Chapter 1674 - 624: Arriving Together
Originally, it was thought that today’s excitement would end with the appearance of the Old Man.
But unexpectedly, the black clothed man still had a powerful hidden weapon up his sleeve.
As such, the situation will inevitably change once more.
Just unsure who this Old Man truly is?
Judging by how the Old Man addressed the black clothed man, he should also be an incense master at Jingxin Hall.
His status isn’t low, yet he’s so fearful of this Old Man?
It’s just that Su Mo’s time here in Xizhou has been short and he doesn’t understand the Xizhou Martial World deeply.
Elder Yushu’s identity is extremely extraordinary.
Looking across Xizhou, there’s a hall, Eight Sects and Nine Peaks.
All of them are major forces, with one hall ruling supreme, standing high above.
The Eight Sects and Nine Peaks each lead their own style, sharing the land of Xizhou.
Yet, outside of this hall and Eight Sects and Nine Peaks, there are still some masters who come and go freely, moving independently.
These individuals belong to no particular power, yet possess incredible martial arts skills, even these major forces dare not easily offend them.
Good-hearted people have summarized four characters, which are ’Three Wonders and Five Elders’.
The Three Wonders are ’Blade, Sword, Flower’.
The Five Elders are ’Eccentric, Roar, Shu, Mixed, Book’.
This Elder Yushu is precisely the ’Book’ among the Five Elders.
Among them, they aren’t a unified entity, all act independently, some have not even seen each other, only heard each other’s names alongside their own.
However, more than ten years ago, the ’Qianji Sect’ among the hall, Eight Sects and Nine Peaks, for some unknown reason, had a conflict with ’Lord Ban Shu’ of the Five Elders.
Prompting him to enter Qianji Sect alone.
Battle raged for over half a month, destroying seven locations of Qianji Sect.
After that, he ascended Thousand Mechanism Peak.
No outsiders saw this battle; all that was known afterward was that Qianji Sect disciples would always retreat when facing Lord Ban Shu.
If an encounter was urgent, they must be honest and respectful.
For a while, Lord Ban Shu became renowned in Jianghu.
But as for this person’s martial arts, there remains much mystery.
He belongs to that type, just knowing his name you know he’s formidable, yet what methods he actually used, what martial arts he displayed, remain unknown.
Elder Yushu and Lord Ban Shu are both renowned in the world.
Naturally, when this Song Sect Leader saw him, he inevitably thought of Lord Ban Shu, then recalled the Qianji Sect.
It’s natural that he feels extremely apprehensive.
However, tonight’s matter cannot be easily put down.
The people here in the inn are up to no good, their intent is clear.
Today’s leniency will surely bring disaster to Jingxin Hall tomorrow.
Therefore, even if it might offend this Elder Yushu, there is no choice.
At this moment, Elder Yushu has already coldly snorted, leaping out the window, intending to find this Song Sect Leader for a proper talk.
Inside the inn, corpses lay everywhere.
Among them are some from the inn side, but more are these women of the Blood Lotus Sect.
Those previously injured by the hidden weapon aren’t too bad.
But those who later practiced the Blood Lotus Great Method, are now suffering inner strength backlash, each in unbearable pain, wishing for death.
The red-clothed woman glanced at the Blood Lotus Sect Master in her hand and said to everyone in a deep voice:
"Elder Yushu is working hard for our matters, though his words are unpleasant, but he’s our only reliance now.
"We cannot let him face the troubles alone."
Everyone looked at each other and finally nodded.
They felt the words made sense.
These people were brought together because they all bear the burden from the Blood Lotus Sect.
They have a deep blood feud with it.
Among them, they aren’t all evil because the Blood Lotus Sect selectively dealt with villains.
In fact, good people don’t want to watch their friends and family die before them and flee alone.
Unless in special circumstances, most were exterminated.
But these individuals either fled quickly or due to their evil reputation didn’t want to bring trouble to their family, hence at the time of massacre, were not at home, but causing mischief elsewhere.
Now the matter between Blood Lotus Sect and Jingxin Hall is widely spread.
Though their mental attitudes differ, their desire to trouble the Blood Lotus Sect and Jingxin Hall is the same.
After a chaotic battle, a red-clothed woman led the charge, rushing out of the inn to face Jingxin Hall.
Only a few inn staff were left behind.
Cleaning up in the inn.
Clearing the battlefield, tidying the corpses.
Su Mo led Little Situ and Dong Cuilan out of the guest room.
He glanced at the scene on the first floor, spotting these staff pulling the corpses to the direction of the kitchen rather than carrying them out for burial...
He was momentarily thoughtful.
Unable to resist glancing at Dong Cuilan.
Dong Cuilan seemed unaware of everything around, now as if she is sunk into the eighteen layers of Hell, struggling endlessly in a sea of suffering.
Su Mo had no intention of relieving her.
Leading her and Little Situ out of the inn.
Though there was no need to exit through the main entrance, they went through the window, sitting atop the inn rooftop.
Observing Elder Yushu with a group of rabble led out from the inn behind him.
Song Sect Leader from Jingxin Hall stood behind, accompanied by black clothed men hidden away.
The two sides faced off, so far without fighting.
This is because just now Elder Yushu came out to confront Song Sect Leader.
Song Sect Leader respectfully greeted him, then diverged the topic left and right, all smiles, calling himself the junior and declaring tonight’s visit was definitely not to seek Elder Yushu’s misfortune.
