Chapter 1726 - 637: Human Escort (Part 2)

"To make me trust him, the prerequisite is that when this token appears, I won’t directly capture the person holding the token and subject him to severe torture.

"For him to achieve this, he must do something to make me believe in him.

"It’s precisely because of this point that I thought of cooperating with the Third Jing."

"Wait, wait..."

Ling Hongxia rubbed her forehead:

"Let me sort this out...

"Setting aside whether the letter is true or false, the purpose of the Third Jing writing this letter is to make us believe him?

"Is that the reasoning?"

"Exactly."

Su Mo nodded.

"But why?"

Ling Hongxia looked confused: "Why does he, as the Third Jing of Longmen, want us to believe him? Unless he is really that treacherous fellow, otherwise why should we believe him?"

A treacherous fellow indeed...

Su Mo was laughing and crying at the same time:

"Do you remember... I told everyone about what happened in the Martial God Temple?"

Everyone was stunned by his words.

Inside the Martial God Temple, the Third Jing plotted against the Sixth Jing, causing the Sixth Jing to die aggrieved.

The weirdness of this matter is almost identical to this letter.

Su Mo spoke quietly:

"I’ve been thinking, is it possible that...

"The Third Jing also has his own motives, and they conflict with those of the Jinglong Association?

"So, years ago, he went to Donghuang and never wanted to return to Xizhou.

"Afterwards, he even imprisoned himself under the Wangliang Courtyard, not venturing into Jianghu for years."

Su Mo’s hypothesis was indeed bold.

Everyone exchanged glances.

But when thinking about this Third Jing’s life.

They couldn’t say that Su Mo’s assumption was absurd.

To sum it up, the Third Jing came from the Jinglong Association and held a high position.

After entering Donghuang, he essentially lost contact with the Jinglong Association.

Secretly persuading Jun Luo, influencing the Night Lord, and creating chaos in Donghuang.

Just from this, it shows that this Third Jing likely harbors ulterior motives.

After all, from the Three Extremes Sect’s peculiar Sect Leader, it was known that the original intention of the Third Jing in going to Donghuang years ago wasn’t to meddle here and there.

But to search for something.

Yet he didn’t look for that thing, instead causing all kinds of chaos, like a dragon appearing and disappearing.

This is fundamentally unreasonable.

Not to mention, the Third Jing’s scheme against the Sixth Jing inside the Martial God Temple.

From the mouth of the Blood Lotus Sect Leader, it’s not hard to tell.

Above the Sixth Jing is where the true core of the Jinglong Association lies.

The Third Jing’s actions are an authentic betrayal.

Even at that time, the Sixth Jing couldn’t have imagined that the crucial note given to him by the Third Jing actually said, ’The road to hell is far, you should go first.’

These eight words that pit people to death.

Yang Yizhi took a deep breath, stood up, and paced back and forth:

"Mo’er, can you be certain?"

"No."

Su Mo shook his head:

"Right now, it’s just relying on a letter from the Third Jing that’s hard to distinguish between true and false. In the end, what I said is just a possibility.

"It can’t be confirmed as a fact.

"But, if we make this assumption...

"Then the reason why the Third Jing wants us to trust him would make sense.

"Because, it’s possible he also wants to deal with the Jinglong Association!

"And if this is indeed his motive, then pretending to speak in my late father’s name would make sense.

"Because he needs our hesitation and doubt, rather than immediately killing him upon sight.

"In fact, I also thought of something.

"Although the letter is most likely fake, the content within it aligns with our knowledge.

"Some matters can only be known by my late father.

"Could it be that the Third Jing learned these after my late father visited the Wangliang Courtyard and met this Third Jing?

"Did they have a frank and open discussion?"

"Are you saying that the reason the Third Jing could write such a deceptive letter is because... your father once confided in him?"

Yang Yizhi let out a breath:

"This can indeed be explained.

"But in that case... what should we do next?

"I can’t feel at ease letting you recklessly have contact with such a person."

"No need for contact, on the contrary, it’s he who doesn’t dare to make contact, not me."

Su Mo chuckled:

"Otherwise, why leave a letter? Wouldn’t it be better to wait directly at Qiankun Cave?

"This person is probably an enemy rather than a friend.

"The so-called cooperation is just a saying, in reality, it’s just manipulation.

"Let’s see if we can use this person to uncover some of this thick fog!

"In the worst case, if he truly wants to dig them out and capture them all, aren’t we holding the same thought?"

Everyone nodded simultaneously after exchanging glances upon hearing this.

Yang Yizhi spoke softly:

"Then what exactly should we do?"

"On the fifth day of the fifth lunar month at Weiyang Palace, what we previously discussed, I’ve already arranged."

Su Mo smiled:

"When the time comes, we should make a big commotion.

"At that moment, if this person is indeed at Weiyang Palace... there is much to be done!"

Upon hearing Su Mo’s plan, Yang Yizhi, Yu Lingxin, and Ling Hongxia then remembered that on the fifth day of the fifth lunar month at Weiyang Palace, Su Mo had orchestrated a grand play.

If this Third Jing is indeed inside Weiyang Palace at that time.

This would be their best opportunity!

With this thought, everyone immediately began to research again.

Meanwhile, Su Mo, while speaking, glanced at the Blood Lotus Sect Leader who was writing diligently.
