Chapter 160: Chapter 121: Invitation_3

This… This really doesn’t seem like something someone with a grudge could do.

But the decision of the Heavenly Blade Sect was beyond Su Mo’s expectations.

He thought these people were here to cause trouble, but… what is this?

Was he just picking up a mischievous child from the Heavenly Blade Sect?

Am I a kindergarten parent?

Su Mo grumbled internally, but then he saw Feng Baichuan staring at him icily.

For a moment, he felt annoyed, but then he heard Feng Baichuan’s icy voice: “May I ask if Su, the Chief of the Escort, has some time?”

“…Yes.”

Su Mo could only nod, but couldn’t help asking, “Why didn’t you just bring him back directly?”

Feng Baichuan coldly replied, “He wouldn’t leave.”

“…”

Su Mo was momentarily confused.

It took him a moment to realize.

After the Heavenly Blade Sect grabbed Liu Mo, he did not resist nor did he show any ill will toward them, but no matter what they asked, he wouldn’t speak up. They wanted to send him back to the Five Directions Gathering, but he refused. They worried that if they let him go, he might run back again.

This is why the Heavenly Blade Sect is not an evil sect or ruthless, otherwise, they could have just killed him without anyone knowing.

Instead, they didn’t just kill this Liu Mo but sent someone to find Su Mo, hoping he would take Liu Mo back…

This was already a very humane approach.

With things standing thus, Su Mo had nothing more to say, just nodded: “Very well, thank you for leading the way.”

“I’ll come with you.”

Yang Xiaoyun stepped forward.

Su Mo glanced at her and nodded.

Xiao Chuan and others, as well as the guard team, wanted to follow.

But Su Mo waved his hand: “We are here to pick someone up, not to cause trouble. Why bring so many people? You all just wait here. Xiao Chuan, take care of things here with the Vice Leader while I’m gone.”

“Yes, Chief.”

Xiao Chuan could only bow and agree.

“Brother Feng, please.”

After Su Mo finished instructing, he gestured for Feng Baichuan to lead the way.

Feng Baichuan extended his arm: “Please.”

Once they stepped outside, there were no horses; the group from the Heavenly Blade Sect had actually run on foot.

Su Mo and Yang Xiaoyun felt it would be inappropriate to ride horses, so they set off from the Five Directions Gathering, headed north using Qinggong, rushing towards the Heavenly Blade Sect.

On the road, the disciples of the Heavenly Blade Sect, starting from Feng Baichuan down, were as silent as ever.

It was as if in an instant they had turned into several Liu Mos, but compared to Liu Mo, these people additionally emitted a vibe of keeping others at bay.

But this whole day of frantic running showed Su Mo that these people were not as cold as he had imagined.

Everything around them was carefully observed.

Feng Baichuan led the way, and whenever any disciple behind him showed signs of weak Inner Strength, he would icily suggest taking a rest.

The rest periods weren’t long; once their Inner Strength was sufficiently recovered, he would coldly propose to keep moving.

He also occasionally observed Su Mo and Yang Xiaoyun, and seeing that they were not having a hard time, he would look away.

They set out at dawn, and before they knew it, it was already dusk.

They had hurried along the way, and now Heavenly Gate Mountain was in sight.

Feng Baichuan proposed another rest, and they sat for a while in the woods.

Su Mo took out his water bag from his arms, but frowned because it was empty, and said to Yang Xiaoyun:

“I rushed out too hastily this morning.”

Yang Xiaoyun shook her head: “It’s alright, I’m not thirsty.”

Just as they were talking, Feng Baichuan suddenly stood up, like a blade suddenly unsheathed.

His cold eyes swept over his fellow disciples one by one, then he came over to Su Mo and Yang Xiaoyun and silently handed over a water bag.

“…”

Su Mo hesitantly accepted: “Thanks…”

“You are guests, it’s expected.”

After speaking, he turned to leave but had only taken one step before turning back to coldly look at Su Mo: “I haven’t used it, there’s no poison.”

“…”

Su Mo felt that dealing with the people from Heavenly Blade Sect was quite interesting.

Always out of the blue, totally unexpected.

After he took a sip, he then handed the water bag to Yang Xiaoyun, trying to think of something to say to Feng Baichuan to ease the awkward atmosphere.

But suddenly, he frowned and looked towards the depths of the woods.

Seeing this, Yang Xiaoyun also tensed up.

The people from the Heavenly Blade Sect still had no idea, but soon they sensed something.

They all stood up and looked towards where Su Mo’s gaze was directed.

In a flash, they saw a person flying through the air, coming upside down about to hit the ground when Feng Baichuan suddenly called out:

“Save them!”

As soon as the words were spoken, several Heavenly Blade Sect Disciples moved instantly, two of them leaped into the air, and between their movements, a faint sound of unsheathing blades spread.

One caught the person on either side in the palm of their hands.

The others stood with Feng Baichuan in front of the rescued, watching for who had acted.

Raising their eyes, a Black Clothed Man gradually appeared.

His eyes swept over the group from the Heavenly Blade Sect, then he shook his head: “Wouldn’t it have been easier if you just quietly let yourself be killed? Why always involve others? The previous one I couldn’t provoke, but now… it’s just a matter of killing one or killing a group…”

Just as he finished saying this, his pupils suddenly dilated.

It was because his eyes had shifted and seen Su Mo.

Immediately, without a second thought, his form split into multiple images, and in the blink of an eye, he was gone.

The Heavenly Blade Sect people had been ready to launch an attack as soon as the blades were drawn.

But unexpectedly, despite his harsh words, he turned out to be a coward in action.

Without a word, he ran away.

In that moment, even the cold blades of the Heavenly Blade Sect were somewhat bewildered and at a loss.

Only Feng Baichuan seemed to understand something, turning his head to look at Su Mo, his face cold, his eyes slightly shocked, this seemed to be the limit of his emotional response.

Su Mo slightly shook his head, indicating he actually didn’t do anything.

Just sitting here, he had merely glanced at the other…

Why would he run, what’s it to me?

Then he heard someone from the Heavenly Blade Sect shout: “Brother, look, it’s him!”

The person the Heavenly Blade Sect Disciple was referring to was none other than the one they had saved.

Su Mo looked over, unsurprised, it was Ji Feiyang!
