Chapter 92: Preparing To Head To Diannan, The Mu Chen Pearl In The Tomb Of King Xian
Su Mo looked at Hu Ba Yi and Wang Pang Zi:
“Moreover, I knew Little Brother before I knew you, so there’s no problem with him being the Senior Disciple!”
Hearing this, Hu Ba Yi and Wang Pang Zi could only nod silently.
There was no point in them being unconvinced!
After all, Little Brother was much stronger than Hu Ba Yi and Wang Pang Zi in terms of age, how long he had known Su Mo, and his own abilities.
Therefore, his position as Senior Disciple was beyond doubt!
However, Little Brother himself remained unperturbed. After standing silently for a moment, he asked:
“…Master! That Wang Family member was handed over as well?”
Su Mo smiled faintly:
“Handed over to Buddha. They are skilled in interrogation, and likely know more secret histories of the Wang family than we do. It’s best for them to handle it!”
“Besides, I don’t think we’d get much out of interrogating this Wang Family member. It’s better to hand him over to Buddha as a way to return a favor!”
Zhang Qiling frowned:
“But, if the Wang Family member…”
He was worried that if Wang Family members continued to appear and secretly target Su Mo.
Su Mo smiled:
“Isn’t that perfect?”
From the very beginning, Su Mo’s strategy was to use himself as bait!
The Wang Family members are different from the Zhang Family. The Zhang Family has always lived in the old Zhang family mansion in the Northeast, and they live in a concentrated community. Capturing one Zhang Family member would lead to the location of the old Zhang family mansion.
But the Wang Family members went into hiding after Wang Canghai died, and they have no connection with each other, only communicating in extremely secret ways through indirect means.
This is why Su Mo handed over that Wang Family member to Zhang Qishan. Zhang Qishan knew about the Wang Family members even before the founding of the country and had more information than Su Mo. Interrogating him would surely yield more useful intelligence.
Su Mo did not fear the Wang Family members continuing to target him.
He possessed two Ghost Seals, and the Wang Family members would inevitably continue to target him, which was exactly what Su Mo wanted.
Since you Wang Family members are secretive and always hide in the shadows, I will openly use myself and the two Ghost Seals as bait. This will surely lure you out, and eventually, I will catch you through the clues you leave behind!
Hearing Su Mo’s words, Zhang Qiling quickly understood, and a hint of admiration appeared in his eyes:
“I understand!”
Chen Xia Zi chuckled:
“Master Su’s approach is indeed the best method! This old man has seen the Wang Family members’ methods as very strange. Just the method of making Black Flying Bugs is very similar to the Gu Technique of Diannan. These things are not only inhumane but also highly poisonous. You must all be extremely careful!”
Su Mo smiled slightly:
“It’s alright. Now Old Hu and Fatty, and the others, also have some Kirin Bloodline. This highly poisonous substance should not be a problem for them. We’ll rest for a couple of days, and once Zhang Qishan and the others finish their interrogation, we’ll prepare to depart for Diannan!”
…
The next day, Su Mo did not wait for Zhang Rishan and the others but instead saw Xue Li Yang.
Xue Li Yang had just gotten off the airplane but did not go to the Archaeology Institute. She came directly to Su Mo’s house.
Her expression was a little grim, and she looked worried.
Seeing her like this, Hu Ba Yi and Wang Pang Zi became concerned:
“Commander Yang, something didn’t happen to Professor Chen, did it?”
Xue Li Yang had gone abroad to treat Professor Chen’s illness, so when Hu Ba Yi and Wang Pang Zi saw her pale face, they thought Professor Chen might have had an accident.
But Xue Li Yang shook her head:
“Professor Chen is fine, but I might be in trouble…”
Su Mo glanced at her. He noticed that after not seeing her for a while, she seemed to have lost more weight, and her delicate eyebrows were etched with worry. He smiled and said:
“It’s just an extra eyeball pattern on your body. It’s no big deal. Old Hu and Fatty have them too. I’m planning to take them to resolve this matter in the next few days!”
Upon hearing this, Xue Li Yang immediately turned her worry into joy.
She had discovered a vivid red eyeball pattern on her back a few days ago, even earlier than Old Hu and the others.
She suspected that this eyeball pattern was likely related to the Jing Jue Ghost Cave, which had made her worried for the past few days.
Coincidentally, Professor Chen’s condition had stabilized, so she left him in the Beautiful Country to continue recuperating and returned to China herself.
Hearing Su Mo’s words, Xue Li Yang relaxed considerably.
“You plan to resolve this matter? How will you resolve it?”
Su Mo smiled faintly:
“Find the Mu Chen Pearl and throw it back into the Ghost Cave, and your curse will naturally be eliminated. I also need to go to Diannan to find some things!”
Xue Li Yang was surprised to hear this:
“You mean the Mu Chen Pearl is in Diannan?”
Su Mo nodded:
“This item should be in the Tomb of King Xian in Diannan. Old Hu and I are planning to head there in the next few days and have already started making preparations. We’ll set off as soon as you return!”
This morning, Su Mo had already asked Da Jin Ya and Hu Ba Yi to prepare some necessities for heading to the Tomb of King Xian, such as Black Donkey Hooves, canned alcohol, and an alcohol stove for starting fires in the wild, and so on.
In just one morning, Da Jin Ya and Hu Ba Yi had prepared these items and also acquired several German-made entrenching tools.
“We also know the exact location of the Tomb of King Xian. Mr. Chen gave me the human skin map with the marked location!”
After speaking, Su Mo took out the human skin map and handed it to Xue Li Yang.
Without this map, it would have been extremely difficult for them to find the Tomb of King Xian. Even with Su Mo’s Zi Wei Guan Xiang Fa and Great Yin Meditation Technique, it would have been very strenuous to find the location of the Tomb of King Xian in Zhelong Mountain.
But with this map, following the directions made things much easier.
Xue Li Yang’s eyes widened with both surprise and joy upon seeing the map:
“That’s great! With this map, finding the Tomb of King Xian will be much simpler!”
As they were speaking, the outside door opened, and Zhang Rishan walked in quickly, his expression very serious.
“Master Su, we sent people to interrogate him overnight yesterday, but unfortunately, we didn’t get much information!”
It turned out that after Buddha, Zhang Qishan, brought the thin, dark-skinned man back yesterday, he interrogated him. Buddha naturally had many methods of interrogation that did not require torture to elicit a confession.
However, this man was merely a Wang Family member responsible for raising Black Flying Bugs and knew nothing else about the Wang Family. He only knew that his direct contact was named Wang Hai!
The Wang Family members usually communicated using a waist token. For example, the old shopkeeper of the Stone Tablet Shop, due to his low status in the Wang Family, used a Black Iron Waist Token. This thin, dark-skinned man was responsible for raising Black Flying Bugs and using them to eliminate enemies and seize resources. His status was higher than the old shopkeeper, so he used a Bronze Waist Token.
His direct contact was of even higher status and used a Silver Waist Token.
The Wang Family members only relied on waist tokens to communicate with each other, so they knew very little about others’ information. Buddha and his men interrogated him all night, but only learned the methods for raising Black Flying Bugs and the Wang Family’s contact methods.
“Buddha asked me to tell you the result of the interrogation. He will arrange for someone to find this direct contact, Wang Hai, and to be extremely careful about everything!”
The result of the interrogation was largely as Su Mo had expected, so he was not too disappointed. He nodded and said:
“It’s alright. We are also preparing to leave the Capital City. If I get any information about the Wang Family members’ whereabouts, I will find a way to inform you!”
