Chapter 439: Chapter 214: Making a Move_2

“That makes sense.”

Duan Song nodded and glanced at the old man in Su Mo’s hands, “Alright, alright, no need to hold onto him any longer. Just press his acupoints and put him aside.”

Su Mo responded and threw the old man to the side.

Now with his hands free, he greeted everyone.

It turned into a lively event.

The several following Duan Song were excellent disciples of the Ziyang Sect and were extremely warm to Su Mo, treating him not at all like an outsider.

In the midst of casual conversation, the four robust men beside them started to be quite meek.

They knew Su Mo and his group were not to be trifled with from the beginning.

But they did not expect them to be such big shots!

One was a disciple of the Lengyue Palace, while the other had extraordinary relations with the Ziyang Sect.

At this point, the leader had understood that, with Su Mo’s martial arts, if he really wanted to save someone, his own men would not have died.

It was because of what that person had done earlier that he opted for a death wish.

However, Su Mo’s methods were nothing too extreme, and even though the leader understood the reason, there was nothing he could say.

Could he really blame the other for not saving someone?

There was only distance between them, no emotional ties. Saving you would be kindness, not saving you is also within reason. What was there to complain about? Who would dare to complain?

For the moment, he intended to take his men to retrieve the corpse of the one who died earlier.

Yet, Su Mo suddenly spoke up:

“Gentlemen, if I were you, I definitely wouldn’t touch his body.”

“Ah?”

The leader’s heart skipped a beat, and he hurriedly turned back to look at Su Mo, saying respectfully, “Yes!”

“…What do you mean ’yes’?”

Su Mo was somewhat speechless, “The martial arts of the E Tao Sect carry a corpse rotting poison. Once contaminated, we might not have a cure… If you want to collect his body, it’s best to think of another method.”

“So that’s how it is.”

The leader finally came to his senses and was profusely grateful.

Su Mo waved his hand dismissively and glanced over at the father and daughter by the wall.

After this incident, both of them were somewhat frightened.

And knowing that Duan Song and the others were from the Ziyang Sect made them even more reluctant to speak.

In this territory, the Ziyang Sect was undeniably the supreme authority!

The disciples of the Ziyang Sect are seen as lofty figures in the eyes of the common people, absolutely incomparable to the ordinary.

Su Mo then smiled and said, “Brother, are you still worried? Rest assured, the culprit has been captured.”

The middle-aged man had some vigor and nodded in response, “That’s true, we don’t need to be afraid now. Thank you, young brother.”

“There’s no place to say that. It’s just being at the right place at the right time,” Su Mo replied with a smile. He did not force the man to come over and meet Duan Song and the others.

Just a few words to ease the other party’s tension would do.

Meanwhile, Wei Ziyi took the little girl’s hand, whispering in her ear secretly. The girl’s eyes lit up, nodding continuously.

Then, the two of them sneakily ran behind the main hall, privately whispering.

Su Mo then discussed with Duan Song about the old man’s situation.

Duan Song sighed and said,

“The E Tao Sect’s poison spreads far and wide. We thought that after the battle years ago, none would be left alive. Yet, it seems that like the hundred-legged worm, it is hard to kill completely.

“Especially in recent times, I feel that the sect seems to be showing signs of resurgence. We really need to be cautious.”

Su Mo nodded, “However, there is something that I am quite concerned about.”

“Oh?”

Duan Song looked at Su Mo, “Let’s hear it.”

“Just now, something that person said struck me as odd,”

Su Mo smiled, “When Miss Wei was using the Flying Star Sword Technique, this guy saw through her abilities and said ’Back then, your Lengyue Palace people were involved in exterminating the E Tao Sect to the last. To aid them in devouring you as well is a bit of revenge for them.’

“Even though this was said during the fight, I remember it distinctly.”

“What?”

Duan Song was taken aback, “That means, this person isn’t from the E Tao Sect?”

He suddenly looked at the old man, “Speak, who are you exactly? Why do you practice the martial arts of the E Tao Sect?”

Although the old man was immobilized by Su Mo’s Inner Strength sealing his meridians, he could still speak.

Hearing this, he just smiled, “I am your grandfather.”

Duan Song’s mouth twitched, clearly troubled, and couldn’t help but look at Su Mo,

“Shall we hang him on the beam and beat him for three hours first?”

“…”

Su Mo blinked, “Senior… with all due respect, don’t you have any smarter methods of interrogation?”

Duan Song shook his head bluntly, “No.”

Seeing Su Mo’s helpless expression, Duan Song explained,

“Our Ziyang Sect follows the path of upright and honorable conduct. When it comes to torturing people… we really aren’t skilled.”

Su Mo sighed, “It all depends on how it’s used.”

“Hm?”

Duan Song’s eyes lit up, “Could it be that you have a way?”

Su Mo smiled, “Using Pure Yang Inner Power to break through his Yongquan acupoint. It will undoubtedly cause unbearable heat and itching, a thousand times more intense than ordinary means…”

Duan Song was stunned, then he slapped his thigh fiercely, “Exactly! You truly live up to being the son of Su Tianyang. Tricky and cunning… ahem, ahem, ahem… I mean, the words intelligent and clever are indeed in your bones.”

Su Mo: “…”

You’ve already given yourself away!
