Chapter 1909 - 697: Encountering Imperial Dao Again_2

"You simply do not understand the benefits of escorting."

Su Mo curled his lip and glanced at the prompt in front of him.

[Mission: Deliver the letter to Beichuan Jiuming Mountain Xuanyin Cave.]

[Do you accept?]

This prompt had appeared before Su Mo’s eyes when Dongmen Yong mentioned using ’Qiankun True Understanding’ as the escort fee.

Yet, Su Mo hesitated.

Whether to accept or not...

Although Dongmen Yong’s words seemed plausible.

Moreover, he said Su Tianyang was being sent to Jiuming Mountain Xuanyin Cave.

In this way, Su Mo was obliged to make a trip in terms of both reason and emotion.

But he always felt that there was something not quite right in the old man’s words.

It was hard to pinpoint exactly where the problem lay for the moment.

Looking at Dongmen Yong’s mutilated body in his hand, Su Mo gently shook his head, deciding to carefully consider after leaving the depths in the clouds.

Additionally, until Dongmen Yong died, Su Mo never figured out what the chess game he left behind meant?

Moreover, in Qiankun Cave, besides this chess game, there were several everlasting candles.

Su Mo was even more at a loss as to the mystery within.

Now that Dongmen Yong is dead, these matters may forever remain secrets.

As thoughts turned in his mind, the second floor had already been reached.

The space here was still extremely spacious.

However, what was placed was no longer bookshelves.

Instead, there were rows of racks.

The racks were filled with various rare treasures.

The floor was also piled with gold and silver like mountains.

Under the blazing light, it shone brightly.

At first sight, it was hard not to be thrilled.

"So much silver and gold!"

Wei Ziyi blinked and glanced at Su Mo:

"How much of this was plundered from Donghuang?"

Su Mo heard this and smiled:

"Your words have indeed reminded me.

"What attitude do you think Jinglong Association holds towards Donghuang?

"First, they fear Ziyang Sect.

"Second, they openly amass wealth in Donghuang.

"Dongmen Yong said that Ziyang Sect’s purpose is quite different from Imperial Dao and Jinglong Association.

"They do not aspire to the world.

"So, where is their aspiration?"

Wei Ziyi heard this, went silent for a while, then looked at Su Mo:

"The true purpose of Ziyang Sect, I do not know.

"However...

"Sect Leader Elder Li of Ziyang Sect genuinely holds you in high regard.

"I find it hard to imagine if even he harbors thoughts of concealing something from you...

"Then, is there anyone in this world who is truly trustworthy?"

Su Mo was silent for a moment before lightly nodding:

"Seeing is not necessarily believing... true and false, it is all unclear.

"They all say something will happen in Pure Yang Hall on the ninth day of the ninth lunar month.

"Since that’s the case, I’ll return to Ziyang Sect on the ninth day of the ninth lunar month and take a careful look."

"Exactly."

Wei Ziyi nodded, then laughed:

"Overall, we can say we’ve returned victorious from our venture into the depths in the clouds, right?"

Su Mo looked at Dongmen Yong’s corpse in his hand but shook his head:

"Whose victory this truly belongs to is hard to say."

Continuing upwards.

Upon reaching the third floor, the surroundings held fewer items.

But also much more important.

No longer were bookshelves exposed, but rows of cabinets.

Inside were precious collections, all martial arts practiced by previous Emperors.

There was the secret book of Emperor’s Shocking World Letter of the Sixth Shock.

Also, the Supreme Qi Divine Technique of the Fifth Shock.

And the Sitting Forget Jade Heart Scripture of the Fourth Shock...

In addition, there were more than a dozen Absolute Skills.

Every one, if cultivated to the peak, would be top experts.

"Any one of these martial arts, released into Jianghu, would surely incite a series of bloody struggles and snatching.

"Yet, they are all collected by Jinglong Association..."

Wei Ziyi casually gave a glance, stunned by these martial arts.

Su Mo, at some point, had already found a large thick cloth.

Spread it on the ground, threw these Martial Arts Secret Manuals onto it.

Wei Ziyi came to his senses.

At once joined in the busy collection.

Zhen Xiaoxiao even more enthusiastically picked up a cabinet, turned it upside down, and shook...

Emptying its contents.

Several people tidied up, almost cleaning out the entire floor.

Finally, three items were placed before Su Mo and the others.

One was the Secret Message Box.

Many years back, a Mechanical Master in Xizhou crafted three Secret Message Boxes.

The first was rendered useless once he forgot its solution.

Subsequently, another was used to store the Xuantian Treasure Seal.

The last was here.

Next to it lay the secret message of the box.

Su Mo carefully compared and memorized the contents, then set about opening the box.

With prior experience.

This time, the speed was much faster.

In but a moment, the Secret Message Box was opened by him.

The contents, however, did not bring forth the stunning surprise akin to the Xuantian Treasure Seal.

What was taken out, to Su Mo, though not a disappointment, was without much amazement.

Wei Ziyi raised her eyebrows:

"Mysterious Mechanism?"

"Indeed..."

Su Mo held the Mysterious Mechanism in his hand, the familiar texture and shape made him instantly recognize it was genuine.

Across the world, no one understood this object more than Su Mo.

And having this Mysterious Mechanism in hand, it was like possessing six such mechanisms.

Just one was left; once found, Da Xuan’s Armory could be opened.
