Chapter 1830 - 671: Cold Ice and Blazing Fire Palm

Guiniang... is actually Zhi Ying!?

Su Mo, although sitting still, felt a sense of bewilderment in his heart.

A bride abducted on her wedding night.

Just hearing such an encounter, she should be an ordinary girl with no strength to even truss a chicken.

Otherwise, how could she end up in such a situation?

However, Lord Ban Shu told him.

This person was amazingly one of the famous Three Wonders and Five Elders, Guiniang.

Su Mo was a bit at a loss for a moment.

Guo Zhaochen glared angrily at Lord Ban Shu:

"I’ve told you, don’t call my name!

"You are not qualified!!"

"...Yes, yes, yes."

Lord Ban Shu nodded and sighed lightly:

"This matter is from ancient times, the Alliance Hierarch inquires, we dare not say it, but the matters involved link to many old people and past grievances.

"It’s difficult to discuss in detail, I ask for the Alliance Hierarch’s understanding."

"Not at all... I was presumptuous, not understanding the depths of the matter."

Su Mo mused for a moment and then said:

"Yet the reason I spoke abruptly today is because Senior Zha once told me.

"The reason they knew Sikong Hua Ji practiced the Heavenly Seizing God Transformation Great Technique was because Guiniang informed them.

"And accompanying Guiniang... if my guess is correct, must be a Jing Huang from the Jinglong Association.

"I had thought Guiniang would surely appear on Imperial Court Mountain today.

"But unexpectedly, she was never seen..."

Here he suddenly furrowed his brow slightly:

"May I boldly ask, what is Guiniang’s temperament like?"

"..."

Lord Ban Shu and Guo Zhaochen exchanged a look.

Ultimately, it was Guo Zhaochen who spoke:

"My junior sister used to be gentle and graceful, naturally quite good."

So they were senior and junior siblings.

Upon hearing this, Su Mo suddenly realized.

The Seven Emotions Absolute Thought Method practiced by Guo Zhaochen is indeed a peculiar Extraordinary Skill.

Since Zhi Ying is his junior sister, it’s natural that she wouldn’t be a weak girl.

Lord Ban Shu then responded:

"However, since that incident years ago, her character changed.

"When I found her that year...

"Alas...

"Afterwards, I took care of her for quite a while, she never changed out of her wedding dress.

"Then she departed without warning; I searched for months to no avail.

"The next news I got of her was the rumor of her killing en route.

"Following these traces, I found her... wanted to persuade her to return with me.

"But she attacked me fiercely.

"Her martial arts was no less than mine, and feeling guilty towards her, I naturally held back. However, she had no regard for past affections.

"After severely injuring me, she left..."

"Hmph, in my view, she ultimately remembered past affections. Otherwise, how could you still be alive today?"

Guo Zhaochen glanced coldly at Lord Ban Shu.

Lord Ban Shu sighed deeply, at a loss for words, merely said:

"In the years following in the Jianghu, I often heard rumors about her.

"Temperament became extreme, Yin Yang unstable, both good and evil, no traces of past left.

"Several times I sought her out, only to be severely wounded by her.

"Afterwards, dared not rashly see her again..."

Su Mo nodded after listening:

"Thank you both for your disclosure."

"Hmph."

Guo Zhaochen glanced at Su Mo:

"Nanhai Supreme, Xizhou Alliance Leader.

"You have such big titles, such high martial arts.

"But there’s one thing... if you intend to harm Zhi Ying in the slightest, I will absolutely not rest with you!!"

"..."

Su Mo chuckled quietly:

"Rest assured, I seek her to inquire about the Jinglong Association. Provided she tells truthfully, I naturally shall not make things difficult for her."

"...That’s good."

Guo Zhaochen nodded.

He knew full well, Su Mo’s promise wasn’t entirely perfect.

But to get Su Mo to say such words was already commendable.

If he thought a few words from himself could change Su Mo’s decision, that was evidently impossible.

Now that Su Mo has granted him this face, he went along without further probing.

Yet inwardly could not help but furrow his brow.

Su Mo is extremely troublesome, his martial arts unfathomably high.

Today in Weiyang Palace, Sikong Hua Ji and several masters attacked simultaneously, yet were still dealt with by him to the point of life and death.

If Zhi Ying truly fell to his hands and did not behave... it truly would be uncertain how it might end.

Thinking of this, Guo Zhaochen suddenly lifted his head:

"Alliance Leader Su..."

"Hmm?"

Su Mo glanced at him:

"Does Senior Guo have advice to offer? Just speak."

"..."

Guo Zhaochen mused briefly, then spoke softly:

"The Xizhou Martial World alliance is newly formed, Alliance Leader Su is now in need of people.

"I wish to offer myself, I wonder what Alliance Leader Su thinks?"

"Oh?"

Upon hearing this, Su Mo smiled, glancing at Lord Ban Shu.

He noticed Lord Ban Shu seemed tempted as well and immediately laughed:

"Regarding this... indeed might not be impossible.

"But today I queried Lord Ban Shu, heard you both had urgent matters and wanted to leave quickly.

"Now why suddenly..."

Upon hearing this, Guo Zhaochen glared at Lord Ban Shu:

"He has no urgent matter, it’s merely an excuse."

"This..."

Lord Ban Shu was speechless, having been exposed publicly, to such an extent?

Su Mo seeing this, chuckled again:

"Then it seems you both intend to join my Jianghu Alliance?"

While speaking, he watched not Guo Zhaochen, but Lord Ban Shu.
