Chapter 720: Chapter 307: Identifying Wan Yutang_3
But before he could let all his breath out, he hurriedly swallowed it back.
As an assassin, failure was one thing, death naturally even better… but now, being surrounded by a crowd watching him like a play, was indeed a bit disgraceful.
His eyes flickered, as if he still wanted to do something, yet he knew that there was no chance at all.
Su Mo smiled:
“This brother here, will you confess of your own accord, or should I, Su, employ some tactics on you?
Or perhaps… you’d like the heroes of Wusheng Hall here to give you a demonstration of Wusheng Hall’s various skills?”
“This…”
Upon hearing this, a struggle immediately appeared on the man’s face.
After a long sigh, he said:
“Forget it… At this point, I simply wish for a swift death. If I divulge everything I know, can you… can you grant me a quick end?”
“That’s not difficult.”
Su Mo nodded.
“… Su, the Chief of the Escort, you keep your word?”
The man looked up at Su Mo.
“I, Su, always mean what I say, and my word is as good as gold.”
Su Mo’s words were somewhat shameless.
He had previously promised Ding Wugong a quick end, but till now Ding Wugong had only experienced pain, without the quick end.
Yang Xiaoyun was surprised how her beloved could lie so unabashedly.
Yet, she didn’t find Su Mo deceitful, but rather thought him to be cunning and shrewd.
In Jianghu, there were too many inscrutable people; no one knew what lay in the hearts of others.
To deal with such people, one naturally needed extraordinary methods.
Just like today’s internal chaos within Wusheng Hall, Su Mo was manipulating the situation with ease.
He even seemed to be enjoying himself a bit.
But if someone else were in the same situation, even with great martial arts, they likely wouldn’t know who exactly to kill.
However, when Su Mo said this, none of the people present contradicted him.
They all felt that what Su Mo said made sense.
The number one man of Donghuang, his word was naturally as good as gold.
Even the captured man believed him, and took a deep breath, looked around once again, and suddenly laughed.
At first, it was a quiet chuckle, but then it turned into a loud laughter, culminating in coughing up blood.
Qilin Swordsman, always in character, let out a cold snort:
“Laughing like this, are you trying to see the enforcement capability of my Seventh Hall?”
“What are you laughing at?”
Deng Fengbai couldn’t help but ask as well.
Struggling to hold back his laughter and taking a moment to catch his breath, the man then spoke:
“I laugh at the thought of your jaws dropping at the truth.
Just imagining your faces of surprise is enough to make me want to laugh…
“Pity, the view won’t last, for after I’ve spoken, it will be time for my death.
Even if you do not slay me, death is certain for me.”
“Bullshit.”
Qilin Swordsman coldly said, “You’re in Wusheng Hall, who dares to kill you lightly?”
But having said that, he then remembered Su Mo, and immediately glared fiercely at him.
Su Mo couldn’t be bothered with him, just hearing the man continue:
“It’s precisely because I am in Wusheng Hall… death is certain for me.
Because the one who assigned me, the one who had me attempt to kill Ding Wugong, is none other than… Wan Yutang!!”
At those words, shock indeed filled the room.
Deng Fengbai’s eyes were wide open, Qilin Swordsman dumbfounded as well.
Yang Xiaoyun turned her head toward Su Mo in shock.
But she noticed a fleeting smile at the corner of Su Mo’s mouth, which then turned into a frown, and he remained silent.
The first to speak was still Qilin Swordsman.
He bellowed angrily:
“Spouting nonsense! The Great Hall Master has been in seclusion for many years, long refraining from mundane affairs, how could he bear your slander?
“Someone, take this man out and execute him!”
“Indeed, this man spreads false rumors to deceive the public, kill him!!”
IMMEDIATELY Deng Fengbai also voiced his agreement.
The two Hall Masters spoke at once, and Wushengtang disciples promptly heeded the call.
But right at that moment, Su Mo suddenly stepped forward, casually took off the Sword Box behind him, and with a click planted it on the ground.
He looked around commandingly:
“I would like to see… who dares?”
His voice was not loud, but it struck the ears like thunder.
Qilin Swordsman’s eyebrows were tightly knit, appearing extremely troubled, but in his heart, he was on the verge of laughter.
He couldn’t help but be curious where Su Mo had found such a gem.
Accusing Wan Yutang in front of everyone?
Exactly how had this play reached this stage?
Though the turn was different from the prior agreement, and added unpredictability, it was very intriguing.
However, as intriguing as it was, he still had to follow his established character, and immediately said in a cold voice:
“Su, the Chief of the Escort… This man spouts nonsense within the territory of Wusheng Hall, slandering our Great Hall Master.
“An unforgivable crime, he must be executed!”
“Must be executed?”
Su Mo gave Qilin Swordsman a cold look: “Say that again?”
…
Qilin Swordsman felt something was wrong when Su Mo looked at him.
This kid is probably looking for another excuse to hit me!
Since last night, he’d already used excuses to hit him twice.
It’s definitely because he can’t stomach the accusation of having a secret meeting with Wan Yilan in the night; the guy did the deed, but didn’t dare to own up, and bore a grudge.
While thinking this, he heard Deng Fengbai suddenly speak up:
“Lord Su, this matter is no small issue.
Since this man pointed at our Great Hall Master as the one behind the assassination attempt on Ding Wugong, what he says and does is not something Lord Xing or I can monopolize.
Right now, we dare not hear any more of what he has to say.
However, since Lord Su wants to uncover the truth…
Why don’t we do this, I will immediately have someone strike the Gu Tower bell.
We shall summon all Hall Masters and Vice Hall Masters of the Twelfth Halls to the main hall of Wusheng Hall.
And hold a public trial for this man!”
Once this was said, whether it was Qilin Swordsman, Yang Yizhi, Yu Lingxin.
Or Su Mo and Yang Xiaoyun, all instinctively looked up at Deng Fengbai.
Only to find the Tenth Hall Master to be alarmingly composed at this moment.
After quietly observing him for a moment, Su Mo burst into laughter:
“Good, just what I had in mind. Please, Master Deng, arrange for the bell to be struck, and we’ll meet in the great hall.
“Lord Xing, since you are the Hall Master of the Law Enforcement Hall, please trouble yourself to go to my residence, and arrange for Ding Wugong to be brought over as well.”
