Martial Arts Escort System: I Got A Maxed Level Divine Technique From The Beginning - Chapter 1152 451: I Was Lying to You_2
“On the contrary, the intelligence about our enemies is laid out before everyone.”
This is indeed a truth.
The more you know about your opponent, the greater the chances of victory.
Yet within one’s own organization, because of the limitations of status, one ends up knowing far less.
However, there are some parts in this person’s words just now that don’t stand up to scrutiny.
The Jinglong Association has always been cautious in its actions.
This is true whether in Nanhai or in Donghuang.
In Nanhai, if the Imperial Dao’s power is immense, even the Dragon King Hall is part of Imperial Dao, their caution is understandable.
But since Donghuang is the domain where Jinglong Association extends its reach.
Then what are they so cautiously guarding against there?
Decades ago, a prominent figure went to Donghuang, likely the Third Jing under Wangliang Courtyard.
Whether this person has ulterior motives is hard to say.
Yet their actions indeed seem incomprehensible.
To claim the failure in Donghuang falls solely on this person would be unjust.
Since the disintegration of the Da Xuan Dynasty, Imperial Dao and the Jinglong Association have already existed.
These two have grown into terrifying forces over nearly three centuries.
What can decades truly change?
Surely one wouldn’t say it took until several decades ago for the Jinglong Association to start developing?
Su Mo’s mind was filled with thoughts, considering either the leader lacked comprehensive understanding, or there was another hidden mystery in Donghuang.
However, Donghuang is almost under complete control now.
Where does this hidden mystery originate from?
Somehow, those messages seen in Baihu City once again surfaced in his mind.
Within Ziyang Sect, beneath the bookshelf in Su Tianyang’s former bedroom, a diary was found which recorded a phrase, inevitably flowing in his mind.
Chi Mei Wang Liang, the ninth day of the ninth lunar month!
He gently closed his eyes, probing a few questions about the Jinglong Association.
But the leader only knew very little indeed.
However, this night has been exceedingly bountiful.
Once confirming there was no valuable intelligence left, Su Mo simply pointed his finger, killing the leader instantly.
Though the person died, his expression was relaxed.
He feared death less than being captured and tortured by Su Mo again.
The agony had already made each moment feel like a lifetime.
If one truly had to endure this torture for a lifetime… it was unimaginable.
In comparison, Lingchi resembled a drizzle.
Compared to it, Pao Lao was more like a gentle breeze.
Seeing this, Su Mo did not hesitate, and after killing all those present, he threw the bodies into the still-burning ruined temple.
The flames roared, engulfing the bodies, thoroughly erasing all traces.
By then, Su Mo finally awakened Lie Huo.
Lie Huo opened his eyes, looking around somewhat confusedly:
“Who ambushed me?”
“A master came just now, knocked you down, and left.”
“???”
Lie Huo looked at Su Mo in bewilderment; how could there be such a tedious master?
Approaching stealthily just to knock him down?
In his view, the one who acted was clearly Su Mo.
Yet looking around, he saw those black-clothed men from Seven Killings Hall were nowhere to be seen, his heart couldn’t help but tighten:
“Where… Where are those few people? Did that master rescue them after knocking me down?”
“That’s right.”
Su Mo nodded: “Before leaving, he told me he remembers you and will come back for you.”
“…”
Lie Huo’s face turned pale, holding onto a shred of hope and asked:
“You’re… You’re deceiving me, right?
“You’re joking with me?”
“Hm.”
Su Mo nodded, looking at him with pity: “Deceiving you.”
“!!!”
If Su Mo had denied it, Lie Huo wouldn’t have necessarily believed him.
However, both Su Mo’s gaze and demeanor were telling him… this was indeed deceiving him.
He wouldn’t live much longer; after this, the people from Seven Killings Hall would definitely come to kill him.
That’s why Su Mo had pity in his eyes.
Because he was going to die.
The claim of deceiving him was simply a kind lie!
To allow him to live a few more peaceful days in his limited life.
Lie Huo’s mind raced wildly, his complexion shifting from pale to blue; his soul seemed detached.
Su Mo cast him a sidelong glance:
“Don’t know what the Taoist’s next plan is?
“Or find a place, huddle together, waiting quietly for death?”
“…”
Lie Huo shook upon hearing this, gritting his teeth:
“Why?
“You… You said just now you have a way to eliminate Seven Killings Hall; is it true or false?”
“Naturally true.”
Su Mo smiled and said: “But this matter requires the Taoist to handle, which might be extremely dangerous.”
“Seeking fortune amidst danger!”
Lie Huo angrily said:
“Damn it, if there’s no way out, even if I die, I must take a few down with me.”
“Good.”
Su Mo nodded: “That’s the spirit of Jianghu seniors, truly an exemplar for us.
“In that case…”
He took out a porcelain bottle from his bosom, poured an elixir and handed it to Lie Huo.
Lie Huo was stunned: “What is this?”
“Poison.”
“You want me to poison myself?”
Lie Huo’s eyes brightened: “Poison those bastards?”
“No, this poison is for you to consume.”
