitting fresh blood, stumbling back, and looking at their palms to find them blackened.
In shock, they looked at Old Fang who had struck:
“[Yin Wind Palm]! Fang Rui… you!?”
