Chapter 1905 - 696: Heaven Pointing Wheel

Su Mo’s mind stirred slightly.

Among this series of events, what intrigued him the most was what Su Tianyang said to Dongmen Yong after going to Wangliang Courtyard years ago.

Upon hearing Dongmen Yong’s words now, he naturally focused intently, waiting quietly.

This time, Dongmen Yong did not keep him guessing.

He spoke softly:

"Su Tianyang was actually quite smart.

"His martial arts were mediocre.

"He was full of benevolence and morality, with a mind set on the Righteous Path.

"Seeing me, he immediately shouted to attack and kill.

"Had it not been for his use of Ziyang Sect’s martial arts, I would have killed him with one palm then and there.

"But... I obtained the Nine Purple Fierce Sun Burning Sky Technique from the Ziyang Sect.

"Encountering people from the Ziyang Sect naturally made it difficult to act ruthlessly.

"After subduing him, I chatted casually with him for a bit.

"Though he was guarded, I still detected some clues.

"I realized that due to various reasons, he had already met with Jinglong Association.

"Thus, I decided to be open with him.

"At that time, I did not reveal my deep-seated hatred against Jinglong Association.

"I merely explained the situation with Jinglong Association to him.

"Upon knowing that such a formidable power stood behind the Three Extremes Sect, he was dumbfounded.

"In his eyes, they were adversaries he could never afford to provoke.

"Even the Ziyang Sect appeared insignificant and trivial in comparison.

"From that point, I did not make things difficult for him.

"And he did not leave.

"Thus, we spent a few days together in my underground retreat.

"In the cave, where neither the sun nor moon could be seen, the duration remained unknown to me.

"One day, he suddenly asked me about Jinglong Association’s ruthlessness in severing loose ends.

"I realized then that fear had taken hold of his heart.

"He didn’t fear personal honor or life and death, but worried that those around him might suffer because of it.

"He was deeply entangled, unable to extricate himself.

"He intended to end everything himself, hoping all stories would conclude there.

"Even though I knew it was impossible, I didn’t hinder him.

"Instead, I taught him how to erase traces.

"Taking all matters upon himself alone.

"Finally letting him ’die’ in Jianghu.

"Everything would vanish like smoke with his death.

"This rationale was grounded on my understanding of Jinglong Association, coupled with forces I could mobilize in Donghuang.

"Their matter could be deemed large or small.

"Reporting it to Jinglong Headquarters was unnecessary, solely regarding the Three Extremes Sect in Donghuang, I could make them abandon their original plans with minimal effort.

"Su Tianyang believed that by his death, he could avoid everything.

"Yet unaware... without my aid, even his entire Su family might have faced extinction..."

Dongmen Yong spoke to this point in one breath, his expression growing somewhat grave.

He then shook his head:

"The situation with the Su family is indeed hard to articulate.

"The Ziyang Sect’s attitude towards the Su family remains elusive.

"Alliance Leader Su’s intelligence surpasses that of his father.

"I just offer you a reminder... don’t trust the Ziyang Sect!"

But as these words fell, he shook his head again:

"Forget it, I have spoken too much.

"Since Alliance Leader Su knows these things, he has his own measure in mind...

"It was I who arranged for Su Tianyang’s assassination.

"But because of that, he couldn’t die.

"Even if everyone believed him dead, even he felt he had died.

"But I wouldn’t let him die, so he couldn’t."

"Did you intervene in the process?"

Su Mo’s expression remained unmoved, looking coldly at Dongmen Yong:

"So, he truly didn’t die?"

Wei Ziyi’s heart tightened.

This matter was truly significant.

Not only her, but Yang Xiaoyun and Little Situ were also very concerned about it.

After all, the matter involved Su Mo’s father.

"Not dead, but neither alive.

"The fear of death revived him.

"Moreover, at the time the Three Extremes Sect had already found some traces.

"Though watching under my influence, they dared not act, but if given concrete evidence...

"Destroying your Ziyang Escort Agency, and Iron Blood Escort Agency would be effortlessly easy for them.

"Thus, after surviving at the brink of death, your father...

"Had a home he could not return to and dared not show up in Luoxia City, otherwise, countless lives from your two families, big and small, would become ghosts.

"Merely... I never expected your mother to be so deeply and sincerely devoted to your father.

"With Su Tianyang’s ’death,’ she actually passed away from grief.

"And hence... your father is truly dead.

"Though alive, his heart is dead, which is no different from being dead.

"But this suits my purposes just as well.

"I told him that Jinglong Association would absolutely not give up on this matter so easily.

"Whether it be the Iron Blood Escort Agency or your life, Su Mo, an end could come at any time.

"To truly recover everything, leaving Jianghu by ’death’ is just the first step."

Su Mo slightly narrowed his eyes:

"Did he believe?"

"He didn’t believe."

Dongmen Yong replied with a smile:

"He seemed to be forthright but was cunning in thought.

"Just, at that point, he no longer cared.
