The deflated cultivator refused to give up and vowed to turn the tables.

In fact, White Sand Fortress and White Cloud Fortress harbored deep hatred for each other. Since the two fortresses had always been evenly matched in strength, with White Sand Fortress being slightly behind, they had never dared to make a move.

However, things are different now. One of the two six-star units from White Cloud Fortress is gone. Only one six-star unit remains, and it's the weaker one at that.

Although Liu Qianyu's cultivation level dropped to the late stage of the sixth star, it was enough for him to subdue Bai Yuannan.

Therefore, even if Su Zinong did not come to persuade them, Baishabao would still very likely send people to annihilate Baiyunbao.

Su Zinong's arrival restored Liu Ganyu's cultivation to the peak of the sixth star, further strengthening Baishabao's resolve.

Therefore, Baishabao immediately dispatched experts to hunt down Baiyunbao.

Among the disciples sent by Baiyunbao, there were three teams, but two teams were eliminated by Baishabao.

The remaining team dared not return to White Cloud Fortress and remained stranded there for a long time.

Baiyun Fort disappeared from the martial arts world from that time on.

Later, Liu Qianyu practiced the basic Hand Taiyin Lung Meridian technique according to Su Zinong's instructions and consumed some century-old ginseng. Sure enough, he recovered to the early stage of the Seven Stars realm. Even the thirty women from the Goddess Palace he brought with him made great progress. Everyone in Baisha Fort was overjoyed and very grateful to Su Zinong.

The news shocked the martial arts world.

No one expected that a renowned cultivation family in the south would be unable to defeat a mere rogue cultivator like Su Zinong, and instead, they were eliminated and destroyed by Su Zinong.

Even Huang Chenghe couldn't help but sigh when he heard the news. It seemed that Brother Su had suffered quite a shock because of Xiang Xue's marriage. Fortunately, he didn't act recklessly, but used his wisdom to destroy a family of cultivators.

At this time, Su Zinong was actually not far from Baiyun Fort.

Having nothing to do, I took out the booklet, "White Cloud Divine Smell Technique," to examine it. It turned out to be a booklet that taught people how to cultivate the Lung Meridian of Hand-Taiyin and train their nasal sensitivity. When practiced to a high level, one could smell all sorts of subtle odors and use them for tracking.

No wonder Bai Dingnan couldn't shake me off no matter how many times he dodged and weaved; it turns out that old guy was a big hunting dog, and he must have left his scent on the first three-star warrior to fall. This technique is indeed powerful; I'll practice it when I have some free time.

He took out another white lotus pill and began practicing the Taiyin Lung Meridian and the Divine Smell Technique.

As he practiced, the White Lotus Pill took effect, and he actually advanced a minor realm, returning to the peak of the fourth star cultivation level. Su Zinong was overjoyed, having taken another big step closer to his peak of the early fifth star level.

One day, a familiar figure appeared in the town; it was none other than Young Master Mo.

Su Zinong quietly walked over, grabbed him by the back of his collar and lifted him up like a chick, shouting, "Thief, where do you think you're going!"

Young Master Mo turned around and saw Su Zinong. He grinned and said, "Young Master Su, what a coincidence! It seems we are destined to meet. How about you treat me to a meal?"

"Are you out of your mind? You stole my valuables and I caught you, and you still dare to ask me to treat you to a meal? Don't even think about it!" Su Zinong shook his head vigorously.

***

At the restaurant, Su Zinong ordered a table full of dishes and shouted, "Eat up, eat up, stuff yourself to death!"

Young Master Mo was truly unceremonious, picking up his chopsticks and devouring the food in a whirlwind.

"As expected, stealing someone's things and still getting treated to a meal, sounds delicious!" Young Master Mo said with a grin.

"Don't be so smug. Stealing other people's things is wrong. If you had asked me properly, I would have given them to you. I'm not a stingy person," Su Zinong said, slapping the table.

"Really? So Young Master Su is a magnanimous person. Then, if I may ask, could you lend me the other red spirit stone as well?" Young Master Mo asked.

"Don't push your luck! Do you want me to give you my entire fortune and my life?" Su Zinong thought to himself, "Who exactly is this person?"

"Great! Great!" Young Master Mo said happily. "I want them all."

"You wish! Now that I've caught you, you thief, return the red spirit stone to me and be my slave for three years. You'll have to do everything: serve tea, bring water, make the bed, fold blankets, and fetch bathwater!" Su Zinong listed them off one by one.

“Ah, then I’m not your servant… oh, I’m your slave?” Young Master Mo said.

"Do as you please, whether you want to do it or not is up to you. Anyway, that red spirit stone can only be used for a year at most, and you've already used it for two months. Don't blame me when the poison takes effect after you use it up." Su Zinong's words were laced with intimidation.

"Hey, Brother Su, do you have a way to cure my cold poison?" Young Master Mo asked.

“There is definitely a way, but it’s hard to say whether it can completely cure the problem.” Su Zinong paused for a moment. “How about this, I’ll take you to Chaoxia Mountain. They have hot springs there for practicing martial arts. You can soak in them with me for two months, and it will definitely alleviate your cold poison.”

"You want me to soak in the hot spring with you?" Young Master Mo opened his mouth wide, seemingly very surprised.

"What are you afraid of? We're all old men. Not just anyone can go to that hot spring. I know the head of the sect, so I can only say I'll take you there for a month or two. Don't miss this opportunity!" Su Zinong urged.

"I...sigh...I know it's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, but I can't go with you. As for the reason, I'll tell you later!" Young Master Mo sighed slowly.

“I said it’s up to you whether you go or not. Let’s go our separate ways after this meal,” Su Zinong said.

He was being hunted by many people and didn't want to drag Young Master Mo down with him.

"Ah, are you in such a hurry to get rid of me? What if the poison takes effect later?" Young Master Mo said anxiously, grabbing Su Zinong's arm.

"You don't want to follow me for the rest of your life, do you? You're not a woman!" Su Zinong rolled his eyes.

"Let's follow along and see what happens!" Young Master Mo said with a smile.

"Whatever you say. It's extremely dangerous to follow me; I'm being hunted by many people," Su Zinong warned beforehand.

"I've heard everything. The story of how you single-handedly destroyed White Cloud Fortress has already spread throughout the martial world. Now you've become a role model for all rogue cultivators. Don't forget, I'm also a rogue cultivator." Young Master Mo looked up at him with admiration.

"So you admire me? Well then, quickly pour me a cup of tea." Su Zinong crossed his arms in front of him.

Su Zinong headed towards Tianqin Mountain, and surprisingly, Young Master Mo followed him. Su Zinong couldn't understand why Mo Gongzi didn't go to Chaoxia Mountain, but instead came to Tianqin Mountain with him.

Because going to Tianqin Mountain to cultivate doesn't guarantee an opportunity, and even getting in is difficult. However, Chaoxia Mountain is a certainty.

However, everyone has their own secrets, and Su Zinong could only remain silent when he saw that the other party was not going to talk about it.

"Are you really sure you want to come along? I'm constantly being hunted by my enemies. If they kill you too, don't go complaining to the King of Hell." Su Zinong said.

"It's alright, I don't believe you can run into enemies every day," Young Master Mo said confidently.

"You still haven't found the person who poisoned you?" Su Zinong asked.

"I can't find you. I was inexplicably poisoned, and then I inexplicably received an instruction to go against you. I have no idea who the other party is, or how to find their origin or technique. By the way, did you come with me to Qinghe Manor that day?" Young Master Mo asked.

"Yes, I see you stole my precious medicine. I'll go there later and follow the trail to see if I can find the real culprit. But I'm not as stupid as you. The medicine box you stole only contained a throat lozenge, haha..." Su Zinong laughed, "Have you ever thought about why the enemy would let you put it there, but not show themselves to take it?"

“I can’t think of it. Maybe they originally intended to leave it there to pick it up, but then they found someone squatting nearby, so they gave up. Another possibility is that they originally wanted to frame Qinghe Manor.”

The two had only walked ten miles when they discovered a row of men in white robes standing there, swords drawn, blocking their path.

"I take back what I said earlier about you not running into enemies every day," Young Master Mo said in surprise...
