NOVEL NEXT Chapter 331 Record_3
"It should be."
Su Mo gently tapped his forehead before saying:
"That day, the High Priest said that the Holy Artifact of the descendants of the White Tiger Clan is also a Divine Weapon.
"It has been taken out many times to repel foreign enemies.
"The invasion by the four great experts of the Da Xuan Dynasty clearly marks them as formidable foes.
"Using the Holy Artifact to fend off enemies is rather ordinary...
"However, there must have been other significant events taking place within the Tiger Lord Hall back then.
"The person endowed with Nine Purple, relying solely on his own strength, managed to fight the High Priest for thousands of rounds, neither winning nor losing.
"If the other people had taken action at the same time, the High Priest would definitely not have been a match.
"But, the depths of this secret are probably profound, which is why it couldn't be recorded on the bamboo scrolls."
"Uh... What do we do now?"
Yang Xiaoyun asked.
Su Mo had achieved his first goal in coming to Baihu City.
That was to check the detailed records of the four great experts of the Da Xuan Dynasty from that year.
It appears he has seen them now.
Yang Xiaoyun didn't ask any more about the matter...
The person who carried Nine Purple used a Hand Technique that was identical to the Ziyang Divine Palm executed by Su Mo.
It could almost be confirmed that the martial arts practiced by this person was indeed the Nine Purple Fierce Sun Burning Sky Technique.
Moreover, Duan Song had said in the Pure Yang Hall of the Ziyang Sect that throughout history, only the Kai Shan Hall master of the Ziyang Sect had ever cultivated this martial arts to its highest form, the Ninth Purple Stage.
All the evidence pointed towards the Ziyang Sect.
However, Su Mo had already calmed down a lot by now.
Regardless of whether the Ziyang Sect originated from the Imperial Dao, it now counted as his sect.
As long as there is no direct evidence proving that Ziyang Sect had a hidden agenda, it's better to feign ignorance for now.
He looked up at the ascending steps and suddenly smiled:
"Baihu City has been established on Hu Jun Mountain for hundreds of years, yet its disciples have never left Baihu City.
"Whether the events recorded previously are true remains to be seen.
"They have dug through Hu Jun Mountain to hide their purpose.
"This secret must be absolutely vital to them.
"However, for us, it probably doesn't hold much significance.
"My trip here was firstly to see the records of the four great experts of the ancient Da Xuan Dynasty.
"And secondly, to ask the High Priest for an explanation... but not to unearth and probe into their secrets.
"Now that I have found what I was looking for, let's just go and meet the High Priest."
Yang Xiaoyun couldn't help looking at Su Mo and said with a smile:
"The secret is right before your eyes, within easy reach, yet you can restrain yourself?"
"Whether it's within easy reach is true, but who knows..."
Su Mo stretched out his hand and tapped Yang Xiaoyun's forehead:
"Let's go..."
Yang Xiaoyun and Xu Lu naturally looked up to Su Mo as their leader.
But just as they were about to turn and leave, a sudden tiger roar echoed.
The direction of the sound came from the steps leading upwards.
From here, one could see a door behind the steps.
With the sound of the tiger roar, the door seemed to be shaking slightly, and even the ground where they stood was quivering.
The might of a single roar was so powerful?!
The three of them were startled at the same time.
Xu Lu was particularly terrified:
"Tiger Lord?!"
Su Mo's lips twitched:
"How could it be?"
As a transmigrator, he should be the one most willing to believe in spirits and gods.
After all, he himself was a soul that had crossed over.
But in his time roaming the Jianghu, there were no ghosts, and how could there be gods?
It's all just people pretending to be a god.
But now, if it wasn't the Tiger Lord, then how could this roar possess such might?
Even Su Mo was slightly surprised for a moment.
As he stood there in momentary amazement, the door suddenly opened with a crack.
A figure shot out from inside.
He must have been hit and sent flying, not only because his body was in a backward flight but also because he was shedding blood all along his path.
He appeared quite spectacular.
And his direction, coincidentally, was towards Su Mo and the others.
Then Su Mo and the others quietly watched him soar before them and then crash heavily onto the ground.
After a bounce upon landing, he spat out a mouthful of blood and finally lay still.
His eyes were about to show pain but suddenly caught sight of Su Mo and the others.
He was taken aback... The pain in his body seemed to pause for a moment.
The next moment, he exclaimed in astonishment:
"You..."
After uttering two words, his eyes lost all their luster.
He died from exhaustion!
Indeed, he deserved to die.
Not because he flew so far or fell from such a height on the steps.
But because the wound in his chest was extremely severe.
Not to mention his entire chest had collapsed; three claw marks had pierced through his entire chest.
The organs were all split in two, and his body was barely holding together by a bit of skin.
After the fall, he was no longer recognizable.
At this moment, the blood soaking the surrounding ground was a deep red.
Yang Xiaoyun nonchalantly withdrew a section of the Dragon Abyss Spear, measuring the wounds on his body, and turned back to look at Su Mo:
"Could it be really the Tiger Lord?
"Those claws aren't small..."
Su Mo snorted and as the door was opened, the sounds that were blocked streamed in.
The sound of tiger roars and the agonizing screams were endless.
Standing there, Su Mo listened for a moment and then said:
"What if there's no Tiger Lord in Tiger Lord Hall,
"then who exactly are those Chief Stewards serving?"
As if to respond to his question, the next moment another person flew out from that Stone Gate.
However, this person was clearly much stronger than the first; his body adjusted several times in mid-air and managed to land smoothly.
Yet, as soon as he looked up and saw Su Mo and his companions, he was taken aback:
"You... why are you here?"
Su Mo glanced at the man and suddenly smiled:
"Chief Steward, you're quite lively! It seems your injuries from the other day have healed well? Congratulations are in order!"
