Mo Chengkong…
These three characters were extremely unfamiliar to Su Mo.
However, Liu Mo and the other two had different reactions upon hearing them.
Seeing the puzzled look on Su Mo’s face, Liu Mo explained softly:
“This is indeed one of Endless Blade Tong Yun’s aliases; even Yuejiang Pavilion has records of it.
“We followed this clue, which led us to the investigation thus far.”
Upon hearing this, Su Mo’s brow furrowed: “In Yuejiang Pavilion?”
“Indeed, in Yuejiang…”
Just as Liu Mo was about to nod, he abruptly paused, and a look of astonishment flashed in his eyes: “This isn’t right.”
“What’s wrong?”
Unable to bear the sight of their confusion, Fu Han Yuan couldn’t help but ask.
The cold light in Feng Baichuan’s eyes intensified, his aura of menace seeming even stronger… but Su Mo and Liu Mo were already familiar with his state.
This man was most likely even more confused.
“Tong Yun’s actions in Dongcheng back then were all in the investigation of a matter.
“With the preface of the Huai Mountain Five Tigers, this matter must have a significant connection to that scroll of music score.
“While he was doing these things, he used the alias Mo Chengkong.”
Liu Mo had a strange look on his face: “Moreover, when he sought out the Huai Mountain Five Tigers, intending to hijack the Ziyang Escort Agency’s escort, he also used the same name. The reason the Huai Mountain Five Tigers found out his real identity was during his sneak attack…”
He glanced at Su Mo as he spoke.
Su Mo smiled: “When he attacked my father using the Seven Emotions Undying Blade’s Divine Unfazed, his true nature was exposed… However, the situation afterward took a severe turn.
“He should have known that after his unsuccessful sneak attack on my father with the Seven Emotions Undying Blade, the Huai Mountain Five Tigers would surely be able to deduce his identity.
“But after that incident, he did not silence them.
“Not only that, but he even left his alias behind at Yuejiang Pavilion…
“Doesn’t that seem a bit illogical?”
Fu Han Yuan immediately nodded: “Exactly, exactly; if he was undertaking a covert operation and took great pains to change his name, why leave clues for us to follow? With that, wouldn’t all the previous twists and turns be nonsensical?”
Feng Baichuan spoke coldly:
“What exactly does our uncle master… want to do?”
“That, I do not know.”
Su Mo shook his head, the turbulence in his heart growing stronger.
The words of the scarred man had traced the origin of it all back to twenty years ago.
It was even linked to the annihilation of the Yu Family.
Suddenly, he recalled that on his way from Heavenly Blade Sect back to Luoxia City, passing by Hui River, Xu Luyin had stolen the Mandarin Duck List under the cover of night.
The person he met then was a master without name or sect.
At the time, he felt this situation was somewhat familiar.
Now, thinking back, when he first encountered the black-clothed man at the edge of the forest who entrusted the Brocade Box to be delivered to ’Wang Xianglin’ at Jiming Post, and the four people who hijacked the escort on the way, weren’t they all high-ranking but nameless figures in Jianghu?
But after that, Su Mo had experienced too much, and as a result, had gradually forgotten.
Only the occasional appearances of Qilin Swordsman were deeply etched in his memory…
And now, could it be that Three Extremes Sect was involved in the calamity that befell the Yu Family back then?
It was indeed a possibility.
Three Extremes Sect consisted of Heavenly, Earth, and Renzi Sects, and those he encountered in Heavenly Blade Sect were likely from Earth Sect or Renzi Sect.
According to Li Siyun, Qingye Alliance Leader and those monks probably came from Heavenly Sect.
Among Three Extremes Sect, Heavenly Sect was the most intricate, with its Sect Leader enigmatic and inscrutable.
But with what he currently knew, to pin everything on Three Extremes Sect seemed insufficient.
However, it was certain that Three Extremes Sect was inextricably linked to this affair.
From the words of the scarred man, too many details did not match what Su Mo had understood before.
He shook his head, looking at Liu Mo and the others:
“What are your plans going forward?”
Liu Mo glanced at Fu Han Yuan and Feng Baichuan.
Fu Han Yuan rolled his eyes: “Of course I’ll listen to you.”
“You decide.”
Feng Baichuan was unequivocal, immediately passing the decision to Liu Mo.
It wasn’t hard to understand why Liu Mo had become so talkative upon their reunion…
Fu Han Yuan was ultimately a pawn in this quest, eager to clear his own suspicions as well as seeking vengeance.
And due to a matter of trust, his words were not taken seriously.
He certainly could not be in charge.
As for Feng Baichuan… he was awkward with words, often failing to express his intentions clearly.
In the end, they relied on Liu Mo.
At this juncture, if Liu Mo had still been as reticent and tight-lipped as before, many things would be left undone.
Liu Mo let out a soft breath:
“For the moment, our clues have all but run dry. However, since that escort was sent to the Yu Family back then, perhaps some traces remain?
“Now, we can only try our luck.”
Fu Han Yuan and Feng Baichuan immediately nodded; indeed, there was no better strategy at the moment.
And their trip here was not to investigate the truth of the past, nor to search for any musical score…
They were simply looking for Tong Yun.
Thus, after some contemplation, Su Mo finally said:
“If that is the case, gentlemen, you might need to be more cautious in your actions.
“Along my journey, I also uncovered some situations and feared saying too much might involve you in trouble from which you cannot extricate yourselves.”
