Capítulo 1365: Chapter 522: Events of Years Past (Part 2)
“Earlier, I heard from Zhou Su that after passing this area of the sea, it will be about three days until we arrive.”
Yang Xiaoyun said, “Currently, there are four members of the Eight Sects on Weilong Island. They originally planned to take advantage of the Qi Family’s turmoil to infiltrate the Nanhai Alliance.
“They intended to use it as a stepping stone for a large-scale attack.
“However, the situation has changed now, and they can only hold their position.
“Initially, two of them planned to leave Weilong Island, but something small came up, and they decided to stay and meet the Eight Sects Dragon Maiden.”
Su Mo laughed upon hearing this:
“It’s just as well that we didn’t have time to go to the Dragon King Hall this trip, so let’s meet them at Weilong Island.
“Hmm, where’s Old Ma?”
His gaze shifted, and Old Ma, hearing from afar, quickly responded.
“Come with me.”
After speaking, Su Mo exchanged a few words with Yang Xiaoyun and Wei Ziyi before heading to the study ahead of them.
Old Ma followed closely, and after entering, Su Mo asked Old Ma to close the door and pointed to a chair, saying:
“Have a seat.”
“I don’t dare to.”
Old Ma’s tone was respectful.
Although initially, both parties harbored their own agendas,
Su Mo’s promise to give him an explanation for the events of the past made him very grateful.
Today, seeing Su Mo’s divine skill, which seemed to be a miracle,
further added to his gratitude and admiration, to the point of awe.
At this moment, how could he dare to be presumptuous?
Likewise, if this version of Su Mo was willing to help him, there might truly be a resolution to the past events.
“There’s no need to hesitate; have a seat if I tell you to.”
Su Mo himself sat down at the desk, casually picked up a stack of papers, and handed them to Old Ma.
“What is this?”
Old Ma received them with both hands.
“The causes and consequences of your family massacre back then.”
Su Mo said, “I asked the Sihai Dragon Heads to recall things carefully, record everything in detail.”
Old Ma’s hand shook, almost scattering the papers.
After calming his breath steadily, he managed to gather his focus, knowing Su Mo wouldn’t show this just to reopen old wounds.
He immediately steadied his mind and looked carefully.
But as he read, his brows furrowed:
“This… this is completely nonsensical!”
“Oh?”
Su Mo glanced at Old Ma: “Explain carefully.”
“Back then, our Zhangjing Gang secretly practiced Whale Swallowing Skill, that much is true.
“But those who practiced it did so willingly.
“Yet this says that someone escaped from the Zhangjing Gang’s dungeon, where they were forcibly taught Whale Swallowing Skill, and got rescued by a passing Dragon King Hall disciple.
“That’s simply impossible…
“While we do have a dungeon, those inside are either rebels against the Zhangjing Gang
“or wrongdoers within our territory.
“Disciples practicing Whale Swallowing Skill wouldn’t be imprisoned there.”
Old Ma grew angrier as he spoke:
.
“This also says that a Dragon King Hall disciple broke into Zhangjing Gang intending to destroy our Demon Cave…
“but we killed them all.
“Their heads were cut off and displayed at our door…
“That’s utterly fictional.
“We were peacefully sitting at home, when suddenly the Dragon King Hall barged in, indiscriminately calling for our execution.
“Zhangjing Gang was completely wiped out overnight.
“My… my wife and children were also brutally killed in front of me.
“How can they fabricate such charges, reversing black and white?
“Using fabricated crimes to slaughter our Zhangjing Gang?”
At this point, perhaps recalling his tragic family or the destroyed gang, Old Ma wept bitterly.
Su Mo exhaled softly, waited until he calmed down, then gently spoke:
“Old Ma… what if what they said was the truth?”
“What?”
Old Ma was stunned, suddenly looking at Su Mo:
“Chief… what do you mean?”
His instinctual thought was that Su Mo intended to side with the Dragon King Hall.
But on second thought, that seemed illogical.
If siding was the intent, why go to such trouble?
“I mean… what if, in the eyes of the Sihai Dragon Heads, what they said was indeed their truth?”
Su Mo tapped lightly on the desk:
“What do you think?”
Even though Old Ma was old and not very sharp,
Su Mo’s hint was clear, and suddenly a chill rose in his heart:
“Chief means…
“Someone framed us?”
But as soon as he spoke, Old Ma shook his head repeatedly:
“That makes no sense…
“Our Zhangjing Gang never sought to rule or dominate, only wished for a peaceful corner.
“We rarely made enemies, let alone a mortal rivalry.
“Who would go to such lengths, even risking conflict with the Dragon King Hall, to frame us?”
Su Mo poured two cups of tea, pushing one towards Old Ma.
Holding his own cup, he gently blew on the leaves and took a sip:
“I called you here today for two things I want to ask.”
“Chief, please ask away!”
Old Ma quickly replied: “I will tell you everything I know without reservation.”
“Good, the first question…”
Su Mo raised his first finger:
“How did your Whale Swallowing Skill reach Great Success?”
“This…”
Old Ma was momentarily at a loss for words.
Su Mo looked at him: “Unwilling to speak?”
“No, no.”
Old Ma quickly shook his head: “I just don’t know where to start… nor how to phrase it.
