Chapter 1787 - 657: Someone on the Beam_3

And at this moment, her body suddenly tightened.

Immediately followed by a relaxation.

As she opened her eyes, she could see through the copper mirror that there were already three more people behind her.

At this sight, she was instantly shocked, quickly turning her head, about to shout.

"Do not shout."

Hua Shiyiniang stepped forward, ready to cover her mouth.

But was grabbed by Su Mo, unable to advance.

At the same time, Yu Lingxin’s blade light aimed directly at the cook’s throat.

Hua Shiyiniang was taken aback:

"Isn’t this a bit much?"

Upon speaking, she saw the cook frightenedly curl up, seemingly shutting her eyes awaiting death.

Su Mo watched this scene and laughed, flicking his fingers, suddenly hearing three rustling sounds.

Three fine needles were abruptly flicked by Su Mo, pinned onto the wall beside her.

The cook’s expression suddenly changed.

She seemed to be threatened by Yu Lingxin’s blade light, curled up forward, but in truth secretly launching fine needles to take Yu Lingxin’s life.

But unexpectedly, these secret needles were seen through in an instant by the person beside her.

With the blade light now before her, it was too late to think further.

She simply flicked her hands outward, attempted to catch Yu Lingxin’s blade with her fingers.

Just the next moment, events took a turn she hadn’t anticipated.

Her attempt at catching the blade empty-handed, a technique always successful, was unexpectedly grasping at thin air this time.

A chilling sensation surged in her heart instantly.

She simply snapped both legs, leapt into the air, head down feet up delivered three palm strikes.

Targeting Yu Lingxin, Hua Shiyiniang, and Su Mo respectively.

However, after those three strikes were launched, the cook felt her heart cool half way.

Where she could see, at the places where these three once stood, there were no people at all?

Before she could locate the traces of these three individuals, she felt coolness at her ankles, lowered her gaze, saw no blood.

In a daze, she hurriedly turned her head, only to see two shadows swept over her wrists as she turned.

On her wrists, she immediately felt that cool sensation.

Looking down fork over-looking, she couldn’t see any Mystical at first glance.

Moving her wrists slightly, she discovered there were already slashes on each wrist, though the blood was scant, she only now felt the faint pain.

As she was about to grunt, a hand was already covering her mouth, next moment, a blade swiftly passed her throat.

With a swift push, she was tossed onto the bed frame, and only then did Yu Lingxin retrieve her blade.

The cook reached out to cover her throat, opened her mouth to speak, but could utter not even a single word.

She could only stare fixedly at Yu Lingxin.

Yu Lingxin was entirely indifferent to such a gaze.

She was naturally a woman who killed without batting an eyelid.

In those years, Su Mo was entrusted by a black-clothed man to deliver the Mysterious Mechanism.

There were members of the Three Extremes Sect, setting a banquet in Ten miles of peach blossom forest.

The concealed people around were entirely slayed by Yu Lingxin.

Her methods were ruthless, nothing an ordinary person could compare to.

Hua Shiyiniang watched all this unfold and sucked in a cold breath.

She, too, used a blade.

One hand with a long whip, the other with a chain dart, and a short blade hung at her waist.

She had always believed that she handled these three weapons rather well.

Having witnessed Yu Lingxin’s ghostly and unpredictable blade technique today, she realized her technique was somewhat lacking in comparison.

Yet, to say Yu Lingxin’s blade technique was extremely formidable was not entirely accurate.

But the silent and unseen killing intent displayed made people shiver.

"You were spot on."

Yu Lingxin turned to look at Su Mo.

Su Mo simply smiled:

"It was within the question’s meaning... yet what I said just now, you must keep in mind.

"These people, while they might be deliberately released by Weiyang Palace, if someone can indeed disguise themselves as them, like you... then they should not be underestimated."

"I understand."

Yu Lingxin nodded and began skillfully searching the room for traces.

Moments later, she uncovered a piece of white cloth, wrapped the corpse within it, opened a box, and threw it in.

This left only a pool of blood on the floor.

Yu Lingxin glanced at Su Mo and Hua Shiyiniang:

"Still not leaving?"

She sat before the copper mirror, took out various jars from her bosom, placing them on the table.

Apparently, she intended to start disguising and changing her face.

Su Mo chuckled immediately:

"In that case, you carry on, we’ll go on ahead."

"Okay."

Yu Lingxin nodded.

Before Su Mo left, he thought for a moment and added:

"Should there be traces of the old scoundrel, remember not to act rashly."

"Rest assured, I still plan to see my brother marry and have children, I have no intention of dying this early."

"That’s good then."

Su Mo thought the Qilin Swordsman’s marriage and raising children might be difficult, but with such expectations, Yu Lingxin would not be rash.

Leaving Yu Lingxin to her disguise.

Su Mo led Hua Shiyiniang, slipping out of the room, returned to Weiyang Palace.

Sikong Hua Ji was recuperating within Weiyang Palace.

Finding him wasn’t difficult.

Moments later, Su Mo and Hua Shiyiniang had approached Sikong Hua Ji’s room.

Currently, several Tianjing Sect disciples guarded the entrance of Sikong Hua Ji.

The two sneaked into the room through the window.

They looked up to see Sikong Hua Ji leaning on a couch with two women serving him nearby.

Su Mo contemplated, hesitating on how to deliver the escort.

Suddenly heard the noise outside.

A Tianjing Sect disciple spoke out:

"Sect Leader is badly injured, no external visitors are welcomed, please understand, Hall Master."

"Insolence!"

The hall master yelled angrily:

"I know he is seriously injured, hence I came to visit him, yet you dare block me?

"Are you looking to die?

"You... yes, you, I remember your face, later see if your wife is good looking, if so, remember to send her to my place."

Upon hearing this, Sikong Hua Ji exhaled lightly and waved:

"Let him in."

Su Mo paused briefly, then took Hua Shiyiniang, swiftly moved onto the beam.

Feet barely settled when Hua Shiyiniang’s pupils contracted suddenly.

On this beam, unexpectedly, there was another person.

Merely a step away from them.

In a face-to-face encounter, Hua Shiyiniang felt a chill down her spine!
