While Su Mo was busy killing off the five men that had come after him, Xiao Yushu was studying the power of the Rules in the Dhamma Hall.
He had not really gone there to study the Rules. He just wanted people to know he was in Palmy City.
That way, Su Mo's eventual murder had nothing to do with him.
And the people he had hired to do the job had no relation with him whatsoever.
Sitting under a statue, Xiao Yushu's eyes were shut as he studied the Rules quietly. He had been there for over a year.
Once he received news of Su Mo's death, he would leave.
Tap! Tap! Tap!
Footsteps sounded from afar. Cui Yan came to his side.
"We've failed! None of the members of the Nether Spirit Sect could be reached!" Cui Yan said sternly as he reported to Xiao Yushu.
The Nether Spirit Sect was a group dedicated to assassination and the smuggling of goods. Xiao Yushu got them to get rid of Su Mo.
