Cheng Feiyu indeed has a belly full of confusion.

Why would his fellow disciples, having little to do with Jianghu, let alone make enemies?

Yet the Yin Mountain Ghost Lord has a clear target, bent on dealing with his fellow disciples.

But where did such reasoning come from?

Even if one traced back ten years ago, those who besieged him included Yuliu Manor’s manor master Liu Suifeng and Master Cangming among a group of Righteous Path experts. The Luoxing Sect did not even participate, not to mention providing vocal support.

No matter how you look at it, there should be no grudges with the Yin Mountain Ghost Lord.

At this moment, why suddenly inflict harm? What is the reason behind it?

Without clarifying this matter, how could one be at peace?

Su Mo’s palm halted, stopping half an inch before the Yin Mountain Ghost Lord’s crown. The palm hadn’t fallen yet, but the vigorous wind was fierce.

Not only did it blow the few remaining strands of hair on the Yin Mountain Ghost Lord’s head to sway in the wild wind, but the dissipation also startled Cheng Feiyu and Lou Jingjing.

“Then shall we first ask?”

Su Mo glanced at Yang Xiaoyun.

Yang Xiaoyun nodded her head: “Then ask before killing, leaving no loose ends!”

“Good.”

Su Mo nodded, gave Cheng Feiyu a glance: “Brother Cheng, please do as you wish.”

“Thank you.”

Cheng Feiyu bowed in thanks, then approached the Yin Mountain Ghost Lord: “May I ask Senior…”

“Then don’t ask.”

Before Cheng Feiyu could finish his sentence, the Yin Mountain Ghost Lord rebuffed him, sneering continuously: “If not for my old injuries being incurable, today my martial arts strength not even one-tenth remaining, otherwise, with my Mystical True Energy alone, I could make you struggle between life and death. Now, having made one careless move and fallen into the hands of you lowlifes, there’s not much left to say.

“Do whatever you want with my body, I will comply! But if you want me to open my mouth, to tell all without reserve…”

At this point, he suddenly let out a cackling laugh: “That’s not impossible.”

Cheng Feiyu listened, baffled; the beginning of these words sounded tough, how come they suddenly turned pliable?

But he hurriedly asked: “What do you want?”

“Kneel and kowtow a few times to me, call me Grandpa a few times, then find me a few pretty girls to enjoy, and I might consider it.”

Cheng Feiyu, for a moment, blushed with embarrassment, speechless.

Although he had more Jianghu experience than his junior sister, he was not the match for this kind of battle-hardened figure of Jianghu.

He wanted to curse angrily, but found his own limited vocabulary was evidently not sufficient to contend with the person before him.

But he heard Su Mo chuckle: “Senior speaks with malice, are you so eager for death?”

A hint of astonishment flashed in the eyes of the Yin Mountain Ghost Lord, only to sneer again: “Boy, you’ve come to pay respects to your Grandpa as well?”

Su Mo did not get angry, just stood beside Cheng Feiyu, looked at the bodies on the ground, and sighed: “Senior Yin Mountain Ghost Lord, you were considered top-notch in Jianghu. Once famous in Martial Arts, so imposing. Yet I did not expect, that your real self would be such.”

“Brat, you’re courting death!!!”

The Yin Mountain Ghost Lord’s most taboo was when others made remarks about his physique.

There’s an old saying that one should not expose shortcoming when insulting, nor hit the face when fighting. Su Mo did not just expose shortcomings, he also slapped hard on the face.

“Senior, today, you are probably unable to kill us.”

Su Mo waved his hand: “Verbal skirmishes are truly dull. I see that Brother Cheng today, will likely not be able to ask anything conclusive. In that case, we might as well send Senior on his way.”

“Hmph, if you truly do so, I’ll give you credit for having a bit of Jianghu’s bold spirit.”

The Yin Mountain Ghost Lord sneered, with a trace of admiration in his tone.

But unexpectedly, just as he finished speaking, he heard Su Mo say: “However, Senior was illustrious in life, one shouldn’t fade away unknown in death. How about this? Once Senior dies, I’ll sever your limbs and hang your corpse above the beams of this room, then hang a plaque on your chest that says… Hmm, let’s write: ‘Yin Mountain Ghost Lord confesses his numerous atrocities hung here as a warning to the world.’

“I wonder what Senior thinks of this idea?”

“Senior’s awe-inspiring reputation was unmatched during his lifetime; if things proceed like this after death, I fear his fame will resound even louder and manifold!”

Su Mo’s words were not kind, yet each and every one was like a knife, brutally stabbing at Yin Mountain Ghost Lord.

His complexion darkened to an iron blue, twisted with rage: “Impudent brat, how dare you!!!”

“What can you do to me?”

Su Mo’s smile was brimming with amusement.

“…You insult the dead, have you no fear of retribution??”

“How interesting, with esteemed seniors like you setting an example, what should I fear?”

The Yin Mountain Ghost Lord had already committed numerous atrocities. The martial arts recorded in the Mystical Scripture were not only bizarre and ruthless but also required the sacrifice of living humans during practice.

If anyone should fear retribution, naturally, it would be the Yin Mountain Ghost Lord first.

“…”

Silenced by Su Mo’s words, the Yin Mountain Ghost Lord was left speechless. Su Mo then smiled, “If the senior has nothing more to say, then it is time for this junior to send you on your way.”

After saying this, he prepared to make a move.

“Wait a moment!”

The Yin Mountain Ghost Lord’s face contorted; he was not afraid of death. Having been involved in Jianghu to this point, he could not say he was indifferent to life and death, but he had certainly seen through it and detached himself from it significantly.

But what he truly cared about was his posthumous reputation.

During his life, he terrorized the world and left behind a notorious name, living not entirely in vain.

But if his legacy were to be mocked, that indeed would be a restlessness in death.

He took a deep breath at once:

“Fine, I’ll speak! My goal was not to kill those two juniors from the Luoxing Sect, but to capture that girl among your company, as for why… I do not know even myself.”

This statement left several people exchanging puzzled looks.

Cheng Feiyu asked, “Has my younger martial sister offended you, Senior?”

“Never!”

“Or has my Luoxing Sect wronged Your Excellency?”

“That neither.”

“So what issue has led us to forge this unknown grudge against the Senior?”

“Humph, you and I have no fate from distant days, nor grievances in recent ones, without any connection at all!”

“Preposterous!”

Cheng Feiyu burst out angrily, “With no grievances or grudges, why do you seek to capture my younger martial sister?”

“It is simply by someone else’s request!”

At this point, the Yin Mountain Ghost Lord concealed nothing, recounting the matter frankly and in detail.

It turns out that the Ghost Lord of Yin Mountain did not originally consist of only four people but actually five brothers.

Being innately impaired, they were abandoned at a young age and thereafter struggled to survive, enduring much bullying.

Later, by a twist of fate, they came to Yin Mountain, where they found the Mystical Scripture, a rare evil technique in the world, and thus cultivated formidable martial arts.

Experiences of their youth led to their twisted hearts; they disregarded the laws of the world, engaged in wrongdoing – unleashing their past grievances and also cultivating their powers to strengthen themselves!

This also resulted in a siege they faced ten years ago.

At that time, it was one of them who had been transfixed by the Yu Liu Sword Heart Liu Suifeng’s sword.

The remaining four brothers fell off a cliff and by sheer luck did not die. Although Liu Suifeng’s Divine Rainbow Heart Seeking Sword had not yet reached great success at the time, it was already not to be underestimated. A strand of Sword Qi loitered in their bodies, spreading to this day, not healing even after ten years!

Since then, the four had found a place to heal and had not appeared in Jianghu for ten years.

Unexpectedly, just a few months ago, someone found them…
