Chapter 603: Chapter 268 Rumors_3

“Let’s just wait and see; if he insisted on following this ti, he probably had so intentions in mind.”

Su Mo glanced at the food on the table, suddenly finding himself without an appetite.

Since their return, Zhen Xiaoxiao, having handed over that strange iron, could be heard snoring thunderously.

Despite the separation of a wall, the sound was unmistakably clear.

Yang Xiaoyun tidied up the things on the table:

“I’m going to rest now.”

“Wait a minute…”

Su Mo hastily called out, “Why don’t you rest here tonight, Sister Xiao Yun?”

Yang Xiaoyun’s face flushed red at the suggestion, but Su Mo had a reason:

“Xiao Xiao’s snoring is so loud, you’ll definitely have trouble sleeping.”

“No problem.”

Yang Xiaoyun imdiately shook her head, “As folk of Jianghu, sotis even in ruined temples or the wild, we can rest. When I was on escort missions in the past, didn’t every escort master under snore like thunder? Taking shelter in dilapidated temples, their snores could nearly wake Buddha himself.”

“…”

Su Mo found himself at a loss for words, his eyes darting around for another excuse:

“But soone just died in this room, I’m scared.”

“Pfft!”

This ti, Yang Xiaoyun genuinely couldn’t hold back and gave Su Mo a stern look before picking up her things and leaving.

Su Mo quickly grabbed her, “I’m really scared!”

“Then wait for to put these snacks back, and I’ll… co back afterward.”

Yang Xiaoyun gave Su Mo another look before stealthily opening the door and leaving.

Monts later, she stealthily returned…

Thus, the night ca to an end in this way.

Last night, neither Su Mo nor Yang Xiaoyun had slept well.

Of course, it wasn’t for any strange reason; sharing a room wasn’t sothing new starting today.

When away from ho, soone always has to keep watch.

Last night, Su Mo slept first while Yang Xiaoyun took the first half of the night, then Su Mo took over for the second half, sleeping soundly until now.

Waking up, they saw the dawn in the east.

Su Mo and Yang Xiaoyun tidied up a bit and were about to leave when soone knocked on the door.

Opening it, they found Hu Sandao.

Seeing Yang Xiaoyun open the door didn’t surprise Hu Sandao, who simply greeted with a fist and palm salute:

“Vice Leader.”

“Why the rush so early in the morning?”

Yang Xiaoyun raised her eyebrows slightly.

“There’s been an incident.”

Hu Sandao spoke in a low voice.

“Co in and talk.”

Su Mo’s voice ca from inside.

Yang Xiaoyun promptly made way for Hu Sandao to enter.

Hu Sandao was straightforward:

“Last night, a ssage suddenly stirred up a storm across the city; the foundation of our escort mission this ti has been leaked.”

“Oh?”

Su Mo raised his eyebrows slightly, “What exactly happened?”

“I’m not clear on the details, but this morning everyone’s discussing it, talking about Xinghai Relic Sand Iron.

“They’re saying it’s the item our Ziyang Escort Agency is escorting, personally overseen by Lord Su.”

“Xinghai Relic Sand Iron?”

Su Mo and Yang Xiaoyun exchanged a glance, with Yang Xiaoyun inquiring:

“This is certainly unheard of; did the rumors ntion what this material is for?”

“Mhm…”

Hu Sandao nodded, “They say it’s one of the best materials for forging weapons, and so claim that one of the Ten Great Swords of the World, nad Heavenly Slaughter, was made from it.”

“Heavenly Slaughter?”

Yang Xiaoyun was taken aback upon hearing this; how did this get tangled up with the Ten Great Swords?

Moreover, details about these Ten Great Swords were known to very few.

The first ti she and Su Mo heard of these swords was from Wei Ziyi’s mouth.

But even an experienced disciple like Wei Ziyi from Lengyue Palace knew only of one of those swords… Longing!

Now, within the territory of the Phoenix Alliance, it was surprising soone was so knowledgeable.

But as astonishing as this was, it wasn’t bizarre.

After all, Jianghu was full of hidden experts; to think oneself uniquely enlightened and unmatched in the world was to underestimate the multitude.

Yang Xiaoyun exchanged an unwitting glance with Su Mo before letting Hu Sandao continue.

But what Hu Sandao revealed next left Su Mo and Yang Xiaoyun sowhat shocked.

Last night, the news of what they were supposedly escorting, the Xinghai Relic Sand Iron, had already spread throughout Jinyang City.

And given the current situation, it looked set to spread even further.

Regarding the na Xinghai Relic Sand Iron, it ca from the mouths of two individuals.

One called himself the Wind and Dust Wanderer with a mysterious background.

The other was a renowned smith from Southwest, Huo Liao Yuan!

Huo Liao Yuan, known as Master Liao Yuan, was reputed to be a descendant of Dongcheng’s renowned smith of many years past, Huo Lanshan.

That Sword Obsession from the Youquan Sect’s Three Flag Order residing in Tianqu City once claid that his Seven Stars Sword was forged by Huo Lanshan.

Words like the Seven Stars Sword were just wild claims.

But Huo Lanshan’s existence was legitimate.

It was said that Huo Liao Yuan was his living successor.

Whether this was true or not remained unknown.

With Huo Lanshan long dead and no family records to inherit, there was no way to verify.

But Huo Liao Yuan indeed possessed superb smithing skills.

Fad for years, divine weapons he forged were coveted by many, and he held considerable status in Southwest.

The reason they exposed this was that they had once encountered Ji Shuhua by chance.

Although Ji Shuhua was well-connected worldwide, these two were old veterans who didn’t recognize each other.

The Wind and Dust Wanderer and Master Liao Yuan, in their exchanges, inevitably talked about materials for smithing.

When the topic arose, Huo Liao Yuan naturally spoke at length.

Ji Shuhua, having indulged in drinks, heard Master Liao Yuan’s bombastic claims and couldn’t resist arguing with him while under the influence.

Initially, Master Liao Yuan didn’t want to stoop to Ji Shuhua’s level and sought to keep the peace.

But Ji Shuhua grew increasingly pushy, accusing Master Liao Yuan of being shortsighted, only good on paper, and never having seen truly high-quality material.

Sohow impulsively, Ji Shuhua opened his case.

He had intended to make a mockery of the two old n, but to his surprise, they recognized the Xinghai Relic Sand Iron right away!
