Chapter 1813 - Broken Sword
Chapter 1813: Broken Sword
To be fair, Su Zimo was only a Grade 4 Black Immortal.
As for Snow Wind Ridge, they were not considered as the top combat strength.
The Territorial Lord of Snow Wind Ridge was a Grade 6 Black Immortal while his Protector was a Grade 5 Black Immortal.
However, for some reason, Xia Qingying had a strange feeling in her heart, as though she had a sixth sense, that the green-robed man before her was very, very important to Snow Wind Ridge.
If this person were to leave, it would be a huge loss for Snow Wind Ridge!
That was the reason why she wanted to try her best to retain Su Zimo.
However, Su Zimo merely shook his head gently.
When Xia Qingying saw that Su Zimo was determined, she could only sigh.
The two of them stood facing each other in silence for a moment. As though she recalled something, Xia Qingying took out a storage bag and handed it to Su Zimo. “Fellow Daoist Su, the storage bags of the dozens of Evil Wolf Army soldiers you killed initially are all inside. Keep them.”
Su Zimo thought about it and did not reject it.
Actually, he would not have thought too much about it even if Xia Qingying kept the storage bags for herself.
He had intended to leave something for Snow Wind Ridge upon his departure as well.
Su Zimo received the storage bag and scanned it with his spirit consciousness.
The items in the storage bag were not much different from the storage bags of the Evil Wolf Army—there were Dharmic treasures, immortal herbs and Essence Condensation Pills.
Su Zimo put away the immortal herbs and Essence Condensation Pills. Just as he was about to return the remaining Dharmic treasures and weapons to Xia Qingying, his heart skipped a beat.
Earlier on, his palm accidentally touched a storage bag.
The Bronze Square Tripod that was initially silent in his consciousness vibrated strangely!
Frowning slightly, Su Zimo picked up the storage bag and started checking it.
“That’s the storage bag of the leader,”
Xia Qingying said.
Su Zimo nodded and put away the storage bag as well. Thereafter, he stuffed all the Dharmic treasures he had collected from the Evil Wolf Army into a storage bag and handed it to Xia Qingying.
“Fellow Daoist Su, w-what are you doing?”
Xia Qingying was at a loss.
There were more than 500 black-grade Dharmic treasures!
Although they were all inferior black-grade, this was an unimaginable wealth for Snow Wind Ridge!
More than half of the Black Immortals in Snow Wind Ridge did not have black-grade Dharmic treasures.
Even for the guards of Snow Wind Ridge, slightly more than a hundred of them had Dharmic treasures.
If Snow Wind Ridge obtained those Dharmic treasures, their overall strength would increase significantly!
“Accept it,”
Su Zimo smiled.
Those dark-grade Dharmic treasures were almost useless to him.
His Grade 9 Green Lotus True Body was completely superior to inferior black-grade Dharmic treasures!
“T-This is way too precious!”
Xia Qingying still could not believe or accept it.
Su Zimo smiled. “You deserve it. Don’t forget, when I first descended on the Dragon Abyss Star, you gave me a bottle of healing elixirs and a Dust Removal Talisman.”
Xia Qingying’s eyes reddened.
She had not expected that Su Zimo would still remember her subtle actions back then.
Furthermore, he even gave her such a huge reward in return!
In terms of value, any single inferior black-grade Dharmic treasure was enough to exchange for hundreds of thousands of bottles of those elixirs and Dust Removal Talismans.
Su Zimo released his spirit consciousness and scanned his surroundings carefully. When he did not sense anyone spying on him, he said, “Don’t worry, although I’ll leave Snow Wind Ridge, I won’t be able to leave the Dragon Abyss Star within a short period of time.”
“Keep this messenger talisman well. If anything dangerous happens in Snow Wind Ridge, tear this talisman and I’ll know.”
Su Zimo took out a messenger talisman from his storage bag and handed it to Xia Qingying.
“Yes,”
Xia Qingying pursed her lips slightly with a hint of reluctance in her eyes. “Brother Su, you have to take care too.”
Su Zimo waved it off casually. Just as he was about to turn and leave, he suddenly paused and whispered, “I’ve got to remind you about something. Be careful of Chen Xuanyang.”
He could not reveal that Chen Xuanyang colluded with the Evil Wolf Army.
After all, he did not have any evidence. Even if he said it, it would only be a one-sided statement.
He could only leave a reminder for Xia Qingying.
“Yes,”
Xia Qingying nodded.
When Su Zimo saw that Xia Qingying’s expression was calm, as though she had expected it, he could not help but ask in surprise, “You knew about it long ago?”
“I was merely suspicious previously,”
Xia Qingying said, “Chen Xuanyang appeared not long after you left. Isn’t that too much of a coincidence? Furthermore, you’re so insistent on leaving as though you’re convinced that the Evil Wolf Army knows about this.”
“With all 500 of them dead, the only one who can leak the news is Blood Sun Valley.”
Su Zimo nodded slightly with a look of admiration in his eyes.
The woman before him was extremely smart. It was truly rare for her to be able to notice something amiss through the clues left behind.
What was even rarer was that Xia Qingying was still expressionless despite suspecting Chen Xuanyang.
If Xia Qingying were to fall out with Chen Xuanyang and Blood Sun Valley, she would definitely suffer immediately and Snow Wind Ridge would not be spared either!
However, if Xia Qingying did not expose him, Chen Xuanyang would be smug and continue with his disguise.
“Brother Su, when are you prepared to leave?”
Xia Qingying asked, “Do you want to leave with us tomorrow?”
She was worried that Blood Sun Valley or Chen Xuanyang would harm Su Zimo.
After all, Chen Xuanyang’s plan was ruined because of Su Zimo’s appearance today!
However, if Su Zimo were to travel with everyone from Snow Wind Ridge, it would be difficult for Chen Xuanyang to make a move openly.
“We’ll see,”
Su Zimo replied ambiguously.
Pausing for a moment, he continued, “I might head to Snow Wind Ridge to take someone away. I hope you can agree to it.”
“No problem,”
Xia Qingying nodded without hesitation.
Su Zimo turned to leave and waved to Xia Qingying with his back facing her.
Xia Qingying watched Su Zimo enter a room before leaving reluctantly.
Late at night.
Su Zimo did not rest. After returning to his room, he took out the storage bag of the leader.
He was extremely curious as to what was in the storage bag that could trigger a reaction from the Bronze Square Tripod!
He released his spirit consciousness and forcefully erased the spirit consciousness imprint on the storage bag before opening it.
Although there were no immortal herbs in the storage bag, there were around 10,000 Essence Condensation Pills—it was almost equivalent to the total number of elixirs carried by the rest of the Evil Wolf Army!
Su Zimo put away the Essence Condensation Pills and continued checking.
Apart from the Essence Condensation Pills, there were a few other black-grade Dharmic treasures in his storage bag. The best among them was only at middle-grade.
Su Zimo frowned slightly.
Even middle black-grade was not worthy of his attention!
Right then, Su Zimo’s gaze shifted and he exclaimed softly.
In the corner of his storage bag, he caught sight of a gray broken sword.
The broken sword was dim without any sharpness and was filled with cracks—it was like a piece of trash!
However, when Su Zimo picked up the broken sword, the Bronze Square Tripod vibrated once more!
