Heaven Slaying Blade

Chu Mo's eyes were slightly squinting and he looked at Wang Dafa, smiled, and stood up, "Old pal, I think we should skip the drinks. You have given me a bronze tripod as a gift, as the younger of us two, I should also show my gratitude."

Chu Mo said and took a small porcelain bottle out of his pocket. "My observation is that there's nothing seriously wrong with you, but you seem to be overworked and often suffer from headaches. During a headache attack, it appears to be unbearably severe and it seems that you can only feel slight relief by pouring cold water over your head."

Wang Dafa's eyes flashed with a touch of coldness, his smiling demeanor disappeared, and he looked closely at Chu Mo, "Have you been investigating me?"

Chu Mo denied it with a wave and a smile, "Old chap, we have no grudges or grievances. There's no reason for me to investigate you. Relax. Even though we have talked a lot, there is one thing you haven't said yet."

Chu Mo smiled, "Haha...old brother, were you able to infer Miao Yi Niang's identity based on the information from a bronze tripod, haven't you guessed who I am? Your eagerness to disconnect with me is perhaps because of this, right?"

Wang Dafa looked at Chu Mo, his eyes gradually filled with admiration. He sighed bitterly, "I didn't expect that a fourteen or fifteen-year-old boy could disguise himself as a young man in his twenties so flawlessly. Yes, I deduced it! But if you hadn't admitted it, I wouldn't have asked further. There are some things I really don't want to get involved in. Even though I'm an elder of the Azure Dragon Hall, I am also a businessman."

"Since you know who I am, you must know how powerful my elixirs are, right?" Chu Mo breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. His relationship with Miao Yi Niang was not a widely known fact, but he was still unable to escape the scrutiny of those who were determined to find out.

This showed the importance of intelligence. The Azure Dragon Hall, a colossal presence that dominated the continent, wielded unparalleled power in the realm of intelligence!

Compared to it, the organization that Chu Mo and Xu Fufu built seemed too small.

But Chu Mo didn't rush, he had patience!

One day, he would be able to build his own power.

The reason why Chu Mo admitted his identity to Wang Dafa so freely was because he had other plans in mind!

Because Chu Mo found that this elder of the Azure Dragon Hall could be a potential collaborator!

Wang Dafa nodded, looking at Chu Mo, "Your skills in alchemy have already made a name for themselves. No one has come to you for medicine yet because some things are still uncertain. But soon, I expect someone will come knocking on your door asking for your elixir."

"That depends on my master's inclination and their sincerity." Chu Mo commented nonchalantly.

There was a faint flicker in Wang Dafa's eyes, and a chill in his heart. The person who could train such a disciple in just over half a year couldn't be underestimated. This is exactly why he wanted to distance himself from Chu Mo.

As the golden elder of the Azure Dragon Hall, Wang Dafa has access to a wealth of information.

He had heard about the Vermilion Bird Association's investigations into the twelve disciples who had fled the Piaomiao Palace here in Yanhuang City.

He also knew that the Vermilion Bird Association had been focusing on Miao Yi Niang for a while now.

But he hadn't expected the bronze tripod to be bait set by the Vermilion Bird Association. After returning home and learning the truth, Wang Dafa was upset.

Because he had unwittingly gotten involved!

Being a recognizable figure, Wang Dafa was not likely to be targeted by the Vermilion Bird Association, but that didn't stop him from feeling uneasy.

Finally, someone calls me Mister! I finally find someone agreeable! And you, Vermilion Bird Association, want to make trouble for him?

Therefore, Wang Dafa immediately started investigating the matter. The more he found out, the more frightened and uneasy he became!

Because he suddenly realized that the young man who was always with Miao Yi Niang, all the evidence he could gather pointed to one person!

Chu Mo, who recently attained great fame in Yanhuang City!

This young man had caused a major disaster half a year ago, had offended Prince Xia Jing and was hunted down rampantly. He fled from Yanhuang City in disgrace and disappeared from sight. Half a year later, he reappeared, bringing his majestic return, first boldly smashing to Prince Xia Jing's Mansion, and then, instead of getting into trouble, he became a respected guest in Prince Xia Jing's Mansion.

Then the news of Prince Xia Jing buying up a large number of medicinal materials was received…

When combined, the conclusion one can draw is startling. The young man named Chu Mo, has gained abilities beyond general comprehension within half a year!

In Wang Dafa's view, there is only one type of person who could give Chu Mo such abilities - a hermit!

Yes, not a sect, but a hermit!

A sect could not possibly produce such a disciple. Even if Chu Mo was exceptionally gifted, it is impossible that he returned from a sect after only half a year. The more gifted he was, the more the sect would want to keep him and train him. The most important thing they cultivate… is loyalty to the sect!

How high could his loyalty be to the sect when he is let go only after half a year?

Moreover, in top sects, there is no shortage of geniuses. Even if Chu Mo was extraordinarily gifted, it was impossible for him to monopolize all the resources as soon as he entered the sect. If he had done that, he would not have survived a month!

So, only a hermit can cultivate such a disciple and let them go to gain experience in such a short period of time.

A hermit is a person of great power who does not belong to any sect!

Although there are not many of these people in the Four Symbols Continent, there are at least ten whom Wang Dafa knows of!

Every hermit is a force that is not to be trifled with.

The primary reason is their near invincible power, every hermit has terrifying strength beyond the human imagination; the secondary reason is that almost all hermits, are loners, with no strings attached.

Such people... are the most terrifying!

Because they are not only incredibly powerful, but they also don't care about anything!

If you provoke a hermit, it is no different from seeking death.

Therefore, when Wang Dafa concluded that the young man at the auction was probably Chu Mo in disguise, he was immediately alarmed.

Although he was a golden elder of the Azure Dragon Hall and held high authority, and even in his own sect, he held the position of an external elder, he knew very well -

You don't mess with a hermit!

And naturally, you don't mess with a hermit's disciple either!

Now it's clear that the people from the Vermilion Bird Association want to capture Miao Yi Niang. Chu Mo, being Miao Yi Niang's best friend in Yanhuang City, certainly wouldn't ignore it.

Then, a fierce conflict would very likely occur between both sides!

In Wang Dafa's view, this is bound to happen sooner or later.

The Vermilion Bird Association probably wouldn't have known that the young man was Chu Mo. Wang Dafa wasn't underestimating them, but in Yanhuang City, even the royal family…might not have better information than him, Wang Dafa!

So, it wasn't so much that Wang Dafa didn't want to get involved in this vortex, but more that he was afraid of provoking a hermit!

Right now, this little one was leaving him no way out. He ignored reasoning and put everything, that should be said and unsaid, out on the table.

Why are you telling outsiders like me so much?

Now, Wang Dafa was caught in a dilemma. (To be continued. If you like this book, welcome to Qidian (qidian.com) to recommend or like the book or support by voting. Your support is my biggest motivation. Mobile users please read at m.qidian.com.)
