Chapter 372

The feeling that had been full of pent-up grievance.

Instantly felt as if a great weight had been lifted.

Deep within his pupils.

The gaze named ambition grew several shades heavier once more.

A good while passed.

Only then did Xiong Ba come back to his senses.

He gathered his thoughts.

Without further hesitation.

He hurried off to the secret chamber.

Great Tang, an unnamed inn.

"Wuming, do you think that Qinglong Society might possibly be the source of the Thousand-Year Calamity?"

He withdrew his gaze from the Heavenly Dao Golden List.

Xiao Sanxiao straightened his expression and asked with a solemn face.

"This... why does Senior say so?"

Wuming was slightly taken aback.

Then asked back, somewhat puzzled.

In his eyes there were still faint traces of confusion and incomprehension.

Beside him.

Although Jian Chen's face was full of curiosity.

The whole person was like an obedient child, not daring to interject even half a sentence.

Waiting obediently for what would come next.

Afraid that one careless move on his part would displease the big shot before him.

"There are three reasons."

"First, with the Qinglong Society's power being so enormous, why has it remained hidden all these years?"

"It was only in recent days, exposed by the Heavenly Dao Golden List, that it gradually surfaced."

"Before that, not a single scrap of information ever leaked out — it's hard not to suspect that there might be some earth-shattering conspiracy behind it!"

"Second, the Qinglong Society has many experts, and acts recklessly, overbearingly, cold-bloodedly and ruthlessly — no matter how you look at it, they don't seem like people of the righteous path!"

"Third, the Qinglong Society has quietly taken control of the Five Great Imperial Dynasties — clearly it is after no small ambition."

"Combining these three points, I cannot help but suspect the connection between the Thousand-Year Calamity and the Qinglong Society!"

He was silent for two seconds.

Xiao Sanxiao organized his words.

Slowly analyzing his own conjecture.

With every sentence spoken.

The expression on his face grew one degree more solemn.

When the last sentence was finished.

The surrounding atmosphere had long since been replaced by solemnity.

Hearing these words.

Wuming fell into silence.

Thinking it over carefully.

There really did seem to be some issues within.

At this thought.

He could not help but look up at him.

"May I ask what Senior's plan is?"

After a moment of silence.

Xiao Sanxiao smiled soundlessly and answered softly.

"I plan to make a trip to the Qinglong Society's headquarters."

"No matter what, this matter must be clarified!"

"If the other party truly is the source of the Thousand-Year Calamity, even if it costs me this old life of mine, I must stop it!"

"If my judgment is wrong, then I shall invite the Qinglong Society to join us in resisting the calamity together."

His voice was not loud.

Yet every word between the lines brimmed with resolve.

And faintly, there was also a trace of death in his resolve.

Clearly.

Facing the mysterious and unfathomable Qinglong Society.

He too had no confidence in being able to guarantee a hundred percent safe retreat.

"This..."

"Isn't Senior's move a bit too risky?"

"How about we take our time and plan it through?"

Listening to those words that rang with decisive force.

Wuming could not help but say with some hesitation.

Just how strong was the Qinglong Society, really?

Although no one could give an exact answer,

there was one thing acknowledged throughout the Nine Provinces!

And that was—

The Qinglong Society's power was in no way inferior to the three great imperial dynasties!

It might even surpass them!!

Especially the Grand Dragon Head, Ximen Wudi.

No one knew what terrifying realm he had actually reached!

And faced with such a terrifying organization,

going to their headquarters—

wouldn't that be an old birthday star eating arsenic—courting death?!

"Don't worry."

"No matter how strong his Qinglong Society is, this old man is no easy target to be pushed around."

"Besides—"

"This matter concerns all living beings under heaven; even if it's a dragon's pool or a tiger's den, I have no choice but to charge in!!"

Xiaosanxiao smiled and waved his hand without even thinking.

That manner—

left no room for negotiation whatsoever.

"Why not let this junior go along with you?"

"That way there'll be someone to back you up."

Hearing that it concerned all living beings,

Wuming did not try to dissuade him further.

Instead, he proposed the idea of going together.

However—

the moment the words left his mouth, before they could even fall,

he was rejected without the slightest hesitation by Xiaosanxiao.

"No!"
