Chapter 128.1 Help Me Persuade Zhang Li’er (1/2)

In Gongyi Teahouse’s courtyard!

The atmosphere was extremely awkward! Mo Sanshan didn’t expect that Wang Ke and Zhang Zhengdao would recognize him after changing his voice and concealing his aura. Damn, these two are nuts! Why the hell would you stare at my shoes!

“Hall Lord Mo, I really admire intelligence agents like you.” Wang Ke sighed in amazement. “I’ve worked in the same line of business while I lived in the Mortal Zone, but I was too weak to do much. You instead are powerful enough to both do whatever you want and pull strings in the dark. I truly admire you!”

Mo Sanshan looked fixedly at Wang Ke. Are you trying to praise or insult me?

I’m the West Wolf Hall Lord, after all! I concealed my identity, but you guys recognized me right away? Such an embarrassment!

“Wang Ke? You have keen eyes! But do you know what I’m here for?” Mo Sanshan said with a chilling tone.

“That’s not important! What’s important is that you came at the right time! I really need to thank you!” Wang Ke continued, still feeling amazed.

Mo Sanshan: “………………………!”

Not important? Thank me for what?

“Hall Lord Mo, don’t tell me you’re here to get rid of us?” Zhang Zhengdao said, feeling worried.

“How could Hall Lord Mo be here to get rid of us? He’s a Hall Lord, and so am I. You’re an elder! We’re all colleagues! Are you out of your mind? Zhang Zhengdao, don’t spout rubbish!” Wang Ke said with a smile.

Mo Sanshan looked at Wang Ke with icy eyes and said, “You’re lacking in vigilance; so what if we are from the same sect? What if I truly am here to deal with the two of you? What else can you do?”

“Ah?” Zhang Zhengdao’s face froze.

“It’s nothing! It’s just a matter of one sentence!” Wang Ke replied.

But Zhang Zhengdao urged anxiously, “He’s an Astral Infant! It would be the end for us if he’s really here to kill us! Wang Ke, didn’t you hear him say he’s here to deal with us?”

Wang Ke, do you remember why you left the Heavenly Wolf Sect? Didn’t you do it to hide from Mo Sanshan, this scheming old man? Damn, he chased us all the way here and blatantly said he’ll deal with us. What should we do?

“One sentence? What are you going to say?” Mo Sanshan asked, feeling puzzled.

Wang Ke took a deep breath and suddenly looked up to the sky.

He’s looking at the sky?

Mo Sanshan and Zhang Zhengdao looked up to the night sky, visibly confused.

There was nothing but moonlight up there. There’s nothing! What is he looking at?

“Everyone, listen up! Hall Lord Mo Sanshan from the Heavenly Wolf Sect is here to visit me, Wang Ke!” Wang Ke roared into the night sky.

His voice reverberated throughout the entire Zhu Cultivation Town.

Zhang Zhengdao: “………………………!”

Mo Sanshan: “………………………!”

Little did they expect that Wang Ke had lifted his head while preparing the Qi in his core cradle to boost his volume; he wasn’t looking into the sky.

And so, everyone in town was awakened by Wang Ke.

“I know. Thanks for letting us know, Clan Lord Wang! I will go and register! Please put in a good word for me with the West Wolf Hall Lord!”

“Clan Lord Wang, I won’t be joining. I’m too afraid of dying and don’t want to fight wars!”

“Clan Lord Wang, you really have good connections!”

“Wang Ke, stop showing off. Do you have to let everyone know about your guest?”

“Wang Ke! Can you please let me sleep?”

…………………………

……………………

…………

The entire town was instantly abuzz.

Mo Sanshan stood there in a daze, lost for words.

Zhang Zhengdao was surprised. He said, “Ohh, now I get what you meant by ‘one sentence’. Hall Lord Mo would be the main suspect if anything happens to Wang Ke and me tonight. Chen Tianyuan is away, but he would surely come later to investigate once he returns and realizes that Wang Ke is dead. That is, unless you massacre the entire Zhu Cultivation Town!”

Wang Ke shook his head and said, “There’s no way he would do that! Killing off an entire cultivation town is not something he would do! Not even demons would do such a thing! Besides, even if one managed to get out, the entire world would know about this; he would then become the common enemy of both the demonic and the righteous factions!”

Zhang Zhengdao added, “Not only thato! He would be carrying that ill-fated reputation for the rest of his life. Even if he tries to join a faction outside the Ten-thousand Great Mountains, his violent record would be exposed once they investigate his background. The righteous cultivators would go after him!”

Mo Sanshan’s face blackened upon hearing them. Damn, it really took just one sentence. Who the hell would expect Wang Ke to play this trick? Scheming bast*rd! I’m an agent working in the dark, and yet you light countless torches to put me in the spotlight; what can I do? Chen Tianyuan is also backing Wang Ke; what else can I do?

“Hahahaha! Wang Ke, Zhang Zhengdao, I was just joking!” Mo Sanshan said with a stiff face.

Fortunately for him, the black hood concealed his face enough to hide his expression.

“I know! If not, I wouldn’t have said you were my guest; I would have shouted that you were here to kill me! I just said that one sentence is all it takes. You didn’t believe me and asked me what that sentence was. That’s why I subjected myself to that utterly awkward moment to demonstrate!” Wang Ke said with a smile.

Mo Sanshan’s face twitched. Oh, so it’s my fault!

“But coming back to my question, Hall Lord Mo, why are you here?” Wang Ke asked curiously.

Why am I here? Mo Sanshan was feeling annoyed. He had allowed Tong An’an to steal the “Dog Nose,” all to lure the bigger prey backing the latter. He was only prepared to pull strings in the dark, never expecting Tong An’an to be that useless. Only a few days passed, and they fell into Wang Ke’s hands again! Damn it. These guys’ Golden Core cultivation must be fake! And now I have to make an appearance to get you guys out!

“I have something to discuss with you!” Mo Sanshan said with a complex look.

“Oh? Hall Lord Mo, we are colleagues; you don’t have to be this courteous. Please speak!” Wang Ke nodded.

“It’s about Tong An’an and his gang; I got careless and lost track of them. It took me quite some effort to find out that they came here!” Mo Sanshan said.

“I just caught them! Hall Lord Mo, are you here to take credit for it?” Wang Ke asked, frowning.

Mo Sanshan felt conflicted. Tong An’an, you fool! You really fell into his hands! Damn it, why do you always get captured by Wang Ke! You’re making my life so much harder!

“The thing is this: West Wolf Hall is in charge of collecting intel across the entire Ten-thousand Great Mountains. Tong An’an and his men have deep connections with the demonic sect, but the last time I got careless and let them escape. I wanted to profit from this gaffe to follow them and probe for deeper secrets behind them! It’ll be beneficial for the righteous faction and all living beings!” said Mo Sanshan in a serious tone.

“Hall Lord Mo, it’s not good for me to criticize you, but do you know how much effort it took me to capture him? I suffered a lot to catch him, and you just let him off like that? You really wasted all my effort! It would have been better for me to just kill them and get virtue merit for that!” Wang Ke said in frustration.

Zhang Zhengdao looked at Wang Ke with surprise. Was it difficult to catch Tong An’an back then in God Wang Tower? Didn’t you just open the door and catch him? You didn’t even fight!

Mo Sanshan shook his head and said, “I know, I know. Your effort was and is commendable, but this is really important for the righteous faction! Please be more understanding! Why don’t I compensate you for the eleven demons’ worth of virtue merit!”

“Sure then! We are fellow righteous cultivators. Works for me!” Wang Ke nodded.
