Chapter 1665 - 621: Inn
Su Mo glanced at the invitation in his hand.
It was indeed exactly the same as the one taken from the underground palace.
He immediately nodded gently:
"How is Yun Mantang?"
"Fairy Luo Die is seriously injured, Yun Mantang has now found a hidden place to heal her."
Xiao He quickly replied.
"Tell me the details carefully."
Hearing Su Mo inquire about the details, Xiao He immediately recounted the entire incident thoroughly.
Yun Mantang didn’t delay at all on the way and rushed straight to Qiuyu Village.
Afterwards, he disguised himself and infiltrated Qiuyu Village to investigate the whereabouts of Fairy Luo Die.
Xiao He, during this period, was also secretly investigating.
He found the whereabouts of Fairy Luo Die quicker than Yun Mantang.
Then he conveyed this information to Yun Mantang.
Yun Mantang immediately found the location and rushed to rescue her.
Unfortunately, at this time, they alerted the masters inside Qiuyu Village.
The two of them battled fiercely, narrowly escaping death within Qiuyu Village.
Xiao He realized they couldn’t wait any longer and had people step in to cover their escape.
Once the two successfully escaped, Xiao He called in White Tiger and they charged out together, creating a massacre.
In this battle, Qiuyu Village was completely annihilated, with the remaining members of the Twelve Evils of Tianfeng and several skilled martial artists all dying at the hands of Xiao He and White Tiger.
Among the spoils, aside from the accumulated wealth of Qiuyu Village over the years, were the Mutton Fat White Jade Bottle they took from Li Zhao, and the Seven Colored Night Pearl from Fairy Luo Die.
The Mutton Fat White Jade Bottle, with Li Zhao dead, became an ownerless item.
After finding Fairy Luo Die again, Xiao He intended to return the Seven Colored Night Pearl to her.
However, Fairy Luo Die refused to accept it.
She wanted to use it to repay the favor of saving her life.
Xiao He dared not make decisions on his own, so he brought everything back to Su Mo for him to handle.
The whole matter wasn’t complicated, Su Mo nodded after hearing the story:
"Was there any identity exposure?"
Xiao He furrowed his brow tightly:
"I was dressed in black with a covered face on this trip, and when rescuing, I didn’t reveal myself and let others step in.
"There were no Dragon King Palace Disciples among them, identity exposure should not be a concern.
"But... those who know about his visit to Qiuyu Village are only us, although he didn’t see me taking action, he might be suspicious."
"That doesn’t matter."
Su Mo set the invitation aside and began to fiddle with the Mutton Fat White Jade Bottle and the Seven Colored Night Pearl.
Finally, he closed the box and placed it inside the carriage:
"These two items are quite interesting and may come in handy.
"However, Xiao He, you cannot rest for the time being."
Upon hearing this, Xiao He was overjoyed:
"Please, young master, give your orders!"
He wasn’t afraid of having too many tasks, the more tasks Su Mo assigned, the more it showed Su Mo’s trust in him.
If he had no tasks, he would have to consider if he had done something wrong, wondering why Su Mo didn’t entrust him with anything.
Su Mo nodded at his words, retrieving a bamboo tube from his sleeve:
"Go to Weiyan City, then open this bamboo tube, and act according to what it says inside, ensure there are no delays."
"Yes, I accept the order!"
Weiyan City was the first city they went to after entering Xizhou.
Even though he didn’t know why Su Mo wanted him to go back, Su Mo’s words must have their reasons, and he followed obediently.
Su Mo said ’don’t delay’, so after taking the bamboo tube, he hid it carefully in his bosom, bid farewell to Su Mo, and turned to leave.
This time, there was no one accompanying him.
He used Qinggong and disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye.
"Assigning this task to Xiao He should be fine."
Yang Xiaoyun glanced at Su Mo:
"But the matter of Dingchan Mountain..."
"The sooner, the better; procrastination breeds change."
Su Mo’s brow furrowed tightly.
Yang Xiaoyun nodded slightly.
Currently, two major matters stand before Su Mo.
The first is the Blood Lotus Sect.
Initially, it wasn’t a major priority.
However, the words spoken by the Sixth upon his death made the Blood Lotus Sect matter as important as the Jinglong Association.
The location of the Blood Lotus Sect is unexpectedly at Dingchan Mountain.
The Sixth said the Third Jing is at Bai Ye Lake in front of Dingchan Mountain.
Most likely, this is not a coincidence.
Logically, Su Mo has to go and check.
The second issue is the fifth day of the fifth lunar month, the task assigned to Xiao He was preparation for this day.
Fortunately, there’s still over two months left to prepare for this.
However, the former matter suddenly became more urgent.
After a brief contemplation, Su Mo spoke in a deep voice:
"First, we stop at Four direction City, and then I plan to personally visit Dingchan Mountain."
Yang Xiaoyun and Little Situ exchanged a glance, frowning slightly, but seeing Su Mo’s serious expression, had to agree with light nods.
Su Mo’s supreme martial arts meant his safety was never a concern, no matter where he went.
The only uncertainty was whether the Jinglong Association’s Third Jing would have any Mystical play?
The small incident of the night passed quickly.
They continued their journey on horseback the next day.
During which, Su Mo met with Fang Jie briefly.
He learned that Fang Jie’s shout the previous night was crucial.
When asked about his thoughts, the young man stammered, unable to express himself for quite a while.
Finally, he said that at the time, not knowing how to address the situation, he could only think of this method to alleviate the pressure from the Blood Lotus Sect.
Only later did he find out that the Blood Lotus Sect posed no pressure on Su Mo’s men at all.
