Chapter 128 Before the War
That night.

After completing the transaction with the Tang Clan, Jiang Mo took Lu Jin away and went to Jianghu Inn to ask Liu Wei about the bases of the three assassination forces, but was told that he had no clue either.

"These guys are very cunning. I've had informants who were trying to gather information caught by them a few times. Fortunately, they gave me face and only issued a warning. There were no casualties."

Liu Wei leaned back in his chair, feeling sleepy and tired. He had just finished a day's chores and it was almost dawn. He was just about to wash his face and rest when he unexpectedly met a visit from Trinity.

"Master Jiang, you are trying to find out the whereabouts of these bastards. Did they provoke you?"

Liu Wei could vaguely smell the smell of gunpowder, and he knew something about the nature of those forces who only cared about money.

It is estimated that there is an irreparable conflict with the Sanyi Sect at this moment, otherwise Jiang Mo, the sect leader, would not have gone there in person at night to ask for clues.

Jiang Mo suddenly smiled, his tone a little cold: "Provoke? These trivial people were commissioned by the remnants of Quan Xing, and they are trying to kill me and my disciples."

"If I don't talk to them, I'm afraid I'll be failing in my duty as the head of the sect."

"Is it really so? It's really crazy."

Even though Liu Wei was drowsy, he was so shocked by the news that he lost all desire to sleep. He never expected that these three assassination forces, under the instigation of the Quan Xing demon, would target the Sanyi Sect.

"Master Jiang, although we can't dig up their base in Xiaozhan, we can still contact them by finding a way."

Liu Wei knew Jiang Mo's character very well. He was decisive in killing people and had never shown any mercy. So he suggested, "Do you have anything you want to tell them?"

"Before they take action, let them build more cenotaphs, mobilize all of their forces, or join forces to attack. It doesn't matter. I will accompany them to the end and wait at the Trinity Gate."

Liu Wei laughed in silence. He was not worried about the ruthless man in front of him. Instead, he was looking forward to the beginning of a new bloody battle.

"Okay, Liu will definitely bring your words to those idiots."

Immediately, Liu Wei looked at the scroll unfolded on the table, pointed at the portraits of the two demons, and discussed with Jiang Mo:

"If I let these families send you the heads of the two monsters, do you think this matter can be delayed?"

"There is no need for that. They will not make such a choice. Since they are on the opposite side, it is nothing more than a life-and-death struggle. Just let them be prepared to die."

Jiang Mo had a strong attitude, and there was no room for negotiation with him. Unless he fought his way out of this difficult situation, those scum would never learn their lesson.

"Okay, I understand what you mean."

Liu Wei shook the copper bell on the table.

Soon, several helpers who were on standby downstairs came up and, following his instructions, set out to contact the informants of the assassination forces scattered around.

In the early morning, Jiang Mo thanked Liu Wei and said goodbye.

After a night of travel, he and Lu Jin returned to Trinity Gate when the sun was rising in the morning.

At noon, inside Siming Palace.

When all the disciples arrived, Jiang Mo told them about the conflict that might break out next and the fight against the three assassination forces. As the sect leader, he asked them to stay in the mountain.

"I have heard of the Sin Sand, Shadow Bamboo Society, and the Myriad Thoughts Hand, but I have never fought against them."

Si Chong sat upright and said in a deep voice:

"Since they have this idea, Junior Brother, let's work harder to eliminate them and pave the way for the little guys. What do you think?"

All the disciples in the hall, as well as four elderly disciples, were waiting for Jiang Mo's orders.

The next second, Jiang Mo's clear voice sounded as expected:

"Be prepared for war. As long as they step into the territory of our Trinity Sect, I will wipe them out without leaving any alive."

"Yes, uncle!"

The young disciples, led by Cheng Zhen, were all ready for battle.

"From now on, the Qi map in the Sutra Library will be guarded by two people in a shift day and night. If you find anything abnormal, notify me and your sect leader uncle."

Even a lion must use all its strength to fight a rabbit; underestimating the enemy and being careless is a big taboo in military strategy.

Last time, due to the urgent situation, Si Chong had no choice but to take the risk with Cheng Zhen, but this time he will not repeat the same mistake.

"Take advantage of this time to practice and recuperate. The meeting is adjourned."

Jiang Mo didn't say much. Just as he walked out of Siming Hall, a figure hurried over from behind.

"Uncle Master, I want to break through the barrier. Can you help me and protect me?"

It was Zhuge Yu's voice. Jiang Mo did not turn around, but just said softly: "Follow me."

In a moment, the two arrived at the back mountain, found a quiet cave, and started to break through.

"Relax, Uncle Master is watching you right beside you. It's okay. Remember what I taught you before."

Jiang Mo patted Zhuge Yu on the shoulder and told him to put aside all distractions and focus on breaking through.

"The disciple understands."

Zhuge Yu used his profound skills, and a faint white Qi attached to his body surface, successfully establishing a state of reverse rebirth.

"call--"

He exhaled a breath of Qi, walked to the depths of the cave, sat cross-legged, closed his eyes and tried to break through the second level.

Jiang Mo stayed near the cave, his figure gradually becoming transparent, reducing his presence to the minimum. Where his eyes were focused, a series of crystal white Qi rays appeared above Zhuge Yu's eyebrows, and continued to spread to his limbs and bones, merging into his flesh, blood, and tendons.

Even the internal organs were trembling slightly, and were undergoing transformation under the influence of the Qi rays.

In the following time, the pale white Qi light gradually turned into a thin blue. As a result, more blue-white Qi was generated from the internal organs, replacing the original white Qi.

Zhuge Yu circulated his Qi smoothly without any deviation. His heartbeat became stronger, vibrating at a special frequency. His flesh, blood, and bones were all being tempered, slowly approaching the invisible but clearly perceptible barrier.

Sprint past
Leaping over the past
As the second level approached, Zhuge Yu's aura became more and more powerful, and he actually threw away a large part of the previous blue and white qi that was lingering around his body, taking on the shape of a flame, clear and rich.

He kept in mind the advice of his uncle-master, did not dare to slack off, and devoted himself to breaking through the barrier.

Several hours passed quickly, and when dusk was approaching, the setting sun was about to sink into the horizon. In the dim cave, the blue and white light slowly dimmed and went out.

Until finally, a sigh of relief echoed in the depths.

Immediately afterwards, Zhuge Yu finished the challenge, successfully reached the second level of Nisheng, and walked out of the cave.

"Uncle Master, I did it, I did it!!!"

Facing the overjoyed disciples, Jiang Mo, who was leaning against the rock wall at the entrance of the cave, couldn't help but smile: "Sure, Little Zhuge."

"You have accomplished something. You really didn't disappoint your uncle."

Jiang Mo rubbed Zhuge Yu's head, feeling very happy.

There is a world of difference between the first and second levels of rebirth. The advanced Zhuge Yu has already entered the stage of potential bursting out and will surely shine in the future.

Then, Jiang Mo told Zhuge Yu to stay calm and not to circulate his Qi. He placed his right hand on Zhuge Yu's forehead and began to teach him the true method.

After the flesh and blood merged with the first level of true law, Zhuge Yu could feel in a trance that his body was undergoing another unknown transformation.

Not only does the true Qi in the body flow more smoothly, it also seems to be able to refine natural substances through Qi, as if it were a strange innate method that was suddenly awakened.

"Uncle Master, is this the true method?!"

Zhuge Yu was so excited that he was incoherent. As a sorcerer, he was more perceptive than the rest of his fellow disciples and was the first to notice the extraordinary nature of the magic, which seemed to have undergone numerous changes.

"Yes, when you have time, you can think about it slowly. If you encounter any confusion, just come to me."

Jiang Mo patted Zhuge Yu's head and looked at this somewhat upright disciple. He felt that he was somewhat like the impetuous man he was in his youth, so he smiled again.

"Let's go back home. It's almost time for dinner. You have to tell everyone your good news."

"Okay, Uncle Master."

Zhuge Yu looked at the afterglow of the setting sun filling the mountains. He felt more relaxed than ever before and suddenly felt that the world was vast.

Wuyuan City.

A rickshaw slowly stopped at a villa in a bustling area. Su Huo and Xia Liuqing got out of the car and entered the villa.

"But screw the Tang Sect, you stinky dog, why are you putting on airs?"

"It's a wasted trip, wasting so much time."

Su Huo, unhappy, picked up the foreign wine in the display case and threw it out. It hit the ground and shattered into a pool of water stains and glass shards.

Jin Feng, who had returned from the Sin Sand in advance, was sitting quietly on the sofa waiting when she suddenly heard the noise and asked in confusion:

"Old Xia, how many deals have you negotiated?"

"Both families."

Xia Liuqing sighed slightly. Seeing that Jin Feng was safe, his heart finally settled down.

Su Huo was like an angry beast, with sinister eyes. He unbuttoned his shirt and sat down, mocking himself:

"The Shadow Bamboo Society and the Myriad Thoughts Hand are both complete."

"Not only did the Tang Sect reject me, they also wanted to kill me. Fortunately, I escaped quickly."

He had consumed a lot of energy and vitality in concealing his true appearance along the way, and was extremely tired.

When I came out of the last Wan Nian's hand, my hands and feet were numb and cramped. It was exhausting to do business with these lunatics who killed people without blinking an eye.

"If the Tang Sect refuses, they won't be lacking. But did you and Old Xia come into conflict with them?"

Listening to Jin Feng's question, Su Huo picked up the tea brought by the servant and drank it in big gulps. After quenching his thirst, he said:

"When this brat and I approached, our identities must have been discovered. The old man wanted to kill us. Fortunately, I brought enough people with me, otherwise we would have been left there."

"What about you? Jinfeng, did you do it?"

Su Huo was eager to get the news. After losing the support of Tang Sect, although he had negotiated the intervention of two assassination forces, he still felt a little uneasy. He just hoped to win over as many forces as possible, so as to use the advantage of numbers to wear down Sanyi Sect.

"There was an old acquaintance of mine in the sin sand. The negotiation went smoothly, but the price was a bit high. They swallowed up all the gold I brought, and even asked for double the price."

"I promised this deal in your name." Jin Feng repeated all the details of the negotiation.

Su Huo's face was uncertain. He was not worried about the money, but asked doubtfully, "Jin Feng, are you sure they will make a move?"
