Su Mo glanced back at Lord Zimu and the expert from Dark Dragon Hall.

But the two did not answer him.

Or rather, these two could not move at all now, as if even rotating their eyeballs required all their strength.

Su Mo chuckled:

“Forgotten, you both are currently savoring the flavor of the Suffering People Scripture, hence can’t answer me.

“Well… but, the time is about right…

“Therefore, let’s start from Lord Zimu.”

He flicked his fingers, and Lord Zimu took a deep breath, then flipped around and got up.

Bean-sized beads of sweat dripped down, and in an instant, his calm eyes were filled with blood.

“Lord Zimu?”

Su Mo’s voice reached his ears.

He reflexively turned his head, and upon seeing Su Mo, his whole body shivered.

He wished to turn and run, but not to mention Su Mo, the means that the Dark Dragon Hall had used on him made it impossible for him to escape.

For a moment, apart from terror, he had no other thoughts.

Then he noticed an object flying through the air.

Instinctively wanting to dodge, he heard Su Mo say:

“Catch it.”

On any other day, saying this would be pointless.

Without seeing clearly what the object was, rashly reaching out to catch it, such a person wouldn’t last long in the Jianghu…

What if it was Xizhou Fire God Oil or poisonous scorpions and insects that were being thrown over?

Yet at this moment…

Lord Zimu dared not disobey!

Even if upon catching this object, he would immediately collapse and die.

Better that than enduring the pain he suffered just now.

He hurriedly extended his hand and took hold of that object in his palm.

Feeling a scorching pain pass from his palm to his heart.

His heart trembled… It was indeed something sinister!

Then he heard Su Mo ask in surprise:

“Not hot?”

“Ah?”

Lord Zimu was stunned, looked down, and then realized that what he held was not at all a malicious item?

It was merely a baked sweet potato, thoroughly cooked.

Now he had almost crushed it in his grip…

Promptly releasing it, he began juggling it between his hands, his face turning red from the heat.

Su Mo shook his head:

“Alright, just throw it away. On the way here, I saw these sweet potatoes growing well.

“Dug a few casually, and indeed they’re quite large. There are some left here.

“Just unsure if that old man could see the silver coin I left behind…”

He casually picked up another one, broke it in half, and tossed it to Lord Zimu.

Lord Zimu hurriedly caught it, this time putting it down to let it cool for a moment, but couldn’t help but glance at Su Mo:

“You… why?”

“Why invite you to eat sweet potato?”

Su Mo smiled and said, “I have many things I wish to ask Lord Zimu.

“However, speaking without anything in hand tends to be boring.

“Since there are sweet potatoes to accompany us, why not?”

“…”

Lord Zimu sighed, although Su Mo gave him a sweet potato to eat, it did not mean Su Mo truly harbored goodwill towards him.

From the methods used earlier, three parts could be inferred.

Replying truthfully to Su Mo’s questions now, he could at least stay in this room eating baked sweet potatoes while avoiding the torrential downpour outside.

Otherwise, the agony akin to Nine Netherworld Purgatory would return once more.

There would be no escape from it.

Immediately taking a deep breath:

“Whatever you want to ask, just say it…

“I don’t ask for you to spare my life, just that you give me a swift end.”

Su Mo nodded: “Though your identities are different, what you say is remarkably similar.

“In that case, let’s not waste time.

“I will start with the first question…

“What is your purpose in wanting the Ximen Family’s Sea Map?”

“!!”

Lord Zimu’s expression changed: “You came just for this?”

“Seems there are other situations I don’t know within?”

Su Mo laughed softly: “No need to worry, the night is long and the sweet potatoes are enough, we can discuss slowly?”

“This…”

Lord Zimu wished he could slap himself twice.

Those words falling into the ears of ordinary people may mean nothing.

But the person before him was clearly not ordinary, once these words were said, it was tantamount to self-exposure.

Indicating there was hidden matters in his heart.

He couldn’t help but sigh deeply:

“After today, there will be no more of me, Lord Zimu, in this world.”

Even if Su Mo didn’t kill him, Seven Killings Hall would certainly not allow him to live.

Might as well take the sweet potato from the ground, biting into it fiercely, though it still burnt his mouth, it was fragrant and delicious, truly a earthly delicacy.

Swallowing a bite, he then said:

“Wanting the Sea Map is to go to Cui Xin Temple.”

As soon as the words Cui Xin Temple were spoken, Su Mo’s previous speculations were finally confirmed thoroughly.

And with Lord Zimu having opened up, the rest was no longer held back:

“In Cui Xin Temple, there’s an item called the Mysterious Mechanism.

“What the Mysterious Mechanism is, surely you must know, right?”

“Hmm.”

Su Mo nodded: “The key to Da Xuan’s Armory, known across the land. Just didn’t expect, even now, some people are still pursuing it?”

Moreover, Lord Zimu was mistaken.

What’s in Cui Xin Temple is not the Mysterious Mechanism.

Rather, it’s the Xin Luo Umbrella.

But, that’s not important, the other party doesn’t need to know.

“Heh…”

Lord Zimu grinned:

“Still people pursuing?

“Your martial arts are extraordinary, yet you think like an ordinary Jianghu person, considering Da Xuan’s Armory just a legend?

“Actually, over the centuries, the open and clandestine struggles arising from this matter are far beyond what ordinary Jianghu people can imagine.

“The perils within are moreover shocking at every step.

“Setting aside other things, just this Cui Xin Temple…there’s yet another place currently…”

He said this, initially not wanting to mention Dark Dragon Hall, but turned and saw that expert from Dark Dragon Hall still struggling bitterly within Suffering People Scripture, hence sighed:

“Currently, there are people from Dark Dragon Hall keeping a strict watch over Cui Xin Temple’s location.

“The Ximen Family has probed their ancestral place several times, but being rather perceptive, sensed the danger then dared not approach again.

“In turn preserving their lives…

“However at that time, neither Dark Dragon Hall nor our Seven Killings Hall knew…

“To find the deepest secret within Cui Xin Temple, it’s truly the Ximen Family’s Jade Crown Quenching Heart Scripture that’s needed!”

With that said, he smiled slightly:

“So, do you understand? We’re not after the Sea Map… but Ximen Huai!”
