Chapter 1698 - 629: The Righteous Path of Earth
"Third Master Dongmen?"
Su Mo’s originally retreating footsteps halted abruptly upon hearing these words:
"Who are you talking about...?"
"Who else could it be..."
The Blood Lotus Sect Leader, with a man’s face, exuded a delicate fragrance, her eyes misty:
"Naturally... naturally it’s Longmen... Longmen Sect Third Jing Dongmen Yong!!"
Only then did Su Mo completely stop his steps.
Dingchan Mountain, Bai Ye Lake, after all, are all connected to this Dongmen Yong.
Before coming here, Su Mo feared this Third Jing most of all.
This person’s schemes are countless, full of intrigue, with unknown intentions to this day.
If he was helping Jinglong Association to seize the world.
But first, he caused trouble in Donghuang, persuaded Jun Luo to betray his family, and secretly instilled ideas to Night Lord, leading to years of chaos in Donghuang.
Yet he sneaked into Chimei Forest Wangliang Courtyard, secretly studying the Yin Yang Immortal Order, creating a Qiankun Great Solution.
Now it seems he has achieved something.
The two subordinates of the Store Manager practiced the Qiankun Xin Yi Undying Skill evolved from it.
Along the way, he also managed to secretly kill Longmen Sect Sixth Jing at the Martial God Temple.
Such behavior indeed shows he is not helping Jinglong Association to conquer the world.
Instead, it seems more like undermining it.
But a person like this naturally can’t be judged by common sense.
Until the moment of truth is revealed, the real intentions may be hard to see.
Now that there is news of this person, Su Mo cannot pretend not to have heard.
He shows a contemplative expression and softly says:
"Alright... I believe you. First, undo this Body Seizing Technique."
"..."
The Blood Lotus Sect Leader takes a deep breath, seeming to gather all her strength, then grits her teeth and speaks:
"There is fundamentally... fundamentally no such thing as a Body Seizing Technique...
"I, I was lying to you earlier...
"She merely, merely got inflicted with a poisonous insect venom, which is called ’Other’s Heart Gu’.
"Once affected, one will be controlled by the poisoner.
"Every word and action are... are manipulated by them."
"Poisonous insect venom?"
Upon hearing this, Su Mo glanced at Little Situ.
Little Situ blinked, then hurried to check on Xuanyuan Xiaoshan.
Previously deceived by the Blood Lotus Sect Leader, she didn’t think about poison.
At this moment, she reached out to check the pulse, furrowing her brows for a little while before nodding:
"It’s indeed poisonous insect venom, very well hidden.
"Without prior knowledge, intentional probing would reveal clues.
"Otherwise, even with regular pulse checking, it would be extremely difficult to detect."
However, after saying this, both she and Su Mo were relieved.
It was merely poisonous insect venom, hard to stump Little Situ, and even harder to stump the Tenth Shock currently visiting Su Mo.
This person is an expert in poisonous insect venom.
But realizing this, it becomes unclear whether to easily kill the Blood Lotus Sect Leader.
If the poisoner of Other’s Heart Gu dies, Xuanyuan Xiaoshan would also perish, causing trouble.
However, Su Mo furrowed his brows slightly and asked again:
"How do you explain her Inner Strength then?"
"Using Other’s Heart Gu to control her meridian flow... not following the original martial arts’ Qi Flowing Skill, activating my... activating my Blood Lotus Sect’s... Divine Skill... that’s all..."
Upon reaching this point, the Blood Lotus Sect Leader’s teeth trembled:
"I’m... I’m close to failing... Quick, save me, save me... Once you save me, you can ask anything..."
Su Mo glanced at him twice, then looked at Lin Xiao’er sitting by the rock wall with a pale face, contemplating life.
"Young Hero... I dare ask, does this poison have an antidote?"
Lin Xiao’er seemed not to hear.
His mind was filled with the idea that the Blood Lotus Sect Leader is a man!
How can the Blood Lotus Sect Leader be a man?
If he’s a man, then for whom has he been toiling all these months?
Moreover, although his face is male, his figure is flat and lacks appeal...
But those hands are truly white.
The arms are slender, unlike the burly type of males.
Could it be... under these clothes, there’s more to discover?
With this thought, his eyes slowly began to sparkle...
Su Mo suddenly felt that Lin Xiao’er was about to go mad, gazing at the Blood Lotus Sect Leader with a lustful expression.
What’s he trying to do?
Even with Su Mo’s martial arts, he felt a chill run down his spine.
Immediately he shouted:
"Lin Xiao’er!!"
Lin Xiao’er awakened from this shout.
A shock to his system, recalling those thoughts made his face pale again.
He laboriously turned his head, looking at Su Mo with some gratitude for interrupting his fantasy:
"Why... why did you call me?"
His voice was mournful, as if he was the one struck by Heaven and Earth Cloud Rain Powder.
"...Does this poison have an antidote?"
Su Mo asked again.
Lin Xiao’er sighed:
"Why would a rapist prepare an antidote for his own poison?"
"..."
Su Mo considered this, realizing he couldn’t refute him.
It is indeed a fair point.
"How about... I go take a look?"
Seeing Su Mo troubled, Little Situ mustered considerable courage to speak.
Su Mo decisively shook his head:
"Even if he dies in front of us, spiraling into madness, you absolutely cannot step forward."
Little Situ suddenly felt pure joy in her heart.
Sweeter than honey or a meat bun, but couldn’t help but furrow her brow:
"But in doing so, Brother Su, the clues you worked hard to find will be lost again.
