Chapter 65: Chapter 65 Righteousness that Touches the Sky! Chapter 65: Chapter 65 Righteousness that Touches the Sky! Editor: Atlas Studios Master Cang Ming’s words outlined the situation clearly after this period of turmoil.
Youquan Sect arrived from the east, and their first target was Xuanji Valley.
The powerful member of Youquan Sect whom Liu Suifeng encountered might not be a coincidence; he was probably targeting Liu Suifeng.
Youquan Sect, using Xuanji Valley, issued invitations, calling martial arts sects from the southwest to discuss matters at Xuanji Valley.
However, they secretly kidnapped some of these individuals.
This tactic seems contradictory, but it actually isn’t.
Inviting so many people, even if preparations are thorough, it’s hard to guarantee they could completely succeed.
Kidnapping some attendees secretly further weakens the overall strength of those heading to Xuanji Valley to discuss matters, adding more weight to that ‘invitation’.
Another point, for instance, if they kidnapped Lou Jingjing from the Luoxing Sect, wouldn’t her father be compelled to comply with Youquan Sect’s demands?
This can also be inferred from the identities of those imprisoned beneath the Sword Tasting Tower.
This strategy provides triple benefits. Even with some oversight, it’s unlikely for anyone to suspect issues with Xuanji Valley.
After all, Xuanji Valley has a notable reputation, and Master Cang Ming is considered a righteous figure, who would suspect a change in that?
Even if some do suspect, without solid evidence, they can only confront them directly, making the outcome even more unpredictable.
On the other hand, taking over Yuliu Manor while spreading news of Liu Suifeng’s severe injuries lures Jianghu people to them, which is a tactic of having multiple hideouts.
These visitors become cultivation materials to continuously enhance the strength of the sect’s disciples.
Even if the situation at Xuanji Valley is exposed,
and the Jianghu heroes band together to attack, Youquan Sect can still retreat and have a fallback.
The force that has been secretly accumulated will play an extremely crucial role at a key moment.
Lastly, there’s Liu Suifeng.
Using the three great demon techniques from the Youquan Scripture to create a Blood Slave—should Liu Suifeng truly become a Blood Slave,
Youquan Sect only needs to have the person holding the Body Seizing order disguise themselves as Master Cang Ming to oversee the major affairs within Xuanji Valley.
Meanwhile, Liu Suifeng can deal with those they can’t subdue.
After all… how many in Jianghu would suspect Yu Liu Sword Heart? How many could withstand a surprise attack by the Divine Rainbow Heart Seeking Sword?
All these plots, arranged in Su Mo’s mind, are proof of Youquan Sect’s frighteningly effective tactics.
Yet, there’s still one thing Su Mo couldn’t understand.
If Youquan Sect had never set foot in this southwest region before, how could they be so familiar with the Jianghu Sects?
Knowing these sects is one thing, but having thorough knowledge of individuals like the Yin Mountain Ghost Lord is quite alarming.
The strategies used by the gathering of evil forces in Fen Hui Mountain’s Seeking Mysterious Valley seem different from those within Yuliu Manor.
“Could there be someone in the southwest Jianghu colluding with Youquan Sect!?”
This thought naturally arose in Su Mo’s mind.
What Yang Xiaoyun said was indeed sensible; facing such a monumental issue, just the two of them handling it was indeed insufficient.
But waiting here for Yang Yizhi to come to assist would be an even greater waste of time.
“We don’t know how much truth there is in this Blood Slave creation technique.”
Su Mo glanced at Yang Xiaoyun: “But according to Master Cang Ming, these people want to join forces to make this happen. Considering the time elapsed, Liu Suifeng has already been taken to Xuanji Valley for over a month. If he cannot endure any longer… I fear our mission here might utterly conclude without resolution.”
Yang Xiaoyun understood this too, but her brows lightly furrowed: “But under these circumstances, the two of us are ultimately isolated and weak…”
This girl has always been brave, yet she is not without sense.
I’m certain, or even if slightly less certain, she would dare to make a life-risking strike.
However, facing such a completely uncertain situation, naturally required more careful consideration.
But when doing good deeds, don’t inquire about the future, also one must ask whether one’s abilities are sufficient for the task.
Otherwise, it would be a meaningless sacrifice.
“Who said… it’s only the two of us?”
Su Mo’s lips suddenly curled up slightly: “Our side, may not necessarily be alone and helpless.”
“Uh?”
Yang Xiaoyun was stunned, first glancing at Luo Zhen, then at Master Cangming, seemingly thoughtful, but suddenly turned back, looking towards their origin, and immediately realized: “You mean… them?”
“Exactly.”
Su Mo smiled.
These people from Jianghu who were imprisoned here, some were abducted, some came on their own.
But regardless of which kind, this moment’s accumulation of resentment is inevitably unavoidable.
Previously, Su Mo had not considered them, as this escort task was thought to be the end upon arrival here.
But since it is not the end, naturally, they had to be utilized slightly.
And relying on the prestige of Su Mo and Yang Xiaoyun alone might not be enough to make them obey, but now… isn’t there also Master Cangming?
This great expert, is no ordinary character.
Just uncertain about the impact of the Blood Transformation Divine Skill on him, how much still remains?
Just thinking about this, Master Cangming had already stood up, clearly Luo Zhen had explained the upheaval of Yuliu Manor.
The old Taoist, disheveled, came up to Su Mo, bowed with hands clasped and said solemnly:
“Young Hero’s righteousness is as vast as the heavens, daring to venture deep into danger, such a great favor, this poor Taoist will never forget!”
“…”
Su Mo was momentarily speechless, and could only respond with clasped hands: “Senior speaks too highly, belonging to the same lineage of Jianghu, how can we allow the Demon Path to act recklessly?”
Although Su Mo came for this escort task, since there’s a misunderstanding, why bother clarifying it?
Master Cangming nodded slightly, sighed, “I never expected, having messed around Jianghu half my life, at the end, I almost fell into a fate neither alive nor dead…”
“Senior, do not be disheartened.”
Su Mo said: “This is not the place to talk, although I don’t know where those guarding here have gone, delay will lead to changes. This place originally is a refuge underneath the Yuliu Manor Sword Testing Building, besides us, there are many Jianghu comrades imprisoned here.
“Let us first rescue them, then clear the demon influence of Yuliu Manor.
“There’s another important matter that must be informed to Master Cangming.
“The Evil People of Youquan Sect are rampant, occupying Xuanji Valley plotting to dominate the Southwest.
“Impersonating Master with a letter of invitation, calling all Jianghu Sects to gather in Xuanji Valley.
“We can’t afford any delays now, after the affair of Yuliu Manor is over, we must ask Senior to take the lead, unite our comrades, and proceed to Xuanji Valley for a decisive battle against Youquan Sect!”
“Indeed, there still is such a change, I was worried about this matter, the evildoers of the Demon Path are truly detestable! Young Hero’s considerations are quite right, it indeed should be so!”
Master Cangming was both shocked and furious, but highly agreed with Su Mo’s words.
Luo Zhen pursed his lips, came over and said: “Then don’t waste words, those demon kids, it’s been a long time since I found them displeasing, if not for wanting to clarify this cause and effect to avoid implicating others, I would have already started a massacre.”
Master Cangming at this moment had recovered quite a bit.
Su Mo also felt it, this old Taoist was truly profound with Ruyi True Qi, although Blood Transformation Divine Skill is fierce, it’s hard to obliterate that old Taoist’s foundation of the Mystical Sect, as long as he finds a chance, it wouldn’t be hard to return chaos to order.
A few people briefly discussed, immediately set out, killing and saving lives at this very moment.
