Chapter 238: Chapter 147: There’s a Ghost Behind!_3

ZhuGe Changtian glanced at the Qingshe Alliance Leader lying on the ground, as well as the old man who had suddenly appeared, knowing that Su Mo had some matters that were related to secrecy, and immediately arranged for people to handle the situation.

Su Mo mercilessly pulled Yang Xiaoyun, who was chatting leisurely with the Hongye Gang Leader, and casually dragged over the Qingshe Alliance Leader Zhu, as though dragging a rag bag out of the room.

Passing by Li Siyun, Su Mo said with a smile, “Shall Lord Li lead the way?”

“Hmph…”

Li Siyun got up with a humming noise, “Although your method is cruel, it’s quite appropriate for dealing with such people.”

“Is that a compliment?”

“It’s just passable.”

Li Siyun said, “If it were your father here in the past, he certainly would have had another way.”

“What way?”

Su Mo was a bit curious.

Li Siyun pondered for a moment, then shook his head lightly, “He would probably have tried the poison on himself, and would never have done such a thing to others.”

“…”

Su Mo raised an eyebrow, somewhat understanding how his so-called father had died.

If one could resort to testing poisons on oneself, then there were indeed too many ways to court death.

Su Mo believed in doing what is right by the Path of Chivalry without hesitation.

However, when it came to his own life and death, he naturally prioritized his own safety. The sentiment of sacrificing oneself for others is certainly admirable, but it was something that he found difficult to accomplish.

Without further ado, everyone followed the people from the Jiaolong Water Fort to a quiet room.

After saying goodbye, the man left, and Su Mo threw the Qingshe Alliance Leader to the ground, then looked at Li Siyun:

“Now it’s Lord Li’s turn. Tell me, what exactly is the Mandarin Duck List all about?”

“Do you really know nothing?”

Li Siyun then said something inexplicable.

Su Mo was taken aback, “I… what could I know?”

Li Siyun’s brow was tightly furrowed, as if there was something difficult to understand, and after a moment, he suddenly asked,

“Move the Qi upwards, strike the central pillar, draw the ends, and return to the Ren-Du meridians… Do you know the next line?”

Yang Xiaoyun looked at Su Mo in some astonishment.

Su Mo, however, had a puzzled face, “Hearing Lord Li’s words, this seems to be some Qi Flowing Spell? But I don’t know where it comes from?”

“Do you really not know?”

Li Siyun’s brow furrowed tighter.

“…Should I?”

Su Mo’s face was genuinely confused.

“Your father actually didn’t teach you this martial arts…”

Li Siyun mumbled to himself, “But… but if that’s the case, how do you possess such martial prowess?”

While speaking, he reached out to take Su Mo’s pulse.

Su Mo counter-grabbed and, using his Great Opening Sun Dispersal Hand, fended off Li Siyun’s hand.

Upon the touch of their palms, Li Siyun felt an aggressive force from Su Mo’s hand.

Brilliantly overwhelming, perfectly balanced, and solid in foundation.

Yet his face changed several times in an instant, and finally, he sighed deeply:

“It’s really not… you, where exactly does your martial arts come from?”

Su Mo and Yang Xiaoyun exchanged glances before he spoke:

“Does Lord Li wish to see the foundation of Su’s martial arts? Frankly, my father only taught me the Bright Sun Heart Technique, and all my skills thereafter were imparted by strange people, though I must excuse myself from revealing the exact foundations.

“As for the martial arts Lord Li mentioned, I have truly never heard of them.”

“…I see.”

Li Siyun’s face grew even grimmer, looked at Su Mo and said, “If I don’t tell you the reason behind it, would you… use that method on me?”

This question was blunt to the point that Su Mo hesitated for a moment.

But then he heard Li Siyun chuckle, “Even your hesitation is worthwhile, after all, you are his son.

“I have been careless, and now I must not compound my mistakes.

“Lord Su, the Chief of the Escort, no matter what you use on me, I will not reveal the inside story.

“I ask for Lord Su’s forgiveness.”

After saying that, he simply sat down and fell silent.

Then the Qingshe Alliance Leader let out a cold snort, “If you won’t talk, I will…”

“Hmm?”

Li Siyun suddenly looked up, but just scoffed, “Oh? Go on, I’m listening.”

The Qingshe Alliance Leader was taken aback, glanced at Li Siyun, his brow furrowed as if he had misunderstood something.

Yet he began to say:

“The Mandarin Duck List is related to a secret place with hidden treasure…”

While speaking, he slyly observed Li Siyun, only to see Li Siyun just kept coldly sneering.

Upon hearing this, Su Mo’s eyebrows raised, and he looked at Li Siyun and softly said, “Could it be, it’s related to Da Xuan’s Armory?”

Li Siyun’s demeanor remained unshaken.

However, the Qingshe Alliance Leader’s brow furrowed, “How could it involve Da Xuan’s Armory? Wait… Da Xuan’s Armory?”

He suddenly looked towards Su Mo, confusion apparent in his expression for a moment as if he had realized something.

Lights flickered in his eyes, and he muttered to himself:

“This matter is critical…

“Da Xuan’s Armory?

“Golden Jade Cone… Mandarin Duck List…

“No… that’s not right!”

His eyes filled with horror suddenly, and it seemed as though the acupoints Su Mo had pressed on him lost their effectiveness.

He abruptly stood up and turned to leave.

But after just one step, numerous acupoints on his body burst open, and he bled profusely.

Yet he did not stop, and after just two steps, he could no longer muster the strength.

With eyes full of rage, he looked towards the door, gritting his teeth:

“Sect Leader… there’s a traitor behind you!!!”

After dropping these six words, he flipped over and fell to the ground, dying.

Li Siyun’s eyes faintly rippled, and he eventually sighed softly:

“Before he plotted his schemes, he had already taken poison. That’s why, when you used that method, even though the pain was unbearable, he still bore it.

“Unless he really couldn’t hold on, he wouldn’t have told you where to find the antidote.

“Hmph… Heaven without doors, earth without paths, the human world without compassion, what a Three Extremes Sect!

“Absence of heaven, absence of earth, absence of humanity!”
