Big Moon Ballad

Chapter 2546 Trading
The Vermillion Bird God's eyes widened as big as copper bells, "You mean, Beihan Pavilion helped Yun Zhongjun improve his realm?"

Ji Mo was silent for a moment, "Xu Canghai doesn't have that ability yet."

Eight years ago, he and Xu Canghai committed a crime together.

After that they parted ways completely and never contacted each other again.

In the eight years since the complete break, Xu Canghai has used the realm-breaking pill to expand the power of Beihan Pavilion. Beihan Pavilion has completely become a monolithic entity, and even the Ji family's intelligence network has no way of finding out.

"Xu Canghai should have obtained part of Baoyue's soul and the method of making the realm-breaking pill through some means."

Ji Mo stared at the soul lamp on the table quietly, "He didn't resist the temptation and accepted this power."

In the end, his wife and daughter were devoured by this power, and Xu Canghai chose to use all his life's skills to put an end to it all.

Xu Canghai knew very well that for the people who were controlling him behind the scenes, only when he became completely disabled would the power behind him let him and his family go.

"There is no good ending to a deal with the devil," Ji Mo said quietly, "People shouldn't covet power that they can't control."

"So Baoyue's death has nothing to do with Master Xu?" Zhuque replied with a frown.

"There is no evidence to prove that he doesn't have it, and there is no evidence to prove that he does," Ji Mo said indifferently, "At least I don't think he has that ability."

Whether it was to cut the soul from Lin Baoyue or to participate in the murder, Xu Canghai did not have the ability.

"If he really had that ability, he wouldn't have ended up like this."

Although he looked down on this old rival, Xu Canghai himself was not that evil.

"The realm-breaking pill is an evil way," Suzaku tapped Ji Mo's shoulder with his wing.

Ji Mo looked out the window, "He was probably taken advantage of by someone."

After Lin Shubai's death, Xu Canghai became madly eager for power.

Someone took advantage of that opportunity and led him astray.

Suzaku God was surprised, "I didn't expect you to be so considerate of him."

"Why would you take advantage of a useless person's misfortune?" Ji Mo snorted.

"So Xu Canghai was manipulated by someone?"

The Suzaku God frowned, "The person who controls him is the same person who controls General Jin?"

"It should be the same force," Ji Mo's eyes were heavy, "Ying Baoyue still has the last quarter of his soul lost outside, it should also be in that person's hands."

"So the person you've been waiting for is that person?"

Suzaku God scratched his head, "Then why don't you ask Xu Canghai?"

Ji Mo could sense clues even from thousands of miles away. Xu Canghai had come into contact with the force behind the scenes. With his strength, he could probably guess the other party's identity even if he had never met the other party face to face.

"He won't tell."

Ji Mo said calmly, "Unless he wants his wife and children to die."

Xu Canghai no longer had the ability to protect himself. For the safety of his wife and daughter, he would never speak in his life.

This is why the mastermind behind the scenes can manipulate him with confidence and boldness, never worrying that he will reveal his identity.

"Shu Bai once said something," Ji Mo suddenly said, "The easiest people to manipulate in this world are never desperate people with no bottom line."

"He is a passionate person with a bottom line and a reverse scale."

Why did he suddenly think of this sentence at this time?
It had been a long time since Suzaku God heard Ji Mo mention Lin Shubai's name, and he was startled, "What you said... makes sense."

"But in this case, doesn't General Jin not meet this standard?"

The Jin family was wiped out, and Jin Yun was alone at the time, truly free of all worries.

"Who says he doesn't qualify?"

Ji Mo glanced at Him and spoke word by word, "Mu. Rong. Yin."

The Suzaku God felt a chill on his back, and his feathers stood on end.

"Wait, didn't the mastermind contact you?"

Suzaku God suddenly thought, since the mastermind has the ability to control the two sons of God, why not consider controlling Ji Mo? Ji Mo seems to be more suitable to be a cold-faced thug than Xu Canghai.

“Because I don’t meet that standard.”

Ji Mo chuckled, "I have no bottom line, no reverse scale."

He stood up and closed the Jin family tree in his hand.

"I am a heartless and ungrateful person who doesn't even care about the life or death of my own son."

……

……

Late night in the desert.

Ying Baoyue and his group sat in the carriage, looking at the sand city standing in the distance under the moonlight.

It hasn't been long since I left here, but I already feel like everything has changed.

The transaction time agreed with Yun Zhongjun was at midnight, and they arrived an hour in advance.

As for the specific location, Ying Baoyue decided on a small hill outside the city.

"Why outside the city?"

Li Ji asked, "The crypt of the Zen temple may move under this land at any time."

"There are still civilians in the city," Ying Baoyue said, "If a fight breaks out, innocent people will be affected."

"Then why did you choose this place?"

Didn't Ying Baoyue go to great lengths to fight with Yun Zhongjun for the initiative to decide the location, just to choose a territory of their own? What advantage would they have if they chose to stay outside the city?
"At least Yun Zhongjun can't set up a large-scale trap here in advance," Ying Baoyue looked at the city wall not far away, "We still have reinforcements."

Baili Ce Ling and Du Ziqing have already entered the Sand City. The earliest batch of slave soldiers who rioted in Suiye City are also in the Sand City.

According to Baili Celing, there was another person she could not imagine who was also in Sand City.

After listening to Ying Baoyue's explanation, Li Ji frowned and said nothing more.

"So, are we going to wait here now?"

Ying Baoyue nodded, and a timid voice came from beside him, "How will Yun Zhongjun and the others get here?"

Ying Baoyue looked around and saw Mu Rongyin sitting next to her wearing a veil, her eyes full of anxiety.

"He should come here on horseback," Ying Baoyue said, "Are you scared?"

Mu Rongyin shook her head.

Gui Chen, who was sitting next to her, was more frightened than her. He looked pale and held his mother's wrist tightly.

"mother……"

"Chen'er, if I don't come back," Mu Rongyin's eyes were full of guilt, "I'll leave your sister to you."

Gui Chen's face became even uglier, he clenched his teeth tightly, and it seemed like he was going to faint in the next moment.

Li Ji glanced sideways at the mother and son, a complex emotion flashing across his dark eyes.

"What are you thinking?"

Li Ji said calmly, "I was just wondering why a mother could abandon her child, and why a child would not stop his mother from committing suicide."

"you……"

Ying Baoyue frowned when he heard this, but thinking that the Azure Dragon God must have remembered Li Ji's experience of losing his mother in childhood, he didn't know what to say.

Gui Chen and his mother were stunned when they heard this. Mu Rongyin moved her lips as if to say something, but Gui Chen patted the back of her hand.

"Of course I don't want my mother to go either, but..."

Gui Chen took a deep breath, his eyes firm, "When I left with my sister to follow Bao Yue, mother didn't stop us. So now, we won't stop her either."

Li Ji's dark eyes froze and he was about to speak, but Ying Baoyue suddenly became nervous and gripped the hilt of the sword at his waist.

"They're coming!"
