Chapter 1409: Chapter 537: Nine Yin Meridian Lock

Mu Tianye felt a moment of genuine fear and trepidation.

After a few gentle words of encouragement from Su Mo, he allowed him and Xiangtian Sect Leader to withdraw first.

Xiangtian Sect Leader wanted to inquire about the antidote for the Huangquan Pill.

However, with just a glance from Su Mo, the words he was about to utter were swallowed back down.

It seemed that this matter was something Su Mo would never reveal to him.

But, since Su Mo intended to support Mu Tianye in becoming the leader of Qianbu, would he give the antidote to Mu Tianye?

Thinking of this, his mind stirred again.

After leaving the hall, Xiangtian Sect Leader clasped his hands:

"Leader Mu."

"..."

Mu Tianye was momentarily unaccustomed and hurriedly said:

"Division Leader... why are you?"

"Oh?"

Xiangtian Sect Leader waved his hand gently:

"You also heard what the Hall Master said just now.

"I am old and feeble, unfit for the hardships of conquest; the future of Qianbu is yours.

"During this period, I’ll safeguard you for now.

"Once major matters are settled, it will be only natural for you to take the position of Qianbu Leader.

"In front of others, let’s act as before; no need for such formality in private."

"This..."

Mu Tianye was momentarily stunned, but after a brief ponder, nodded lightly:

"Very well, Xiangtian Sect Leader, as long as you are obedient and self-disciplined, in the future, I dare not promise anything else, but you will at least have a comfortable meal assured."

"...Ah, thank you, Leader Mu."

Xiangtian Sect Leader immediately bowed to the ground.

Mu Tianye flicked his sleeve and turned to leave.

Xiangtian Sect Leader rose and looked at his back, a hint of gloom flashing in his eyes, muttering to himself:

"A petty man intoxicated by success."

Little did he know, walking ahead, Mu Tianye’s eyes were also filled with gravity.

...

...

In the following time, Su Mo met with the Commanders of the Four Divisions in the City Lord Manor hall as much as possible.

Among them, some were genuinely loyal to the Dragon King Hall, while others were spies deliberately left by Su Mo. 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚

He disrupted the order, sometimes meeting three or five together, or individually.

During the conversations, he did not mention much about how the battle would proceed, only instructing them to be ready and obey the orders from their Division Leaders.

After having met all of them once, this session of the assembly was thus concluded.

Su Mo stood up, appearing somewhat fatigued.

The situation in the Dragon King Hall was different from the Nanhai Alliance.

The Nanhai Alliance had Gao Tianqi paving the way for him, and many matters did not require his concern.

Even if he left Tianqi Island, outside the influence of the Nanhai Alliance.

With Gao Tianqi present, his positions as Young Alliance Leader and Vice Alliance Hierarch were stable and secure.

However, in the Dragon King Hall, the situation was even more complex than in the Nanhai Alliance.

The previous generation of Hall Masters, in their folly, plunged the Dragon King Hall into a state of extreme alertness and anxiety for change.

If one cannot regain control over the people’s hearts, even if called the Hall Master, it would be an empty title in reality.

Among this, the Eight Sects were even more so.

The Dark Dragon Hall focused on the Eight Sects, extending its roots, turning the Eight Sects into a mess of wounds and holes.

Before coming to Weilong Island, Su Mo had already considered how to untangle the situation somewhat.

Therefore, not to mention the situation where Xiangtian Sect Leader plotted to assassinate Shui Wuchang, giving Su Mo such a strong leverage.

Even without that incident, even if it were exactly as Zhou Yuanming thought, and Su Mo had his own people create trouble, something would still need to be orchestrated.

Otherwise, how could he make a fuss and raise a great commotion?

Now that the Four Divisions have been sorted out, though there may be minor issues, it would be difficult to shake the foundation.

The subsequent plans have been determined, and the journey to Weilong Island is considered a complete success.

Having done what needed to be done, observed what needed to be observed, and arranged what needed to be arranged.

That is enough.

Just as he was about to turn and leave, he noticed Fu Han Yuan with furrowed brows, deep in thought.

Su Mo, seeing this, couldn’t help but smile:

"What are you thinking about, Old Fu?"

"Ah?"

Fu Han Yuan retracted his neck.

Even now, the power of Su Mo’s Suffering People Scripture still made Fu Han Yuan apprehensive.

He naturally had a bit of a knack for petty successes, yet over these days, constantly kept by Su Mo’s side, he found nowhere to apply it.

Upon hearing Su Mo’s inquiry, his first instinct was fear, but once he realized it, he hurriedly said:

"Chief, I feel that old Xiang won’t behave."

Su Mo chuckled softly:

"You’ve made some progress these days."

"The Chief knows?"

Fu Han Yuan was stunned: "Then why don’t you intervene?"

"Why would I intervene?"

Su Mo said with a smile:

"Even if he behaves now, I’d still have Mu Tianye pressure him a bit, to make sure he doesn’t behave.

"Otherwise, such a big chess piece would be wasted in vain, no?"

Fu Han Yuan suddenly felt his mind going blank again.

He felt he couldn’t keep up with the thought process at all.

His brow furrowed involuntarily, deeply pondering.

Su Mo glanced at Fu Han Yuan a couple of times, after a brief contemplation, he said softly:

"Later, write down the Practical Techniques of Sky Frost True Qi for me to see."

Upon hearing this, Fu Han Yuan did not feel the slightest anger; instead, he was delighted.

Given Su Mo’s martial arts, he would not covet others’ Absolute Skill?

If he wanted to see it, it must be to guide his martial arts.

His heart couldn’t help but feel ecstasy.

However, after the ecstasy, his face instantly turned to sorrow.

Seeing his changing expression, Su Mo asked, puzzled:

"What’s wrong?"

"...I don’t know how to write."

Fu Han Yuan replied with a face of helplessness.

"..."

Su Mo then remembered, before venturing out, Fu Han Yuan was just an honest, simple-minded farmer.
