Chapter 1562 - 586: Feigning Friendship, Concealing Hostility (Part 3)
"They started fighting, they started fighting!"
Shi Cheng saw it and was instantly thrilled, enjoying the spectacle without caring about the chaos.
He spoke while nudging Master Kong Yan.
Master Kong Yan let his beard be swept around due to the shaking and could only say:
"First, shut your damned mouth.
"Stay quiet and watch carefully. If there’s a chance, we’ll sneak a stab at him, sending this bastard to meet Buddha."
Shi Cheng nodded repeatedly upon hearing this.
He felt that since the old monk broke his silent meditation, he finally said something sensible.
His thoughts shifted, and he remembered another matter:
"Right, Master, you said you followed my father here earlier?
"Is my father nearby?"
Upon hearing this, Master Kong Yan’s eyes widened suddenly:
"How would this old monk know?
"Didn’t I just say earlier?
"You father and son are like rabbits, darting everywhere at the slightest distraction.
"There’s clearly only one path, yet you still manage to get lost.
"Who knows where your father has wandered off to?"
"..."
Shi Cheng was speechless and stared at the scene, seeing The Sixth Surprise turning his hand for a strike, causing the Infinite Qiankun to suddenly return, seamlessly falling into the hands of Xu Huai Valley.
Then, The Sixth Surprise chuckled slightly:
"Lord Xu, what is this?
"Didn’t we already agree to join forces against Su Mo?
"Why suddenly attack me now?"
Shi Cheng heard this and furrowed his brows.
As expected, Su Mo attracts trouble, so these top-tier masters can only band together to fight against him.
But where is Su Mo now?
If he arrives, then there’s no need for me to worry here anymore.
The Sixth Surprise’s words had a chilling effect, making Xu Huai Valley furious:
"How absurd!
"You know we had an understanding?
"Then how dare you secretly attack and steal my divine skill?
"Saying this now isn’t too late? If you want to ally, hand over the Nine Revolutions Divine Dragon Technique first, or one of us must die here."
"I see."
The Sixth Surprise chuckled silently:
"For a divine skill secret book from thousands of years ago, why must the Island Master be so concerned?
"Fine, if you want this Nine Revolutions Divine Dragon Technique, I will give it to you.
"However, there’s a matter that requires Lord Xu’s help in planning."
"Stop wasting time, hand over the Nine Revolutions Divine Dragon Technique first!"
Xu Huai Valley had no other thoughts; what he got from The Sixth Surprise should be returned before discussing anything else.
The Sixth Surprise glanced at him, smiled slightly, took out the Nine Revolutions Divine Dragon Technique’s secret scroll from his bosom, and threw it to Xu Huai Valley.
Xu Huai Valley quickly caught it in his hand, examined it carefully to confirm it was correct, then smiled:
"Very well, The Sixth Surprise is indeed a trustworthy man. Speak freely about your matters."
This statement is actually somewhat inaccurate.
The agreement between them was already broken when The Sixth Surprise secretly attacked and took the Nine Revolutions Divine Dragon Technique.
However, with Su Mo in front, they had no other choice.
Since The Sixth Surprise is willing to retreat for now, Xu Huai Valley, having the Nine Revolutions Divine Dragon Technique in hand, naturally wouldn’t mind being gracious.
Originally, The Sixth Surprise thought Xu Huai Valley would die at Su Mo’s hands.
With the delay caused by him and the Dark Dragon Hall Master, if Su Mo came here, he would have to pass through the Heaven and Earth Four Extremes Thousand Stele Array, allowing The Sixth Surprise to take the Emperor’s Shocking World Book to a high level.
Unexpectedly, Su Mo let Xu Huai Valley escape.
He came here to cause trouble.
This move could either be intentional by Su Mo or simply couldn’t stop Xu Huai Valley, still undecided.
But in any case, Xu Huai Valley must be stabilized first.
Otherwise, the situation truly would be dire.
Because he didn’t hesitate to hand over the Nine Revolutions Divine Dragon Technique.
At this moment, he spoke in a deep voice:
"The Absolute Skill I’ve cultivated requires using this Heaven and Earth Four Extremes Thousand Stele Array’s suppressed Qiyun Transformation Technique, drawing this Qiyun onto myself, then I can confront Su Mo at the highest level.
"Lord Xu, since you’ve arrived here, it seems likely Su Mo isn’t far away.
"Please, Lord Xu, stop him for a while, give me time to cultivate the divine skill!!"
Upon hearing this, Xu Huai Valley’s heart sank.
If you achieved the divine skill and killed Su Mo, you wouldn’t allow me any way to survive?
If you couldn’t kill Su Mo, he also wouldn’t let me survive.
Now that I have the Nine Revolutions Divine Dragon Technique, staying in the Martial God Temple is pointless.
But trying to leave, it seems unlikely.
Returning the same way would make Su Mo laugh in sleep.
Yet, he doesn’t know any other paths... How should he proceed?
Mind racing with thoughts, he verbally agreed:
"I wondered what the big matter was, turns out there’s this mystical aspect. If so, The Sixth Surprise, cultivate here peacefully.
"I will block Su Mo for you... However, I must say ahead, this person’s martial arts are incredibly formidable.
"With only my strength, I fear I cannot block him.
"If things don’t synchronize, I can only focus on preserving myself, hoping The Sixth Surprise will understand."
This statement enhances credibility.
The Sixth Surprise nodded lightly upon hearing it:
"Of course, but don’t worry, Island Master, although Su Mo’s martial arts are supreme, he is entirely unfamiliar with arrays.
"Island Master can use this array to maneuver with him.
"Also... Island Master must understand, despite minor conflicts between us, ultimately, we’re in the same boat, only Su Mo is our true enemy!
"Don’t be confused."
"The Sixth Surprise overthinks."
Xu Huai Valley laughed heartily:
"I naturally understand."
Having said this, he turned and entered the Bei Forest.
The Sixth Surprise watched Xu Huai Valley’s back, his face changing.
Suddenly, he seemed to sense something, quickly looking up towards one place.
A place where Shi Cheng and Master Kong Yan were hiding.
Yet, upon glancing, it was already empty.
The Sixth Surprise breathed out lightly, feeling the situation had spun out of his control.
He regretted going after that Nine Revolutions Divine Dragon Technique...
This act truly blinded him with greed.
But now it’s too late for regret.
So he closed his eyes, continuing to cultivate the Emperor’s Shocking World Book.
Yet vaguely heard violent rumblings from afar, looked up but saw nothing, momentarily puzzled:
"Could there be more mystical elements within the Martial God Temple?"
