Chapter 228: Chapter 144 A Mix-Up_2

Su Mo and his companions walked over, and the members of the Jiaolong Association stepped aside to let them pass.

Approaching the scene, from a distance, they could see a large boat obstructing the river.

There were no drawings on the sail, only a large character: Suffering!

A group of monks with fierce faces and malignant airs, stood solemnly on the ship head, some with their hands put together in prayer, silent and unmoving.

Some directed their gazes over, their eyes full of compassion.

On the big ship head, there sat a little monk, holding a small abacus from who knows where, clicking and clacking, yet with a worried frown on his face.

It was the monk in charge of reception at the gate of Hongyun Temple that day.

As soon as ZhuGe Changtian finished speaking, figures on the boat sprang into action, stepping on air and crossing the void, and in just a few steps, they were already in front of the Jiaolong Association’s Water Fort.

The one in the lead was Master Hongyun himself.

To his left stood a towering figure with a fierce countenance, causing both Su Mo and Yang Xiaoyun to feel a sense of familiarity.

After a moment’s thought, it dawned on them.

“Ban Tiankuang!?”

Yang Xiaoyun whispered to Su Mo: “I almost didn’t recognize him after he shaved his head. He’s converted?”

Su Mo remembered what that little reception monk had told him, that Ban Tiankuang was originally to be dealt with by his senior brother.

But Ban Tiankuang resisted, and the senior brother had to admit his skills were not enough and asked Master Hongyun to step in.

At that time, the little monk said that this guy was going to have a bad time…

Master Hongyun practiced the Suffering People Scripture, specializing in converting the intractable.

Now it seems, his reputation is well deserved.

But thinking of the formidable Suffering People Scripture, Su Mo had to admit, Ban Tiankuang’s conversion… was not really that unusual.

To the other side of Master Hongyun was another monk with a fierce look.

However, Su Mo and Yang Xiaoyun did not recognize him; perhaps he was a new recruit taken in along their journey.

The old monk still maintained a lean complexion, standing there, his monk robe flapping and whistling in the cold wind.

Flanked by two ferocious figures, he looked… as if he was a hostage taken by strongmen.

Of course, whether it was ZhuGe Changtian or any of the three bandit chiefs, none dared to underestimate this old monk.

They saw the old monk press his palms together, uttering ’Amitabha’ and was about to speak, when he suddenly halted:

“Master Su?”

Upon hearing this, ZhuGe Changtian and the others were a bit dumbfounded.

Instinctively, they turned back to look at Su Mo.

They watched as Su Mo stepped forward, speaking with a smile:

“Master Hongyun, it’s been months since we last met; your demeanor remains unchanged.”

ZhuGe Changtian and the rest felt their vision darken.

So it turns out that Su Mo was an old acquaintance of this Hongyun Demon Monk?

The already tense situation instantly grew even tenser.

Not to mention the distance, the deep Inner Strength and terrifying physical strength that Su Mo displayed in the Water Prison, by snapping chains and breaking handcuffs, were enough for none of them to dare to underestimate him.

What’s more, there was his record of having decisively defeated the Youquan Sect.

ZhuGe Changtian even wanted to snatch back the pig’s leg that the fat man was biting into.

He could eat, but smacking his lips like that… really wasn’t proper behavior.

Of course, no matter what he thought inwardly, one still had to maintain a certain manner on the surface, barely managing a smile.

They heard Master Hongyun say with a smile:

“In a sea of suffering, only a peaceful mind brings joy, I trust Master Su has been well?”

“Thank you for your concern.”

Su Mo replied with a smile: “I’ve been fairly tranquil.”

“That is good.”

Master Hongyun nodded.

Then they heard Su Mo ask: “Master, what brings you to visit the Jiaolong Association at this time?”

“Master Su might not be aware…”

Master Hongyun began, “This humble monk, leading many disciples, has been undertaking hardships along the river, and once we reached the Three Rivers Water Area, we had to continue by boat. It so happened that we heard Master Zhuge Changtian of the Jiaolong Association, for some unknown reason, has blocked off the river route, causing many merchants and travellers to be trapped in Three Rivers Bay.

“Therefore, we ventured unwarrantedly to visit in the dead of night, with the hope of asking Master Zhuge to be lenient and not to compound one mistake with another.”

ZhuGe Changtian’s face darkened, and he hurriedly said: “Master! Blockading the river was not my doing.”

“Oh?”

Master Hongyun glanced at ZhuGe Changtian: “This old monk would like to hear the details.”

Where would ZhuGe Changtian dare to conceal anything?

He immediately recounted everything about the Eternal Night Valley’s plot against the Jiaolong Association, and their intention to take control of the entire water route.

After listening, Master Hong Ye remained silent for a while before they heard Ban Tiankuang, Ning Wubian, utter a cold laugh:

“Master, we can’t take their words for granted. We still don’t know what the Eternal Night Valley is about. They clack their upper and lower lips together, making far-fetched excuses, who knows whether what they say is true or false?”

Upon hearing this, ZhuGe Changtian glared furiously at Ban Tiankuang:

“How ridiculous, ZhuGe Changtian may not be talented, but I am not of the sort who fears death for the sake of life.

“Why would I deceive you?

“As for your reputations, I have heard of them for a long time, your methods of capturing people along the river for forcible conversion are hardly honorable and upright.

“Yet even so, I still treated you with courtesy upon your visit.

“Great monk, to slander one’s reputation without proof, really is without justification!”

Ban Tiankuang let out a cold laugh, about to retort.

But then they heard Master Hongyun speak lightly: “Hui Bian, be quiet.”

“Master…”

Ban Tiankuang’s expression subtly changed.

They then heard the old monk say: “Your heart is burdened with too much malice, and you have yet to see through it. Today’s matter, your unfounded speculation, isn’t it also without foundation? Enough, enough… extend your hand.”

“Master!”

Ban Tiankuang’s face drastically changed: “I was wrong, disciple truly knows I was wrong!”
