Chapter 191: Casting a Net
There are sixteen days left until the next full moon night.
The Su family has been actively working within the sect, trying to get Su Mo released. They refuse to believe that Su Mo, who was raised in luxury, could be connected with the evil demons of the Devil Sect.
In fact, it’s not just the Su family that believes this; most of the prominent families in Kunwu City share a similar view. As a result, rumors spread that He Yi’s sudden trouble with the Su family was a retaliation for what happened to his brother He Gang. Such rumors naturally spread.
These rumors are particularly distressing, causing people to feel trapped and frustrated. However, He Yi seems resolute and indifferent to the external pressures, continuing to detain Su Mo despite the Su family’s demands.
The Su family’s efforts within the sect also encountered unexpected resistance. Almost all the True Immortals above the Nascent Soul stage refused or declined to intervene on their behalf, including Su Qingjun’s master, Wood Origin True Master.
After a day or two of this deadlock, the atmosphere in the Kunlun Sect changed dramatically. Many families that had been furious and indignant suddenly fell silent.
Those who have been around Kunlun Mountain for hundreds of years know how to read the wind and adapt to the situation.
Although Su Qingjun had recently had a falling out with Su Mo and even taught him a lesson, resulting in a cold war with her family, she could not remain detached. After all, Su Mo was her biological brother, and her parents were frantic. She still went to plead with her master, Wood Origin True Master.
Everyone in Kunlun knew that Wood Origin True Master cared for Su Qingjun, but he still shook his head and refused her request.
