Creation Color Master

Night fell quietly, and in the hazy night, Chu Mo watched the old man leave.

According to the old man's advice, if you hear any noise outside, just stay indoors and pretend to be asleep, and you will be safe.

Chu Mo asked a few questions out of curiosity, but didn't get any useful information.

It’s not that the old man didn’t want to say it, but since someone was killed, everyone in the village was shocked, and they didn’t know any of the questions Chu Mo asked.

The old man’s words made Chu Mo curious. Why would there be soldiers in such a remote place?

Chu Mo, who couldn't figure it out, decided to investigate tonight.

"Where are the six sword slaves?"

“Swish—swish—swish—”

A shadow flashed by, and soon six men in black all stood respectfully in front of Chu Mo, obeying his orders.

"You will hide at the entrance of the village tonight and see if there are any unusual movements during the night."

"If there is any unusual movement, send two people to follow them secretly and find out who the other party is and what they are doing."

Zhen Gang bowed respectfully and said, "Don't worry, my lord. I understand."

Then, the six people blended into the darkness again, as if they had never appeared.

After arranging everything, Chu Mo picked up the unfinished leather puppet again and looked carefully. This time, Chu Mo had refined a white bird killer.

Bai Feng sent a letter a few days ago, saying that the Blood Killing Sect would like to recruit people again in a while, and asked Chu Mo to make preparations early.

It has been half a year since Bai Feng and Mo Ya joined the Blood Killing Sect. With their hard work and the help of Chu Mo, their cultivation has reached the second level of Soul Condensation.

Not only that, ever since Bai Feng and Mo Ya gained the trust of the Blood Killing Sect and were promoted by the organization, they have been continuously arranging white bird killers into the Blood Killing Sect, and now there are about a hundred of them.

Chu Mo now likes this more and more, hiding behind the scenes, using the outstanding people of China as intermediaries, and planning the world.

This time when I return to Yong'an Town, Haozhou, I will be able to break through the third level of cultivation soon.

Now, he has already comprehended the seed of the Dao, and has also found a spiritual treasure of the Dao that is very compatible with his own seed of the Dao. The only thing is that he is still a little short of his cultivation. However, Chu Mo believes that he will be able to make up for it soon.

Once he enters the third realm and opens up the Purple Mansion, Chu Mo has a premonition that he will usher in a greater improvement. At that time, he will have more room for manipulation and more capital to plan his world.

And along the way, Chu Mo also discovered clues of the secret existence of the dynasty.

In today's Xiayang Dynasty, the wealthy and powerful families secretly control the lives of the people;

Several princes were alienated from the emperor and had long harbored rebellious intentions;

Various forces in the arena have sprung up like mushrooms after rain, and have gradually emerged, such as the Divine Punishment Organization, which is dangerous, mysterious, and full of masters;

In the imperial palace, the crown prince has not yet been appointed. The various princes are fighting openly and secretly, but they are secretly accumulating strength in preparation for fighting for the throne.

Whether in the eastern or southern regions, people's lives have become increasingly difficult along the way. Various signs indicate that the dynasty is not stable now. Perhaps it only takes a fuse to ignite the big tree of Xiayang, and then war will break out.

Chu Mo shook his head, cleared all the thoughts in his head, and continued to work on refining the leather puppet.

Late at night, Chu Mo sat on a bench made of wooden boards, staring into the darkness.

Just in case, Chu Mo did not turn on the lights. The whole room was dark, with only a ray of moonlight coming through the window.

Everything was quiet all around, not even the chirping of insects could be heard, and one's five senses were gradually amplified.

Yang Jiye and Sarliang stood on both sides, one on the left and one on the right, like two sculptures, motionless.

Yao Guangxiao's bright eyes sparkled in the darkness, and it seemed as if countless rays of wisdom flashed through his eyes.

In the darkness, time passes quietly by every second.

At this moment, a strange sound suddenly came from the outside world. It was extremely slight, but Yang Jiye and Sarliang opened their eyes at the same time. As military generals, they were very familiar with this kind of sound during marching and fighting.

The two were very sure that this was caused by the rapid march.

At this moment, Yang Jiye was seen supporting himself with one hand, half lying on the ground, feeling the vibration of the ground while listening to something with his ears tilted.

After just a moment, Yang Jiye stood up and said in a deep voice: "My lord, everyone, if I heard correctly, there are about a hundred people in the marching team, and they are moving very fast. Moreover, it seems that each of them has extraordinary cultivation. It seems that they are marching like a thousand troops."

"I'm afraid this is a powerful army. And their horseshoes seem to have shock-absorbing things wrapped around them, as if they are trying their best to cover up the sound of the horses' hooves."

Sarliang also agreed with Yang Jiye's analysis. Chu Mo nodded, but found that Yao Guangxiao on the side was lost in thought, with his expression frozen in place.

So, he asked curiously, "Daoyan, did you hear what Jiye said just now? What do you think?"

Yao Guangxiao was interrupted from his contemplation by Chu Mo. He just stood up and bowed slightly, saying, "My lord, I am wondering where is the place that is so flat that the soldiers can run without any worries."

"And when I arrived here, I observed that the surrounding areas were either mountainous or densely wooded. There was no suitable place for the troops to march forward. If there was no road to march on, then how did the sound of horse hooves come from?"

Faced with Yao Guangxiao's question, Chu Mo didn't know how to answer.

Yang Jiye, on the other hand, murmured, "Impossible. There must be a road that can allow the troops to move forward. If this army really appeared out of thin air, wouldn't it be the legendary Yin soldiers passing through the border?"

"I guess there must be a way. Maybe the road has been deliberately hidden. Besides, we haven't searched seriously yet, so how can we know if there is a way?"

"Although I don't understand the strategy, the village chief said when he came here before that the sound of horse hooves was heard for the first time late at night and the second time near dawn. In other words, these soldiers were just passing by here, leaving late at night and returning in the early morning."

Yao Guangxiao stood up and said softly, "My Lord, Jiye is right. Maybe I only saw the surface and didn't see the essence of the matter. Let's investigate. Maybe we will find something."

Chu Mo nodded upon hearing this and said in a deep voice: "I have sent six sword slaves to follow this group of soldiers and horses to find out their identities. Now Jiye and Daoyan will go and find out if there is a road suitable for the soldiers to march."

"Da-da-da-da-"

The dull horse-drawn ground was getting closer and closer, especially when passing by the village entrance. Even with shock-absorbing measures, the vibration of the horses stepping on the ground was still clearly felt.

Just as they passed by the village entrance, Chu Mo even saw from the window that the leader stayed at the entrance for a moment, and then rode his horse to chase after the team after they went far away.

The people in the room listened to the sound of horse hooves gradually fading away, and only then did they dare to breathe freely, for fear of alerting the enemy and making the team vigilant.

The other party stopped at the entrance of the village just now, which made Chu Mo frown and think, wondering if the other party had noticed something. Otherwise, why would he deliberately stop at the entrance of the village for a moment.
