Entry copying begins with kidnapping Wang Yuyan

Bai Axiu took out the treasure map and handed it to Yin Susu. Yin Susu compared them and her expression hardened: "They're actually the same?!"

Looking at Bai Axiu, he asked, "Miss Bai, when did you obtain this picture?"

"Seven days ago, a group of people fought a bloody battle on the shore, and they all died in the end," Bai Axiu recalled briefly. "This picture was found in the hands of a dead man."

Yin Susu was in a daze. If the treasure map was fake, then what was the point of her and her brother risking their lives for?

What do the lives of dozens of elite disciples of the Sky Eagle Sect matter?

conspiracy!

There's definitely a conspiracy involved!

Yin Susu felt as if a meticulously laid net was covering the martial arts world, reaping the lives of those within it, and she and her brother were the victims of this conspiracy.

Thinking of this, Yin Susu clenched her fists.

I hate it so much!

Li Mo asked, "Miss Yin, were you able to clearly see the other party's appearance or martial arts style?"

Yin Susu recalled: "The other person was wrapped up quite tightly, with only their eyes showing..."

She suddenly looked at Li Mo, her expression shifting.

"The other person is most likely someone with short hair like you, or a monk. I noticed that the area where he's wrapped in his turban clearly has very little hair, or maybe none at all."

Youcao protested, "Young Master would never do such a thing!"

"I certainly believe that. Young Master is so special that I could recognize him even if only his eyes were visible!" Yin Susu nodded. "I'm just giving an example. As for martial arts, the black-clad man's initial techniques were quite fierce, but his later finger techniques were quite insidious."

Could it be Cheng Kun?

A thought struck Li Mo, and he said, "I think I know who it is!"

Yin Susu asked urgently, "Who is it?"

"Cheng Kun, the Hunyuan Thunderbolt Hand." Li Mo didn't hide anything and gave the answer directly. "Your Heavenly Eagle Sect split off from the Ming Cult, right?"

Yin Susu: "Indeed, everyone in the world knows about this. Could it be that this is related to our attack?"

"That's right." Li Mo nodded. "According to Yu Yan, the Ming Cult leader Yang Dingtian disappeared more than ten years ago, and the current leader of the Ming Cult is Fang La, is that correct?"

"Exactly."

Li Mo's mind raced, and he embellished what he knew before speaking: "I once heard a secret from a powerful figure in the martial arts world. He said that Cheng Kun and the wife of the Ming Cult Leader were childhood sweethearts. After she married the Ming Cult Leader, Cheng Kun harbored resentment and secretly plotted against her and the Ming Cult Leader. But he was still not satisfied and vowed to destroy the Ming Cult. His current move is most likely to provoke the Eagle King and get him involved in this grand drama. Regardless of victory or defeat, it's possible that the Ming Cult will also be dragged into it."

"As an unorthodox sect, the Ming Cult already has grudges against Buddhism and Taoism. With others stirring up trouble behind the scenes, it is easy for them to clash with the major sects in the martial arts world. Although the Ming Cult is strong, it is far from enough to contend with the various sects in the Central Plains. If it falls into a trap, its destruction is probably not far off."

As for the matter between the sect leader's wife and Cheng Kun, Li Mo simply omitted it.

If it goes into too much detail, it becomes difficult to explain the source of the information.

Yin Susu didn't believe it: "Although the man in black is strong, he is definitely no match for Master Yang. Young Master should know that Master Yang is a world-renowned grandmaster, a martial arts prodigy praised even by Master Zhang."

"No, I know." Li Mo waved his hand. "What Miss Yin said makes perfect sense, but you don't know that the Ming Cult's signature martial arts have a weakness."

Yin Susu frowned: "What shortcomings?"

"It's extremely easy to go astray in cultivation. If Yin Susu were familiar with the development of the Ming Cult, she would know that many of its leaders went astray in their cultivation. Think back carefully, is that true?"

Yin Susu was taken aback, then nodded gently.

It matches up!

This actually matches up!

If what Young Master Li said is true, then this matter is extremely serious!

"Young Master Li, what should we do about this?"

"It's best not to make a fuss about it," Li Mo pondered. "Cheng Kun is now backed by Shaolin. Any action against him will be interpreted as an attack on Shaolin. In that case, we'll fall into his trap."

"Are you just going to let it go like that?" Yin Susu, who was always vengeful, asked with great resentment.

Li Mo shook his head: "Of course not. The Ming Cult can act secretly, set a trap, lure Cheng Kun into it, and then kill him. It would be best to pin the Yan Nantian Treasure Map on him. In this way, Shaolin would probably want to clear their name completely and would definitely not want to be associated with Cheng Kun. After all, they can't let the martial arts world of Jiangnan suspect that they are the ones instigating the fighting between the major forces behind the scenes."

"Brilliant plan!" Yin Susu exclaimed. "If this plan succeeds, Shaolin will have no choice but to suffer in silence."

Li Mo waved his hand: "There's still a flaw in this plan."

Yin Susu pondered, "What is it?"

"The Eagle Cult and the Ming Cult need to investigate Cheng Kun's true strength and the number of his henchmen. Otherwise, they might end up tearing the net instead of catching the fish, making it difficult to scheme against Cheng Kun. What's worse, they might end up using Cheng Kun to wipe out the entire Ming Cult, which would be laughable."

Yin Susu was delighted to hear this, but upon hearing it, it was as if a bucket of cold water had been poured over her head, leaving her feeling utterly chilled.

It seems that revenge in the short term is out of the question!

This plan cannot be completed in a short time; investigation and manpower mobilization will take time.

"By the way, Miss Yin, you can handle this matter yourself, but don't expose me."

Yin Susu cupped her hands in greeting: "Young Master Li, rest assured, I am not an ungrateful person. I will have a mysterious senior speak out about this matter."

"That's good then." Li Mo looked Yin Susu up and down. "You should meditate for a while. Once we're ashore, we'll part ways."

Yin Susu was taken aback, but said aloud, "Yes. I will repay your life-saving grace when I have time. May I ask what you like?"

Li Mo: "A little gold and silver jewelry will do. Of course, if the heroine wants to give me some divine skills or weapons, I won't refuse."

Upon hearing this, not only Yin Susu laughed, but Bai Axiu also laughed along.

After walking for a while, Youcao suddenly stopped: "Young master, we have arrived. Go ashore here, and it will be another quarter of an hour to reach our destination."

Ahead was a small dock, not a bustling commercial area, with only two small boats moored there.

"Let's disembark here then," Li Mo instructed. "Once we get there, Youcao, you can stay there for now. We'll come back to pick you up when we have time."

Youcao replied reluctantly, "Yes, young master."

After mooring the boat, Yin Susu cupped her hands in greeting and was about to disembark when she felt her hand being pulled back.

Looking back, she saw Li Mo holding her hand, and her cheeks flushed.

Could it be that he can't bear to part with me?

Although her brother's fate was unknown, a touch of romance still arose in her heart.

"Young master..."

Li Mo did not answer, his gaze falling on the water plants on one side of the dock, where several entries for "[Venomous Snake. Highly Venomous]" appeared.

He took the boat pole from Youcao's hand and stirred it among the water plants. The next moment, small, bluish-green snakes darted out of the grass.

Yin Susu was startled: "Is this an ambush? Is it aimed at me?"

"I don't know!" Li Mo swung his boat pole down, striking the small snake directly at its vital spot, turning it into minced meat.

As they were retracting the boat pole, they noticed a small snake stuck to it. Upon closer inspection, they discovered that the snake's body contained a sharp blade. When the pole struck down, the blade embedded itself perfectly.

This was naturally the work of the Jade Serpent God.

Not far away, a string of entries appeared: [Azure Serpent God. Twelve Constellations] [Corpse and Common People].

"There's no more fun!" Li Mo's gaze sharpened.

The twelve zodiac signs are by no means benevolent; rather, they are synonymous with cruelty.

Even if he didn't save Yin Susu, but just walked past the place where they ambushed him, he would most likely suffer the same fate as those innocent civilians.

This truly shows that "wherever there are people, there is a world of intrigue," and even if he wanted to avoid it, he couldn't!

Should we continue down the same road?

How did he know there weren't ambushes at the other docks?

"Fine, since we've run into each other, let's just finish this off!" Li Mo's temperament changed instantly, his mind merged with the heavens and earth, and his fighting spirit soared. His Yin and Yang powers rapidly absorbed the essence of heaven and earth, instantly raising his combat strength to its peak!

war!
