Chapter 227: Chapter 144: A Mistake Caused by Wrong Timing

“Hongyun Demon Monk!?”

ZhuGe Changtian’s face turned deathly pale: “How has he arrived? What are we to do now?”

Master Hongyun’s deeds during his journey eastward were already well-known to everybody.

Looking back at the three villainous factions, they too were looking at each other with dismay.

The Qingshe Alliance Leader glanced at Su Mo: “As things stand, it’s up to the Master to turn the tide. I still have urgent matters within the alliance and must leave first.”

Saying this, he was ready to take his leave.

“You!?”

ZhuGe Changtian was so angry he nearly spat blood; just moments ago, he was planning to form an alliance with them, but now in the face of disaster, one was fleeing first?

However, with a swift move, the Hongye Gang Leader had already blocked his path.

“You clueless poison tooth, do you really think you can escape?”

“…What do you mean, Hongye Gang Leader?”

The Qingshe Alliance Leader’s countenance darkened slightly: “Do you intend to forcibly detain me?”

The Hongye Gang Leader shook his head right away: “If you truly wish to leave, why would I stop you? Just use that serpentine brain of yours and think carefully. The Hongyun Demon Monk has already arrived at the Jiaolong Association; is your Qingshe Alliance still far from his reach?”

“This…”

The Qingshe Alliance Leader’s brows furrowed slightly: “What do you suggest we do then?”

“For the moment, since we are all gathered here, why not line up our forces and confront this Hongyun Demon Monk head-on? Let’s see what skills he has that could bring all our river comrades under his command.”

The Hongye Gang Leader had a magnanimous spirit: “Otherwise, when trouble strikes, it would just be a matter of sooner or later.”

“That’s true…”

The Qingshe Alliance Leader seemed to ponder something, once again giving Su Mo a sideward glance and let out a soft sigh of relief.

“Hahahaha!”

The Xuanlong Water Village Chief let out a hearty laugh:

“Although the Hongye Gang Leader is a woman, her words deeply resonate with me.

“Not like that poisonous snake, murmuring and hesitating like a woman!

“The fame of the Hongyun Demon Monk precedes him; it is time to meet him and see what kind of character he really is.”

His single statement managed to turn the faces of both the Qingshe Alliance Leader and the Hongye Gang Leader black with displeasure.

ZhuGe Changtian sighed: “Eternal Night Valley has misled me. I heard long ago that the Hongyun Demon Monk was coming, so I had started preparations early. However, I hadn’t anticipated Eternal Night Valley’s sudden betrayal, which led to all my strategies being swept away like driftwood on the current.

“Now, I can only rely on all of you.”

As he said this, the voice of Master Hongyun came again:

“Amitabha, I am Monk Hongyun. I dare to request a meeting with ZhuGe Changtian, the Great Master of the Jiaolong Association.”

Master Hongyun’s voice remained steady and unhurried, devoid of any worldly frivolity.

“The Great Monk is getting impatient.”

The Xuanlong Water Village Chief laughed heartily: “Let’s go, I’ll have a look first.”

After he spoke, he took the lead in leaving.

The others exchanged glances and followed behind. Just as ZhuGe Changtian was about to follow them, he was pulled back by Su Mo.

“Do you need something, Su, the Chief of the Escort?”

ZhuGe Changtian hastily asked: “If you have any commands, I dare not disobey!”

“It’s nothing, just…” Su Mo glanced at the plump one: “Do you have any food here?”

“Hahaha.”

ZhuGe Changtian nodded repeatedly: “I will have someone fetch it right away.”

“Then my thanks to you.” Su Mo said with a smile: “I promised her just now that after tidying up this mess, I would get her food, so I can’t renege on my word and get fat off it.”

“That’s understandable, understandable!” ZhuGe Changtian ordered someone to quickly fetch food from the kitchen, and then said, “This individual truly is brave; to be truthful, having operated on this river for half my life, I have seen all sorts of characters. Such valiant heroes are indeed rare… um, Lord Su, please await for a moment; I still have matters to deal with here, and I must excuse myself.”

Having said this, he clasped his fists and led his men in a grand procession to go greet Master Hongyun.

Su Mo and Yang Xiaoyun exchanged a glance: “Shall we also meet him?”

“Having found Hongyun Temple empty earlier, now that we have met, naturally, we should have an audience.”

Yang Xiaoyun immediately nodded.

Chu Qiuyu listened, startled: “Are you referring to that Master Hongyun? Do you two know him from before?”

“Indeed, there is a past acquaintance.” Su Mo said with a smile: “This Great Monk is no ordinary person; he truly is extraordinary.”

“To be able to convert all the bandits along both sides of the river and have them join his monastic order, he’s certainly no ordinary person.”

Chu Qiuyu nodded in agreement.

“Heroine Chu, will you join us?” Yang Xiaoyun asked.

“I was about to ask the two of you to introduce me.” Chu Qiuyu smiled: “It would be a pity not to meet such a fascinating person when he’s right before us.”

“Then let’s go.” Su Mo extended his arm in invitation: “After you.”

“After you.” Chu Qiuyu also made a deferential gesture.

Together, everyone made their way, while the plump individual, who was fiercely brave just moments before, now cowered behind them, looking as if he was on his last legs.

It wasn’t until someone from the Jiaolong Association brought her a freshly roasted pig’s leg that her eyes sparkled with excitement, as she quickly grabbed it and started gnawing, her mouth dripping with grease.

Within the Xuanlong Water Fortress, peace had been restored at this moment.

Along the way, they saw many traitors bound hand and foot, thrown to one side, waiting to be dealt with later.

Approaching the great gates of the fortress, they could hear ZhuGe Changtian’s voice carrying from afar:

“May I know which one is Master Hongyun? I am ZhuGe Changtian, sorry for not greeting you from afar!”

They had just arrived on the heels of Su Mo and were now beginning to engage in conversation.
