At this point, Liu Zhongxian chuckled:

"Yun Mantang, you messed up our plan, but it’s not a big deal.

"However, in essence, everything we are doing is to serve Jinglong Hall.

"The entanglements involved are far too great.

"Jinglong, there is no way out under its pressure, only hoping for a next life as a human.

"But, I wonder, Yun Mantang, do you have the chance for such a next life?"

Yun Mantang’s chest heaved as he gritted his teeth and said:

"Jinglong Hall may not be as you think, all this is just your wishful thinking.

"If Jinglong Hall finds out about this, they would probably be the first to kill you, these Jianghu scoundrels acting wantonly under their name!!"

"How naive and laughable!"

Liu Zhongxian laughed heartily:

"The Jinglong Hall little hall master’s coming-of-age ceremony, if it wasn’t for Jinglong Hall spreading the word, how would we have known?

"Moreover, why would they send out anonymous invitations if they were inviting guests?

"I don’t believe you, Yun Mantang, don’t understand the underlying meaning.

"Saying childish words like this now is truly laughable."

Yun Mantang was rendered speechless by these words.

From Liu Zhongxian’s words, it wasn’t hard to see that it seemed to be deliberate by Jinglong Hall.

Deliberately letting those in Jianghu commit atrocities to obtain the invitations.

Further, in order to entertain the little hall master, destroy families, and collect exotic treasures to gain Jinglong Hall’s favor.

For a moment, Yun Mantang furrowed his brow, feeling a blockage in his chest, needing to vent but unable to.

Seeing Yun Mantang’s discomfort, Liu Zhongxian felt quite pleased.

Yet amidst his delight, doubt began to creep into his mind.

He and his brothers had split up to track down these people.

The Fire Meteor had been deployed for some time, yet his brothers had not arrived.

Just as he was contemplating this, suddenly a fierce beast’s roar echoed from the woods.

The sound resembled that of a ferocious tiger?

In the confusion, footsteps suddenly emerged from the dark.

Upon hearing the noise, Yun Mantang was startled and immediately stood, gripping his blade:

"They’re here!"

Su Mo gestured with his hand:

"Stay calm."

Yun Mantang was taken aback and looked up to see two figures emerging from the darkness.

A woman and a Taoist.

Though just two, they were not the only ones present.

There were four more.

These four were being dragged by the woman and Taoist, one in each hand, and the stench of blood was already apparent from afar.

In the firelight, Yun Mantang finally saw clearly, his pupils constricting violently:

"This... this..."

He saw these four... no, to be precise, these four corpses, all in a sorry state.

As if torn apart by tigers and leopards, their bodies were covered in scars, one reduced to only half a corpse.

The other corpses were incomplete, missing arms or legs, or even heads.

The woman and Taoist threw the four corpses in front of them and bowed to Su Mo:

"Sir."

Su Mo nodded slightly and glanced at the half-corpse:

"Where’s the other half?"

"Buried it along the way."

Xiao Dao Ren quickly responded.

Su Mo nodded:

"Good that you didn’t eat it, alright, you may leave now."

Xiao Dao Ren and Shu Jing bowed in farewell and faded into the darkness.

However, their conversation left Yun Mantang and Liu Zhongxian horrified.

Especially Liu Zhongxian, who had already recognized the four corpses as his companions, the Twelve Evils of Tianfeng.

Here he was, anxiously waiting for their help, only to find four corpses instead.

What on earth had happened to them?

Thinking of this, Liu Zhongxian suddenly looked up at Su Mo:

"Who... who exactly are you?"

"Just a humble merchant,"

Su Mo smiled slightly:

"Old man, don’t mind... um, you’ve said almost everything you needed to, Huangquan Road is long, why don’t you go on ahead?"

Liu Zhongxian shivered abruptly and quickly said:

"Wait... is the rabbit roasted yet?"

"It’s done."

Su Mo nodded.

"Give it to me, I want to eat!"

Liu Zhongxian quickly said, "You, you won’t go back on your word, right?"

"Naturally, I keep my promises."

As Su Mo said this, he seemed a bit troubled:

"It’s just, you were a bit late..."

He gestured with his hand, and Liu Zhongxian followed the direction to see Zhen Xiaoxiao clutching several roasted rabbits, eating voraciously. Feeling Liu Zhongxian’s gaze, she glanced back at the old man, then leapt onto the carriage roof, continued eating...

"...Is this a reincarnated starving ghost?"

Liu Zhongxian stared, dumbfounded.

Su Mo chuckled at this and was about to signal his men to kill.

Yun Mantang hurriedly said:

"Brother Wu, I have an impudent request."

Su Mo almost didn’t react that Brother Wu was referring to himself.

Once he realized, he smiled:

"Brother Yun, no need for courtesy. Just say it directly."

"I wish to do it myself."

Yun Mantang glanced at Liu Zhongxian:

"You should know, if Brother Wu’s men do it, death is certain.

"But if I do it, there’s a chance for survival."

"What do you want?"

Liu Zhongxian looked at Yun Mantang.

"Tell me, where have you imprisoned Fairy Luo Die?"

Yun Mantang said coldly, "As long as you reveal this, I can plead with Brother Wu to let us duel. If you defeat me... you can leave."
