Chapter 1886 - 689: Far Too Easy to Defeat (Part 3)

"Yet, there are those who treat you as mere playthings.

"Leading you to be confused and helpless.

"However... seeing you like this now, reminds me of myself on Imperial Court Mountain.

"These tactics, they look familiar."

Qu Zhongzhi laughed and then found he couldn’t laugh anymore.

Di Wu Jing was originally furious at his earlier words.

However, he couldn’t help but frown as he listened to the latter part:

"Familiar?

"What do you mean?"

"These are the tricks of Dongmen Yong!!"

Qu Zhongzhi suddenly said with a peculiar expression:

"This man is adept at deceit and plotting continuously, utilizing anybody and anything around him.

"Now that you’re being played with and spinning in circles, isn’t it precisely his means?

"You just said he died peacefully in his sleep?

"Ridiculous... How could a person like him die a good death?

"Haven’t you been deceived by him?"

"This is impossible..."

Upon hearing this, Di Wu Jing felt as if struck by thunder.

Qu Zhongzhi had inexplicably escaped from the dungeon, and quickly advanced in martial arts, learning Dongmen Yong’s Blossoms Four Sword.

These things, perhaps First Shock could have achieved.

Even in regard to the Blossoms Four Sword, it was unclear if First Shock mastered it.

But... if it were Dongmen Yong, this matter could also make sense.

Even if Qu Zhongzhi wished to seek revenge on Dongmen Yong.

Dongmen Yong seemed to have no reason to aid an enemy.

But the question is, does Qu Zhongzhi still have a chance to take revenge on Dongmen Yong?

The swordsmanship he learned, the Inner Strength he improved, were all used for himself.

With his skill, it would be a simple matter to poison the tea of everyone present, to sabotage First Shock and plot against everyone—

Could it truly be him?

Thinking of this, Di Wu Jing looked around, gritting his teeth and shouting:

"Old Third... are you really around?

"If it’s you, come out!!"

The surroundings were silent, and the entire scene stalled again.

Second Jing then looked at Di Wu Jing:

"Things must be stated one by one; first, tell me, what is going on with this so-called friend you brought back?

"How did you confirm there was a traitor within the Jinglong Association?"

"I..."

Di Wu Jing felt deeply confused, wishing he cultivated the Sitting Forget Jade Heart Scripture of the Fourth Scripture.

It would be best to Forget everything.

He shook his head in confusion:

"I don’t know... but I just know, there’s a traitor within the Jinglong Association.

"I... I investigated extensively, looked for details, and everything supported this...

"But, I can’t recall what I investigated or what details I found?"

"... Old fifth seems to have been plotted against."

First Shock took a deep breath:

"Your friend, who exactly is he?"

"He... he is Wu Daoyou."

Di Wu Jing quickly said:

"Yes, Wu Daoyou has exceptional talents, no lesser than the Old Third.

"If today’s predicament were truly orchestrated by Old Third, having Wu Daoyou involved might still leave room for maneuver.

"We... we..."

He paused here, wanting to say more.

But the following words wouldn’t come out.

He wasn’t foolish, but caught in the situation, marked by the Soul Loss Potion, he believed Su Mo’s idle nonsense implicitly.

Yet, regardless of this steadfast belief,

when probing for details, it’s always a blank.

Just now, when he spoke, he instinctively thought Wu Daoyou could help him resolve everything.

But the problem is, the talk of a traitor is rootless and floating.

Can Wu Daoyou truly be trusted?

And pondering this, he heard Second Jing’s voice beside him:

"Wu Daoyou... Wu Daoyou!?

"Jianghu Alliance Hierarch Su Mo, when masquerading as a little young master of Shunfeng Escort Agency, used the alias Wu Daoyou.

"Old fifth... you, you actually brought him back to deep in the clouds!?!"

"Su Mo!!?"

Di Wu Jing’s eyes widened suddenly, and the next moment, he felt as if there was a thunderous boom in his mind.

It was as if thunder exploded within.

Shadows flickered like fleeting images.

A coffin that couldn’t be opened was broken open with his Inner Strength.

A purple and a white handprint solidly landed on his chest.

That young man approached step by step, taking out a packet of medicine.

Jiang Lan’s child’s urine... such a sinister plot!

"Ah ah!!!"

Di Wu Jing clutched his head, his face full of painful and struggling ferocity:

"Su Mo... Su Mo... he’s in deep in the clouds!!

"I’m poisoned by him!!!

"He indeed is Wu Daoyou!

"In my Jinglong Association, there are no traitors!!!"

Saying this, he suddenly spat a mouthful of blood.

But after spitting this blood, he suddenly felt much clearer in his mind.

Ultimately, he only took the Soul Loss Potion twice, and now, with all these signs before him, it counteracted its effect.

At this moment, continuous wind-breaking sounds came from outside the door.

One by one, disciples of the Jinglong Association arrived swiftly.

Second Jing shouted loudly:

"Today’s change among the disciples was mostly orchestrated by this person.

"But now that the disciples are gathered, there’s still a chance.

"All disciples heed my command, follow me to apprehend this person!!!"

Amid the Nine Sounds of Dragon Shock, the disciples arrived at the Hualong Hall, unaware of what happened, hearing Second Jing’s words.

Immediately, they hesitated not, and responded.

Just then, First Shock’s voice sounded:

"Who’s there?"

As the words were said, a bang was heard.

A figure fell through the curtain, landing harshly into the Hualong Hall.

This person, dressed in brocade, looked in his thirties, with a handsome yet effeminate face.

At this moment, looking incredulously toward the curtain, pointing with his hand:

"You are... Su Mo!?"

Saying this, he flipped over and collapsed.

"First Shock!!"

Second Jing, Fourth Shock, and Di Wu Jing hurriedly rushed up.

Only to find, First Shock was already dead.

Turning around again, they saw a man and a woman standing where First Shock had been.

The man looked at his hand, somewhat surprised:

"So he’s dead?

"First Shock falls too easily, doesn’t he?"
