Chapter 463: Chapter 222 Dead?_2

As a result, they discovered that the destination of this group was not far from the inn they were staying at, only separated by three streets.

Su Mo and Wei Ziyi exchanged a look, keeping their distance, simply standing atop a building, coldly observing from afar.

They had no intention to stir up trouble; at most, they were just there to watch the excitement.

Wei Ziyi then tugged at Su Mo’s sleeve and pointed in a direction.

Su Mo looked over and saw the sign hanging on the building, which bore four large characters: Penglai Inn!

“These people are indeed here to trouble Wan Cangxin.”

Su Mo was not surprised in the least.

Liu Suifeng’s journey to Tianqu City had been fraught with difficulty.

How could Wan Cangxin be safe and sound within Tianqu City?

The storm that had been stirred up could not be calmed by anyone before the Tianqu Sword Competition commenced.

Even after the Tianqu Sword Competition, it would not necessarily be peaceful.

Meanwhile, someone had already reached the rooftop of that courtyard, stealthily taking out a roll of thread from his bosom.

After pulling out a thread end, he gradually fed it down through the cracks of the roof tiles.

This person was indeed very patient; not only patient, but his hands were steady. After a time equivalent to one pot of tea had passed, he finally stopped his hand.

Then, while still holding the thread, he took out a small porcelain bottle and a straw from his pocket with his other hand.

Inserting the straw into his mouth, he picked up the porcelain bottle, flicking it open between two fingers with ease.

With the straw now in the porcelain bottle, he hesitated only a moment before drawing nearly half the straw’s volume.

After taking it out, he dipped the straw onto the thread, slowly pushing it outwards.

The poison from within the porcelain bottle traveled down the thread.

This was a poisoning method commonly used in Jianghu.

The other end of the thread would often be near a teacup, or the spout of a teapot.

If the target was highly skilled in martial arts, or exceptionally brilliant in Qinggong, the poison could enter the teacup undetected.

One sip and the outcome was self-evident.

Right now, the person who was poisoning was doing just this, attempting to stealthily poison someone inside the room.

Meanwhile, hidden figures in the surroundings waited to see if this person could succeed…

But just then, the person who appeared calm and oblivious to the outside world, focused solely on handling the poison, suddenly rolled his eyes back, his face showing a surge of black energy at once.

Before he could make a sound, he had flipped over and tumbled off the roof.

As the person fell through the air, his limbs had already gone stiff, clearly he was dead.

Wei Ziyi and Su Mo watched from a distance, and upon seeing this scene, Wei Ziyi was slightly startled:

“What happened?”

Her martial arts were not bad, and her eyesight was extraordinary, but she couldn’t make out the details of the situation.

Su Mo smiled:

“He didn’t expect that at this time Wan Cangxin had not yet slept. Not only had he not slept, but when this person administered the poison along the thread, it was driven back by Wan Cangxin’s Inner Strength.

“He held the straw in his mouth, which seemed dangerous but was actually cautious, and not a bit went into his mouth.

“However, when Wan Cangxin’s Inner Strength sent the poison back, it inadvertently entered his stomach.

“The potent ’instant death’ poison he was deploying against others was, in a blink, turned upon himself.”

“Oh?”

Wei Ziyi raised her eyebrows: “It seems that Wan Cangxin’s Inner Strength is indeed extraordinary. His level of mastery aside, at least this ability to control it as if it were an extension of his limbs is impressive!”

“Mm.”

Su Mo nodded, glancing into the distance: “Tonight, all who came to cause trouble are here, others are watching from afar, not daring to step forward.

“We are fortunate; the Tianqu Sword Competition has not yet arrived, but we have already had the pleasure to witness the Heavenly Spring Heart Cleansing Sword.”

Indeed, as Su Mo’s words fell, a light laughter emanated from within the courtyard:

“Esteemed peers of Jianghu have graced us with your presence, Wan Cangxin is deeply honored.

“Right now, I have prepared modest wine and tea. How about we all enjoy a drink together?”

Upon hearing this voice, both Su Mo and Wei Ziyi simultaneously raised their eyebrows.

This voice, they had heard before!

Above Along the River, during the alliance at the Water Fort, Qi Shaoming advanced across the waves only to be injured by Su Mo.

Then, a masked person descended from the sky, exhibiting supreme Qinggong, and abducted Qi Shaoming on the run.

The voice of that person was now indistinguishable from the one of Wan Cangxin.

“He…”

Wei Ziyi glanced at Su Mo.

Su Mo gently waved his hand to calm her down.

Wei Ziyi raised her eyebrows: “Is it really him?”

“Really?”

Su Mo raised his eyebrows, turning to look at Wei Ziyi: “Miss Wei, did you have a premonition about this person’s identity?”

“I’m not stupid…”

Wei Ziyi pouted, her true nature revealed, no longer the image she had initially projected, which was now shattered.

But after all, she was still the Eighth Alliance Leader of the Luofeng Alliance.

Cunning and deep-thinking.

Indeed, at the Star Viewing Platform, when Chu Qiuyu mentioned the three major events Wan Cangxin undertook in Dongcheng, Wei Ziyi had her suspicions.

What were the three major actions performed by Wan Cangxin?

The first was to expose the Evil People from the Demon Sect hidden within the Huayang Sect.

The second was to settle the conflict between two Sects.

The third was to traverse hundreds of miles to eradicate evil from the land.

When Chu Qiuyu finished describing these events, the only possibility that came to Wei Ziyi’s mind was…

Wan Cangxin was building momentum!

The traces were all too clear.
