Chapter 744: Chapter 315 Lord Jun_3
“The knowledge of the North Hall Master is astonishing, but from whence did he acquire such a divine skill and wonderful secret?”
“This skill was obtained from within the Da Xuan Ruins.
“Upon returning, thanks to the Great Hall Master’s benevolence, I was entrusted with the transfer of the cultivation technique.”
“I see.”
Su Mo smiled: “I’ve heard that since the Great Hall Master took his position, he has led his men to the Da Xuan Ruins several times to explore. What other discoveries have been made?”
“This…”
Bei Changzhi hesitated slightly before speaking: “What exactly was discovered, only the Great Hall Master is aware.
“As far as I know, aside from obtaining some medicinal recipes and pill prescriptions, one is our practiced martial arts. Another is a sword…”
“However, that sword is broken, only half remains.
“The Sword Qi is immensely powerful, it’s not an ordinary item, and it has characters engraved upon it that read: Tao (The Way).”
“You seem to be unclear on the rest… Why do you have such a clear memory of this sword?”
“…Because, with the rest, I’ve only heard through secondhand accounts.
“This sword, however, I have seen with my own eyes.”
With the discussion reaching this point, Bei Changzhi had nothing to hide anymore.
After listening, Su Mo appeared thoughtful: “Listening to hearsay? Does the North Hall Master remember anything in particular that he heard?
“Now that we have some leisure time, would the North Hall Master care to elaborate from the beginning?”
Bei Changzhi glanced at ’Wan Yutang’ and thought to himself that he could explain everything from the beginning, but the Great Hall Master likely couldn’t hold out much longer.
Seeing Su Mo’s demeanor, if things weren’t clarified, the Great Hall Master would only suffer more.
He had no choice but to say: “At that time, I had not yet taken over as the Second Hall Master, I was just a nobody in the Second Hall, serving under Hall Master Xiao.
“Hall Master Xiao had not yet disappeared and had followed the Great Hall Master to explore the Da Xuan Ruins several times.
“Most of what I heard came from Hall Master Xiao.
“He said… the Great Hall Master has an eye for talent, indeed finding a formidable expert for the exploration of the Da Xuan Ruins, which proved to be highly fruitful.
“However, sometimes Hall Master Xiao seemed very worried and distressed.
“At that time, I was insignificant, and dared not inquire further.
“But one day, it seemed that Hall Master Xiao encountered some troubles, drank a few extra cups, and inadvertently revealed a few words.
“He said that this ’Lord Jun’ had a mysterious origin and knew deeply of the Da Xuan Ruins, unsettling him.
“He advised a few words, but to his unexpected, the Great Hall Master simply wouldn’t listen.
“Later on, when I inquired again, Hall Master Xiao refused to elaborate.
“He only mentioned that some crucial Pill Prescriptions were found in the Da Xuan Ruins, and he was unsure how the Great Hall Master would deal with them.
“Additionally, a fragment of a page from either the Heavenly Palace Record or the Bao Gong Record was obtained.
“The Great Hall Master wanted to conduct extensive civil engineering works…
“But the matter ended there, and for over a year thereafter, there was no further movement within the hall.
“Afterward, Hall Master Xiao suddenly disappeared, and the Vice Hall Master met with an unexpected death.
“During the turbulent times of the Second Hall, the Great Hall Master unexpectedly appointed me as the Second Hall Master.
“Bei Changzhi was fully aware of his lesser martial arts and felt the heavy responsibility was too great, yet the Great Hall Master encouraged me greatly.
“He even agreed to take me to the Da Xuan Ruins for exploration.”
“Was that when you found that broken sword named ’Tao’?”
“Exactly.”
Su Mo asked: “Apart from you, which other Hall Masters were present on that trip?”
“None.”
Bei Changzhi shook his head: “Among the Twelfth Hall Masters, I was the only one present.
“Other than that, the Great Hall Master had somehow found some capable men, all with outstanding martial arts skills. The expedition was very smooth both in process and outcome.
“It was after this trip that the Great Hall Master passed on to me two Divine Skills, and through years of arduous cultivation, I achieved what I have today.”
“Does the North Hall Master know about the Endless Prison?”
Su Mo inquired once more.
Bei Changzhi shook his head again: “I’ve never heard of it. Everything Bei Changzhi says is the truth; please, Lord Su, cease the torture of the Great Hall Master!”
Upon hearing this, Su Mo nodded: “Thank you for explaining, North Hall Master.”
As he finished speaking, he exhaled softly, glanced at ’Wan Yutang’, and then gently tapped on his body.
’Wan Yutang’ suddenly took a deep breath, instinctively shrinking back, like a bird startled by the twang of a bow.
Su Mo smiled: “Is the Great Hall Master still well?”
“…I’m not the Great Hall Master, I’m not the Great Hall Master!”
’Wan Yutang’ promptly exclaimed: “Please, let me go, no, you can kill me, just don’t torture me with that method again.”
“Hmm?”
Su Mo’s eyebrows raised: “Of course, I know you’re not the Great Hall Master. You’re that Lord Jun, right?”
“No, I am not Lord Jun!”
’Wan Yutang’ quickly said: “My name is Cao Ming, I am not Lord Jun.
“It was…
“It was Lord Jun…
“It was Lord Jun, Jun Luo!
“He said he would give me a grand wealth, letting me become the Great Hall Master.
“From then on, I could control the entire Wusheng Hall, with the power of life and death in my hands!
“Moreover, I could cultivate an unparalleled martial arts, and rise above all!
“But… but I really am not Jun Luo, Lord Su, please see clearly, see clearly!!”
“Cao Ming?”
Bei Changzhi was stunned: “Who is Cao Ming? You… where did you take the real Great Hall Master?”
“It wasn’t me, it wasn’t me!”
Cao Ming hurriedly said: “It was Lord Jun, he was the one who imprisoned the Great Hall Master in the Endless Prison.
“It wasn’t me who did all this!”
“…Is there really an Endless Prison?”
Bei Changzhi was utterly confused: “How could this be?”
Su Mo and others exchanged glances and sighed softly.
It turned out that Su Mo was right not to act rashly last night; it now appeared that the identity of the Great Hall Master indeed had another mystery.
If Su Mo had acted impulsively last night, it would have certainly startled the enemy.
Immediately, Su Mo smiled: “Speak, explain the whole story clearly from start to finish.”
“Yes… yes.”
Cao Ming was utterly terrified of Su Mo’s Suffering People Scripture.
The torment endured in such a short period was unimaginable.
It was a chasm more terrifying than Hell, an experience he never wanted to endure again in his life.
He settled his mind slightly before speaking: “I, a minor character named Cao Ming, a street performer from Minghu County…”
