Chapter 751: Chapter 318 Endless Prison
Wusheng Hall was in complete chaos; torches intertwined like a long dragon while figures searched on rooftops and in alleyways.
Regrettably, without a leader, there was only disorder and no organization.
Upon witnessing this, Su Mo quickly led his people back to his residence, a small courtyard.
The courtyard was relatively quiet. Zhen Xiaoxiao stood alone in the center, her eyes sparkling with alertness as she vigilantly monitored the surroundings.
She obviously heard the messy environment outside.
Upon seeing Su Mo and the others arrive, she initially got startled, but once she identified the newcomers, the spark in her eyes instantly dissipated.
Turning tearful, she said:
“Master… I’m so hungry!!”
“…”
Su Mo was momentarily speechless. The major incident at Wusheng Hall today obviously had left no one to cater food to guests.
Looking around, he found nothing edible to offer to this poor fellow.
He could only say, “Xiao Xiao, just bear with it for now. If it really becomes unbearable, try checking the kitchen in Wusheng Hall to see if there is anything to eat.
“Where are Ding Wugong and that assassin now?”
“They are in the room, and Old Hu is guarding them.”
Su Mo nodded and responded, “Good, continue guarding them. If someone breaks in aiming to kill them and you can’t defend against them, prioritize your safety and let them commit the murder.
“I, along with Second Master and others, have important matters to handle. When I return, I’ll find you something to eat.”
“Thank you, Master.”
Zhen Xiaoxiao was immediately tearfully grateful.
Su Mo then quickly turned to leave with Yang Xiaoyun and Xiao Feng.
He had returned merely to confirm the safety of Zhen Xiaoxiao and Hu Sandao.
Ding Wugong must be truly from Dark Hall, whereas that ‘assassin’ certainly was not.
However, it’s hard to say whether people like Lord Jun or Lady Wan would allow them to continue living.
After all, each day they’re alive is a massive variable.
Since Lady Wan can send Deng Fengbai and Lai Wenxiu to kill Xiao Feng, she might well come here to silence this assassin.
Now, the assassin’s worth has definitely depleted; it is not worth risking the lives of Xiao Xiao and Old Hu.
That’s why he specifically came back to warn them.
Just as Su Mo was about to leave, he suddenly thought of something and turned back to look at Zhen Xiaoxiao’s empty hands:
“Have you not retrieved your One-legged Copper Man?”
Zhen Xiaoxiao was startled and promptly said:
“Master, I suspect Xu Lu couldn’t carry my One-legged Copper Man.
“Look at him, so skinny and petite, yet so quick on his feet, he definitely lacks the strength.
“Even if he found it, I bet he couldn’t carry it back in a day.
“The One-legged Copper Man must still be with him; it shouldn’t be considered as lost by me.”
Su Mo’s brow furrowed slightly. Zhen Xiaoxiao’s words were, of course, unreliable. Although Xu Lu doesn’t possess Zhen Xiaoxiao’s Divine Power, under the Immortal Trace Mysterious Record, he has remarkable Inner Strength.
He might not beat anyone in a fight, but he definitely has the strength.
It’s certainly absurd to say he couldn’t carry it…
And given his Qinggong skills, he should have returned by now, no matter what.
Where has this man gone?
…
…
Xu Lu didn’t even know where he was anymore.
Holding a One-legged Copper Man, he sat in a corner of a passageway taking a temporary rest.
This passageway was fraught with danger: hidden weapons, mechanisms, traps, countless…
Now, it happened to be a rare safe spot, where he decided to rest briefly.
“If I knew earlier, I should never have walked inside…”
He couldn’t help but sigh deeply.
Today, he had followed his master’s order to help Zhen Xiaoxiao retrieve the One-legged Copper Man.
It wasn’t a difficult task.
Even with Zhen Xiaoxiao’s Innate Divine Strength, he wouldn’t have thrown the One-legged Copper Man hundreds of miles away.
Just follow the trail, and it wouldn’t take long to find it.
Xu Lu’s only worry was if it damaged plants or something, it wouldn’t matter much; but if it hit a person, that would be a big problem.
Fortunately, things did not develop in the worst direction.
The One-legged Copper Man did not hit anyone, but it did smash a house.
That house was part of Wusheng Hall, located in a secluded corner of the hall.
The One-legged Copper Man was heavy and had flown so far, falling from such a height, it directly punctured a hole through the roof.
It crashed down heavily, completely smashing a shrine in the hall.
Climbing through the hole in the roof, Xu Lu briefly inspected the shrine, which seemed to enshrine the founding patriarch of Wusheng Hall.
Today, the statue of this patriarch suffered an undeserved disaster.
However, the One-legged Copper Man not only damaged this shrine but also plunged deep underground, leaving only a handle exposed.
Following that handle, Xu Lu pulled out the One-legged Copper Man only to discover an extensive space underneath.
For a moment, he was curious:
“What’s this place for?”
Having a background as a thief, he was sensitive to such places.
Although he had long stopped engaging in stealing under Su Mo’s mentorship, he couldn’t help but be curious.
After thinking it over, he decided to dive in.
