Chapter 1909 Azure Dragon and White Tiger (2)

His mouth opened slightly, forming the mouth shape for ’Your Highness’.

Su Mo was momentarily speechless.

Without further words, under the guidance of these two people, Su Mo’s group quickly reached a location.

Just after passing a few treetops, Su Mo already sensed someone spying on them.

A little further ahead, someone appeared.

They were about to speak up and question him.

But before they could speak, the two middle-aged men beside Su Mo hurriedly said:

"Your Highness is here in person, quickly invite the Two Saint masters to greet him."

Your Highness?

Those blocking the path were stunned for a moment, and then suddenly understood.

They immediately turned around and rushed inside to report.

Su Mo calmly observed all around and said with a smile:

"This place you all have chosen is quite nice.

"However, it seems there aren’t too many people."

"Your Highness, please allow me to explain."

The middle-aged man quickly said:

"We are merely the advance force here, mainly gathering information.

"Once we discover anything, everyone around is ours."

"Ours?"

Su Mo smiled slightly.

"Naturally, ours."

The middle-aged man quickly said:

"The Taoist Master has long ordered that Your Highness is the surviving lineage of the Da Xuan Imperial Family.

"Our Imperial Dao is the Imperial Guard of Da Xuan.

"If we meet Your Highness, we must regard him as our master!"

Su Mo became somewhat thoughtful.

As he was pondering, he saw a man and a woman leading a group of people hurrying out.

Their attire somewhat surprised Su Mo.

Unlike the usual attire of Jianghu people, it somewhat resembled the flying fish robes worn by Jinyi Guard in TV dramas.

However, upon closer inspection, there were differences.

This man’s age was not small.

At least around forty, steady in steps, commanding respect without anger.

Face full of sternness, appearing just and unyielding, with an imposing presence.

The woman seemed younger, probably in her twenties.

A face full of heroic spirit, her eyes gleaming with divine light, suggesting remarkable Inner Strength.

The two approached swiftly.

Their gaze swept over everyone and finally landed on Su Mo.

Without a word, they knelt:

"Greetings, Your Highness!!"

Su Mo waved his hand:

"Please rise, there is no need to mention the title, Your Highness, anymore.

"I know the Imperial Dao has always referred to itself as the ministers of Da Xuan.

"But for me, Da Xuan has perished hundreds of years ago.

"The so-called surviving lineage of the Da Xuan Imperial Family was something Jiang Lan mentioned to me back then, which bears no real feeling for me.

"Now that we meet in Jianghu, let’s not adhere to the rules of the former dynasty."

The two were momentarily stunned upon hearing these words.

The man said softly:

"Perhaps for Your Highness, it holds no real feeling.

"But for us, it has been awaited for a long time.

"Knowing that Your Highness is handling Jinglong Association in Xizhou, the Taoist Master immediately ordered the Imperial Dao to march into Xizhou to support the king.

"We humbly ask Your Highness, in light of our dedication, not to reject this title..."

What a large-scale march into Xizhou to support the king...

Su Mo was at a loss for words for a moment.

He shook his head but didn’t insist further:

"Whatever you say...

"May I know your names?"

"Subordinate Cheng Zhenlu of Azure Dragon!"

The man’s voice was thunderous as he clasped his fists.

The woman also clasped her fists, her voice clear:

"Subordinate White Tiger Qu Hongzhuang!"

Su Mo nodded gently and said:

"On this journey, I used some means to enter deep in the clouds, and quite a few things happened there.

"After coming out, I discovered your Imperial Dao nearby, which made me think of meeting with you.

"Not for anything else, but simply to have you introduce me to the Taoist Master."

In terms of sentiment and reason, Su Mo and the Taoist Master of Imperial Dao must meet.

The right and wrong need a conclusion, without entanglement.

Dongmen Yong repeatedly warned him to be cautious of Imperial Dao.

Although Su Mo never fully trusted the old rogue’s words, feeling he might deceive him even after death,

he agreed with being cautious about Imperial Dao.

But caution is one thing.

Since the Imperial Dao is now in Xizhou, Su Mo couldn’t just ignore them.

Burying his head in the sand isn’t the solution.

Direct confrontation is the best way.

Thus, instead of waiting for the Imperial Dao to approach, it would be better to visit them in person.

Moreover, he planned to go to Beichuan next.

Regardless, the journey to Beichuan was inevitable.

Dongmen Yong might be lying, or they might be truthful.

Su Mo could be careless about other matters.

But when it concerned Su Tianyang, even a one in ten thousand chance couldn’t be ignored.

Thus, Su Mo accepted the system’s task earlier.

Since he was heading to Beichuan, meeting the Taoist Master in advance was clearly necessary.

After hearing these words from Su Mo, Cheng Zhenlu and Qu Hongzhuang didn’t hesitate, nodding immediately:

"Of course, indeed the Taoist Master should personally come to pay respects to Your Highness.

"In fact, the Taoist Master holds the same thought.

"That’s why they led Vermilion Bird and Xuanwu to a battle at Jinglong Hall.

"Just waiting for the post-battle period to visit Imperial Court Mountain and pay respects to Your Highness.

"But unexpectedly, Your Highness arrived at Jinglong Association first..."

"The Taoist Master went to Imperial Court Mountain?"

Su Mo raised an eyebrow slightly.

The battle at Jinglong Hall hardly needed mentioning.

Without Longmen Jing Emperor presiding, victory in this battle was certain.

Now, the battle was probably already over.

"Indeed."

Cheng Zhenlu nodded.

"If so, then I will return to Imperial Court Mountain to await their arrival."
