Chapter 1429: Chapter 543: Turning Their Own Trick Against Them (Part 3)

"Tonight someone will make a move and head for Su Mo’s ship, to carry out a massacre."

"There must still be quite a few experts on that ship of his. It’s hard to say whether this rabble can really take it."

"But if they can take it, we can use it to threaten Su Mo and make him hesitate to act rashly."

"If they can’t take it... we inform Su Mo that someone is hatching a sinister plot and means to kill to the last. Once he hears this and rushes back to the ship, he’ll definitely slaughter people on a grand scale!"

"Good!"

"Wang Sanhei" immediately clapped his hands and praised the idea:

"When Su Mo is in the midst of his slaughter, we still have to go notify Mingyue Taoist and the others.

"Tell them those people enraged Su Mo, to the point that he’s filled with killing intent.

"If they want to get to the bottom of it, naturally we can’t tell them. We just need to be vague and evasive, make them only think of going over to stop it... At that time, a Su Mo whose eyes are red from killing might not give them any face."

"Even if he really can remain that calm, we just need to fan the flames a little in the dark...

"We don’t fear the outcome straying from our original intent.

"In this way, cementing his reputation as a bloodthirsty man will be only natural."

"Not only that."

Boss Guo let out a cold laugh:

"By the timing, people from Jingang Temple and Yukun Palace should also be able to arrive here tonight.

"If they see such a scene... then at that time..."

At this point, the few of them exchanged glances and each wore a treacherous smile.

But the next instant, that "Wang Sanhei" exhaled:

"This method is indeed good, but it’s quite dangerous.

"What are we to do tonight? If we take the lead ourselves, I fear we’ll die at Su Mo’s hands as well."

"There’s no need at all to take the lead..."

Boss Guo said, "We’ll watch from In the dark, send out all our people to ensure the speed of information. As for the rest, we’ll just leave it to those people.

"Also... in a bit, you go find someone to look for that Zhong Ding. He was originally a pawn we tossed out—if he isn’t dead, he’ll bite back.

"We must clean this up as quickly as possible."

"Alright."

The few of them began to discuss the details again, leaving nothing out, going over everything as thoroughly as they could.

They didn’t know that while their discussion was at its fiercest, two people had silently withdrawn from the rooftop.

Their figures drifted, ghostly and demonic.

In the blink of an eye, they’d already arrived at a deserted spot.

The man among them wearing a black mask casually released the other person’s shoulder.

"Did you see everything clearly?"

His voice was hoarse and low as he spoke.

The other person was an old man, dried-up and somewhat frail.

At this moment his face was dark and vicious. He was precisely that pawn, Zhong Ding, whom Boss Guo had said needed to be dealt with. He gritted his teeth and said:

"Why did we have to leave?"

"Or what?"

The masked man let out a cold laugh:

"Should we have jumped out directly so it’d be easier for them to silence you?

"You were smart today, secretly coming to find us. Only because of that did Su, the Chief of the Escort specially see to it that you could witness the treachery within.

"If not for that, you’d likely be a dead man before nightfall."

"..."

Zhong Ding was speechless, his brows tightly knitted:

"Then... what should I do now?"

"That’s not my concern. If you don’t want to die, come back with me and see how Su, the Chief of the Escort arranges things."

The masked man turned and left.

Zhong Ding hesitated slightly, then finally clenched his teeth and followed behind him.

As things stood, he no longer harbored any delusions about the Martial God Key.

But Boss Guo... must pay the price!

...

...

The day flashed by, and at night the sky was dotted with stars.

Under cover of darkness, a group of thirty to fifty men quietly dropped small boats into the water and, without a sound, headed toward the large vessel of the Ziyang Escort Agency.

A short while later they drew near, exchanged glances, and each used their own methods to board the ship.

With a sweep of his gaze, the man at their head frowned slightly:

"So lax?"

He turned and beckoned slightly, and the people behind him immediately leapt up one after another, landing on the deck.

The group said nothing more and instantly spread out, moving toward the cabins to investigate.

Thirty to fifty people was not many, but not few either, and in a blink they had all vanished into the cabins.

In the forest In the dark, Boss Guo lay concealed, Thousand mile Sight in the palm, peeking through it with a frown.

"Why is it this quiet?"

He’d assumed that as soon as these men boarded, there would definitely be an immediate commotion.

Yet now it was as quiet as if nothing was happening at all!?

Was that not strange and bizarre?

Just as he was stunned, he suddenly heard an angry shout from the ship:

"Who dares intrude upon the large ship of my Ziyang Escort Agency?"

"Do you even know whose ship this is?"

After the two shouts, Blade Light and sword shadows intertwined, and screams rose without end.

When Boss Guo saw this, he finally relaxed a little.

At the same time he secretly shook his head:

"Su Mo has quite the reputation, but I didn’t expect he manages his men so loosely."

Beside him, "Wang Sanhei," still dressed like a scholar, gently shook his head at these words:

"This might also be the burden of reputation.

"Others don’t dare cross his edge, and over time, they can’t help but grow arrogant, thinking no one would dare target them."

At this, Boss Guo’s brows creased slightly.

He stared for a long moment, then could only nod in the end.

The sounds of killing shook the sky, but for a moment he still couldn’t tell what the situation on the ship actually was.

Focusing carefully, after quite some time, the shouting and killing had not diminished in the slightest.

He couldn’t help but frown slightly and look back at "Wang Sanhei."

"Something seems off... why is the fighting only inside the cabins?"
