Chapter 447: Chapter 217 Pure Yang Mansion
“Chi Mei Wang Liang… the ninth day of the ninth lunar month?”
Su Mo’s eyebrows gently raised.
Just now, when he and Wei Ziyi were looking at these notes here, he happened to flip to this part by chance.
However, the moment he saw that Snake Head Sword, he quickly pushed the writing away and changed the topic with Wei Ziyi.
Although he inevitably had to mention some of their personal trivial matters, it was still better than letting Wei Ziyi know about the Snake Head Sword.
Even though he intended to use the power of the Phoenix Alliance, it was nowhere near the right time to let Wei Ziyi know about this.
But now, looking at this sentence, Su Mo felt somewhat confused.
“Chi Mei Wang Liang… what does it refer to?
“What happened on the ninth day of the ninth lunar month?
“This note was written before Su Tianyang’s accident; whatever was supposed to happen on that day should have already ended.
“Is the half piece of the Snake Head Sword under the cellar inside the room from that event?”
He leaned his body back against the chair and lightly tapped the table with his fingers twice.
Yet in the end, he shook his head: “This really is an old riddle; just by relying on Chi Mei Wang Liang and the ninth day of the ninth lunar month… what can be inferred? A location and a date?
“Location… a location?”
Su Mo suddenly paused, “Chi Mei Wang Liang… Chimei Forest?”
This place is within the territory of the Youquan Sect.
The Youquan Sect had extended their influence to the Southwest, trying to sweep over the powers there, but ended up with a loss instead of a gain. As a result, Su Mo cut off the arm that they had extended towards the Southwest.
Taking advantage of the situation, the sects of the Righteous Path directly pushed the influence of the Youquan Sect and the Three Flag Order out of the Chimei Forest, capturing the territories of Qingxiu Mountain and Rain Cold Valley.
This information was from a man in the Jiaolong Association Water Fort, who was called the Qingshe Alliance Leader but in fact was a Three Extremes Disciple.
It was now confirmed that this news was true; since Su Mo had moved to Dongcheng, he would occasionally hear people discuss these matters.
But… is the Chi Mei Wang Liang mentioned in this text really the Chimei Forest?
What kind of domain is Chimei Forest?
He exhaled softly, deciding to not dwell on it for now.
He would ask Duan Song about it tomorrow.
But after getting up to leave, hesitating for a moment, he tore the last page from that section of notes and carefully kept it inside his sleeve.
After going through the notes again to ensure no other clues were missed, he then hid them back under the bookshelf.
…
…
There were no further discussions that night.
The next morning, bright and early, Duan Song arrived in the courtyard.
“Xiao Mo, are you awake?”
Upon entering the courtyard, he called out.
Su Mo and Wei Ziyi came out from their rooms and upon seeing him, they exchanged a glance subconsciously. Wei Ziyi pouted her lips, while Su Mo gave a smile:
“Master Duan, we’ve been up for quite a while, actually thinking about visiting Grandmaster.”
“Good, come with me,” Duan Song said.
Duan Song glanced at Wei Ziyi, still presenting a forthright demeanor, but with a faint trace of guilt in the depths of his eyes.
Under normal circumstances, Wei Ziyi would have had a hard time noticing.
But with a preconceived notion, she seemed to perceive that Duan Song had something to hide.
She humphed twice in her heart, recalling Su Mo’s advice from last night to be wary of Duan Song, and immediately became quite alert.
Su Mo had intended to call the others from the escort agency as well, since they were all here, there was no reason not to meet the Sect Leader of the Ziyang Sect.
Yet Duan Song waved his hand and said:
“The situation with your Grandmaster is delicate now, just the two of you come with me.”
Su Mo was taken aback, sharing a glance with Wei Ziyi.
Wei Ziyi hesitated: “If that’s the case, is it appropriate for me to visit?”
“Appropriate.”
Duan Song spoke: “You are a prominent disciple of the Lengyue Palace, which has deep ties with Ziyang. Since you are here, there’s no reason not to see him.”
Hearing this, Wei Ziyi could only nod her head.
Immediately, the trio left the courtyard and followed Duan Song towards the mountain behind.
While walking, Duan Song said:
“A few months ago, the Eternal Night Valley had other intentions to control the river trade route.
“This news spread, and the Seven Great Sects took action at once, sending disciples to regulate the river affairs.
“However, it turned out to be not as simple as imagined. At that time, our Sect Leader was still in seclusion but upon hearing this news, he knew that troubles must arise in Tianqu City.
“He traveled overnight to Tianqu City…
“You might not have heard about what happened afterward. After twenty years, the masters of the Seven Great Sects joined hands once more outside Tianqu City to fight against the Night Lord.”
Su Mo immediately nodded: “I’ve heard about this matter.”
At that time, Duan Song must have still been playing dead at Haoran Academy.
After Su Mo and Yang Yizhi parted ways, while returning to Three Rivers Bay by boat with Yang Xiaoyun and Zhen Xiaoxiao, they heard this news.
“Mhm, I only learned about it after returning to Ziyang Sect as well,” Duan Song exhaled softly: “It’s just unexpected that after twenty years without a trace, the Night Lord’s martial skills were even greater than before. In this battle, while the masters of the Seven Sects managed to fend off the Night Lord, our Sect Leader, however… received serious injuries.
“Currently, he is in the Pure Yang Mansion, using the power of the Pure Yang Heavenly Pond to suppress his internal injuries.
“Yesterday you’ve seen that Demon Path expert… He’s the one who infiltrated our sect to probe the Sect Leader’s condition.
“However, there were outsiders present at that time, so it was not appropriate for me to reveal too much.
“Aigh, if you ask me, the sect has become somewhat complacent these years, almost allowing that man to reach the Pure Yang Mansion.”
