Sister-in-law: I’m really not a fool anymore

Blood trickled from the corner of Mingyue Pavilion Master's mouth as he held his battle sword, barely managing to support himself.

Beside Su Mu were more than a dozen other powerful individuals, all of whom were the core members of the Bright Moon Pavilion. They fought alongside Su Mu in a bloody battle and eventually retreated to the core base building!
"Yu Bo, I never expected this! I took you in back then and raised you like my own son, making you the Grand Elder of Mingyue Pavilion, and this is how you repay me?"

Su Mu uttered a rebuke, then began coughing again, his body staggering violently!

Just now, when the swords were clashing, Su Mu was ambushed by Yu Bo and stabbed in the waist. His body had already reached its limit.

Even if Yu Bo had rebellious intentions, it would have been unlikely that he could have achieved such an overwhelming victory so easily.

However, Su Mu trusted Yu Bo too much and was misled by him, sending out his three most elite direct subordinate teams to patrol several mining areas.

As a result, only one small squad remained to protect Su Mu!

Meanwhile, Yu Bo colluded with external forces. On one hand, he plotted against Su Chan, causing her to be attacked by a demonic beast and then captured by the people from the Kyushu Auction House! On the other hand, Yu Bo directly led his core group of loyal followers to blockade the Mingyue Pavilion headquarters and launched an attack before Su Mu could react.

That's why we ended up with this result!

"Hmph! Su Mu, stop pretending! You raised me like your own son, do you even believe that yourself?"

Yu Bo sneered, "The only reason you've trained me is because I have some talent and value! Aren't you always protecting your daughter? Don't think I don't know that you'll eventually pass on the Bright Moon Pavilion's core refining technology to your daughter!"

"But now that your daughter is gone forever, you'd better pass on this technique to me! I promise I'll make Mingyue Pavilion flourish!"

Crystal coins serve as the hard currency of the entire Immortal Realm, acting as both the standard for purchases and the only alternative to prayer beads, an essential item for cultivation.

Although the cost of prayer beads is high... for those wealthy people, even if they can't obtain enough prayer beads, they can still continue cultivating as long as they can get crystal coins.

Although crystal mines are found throughout the entire Immortal Realm, only a handful of entities in the entire Immortal Realm control the core technology of refining crystals!

The reason why Mingyue Pavilion has survived for thousands of years and even the chaos of war is because it has core technology that can stably refine crystal ore...

This technology is too tempting for those superpowers!

"You're dreaming! I'd rather die than give you this technology!"

Su Mu looked at the other masked men in black robes beside Yu Bo and sneered, "These guys must be from the Soul Palace, right? Yu Bo... The Soul Palace, as agents of evil, is despised throughout the entire Immortal Realm. You actually colluded with them. Do you think you'll have a good ending?"

Su Mu only needed to sense it slightly to know the origins of the black-robed men around Yu Bo!
They exuded an aura unique to the Soul Palace!
After being suppressed by many sects, the Soul Palace has always been thinking about reviving.

Besides the Immortal Realm, the Soul Palace has also established a presence in the other three thousand worlds and the mortal world.

Unfortunately, the Soul Palace's vast scheme in the mortal world was ultimately overturned by Ye Fan, and even the Soul Palace's treasury fell into Ye Fan's hands!
The Soul Palace has suffered a major blow this time. In order to make a comeback, it has actually set its sights on the Bright Moon Pavilion?
Having understood the origins of these people, Su Mu also understood why Yu Bo was able to gather so many experts and powerful figures in such a short time.

On one hand, Yu Bo must have used some of the Soul Palace's techniques to control some of the powerful figures within the Bright Moon Pavilion! On the other hand, the Soul Palace must have directly sent powerful figures to provide support.

Having been recognized, the leader of the Soul Hall no longer bothered to pretend and simply ripped off his mask! "Sect Leader Su, how have you been? We meet again..."

"It's you?"

Upon seeing the Soul Hall expert behind the mask, Su Mu was greatly shocked!

This is Chen Feng, the newly promoted elder of the Soul Hall, who is said to be a direct subordinate of Qiu Qianren, the new deputy hall master of the Soul Hall!

Previously, after Chen Feng took office, he contacted Su Mu to discuss cooperation with Mingyue Pavilion!

The Soul Palace will invest, and the Bright Moon Pavilion will provide the technology to jointly establish a crystal refining factory!
To put it bluntly, the Soul Palace just wants to share its technology with the Bright Moon Pavilion!
But Su Mu refused on the spot after learning that it was the Soul Palace.

Unexpectedly, these scumbags from the Soul Palace, unable to act openly, have resorted to underhanded tactics!
"Yes! Pavilion Master Su, I'll be frank now! I can give you one last chance. We don't want to wipe you out! We just want to learn from Bright Moon Pavilion!"

"As long as Pavilion Master Su agrees to jointly build the factory, we can cooperate properly according to the terms! I can immediately offer up Yu Bo's head... to help Mingyue Pavilion clean house!"

A wicked smile appeared on Chen Feng's lips as he spoke with a straight face!
These words shocked Yu Bo, who was standing beside him. "Elder Chen, what do you mean by this?"

"It means exactly what it says! Yu Bo, you're nothing but a dog of Mingyue Pavilion, and a dog that bites its master at that... If Patriarch Su is willing to cooperate, would I need you?"

Chen Feng's words were full of contempt!

Although they were members of the Soul Hall, they also disliked this two-faced guy.

"Ah!" Yu Bo's chest heaved violently, but when he turned around, he saw that more than half of the powerful people who had rushed to the base building with him were actually people sent by the Soul Hall or people who had been arranged in place!
Although Yu Bo was ostensibly the leader of this group, in reality, when a real battle was about to break out, Yu Bo discovered that he was unable to command most of them!
This……

Yu Bo broke out in a cold sweat!
Only then did Yu Bo finally understand.

All these actions appear to be in my leadership, but in reality, I am nothing more than a puppet pushed to the front!
In other words, if you succeed and ultimately win, you might get a share of the benefits!
But if they fail, then without a doubt, they will become the perfect scapegoat!

Those guys from the Soul Palace are really ruthless!

A fierce glint flashed in Yu Bo's eyes, and a sense of regret welled up in his heart!
If I had known this earlier, why would I have cooperated with the Soul Palace?

If you do a good job as the Grand Elder of Mingyue Pavilion, and don't rely on the big tree of Mingyue Pavilion, when you go out to negotiate with others, others will treat you with respect and courtesy!
But now, what will become of me in the future?
Everything is still uncertain!
"So, Pavilion Master Su, how about you consider it? How about we cooperate? It's a win-win situation!"

Chen Feng was still trying his best to persuade Su Mu!

Looking at the situation before him, and recalling what he knew before, Su Mu realized that his daughter had been taken away by Yu Bo's men and was likely in grave danger.
Su Mu felt utterly hopeless for a moment...

Since that's the case, let's take out Yu Bo first, then the road to the underworld won't be so lonely!
"Alright! Elder Chen, then let me see your sincerity first... Kill Yu Bo, and we can talk..." (End of Chapter)
