Jin Lu already had a plan as to how he was going to act. However, he had to act according to the actual situation.
After all, they were not going out alone. They had brought a large number of soldiers with them.
If Su Mo was alone, it would be easier to deal with him. However, Su Mo was traveling with a large number of soldiers.
"Other than Huo Yi and Su Mo, who else is going to the Dark Mountain Iron Mine?" Jin Lu asked the soldier who had gone to inquire about the matter.
"There is also General Zhu Tong!" The soldier replied respectfully.
"It is actually him!" Jin Lu was shocked when he heard it. Immediately after, his eyes lit up and he found it interesting.
Zhu Tong also hated Su Mo!
Jin Lu's face darkened. If Zhu Tong also attacked Su Mo, he would not have to worry. With Zhu Tong's strength, Su Mo would definitely die.
This was highly possible. After all, Su Mo was a godly genius and the Third Prince would not want him to continue growing.
However, Jin Lu was not sure if Zhu Tong would attack him.
If Zhu Tong did not attack Su Mo and he did not attack Su Mo, wouldn't this golden opportunity be wasted?
Jin Lu frowned. He still had to attack Su Mo. However, he had to do it after he had completed his mission.
Fortunately, Qiu Ta Town was not far from the Dark Mountain Iron Mine and it was closer to the Black Mountain Fort.
As such, he would definitely complete his mission earlier. When the time came, he would be able to escape and kill Su Mo.
Just as Jin Lu was deep in thought, the group of soldiers heading to Qiu Ta Town had already gathered at the city gate. The other two generals had invited him to head out together.
With that, the city gate opened and Jin Lu led his men out of the Black Mountain Fort and headed straight for Qiu Ta Town.
Su Mo and Huo Yi did not have to wait for long. About 15 minutes later, Zhu Tong led his men over.
Zhu Tong's men were all elites of the Black Cloud Army. There were about 2,000 of them and there were about 20 Martial Honoured Realm Elites.
Zhu Ming, who was also a disciple of the Zhu Family, was also in Zhu Tong's army.
"General Huo, Leader Su, let's go!" Zhu Tong came to Huo Yi and Su Mo and said in a deep voice. His expression did not change.
"Let's go!" Huo Yi waved his hand and led his men out of the Black Mountain Fort.
Zhu Tong followed closely behind Zhu Tong. Su Mo did not waste any time and immediately ordered his men to follow behind Zhu Tong.
The three parties left the Black Mountain Fort and soared into the sky, heading straight for the Dark Mountain Iron Mine.
Su Mo and Zhu Tong did not know the location of the Dark Mountain Iron Mine. However, Huo Yi was the commander of the army and naturally knew where it was.
As such, Huo Yi led his troops in front while Zhu Tong and Su Mo followed behind.
Su Mo was extremely cautious and purposely distanced himself from Zhu Tong in case Zhu Tong suddenly attacked him.
He did not dare to underestimate Zhu Tong. Although the two of them had fought at the banquet and Zhu Tong was no match for him, Zhu Tong was a Rank 8 Martial Honorable after all. Without suppressing his cultivation rank, Zhu Tong's combat strength was terrifying.
…
In the depths of the Black Mountain, in the deep valley where the Blood Pupil Clan's army was stationed.
In the cave, Elder Xue Cheng, Honored Wu Han and Wu Fengtian were seated cross-legged. The three of them were waiting for news.
The three of them closed their eyes tightly, waiting for news while meditating and cultivating.
Buzz ~ ~
Just then, the Communication Jade Charm in Elder Xue Cheng's hand began to vibrate.
Shoosh!
In an instant, Elder Xue Cheng, Wu Han and Wu Fengtian's eyes flew open.
A sharp glint flashed across their eyes. Had the news finally arrived?
Elder Xue Cheng immediately gave a mental thought and the message in the Communication Jade Charm instantly appeared.
"Haha, everything is under control!"
Elder Xue Cheng laughed out loud before he stood up and said, "Su Mo has already left the Black Mountain Fort and he should be heading towards the Dark Mountain Iron Mine. We should also set off!"
When Wu Han and Wu Fengtian heard this, they looked at each other and smiled faintly.
It seemed that they would be able to complete this mission today and return to the Sorcerer Tribe.
"Elder Xue Cheng, how many people are with Su Mo?" Wu Han hurriedly asked. He did not think that Su Mo had left alone.
"According to the scouts, there are around 3000 people and there are around 30 Martial Honorables among them!" Elder Xue Cheng replied.
"What is the cultivation rank of the strongest person?" Wu Fengtian asked. This was the key point. He wasn't afraid that Su Mo had a lot of Martial Honorables but he was afraid that there would be strong experts.
After all, even if there were a hundred low rank Martial Honorables, they would not be as strong as a high rank Martial Honorable.
"There is a high rank Martial Honorable but the scouts did not dare to go near him. They are too far away and we are unable to see his cultivation rank!" Elder Xue Cheng's face darkened as he replied.
"Then let's assume that he is a Rank 9 Martial Honorable! We can only overestimate our opponent and not underestimate him! "Honored Wu Han said.
Xue Cheng and Wu Fengtian nodded their heads. Since they did not know the exact cultivation rank of the other party, they could only try to overestimate their opponent's strength.
"Elder Xue Cheng, how many people are we bringing?" Wu Fengtian asked.
"No one else, just the three of us!" Elder Xue Cheng replied.
"This … isn't this a little inappropriate?" Wu Fengtian frowned. Although the three of them were strong, Su Mo had 3000 people on his side and it would be easy for Su Mo to escape.
"We don't have a choice. There are scouts from the Imperial Ancestor Court Faction all over the place. Once we make a ruckus, we will be easily discovered. Once we are discovered, all our efforts will be wasted. Zhu Long and the Second Princess are not to be trifled with!"
Elder Xue Cheng shook his head and continued, "With our strength, the possibility of us being discovered is very low!"
"That is enough. With our strength, we can kill Su Mo in the midst of the chaos!" Wu Han said in a deep voice. He and Xue Cheng were both Rank 9 Martial Honorables. Although Wu Fengtian's cultivation rank was at the peak of the Rank 7 Martial Honorable Realm, his fighting strength was strong and far surpassed that of a Rank 8 Martial Honorable.
With the strength of the three of them, killing Su Mo wouldn't be a problem even if Su Mo had 3000 people on his side.
"Mm, I will send a message to the soldiers that are occupying the 17 locations to prepare to retreat." Elder Xue Cheng said.
Since the Black Mountain Fort had already sent out their troops, the Blood Pupil Clansmen that were occupying the 17 locations of the Imperial Ancestor Court Faction could not stay there and die.
However, they had to grasp the timing and they couldn't retreat too early. Otherwise, if the Black Mountain Fort received news of their retreat, Su Mo and the others might return.
With that, Elder Xue Cheng immediately sent out a message and made detailed arrangements.
"Let's go, let's go!"
Once Elder Xue Cheng had sent out the message, Wu Fengtian impatiently said.
