Chapter 1676 - 624: Arriving Together (Part 3)
The surrounding scenery instantly turned desolate.
Even Song Sect Leader, upon witnessing this scene, couldn’t help but feel a tinge of dread.
On the rooftop of the inn.
Little Situ slightly furrowed his brow, glanced at the chariot, and said in a low voice:
"It’s so noisy."
"Their methods are quite interesting."
Su Mo watched the Blood Lotus Treasure Chariot with great interest.
Softly remarked:
"This person should be a significant figure within the Blood Lotus Sect.
"This time we’ve truly caught a big fish."
Seeing Su Mo so happy, Little Situ also felt delighted.
Even the incessant real-word noise could be tolerated.
Su Mo gently held her hand, channeling a stream of Inner Strength into her.
With her mastery of the Yixuan Divine Skill, Little Situ’s Inner Strength far surpassed the past, and she didn’t really need Su Mo’s help.
Nonetheless, this gesture was anything but unwelcome, feeling sweet and comforting to her heart.
She couldn’t help but glance at Su Mo, only to see him focused on the distant scene, ignoring her.
A slight tinge of emotion welled in her heart.
But this small sliver of dissatisfaction quickly dissipated.
She began thinking about how to help Su Mo capture all these people alive.
Though Su Mo might not need it, she needed to think more, in case he needed help and she had no plans.
Su Mo, unaware of her thoughts, noticed the woman in red behind Elder Yushu, her face twisted in pain, swaying, enduring with her Inner Strength.
Barely escaping the same fate as the others.
But it seemed she would soon falter.
Ultimately, Elder Yushu let out a long sigh, his cane suddenly tapping the ground:
"Awaken!!"
These two words burst into everyone’s ears instantly.
Like a thunderclap on flat ground.
Arousing them from their stupor in a flash.
Only then did some realize that they had been about to cut their own throats, while others had already stabbed a dagger into their heart, ready to dig it out alive.
Panic-stricken, they hastily pulled out the blade, but with great horror.
At this moment, if they hadn’t drawn the blade, there wouldn’t be bleeding, but pulling it out immediately caused blood to gush forth.
They hurriedly covered the wound with their hands, but how could they possibly stop it?
Previously ensnared in illusion, they had mercilessly harmed themselves, and now awake, they couldn’t control themselves.
Elder Yushu lifted his head to gaze at the Blood Lotus Treasure Chariot:
"Such a Demon Sound to cow the soul, Song Sect Leader, the Evil People of the Blood Lotus Sect have appeared.
"How about we join forces to rid Jianghu of this evil, and kill those low class?"
"..."
Song Sect Leader was momentarily speechless.
At a loss on how to respond, he heard laughter.
"It’s been years, and Elder Yushu still loves to joke."
As the voice fell, Elder Yushu’s expression changed, suddenly raising his head to see a well-dressed man standing atop a tree nearby.
Swaying with the tree in the wind.
A half-mask adorned his face, but now he removed it with a smile:
"I travel without revealing my true face.
"But since Elder Yushu is here, covering my face with a mask would be discourteous.
"Xia Yuan of Jingxin Hall, at your service!"
"Deputy Hall Master!"
Song Sect Leader and others quickly bowed, and Song Sect Leader repeatedly apologized:
"I failed in my duties, please punish me, Deputy Hall Master."
"No matter."
Xia Yuan waved gently, "Since Elder Yushu is here, it’s only natural to meet him first. Besides, anything we plan to do, Elder Yushu won’t really stop us. Moreover, even if he intended to stop you, not to mention you... even I would be humbled, and what could I possibly do?"
Elder Yushu couldn’t help but sneer:
"Xia Yuan, your tongue remains as glib as ever.
"It’s a pity that today’s affairs won’t be brushed aside with mere eloquence.
"Jingxin Hall colludes with the Blood Lotus Sect, and the evidence is irrefutable!
"Either you evil demons kill me here at this Wilderness Inn today.
"Or after today, this matter will be the talk of Jianghu.
"In the name of Yushu, I will rally the righteous of Jianghu to join forces at Jingxin Hall, to demand justice for those wronged by the Blood Lotus Sect!!"
"Hmph."
From within the Blood Lotus Treasure Chariot, a cold snort resounded.
Xia Yuan sighed:
"Why so... obstinate, Elder?"
He spoke, listening to sounds piercing through the wind from every direction.
The black clothed men of Jingxin Hall, the red clad of the Blood Lotus Sect.
Morphing into black and red, emerging continuously, gathering several hundred strong in no time.
Encircling everyone present.
The red-clad woman who had previously impersonated a Blood Lotus Sect member saw this, her pupils contracting in shock:
"You... you made such a fuss just for us?"
"Haha."
Xia Yuan chuckled at her words: "Miss, you misunderstand, we gathered these people not to deal with you.
"Though we don’t know why the Hall Master and the Blood Lotus Sect Leader gathered forces like this...
"Our true purpose is to head for Four Direction City, to trouble a certain caravan."
"The caravan that sheltered the Young Master of Nong Yue Villa?"
The woman in red was evidently aware of this, hearing this tightened her grip on the broken sword in her hand:
"You... you intend to silence them!?
"Don’t even think about it, today, even if I have to stake my life..."
"... you won’t be able to do anything."
Elder Yushu finished her sentence for her, sighing softly:
"Child, leave first, today’s endeavors are futile, I’ll hold them back.
"Keep yourself alive, there’s time to plot greater things!"
"No way!"
The woman in red spoke hurriedly: "We stay or leave together!"
"Hahaha."
Elder Yushu laughed heartily:
"Surrounded as we are, without my help, how do you plan to escape?
"Rest assured... with these crooked people, they cannot trap me !!"
