Capítulo 778: Chapter 327: Seeking Marriage
In the dark chamber, Jun Luo burst into a frenzied laughter.
In his view, since Su Mo coveted the Mysterious Mechanism, he would inevitably be determined to obtain the secrets hidden by Wusheng Hall.
Wan Yutang had been imprisoned and tortured by him for twenty years, yet never leaked a single detail.
Now that Wan Yutang had escaped great peril, he was once again targeted by Donghuang’s number one man.
Naturally, Jun Luo took delight in his misfortune.
The Qilin Swordsman saw how wildly he laughed and couldn’t help but roll his eyes at him:
“What’s there to laugh about?”
“Of course, I should laugh!”
Jun Luo guffawed:
“Lord Su is renowned for his righteousness under the heavens, yet his purpose this time turns out to be nothing more than the Mysterious Mechanism.
“I suppose the reason you’ve been tracking me down all the way here is the same, right?
“How much effort you’ve put into rescuing Wan Yutang, only to reveal your true intentions afterward?
“Pity that now that I’m in your hands, I no longer beg for life, but it’s somewhat regrettable I can’t see Wan Yutang’s fate.”
Upon hearing this, Su Mo also burst into laughter:
“You’ve certainly thought a lot. Now, why not carefully consider; is there anything else you haven’t confessed?
“Let it all out in one breath.”
“…Fine.”
Jun Luo was surprisingly forthright:
“However, up to this point, I don’t have anything left to confess.
“Since I began my betrayal by colluding with the Jinglong Association, and selling out our clan, I have told you everything that followed.
“Over the years, I’ve used the map from that Mysterious Mechanism I acquired to explore the Da Xuan Ruins.
“And eventually, I obtained the Imperial Bright Lamp Scripture.
“I instigated Wan Yutang to construct the Endless Prison, then imprisoned him there, usurping the position of the Great Hall Master.
“On the one hand, I subjected him to torture, seeking the location of Xin Luo Umbrella, while on the other, I sought ways to cultivate the Imperial Bright Lamp Scripture.”
At this point, he sighed:
“Unfortunately, it’s not easy to cultivate the Imperial Bright Lamp Scripture.
“I practiced the Imperial section myself, the Sun and Moon parts, but could never find the right person to practice with.
“Later, I found that Li Xuechun was a talent, and after I had Wan Yilan with Lady Wan, the Moon part also had its succession.
“And in the interim, there emerged in Jianghu a group who knew the Jinghong Fenguang hand and Yixuan Divine Skill.
“I could tell at a glance why these people were so brazenly showing off.
“I naturally didn’t pay them any attention…
“However, it made me realize that if these people weren’t from the Jinglong Association, then there must be others out there still tracing my whereabouts.
“So, I supported a puppet as the ‘face’ of Wan Yutang, while in reality, I was remotely controlling everything.
“Not long ago, Lord Su’s reputation soared.
“So when Lord Su came to the territory of Wusheng Hall, I wanted to use the potion of separation to take control of him.
“If I could achieve that, coupled with my Imperial Bright Lamp Scripture.
“Fusing the two, who in the world could be my opponent?
“Then I would surely sweep through Donghuang and dominate the world.
“Becoming the rightful ruler over all, Jun Lin Tianxia!”
“…Conquer the World, Jun Lin, Jun Luo…”
After listening to his words, Su Mo suddenly laughed heartily:
“A mere insect dares to dream of reigning over the world, truly an overblown assertion.”
“Hmph.”
Jun Luo looked up at Su Mo and coldly said:
“The quail knows nothing of the swan’s ambitions.”
Su Mo gently shook his head and pointed to a bundle:
“What is all this inside?”
“…Haven’t you already gone through it?”
Jun Luo sighed, “Many records of our clan about the Mysterious Mechanism, about the Da Xuan Dynasty.
“Since I had decided to betray, of course, these things would become extremely important.
“So I spent some time studying intensively.
“After settling into Wusheng Hall, fearing that the years would pass and I would forget everything I memorized.
“I simply wrote them down.
“Apart from that, there are things I found from the Da Xuan Imperial City… well, not exactly the city.
“One could only say it was an alchemy site from a past era of the Da Xuan Dynasty.
“I’ve recorded everything I’ve searched for and stored it here.
“Now it looks like you’ve stumbled upon a bargain.”
After that, Su Mo inquired about the Da Xuan Ruins and such.
However, on this front, Jun Luo was deliberately vague.
He just mentioned that the place was extremely dangerous.
Even with a map, one might still fall into its traps.
The terrain was malevolent, poison and miasma were pervasive, and the alchemy site of the former Da Xuan Dynasty was full of mechanisms.
Exploration was exceedingly difficult.
He said that if one could collect all seven Mysterious Mechanisms,
Perhaps other discoveries would be made.
Sadly, throughout his life, he had only found one, and regardless of how Wan Yutang was pressed, he would not disclose the key location of the second one.
This left Jun Luo in helpless frustration.
To the point where he had almost given up on this matter.
The reason he kept Wan Yutang alive, after all, was just a lingering obsession.
As the conversation turned there, Su Mo suddenly changed the subject and asked about Ren Xiongfei.
“When did you find out about Night Lord sending Ren Xiongfei to infiltrate Wusheng Hall?”
“…”
Hearing this question, Jun Luo fell silent for a moment before speaking:
“I had known about this for a very long time…
“However, Ren Xiongfei’s capabilities were limited, and since the man had been sloppy from the start, I didn’t take him seriously.
“With the cultivation of Inner Strength by Li Xuechun and Wan Yilan growing stronger day by day, and my Imperial Bright Lamp Scripture nearing Great Success.
“Such a trifling itch seemed of little concern.”
