Chapter 1405: Chapter 535: The Third Matter (3)

"Thirdly... a Deputy Hall Master later appeared in the Dark Dragon Hall.

"He often opposed the Hall Master, making it difficult to employ the original plans.

"The last difficulty, however, was that the Left and Right Two Saints had another inheritance.

"If one wants to replace someone under the guise of another, the martial arts must not have any flaws, the appearance cannot have any discrepancies, and the matter is of utmost secrecy, absolutely not to be detected by others.

"Thus, it wasn’t until recently that it truly unfolded.

"After capturing the Right Saint, they originally intended to take them directly back to the Dark Dragon Hall, to interrogate the Right Saint’s martial arts.

"I used the excuse that the Hall Master would soon go to Weilong Island, to prevent them from returning directly to the Dark Dragon Hall and instead come first to Weilong Island.

"This act was intended to report the matter to the Hall Master and ask the Hall Master to save the Right Saint from danger.

"In these various actions, the tactics were risky, and there were places I could not report in time, I ask the Hall Master to punish me!"

At this point, Xiangtian Sect knelt down with a thud, his attitude sincere.

After hearing his words, the Commanders of the Eight Sects couldn’t help but take a deep breath.

Some lamented the Dark Dragon Hall’s sinister intentions, while others appreciated Xiangtian Sect’s burden of enduring humiliation.

Mu Shanshan coldly glanced at Xiangtian Sect, then stood up and clasped his hands:

"Hall Master, Lord Xiang’s efforts and burdens, though flawed, are also pitiable, please be lenient with him, Hall Master."

"Indeed."

Shui Wuchang also quickly stood up:

"Lord Xiang’s painstaking efforts were for the benefit of our Dragon King Hall.

"Now with his significant achievements, his contributions are not minor, I ask the Hall Master to see clearly."

The Sihai Dragon Heads also stood up to plead.

Even the Commanders of the Eight Sects all knelt down.

Only Zhou Yuanming was dumbfounded at this moment.

Looking at Su Mo, looking at Xiangtian Sect.

Then glancing around...

Suddenly discovering a shocking truth!

The things he pondered over earlier seemed somewhat incorrect.

The scenes unfolding before him didn’t seem false.

But if all this wasn’t orchestrated by Su Mo, and the Dark Dragon Hall truly existed, then, didn’t he hand over the Dui Character Order for nothing?

At the thought of this possibility, Zhou Yuanming felt like crying.

What foolish thing had he done?

In a daze, he too quickly put on a mournful face, hoping Su Mo would be lenient with Xiangtian Sect.

Su Mo then gently exhaled:

"Originally, there were such twists and turns in between...

"Xiangtian Sect, you turned to the Dark Dragon Hall and betrayed our Dragon King Hall, which was wrong.

"But you endured humiliation and burden, gathered intelligence on the Dark Dragon Hall, and strategized for our Dragon King Hall, which is merit.

"However... merits and demerits cancel each other out, no reward or punishment, are you convinced?"

"Subordinate thanks Hall Master for your mercy!!"

Xiangtian Sect repeatedly kowtowed, his face brimming with gratitude.

The Sihai Dragon Heads exchanged glances, then Xiao He loudly said:

"The Hall Master’s leniency is truly our blessing.

"Thank you Hall Master for your mercy!"

As these words came out, the hall was instantly filled with voices of ’Thank you, Hall Master for your mercy.’

Su Mo repeatedly waved his hand, and the sound gradually subsided.

At this moment, Xiangtian Sect spoke again:

"Although the Hall Master is lenient, I am still uneasy in my heart.

"Previously, Lord Zhou was disrespectful to the Hall Master, and what Lord Shui said is indeed reasonable.

"Now, firstly, this is to punish myself, and secondly, to clear any suspicion.

"Therefore, I wish to hand over the Qianzi Order, to let the Hall Master take charge, hoping the Hall Master can fulfill this."

After saying this, he knocked his head on the ground again, continuously saying:

"Please, Hall Master, fulfill this!"

Su Mo repeatedly told him to stop, but Xiangtian Sect only kept on kowtowing.

He did not protect his head with Inner Strength, and his forehead was bleeding profusely.

This sight was indeed moving to others.

Ultimately, Su Mo sighed heavily:

"Well, well, since you have such intentions, I will fulfill them."

"Thank you, Hall Master!"

Immediately, he took the Qianzi Order from his bosom and handed it over to Su Mo with both hands.

Su Mo then said:

"I will accept this order for the time being, but remember, this is only temporary.

"When you have made great contributions and proven your innocence, this Qianzi Order will be returned to you."

"Yes, this subordinate will remember very well."

Xiangtian Sect nodded repeatedly.

This exchange of sincerity between the Hall Master and his subordinate further evoked indescribable feelings in the hearts of the commanders present.

The Hall Master, young and strong in martial arts, graciously treats others.

With such a Hall Master, how could the Dragon King Hall not have a bright future?

Moreover, Xiangtian Sect spoke clearly.

The Dragon King Mirror was retrieved by the Hall Master, who even mastered the Supreme Divine Skill within.

The Sihai Dragon Heads submitted, the leaders of the Four Divisions pledged their loyalty.

The Eight Sects Dragon Maiden returned to her position!

The once turbulent Dragon King Hall no longer existed.

The current Dragon King Hall, with the Hall Master present, is once again united.

Reviving its prestige is just around the corner!

For a moment, everyone felt excited.

Every face had a gleam of red light.

Only Mu Tianye kept his head down, his mind already extremely shocked.

What he saw clearly last night...

The Qianzi Order had long been taken back by Su Mo.

The scene in the field now was clearly buying hearts, performing a show for the commanders of the Four Divisions to see.

However, this was something he dared not say and could not say!

Such cleverness and manipulation, buying hearts, were far beyond comparison with the former Hall Master.

Judging from the situation in the field, Su Mo turned clouds with one hand and rain with the other, and by now, the hearts of the people were united, regardless of leniency, the future of the Dragon King Hall was promising.

Only one thing made him worry.

He didn’t know what the future of the Qianbu would be?

As this thought rolled in his mind, he couldn’t help but secretly glance at Su Mo.

Only to find, Su Mo was also casting a glance at him.

Four eyes met, Mu Tianye’s heart sank, and he quickly lowered his head, his heart pounding like a drum.

Yet he heard Su Mo casually arranging for someone to go to the Qianbu main ship, to Xiangtian Sect’s study, to find the evidence Xiangtian Sect mentioned.

At this moment, the commanders of the Four Divisions, who had left earlier, returned from the black-clothed man’s oral account.

Not only did they return, but they also brought back the person in charge there.

All affairs thus unfolded, with successive interrogations, whether it was the "Right Saint" or those black-clothed men, under these various evidences, they could only confess.

At this point, Su Mo then softly spoke:

"Alright, take them away please."

Immediately, some people pushed and shoved out those from the Dark Dragon Hall.

Afterward, Su Mo ordered the doors to be closed.

The entire hall fell into silence.

Then Su Mo’s voice could be heard speaking solemnly:

"Now, let’s talk about the third matter of today..."

Upon hearing this, everyone felt a jolt in their hearts.

Could it be...
