Chapter 170: A Hundred-foot Pole
"Uncle Master!!"

"Master Jiang!!"

Everyone rushed over, fearing that something unexpected had happened. There was almost no intact part of Jiang Mo's body.

Lu Jin wanted to help, but Gu Yu held his wrist tightly and reminded him:

"Master Jiang has not yet gotten rid of the poison. You must not touch him. We may not be able to deal with him."

"Uncle Master, how are you?"

Cheng Zhen looked at the bloody scar, with many white bones exposed and large areas of flesh and blood necrosis, and felt extremely uncomfortable.

"It's okay, I'm fine."

Jiang Mo gave a relieved smile. After the fierce battle, he felt weak all over and had no strength left.

"Seniors, please help me."

"Please speak quickly. There's no need to be polite, Master Jiang." The brothers Gu Xuanche and Gu Yu were moved.

This is an existence more powerful than Luo Wuyuan's ancestor. The respectful title of "senior" alone is enough to make them flattered.

"The captured medicine people near the ancient city of Nanjiang are trapped in the base of the Medicine Fairy Association. Their leader was just killed by me with a sword."

"Cough cough."

As he was speaking, his internal injuries started to ache, and Jiang Mo coughed up black blood. He continued:
"I urgently need to return to the Central Plains for retreat. I still need to trouble you with the hostage matter."

"Save as many as you can."

The two elders and Yan Baili agreed without hesitation: "Okay, Master Jiang, we will take care of this for you."

"You are so seriously injured, why don't you stay in Southern Xinjiang? We will find a good place for you to rest and recuperate."

"Besides, if you go back rashly, the poison in your body may leave you with a hidden disease that you will never be able to get rid of. If you stay here, maybe we can think of a way."

In response to Gu Xuanche's request to stay, Jiang Mo shook his head and declined:
"Elder Gu, I can resolve the poison, so I don't need to bother you with anything else."

Immediately, he opened the door of heaven and urged Lu Jin and the other two to go in.

"We are ashamed that we were unable to intervene in your fight with the monster. If we could have helped a little, your injuries would not be so serious."

Several old men felt very upset. They had practiced hard for more than ninety years and had mastered the methods inherited from their clan to perfection, but in the end they were helpless, like puppets on strings, witnessing the outbreak of an unprecedented bloody battle.

“No need to say more”

Jiang Mo's consciousness gradually became blurred, and even his vision began to become dim and double vision appeared. He said a brief goodbye.

"We'll meet again someday. You're welcome to visit Central Plains."

Then, Jiang Mo formed seals with his hands, and used his Qi to perform the "The End of the World Is Just a Chi away". He disappeared in an instant, crossing thousands of miles and returning to the pond in the back mountain of Sanyi.

"Wow."

Jiang Mo dragged his heavy body to the shore and released Lu Jin, Cheng Zhen and Wei Er with a wave of his hand.

"Uncle Master, you."

"I'm very good."

Jiang Mo interrupted Lu Jin's worried greetings and gave them a serious and earnest instruction:

"You guys go down. I will be in seclusion for a few days. From now on, the sect will be left to you to take care of."

"Cheng Zhen, tell my senior brother to make further progress."

"The disciple understands."

Cheng Zhen's frown suddenly relaxed. Just as he thought, his uncle was using the monster's methods to sharpen his body.

After they left, Jiang Mo set up restrictions around him. Earth walls rose from the ground one after another. He gathered the surrounding thunderclouds and covered a small area in the back mountain. After making many preparations, he began to meditate and cultivate his body.

late at night.

Cheng Zhen hurried back to the sect's Sutra Library, met Si Chong, and told him everything that happened in the battle in Southern Xinjiang. Hearing the old man's changeable expression, he was almost scared out of his wits.

It was not until he heard what Jiang Mo said that he realized it was a false alarm and murmured:
"Is it."

"Go one step further." "It seems that Junior Brother has gained a lot from this trip. God bless Trinity. There is hope for its rise."

The efficiency of Jiang Mo's surprise attack was even higher than he had imagined. In less than one night, he had solved his biggest threat and wiped out all the remnants of the evil cultivators from the past.

Si Chong couldn't help feeling a little dazed. Gradually, while he felt joy, an indescribable sense of melancholy arose in his heart. If only his senior brother was there too.

Can you see it? Junior brother, he has walked a long way, alas.

a few days later.

At a port in a small coastal town, the ferry roared and blew out wisps of black smoke. Many passengers were boarding the ship, preparing to go abroad for business or study.

"Master, aren't you leaving?"

Li Muxuan looked hesitant, looked at Wu Gensheng beside him, and said:

"Nowadays, the various factions of the Trinity Sect are vying to curry favor with us. If we stay on the mainland, I'm afraid our lives will be in danger."

"Master, as long as you have the green mountains, you will not be afraid of running out of firewood. Come with me to the country."

"I have learned foreign languages. At least with my skills, I can find a place to stay overseas and have enough food and clothing."

"No."

Wu Gensheng had a bitter look on his face, and with his trembling right hand he handed over a boat ticket and stuffed it into Li Muxuan's hand.

"Go ahead, I'll take you there."

"Master, I'm sorry to have caused you trouble during this period."

Li Muxuan felt guilty and bowed to Wu Gensheng. It wasn't long before the boat was about to set sail, but he stood stiffly on the spot, as if his feet had taken root and he couldn't move.

"You are my disciple. If I don't help you, how can you expect others to help you?"

"The ship is leaving the port, go quickly."

Wu Gensheng was in a very bad condition, his pupils were dull, his lips were pale, and he spoke weakly. He shook his hand gently, urging Li Muxuan to get on board quickly.

"Take care."

Li Muxuan looked back every three steps. Soon, he made up his mind, quickened his pace, and disappeared into the dense crowd.

It was not until the ferry slowly sailed towards the boundless ocean that Wu Gensheng slowly withdrew his gaze, dragged his weak body, and walked away.

Shanghai, Concession Area.

Yin Chengfeng and Gao Gen, holding the letter given by Liu Po, traveled from south to north for a week, taking many risks, and finally sneaked into this prosperous area.

They traveled through the streets and alleys, avoiding the patrolmen roaming the streets, and headed straight to the church on the edge based on the intelligence.

The church was exceptionally peaceful and uniquely decorated, but it was deserted, not even for believers praying. Looking around, there were only empty benches and slightly swaying candles hanging around.

"Is it here?"

Gao Gen raised his eyebrows and asked. The strange smell mixed in the air, which was suspected to be released by those foreign candles, made him feel uncomfortable.

"Correct."

"follow me."

It was Yin Chengfeng's first time to come to this church. He felt scared, as if he was being stared at by a pair of eyes. Following Liu Po's instructions, he walked along the right wall until he stopped on the ground of the third row of benches and leaned over to press and move the bricks.

"click"

After triggering the mechanism, a secret door slowly turned from the wall in front, revealing a staircase leading downwards.

After hesitating for a moment, Yin Chengfeng said, "Brother Gao, wait for me outside;"

"If you don't see me come out in half an hour, you can leave first."

"Okay, be careful." Gao Gen nodded.

The two reached a consensus, Yin Chengfeng stepped into the secret door, and his back gradually disappeared into the bottomless darkness.
