Chapter 435: You Still Can’t Bear To Get Rid Of Him

“The Empress of the Chu State.” Su Ying no longer avoided his question.

Mo Tu got a big shock. “What? You say you are the Empress of the Chu State?”

“That’s right.”

Mo Tu stared at her, trying to find a hint on her face that indicated she was joking, but there was none!

After spending more than a month with her, Mo Tu had a rough understanding of Su Ying’s personality. He knew that she didn’t like to lie. If she encountered something she didn’t want to talk about, she would just shut her mouth and not talk about it, so there was a high possibility that what she said was true!

“If I remember correctly, the Empress of the Chu State is at least around forty years old now. You don’t resemble a forty-year-old, Heroine Su.”

Su Ying chuckled softly and replied, “That’s because you don’t know that the current ruler of the Chu State has changed.”

Mo Tu genuinely did not know this. However, this matter would be known once he investigated. There was no way Su Ying could lie to him.

Mo Tu only felt a tightness in his chest, a tightness so overwhelming that it was making him panic. At this moment, there was only one thought in his mind. Su Ying was already married!

Looking at her now, there was no way she resembled a married woman!

She had even seen his naked torso!

Su Ying turned around and walked up to Mo Qian. His whole body had only gone stiff from the electric shock, but he was still conscious.

“You accepted the job of a.s.sa.s.sinating me.”

Mo Qian wanted to get up, but his limbs were so sore and weak that he couldn’t muster any strength. He said weakly, “I don’t know anything. After Big Brother left, everything was carried out by Bai Cha.”

“Then why is the Red Demon Token in your hands?”

Mo Qian’s eyes widened as he gritted his teeth.

Su Ying pulled out the dagger at her waist and stabbed it mercilessly into Mo Qian.

However, just as the dagger was about to stab him, a hand stopped the action.

Su Ying raised her eyes and met Mo Tu’s gaze.

“The Red Demon Sect will submit to you, but you have to hand him over to me and let me deal with him.”

Su Ying didn’t withdraw her hand. Instead, she asked in bafflement, “He has already harmed you once, yet you still can’t bear to see him die.”

Mo Tu’s eyes were dark and unfathomable. “Sect Master, please agree to my request. I guarantee that he won’t be able to affect the Red Demon Sect in any way.”

Su Ying’s eyes turned chilly. She flipped the dagger in her hand and cleanly sliced through the tendons in Mo Qian’s hands and feet. “Alright. I’ll grant you this favor.”

Mo Tu knelt down in front of Su Ying, indicating his allegiance to her. “Thank you, Your Imperial Highness.”

When night fell, Mo Tu issued an edict to the important leaders of the Red Demon Sect and summoned them back.

Before those people returned, Mo Tu showed Su Ying around the place so that she could understand the situation in the entire Red Demon Sect. However, what he knew was all from a year ago. Mo Tu himself didn’t know the latest situation.

Mo Tu summoned his trusted aide and instructed him to update Su Ying.

From the mouth of his trusted aide, Su Ying learned that the Red Demon Sect’s power was mostly concentrated in the martial arts world in the various kingdoms a year ago. However, Bai Cha and Mo Qian rebelled a year ago. During Mo Tu’s absence, they boldly infiltrated the circles of the n.o.bles of various kingdoms to plant their influence. However, the roots were not too deep. After all, the people of the aristocratic families and the Imperial Family were not fools. They only used the Red Demon Sect’s service a lot. There were many secrets that they would not let the sect members know.

In order to gain the other party’s trust, Bai Cha simply worked hard for them at first. He was planning to let the sect’s influence take root slowly after gaining the other party’s trust. However, before he could reach this stage, Mo Tu returned.

Su Ying looked at the missions that the various kingdoms had entrusted to the Red Demon Sect over the past year. Originally, these missives were supposed to be destroyed as soon as possible, but before the sect had gained the other party’s complete trust, Bai Cha and his faction kept a backup plan for themselves and retained these missives.

“These Imperial Family members and n.o.bles only treat the Red Demon Sect as a saber to kill. When they realize that this saber is getting sharper and sharper and might possibly hurt them, they will burn it to ashes.”

This was also the reason Mo Tu was unwilling to let the Red Demon Sect get embroiled in the power struggle within the ranks of the n.o.bles. From the missive sent by Emperor Kangze to Bai Cha, it could be seen that he already had the intention of taking the Red Demon Sect under his control. However, before he could actually make a move, Xiao Jin returned.

Mo Tu could never have imagined that the Red Demon Sect would ultimately end up in the hands of the Empress of the Chu State.

The sky had turned bright.

Rays of golden light shone into the cave through the cracks in the stone, illuminating the top of the tiger bench.

At this moment, Su Ying, who was wearing a mask, was sitting on the tiger bench. She wasn’t afraid that these people would see her true appearance, but her ident.i.ty was special after all. If this matter were to spread, it wouldn’t be good for her or Xiao Jin ultimately.

The group of a.s.sa.s.sins looked at Su Ying, who was sitting on the tiger bench, and Mo Tu, who was standing beside her like a minion, with extremely puzzled expressions.

Previously, when Bai Cha rebelled, he told them that Mo Tu was killed and therefore he took over the Red Demon Sect. Bai Cha had the Red Demon Token, so they believed him.

Yet, why was Mo Tu standing in front of them alive and well now?

Mo Tu could only tell them about Bai Cha and Mo Qian’s betrayal. “They were the ones who almost killed me, but fortunately, I was lucky enough to come back. Now that the traitors have been eliminated, the reputation of the Red Demon Sect can be restored.”

A sect could change sect leaders in the blink of an eye. These people made their living in the martial arts world and were already used to this, so they quickly accepted the current situation.

“Sect Master, you are in such a hurry to summon us subordinates back. May we know what important mission you want to issue?”

“No. I want you guys to come back and acknowledge the new Sect Master.”

Everyone turned their attention to Su Ying once again. They didn’t understand at all. Why did Mo Tu give the position of the sect master to someone else when he was still alive?

“Sect Master, what’s on earth is going on?”

Mo Tu explained, “I was deceived by others and almost harmed the Red Demon Sect. I can no longer shoulder the heavy responsibility of the sect master anymore, so I abdicated the sect master’s position to Sect Master Su.”

Everyone stared at Mo Tu, their eyes seemingly implying, “Sect Master, if you are being threatened, just blink!”

However, Mo Tu didn’t even blink once.

Su Ying took out the Red Demon Token. “The Red Demon Token is here. Everyone, listen to me.”

When those people saw the Red Demon Token in Su Ying’s hand, they all knelt down. “Greetings, Sect Master.”

“From today onward, the Red Demon Sect must let me and Mo Tu have a look at every job the sect receives. If anyone is found to be taking on jobs privately, they will be killed without mercy!”

Previously, when Mo Tu was in charge of the Red Demon Sect, no one was allowed to take on private jobs either. This order was more readily accepted by everyone.

“In addition, the Red Demon Sect is not allowed to partic.i.p.ate in the disputes between the various kingdoms. In particular, jobs involving a.s.sa.s.sinations of n.o.ble family members must not be accepted.”

If they were not allowed to accept jobs from the n.o.bles, wouldn’t they earn a lot less money? After all, the n.o.bles were very generous with their payment.

“This is an order.”

Although they were not pleased, the various members were compelled to follow the order by the authority of the Red Demon Token.

“When I’m not around, all of you have to listen to Mo Tu’s orders.”

Su Ying stood up as she spoke and strode to the back of those people.

Just as those people were wondering what was going on, they saw Su Ying take out a strange object and press it down on the back of their necks. Some of them reacted and tried to avoid it, but Su Ying pulled them back straightaway and injected them too.

“Ugh!”

Everyone gave a m.u.f.fled grunt and reached out to touch their necks in surprise, but they could not feel anything.

“Sect Master, what are you doing?”
