Chapter 1870 684: The Traitor Makes a Move! (Happy New Year~)

After they exited the hall, Jiang Lan let out a laugh:

"Never thought in this lifetime that I'd be treated so well by the Jinglong Association."

"Life's opportunities are unpredictable."

Su Mo chuckled:

"Who knows what tomorrow or the day after will bring?"

"..."

Jiang Lan was a bit irritated hearing him speak:

"Su... Brother Wu, weren't you a bit too unscrupulous earlier?"

He had been holding back these words throughout the journey.

Su Mo openly let him go, then turned around to make his situation known to everyone, directly attracting the Jinglong Association.

Sneaky smiles upfront, and then stabbing in the back.

Truly despicable.

Su Mo laughed gently and said:

"Vice Hall Master Jiang, where do these words come from? How come I don't understand?"

"Stop pretending to be confused when you know full well what's going on."

Jiang Lan sighed:

"Never mind, never mind, you people act so ruthlessly and viciously.

"I used to think I was clever too.

"But looking at you all, your methods are so dirty...

"Do you not worry about being exposed?"

"Let it be exposed then."

Su Mo smiled:

"Coming here was always meant to reveal the dagger at the bottom of the map.

"Wanting to confront them openly.

"Hopefully things can become simpler now, otherwise, with tens of thousands of people... even if you can fight them, you'll soften after the kill, won't you?"

"... Such a heavy killing intent?"

Jiang Lan looked at Su Mo in surprise:

"Honestly, sneaking into the depths of Cloud is not something you could usually pull off.

"You're someone who always plans before acting.

"You usually calculate thoroughly... this time, isn't it a bit reckless without strategy?

"The Jianghu Alliance is now heading straight for Jinglong Hall.

"Everyone thinks you've gone to Jinglong Hall to take charge, but no one anticipated you'd actually come here.

"But... with just these two girls, if you plan to directly challenge these Jing Huangs.

"This... isn't that a bit too much?"

"Time waits for no one, when it's time for risk, one must take risks."

Su Mo gently shook his head:

"Speaking of which, how did your Imperial Dao move to Xizhou?

"This time, the momentum is huge, are you planning to completely break with the Jinglong Association?"

"What's it to you?"

Jiang Lan instinctively became alert.

Su Mo was speechless:

"You keep saying I'm the Imperial Bloodline of the former regime, the current Your Highness.

"Logically, your Imperial Dao pledges allegiance to Da Xuan, shouldn't you follow my orders too?

"Even if you don't follow orders, when I inquire about your actions, you are unwilling to tell me, isn't this treating me like an outsider?"

"..."

Jiang Lan was temporarily speechless.

Su Mo raised an eyebrow:

"Or is it, like Di Wu Jing said.

"Claiming to be loyal to Da Xuan, but actually wanting to be an Emperor yourself?"

"How can that be?"

Jiang Lan hurriedly said:

"Don't listen to Di Wu Jing's nonsense, the Imperial Dao has been established for years, always focused on Da Xuan.

"If we wanted to establish ourselves as Emperor, why wait until today?"

"Speaking of which, it is strange to me."

Su Mo said softly:

"Whether it's the Jinglong Association or the Imperial Dao.

"If you want the world, you go, you seize, you attack and wage war.

"Why do nothing?

"Everyone only cares about hiding themselves, growing stronger, but no one triggers a battle?

"At least, you should clean up those who stick their heads out in the Jianghu sects, right?

"In the past, I thought it was because the Jinglong Association and the Imperial Dao were mutually restraining, making it difficult to act... looking at it now, it seems there's still some hidden reason among you."

"... What hidden reason could there be?"

Jiang Lan shook his head:

"The Imperial Dao and Jinglong Association are just fighting in the dark.

"Neither can see the other, quietly gathering force and power.

"When one side exposes itself, it will inevitably face the other's thunderous strike...

"Like the current Jinglong Association.

"You ask why our Imperial Dao revealed ourselves in Xizhou, it's actually quite simple.

"What happened on Imperial Court Mountain made the Jinglong Association show its tail.

"With you Jianghu Alliance being present too.

"Our Imperial Dao army presses forward, joining with your Jianghu Alliance, to destroy the Jinglong Association, today is the day!

"And your identity, is quite extraordinary.

"So, this time the Taoist Master personally came to Xizhou.

"Originally he wanted to meet you."

"Oh?"

Su Mo raised his eyebrow:

"Then why not see the Taoist Master go to Imperial Court Mountain?"

"Because you've gone to Jinglong Hall."

Jiang Lan pouted:

"The Taoist Master went straight to Jinglong Hall.

"Currently, there are already preparations made at Jinglong Hall, this time, we're determined to make Jinglong Association suffer heavy losses."

Su Mo's fingers lightly tapped the tabletop:

"Interesting... I'll reluctantly take your words as truth."

"... What I said is genuinely the truth."

Jiang Lan was quite dissatisfied with the word "reluctantly":

"Alright, say no more, I'm almost starving... I'll eat first..."

At this point, he glanced at the table and found the plates piled up high, all shiny and clean as if they've just been washed.

Zhen Xiaoxiao smacked her lips and sneakily looked at Su Mo.

She knew he was having a casual chat with Jiang Lan, so she didn't dare interrupt.

Now seeing that the two were done talking, Xiao Xiao quickly spoke up:

"Master... hungry..."

Jiang Lan felt he might be having some ear problems.

The entire feast on the table was gone, and yet, still hungry?
