Chapter 678: Chapter 293 Visit_3
“In addition, this tome also records numerous solutions to various mechanical locks.”
“Others may not need it, but when it comes to solving secret mechanisms, it wouldn’t hurt to take a look—perhaps it could be helpful at a crucial moment.”
“As for the relation they speak of between the Heavenly Craft Treasure Record and Da Xuan’s Armory, that’s all far-fetched.”
“Moreover, without finding the Mysterious Mechanism, one cannot open the arsenal’s door, let alone the fact that nowadays no one knows where the arsenal actually is. It’s simply nonsensical to daydream about it.”
“This…”
Su Mo shook his head gently: “Since this item is a hereditary object of your esteemed sect, how could I, Su, presumptuously claim it?”
“It doesn’t matter.”
The Hidden Sword Hermit shook his head: “There are limited situations where this object could be of help. After all, many skills need to be practiced from a young age to master them… Just like forging the Impermanence Rain Needle, without a decade or more of immersion, it is impossible to craft.”
“After its creation, the methods of installing and assembling are not something that can be mastered in a day or two.”
“Even with this treasure at hand, Su, the Chief of the Escort, would hardly become an expert in crafting hidden weapons.”
“Firstly, it is meant to repay you for saving my life.”
“Secondly… although I won’t engage in an open and above-board fight with the Store Manager—after all, I can’t prevail…”
“Who can tell if some danger might arise? If I were to encounter an accident, resulting in this item falling into their hands, it would not be difficult for them to find skilled craftsmen. According to the records in the book, they could produce a batch of sinister hidden weapons.”
“If that were to happen, the Jianghu would be burdened with even more complications.”
“So, it is also a plea for Su, the Chief of the Escort, to safeguard this for me for a time.”
“As long as I can return alive, I will personally visit Ziyang Escort Agency and reclaim the item.”
Su Mo pondered the words for a moment and then nodded lightly:
“If that’s the case, then I, Su, will temporarily safeguard this item for the Hermit.”
“Good.”
The Hidden Sword Hermit smiled, said no more, and during these three days, he had already prepared all he needed to take care of.
Having entrusted the Heavenly Craft Treasure Record to someone else, he began to gather the corpses from the ground.
He dragged them into the Qingmu Forest.
He then set a fire, burning the entire forest and the corpses to ashes.
Thus completely erasing all traces from this place.
After finishing all this, the Hidden Sword Hermit clasped his hands towards Su Mo in farewell.
He turned around and stepped into the world of Jianghu.
Su Mo’s gaze brushed over the Qingmu Forest, which had turned into a scorched field, before he exhaled gently.
With a tap of his toe, his figure suddenly soared away.
This time, he was no longer using the Divine Transformation; he was using the Capturing Wind and Shadow technique.
Three days before, after handing over the Xinghai Relic Sand Iron to the Hidden Sword Hermit, Su Mo’s system had already completed the settlement that night.
The martial arts he acquired was the Wind God Step.
In the following days, Su Mo tested his new skill. Traveling with Capturing Wind and Shadow, he found his speed was even faster than with Divine Transformation.
If pushed to the extreme, he would pass like the wind, unseen by people, and in an instant, already a thousand miles away.
Of course, this saying did exaggerate a bit, but it reflected the extraordinary nature of this skill.
Apart from using Qinggong for travel, the lethality of the Wind God Step was also exceptional.
Today, the two moves Su Mo used to kill the Red Dust Wanderer and Huo Liao Yuan were derived from the Wind-resisttant Grass and Raging Storm moves in the Wind God Step.
As a result, without exerting much effort, the two men had already died on the spot.
This left Su Mo feeling somewhat unsatisfied.
Using Capturing Wind and Shadow now, his figure nearly merged with the wind, and in a short time, he had already disappeared into Jifeng Mountain.
…
…
One day later.
A group of people arrived at Wusheng Hall.
The leading young man, carrying a Sword Box, walked with a steady gait.
With eyebrows shaped like swords and starry eyes, he had a dignified appearance.
Following him was a beautiful woman holding a long spear. Despite being travel-worn, she retained a stunning allure.
However, her stern demeanor and the spirited look in her brows and eyes were intimidating, enough to make others hesitate to look more.
Following the two were two men.
One, with large fierce eyes and a bearded face, carried a blade on his back and held another in his hand, walking as if he owned the path.
By all appearances, he did not seem like a nice person.
Beside him, a young man seemed somewhat absent-minded, murmuring something to himself occasionally.
Sometimes he would gesticulate, pointing at nothing in the air as if talking to himself.
Lastly, tagging along was a big fat man.
The fat man was carrying a One-legged copper man, which had someone tied to it, attracting attention wherever they went.
This group was naturally led by Su Mo.
The affair at the Hidden Sword Hut, for the time being, had come to an end for Su Mo.
To put it properly, the matter should have ended after he handed over the Xinghai Relic Sand Iron to the Hidden Sword Hermit.
But Su Mo knew that since these people dared not attack him, they would ultimately turn their sights on the Hidden Sword Hermit.
And Su Mo did not really believe the Hermit when he said he would leave that day.
That’s why he returned once, to quietly observe the changes.
Su Mo’s conversation with the Hidden Sword Hermit within the Hidden Sword Hut was genuine.
If it had not been for the Hermit’s decision to perish with his opponents at the end, Su Mo wouldn’t have helped, given he was capable of killing all those attackers.
It wasn’t Su Mo’s place to fight friends’ battles for personal vendettas.
However, being able to save the Hidden Sword Hermit in the end did justify Su Mo’s decision to stay.
As for what will happen to the Store Manager in the future, that’s not something that can be resolved in a day or two.
This man is deeply concealed and will have to wait until the return from Wusheng Hall before Su Mo can confront him.
Setting aside the Store Manager’s matter for now, another issue cannot be delayed.
Visiting Wusheng Hall!
And Wusheng Hall is right before him.
Yet upon arrival, the scene before them caused Su Mo and his companions to be taken aback.
Wusheng Hall was bustling with people coming and going.
After asking around, they learned something.
“The little princess of Wusheng Hall, Wan Yilan… is coming of age!?”
