Chapter 438: Chapter 214: Making a Move

The heavy rain continued to pour.

Inside the ruined temple, all present, except for Su Mo’s side, were dumbfounded.

The old man’s martial arts were extremely formidable; it was only through actual combat that one could truly comprehend his prowess.

The group of five burly men, two of whom wielded sabers, almost lost their lives in a single move.

The leader’s Sun and Moon Ring certainly had its ingenuity, but the old man’s Iron Teeth and Copper Teeth were not to be underestimated either. Although he suffered a slight disadvantage, it was completely negligible.

The leader was almost killed by a single palm strike from the old man.

Only one person remained unharmed, holding a hidden weapon that he had not yet managed to deploy.

Previously, when Wei Ziyi first made a move, they were so dazzled that they thought he was a Heavenly Person!

Such an impressive old man, when faced with Wei Ziyi’s swordplay, could only defend and was completely unable to counterattack. In the end, he barely managed to catch Wei Ziyi’s longsword in an exchange of blows for injuries.

But now… with Su Mo’s intervention, the old man’s struggles turned into child’s play.

Corpse Hanger, impervious to blades and spears, was casually torn apart by Su Mo who grabbed the old man’s neck and sealed his meridians with a probe of Inner Strength.

He completed the motion in one breath, as naturally as an adult disciplining a child, without taking it seriously at all.

How could this not cause everyone present to gasp in shock?

But at this moment, Su Mo suddenly looked towards the door:

“How much longer do you plan to watch?”

With these words, those people were once again shocked and startled.

There were still others?

They had nearly become like startled birds, instinctively turning their heads to look outside the door.

They heard the sound of clothes rustling through the rain, and suddenly, the doorway of the ruined temple had three or four more people.

All were clad in straw raincoats and wearing bamboo hats.

However, from beneath those straw coats, the wet purple outer robes could be seen.

The faces of several burly men changed immediately, recognizing the origin of these newcomers.

And the leader revealed a mature and composed face amidst his dignity.

With a commanding presence, he looked up at Su Mo and nodded slightly:

“Indeed, I couldn’t hide it from you.”

While talking, he walked in, glanced at the old man in Su Mo’s hand, whose face had turned ashen, clearly indicating he was the one pursuing him from behind.

Su Mo raised his eyebrows:

“What exactly is going on?”

“This person sneaked into the sect to probe for information and was discovered. After fighting with me and getting hit by my Ziyang Divine Palm,

“although he practices techniques from E Tao Sect which took me by surprise, I eventually let him escape due to a moment of carelessness.

“Fortunately, our Ziyang Sect’s Inner Strength is the bane of all fierce poisons in the world. Although Corpse Hanger is powerful, it cannot affect my decades of diligently cultivated Pure Yang Internal Skill.

“I immediately led disciples to pursue him… yet unexpectedly, he chose heaven when hell was the only path remaining, and in the end, he ended up in your hands.”

While speaking, he casually removed his bamboo hat and straw coat to reveal his true face.

At a glance, Wei Ziyi immediately clasped his hands in a salute: “Wei Ziyi of Leng Yue Palace greets Senior Duan.”

The person was none other than Duan Song!

At this moment, he exuded an aura of a venerable master with an imposing stature.

Yet, having seen Duan Song’s true personality, Su Mo somehow felt that his demeanor was somewhat foolish…

Duan Song was taken aback for a moment, looking at Wei Ziyi:

“Wei Ziyi… Granddaughter of Wei Ruhan? Are you the disciple from Jiuying?”

“Yes, it is I.”

Wei Ziyi nodded.

Duan Song smiled, “I didn’t expect you’ve grown so much since the last time. Years ago, Su Tianyang wrote to me, wanting me to persuade Jiuying to accept a disciple.

“I didn’t agree, as I knew she would never listen to me.

“I advised him to write a letter himself, as I figured Jiuying could hardly refuse…

“And sure enough, it wasn’t long before the news came out that the Third Palace Master had accepted a baby as a disciple, and so many years have passed since.”

He seemed to reminisce about the past for a moment.

Both Su Mo and Wei Ziyi inadvertently exchanged glances, stunned.

After all this time… Wei Ziyi’s entry into Leng Yue Palace was facilitated by Su Tianyang’s meddling?

Su Mo recalled Wei Ziyi mentioning that it was because Wei Ruhan had begged someone to place her in Lengyue Palace… and it turned out to be his own adoptive father?

For a moment, he was speechless; Jianghu could be expansively vast yet bafflingly small.

Many things were intricately interconnected.

But now, looking again, the relationship between Yang Yizhi of Su Tianyang and Wei Ruhan’s Luofeng Alliance had been intertwined for many years.

Duan Song shook his head at this moment, looking at Su Mo and said with a smile:

“You, young man, have finally arrived.

“At first, I thought you’d come to Ziyang Sect much earlier.

“Everyone there was eagerly awaiting, wondering what kind of outstanding persona Su Tianyang’s wayward son might have.

“But you delayed your arrival by several months.

“Later on, I learned that during this time, you were also escorting a mission for Leng Yue Palace.

“It indeed tired us out, waiting day by day at the sect. Now it’s quite coincidental to meet here.”

Su Mo smiled: “With Alliance Leader Wei needing an escort to Leng Yue Palace, I naturally couldn’t ignore it. As someone opening an escort agency, there’s no reason to turn away business.”
