Capítulo 1301: Chapter 501: Setting a Trap for the Enemy
“Gao Tianqi brought trouble upon himself.
“He orchestrated his own assassination at the docks, hoping to make a big deal out of it.
“Yet unexpectedly, the ‘good knife’ he crafted with his own hands ended up in someone else’s possession.
“Instead, he himself was slashed and bloodied by this knife.
“Truly laughable.”
Thirty miles outside Tianqi City, near the edge of Tianqi Island, lies a mountain called Purple Jade Mountain.
Purple Jade Mountain is high, situated at the border of Tianqi Island.
On the side close to the coast, there is a ten-thousand-foot cliff.
The mountain range extends on both sides, with one side connecting to Tianqi Island’s pier, while the other side stretches into the deep mountains.
Within those deep mountains, the paths are complex, winding and confusing, very difficult to traverse.
Hence, this place serves as a natural barrier.
After all, few masters can climb a ten-thousand-foot peak as if walking on flat ground.
Yet at this moment, at the foot of Purple Jade Mountain, a group of people is stationed.
The one speaking is a middle-aged scholar.
He is thin, with a scholar robe draping loosely over him.
As he speaks, he shakes his head disdainfully at Gao Tianqi.
Beside him are two other individuals.
One is an old man in black clothes, standing not far away, arms folded, gazing toward Tianqi City.
The other is a woman dressed in light purple clothing.
Her attire is luxurious and intricate, with a layer of purple veil covering her face, concealing her true appearance.
Upon hearing the scholar speak, the old man coldly responds:
“Gao Tianqi’s conspiracy and schemes have always been unworthy of elegance.
“This occasion is not unusual.
“I am rather interested in the black clothed man that night.
“This person single-handedly broke through the formation, even with the presence of the Nanhai Alliance’s three Great Elders, none could stop him.
“The leaders were like chickens and dogs, easily defeated.
“Such a heroic figure, I regret not being able to meet him.”
“Speaking of this person…”
The middle-aged scholar shakes his head:
“Xiao He communicated that we should hurry here, stating there is no conspiracy between Qi Dingtian and Gao Tianqi.
“The two are indeed at the point of revealing their daggers.
“However, beyond this matter, he also mentioned Su, the Chief of the Ziyang Escort Agency.
“So… what is this person’s background?
“Dark Dragon Hall is well-informed, yet even the leaders of the Eight sects are unaware.
“Is it because Dark Dragon Hall hasn’t mentioned them, or is there another reason?”
“Perhaps just a pretender seeking fame.”
The old man in black shakes his head slightly, glancing at the scholar:
“You have always been oblivious to matters outside your window. You wouldn’t know, this person is now being widely talked about.
“It is said that within the Nanhai Alliance territory, there is a Longmu Island…”
The old man in black seems well-versed in these affairs.
Within moments, he lays out all the rumors he has heard regarding Su Mo.
After finishing his talk, he does not forget to hum:
“Jianghu rumors claim this person’s martial arts are among the top in Nanhai.
“Comparable to the Nanhai Alliance Leader, Island Master of Gui Xu Island, and our Hall Master.
“However, this person is very young, not yet thirty.
“These rumors are likely exaggerated.”
“Regardless, this time we can at least meet this person and judge for ourselves.”
The middle-aged scholar smiles slightly, but after smiling, he can’t help but frown:
“By the way… where has the Hall Master gone?”
“The Hall Master said he had other important matters here and told us to wait for Xiao He’s news.”
The old man in black shakes his head slightly and sighs.
The middle-aged scholar and the woman both frown.
The middle-aged scholar then speaks in a low voice:
“The Hall Master is likely seeking out Dark Dragon Hall again?
“If you ask me, Dark Dragon Hall harbors ill intentions. Drawing on its ancestral association, it used to act as the shadow of our Dragon King Hall, which was acceptable.
“But now it clearly aims to usurp authority.
“The Hall Master’s past actions were at least strategically diplomatic.
“But now he listens and obeys in all matters, even the leaders of the Eight sects look to Dark Dragon Hall as their master.
“If this continues… Dragon King Hall might as well be renamed Dark Dragon Hall.”
“Be cautious in speech…”
The old man in black furrows his brow slightly: “He is ultimately the Hall Master and should not be criticized behind his back.”
“Year after year, the flowers remain the same, yet people change.
“In the end, people’s hearts are prone to change… enough.”
The middle-aged scholar shakes his head and sighs: “It’s lamentable that over the years, we have never managed to find the Dragon King Mirror. Otherwise… why would our Dragon King Hall be so cautious?”
“This matter must remain undisclosed. If people find out that Dragon King Hall has lost the Dragon King Mirror…
“Neither the Nanhai Alliance nor Gui Xu Island will hesitate to challenge us.”
The old man in black furrows his brow tightly as he speaks.
Before he can say more, the woman among the trio suddenly looks up.
She makes a low, urgent whistle.
In the next moment, a white dove lands helplessly in her hands.
She takes the letter tube attached to the dove’s leg and retrieves a secret letter.
After reading it, she rises abruptly:
“The Qi Family is in turmoil, Gao Tianqi is furious, and now Tianqi City is in chaos.”
“Did Xiao He send a letter?”
The middle-aged scholar and the old man in black speak simultaneously.
The woman nods slightly.
The old man in black’s face darkens, while the middle-aged scholar furrows his brow:
