Chapter 531: Chapter 244: Night Lord’s Scheme_3

Su Mo’s words had reached this point, and Wan Cangxin no longer knew what sort of expression to make.
He thought he had hidden his tracks well, if not flawlessly, but how could he have imagined that Su Mo had already discerned so much?
No wonder Su Mo showed no surprise when he saw the Heavenly Spring Twelve Swords last night.
All of this was within his expectations.
The reason Su Mo had been sitting idle these past few days was also to wait for his own moves.
He was also waiting to see how the Heavenly Spring Twelve Swords would make their move.
In the end, it seemed as if he were aloof from the world, but in reality, he was just watching the chaos unfold.
For a moment, there was nothing left in Wan Cangxin’s mind except admiration.
"Since I’m aware of the connection between Brother Wan and Eternal Night Valley, it’s not difficult to guess where that ’Wan Cangxin’ seen by Master Liu came from.
"So, I’ve just confirmed another matter.
"The Tianqu Sword event was orchestrated by the Night Lord, with one of the purposes being to draw the attention of the vast majority to Tianqu City.
"After meeting that Sword Obsession in Tianqu City, I knew what the Night Lord was truly plotting—it was the Chimei Forest.
"Today, the Youquan Sect master was lured into Tianqu City by a letter from the Night Lord, to watch the Tianqu Sword event.
"And I... what I really want to know is, did the Night Lord himself truly come?
"When I saw the Night Lord on Muyun Platform, I wondered if he was an impostor, then the real Night Lord would surely attack Chimei Forest in person.
"If he is real, then I fear all my previous conjectures might be wrong."
Su Mo smiled as he said this: "Brother Wan asked me outside the inn last time, why let Master Hongyun and the others go to Rain Cold Valley.
"Do you remember what I told you then, Brother Wan?"
"Lord Su, the Chief of the Escort said at the time... whether there will be changes in Rain Cold Valley depends on the changes in the Tianqu Sword event."
How could Wan Cangxin forget something that happened just today?
And now, he understood that the main variable in the Tianqu Sword event was whether the Night Lord himself would show up!
His entire scheme, from the river route Along the River to the Tianqu Sword event, was perfectly controlled.
One was to build fame for "Wan Cangxin."
Another was to trap the Youquan Sect master.
The third was to exploit Wan Cangxin’s origins to scheme against Wusheng Hall.
The fourth was to distract the attention of Tianqu City while secretly targeting Chimei Forest.
To say it was killing two birds with one stone would be an understatement; the layout was like a spider web, complicated and intertwined.
The most crucial part is probably the Chimei Forest.
If the Youquan Sect master has been trapped in Tianqu City and fails to seize the Chimei Forest, wouldn’t it just be making a wedding dress for the Dongcheng Sects?
The Night Lord... he’s not a good person, so why would he like to do such good deeds?
Among these four objectives, helping "Wan Cangxin" gain fame doesn’t require his intervention.
Trapping the Youquan Sect master is also unimportant whether he is present or not.
If present, it would only add more variables.
As for exploiting the origins of Wan Cangxin, as well as the entanglement between him and Wan Yilan, that was a story for later.
It’s only the matter of the Chimei Forest that’s urgent.
He must come in person!
Su Mo, having calculated this point, knew that judging by this man’s modus operandi, he was bound to feint.
On the surface, he would surely go to Tianqu City to further disguise his real targets.
So, once it’s confirmed that the Night Lord on Muyun Platform is fake, the true whereabouts of the real Night Lord go without saying.
And this is also why Duan Song gave up on the Tianqu Sword event and went to Rain Cold Valley.
As for the Ziyang Sect in Tianqu City, who agreed to help Luo Changsheng maintain the situation at the Tianqu Sword event...
It was last night that Wei Ziyi, with the Ziyang Order, took advantage of the city’s attention being drawn by "Wan Cangxin" and Wan Cangxin, to quietly make her way to Rain Cold Valley.
At this point, the schemes of both parties had been set in motion; it all depends on the disputes tonight.
At this point in the conversation, night had already quietly descended.
Su Mo watched Wan Cangxin calmly.
But Wan Cangxin’s face was fraught with struggle.
The methods the Night Lord used on him were utterly manipulative.
He really wanted to confront the Night Lord, to ask for a clear explanation.
But...
With a tight frown, Wan Cangxin took a deep breath:
"Lord Su, the Chief of the Escort... please forgive me for not being able to go.
"Now, for me, it means I have completely escaped the Night Lord’s control.
"And I’ve avoided the eyes of the world.
"Now is the best time to investigate Wusheng Hall...
"I, I want to go to Wusheng Hall first for a look."
Su Mo smiled faintly, nodding his head:
"It’s human nature for Brother Wan to have this idea.
"I naturally won’t hinder you, but I must caution Brother Wan before parting..."
Wan Cangxin immediately nodded.
At this moment, he held Su Mo in awe, as the Night Lord was profoundly cunning and almost chillingly so.
Observing his scheme unfold in all its complexity.
What’s most terrifying is that even if his schemes do not succeed everywhere, he still has fallback plans and can quickly come up with new strategies.
Every move he makes seems natural and unfathomable.
One could easily fall into a trap without realizing it and be outwitted!
Yet Su Mo was insightful, unweaving complex webs, striking the critical points.
His capabilities left Wan Cangxin in complete awe.
Now Su Mo had advice to offer, and he was all ears.
Only to hear Su Mo simply say:
"Brother Wan, remember to be cautious."
"..."
That’s it?
Wan Cangxin was momentarily speechless, but after a brief silence, he felt that these words were the ultimate truth, indisputable doctrine.
He finally gave a fist salute: "Thank you, Lord Su, the Chief of the Escort, I... must take my leave now."
"Please!"
Su Mo returned the salute to send off Wan Cangxin, who then took one last look at Liuyin City before stomping his foot, leaping up, and vanishing in the blink of an eye.
Su Mo withdrew his gaze from Wan Cangxin, looking at the two secret books in his hands before tucking them into his bosom.
He then sighed.
In truth, he wasn’t too keen on letting Wan Cangxin meet the Night Lord.
If the Night Lord insisted that Wan Cangxin was Wan Yutang’s own son, should Wan Cangxin believe it?
"Now, it’s just right."
Su Mo sat down cross-legged and looked up.
Under the cover of the night, Liuyin City was unexpectedly peaceful.
It was just like the calm before the storm.
