Chapter 1428: Chapter 543: Countering with a Ruse (Part 2)

"Who is it?"

Silent forest, no response.

He frowned coldly, staring for a moment, then continued to sprint.

After probing back and forth three times, no one answered.

Only then did he relax and started to run back.

After winding and turning, he finally arrived at a secret spot in the woods where there was a small wooden cabin.

He pushed the door open and entered, the house was simply furnished.

There were many bottles and jars, big and small boxes on the table.

He casually removed the beard on his face, revealing a clean face.

He grabbed a small porcelain bottle, opened it, poured out the liquid inside, and gently applied it to his face.

The bronze-colored skin instantly became fair and clean.

Then he swiftly maneuvered, sometimes opening bottles, sometimes opening boxes, smearing various things on his face.

He also took a brush to dot and draw...

After more than an hour, Wang Sanhei was nowhere to be found.

In front of him appeared a handsome scholar.

He casually picked up a folding fan from the table, snapped it open with a crack, and nodded slightly.

Then he got up and left the cabin, not stopping for a moment, heading straight into the town.

His Qinggong technique looked entirely different from before.

Soon after, he arrived back in the town, wandered through the streets and alleys for a moment, and finally arrived at the entrance of a mansion.

He knocked lightly and heavily a few times.

With a creak, the door opened, revealing a calm face:

"Is anyone tailing you?"

"Who am I, how could I allow anyone to tail me?"

He tapped the person’s head with the fan:

"Where’s Boss Guo?"

"Waiting inside."

While opening the door to let him in, the person spoke:

"Nowadays, the situation is increasingly abnormal, although no signs have appeared yet, but there’s always a feeling of an impending storm. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝓮𝒘𝙚𝙗𝒏𝙤𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝒐𝙢

"If Su Mo cannot be provoked to anger, to ignite a fire across the land.

"I’m afraid the situation will truly be lost.

"Today you were trapped, almost scared us to death.

"I heard Su Mo has a technique named the Suffering People Scripture, truly formidable.

"Until now, never failed.

"But how did he let you go?"

"His martial arts are indeed powerful."

Wang Sanhei smiled lightly:

"But, being a righteous person...

"I confessed to being a knife in Zhong Ding’s hands, manipulated and coerced.

"He claims to be righteous, naturally wouldn’t really harm me.

"A small punishment as a big warning, and no further difficulty."

"Oh?"

The person glanced at him: "So, it’s just that simple. Could it be a ploy to release you openly, follow in secret, trying to grasp your background?"

"I also suspect this, so I went around outside the town.

"Several times I tried to startle the snake, but no movement at all.

"It seems no one is tailing."

Wang Sanhei smiled:

"After that, I disguised and changed my appearance to this carefree scholar, even if face to face, he wouldn’t know who I am."

"Indeed impressive."

The person nodded, very admiringly.

While talking, the two had already arrived in the hall.

Boss Guo was indeed there, upon seeing the two arrive, he nodded gently:

"Good to have you back...

"Today’s affair in the woods was indeed unexpected.

"I intended for Zhong Jian Sect’s members to die first.

"Let those self-proclaimed righteous men above Nanhai witness this scene.

"Incite public indignation.

"Ultimately lead Su Mo to unleash a killing spree!

"He holds the position of Nanhai Alliance Young Leader and Dragon King Hall Master.

"With these two as support, merely spreading the rumor of him possessing the Martial God Key in Jianghu.

"Those rogue forces above Nanhai wouldn’t dare challenge him.

"But if he’s inherently murderous, indiscriminately killing innocents, he’s definitely not a wise ruler.

"Will inevitably cause people to change their minds, at that time, with us stirring the wind and rain.

"Not afraid the spark of fire cannot spread far and wide.

"Once Nanhai Alliance and Dragon King Hall’s foundations are shaken, these two mountains behind him will collapse on their own.

"Then, in the Nanhai turmoil, it won’t be hard for us to seize the opportunity amid the chaos.

"Unexpectedly, in the end, Su Mo didn’t lay a heavy hand.

"Afterwards, with gentle means, even turning big issues into small, and small issues into nothing..."

Saying this, he glanced at the carefree scholar-like Wang Sanhei:

"But now, seeing you return safely.

"Seems he didn’t suspect anything."

"That’s right."

Wang Sanhei nodded lightly:

"Now with your words, we still have a night to maneuver, is there any good strategy?"

"Do you think, after his words today, how many people are truly willing to gamble with him?"

Boss Guo smiled slightly.

"This..."

Wang Sanhei shook his head lightly: "I think those genuinely willing to gamble against him are definitely few. Most are stirred by Lei Zhenming and Mingyue Taoist..."

"Exactly."

Boss Guo sneered:

"Su Mo is no longer that ordinary newcomer to Nanhai whom most people knew nothing about.

"After the incidents at Longmu Island and Tianqi Island, his martial arts have become a matter of fear.

"The one leading this time is Qingfeng Temple Ming Yue, this old Taoist priest.

"They are highly skilled in martial arts, conceited, initiating this so-called gamble.

"But what about those whose martial arts are inferior to theirs?

"Su Mo today made them bet with their lives, afraid of failure, and ultimately losing everything are not few.

"I’ve already secretly connected, offering them advice and strategies.
