Chapter 432: Untameable Ingrate

Su Ying returned to the Cloud Assembly Inn and carried Que Que, who was sleeping soundly, out of the interspatial store.
Tomorrow was the last day of the waiting period she agreed with Mo Tu. However, Su Ying was not a passive person and she would be prepared for both eventualities.
She brought the messenger eagle out of the interspatial store. When she met the assassins from the Red Demon Sect earlier, Mo Tu’s abnormal reaction had already aroused her suspicion. The messenger eagle would naturally recognize its master. In order to test Mo Tu, she released the messenger eagle from the interspatial store before he woke up. To her surprise, it found its way to Mo Tu’s side.
At this point, Su Ying was even more certain that Mo Tu’s identity was connected to the Red Demon Sect, but she did not know what role he played in the Red Demon Sect.
Later on, when Mo Qian appeared, she could roughly guess that he was probably embroiled in an internal strife within the Red Demon Sect.
Mo Tu had been defeated by the other faction in the internal strife once, so he might be defeated a second time.
That night, Su Ying accompanied Que Que for dinner and then washed up with her. Thereafter, she lay down on the bed with the girl. After the girl had fallen asleep, Su Ying put her back into her interspatial store. She then changed into her night-travel clothes and took out from her interspatial store the tracking device that she had fastened to the messenger eagle. She then tied a bamboo tube to its leg and released it to fly out of the window.
The messenger eagle flapped its wings and quickly soared into the clouds. In order to better track it, Su Ying used a flight restrictor on it to prevent it from flying too high. Otherwise, she would not be able to track it if the distance grew too far from her.
Su Ying leaped out of the window and went after the eagle using the tracking device.
At this moment, an intense bloody battle was taking place in a hidden cave outside Duo City.
Mo Tu was covered in blood as he stood in a large cave with a sword in his hand. His chilly sword was pointed at a man with slender eyes who was sitting on a tiger bench.
“Bai Cha, I trusted you and allowed you to work for me, but in the end, you joined forces with the people I trusted the most to deal me a fatal blow. However, none of you expected that I, Mo Tu, would return alive.”
The eyes of the man sitting in the top seat were filled with icy killing intent. “Mo Tu, you are just a cowardly, paranoid fool who should have died long ago. The Red Demon Sect can only flourish in my hands. Look at this one year. The Red Demon Sect’s influence has already taken root in the Chu State’s Imperial Family. This is something you might not be able to achieve unto your death!” “You self-righteous fool. From the day the Red Demon Sect was established, the rule was already set down that we absolutely must not participate in any kingdom’s imperial power struggle. You think you’re smart, but you don’t know that you’re digging your own grave. Bai Cha, meet your maker!” Mo Tu’s sword swept across and stabbed in Bai Cha’s direction.
The supporters of the two factions also stood to the side.
Bai Cha never imagined that Mo Tu could still be alive. Not only that, but he also had so many supporters hidden on his side!
The two factions had fought from night to day, and the interior of the entire cave was stained with patches of blood.
Mo Tu’s entire red robe was stained with blood, but no one could tell whether it was the red robe that was dazzling or the red blood that was glaring.
Bai Cha looked at the people who fell one after another and turned to flee. However, Mo Tu would never give him the chance to escape.
Mo Tu darted forward to stop Bai Cha. The sword in his hand carved out a silver pattern in the air as he stabbed at Bai Cha.
Bai Cha’s eyes widened abruptly as he quickly backed away. He then drew the large saber at his waist and began fighting with Mo Tu.
“Big Brother, Brother Bai Cha, stop fighting!” Mo Qian’s hands and feet were tied by Mo Tu and he was thrown into a corner of the cave. He shouted anxiously as he watched the two people fighting.
However, the two of them were in no mood to listen to Mo Qian.
The battle was in full swing. Bai Cha was no match for Mo Tu. He was swept down by Mo Tu with one palm strike and crashed heavily into the tiger bench. Bai Cha scrambled and tried to get up, but he suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood. Pfft!
Mo Tu pointed the tip of his sword at the spot between Bai Cha’s eyebrows. “Bai Cha, I’ve trusted you for so many years, but you chose a dead end instead. Go to hell!” Without any hesitation, he stabbed the sword in his hand into Bai Cha’s forehead viciously.
Bai Cha died with his eyes wide open.
The assassins who followed Bai Cha before he died panicked instantly.
Mo Tu looked at these assassins icily. “I’ve told you guys before. If you have chosen to follow me, you have to be absolutely loyal and obedient to me. You guys did not follow through on this promise. Therefore, the only path left for you is death.”
The slaughter continued. At the break of dawn, Mo Tu’s men finally captured all the traitors.
With his whole body covered in blood, Mo Tu slowly walked up to Mo Qian and squatted down as he said, “Mo Qian, my good younger brother, you have really disappointed me.” He reached out with his blood-stained hand and slowly placed it on Mo Qian’s fair and tender face which held that pair of dewy, glistening eyes. It was really a pair of beautiful eyes. Back then, it was because of this pair of eyes that Mo Tu spared his life and kept him by his side.
“You’re really such an untameable ingrate.”
Using his sword as a support, Mo Tu tried to stand up, but he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his heart.
“Ugh!”
Mo Tu groaned in pain and fell to the ground.
The bone-piercing pain made Mo Tu curl up in anguish, and the veins on his forehead and neck were almost going to burst out.
Mo Qian watched Mo Tu with that same guileless demeanor. His body moved slightly, and the ropes on his body became loose.
He blinked his dewy, glistening eyes and looked at Mo Tu innocently. “Big Brother, how are you? Are you alright?”
Mo Tu glared at him with bloodshot eyes. He was gritting his teeth so hard that they almost broke. “What… what did you do to me…” He had been extremely careful when he returned, so how could he have fallen for the other party’s scheming plot?
“Big Brother, don’t let your imagination run wild. That poisonous bug has been in your body for a long, long time.”
The pain almost made Mo Tu lose his mind. He had really raised an ingrate by his side!
Mo Qian caressed Mo Tu’s face lovingly. “Big Brother, from now on, you belong to me alone. From now on, you will stay in the Red Demon Sect and accompany me, okay?”
Mo Qian immediately carried Mo Tu up, and the innocent expression on his face gradually became sinister.
He looked at the other people icily and said, “Only I can neutralize the poison in his body. If you don’t want to see him die suddenly, you guys have to listen to me obediently from now on.”
“Let go of Sect Master!”
Mo Qian laughed wickedly. “The Red Demon Sect always had a rule. You guys have to listen to whoever holds the Red Demon Token.”
Mo Qian placed Mo Tu on the tiger bench and took out a scarlet token from his body. “The Red Demon Token is here. Everyone, listen to my orders!”
Mo Tu’s men glared at Mo Qian furiously. They were all members of the Red Demon Sect and knew the rules of the Red Demon Sect. Just like Mo Qian said, they had to listen to whoever had possession of the Red Demon Token.
Previously, they had always thought that the Red Demon Token was with Mo Tu.
As a last resort, all the assassins could only kowtow to the holder of the Red Demon Token.
“Greetings, Sect Master.”
Mo Qian looked at the people kneeling on the ground and a satisfied smile appeared on his face.
Inside Duo City, Su Ying rode her horse out the moment the city gates opened.
The night before, the messenger eagle flew out of the city not long after being released. At that point, the city gates had already closed. Su Ying could only return to the inn to wait. Once the sky turned bright, she left the city immediately..
