80: Section 80

Under the enhancement of potent Internal Skill, the pebbles became as hard as steel, instantly piercing the throats of the accompanying individuals, while the one-armed old man flicked his sleeve, catching the pebbles in his hand.

“What a vicious hidden weapon technique.”

“Why don’t you try my Corrosive Bone and Rotting Gut Sand!”

The one-armed old man crushed the pebbles you had used, injected poison into them, and they instantly transformed into a poisonous mist that enveloped you.

You used your lightness skill to evade quickly, but Red Horse couldn't escape, and the Corrosive Bone and Rotting Gut Sand all struck it.

Almost instantly, Red Horse's intestines ruptured, its belly rotted, and its bones shattered, muscles turning to paste.

The formerly red horse also turned into a black horse.

Seeing this scene, you were horrified; this fellow's poison skill was truly formidable.

The one-armed old man didn't pursue you after seeing you evade.

“Little girl, I don't think I've offended you in any way, have I? Could it be that you also want my millennium poisonous toad?”

“Ku Rong Old Man, you're exactly who I'm looking for!”

You drew the frost sword, performing the Wuxia Sword technique, and with a slight flick, a chilling Qi shot towards Ku Rong Old Man.

“Wuxia Sword!”

“You're from the Su Family!”

Ku Rong Old Man recognized your sword technique; his initial thought of settling the matter peacefully, upon seeing your exceptional martial arts, instantly vanished.

“Heaven must pity me; I didn't expect there to be a survivor from the Su Family!”

“I'm going to refine you into a Blood Puppet!”

After speaking, Ku Rong Old Man's entire body swelled like a drum, his formerly thick clothes puffed up, and you also saw the skin of Ku Rong Old Man below his neck.

The skin was completely ulcerated, with even maggots wriggling on it.

“Bang!”

Like a cannon blast, a mass of black-purple poisonous mist, full of hatred, surged towards you.

You were astonished to find that this poisonous mist seemed to lock onto you, sealing off all space above, below, left, and right in front of you.

At this moment, it seemed you only had one path left: to retreat.

Seeing this, you immediately brandished the frost sword.

You used the Wuxia Sword technique to unleash the massive cold Qi within the frost sword.

With every swing of the sword, there was a bone-chilling frost.

After dozens of swings, you actually managed to freeze the poisonous mist solid in mid-air, causing it to fall.

Cold sweat broke out on Ku Rong Old Man's forehead; he hadn't expected your sword to be so sinister, actually breaking his strongest killing move, the Heavenly Fragrance of the Chicken feather.

Seeing this, you immediately understood that Ku Rong Old Man had no more tricks up his sleeve.

You came to Red Horse's corpse, kicked the bundle with your delicate foot, and the Chasing Wind Sword and Cold Autumn Sword transformed into cold light, shooting towards Ku Rong Old Man!

The frost sword in your hand continued to swing, constantly unleashing cold Qi.

This cold Qi was truly Ku Rong Old Man's greatest bane; he couldn't use his poison skill at all and could only be slaughtered by you.

In the blink of an eye, one of Ku Rong Old Man's arms was severed by the precious sword you kicked out, with no power to resist whatsoever!

Seeing how smoothly things were going, you felt a slight ease in your heart.

You swung the frost sword Qi, freezing Ku Rong Old Man's body and legs, only then feeling relieved.

You sheathed the frost sword, but you weren't feeling well either at this moment.

Because using the frost sword meant enduring the ten-thousand-year cold Qi within the sword body, it was a case of harming the enemy a thousand while hurting oneself eight hundred.

However, with Empress Goddess Skill protecting your body, you were able to endure it.

Ku Rong Old Man looked at you, his eyes filled with fear.

He didn't know why Heaven had sent such a bane to him.

His most proud poison skill was broken in such a way; he didn't know whether to cry or laugh.

Ku Rong Old Man shook his head.

“My skill is inferior.”

“Kill or flay, as you wish!”

Seeing this, you immediately asked the question you most wanted to ask.

“Back then, who massacred the Su Family?”

Hearing your question, Ku Rong Old Man burst into laughter.

“So you don't know.”

“How fun, how fun!”

“Since you don't know, then never know.”

“And let you taste the feeling of wanting revenge but not being able to find your enemy!”

After speaking, Ku Rong Old Man tilted his head and died!

Seeing Ku Rong Old Man trying to disgust you even in death, you felt quite helpless.

Then, following the Jianghu experience Second Uncle Ning taught you, you cut off Ku Rong Old Man's head before leaving.

You didn't touch anything Ku Rong Old Man left behind, because you didn't know if he had left poison on them, and to be safe, not touching anything was the safest option.

Just as you finished packing your luggage and were about to leave, Ling Fei arrived here on horseback with three maidservants.

She ignored the corpses on the scene, as if she had long been accustomed to them.

“Xiao Xiyue, if you don't mind, let's ride together.”

Facing Ling Fei's invitation, what do you choose?

Option 1: Accept Ling Fei's invitation and ride with her.

Option 2: Decline Ling Fei's invitation and leave alone.

Option 3: Accept Ling Fei's invitation and ride with Su Jin.

...

Looking at the three options before him, Su Mo fell into deep thought.

He didn't want to refuse the invitation of this female 'la la'.

Because this female 'la la' seemed very capable, and being with her might lead to a lot of information that ordinary people couldn't obtain.

Given that the Generals Residence was about to be annihilated, Su Mo thought that the more information he knew, the better.

This would also allow for better preparation.

Ideally, he would find a way to break the situation.

Two months was not a long time, but it wasn't short either.

Su Mo decided to work hard to protect the people he cared about.

In this feudal, closed ancient society, information was paramount!

...

You chose the first option.

You considered Ling Fei's invitation, and after some thought, nodded.

“Thank you!”

Then you got on Ling Fei's horse.

But for some reason, after getting on, you felt a bit drowsy and ended up falling asleep while embracing Ling Fei's waist.

Su Mo's screen, on the other hand, went black, indicating that his simulated self had fallen unconscious!

Chapter 86: Blood Clothes Tower Master, Fei Lingxue

Seeing the screen go black, Su Mo felt a little worried.

Damn, is this simulation going to end like this?

If it ended, he would probably have to use that opportunity to specify the display of romantic interests.

Only then could he obtain more information.

Just as Su Mo was worrying, the screen lit up, and the surrounding scenery changed to the interior of a palace.

At this moment, the screen showed a first-person perspective, and all Su Mo could see were the bed curtains.

This made his heart skip a beat; he hoped he wouldn't be taken advantage of by this woman.

...

You only felt as if you had slept a very long sleep.

When you woke up, the surrounding scenery was no longer outside Liu Prefecture City, but a luxurious palace.

You lay on a soft couch in this palace, your frost sword, Cold Autumn Sword, Chasing Wind Sword, and the Black Iron Token placed to one side, with no one else around, only an incense burner slowly emitting sandalwood fragrance.

You struggled to get up, feeling incredibly sore, as if you had just gone through an intense battle, your muscles aching, and your bones feeling dislocated.

Just then, Su Jin and two other maidservants walked in from outside the palace.

Seeing you awake, Su Jin quickly stepped forward to your side.

“Xiao Xiyue, are you awake?”

You looked at Su Jin with some hesitation.

“Where am I?”

Su Jin chuckled.

“Xiao Xiyue, you were poisoned by Ku Rong Old Man's Gu and fainted halfway, so my Young Miss brought you back to her home.”

“Your Young Miss?”

You feigned ignorance of Ling Fei's gender.

Seeing your confusion, Su Jin explained with a smile.

“Naturally, it's Ling Fei.”

“However, Ling Fei is just a pseudonym for my Young Miss; her real name is Fei Lingxue.”

“She is the current Master of the number one hidden organization in the world, the Blood Clothes Tower!”

“Blood Clothes Tower?”

This was the first time you had heard of the Blood Clothes Tower organization, and you knew nothing about it.

“What does the Blood Clothes Tower do?”

Su Jin continued to explain.

“Xiao Xiyue, the Blood Clothes Tower's development has no clear direction; it simply does what other Schools in Jianghu do.”

“However, it has not been well-known in Jianghu for the past hundred years, so it's normal that you haven't heard of it.”

“So that's how it is.”

You felt a slight fear towards such a massive organization; the financial resources displayed by Ling Fei, no, it should be Fei Lingxue, were beyond even those top noble families in Jianghu.

Initially, you had guessed that Fei Lingxue was someone from the imperial palace, but then an unknown Blood Clothes Tower emerged.

Seeing you lost in thought, Su Jin spoke:

“Xiao Xiyue, although you've taken our unique detoxifying Spirit Medicine, the Nine Dragons Powder, the residual poison in your body will still take some time to clear completely.”

“Our Master has some matters to attend to, so she cannot personally come to see you.”

“She asked me to tell you, Xiao Xiyue, to rest and recuperate here during this time.”

Although you didn't understand when Ku Rong Old Man had poisoned you, you understood it when you considered that he was, after all, a grandmaster of poison.
