Chapter 143 The Leader of All Thoughts
Under the ancient tree, the red flame in the copper furnace gradually died down. Zhuge Yu stared at the cooling of the magic weapon with high concentration, checking it again and again.

After a while, the repaired magic weapon came out. It was a small wooden gourd with a golden wooden sword with patterns of exotic beasts on it inserted on the top.

"Brother, is this done?"

Seeing the aura of the magic weapon, Lu Jin gradually regained his composure and then asked.

Looking back on the repair process, it was not easy. There were several times when the fire was so strong that it almost exploded, which made him very nervous.

"It's done."

Zhuge Yu couldn't let go of the small gourd, sweat oozing from his forehead. After nearly two hours of hard work, it was finally repaired. He felt refreshed and a sense of pride arose in his heart.

"Xiao Lu, this is the sword-raising gourd, do you recognize it?"

"No, please tell me more, senior brother." Lu Jin looked at the wooden gourd curiously. The ancient meaning was overwhelming, and the hidden power should not be underestimated.

"I don't know much about it, but I roughly know that this 'Sword Cultivating Gourd' is usually a magical tool used by sword cultivators. Don't underestimate this gourd."

Zhuge Yu pointed at the faint inscriptions on the surface of the gourd and introduced:
"Here, this is its mystery. The engraved patterns absorb the spiritual energy between heaven and earth, warming the wooden sword inserted into it and accumulating sword energy."

"When you want to use it, you can use your Qi to activate it, and the small wooden sword will fly out automatically. You can use it for both offense and defense as you wish."

Lu Jin seemed to understand, and nodded, "I understand a little bit now, Senior Brother, have you seen a similar gourd before?"

"Hey, it's true."

Zhuge Yu smiled and said, "When I was a kid, I saw a sword-raising gourd of an uncle in the village, but his gourd was of a higher grade than mine. His gourd had been nourishing for sixty years, it was very powerful."

"Come, I'll give you some fun."

After saying that, he stuffed the sword-raising gourd into Lu Jin's hand and taught him how to use it.

Jiang Mo was chatting with Si Chong and Cheng Zhen. Time passed quickly. After he finished a few cups of tea, the Qi Diagram started to move again.

Sixty red Qi points continued to move from the edge of the area towards the Trinity Mountain Gate, which was still four hundred meters away.

"Let's go, kill them all and be done with it."

Jiang Mo put down the teacup, stood up and took Si Chong and Cheng Zhen to meet the disciples downstairs to distribute tactics.

"Brother, take Shuiyun, Changqing, and Shengsheng and attack from the left side;"

"Cheng Zhen, take Zhuge and Jin Er and double-team from the right side;"

"I'll be waiting for them out front."

Everyone accepted the arrangement and prepared for battle. Jiang Mo asked them to wait where they were. As there were too many people under Wan Nian Shou's command, he went to the back mountain and put all five stone statues into heaven and took them away. He also cleaned up the five dead bodies.

When they returned to the mountain gate, the enemy was three hundred meters away. Jiang Mo signaled to start the action and watched Si Chong and Cheng Zhen lead the team away. He walked down the mountain steps and followed the marked position of the Qi diagram to intercept at a place where they must pass.

In the dim jungle, the assassin of Wan Nianshou restrained his murderous aura and stepped on the leaves silently, like a hundred ghosts wandering around.

Soon, Jiang Mo encountered them. There were dense figures walking slowly, unafraid of the road guards ahead.

The features of white shirt and white hair, the calm momentum, the whistling sharpness, even if it was just the first time they met, all these signs made all the killers present believe that the young man in front of them was the new leader of Trinity Sect.

The leader of Wan Nian Shou was an elderly woman. She leaned on a cane, her back hunched, and quipped:

"I didn't expect that Master Jiang would come to greet us personally. It's an honor." "I smelled blood all the way here. It seems that many of my colleagues have been killed by you. I'm a little curious. Can Master Jiang explain it to me? Which family suffered the loss?"

"We are all on the road, we just need you."

Jiang Mo's eyes fell on the old woman. His intuition told him that she was much more dangerous than the leaders of the other two families.

The assassins who heard this couldn't believe that the two forces that were as famous as theirs were completely wiped out. Instantly, a depressing atmosphere filled the woods and everyone's faces changed.

Is this the existence that has been praised as "the best" by the gossipers in the world recently?
"Master Jiang is so majestic. It looks like I will die in your hands too."

As if it was an agreement, the other assassins took out their guns and pointed them at Jiang Mo.

The old woman knew the situation and knew when to advance and retreat. She smiled kindly, without any murderous intent, and suggested:
"Since the other two families have failed, there is no need for us to bang our heads against the wall again. Master Jiang, how about we each take a step back?"

The assassins who followed were filled with shock and fear. They had never expected that their iron-blooded and ruthless leader would take the initiative to ask for peace at such a critical moment of life and death.

"Trinity Gate is not a place where you can come and go as you please."

Jiang Mo smiled kindly and said, "Old man, you are old. I'm afraid it's inconvenient for you to move around."

"It's a long journey, don't tire your old bones. Since you already have one foot in the coffin, why don't you stay here tonight and let me push you. It would be wonderful to sleep in the ground forever."

"Master Jiang, I am so terrified. How can I be worthy of having you personally entertain me?"

The old woman smiled bitterly and refused, but she was determined to leave. In her past assassination career, she had never encountered such an impeccable person.

A sense of defeat arose in his heart when he first met her. This was undoubtedly good news for the killer, as at least he could recognize the situation in advance and save his life. But it was also unfortunate, as it meant that given the huge gap in strength, it was almost impossible to complete the mission.

Seeing that Jiang Mo did not respond, the old woman struck while the iron was hot: "Let's take a step back and win together..."

"My subordinates and I have never harmed any of your disciples, nor any of the plants or trees in your Sanyi Sect. Sect Master Jiang, please spare my life. I am willing to give up the commission I received from my employer. I hope you will forgive me and let bygones be bygones."

This attitude of forbearance and flattery made the fifty-nine elite soldiers of Wan Nian Shou feel aggrieved and unwilling. They absolutely did not believe that so many of them would be helpless against the head of the Sanyi Sect.

However, the old woman was extremely reluctant to go to war with Jiang Mo. She now only wanted to preserve Wan Nianshou's strength and retreat safely. Even if she lost her reputation in the martial arts world, it would still be a victory compared to the other two families that suffered heavy losses.

"Boom!!!"

While the other party was still waiting for a reply, Jiang Mo waved his hand, and the kingdom of heaven opened up. Five huge monsters were released by him. Their exaggerated sizes made the assassins very afraid.

"What on earth is this?"

“Although it has a humanoid shape, it is definitely not a living thing.”

The old woman looked solemn, frowned and asked, "Master Jiang, what do you mean?"

"Before you come, there will be no possibility for me to let you go."

Jiang Mo locked his eyes on the other leader, with murderous intent, and spoke bluntly:

"Especially you. Your threat is more terrifying than all the other minions combined. Although you are not the strongest person I have ever seen, your methods are definitely extraordinary."

"We have made enemies here. If we let you go, it would be like letting a tiger go back to the mountain. If we have disputes in the future, it will be easy for you to kill my disciples, and I will not be able to stop you."
