Chapter 120: Chapter 108 Secret_3

Wei Ziyi spoke these words in a tone of detached indifference.

Yet, the information conveyed in her speech was indeed quite startling.

Su Mo remained silent, as if none of this had come as a surprise to him, while Yang Xiaoyun stood agape:

“So, you’re saying that City Lord Hua… is your mother?”

“Yep, by birth.”

Wei Ziyi cracked a smile: “But, I’m actually not very familiar with her. After all, I was sent to Lengyue Palace very early on, and over the years I’ve hardly seen her a few times. And every time I did see her…”

As she reached this point, the feigned carelessness on her face involuntarily faded, replaced by a soft voice: “Every time I saw her, she seemed to have grown more solemn.

“I wonder what aged her more, the passing years or the Jianghu…”

Outside Luoxia City, a group of people were hurrying along.

Among them, two people were supporting an old man with white hair and a youthful face, while two others were carrying a corpse.

The last person was bringing up the rear, keeping watch. At this moment, he suddenly called a halt.

“They haven’t followed us.”

As he spoke, the rest of the group let out a sigh of relief.

These people were naturally the experts of Seven Extremes Hall.

Having left Ziyang Escort Agency, they had traveled non-stop for fear Su Mo would go back on his word and catch up to kill them all.

It was not until they reached this point that they were able to regain some composure.

They then went to the roadside, intending to rest briefly.

Feng Wuxiang had been struck by two of Su Mo’s palms, and now his normally ruddy face had lost much of its color, looking paler than before.

The Hammer Master supported him to sit down, and he began to sit in meditation to regulate his breath and heal his internal injuries.

“Great Hall Master, have some water.”

He then took out a water bag and handed it to Feng Wuxiang.

Feng Wuxiang, hearing this, opened his eyes and said with a smile, “Thank you for your trouble.”

The Hammer Master quickly shook his head: “It’s no trouble, no trouble at all, Great Hall Master. You are the one who has suffered, taking that scoundrel’s palm strike for the sake of our lives…”

“It’s my duty, since I am the Great Hall Master of Seven Extremes Hall.”

He spoke softly: “It’s just that Wang Xiong’s death is a pity, he should be given a proper burial.”

“Indeed.”

The Hammer Master nodded: “As such, please rest well, Great Hall Master. I won’t disturb you any longer.”

As he spoke, he turned around, but his face showed none of the previous ease, now filled with gravity instead.

And behind him, Feng Wuxiang’s face had not a trace of a smile, with a fleeting deep murderous intent, yet seemingly nonchalant as ever.

Leaving Feng Wuxiang to meditate there, the Hammer Master crossed the few steps to reach the remaining Weapon Masters.

The others were fetching water by the riverbank at the moment, discussing in whispers with their backs turned to Feng Wuxiang.

“What do you think we should do?”

One of them immediately made a cutting gesture with his hand, signifying ’kill’.

With this action, all five men fell silent.

But their silence didn’t last long before the Hammer Master spoke in a low voice:

“Feng Wuxiang is adept at hiding malice behind a smile. Just now, when I gave him water, he actually thanked me with a smile.

“Today, inside Ziyang Escort Agency, he deceived blatantly, which shows that to save his own life, there’s nothing he wouldn’t do.”

“Nowadays, being so courteous to us… but who knows if they’ve already harbored schemes in their hearts, plotting how to murder after recovering from injuries.”

This comment, like a heavy hammer, struck everyone’s heart.

Feeling anxious is natural when guilty; when Su Mo proposed the three-strike pact, they had stopped Feng Wuxiang from walking away.

Now that Feng Wuxiang isn’t dead, would he let this vendetta go?

Perhaps in Feng Wuxiang’s heart, at this moment, the ones he hates most are not the severely injured Su Mo, but these few Weapon Masters.

“If you ask me, let’s just go all out… kill Feng Wuxiang, take his Seven Absolute Heart Technique, and let us brothers take control of Seven Extremes Hall.”

“But after all, he is the Great Hall Master…”

“You all need to realize, since the battle at Ziyang Escort Agency, this Great Hall Master has become a death warrant, it’s either he rushes our deaths, or we rush his.”

“Another point, he has suffered severe injuries now, this is a rare, once-in-a-lifetime, and there won’t be a second opportunity like this.”

Everyone, sentence by sentence, had already made up their minds.

Looking at each other, they nodded simultaneously and stood up, their intent to kill already settled.

But the moment they turned their heads, everyone’s complexion drastically changed.

The spot where Feng Wuxiang was seated in meditation was now empty; where could their Great Hall Master’s shadow be?

“Chase!!!!”

A furious shout, and the Five Great Weapon Masters took off at the same time, searching for Feng Wuxiang’s whereabouts.

Just as they had resolved to kill Feng Wuxiang, he had escaped; once he recovers from his severe injuries and returns, how could he spare them a way to live?

If they don’t find and execute Feng Wuxiang, then they are the ones who will die.

The Five Great Weapon Masters acted one after another, and in the blink of an eye, only Wang Xiong’s corpse remained in this place.

Less than the time it takes to drink a cup of tea later, bubbles started agitating the surface of the water, and suddenly a person burst up from underwater, gasping for several deep breaths, choking and coughing incessantly.

This person was naturally Feng Wuxiang.

While they debated whether to kill him, he stealthily dived into the water.

When they turned and left to look for him, he came out of the water, planning to take the opportunity to escape.

“A bunch of thankless wretches, wait till I… I recover, and I’ll show you…”

Gasping for air, Feng Wuxiang walked out of the water and reached the shore, but before he could catch his breath, a shadow suddenly enveloped him.

Looking up, there was the Hammer Master who had just earlier supported him to sit and provided him water.

Though he wielded a hammer, he was not a rude man; how far could an heavily injured Feng Wuxiang get? Guessing that he would still be nearby, the Hammer Master came back to check and caught him precisely.

Feng Wuxiang responded very quickly: “Just now I suddenly felt unbearably hot inside, so I thought about cooling down in the water. Eh? Where did everyone else go?”

“They have gone looking for you.”

With a smile, the Hammer Master said, “If the Great Hall Master felt stifled, you should just tell us, we would naturally find a solution for you, why go into the water by yourself? Come on, let me support you…”

Before he could finish, he reached out to grab, aiming to cover Feng Wuxiang’s major acupoints with his hand.

“Thank you.”

Feng Wuxiang extended a hand, blocking the path of the grab after all, while his other hand stretched out lightning-fast.

Seeing this, how could the Hammer Master not know the danger?

Immediately upon contact, he felt a wave of Inner Strength bearing down, and at the moment of impact, the Hammer Master was sent flying backwards.

Normally, this palm strike would have been more than enough to kill the Hammer Master, but now, under severe injuries, Feng Wuxiang managed to repel the Hammer Master but also fell back into the water himself.

Looking up again, the Hammer Master was flying in, blood dripping from his mouth, brandishing a Gold-Plated Hammer, descending mightily from the heavens!
