Chapter 1868: Chapter 683: Deep in the Clouds (Part 3)

“Now is a time of turmoil, first with the sudden rise of the Jianghu Alliance, and this Su Mo… heh, truly despicable.

“Fortunately, the third one has already devised a countermeasure, having trapped him already, he is not worth worrying about.

“However, the Imperial Dao from Beichuan has also arrived in Xizhou…

“Clearly intending to take advantage of the chaos between the Jinglong Association and the Jianghu Alliance, to seize my foundation.

“This group of people have the ambitions of wolves, though they call themselves loyal ministers, they actually… you know, the Taoist Master himself wants to become the Emperor.

“Now within the Jinglong Association, there is also a traitor.

“To put it plainly… truly it is to face enemies both front and rear, with internal and external troubles.

“This time, it’s all up to Brother Wu.”

“Rest assured, elder brother…”

Su Mo casually asked:

“But, how did this Alliance Leader Su get trapped?”

“This…”

The Fifth Jing hesitated a bit, then laughed heartily:

“To be honest, I don’t know either, elder brother.”

“Hm?”

Su Mo looked at the Fifth Jing, his expression a bit stunned.

“This is not an empty statement.”

The Fifth Jing said repeatedly:

“The third one always does things mysteriously and cryptically.

“Until the critical moment, he never reveals his purposes.

“Since childhood, this person has been erudite, knowledgeable in astronomy above and geography below, proficient in deducing fate, observing stars at night to know the world.

“Heaven, earth, the four corners, every principle, are all in this person’s mind.

“Over the decades, if not for him staying in Donghuang, dedicated to plotting major affairs in our Jinglong Association… the Jinglong Association might not be what it is today.

“Now he says this Su Mo is not worth worrying about, then Su Mo must not be worth worrying about.”

“…”

What is this?

Blind admiration?

If Dongmen Yong, the old man, digs a pit to bury all of you with me, you’d probably still think that scoundrel would leave a rope for you to crawl out with?

Su Mo found that he had underestimated Dongmen Yong’s image in the eyes of these Jinglong Association people.

And Jiang Lan on the side, watching these two converse happily, as if they had truly known each other for years.

Suddenly a chill surged from the tailbone straight to the top of the head.

What did Su Mo give the Fifth Jing?

How did he forcibly change Fifth Jing’s perception of everything around him?

He actually really believes him to be whatever Brother Wu?

Su Mo had just admitted his identity.

How come now… it’s like the things that happened just now never existed?

He suddenly realized he’d underestimated this Su Mo.

This person’s means are not just limited to martial arts.

He also warily recalled, wondering if during the time he was caught by Su Mo, he hadn’t consumed such a thing.

Whether in his mind, some perceptions were forcibly altered by him?

But now, he dared not say a single word.

Originally thought that when Su Mo came to this deep in the clouds, if nothing else, he would definitely kill quite a bit.

But now… it seems he has different choices.

And at this moment, he heard Su Mo say:

“Speaking of the Longmen Sect Third Jing, I’ve long heard of him.

“It’s just a pity, since I entered Jianghu, he was no longer in Xizhou.

“Only in recent years did he return… but I’ve yet to meet him.

“I wonder if elder brother can find an opportunity to introduce us?”

The Fifth Jing laughed heartily:

“That’s a small matter, by then I’ll take you to drink with the third one.”

“Alright.”

Su Mo smiled slightly, hidden murderous intent in his eyes.

Using the Soul Loss Potion against the Fifth Jing, mainly to smoothly enter the deep cloud unknown.

Also needing to slightly conceal identity, not to expose easily.

He wanted to do some maneuvering in this deep cloud unknown.

Strive so that after his identity is revealed, not a single living person is left.

The method is quite simple…

On the island of Cui Xin Temple at the time, the Water Soul Formation was perfectly fit to use.

Moreover, he wouldn’t even need to set it up himself, just have the Fifth Jing run errands would suffice.

The date has already been chosen.

June 15, a gathering of all shocks.

To take them out in one fell swoop.

But there’s one more thing… that’s Dongmen Yong.

No matter what, this person must be thoroughly dealt with in person to be at ease.

Along the way inside, the Fifth Jing explained this deep cloud unknown to Su Mo as they walked.

Even the Fifth Jing doesn’t know exactly where this place is.

Across the entire Jinglong Association, probably only the person who founded this deep cloud place is aware of what it truly is.

Even the contemporary First Shock isn’t clear on the truth of this place.

Because when entering and exiting, he too must ride in a coffin.

This is a rule passed down from ancestors.

Though the cloud-deep unknown is shrouded in mist everywhere, it is not so dark that you can’t see your hand in front of your face.

Critical areas have obstacles, not to be entered rashly.

This is firstly to avoid danger, beneath the mist could be a thousand-foot cliff, or a deep ravine pit.

Of course, there are also some forbidden areas.

Walking here requires following the sound of bells.

Directions in the distance cannot be discerned, but there are wind chimes in various places.

This area has accumulated mist for years, so the wind is scarce, otherwise, it would’ve scattered long ago.

So the wind chime sound, though present, isn’t noisy.

It serves perfectly as a guide.

And most crucially, are the hidden masters in this mist.

Aside from where their coffins land, no barriers are set throughout the deep cloud unknown.

But all the masters are hidden in the depths of the mist.

Should there be any disturbance, they will descend from the mist to attack.

Jinglong Association disciples joke, no one knows how much money the Second Jing’s box truly hides, and definitely no one knows how many people are hidden in the depths of this deep cloud unknown’s mist.

The Fifth Jing told Su Mo, besides those stationed in various branches, all elite masters trained by the Jinglong Association are in the deep cloud unknown.

Roughly estimating, at least tens of thousands strong.

This number isn’t considered many, but they value quality over quantity.

This group forged the entire deep cloud unknown like an iron barrel, and not to mention, no one in the world can find the way to the deep cloud unknown.

Even if someone breaks in, with these people present, the intruder won’t escape easily!

Su Mo nodded as he started setting up the Water Soul Formation around him.

ps: Today, just one update, brothers, it’s the end of the month, it’s unexpected to slack off, but… at seven last night, my grandmother passed away.

The elder was 103 years old, considered a joyful passing.

I’m the youngest of my generation, was always the most doted upon since childhood.

Due to the special circumstance, my parents didn’t let me go back to take a last look.

In my heart, it truly doesn’t feel right…
