Chapter 1396: Chapter 532: Night’s End (3)

"Go on, go on."

Su Mo waved his hand, allowing him to leave, and added a reminder:

"Remember to take off your night clothes; be careful not to be caught directly by Mu Shanshan’s men."

"Then I’ll just go to the dungeon and sleep... the Chief can save me tomorrow."

"..."

Su Mo was momentarily at a loss for words.

Meanwhile, the Sihai Dragon Heads were distinguishing these four people one by one.

However, their connection with the Eight sects wasn’t close, so they couldn’t recognize their identities.

All they could do was marvel:

"Indeed, the Hall Master is unfathomable, predicting they would have tricks tonight.

"He conveniently captured these four again.

"Speaking of which, we should ask Shui Wuchang who these people are later."

"We don’t need to concern ourselves with who they are; I’m more interested in knowing from them... how many of their people are within the Four Divisions?"

While speaking, Su Mo approached the man who stabbed his chest earlier.

Xiangtian Sect is merely leaning towards one of their Four Divisions leaders.

Probably only has limited knowledge about the Dark Dragon Hall.

The one who truly understands the Dark Dragon Hall is the person who managed to slip away.

"Right Saint" can impersonate this identity naturally because he is extraordinary.

But even if he knows the Dark Dragon Hall, he may not know the arrangements within the Eight sects.

Therefore, to inquire about the Eight sects’ arrangement with the Dark Dragon Hall.

It must be approached through the Eight sects.

Upon hearing Su Mo’s words, the man on the ground sneered:

"How dare you underestimate me?

"You don’t understand the Dark Dragon Hall at all... Whatever torture methods you have, bring them on; if I say one more word, you are my grandfather!!"

Su Mo was quite pleased with his spirit of stubborn resistance.

Might as well gave him three fingers.

It was just a matter of half a pot of tea before Su Mo released the Suffering People Scripture on him.

The man instantly burst into tears, kowtowing on the ground:

"Grandfather!!"

...

...

Outside the courtyard.

The one who left among the five did not go far.

He was still observing the situation from afar.

But now a pot of tea had passed, and there was still no movement in the courtyard.

The man finally let out a breath: 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂

"Looks like it really was a trap..."

Thinking this, he no longer hesitated and turned to leave.

After wandering around, he found himself in another room within the City Lord Manor.

He casually took out a Fire Stick from his arms, lighting the oil lamp.

He went to the table, dipped the pen in ink, intending to write, but hesitated instead.

Finally, he sighed, picked up the pen, and chose his words carefully.

He wrote down all the events of the night.

After finishing everything, he added some words at the end of the letter:

"Observing Su Mo’s actions, he is more peculiar than upright, inclined to devious methods, must be prevented.

"Regarding ’Right Saint,’ it is expected this person absolutely won’t make a big announcement.

"Instead, he will act covertly to avoid unsettling the Eight sects.

"Whether Xiangtian Sect has betrayed, it remains uncertain; I will investigate further.

"Hall Master can await good news!"

After writing these contents, he also scribbled a few seemingly meaningless words in one part of the letter.

With that, he blew the ink dry and was just about to put it in the envelope.

Suddenly, he heard footsteps outside the door.

His brow furrowed unconsciously.

"Did they reveal anything about me?"

Thinking this, however, seemed impossible.

People within the Dark Dragon Hall know each other well.

They have all undergone extremely harsh training before being sent to the Eight sects as spies.

Each one’s willpower is extraordinary, even if their limbs are severed.

Even if their parents and family are killed in front of them.

They wouldn’t disclose any secrets.

Even if Su Mo has the skill to extract their secrets.

But from the capture until now, it’s barely been a stick of incense.

How could the foundation be exposed so quickly?

Thinking this brought some relief to his mind.

He took a breath to blow out the oil lamp.

Hurriedly changed out of the night clothes and folded the letter, placing it in his bosom.

With that, he untied his hairpin, rubbed his face, and feigned being awakened from deep sleep.

At this moment, the door of the courtyard was knocked.

He heard someone shouting outside:

"Liu Zhangling... Liu Zhangling?"

The voice, surprisingly, belonged to Mu Shanshan.

Momentarily stunned, he turned over and quickly replied:

"Subordinate here!"

He is the fourth Commander under Mu Shanshan.

In Weilong City, he holds a position of considerable power.

He immediately pushed open the door, hearing the courtyard being opened with a loud bang.

Mu Shanshan, carrying two Purple Gold Mixed Element Hammers, led people directly inside.

He promptly feigned shock:

"Division Leader... what is this?"

Mu Shanshan waved his hand:

"Too many disturbances tonight, and now there are assassins intruding. Did you notice anything here?"

"Forgive me, Division Leader, perhaps I slept too deeply, indeed noticed nothing."

Liu Zhangling quickly cupped his hands and bowed.

Mu Shanshan nodded upon hearing this, came to Liu Zhangling, and was about to speak, but suddenly his expression changed, he turned sharply:

"Who is there?"

Liu Zhangling’s heart instantly relaxed.

He knew those captured tonight could in no way have revealed him.

Mu Shanshan making such a fuss, an assassin indeed might have come?

He immediately stepped forward, trying to seek the direction Mu Shanshan was looking at, but despite using all his hearing, he could hear nothing.

He was contemplating how to explain the next steps to Mu Shanshan, suddenly felt his waist’s vital point tighten.

His entire body lost strength.

His heart sank immediately:

"Division Leader... you..."

The three words fell, Mu Shanshan snorted coldly:

"Take him."

The group following Mu Shanshan moved swiftly, directly binding Liu Zhangling and pinning him to the ground.

Someone searched him, Liu Zhangling’s face turned dark as the letter was already in someone’s hand.

It was handed over to Mu Shanshan.

Mu Shanshan opened it, scanned through at lightning speed, nodded slightly:

"What a Liu Zhangling...

"I said, why would the arrangements around Shui Wuchang’s courtyard vanish.

"Turns out it’s Liu Zhangling’s handiwork.

"Take him away!"

The subordinates answered and took the person away directly.

And on this night, similar events weren’t only occurring in various places within the City Lord Manor.

Even within the Three Divisions’ sections, there were people holding ’word orders’ going to arrest others.

After a round of twists, it continued until the night ended and the day broke, only then did it entirely stop.
