Chapter 639: Chapter 280 Deadly_3
“Oh?”
Su Mo raised an eyebrow: “Does Old Hu know the origins of this woman?”
“Looking at her appearance, I don’t recognize her. But I do know of the Charming Heart Technique.
“There is a master of evil arts on the Western Border, who is skilled in this technique. It is said that one under the sway of the Charming Heart Technique will become utterly obedient to its caster.
“No matter what kind of grave secret you have that can’t be disclosed to others, or what kind of gold and silver jewelry you’re unwilling to share with others.
“Once caught by this technique, you would confess everything.”
Hu Sandao spoke with lingering fear: “This person calls herself the Heart Demon, arrives without a trace and leaves without a shadow, and nobody has ever seen her true appearance. But unexpectedly, it turns out to be a woman… and furthermore, a woman so shameless!”
As a mountain bandit, a hero of the Green Forest Road, he, unlike his dishonorable peers who abduct village girls to occupy by force, never did such a thing.
Instead, he almost got forcibly occupied by a woman…
If this got out, would he still have any face left?
But speaking of this, he became somewhat puzzled:
“However, when I heard her speak today, I only found it nonsensical, and did not witness the Charming Heart Technique’s formidable power.
“It just got more and more preposterous… If it had not been for the Chief’s guidance through secret messages, I might have fought her by now.”
“That’s because you took a Bai Bi Pill in advance.”
Su Mo smiled: “The fragrance she brought with her was indeed strange; I suspect that the so-called Charming Heart Technique requires this scent in combination with its execution to be effective. Fortunately, the Bai Bi Pill can prevent all poison, sparing you from misfortune…”
“So that’s how it is.”
Hu Sandao nodded, then snorted: “She… she is utterly shameless, claiming that it was her natural body fragrance.”
He was filled with righteous indignation due to the misfortune that befell him tonight.
After finishing this statement, he brought over his weapon:
“Chief, should we kill someone now?”
“… Don’t rush.”
Su Mo waved his hand: “Wait here for now, her plot is evident at a glance. By controlling you and stealing the Xinghai Relic Sand Iron, she believes she has succeeded and thinks she can safely pass the night.”
“Ah…”
Hu Sandao was surprised: “Then… if that woman comes back and wants to… what should we do?”
“A man of stature must not show weakness before others.”
Su Mo held back his laughter, his face stern.
“I…”
Hu Sandao was at a loss for a moment, full of things to say, yet unsure what would be appropriate.
Yang Xiaoyun rolled her eyes at Su Mo: “Don’t listen to his nonsense, he was just ready to make a move to save you, but then the so-called Ghost Crow messenger suddenly appeared, clearly indicating that something else has happened in this village.
“It was only a brief pause that stopped him, giving the crow a signal and leading Xiulan away.
“Looking at it now, there indeed seems to be trouble in the village, so keep calm and wait here.
“We’ll go out to observe the situation and clarify the reality here.
“The Chief will make the decision when the time comes.”
“Yes.”
Having heard this, Hu Sandao had no choice but to contain his impatience for the time being.
And to be cautious, Su Mo took out another Bai Bi Pill and handed it to Hu Sandao:
“If you see that woman return, swallow this elixir. Just in case the one you took earlier wears off, and you truly fall under her influence.”
“Thank you, Chief.”
Hu Sandao took the medicine pill and carefully put it away.
Su Mo and Yang Xiaoyun said no more and immediately left the room.
Glancing at the main house, Su Mo’s brows slightly knitted.
During the entanglement between Xiulan and Hu Sandao, they had already investigated the main house.
The old lady and the old man from the room were nowhere to be found.
Now, only a few people from the Ziyang Escort Agency remained in the yard.
After instructing Yang Xiaoyun to wake Zhen Xiaoxiao and giving a few words of advice, they leaped up and took off.
After briefly discerning the direction, they followed the way Xiulan had left.
The entire village was now dim, except for a light at the eastern end of the village.
In just a moment’s effort, Su Mo and Yang Xiaoyun arrived where the light was emitting.
It was unexpectedly crowded with people.
Yet these people were silent, standing still in the darkness, as if they were all poised for action.
And opposite them, another group of people stood in confrontation.
Su Mo and Yang Xiaoyun exchanged glances, finding it difficult to discern which of these people were the original villagers and which were outsiders.
They carefully avoided everyone’s gaze and reached the roof of the room with the light.
Lifting a roof tile, they saw light and heard voices from inside; they heard someone suppressing anger:
“We carefully avoided Wusheng Hall’s eyes and ears, infiltrated this place, and disguised ourselves as villagers just to lure Su Mo into the trap.
“Now that the person has finally arrived, you want a share of the spoils at this moment? This is utterly unreasonable!”
That voice sounded familiar, Su Mo peeked through the gap in the roof tiles and saw a large hall below, filled with distinguished guests.
Scattered around, over a dozen people were seated in the hall, where Heart Demon Xiu Lan was among them, her expression full of impatience.
And the man speaking, seated in the place of honor, was that old man.
However, now his face bore no trace of the simple honesty of a villager, nor any hint of drunkenness, but was completely sinister.
“Hehe…”
A sly chuckle arose from one side:
“Avoid? Do you really think you have evaded the Wusheng Hall? Do you underestimate Master Wan, or do you underestimate the Twelfth Halls of Wusheng Hall?”
“What do you mean by that?”
The old man, called the Mountain Master, was immediately taken aback upon hearing this.
“Just listen,” that person suddenly stood up, bowing slightly from a distance:
“By order of the Vice Hall Master of the Tenth Hall of Wusheng Hall, I have a message for the Mountain Master…”
“…Ren Xiongfei?”
The Mountain Master’s expression turned even grimmer: “What does he say?”
“He says that it’s fine for you to do business in Wusheng Hall’s territory, but you must show some goodwill.”
“What does he want?”
The Mountain Master spoke solemnly.
“Su Mo’s life!”
At this, the Mountain Master was startled, then he roared with laughter:
“Good, good, good, truly worthy of Ren Xiongfei… So he wants Su Mo’s life, does he?”
Upon saying this, he flew into a rage:
“I think he wants my life!!”
