NOVGO.NET Chapter 1153 451: Just Kidding_3
Su Mo directly broke his illusion.
“…”
Lie Huo turned speechless: “We both are like grasshoppers tied to the same rope, why bother?”
“Hmm?”
Su Mo looked at Lie Huo Daoist somewhat puzzled:
“Taoist, did you misunderstand something?”
“… Misunderstand what?”
“I’ve never been afraid of the Seven Killings Hall.
“If they come looking for me, I welcome them, I kill one as they come. If I get the message, I’ll go straight for their head and take it.”
Su Mo said with a smile: “All along, the ones afraid of the Seven Killings Hall have been you. The grasshopper on this rope, is you, alone.”
“I…”
Lie Huo Taoist’s curse was brewing, fermenting, but he couldn’t manage to say a single word.
Unable to refrain from glaring at Su Mo, feeling that this person is truly insufferable.
Speaking words completely inhuman.
Yet…although they weren’t human words, they were indeed true.
Thinking of this, Lie Huo was even more saddened, yet even more bewildered, as he looked at the poison in his hand:
“If that’s the case, then why give me poison to take?”
“Isn’t it to make the senior’s conviction steadfast?”
Su Mo laughed: “Although my acquaintance with senior is brief, I can see it clearly, senior has always followed the path of self-preservation.
“Tonight’s words, quite possibly in a moment of anger.
“Once night passes, if Taoist is overcome with fear and cowardice, it’s uncertain if you’ll flee.
“However…I am not advising you to give up halfway.
“Some things, without paying a price, how can you be moved?
“Thus, this elixir is to ensure you forge ahead without looking back.
“It’s either the downfall of the Seven Killings Hall or your death, Lie Huo Taoist.
“Currently you need to seek life through death, do you understand this principle?
“Or has your passion already faded, and is planning to surrender and await death?”
“You… You’re underestimating me!”
Lie Huo Taoist, with a resolute bite and stomp, stuffed the elixir into his mouth and gulped it down.
Only then did he ask Su Mo:
“This elixir’s antidote will be given to me after I’ve followed your strategy and destroyed the Seven Killings Hall?”
Su Mo resolutely shook his head.
Lie Huo Taoist was taken aback: “What do you mean?”
Su Mo smiled and remained silent.
Lie Huo Taoist’s flushed face turned pale in an instant:
“There isn’t an antidote?”
“Correct.”
Su Mo smiled even brighter.
“You demon!!!”
Lie Huo Taoist was furious: “You… you’d use such despicable tactics against my life?”
“No problem, no problem.”
Su Mo waved his hand lightly.
“How is there no problem?”
Lie Huo Taoist could hardly believe his ears.
This person let me consume a poison without an antidote, then tells me no problem?
You certainly have no problem, but I do!!
At this moment, Lie Huo Taoist was about to burst into tears but couldn’t, wanting to fight Su Mo, yet knowing he truly couldn’t win.
The whole person was completely numb at that moment.
Su Mo then said with a laugh:
“Alright, alright, no more jokes with senior.
“This elixir will take effect in six months.
“By that time, regardless of whether you succeed or not, you must find me, or otherwise, you will die a painful death.”
By the end, his words were harsh and severe.
Lie Huo Taoist naturally felt a jolt and solemnly nodded.
Intending to ask if Su Mo was lying.
But worried Su Mo would readily say ‘Yes, I’m deceiving you, there truly is no antidote.’
Then he truly wouldn’t have even a glimmer of hope.
At present, Lie Huo Taoist felt his brain had been churned into a mess.
Was what he consumed truly a poison?
Was there an antidote at all?
Was Su Mo speaking truthfully or falsely?
Completely indistinguishable.
This person is young, maneuvering like the devil, doing things like a demon.
Yet established a notable reputation on Longmu Island…
Reputation!
Bah!
He’s simply a demon!
However, at this moment, these words can only be cursed in his heart and satisfy some petty revenge, while outwardly showing a flattering expression:
“Well then…may I ask, Hero Su, what should I do?”
“Simple.”
Su Mo said with a smile:
“Though Seven Killings Hall is formidable, they have rivals upon Nanhai.
“But these rivals…may not easily act.
“Thus, you need only do two things, and the Seven Killings Hall will be unable to manage.”
“Please instruct me, Hero Su!”
Seeing Su Mo speaking confidently, Lie Huo Taoist couldn’t help but feel hopeful.
Su Mo then extended his fingers:
“First thing, you sell a piece of information to Tianji Pavilion.”
“Tianji Pavilion…”
Lie Huo Taoist was startled: “Does Tianji Pavilion still purchase information?”
“Of course they do.”
“Then… what information should I sell?”
“What do you think?”
Su Mo said with a smile: “Where is Lord Zimu of Seven Killings Hall now? Who in the world knows?”
“That’s it!”
Lie Huo Taoist suddenly understood, but couldn’t help but ask:
“Would Seven Killings Hall’s enemy buy information from Tianji Pavilion?”
“Difficult to say.”
Su Mo said with a smile: “But why not give it a try?”
“Makes sense.”
Lie Huo Taoist nodded immediately: “And the second thing?”
“Go to Shuanglong City, find a good spot, and wait to watch a show.”
“…When will this show start?”
“I don’t know either.”
Su Mo said with a smile: “But, it’s bound to be staged eventually. And, what you have to do is…”
He said here, suddenly whistling.
Suddenly heard an eagle’s cry in the sky, followed by a huge Messenger Eagle circling above Su Mo’s head.
Su Mo said to Lie Huo Taoist: “It will follow you, and once the show begins, do not intervene, simply watch quietly. After the show, I need to know who… are the actors.”
Lie Huo Taoist heard this.
Felt he understood but not quite completely.
But overall, what he was tasked with was indeed simple.
Immediately nodded and asked: “Then, when do I depart?”
“Leave now.”
“Goodbye.”
“Please.”
