Chapter 1269: The Mastermind Behind The Scenes
Translator: Lordbluefire
Sun Mo didn’t allow Xuanyuan Po to be imprisoned, but he also understood that the trouble this time around was too great. Hence, Xuanyuan Po took the initiative to stay in the house and didn’t go anywhere.
At dawn, the combat addict heard a noise. It was the sound of a stone being thrown at a window. A moment later, someone spoke softly.
“Xuanyuan, we are here to save you!”
Xuanyuan Po frowned and grabbed hold of the silver spear beside him.
“Don’t be nervous, we are darkness seeds too!”
‘The window was pushed open and as the moonlight streamed in, Xuanyuan Po saw a youth currently squatting on the window lattice and beckoning to him.
“Quickly, we won’t be able to leave if someone discovers us.”
The youth had a very anxious look on his face as he kept peering outside.
“Scram!”
Xuanyuan Po coldly shouted.
“What attitude is this? We are here to save you.”
The youth was unhappy.
“I don’t need people to save me!”
Xuanyuan Po flicked his wrist and launched a spear attack toward the youth. “If you still don’t leave, I will behead you.”
“Are you a retard? Why would you stay here to wait and die?” The youth was badly anxious. “Sun Mo won’t be able to protect you.”
“If he can’t, I’ll simply die.”
Xuanyuan Po remained immovable. “My teacher risked everything for me. I cannot let him down.”
The youth wanted to continue persuading, but Xuanyuan suddenly attacked.
The youth then hurriedly dodged and after cursing angrily, he vanished.
After the disturbance, Xuanyuan Po didn’t bother to close the window. He continued lying down as his mind recalled all the scenes that had happened after he took Sun Mo on as a personal teacher.
Sun Mo could even endure all his bad habits; he was truly a good teacher.
Outside the door, Helian Beifang looked at Tantai Yutang.
“Xuanyuan Po really can be considered as a responsible person!”
Helian Beifang felt very gratified that he didn’t misjudge Xuanyuan Po. “What should we do next? Should we go and capture those uninvited guests from earlier?”
“We will only be sending ourselves to our deaths if we go!”
The sickly invalid shook his head. “I know that you want to capture a few darkness seeds and use the credit to ask them to pardon Xuanyuan Po. But who could prove that those people are really darkness seeds?”
At this moment, many people wanted nothing more than for Sun Mo to meet misfortune. Hence, it was possible that they might be trying tricks such as first loosening reins only to grasp them tighter.
Helian Beifang fell silent. Given his intellect, he had naturally guessed at this possibility, but he wished to gamble.
Ata back alley, the youth who had just spoken to Xuanyuan Po climbed over a wall and entered a residence.
“How are things?”
Upon seeing the youth returning, his comrades all gathered over.
“He refuses to leave!”
The youth was depressed.
“Was your intention discovered?”
His comrades asked.
“He isn’t even listening to my words.”
The youth twitched his lips. “Besides, with the intellect of a martial fanatic, he has never considered that I was faking my identity.”
“No matter what, we have to think of a solution to get Xuanyuan Po out.”
His comrades racked their brains because once they succeeded in this, the major characters behind them would reward them heavily.
“Leave the matter of rescuing Xuanyuan to us. As for you guys, you all can naturally go and die.”
Acold voice rang out, causing everyone to jump in fright.
“Who?”
The youth shouted in a low voice.
“Naturally, we are the darkness seeds you guys look down upon!”
Square-face walked out from the shadows cast by the roof. Behind him, the comrades that had stopped Li Ziqi and the others that day also appeared.
‘They were the true darkness seeds.
“Kill them!” The youth roared in rage.
“Capture them alive!” Square-face charged forward.
Five minutes later, the combat ended. Square-face was grabbing the youth by his hair and lifted him up like a salted fish. “Daring to impersonate your granddaddy? You must have felt that your life was too long. Pui!”
Square-face spat a mouthful of phlegm on the youth’s face.
“According to them, Xuanyuan refused to leave. What should we do?”
Little Chestnut was worried.
Their purpose for coming here this time around, other than watching the competition, was also to comply with the orders given by their headmaster. They must do their utmost to bring Xuanyuan Po back to the Darkness Continent.
“Forcibly abduct him!”
Square-face gritted his teeth.
Sometime later, Square-face appeared in Xuanyuan Po’s room.
Bang!
Square-face tossed that unconscious youth from before onto the ground. “There, a gift for you.”
“Are you guys done? I’ve said I’m not leaving!”
There was an unfriendly look on the combat addict’s face.
“Wasn’t the reason why you came to the Nine Provinces to learn more profound spear techniques and to fight against those geniuses? I will tell you now that you can do the same in the Darkness Continent. There are also many geniuses in the academy founded by our headmaster.”
Little Chestnut persuaded.
“I won’t cause my teacher to lose honor!”
Xuanyuan Po was already impatient. “T’ll count to three. If you guys don’t leave, you all don’t have to leave anymore.”
Square-face wanted to act, but the countenance of Little Chestnut changed. He pulled him back and shook his head, indicating that there were people outside.
“Is it Li Ziqi?”
Square-face spoke.
“Aren’t you guys underestimating us a little too much?”
Li Ziqi pushed the door open and entered with an unfriendly look on her face.
“You should know that if Xuanyuan Po remains behind, his death is inevitable. So, if you guys truly treat him like a sibling, you should persuade him to leave with me.”
Square-face reminded.
“Are you teaching me how to do things?”
Li Ziqi coldly snorted.
Her tone was very tyrannical, and Square-face felt like beating her up.
“Do you feel that I’m not your opponent just because I’m not wearing my spirit rune armament?”
Li Ziqi suddenly pulled out her handgun and shot Square-face twice.
Bang! Bang!
The two bullets shot past Square-face’s head and penetrated the wall, leaving behind two fist-sized holes.
Terror appeared on Square-face and Little Chestnut’s face.
What weapon was that?
It felt so terrifying!
“Now, can you tell me who your group leader is? What’s your plan next?”
Li Ziqi smiled.
After a discussion, the little sunny egg allowed Square-face to leave, causing Xianyu Wei to feel very puzzled as she didn’t understand.
“Why don’t we capture all of them?”
The plains girl felt that they would gain credit if they did so.
Li Ziqi didn’t explain. She didn’t feel anything against darkness seeds. Besides, Xuanyuan Po definitely had to leave in the future, so she might as well do them a favor now so Xuanyuan Po would at least have a dwelling place in the future.
From their previous encounter, she could tell that these people treated Xuanyuan Po as a comrade. Hence, they were worthy of being trusted.
‘When it was close to midnight, only then did the head judge finish entertaining the others and return to his hotel.
The purpose of the banquet earlier was to recruit some allies to suppress Sun Mo. It would be best if they could make Sun Mo lose all his reputation and be banished from the great teacher world.
The head judge had drunk some wine earlier and felt a little intoxicated. However, his intoxication immediately vanished the moment he stepped into his room.
“An esteemed guest is here, I’ve neglected my manners.”
The head judge narrowed his eyes and stared at the mysterious man who was drinking tea in a relaxed manner. He was sitting on a chair next to the table and wearing a black mantle that hid his appearance.
“No matter what, Sun Mo is a superstar in our great teacher world and is an absolute genius who has the possibility of becoming the future Sect Lord. It isn’t too good for you guys to make trouble for him like this, right?”
The mysterious man ridiculed.
“Haha, the headmaster of a dark famous school is actually a character that hides in the shadows? How truly disappointing.”
The head judge laughed loudly.
“Same to you.”
The tone of the mysterious man contained fire in them. “Isn’t Zero Saint from the Dark Dawn the same as well?”
The head judge narrowed his eyes as his countenance sank.
“Is playing games fun?”
It was like the mysterious man didn’t detect the anger in the voice of the head judge, so he continued to tease. “Who would have thought that one of the three great Dark Saints of the Dark Dawn would be working in the Saint Gate. Truly, this is the shadow cast by the bright lamp.”
That’s right. The head judge was none other than the most mysterious Zero Saint. Other than the Dawn Sovereign, no one knew of his identity. Hence, this mysterious man before him was definitely someone with extremely high status and prestige.
Because only people of status equal to the Dawn Sovereign would know a secret of this level.
“Alright, let’s speak less nonsense. Why are you here to look for me? It can’t possibly be because of Sun Mo, right?”
Zero Saint sat before the mysterious man and poured a cup of tea for himself. He wasn’t the slightest bit afraid at all.
“What a coincidence, I did come here for Sun Mo. feel that we should leave a seed for the great teacher world, or Su Taiging would be too miserable. He wouldn’t even have a junior that’s worthy to be supported and nurtured.”
The mysterious man’s tone was calm, but his words were unquestionable.
“You know my boss’s true identity?”
Zero Saint frowned.
“Five years ago, I was fortunate enough to cooperate with him. I admire his character very much.”
The mysterious man explained.
“Logically speaking, if I force Sun Mo to rebel, it would be of benefits to you guys, right?”
Zero Saint didn’t understand.
He was deliberately targeting Sun Mo under the pretext of maintaining and upholding tradition. Although many people felt that he was jealous of Sun Mo, his true purpose was to get a powerful ally to join the Dark Dawn.
After all, if Sun Mo could no longer make a living in the Nine Provinces, he could only become a dark great teacher.
“Dark great teachers are great teachers too. Don’t tell me you only look at the current benefits and not the future?”
The mysterious man sneered. “No matter how righteous or grand the things you guys want to do, as long as you all have the title of ‘dark great teachers’, no one in the world will agree with your righteousness!
“Zero Saint. This world is ultimately a world in the light, and Sun Mo has a certain chance that he could succeed in leading the great teachers of the Nine Provinces toward a more beautiful and better future.”
“You really regard him highly!”
The Zero Saint understood the mysterious man’s meaning now. The number of great teachers added up was simply way too many compared to dark great teachers. If Sun Mo could lead these great teachers, he would be able to unleash an even greater effect.
The mysterious man shook his head. (Regarding him highly? Once… in my eyes, he was useless trash that was not worthy of even a bit of care from me.)
“Are you done? You can leave now!”
Zero Saint gave the expulsion order.
Pak!
The mysterious man then tossed a box at Zero Saint.
“There’s a Nine Spirits Revolving Saint Pill inside. After eating it, it can conceal your saint’s aura.”
Zero Saint’s eyes brightened and clasped his fists in thanks.
There were some words that the two of them didn’t speak. For example, how to handle Xuanyuan Po. However, both of them already had a tacit mutual understanding.
On the second morning, the head judge and some members from the Saint Gate appeared.
Actually, some of them didn’t care whether Xuanyuan Po died or not. They only came here because they wanted to see if they had any chance of selling Sun Mo a favor.
God Hands, Skyward Spirit Rune, and the various top-level divine arts. They wanted all of these.
The guest meeting room was packed to the brim.
“Those below 7-stars get out!”
A major character couldn’t stand such an atmosphere and opened his mouth to instruct.
Sun Mo stood up and walked away.
“Teacher Sun, what are you doing?”
The head judge frowned.
“Tma 6-stars.”
Sun Mo glanced at the maid who was about to serve the tea.
(Why are you still serving tea? Just bring it back!)
All the major characters didn’t feel that their statuses were higher than Sun Mo. On the contrary, they felt very embarrassed and were almost angered to death by him. After all, although Sun Mo was a 6-stars, his weightage here was too heavy.
“Teacher Sun, don’t do this. We came here also because we wanted to resolve this perfectly!”
After a major character finished speaking, the others also verbalized their agreement. Before they sold a favor, they should forge a good relationship at the very least, right? They must not let their counterparts succeed before them..
