Who is this man, and whence he came, even the Yin Mountain Ghost Lord knows not.
Yet his martial arts are so profound that even the Yin Mountain Ghost Lord, had he not been grievously injured in bygone years, would admit he is no match.
After a bout, he thought to close his eyes and await death, but unexpectedly, not only did he survive, he was offered a chance.
A chance to purge the Sword Qi from their bodies.
“You believe him just because he spoke of a chance?”
Su Mo couldn’t help but interject upon hearing this.
“Humph, even a youngster like you with limited experience should have heard of the Poison Dragon Pill,” sneered the Yin Mountain Ghost Lord.
“Poison Dragon Pill?”
The three words instantly transformed the expressions of everyone present.
Yang Xiaoyun’s brows furrowed, “Is it the Healing Holy Item known as the Poison Dragon Pill, which was said to cure all injuries under heaven, concocted by the Poison Dragon Son, famed for his unparalleled Medical Skill and Poison Skill, from over a hundred potent toxins?”
“Humph, indeed it is that very item!”
Upon hearing this, the people present understood why the Yin Mountain Ghost Lord, who had not been seen in Jianghu for a decade while concealing his injuries to heal, would suddenly risk roaming the Jianghu.
If it is indeed the Poison Dragon Pill, not only could it heal the Yin Mountain Ghost Lord’s internal injuries, it might even help him advance further…
All because the Poison Dragon Son was a truly remarkable figure in the past.
A master of both medical and poison skills, where his Poison Skill is used, it permeates with the breeze into the night, with rain silently nourishing, and in an instant, he could poison a hundred people.
Some say if he wished, he could easily claim the lives of an entire city’s populace overnight.
But what truly delighted the masses was his Medical Skill.
Despite the fear his Poison Skill inspired, he was not cruel. On the contrary, he liked to bestow medical aid and often offered free treatments to the public while roaming the Jianghu.
Even when a Jianghu master was injured, if they encountered him, he would not turn them away, nor did he follow any protocols such as ‘three cases treated, three refused.’
He always helped if he could, and thus, despite his terrifying Poison Skill, he was considered an upstanding member of the Righteous Path of Jianghu.
Sadly, no one knows why he later faded into obscurity.
There were various rumors about him in Jianghu – some said he retired from Jianghu and no longer involved himself in worldly affairs.
Others guessed he healed the wrong person and was killed for it.
Even more speculative was the rumor that he found the way to immortality through his understanding of poison and medicine, and thus retreated into mountains and desolate lands in search of the path to become an Immortal…
No matter which rumor, it was undeniable that he truly possessed the skill to bring the dead back to life and mend broken bones.
Therefore, the elixirs he left behind were wildly sought after by the Jianghu people.
Among these, the Three Poison Pills were held in the highest esteem, and the Poison Dragon Pill was one of them.
It was a true rarity, worth its weight in gold, and not something one could come by easily.
…
…
Continuing his story, the Yin Mountain Ghost Lord spoke.
That day, the man simply revealed the Poison Dragon Pill, its authenticity still unknown, only telling them that if they wanted the Pill to save their lives, they should gather on the fifth of June at the Seeking Mysterious Valley in Fen Hui Mountain.
After speaking, the man turned and left without waiting for the Yin Mountain Ghost Lord’s response.
After long consideration, the Yin Mountain Ghost Lord decided to take the risk, but little did he expect that on the fifth of June, the Seeking Mysterious Valley of Fen Hui Mountain would be a meeting place for a congregation of villains!
“Yet no one knows who that person really is, to have gathered a group of barbaric and vicious figures from the evil paths of Jianghu.

“The Routou Monk, Taoist Shixin, Yang Zhongjun… Any one of them is a force not to be underestimated in Donghuang. Whosoever leaked the information, would be relentlessly pursued and blockaded by those of the Righteous Path, who would not rest until they are killed.
“That person has rallied such a group of demons and monsters surely for no small scheme; however, amidst their discussion, they did not disclose the details, merely mentioning that they were to accomplish a grand task.
“It requires collective effort from all to succeed, and once the deed is complete, from then on, they no longer need to live in fear of the Righteous Path’s shadow, fretfully and restlessly.
“Heh… but we brothers don’t buy that. If it wasn’t for the Poison Dragon Pill, who would bother with such a thieving scoundrel?”
The Yin Mountain Ghost Lord sneered coldly: “Afterward, he assigned tasks to each one of us, and the task given to me… as you now know. He promised me that as long as I bring this little one from the Luoxing Sect back, the Poison Dragon Pill would be handed to me. But unexpectedly, troubles arose out of nowhere, with the two of you younglings emerging and sabotaging my grand plan… It really is a matter of timing and fate!”
At this point, the speech finally came to an end.
Albeit the amount of information revealed by this speech was indeed considerable.
Su Mo glanced at Cheng Feiyu: “Brother Cheng, do you have anything else to ask?”
“…No, no more.”
Cheng Feiyu quickly shook his head, his mind still processing those names.
The Routou Monk, Taoist Shixin, Yang Zhongjun…
Each and every one of them a giant scourge on the evil path, with countless lives on their hands. Who exactly possesses such immense divine powers to have gathered so many in one place?
And what is this grand scheme they are plotting?
As he was thinking, he heard the Yin Mountain Ghost Lord speak: “Young man, I have told you everything truthfully, I hope you will honor your promise and not go back on your word, lest you disgrace our corpses.”
“Of course.”
Su Mo nodded.
“There’s one more thing…”
The Yin Mountain Ghost Lord looked at the three corpses beside him, a tint of sadness flashing in his eyes: “In life, my brothers and I shared the same coffin; in death, the same grave. If you are willing, you can bury us together. If not, could you place us all in the same coffin? Walking the path of Huangquan Road together, hand in hand, is better than a lonely journey for one.”
“That’s even less troublesome.”
There are coffins available right here in Yizhuang, very convenient.
“Hahaha, good!”
The Yin Mountain Ghost Lord laughed heartily: “Come on!”
Without hesitation, Su Mo’s hand swung in a reversing palm strike right against his crown, and with a surge of Inner Strength, the crown shattered instantaneously. The Yin Mountain Ghost Lord’s head slumped, devoid of any signs of life.
Seeing this, Yang Xiaoyun let out a gentle sigh: “Although the Yin Mountain Ghost Lord was not a figure of the Righteous Path and his hands are stained with blood debts, the depth of brotherhood he showed is indeed precious.”
Hearing this, Su Mo glanced at Yang Xiaoyun thoughtfully and nodded in agreement.
Then, he went deep into the backyard, found an empty coffin, and put all four corpses of the Yin Mountain Ghost Lord into it.
By then, the rain outside had already stopped.
Su Mo, carrying the coffin with one hand, brought it out to the courtyard. He took a piece of charcoal fire, threw it onto the coffin, and with a sweep of his hand, a mighty blaze roared into being.
“This…”
Lou Jingjing was taken aback, wanting to speak, but Cheng Feiyu stopped her.
Lou Jingjing subconsciously lowered her head: “But you said that you wouldn’t dishonor the corpses…”
But seeing that Yang Xiaoyun also remained silent, after a moment, she closed her mouth.
And at that moment, from within the raging flames, a scream suddenly emerged:
“You broke your word and set fire to our corpses!!!”
