At the end of the handwriting, it seemed to be slightly messy due to exhaustion.
After reading it, Su Zimo's expression was calm and there were no emotions in his eyes.
Curious, Nien Qi could not help but lean over to take a look.
"It's her!"
Nien Qi still had some impression of Shen Meng Qi.
The woman following behind Perfected Being Cang Lang outside Mo Spirit Weapon Workshop that day was Shen Meng Qi.
Nien Qi said, "Young master, could it be a forgery? Be careful of any traps!"
"There's nothing wrong with the handwriting."
Su Zimo replied before sneering coldly, "However, there's definitely a trap."
The more time passed, the more afraid Perfected Being Cang Lang would be.
Therefore, Su Zimo was certain that Perfected Being Cang Lang would definitely make a move!
However, he was on Misty Peak and Perfected Being Cang Lang had no chance at all.
Therefore, no matter what news came, be it from Ping Yang Town or somewhere else, Perfected Being Cang Lang only had a single motive – to lure him down the mountain!
When Nien Qi saw that Su Zimo was calm and did not lose his rationality, he was relieved.
However, right after, Su Zimo's next sentence shocked Nien Qi once more.
"I'm preparing to head down the mountain.
"Ah?
Nien Qi frowned and asked, "Young master, you're still going despite knowing that there's a trap?"
"That's right."
Su Zimo smiled and looked into the distance.
A cool breeze blew and his black hair danced gently. Su Zimo seemed to be immersed in his memories as he said softly with a slightly emotional expression, "It's just nice that we're all here. Let's settle the past and settle our grudges together."
"However, the other party has already prepared in advance and must have many methods to target you, young master!"
Nien Qi revealed a worried expression and analyzed calmly, "Young master, you haven't entered the Jin Dan realm yet. There's really no need for you to take the risk."
"Don't worry. If the situation doesn't seem right, I'll leave first."
Su Zimo smiled faintly and said, "Moreover, I haven't made any progress in my attempt to break through the Dao of Alchemy recently. I'm thinking of going out for a walk."
Not waiting for Nien Qi to continue persuading, Su Zimo had already driven the flying sword, turned into a stream of light, and broke through the sky.
…
Ten days later.
Ping Yang Town, late at night.
The long street was cold and cheerless. There were no pedestrians. It was completely silent.
There was a house not far from the Shen family. It was pitch black inside one of the houses.
Suddenly!
In the darkness, a pair of eyes lit up, and a thin figure was faintly discernible.
The man's ears twitched and he whispered, "Someone's coming!"
Immediately after, another low voice sounded from the side, "Brother Liang Heng is indeed powerful. Your skills are so profound that we didn't even notice it."
As he spoke, a few more pairs of eyes lit up in the house. A few figures appeared one after another – it was Perfected Being Cang Lang's group of five.
Not long after, the sound of clothes fluttering in the air could be heard. The speed was extremely fast.
Judging from the direction this person was heading in, there was no doubt that it was Ping Yang Town!
The five of them exchanged glances with a hint of killing intent.
Perfected Being Cang Lang came to the window and looked outside through a gap.
Not long after, a green figure arrived above the Shen residence. His sleeves fluttered as he stood in midair on a flying sword with a calm expression.
When he saw that, Perfected Being Cang Lang's lips curled into a smile unconsciously.
"The fish has taken the bait!"
Turning around, Perfected Being Cang Lang nodded to Liang Heng's group of four.
"Do we strike now?"
Gao Hu rubbed his palms with a ferocious gaze – he could not wait any longer.
"Let's wait a little longer. There's no hurry."
Perfected Being Cang Lang was extremely calm as he whispered, "Let's observe if there's any experts following behind this lad. Don't fall into his trap!"
"That's right."
Sima Zhi nodded.
"Expert? What expert? "
Liang Heng sneered, "If Perfected Jin Dan is here, it's useless no matter how many of them come. I can take him down singlehandedly! As for Genying Zhenjun … "
"Fu, which Genying Zhenjun do you guys think would be so bored as to accompany this lad all the way down the mountain just to catch a glimpse of his lover?"
Gao Hu nodded his head to express his agreement.
"There's nothing wrong with being more cautious."
Perfected Being Cang Lang added with a slight frown.
Su Zimo had already fallen into the trap and everything was going according to plan. However, for some reason, he felt uneasy and felt that something was amiss.
"Isn't everything going too smoothly?"
A moment later, Perfected Being Cang Lang suddenly asked.
"Fu!"
Liang Heng could not help but scoff and shake his head. "Cang Lang, you're truly way too paranoid. We've planned for so long and left so many backup plans. What are you worried about? "
"I don't know either."
Perfected Being Cang Lang shook his head.
In his mind, he could not help but recall how Su Zimo intentionally provoked him in Ping Yang Town eight years ago to save his life.
He recalled how Su Zimo embarrassed him in front of Mo Spirit Weapon Workshop and toyed with him in the palm of his hands without even showing up …
"This lad is extremely difficult to deal with. How did he fall for it so easily?"
Perfected Being Cang Lang was still worried.
Tan Hao asked softly with a calm expression, "What's his cultivation realm when you saw him earlier on?"
"Foundation Establishment."
The moment Perfected Being Cang Lang said that, he froze for a moment.
The other four could not help but laugh as well.
"I've been worrying too much."
Perfected Being Cang Lang smiled. "Since he's at Foundation Establishment, there's truly nothing to worry about."
"Even if we didn't prepare such methods, it's still a piece of cake for the five of us to take down a Foundation Establishment Cultivator together!" Gao Hu grinned.
…
Above the Shen family.
Su Zimo stood on his sword with a mocking look in his eyes.
Back when he attained greater mastery of the Orifice Clearing section, he had already cultivated to the realm of being able to see everything.
Now that he had formed a demon core, his hearing was even more frightening!
Let alone the whispers of Perfected Being Cang Lang and the others not far away, if Su Zimo wanted to listen, he would be able to hear everything within a thousand feet, even if it was the sound of ants crawling underground or the sound of mosquitoes flapping their wings!
Initially, Su Zimo wanted to charge over and kill Perfected Being Cang Lang and the other four.
However, his gaze shifted quickly and landed on the courtyard of the Shen family beneath his feet with a confused look in his eyes.
The Shen family was cold and only two of the four rooms in the courtyard were occupied.
The person in the South Room had an extremely fast heartbeat as though he was extremely nervous. His breathing was heavy – it was a man who had never cultivated before.
If he was not wrong, that person should be Shen Nan.
The West Room was filled with a thick aura of old age. The aura of the person living there was weak and barely discernible – he should not have much time left.
Su Zimo's nostrils flared and he caught a whiff of a strong herbal scent.
The person in the room was severely injured and beyond cure!
"How could this be?"
Su Zimo furrowed his brows slightly.
In his opinion, since the handwriting on the paper crane was real, it meant that Shen Meng Qi and Perfected Being Cang Lang were on the same side. If that was the case, everything written on the paper crane was fake and was only meant to deceive him here.
If that was the case, how could Shen Meng Qi truly be severely injured and on the verge of death?
Instantly, two possibilities flashed through Su Zimo's mind.
First, Shen Meng Qi wanted to deceive him here before she died so that she could drag him down with her.
Second, she … was merely an abandoned chess piece.
Su Zimo had a conflicted expression and sighed internally.
At that moment, he already had an answer in his heart.
