Su Mo did not wish to appear at the climax.
Nor did he desire to emerge as the savior in Yang Yi's dire moment.
It was simply that from the beginning, Su Mo had a feeling the game was not yet over.
On one hand, the Vice Palace Master of Jile Heavenly Palace, with her bizarre martial arts, was matched by Yang Yi and his group.
On the other hand, there was a sense that Yang Yizhi had yet to unleash his full strength, as if he was waiting for something.
And as Gu Biyan was captured, this feeling grew more intense.
Thus, Su Mo remained patient, observing and waiting for the unfolding events.
Of course, had the situation stopped there, it would have been an appropriate moment for Su Mo to intervene.
To capture Yang Yi promptly and engage in a serious conversation.
If other changes were to arise, remaining unseen on his part would ensure preparedness for any contingency.
The final outcome, however, transpired as Su Mo had anticipated.
There was indeed a continuation.
