Burning the Bridge After Crossing the River-Withered Void Mountain

"Cut the nonsense. I want to know everything about Mo Yunzi, including how he contacted you and how you handed over the Storage Pouches!"

Before Dili Qianli, Qi Tianmen was cold and forceful, leaving no room for refusal.

This was how aristocratic clans normally treated outsiders—their manner of communication was always a commanding tone from above.

Haili'er was burning with rage, but her master seemed to think nothing of it. He answered respectfully, "Mo Yunzi acts cautiously. He has always traveled using Heavy Talismans, and our scouts cannot keep up with him."

"However, there was one detail he failed to notice, exposing his trail."

Hmm?

Qi Tianmen smiled. Had he not come personally to force the answer out, Thousand Faces Hall would likely have kept this clue hidden away, treating it as a rare commodity to be sold at a high price.

These Sea Martial Artists truly harbored ulterior motives. Then again, those who had turned their backs on the land and exiled themselves overseas—what backbone could they possibly have?

"Speak!"

"Though he changed his appearance, the outward traits brought about by his daily habits could not be concealed. According to one person in the hall, he spent a long period in a sealed space within the mountains, rarely seeing sunlight."

"So I suspect that, in order to conceal his identity, Mo Yunzi has most likely disguised himself as an ordinary Great Confucian Scholar and hidden within certain sects to compile scriptures. That is why no one in the outside world has been able to find him."

As expected of the vanguard scouts among the Sea Martial Artists, this analysis was perfectly reasonable and happened to align with the clues Zhou You had deliberately leaked.

That was right. Zhou You had decided to expose the location of Withered Void Mountain
