Immediately, he slightly raised his brows. It seemed that his subordinates had not completely abandoned him after all.

They came back to Su Mo to ask for him.

In his heart, he felt both joy and worry. The joy was that his subordinates were indeed good to him and hadn't abandoned their boss.

The worry was not knowing how Su Mo would respond?

After talking through the night with the two disciples of the Canglan Divine Blade yesterday, he only then realized Su Mo's prowess.

This Donghuang's foremost expert was top-notch in both martial arts and cunning.

He seemed young, but in reality, he was insidious and cunning, coupled with supreme martial arts skills.

If his people had done something that Su Mo could latch on to, not only he would fall into the trap, but those on the ship would also have no chance to survive.

While he was lost in thought, he saw Su Mo.

However, Su Mo's expression wasn't particularly pleasant.

After seeing him, Su Mo simply clasped his hands together:

"My condolences, Lord Zeng."

"???"

With just one sentence, Zeng Chou was dumbfounded: "Did you do it?"

This Donghuang's number one expert, could it be that when his men came to find him, he directly killed everyone on the ship?

Su Mo was also taken aback:

"It has nothing to do with me."

After speaking, both of them understood each other's meaning.

Zeng Chou's face instantly changed, quickly looking towards his ship, while Su Mo grabbed his shoulder and leaped onto that ship.

Sure enough, there were still bloodstains on the deck.

Walking towards the cabin, they saw that it was filled with corpses.

Zeng Chou's face was so dark that it seemed it could drip water. He checked each room, searching up and down the ship.

Finally standing dazedly on the deck, not knowing what to say.

At this moment, Wang Chengying, Ding Luo, and others also arrived on the ship.

Seeing the situation on the ship.

Everyone was speechless.

Wang Chengying couldn't help but sigh:

"Lord Zeng is truly fortunate."

"..."

Zeng Chou understood what he meant.

The way his subordinates died on the ship was exactly like what Zeng Chou described yesterday about the Qixue Sword's killings.

And if it was indeed that person's doing, even the Hanhai Gang's Gang Leader couldn't withstand it, so how could Zeng Chou face such a foe?

If Su Mo hadn't captured him, there would have been just another corpse on this ship today.

But seeing the pirate group he had painstakingly built over the years turned into corpses, how could Zeng Chou feel at ease?

After many twists and turns in thought, he took a deep breath and suddenly looked at Su Mo.

"Su, the Chief of the Escort, may I ask if you have any method to control others?"

The question was abrupt, and Su Mo didn't quite understand it at first.

Zeng Chou then said softly:

"It doesn't matter what method...

"I don't know why you captured me, but if it was to kill me, you can do it now.

"If you don't intend to kill...

"Then I cannot remain trapped by you.

"My brothers all died unjustly, and I cannot just leave it at that.

"I implore Chief Su to let me investigate this matter!

"No matter what, I must avenge them.

"After the matter is settled, regardless of the outcome, I will return to accept my fate before Chief Su.

"If Chief Su doubts my word, if there are any poisons or martial skills that can control others.

"Then feel free to use them on me."

"Oh?"

Su Mo looked Zeng Chou up and down for a moment, then suddenly smiled:

"Okay."

As he spoke, he took out a medicine bottle from his robe, opened it, and produced a pill, handing it to Zeng Chou:

"This elixir is called the Three Days of Pain.

"After consumption, it acts once every six months, causing extreme pain.

"It takes a full three days for the pain to subside.

"But until now, no one has endured the effects until it faded because they died from the sheer agony before that.

"Have you considered whether you want to take it?"

Zeng Chou slightly furrowed his brows and swallowed the pill.

Su Mo saw this clearly, knowing the other did not feign it.

Gently nodding:

"Alright… The medicine activates upon entry, now let you experience it firsthand."

As he spoke, he lightly brushed the edge of Zeng Chou's palm.

Instantly, intense pain coursed through him.

Zeng Chou immediately collapsed to the ground.

His tall and straight stature was always erect, but now, he was in such a state for the first time.

Wang Chengying and others exchanged glances, feeling rather frightened.

Su Mo then took out another elixir from his robe and placed it in Zeng Chou's mouth.

Once the elixir entered, Su Mo swiped the edge of his palm again, erasing all the pain instantly.

Zeng Chou, still shaken, looked towards Su Mo.

Hearing Su Mo say:

"Just now was a mere taste, giving you the antidote directly.

"However, the effect lasts only six months.

"If you don't come to find me or I discover you lied to me within six months.

"Then when it's time, quietly endure the Three Days of Pain.

"Even if you withstand it, occurring twice a year, who knows how many years you can endure it?"

Zeng Chou immediately nodded: "Alright, thank you Chief Su for granting the elixir."

"Mm…"

Su Mo pondered slightly: "Then you may leave now."

As the words fell, Su Mo released his acupoints.

"Goodbye…"

Zeng Chou clasped his fists together, casting a glance at Wang Chengying and the others, and sighed:
