Chapter 1783 - 656: Delivering the Escort (2)

This change really caught her by surprise.

Su Mo just smiled and had everyone sit down.

His gaze swept over everyone:

"It’s been a while, has everyone been well?"

"Thank you, Supreme Elder, for your concern, everyone is doing very well."

Zhang Quan said with a smile:

"Nowadays, Nanhai is peaceful, the people are happy, and the Jianghu is calm.

"Although Alliance Leader Gao is getting old, his skills remain extraordinary.

"All matters are handled in perfect order.

"Everyone has been indulging themselves, probably gaining a few pounds."

The crowd nodded in agreement.

As for the so-called Alliance Leader Gao, he is actually Gao Tianqi.

The three forces combined, and thus there is no more Alliance Leader Gao.

Now, he serves as Su Mo’s housekeeper in Nanhai, managing various matters, which is quite convincing.

Su Mo, hearing this, immediately said with a smile:

"This is good... How many people have come this time?"

"Following your instructions, Supreme Elder."

Qi Shengxuan stood up, took a step, and kneeled on one knee:

"Half a sect has come to Nanhai this time.

"They are now scattered around Imperial Court Mountain, just waiting for your command, and we will attack the mountain in no time!

"Additionally, two sects are stepping into the land of Xizhou in batches.

"Although Kanbu leader Shui Wuchang and others wished to come and see you, Supreme Elder,

"the numbers are many, and a coordinator is needed.

"Please forgive us, Supreme Elder."

"No need for that."

Su Mo gently waved his hand:

"Even half a sect should be more than enough, I reckon."

This half appears calculated from the Eight sects of Dragon King Hall.

Each sect of the Eight is composed of many people.

One main ship, a hundred secondary ships, followed by a thousand warships as soldiers.

Swooping across the sea, it is indeed a formidable force.

Just calculating based on each ship having a hundred people, this single sect already exceeds ten thousand.

Thus half a sect represents fifty to sixty thousand skilled warriors.

If these people act simultaneously, overturning Imperial Court Mountain wouldn’t be difficult.

However, they might let Dongmen Yong escape; hence, this method isn’t feasible for now.

Otherwise, Su Mo would indeed be tempted.

Especially since Yang Xiaoyun became pregnant, murderous intent surged in Su Mo’s heart, sensing the overwhelming malice around.

In the past, he had time to negotiate with them, but now he doesn’t want to wait anymore.

He just wants to quickly kill all these people.

Thinking about this, Su Mo tapped his fingers lightly on the table and looked at Yu Lingxin:

"How did you end up with them?"

"You had Senior Chen visit various places, which drew their attention. I only arrived last night, wanting to find you.

"Then, while accidentally passing the rooftop of their courtyard, I overheard them discussing Shunfeng Escort Agency.

"Thinking I might find clues, I listened carefully.

"Unexpectedly..."

She said this while glancing at Shi Shengtian:

"This old man’s martial arts are truly formidable; my Concealing Breath Skill couldn’t deceive him.

"Carelessly, he discovered me.

"I had planned to fight and retreat, thinking it wouldn’t be hard to escape.

"Didn’t expect..."

Yu Lingxin didn’t need to say more at this point.

Everyone in the room was a Nanhai master.

The weakest martial artist might actually be Qi Shengxuan.

Even his wife’s martial arts are better than his.

After all, Wangyou Island’s Island Master is famous; even back when the three forces existed, they hardly wished to offend him, evident enough.

With these people acting together, Yu Lingxin misjudged from the start.

Presumably, she got captured directly.

"Later, I said I was with Shunfeng Escort Agency, which left them half-believing.

"Thankfully, I learned from their conversation that they all came from Nanhai.

"So I mentioned your name.

"It worked indeed.

"After hearing it, they agreed to bring me to see you today. If you didn’t recognize me, today next year might be my memorial day."

Su Mo listened and laughed heartily, speaking to everyone present:

"This is Miss Yu Lingxin. When you see her in the future, don’t be rude."

"Yes."

Everyone nodded, then stood up and apologized to Yu Lingxin.

Yu Lingxin lightly waved her hand without minding; although captured last night, she was treated well without any suffering.

Naturally, there’s no reason for blame now.

After all, she had been secretly spying; it’s already lucky they didn’t kill her.

However, she looked at Su Mo:

"According to your instructions, I followed the Blood Lotus Sect Leader, who was indeed taken by Jingxin Hall Master.

"And Jingxin Hall Master agreed to help him because Jingxin Hall is beyond saving, she needs the Blood Lotus Sect Leader to take her to find the Third.

"The Blood Lotus Sect Leader shouldn’t be lying; Dongmen Yong is indeed on Imperial Court Mountain.

"They went up the mountain last night, heading straight for Weiyang Palace, and met with Sikong Hua Ji.

"They know each other well.

"Currently residing within Weiyang Palace.

"I wanted to continue following, carefully monitoring them.

"But Weiyang Palace is fraught with danger, accidentally attracting attention, almost getting encircled.

"So I had to retreat to watch from afar.

"Seeing the Blood Lotus Sect Leader and Jingxin Hall Master didn’t know I was after them, I decided to find you to think of another way to infiltrate Weiyang Palace."

"I see."

Su Mo nodded gently:

"Wanting to infiltrate Weiyang Palace... I might just have a plan."
