"The news about the Xinghai Relic Sand Iron had leaked out, and Hero Ji protected it all the way, but alas, one man's strength is no match for many.
"After making it to the Ziyang Escort Agency, in the end, he could not sustain any longer... and passed away."
As the Hidden Sword Hermit was about to reach for the Xinghai Relic Sand Iron, his fingers twitched slightly upon hearing these words.
He turned back to look at Su Mo: "Passed away? Died?"
"Died."
Su Mo nodded.
The Hidden Sword Hermit fell silent, then turned to look at the Xinghai Relic Sand Iron again. The delighted look in his eyes suddenly turned to one of distaste.
After a long while, he let out a breath:
"Since the news has leaked, I suppose it wasn't easy for you all to get here, was it?"
"It was manageable."
Su Mo replied with a slight smile: "We had some friends who helped with many matters, which allowed us to arrive safely."
"...Not worth it."
