Chapter 468: Chapter 224: Take Care of Yourself
Wan Cangxin is truly dead!
Wei Ziyi can confirm that Wan Cangxin died before this dense forest.
Pierced through the heart by a sword.
Life was completely extinguished.
She personally examined the body, and probed it with her Inner Strength.
Indeed, dead beyond any doubt!
But now, he is alive again.
Was the person who just died really Wan Cangxin?
If so, how could a dead person be resurrected?
But if not… then who was that person?
Question after question burst forth from Wei Ziyi’s mind.
Yet, answers were elusive for the moment.
Occasionally glancing at Su Mo, she noticed that Su Mo’s face did not show much confusion, but rather a hint of sudden realization.
What does he know now?
Wei Ziyi kept her questions to herself.
She did not show her doubts, and even her momentary shock was just that—momentary, allowing no one to catch on.
Although she didn’t understand the mystery behind whether Wan Cangxin was alive or dead,
She knew there had to be a huge issue hidden behind it.
Su Mo had his reasons for not telling her,
And now was not the time to relentlessly dig for answers. Instead, it was better to pretend ignorance and watch coldly from the sidelines.
Seeing Wan Cangxin greeting everyone present with a smile on his face.
But whenever he looked up at Su Mo and Wei Ziyi, he appeared slightly puzzled.
After a brief contemplation, he came forward:
“Thank you both for making the trip here.”
Su Mo laughed heartily: “No trouble at all, I was originally meditating in my room tonight, but the noise above was like thunder, so I couldn’t resist coming out to see what the fuss was about.
“But unexpectedly, before the Tianqu Sword even began, I had the fortunate chance to witness Hero Wan’s Heavenly Spring Heart Cleansing Sword.
“It truly was a feast for the eyes, enchanting enough to make one forget the mundane world.”
“Too kind, too kind,”
Words that praise were lifted by the carrier’s own praises, and Su Mo’s words indeed made Wan Cangxin’s mouth curve upward:
“Speaking of which, I haven’t yet asked for your esteemed names?”
“Dare not claim high; I am Su Mo, hailing from the Southwest, and the Ziyang Escort Agency in Luoxia City is our family business.”
Su Mo lightly chuckled as he revealed his origins.
Wan Cangxin was visibly startled upon hearing this:
“What? Luoxia City’s Ziyang Escort Agency! Are you Lord Su, Su Mo, from Xuanji Valley, who slaughtered the three commands with a single sword and shattered the Youquan Sect!?”
His voice was not low, and several nearby who heard turned their gazes towards Su Mo.
They each took a sharp breath in.
One’s reputation can shadow one like a tree. They didn’t know the identities of Su Mo and Wei Ziyi previously, but just seeing their Qinggong and movement techniques had already impressed them.
Now hearing of Su Mo’s reputation, they were even more astonished.
Though many of Dongcheng’s Cultivators see the Southwest as a trivial place,
Su Mo had certainly made a different mark there.
The Youquan Sect’s twenty years of plans were sliced apart by Su Mo’s sword.
Within the ’two parts, three flags, six orders’, one part and three commands were completely eradicated in the Southwest’s Xuanji Valley.
When this news spread through Dongcheng, Su Mo’s reputation soared along with the tale, echoing across the whole of Dongcheng.
Who could have imagined that such a legendary figure was right in front of them!?
Instantly, they approached to pay their respects without any delay.
Su Mo then courteously returned greetings one by one.
Thereafter, he introduced Wei Ziyi as a senior pupil from Lengyue Palace, sparking another wave of admiration.
However, the shock wasn’t as grand as the reaction to Su Mo’s reputation.
After all, this was Tianqu City, where disciples from Lengyue Palace could occasionally be seen in the city making purchases, so their presence was not as extraordinary.
In comparison, Su Mo, who had risen from the Southwest, was more captivating.
Wan Cangxin could not help but exclaim:
“Since stepping into Jianghu, tales of Lord Su’s deeds have been thunderous to my ears.
“I intended to visit the Southwest after the Tianqu Sword to meet in person.
“Never thought I would encounter you here… truly fortunate, truly fortunate!”
“Hero Wan speaks too highly,”
Su Mo spoke with a smile: “Since my arrival in Dongcheng, I have repeatedly heard of Hero Wan’s exploits. From catching spies within the Huayang Sect to calming the waves within Kong Mountain, traveling hundreds of miles, all for the purpose of eliminating demons for the sake of the people, you are truly a model in the Path of Chivalry.
“I deeply admire these deeds when I hear of them.”
“Haha, those are just minor deeds, but when Lord Su makes a move, he directly cripples an arm of the Youquan Sect.
“Moreover, under the devilish grip of the Youquan Sect, you managed to protect the fellow Jianghu people of the Southwest without a scratch.
“This capability is indeed beyond my reach.”
As these two praised each other, others joined in the admiration.
Wei Ziyi stood to the side listening, carefully discerning Wan Cangxin’s voice.
She found his voice to be identical to the one she heard earlier in that courtyard.
Her confusion deepened.
However, the mutual praise between Su Mo and Wan Cangxin didn’t catch her attention much.
People of Jianghu are like this, praising each other, enhancing relationships through such exchanges, growing deeper and deeper.
In their conversations, Su Mo subtly changed the subject, looking towards the side where the forest still bore signs of smoldering fires and thick smoke, he couldn’t help but ask:
“Speaking of which, does Hero Wan know what this is about?
“Earlier, Miss Wei and I saw Hero Wan’s exquisite swordsmanship and thought the villains had been dealt with, so we didn’t pay much attention after.”
