Chapter 230: Chapter 145 Where is the Vital Point?

Su Mo and Yang Xiaoyun naturally didn’t need to talk much.

Members of Lengyue Palace like Chu Qiuyu are from reputable sects, and thus Master Hongyun also looked at them differently.

Moreover, they talked about the Great Village Chief of the Xuanlong Water Fortress.

“The reputation of the Great Village Chief is extraordinary, and the old monk has long heard of it. It is rare that he makes life better for the people along the river, and he is highly respected, which is admirable.”

“Ha ha ha!”

Upon hearing Master Hongyun say this, the Great Village Chief suddenly laughed as if he was about to devour someone.

“I am a child of the people living along the river. Once I made my fortune, naturally I couldn’t let those who birthed and raised me continue to suffer.

“Only the nature of this business is a bit disgraceful… However, without my Xuanlong Water Fortress, there would be Xuanbing Water Fort, Xuan Gui Water Fort, Xuantian Water Fort… Ultimately, this is the way business is done on this river, and it’s unavoidable.

“Since I’ve chosen this path, at least I can ensure that no lives are harmed, and although I am barely getting by, I can still show others some mercy, which is better than most.”

These words are not normally spoken, but unexpectedly, the notorious Master Hongyun spoke highly of him, which made it hard for him to contain himself.

“Extremely rare.”

Master Hongyun spoke earnestly, causing even greater joy in the Great Village Chief’s heart: “Good monk, if anyone else calls you a demon monk in the future, I will tear their mouths apart.”

The conversation then moved to the leader of the Hongye Gang.

Master Hongyun sighed lightly: “It is difficult being alone. The leader of the Hongye Gang provides a place for them to stay, which is indeed admirable. However, her methods are quite ruthless, slightly tarnishing her virtuous rewards.”

The leader of the Hongye Gang frowned and snorted, without saying much.

Finally, it was the turn of the Qingshe Alliance Leader.

But just after mentioning the ’Qingshe Alliance Leader’, the previously compassionate and smiling Master Hongyun’s expression suddenly darkened.

“Benefactor, are you the Qingshe Alliance Leader?”

The Qingshe Alliance Leader’s face was all smiles: “Exactly, exactly. Has Master Hongyun also heard of me?”

“Hmm.”

Master Hongyun nodded lightly: “The Qingshe Alliance is quite infamous, especially notorious along the river. Particularly, your alliance is skilled at using poisons. To test the potency of poisons, you once poisoned the drinking water of fishermen, resulting in an entire village from top to bottom, over three hundred people, screaming in agony as they died.

“But I wonder, is this matter true or false?”

His eyes half-closed, a clear anger flashed within them.

This sudden change stupefied everyone in the room, who unconsciously turned their gaze to the Qingshe Alliance Leader.

The Xuanlong Water Village Chief was the first to speak:

“Perhaps Master Hongyun is mistaken? Although this snake employs extremely cruel methods, it rarely offends the common people.”

The leader of the Hongye Gang was silent, but who knows what she was thinking.

ZhuGe Changtian then looked toward the Qingshe Alliance Leader: “You speak, what exactly happened?”

The Qingshe Alliance Leader sighed.

“Having just listened to the Master describe their actions and styles, although briefly, it revealed everything as if he knew them well. Then I knew it was not suitable to stay here long.

“But I still held onto some hope… Now it seems, I was wrong.

“The Master’s words are completely true. Everything he said is factual.”

“What did you say?”

The Xuanlong Water Village Chief suddenly burst into anger, slapping his hand down fiercely, about to stand up, but unexpectedly, as he exerted force, his body felt weightless.

His Inner Strength was utterly gone, he suddenly looked up: “You… did you tamper with the tea?”

“What?”

“Nonsense!”

ZhuGe Changtian and the leader of the Hongye Gang also tried to channel their inner breath at the same time, but indeed, they had none.

ZhuGe Changtian’s face turned black as iron: “…you, I actually trusted you once, yet you really have a green snake’s mouth and a wasp’s tail… What poison did you use?”

“With the snake’s mouth and the wasp’s tail, both exceedingly poisonous… the most deadly is naturally the heart of a woman. The poison I added to the tea was exactly this.”

The Qingshe Alliance Leader smiled lightly: “This poison is slightly bitter at first, then turns sweet, harmonizing well with the tea. Normally, it would be difficult to make you believe me and drink from my hand. However, as today presented a shared cause of repelling a common enemy, and a close escape from a major disaster, you inevitably lowered your guard a little.

“This action was perfectly timed.

“Lord Su, what are your thoughts?”

Su Mo was also slumped in his chair at this moment, with a face full of disbelief: “You… what do you mean by this?”

The Qingshe Alliance Leader carefully looked at Su Mo, seeing that his expression did not seem false, then sighed:

“To be so deeply disappointing, Lord Su, within Xuanji Valley you defeated the Youquan Sect, your martial arts are supreme, intelligent, and brave.

“I had thought that by now you would understand my purpose today.

“However, it seems you are still clueless.”

Su Mo’s expression switched between cloudy and clear.

Then he heard Master Hongyun gently shaking his head: “Benefactor, turning back is the shore, and it is not yet too late to stop making further mistakes.”

Hearing Master Hongyun speak, ZhuGe Changtian and others suddenly came to their senses.

Then they heard the Xuanlong Water Village Chief hurriedly say: “Master Hongyun, you did not drink that tea, now is the moment to save us from collapse!”

“Yes, master, now only you can handle this. This person’s martial arts are so powerful, my brothers in the Jiaolong Association might not be his match…”

ZhuGe Changtian also urgently spoke out.

But before Master Hongyun could reply, they heard footsteps rushing over.

It turned out to be a dozen wicked-looking monks bursting in five or six at a time.
