Capítulo 1150: Chapter 450: Burning Wood Armor (Part 3)
“But I need some help from you, and I wonder if you dare?”
“Hmm?”
Lie Huo looked at Su Mo.
He noticed a slight smile at Su Mo’s lips, not confident but serene.
As if the Seven Killings Hall meant nothing to him.
With a snap of his fingers, he could make it disappear like dust.
This made Lie Huo wrinkle his brow involuntarily:
“Are you serious about what you just said?”
“You’ll know the truth if you try, elder.”
Su Mo said with a chuckling smile: “Of course, you could also bury your head in the sand.
“Wait for the knife of the Seven Killings Hall to suddenly fall from the sky and take your fine head.”
“This…”
Su Mo’s words struck directly at the heart of Lie Huo.
Tonight’s affair, Seven Killings Hall is unlikely to let things slide.
Seven people came, none returned, while Lie Huo is still well and alive.
If someone claimed Seven Killings Hall would let him continue to roam around Jianghu unfettered, no one would believe it.
Su Mo appeared here without any warning.
He will surely not become a target for Seven Killings Hall.
And even after Seven Killings Hall finds me and I tell them about Su Mo, I might not escape death.
There is an inevitable dead end in this situation.
And even more pressing…
Su Mo could think of this; would he really wait for Seven Killings Hall to come and kill me?
Isn’t it more reasonable for him to silence me here and now?
Thus, just now, he wasn’t truly asking whether I wanted help against Seven Killings Hall.
What he truly wanted to know was… do I want life or death!?
With this thought, Lie Huo suddenly lost all his spirit, asking dispiritedly:
“Just tell me, what do you need me to do?”
“Have you figured it out, elder?”
Su Mo smiled at Lie Huo:
“But what you ought to do, elder, still depends on what they say…
“Hmm, it’s about time.”
Speaking to this point, he suddenly snapped his fingers, letting out a gust of wind that shot forth, making one of the four people tremble.
Looking at Su Mo again, the calmness had evaporated.
Like he was facing an evil ghost on Earth!
“I’ll ask, and you’ll answer; but rest assured, I’ve always been soft-hearted. Even if you don’t speak, I won’t kill you, I’ll just tap you again.”
Su Mo smiled amicably, his tone gentle.
Lie Huo couldn’t help but roll his eyes at Su Mo:
“Till this moment, no news from Seven Killings Hall has been spread through Jianghu. Being this amiable, you might not get anything out of them.”
At this point in the conversation, the black clothed man from Seven Killings Hall quivered his lips:
“You… ask…
“Though what I know is limited, I might not be able to answer everything.
“But as long as it’s something I know, I’ll certainly tell the truth.
“I only ask that after you’re done questioning, let me die!”
“Alright.”
Su Mo nodded: “Rest assured, as long as you answer truthfully, I’ll definitely kill you.”
“Thank you.”
The Seven Killings Hall man expressed heartfelt gratitude, as if relieved from a heavy burden.
Lie Huo felt everything before his eyes was surreal.
Having spend his life in Jianghu, it was the first time he saw such an odd event.
Normally, when people are captured and coerced for information, wouldn’t the captor offer a chance to live if questions are answered?
Not only was Su Mo not following convention, neither was the one captured.
If someone is going to kill you, do you thank them?
What kind of Mystical trickery is this?
Su Mo didn’t hesitate, he directly asked:
“Why do you want to buy Ximen Huai?”
“Don’t know.”
The man immediately shook his head.
Lie Huo almost laughed.
He thought the Seven Killings Hall man was giving quick but insincere answers.
Su Mo paid no heed, continuing to ask:
“After seizing Ximen Huai tonight, where will you take him?”
“Shuanglong City.”
“Where in Shuanglong City?”
“I don’t know.”
“Who knows?”
“Him.”
The man pointed to the person next to him: “Among our group, he’s the leader.”
Other than the first question, the remaining ones were answered without hesitation.
Lie Huo felt his mind buzzing.
Seven Killings Hall!
The extremely mysterious Seven Killings Hall!
With such a lack of secrecy, how has your Seven Killings Hall remained mysterious until today?
Su Mo nodded slightly and unsealed the acupoints of the leader.
“Where in Shuanglong City?”
Su Mo asked again.
Lie Huo immediately perked his ears, faintly hoping this leader would be more tough.
But the result was disappointing.
The leader didn’t even think:
“Teng Residence mansion.”
“Teng Residence?”
Lie Huo frowned slightly: “Shuanglong City’s Teng Family? Are you trying to divert disaster eastward?”
“…Not Teng Family.”
The man said in a deep voice: “Lord Zimu killed Teng Family accounting room’s Zhou An, Li Dai Taojiang.
“We are to capture him and hand him over.
“And then, he will arrange for the departure from this place.”
“What’s the reason for capturing Ximen Huai?”
“For the Sea Map in his possession and the Jade Crown Quenching Heart Scripture.”
Su Mo’s brows slightly rose:
“Why?”
“I don’t know either.”
The man shook his head: “It’s merely the order.”
Su Mo pondered, then suddenly asked:
“What are you afraid of, really?”
The leader hesitated for a moment but didn’t dare conceal:
“If I say it, you may not be aware…
“What we fear is a massive power.
“Its name is…”
At this point, Su Mo suddenly pressed a finger on Lie Huo’s neck.
Lie Huo neither anticipated Su Mo’s surprise attack nor did he expect the leader’s words.
Unprepared, Su Mo’s finger thrust silenced him, unconscious as his eyes rolled back.
And what he missed hearing were these three words:
“…Imperial Dao.”
Upon hearing the preceding words, Su Mo already predicted as much.
Yet he remained uncertain whether they feared the Imperial Dao or the Jinglong Association.
But regardless of which, Lie Huo wasn’t privy to such matters.
Upon finally hearing the words ‘Imperial Dao,’ Su Mo’s lips curled slightly:
“You… are from Jinglong Association?”
The leader’s pupils shrank suddenly:
“How did you know?”
…
…
