Chapter 640: Chapter 281: Coming in Droves
Who is Su Mo?
The number one master of Donghuang!
Although he attracted the attention of the Jianghu due to possessing the Xinghai Relic Sand Iron, which shook everyone, after the battle in Jinyang City, Su Mo’s display of prowess established his reputation, making many with malicious intent think twice before acting.
Afterwards, he continued westward, causing uproar within the walls of Baihu City.
He single-handedly leveled the entire Changshi Mansion.
To this day, the Chief Steward remains unconscious.
Baihu City may not have left a deep impression in the eyes of many.
But surely, there are those who know the significance of the millennium-old Baihu City.
When in all these years has such a momentous event occurred?
Originally, it was thought that the White Tiger Clan of Baihu City would definitely stand against Su Mo.
Yet, unexpectedly, Baihu City swallowed its pride and accepted the incident.
Such a person, if not for the Xinghai Relic Sand Iron being an extraordinary Earthly treasure, even giving the Mountain Master ten times the courage wouldn’t suffice to provoke Su Mo.
Still, having his people with him, he arrived here after much difficulty.
Not daring to confront Su Mo head-on.
In the Jianghu, many do not believe in superstitions, mainly because there are way too many who seek fame without merit.
Some have reputations that sound impressive, but in a fight, they turn out to be nothing more than frauds with a little knowledge of basic farming martial arts.
But the Mountain Master is superstitious.
Because Su Mo’s fame wasn’t self-proclaimed.
Within Xuanji Valley, with one sword he cut down three commands, with both the Youquan Sect master and the Night Lord successively dying by his hand.
To clash with him would be tantamount to seeking one’s own death.
This led to a secret planning in Tihu Village, solely aimed at stealthily acquiring the Xinghai Relic Sand Iron without Su Mo’s knowledge.
Even if Su Mo found out in the end, he still would not know who was behind it.
Even if he sought them out, despite Su Mo’s supreme martial arts, not being an all-knowing Immortal, how could he find them?
However, he never expected that when things came to a head, people from Wusheng Hall would suddenly interject.
The Mountain Master, of course, had heard of the name Vice Hall Master Xiong Fei.
Did he intend for Su Mo to die?
If he truly had the ability to kill Su Mo, why would he go to such lengths?
Clearly, this was a plot to get himself killed!
In that instant, anger was visible on his face; he felt that the man in front of him was simply toying with him.
Indeed contemptible!
Not only did the Mountain Master show anger, but several people who had come with him did too.
A malevolent monk, and the old lady who had appeared previously.
And two other old men they had seen at the entrance to the village when they entered.
But now, they were no longer dressed like ordinary villagers, one standing upright, dressed as a Swordsman.
The other was leaning casually against the back of his chair, with a crow perched on his shoulder, pecking at his hair.
Along with the Heart Demon, this group of six were the masterminds behind this operation.
Now, watching these uninvited guests, their eyes began to show uncertain shifts, weighing the pros and cons.
Though they desired the Xinghai Relic Sand Iron, more importantly, they wanted to preserve their own lives.
Without life, what use would the Xinghai Relic Sand Iron be?
If all the wealth of the world were laid out in front of them, it would be meaningless.
Now that these uninvited guests had arrived, if the plan hit a snag, they could simply part ways in desperation.
Returning to the far-flung regions, taking the opportunity to shout out to Su about Wusheng Hall’s Xiong Fei wanting his life.
By then, Wusheng Hall would be too busy to look after themselves, allowing them to make their escape with ease.
As these thoughts churned in his mind, he heard the man let out a snicker:
“Your life?
“If you’ll pardon my bluntness, in front of the Vice Hall Master, your life is worthless.
“Of course, asking you to kill Su Mo would be an unreasonable task.
“So, the Vice Hall Master has sent something for the Mountain Master.”
“Hm?”
The Mountain Master’s brow furrowed slightly: “What is it?”
The man smiled and didn’t answer directly, but turned to look at Xiulan:
“Since the Heart Demon is here, I suppose everything must be as the Vice Hall Master has said.
“You all wait here for Lord Su, the Chief of the Escort, then let the Heart Demon act, using the Charming Heart Technique to bewitch Su Mo…
“But I wonder, how successful has it been up to now?”
The Mountain Master’s expression darkened; although the plot was not hard to guess, the man’s assertive tone made him somewhat anxious.
And how did he recognize the Heart Demon?
His thoughts rolled briefly before he let out a cold laugh:
“What sort of person is Su Mo? How dare we act against him?”
“That settles it, otherwise, if you truly used the Charming Heart Technique to bewitch him, you all would be in serious trouble. I certainly wouldn’t dare to offend.”
The man gave a light chuckle: “So it seems that the Heart Demon has bewitched the Chief’s subordinates instead?”
“Ha.”
Xiulan sneered: “You talk too much nonsense, speak quickly and get to the point, don’t delay my important matters here.”
Her heart was still set on Hu Sandao, who lay awaiting her.
“It’s alright.”
The man smiled again: “Only one last question remains… if your actions fail and news leaks out, what then?”
The Mountain Master’s eyes flashed with sharpness, but he said nothing.
And the man, as if he had only casually raised the topic, didn’t seem to expect an answer.
