Chapter 180: Chapter 128 Return Journey_2

Su Mo and Yang Xiaoyun exchanged a glance, both struggling to hold back their laughter.

It seems that even the person behind the scenes couldn’t have expected Nangong Yu to react to the Golden Jade Cone in such a manner.

At this moment, Liu Mo instead asked, “Does the Sect Leader have any leads for the investigation?”

“Hm?”

Nangong Yu looked at Liu Mo, appearing rather perplexed, “Chief Liu seems quite concerned about this matter?”

After a moment of thought, Liu Mo sighed and relayed the same concerns he had shared with Su Mo and the others.

In the end, he said, “I don’t care about the Golden Jade Cone, but I must find Tong Yun. Whatever it takes, this matter must be resolved. Please, Nangong Sect Leader, grant me this.”

“So it is.”

Nangong Yu stroked his beard and finally nodded, “Your reasoning is valid, and although your father’s logic was flawed, the matter falling upon you certainly can’t just be ignored in confusion. Searching for the younger uncle is only logical.

“Here’s what we’ll do – Feng Baichuan and the others are going to Yuejiang Pavilion tomorrow to investigate clues and see if they can track down the younger uncle based on the map. You could join them.

“Inside, there are records of observations collected by predecessors of the Heavenly Blade Sect throughout Jianghu, including the seventh-generation ancestor’s observations concerning the Golden Jade Cone.

“If the younger uncle is indeed linked to the Golden Jade Cone, then uncovering the origin of the Golden Jade Cone might reveal some clues.

“However, after so many years of peace, I’m afraid this letter won’t be easy to find.”

“Many thanks to Nangong Sect Leader for your help.”

Liu Mo was overjoyed and immediately bowed deeply.

“No need, no need.”

Nangong Yu waved his hand, then turned to Su Mo, “Su, the Chief of the Escort, has shown exceptional generosity. This visit was initially to request the assistance of the Heavenly Blade Sect, but instead, Su has become a witness to this farce and even saved my life.”

As he spoke, he took a black iron token from beneath his pillow.

On the front of the token was an engraving of a sharp single-bladed saber, and the back was inscribed with the words ’Heavenly Blade.’

“This is the heavenly blade Token.”

Nangong Yu handed the token to Su Mo, “Within the domain of the Heavenly Blade Sect, with this token, Lord Su can freely come and go among the various mountains and strongholds. If it fails to serve its purpose, this old man will personally speak on your behalf.”

“This…”

Su Mo hesitated for a moment but accepted it, “Thank you, Nangong Sect Leader.”

“The token is merely a small gesture compared to your life-saving grace, which is truly insignificant in comparison,” Nangong Yu said with a smile, “Lord Su is young yet possesses supreme martial arts, truly admirable. If you don’t mind our members’ cold demeanors, please do visit the Heavenly Blade Sect whenever you’re nearby. They are not good at speaking or expressing themselves, especially towards you – they both respect and admire you.

“Especially that young Feng Baichuan, he heard you were going to be invited this time and, putting aside his status as an elder disciple, insisted on seeing you, ha ha ha!”

Su Mo was at a loss for words; where did that come from?

He hadn’t noticed any sign of it at all.

The conversation between the two parties came to a natural conclusion at this point.

As Nangong Yu had sustained serious injuries, he immediately lay back down to rest.

And since the man himself didn’t care about the Golden Jade Cone, naturally, Su Mo cared even less.

In the end, it was just like watching a play for him.

However, remembering Ji Feiyang, Su Mo reminded Liu Mo to be clear about the situation during this period.

Liu Mo immediately nodded in agreement, promising to mediate and prevent Ji Feiyang from acting rashly and ensuring that the Heavenly Blade Sect didn’t naively kill him.

Su Mo and company had set out in the morning, but by now it was completely dark.

Feng Baichuan, appearing from nowhere, led Su Mo and the others to dinner and arranged guest rooms for them.

Su Mo took a careful look but did not find any hint of Feng Baichuan being the slightest bit of a ’little fanboy’; he was as aloof as ever!

Su Mo eventually gave up.

The night passed without incident, and by morning, it was dawn.

Su Mo and Yang Xiaoyun first went to bid farewell to Nangong Yu, and then on Heavenly Gate Mountain, in front of the Heavenly Blade Sect, they bade farewell to everyone with a bow.

A typical farewell involves joined fists and well-wishing.

The expression and the gaze must fit the part.

However, the members of the Heavenly Blade Sect, with joined fists, bid Su Mo farewell with an intense aura, “The road ahead in Jianghu is long, take care on your journey, Lord Su!!”

It always felt as though they were ready to ambush him anytime along the road.

Fortunately, Su Mo was somewhat accustomed to this, and with Nangong Yu’s words from the day before, he took no offense, cheerfully bidding farewell with Yang Xiaoyun with a few polite words before turning to descend the mountain.

As for Liu Mo… although he wasn’t able to bring him back, he left with two letters tucked away.

This meant the matter was settled.

It was time to lead the team back to Luoxia City after this trip to the Five Directions Gathering.

Yet, as they walked on the road, Yang Xiaoyun remained puzzled,

“What role exactly did Tong Yun play in this affair?”

Su Mo replied with a shake of his head,

“It’s hard to tell. Tong Yun is a renowned expert; it wouldn’t make sense for him to betray the Heavenly Blade Sect and leak their martial arts. Looking at the entire sect, aside from him, it’s hard to consider another candidate.

“Another critical facet likely falls on Ji Feiyang, which is why I advised Liu Mo to intercede. The Heavenly Blade Sect’s members are cold, and good intentions could be easily misunderstood, not to mention Ji Feiyang believes there’s a deep hatred between them.”
