Chapter 173: Chapter 126: Pain!

Some things, when heard about others, sound merely like a story to oneself.

But if one truly puts oneself in their shoes, one realizes the difficulty of the matter.

Liu Mo’s predicament lay in the conflict between his conscience and the duty to one’s parents.

Su Mo smacked his lips: “So, what do you plan to do now?”

“Find Tong Yun, no matter what.”

Liu Mo said, “Regardless of life or death, at least there should be a conclusion.”

“Right.”

Su Mo nodded, indicating that he understood.

At this point, Liu Mo gave a wry smile again, “That night, I was truly out of my senses and acted without thorough consideration. I should have informed Su, the Chief of the Escort, in advance so that he wouldn’t have had to make this trip for my sake.”

“It’s alright.”

Su Mo said, “I’ve already come, let’s not talk about that. What should I say to the Guard Team when I get back?”

Liu Mo thought for a moment and said, “You just need to tell them that Lord. Liu has urgent matters and won’t return with everyone for now. As for this matter, I will explain it to the Store Manager. The mountains are high and the rivers long; we shall meet again. I will write a letter later and trouble you to pass it to the Store Manager after you return to Luoxia City.”

“Alright.”

Su Mo nodded; he had received the explanation he needed.

Just as he was thinking about finding the writing set so Liu Mo could write the letter, the door to the room opened.

Led by Feng Ziheng of the Mo Wen’s Blade, a group of Heavenly Blade Sect Disciples filed out.

The others greeted Su Mo and his company before heading off in a hurry, clearly having other matters to attend to.

Only Feng Ziheng stayed behind, his demeanor cold and stern, his eyes flitting sharply like the edge of a blade, he clasped his hands together in a salute:

“Thank you all for your righteous assistance today!

“Su, the Chief of the Escort’s great kindness is deeply felt within our very souls, the Heavenly Blade Sect will never forget!”

Even now, Su Mo still couldn’t get used to the style of the Heavenly Blade Sect.

Before you even opened your mouth, from your expression and atmosphere alone, one would think you were about to attack me…

And how do you manage to say, “deeply felt within our very souls, the Heavenly Blade Sect will never forget,” as if you want to seek vengeance at any moment?

After secretly criticizing in his mind, Su Mo said with a smile:

“Don’t mention it. How’s the Nangong Sect Leader doing?”

“Well…”

Feng Ziheng nodded, “He was almost killed.”

Almost killed, and you nod your damn head!

“So… What about now?”

Su Mo asked.

“He’s alright now, just resting.”

Feng Ziheng continued, “The Sect Leader had concentrated Blade Intent for five years, all sealed within the sheath. Including his very spirit. If the blade were drawn, it would surely shock the heavens. Yet, because of saving me, it was wasted in vain. The villain seized this opportunity to strike at the Sect Leader; the methods were despicable and contemptible.”

Su Mo nodded, “It seems this Fu Han Yuan is one of them, and it seems that his purpose was indeed to force the Nangong Sect Leader to draw the blade.”

Blade intent surged in Feng Ziheng’s eyes, and he nodded, “I already had people bring that man here to confront him. Su, as a famed figure in Jianghu and present today, you can serve as a witness.”

With the conversation at this point, Su Mo naturally had no reason to refuse.

Sure enough, it wasn’t long before Fu Han Yuan was brought over.

As he walked, he continued to curse incessantly:

“The great name of the Heavenly Blade Sect, such despicable methods.

“I, alone, challenged your Sect to verify martial skills, and you oppress me with numbers?

“Have the courage to release my acupoints, and face me in a fair fight. But I see that all in the Heavenly Blade Sect are cowards; perhaps not a single man amongst you?

“But I don’t blame you for your fear. After all, the martial skills of the Heavenly Blade Sect are nothing but trivial tricks passed on to cheat and deceive.

“All you need to do is admit that all in the Heavenly Blade Sect are mere cowards, and I might not annihilate you completely… Aiyo!”

The last cry came as one of the Heavenly Blade Sect Disciples threw him roughly to the ground, his head striking the floor with a thud, grimacing in pain.

After getting up, he still couldn’t help but angrily say: “That’s right, the people of the Heavenly Blade Sect only dare to bully a defenseless person whose acupoints are sealed with such dirty tricks, feeling very proud, aren’t you?”

“They say people from the Northern Territory are brash and decisive, but actions speak louder than words.”

Yang Xiaoyun glanced at Su Mo, “This man, with his tongue as sharp as a lotus leaf, is truly a skilled debater.”

Su Mo smiled, “Perhaps when he challenged the Northern Territory and found no one to fight, it was indeed with this sharp tongue of his?”

Fu Han Yuan, hearing this, suddenly directed his gaze toward Su Mo and Yang Xiaoyun.

A shudder ran through him; he remembered Su Mo’s kick all too well… of course, it wasn’t his fault for holding a grudge.

His nose was still broken, after all.

It was too soon to forget what had just happened.

But that kick was indeed unforgettable; traveling through Jianghu, he had yet to encounter such a powerful kick.

“Who exactly are you?”

He looked at Su Mo: “So young yet with such martial skills, you must be no ordinary man. Dare to leave your name?”

“Why wouldn’t I?”

Su Mo smiled, “Keeping one’s name wherever one goes, from Luoxia City’s Ziyang Escort Agency… Su Mo!”

“Su…”

Fu Han Yuan’s pupils shrank sharply: “Su Mo, the one who destroyed the Youquan Sect in Xuanji Valley?”

“You’re quite well-informed.”

Yang Xiaoyun chuckled.

“…”

Fu Han Yuan’s mouth twitched, “This news has spread throughout the Southwest and even reached the Northern Territory. Even if I were deaf and blind, I couldn’t have missed hearing about it. Had I known earlier… Had I known earlier…”
