There's no need to play mind games in front of Su Mo.
Glancing over the two people, Su Mo suddenly smiled:
"What? When the moment comes, are you reluctant to die?
"In that case, let me send you on your way."
The two of them simultaneously had a drastic change of expression. Just now, they said killing us would dirty your hands, and now you're doing it yourself?
Instead, they saw Su Mo sitting serenely, merely raising his hand, and a faint Dragon Roar resounded as a giant purple handprint emerged from his palm.
In a flash, it was already in front of them.
The two exchanged glances, unable to care about anything else. The handprint hadn't touched them, but they already felt intense, searing heat.
The burning sensation on their skin was producing a faint charred aroma. If it hit them, how could they bear it?
Without thinking, they each drew a saber.
Blades in the palm, one slashed horizontally, the other chopped vertically.
The two blades instantly crossed paths, colliding with Su Mo's Ziyang Divine Palm.
Amidst the intertwining forces, a fierce gale swept through the entire hall, with the scattered Blade Qi slicing the nearby chairs in half.
Yet the faces of this pair of brother and sister didn't look good.
The blades in their hands were almost impossible to hold.
One hand could only wield the blade while the other pressed against the wrist of their wielding hand for support.
However, this was of no use.
The handprint burned like the scorching sun, with Pure Yang Inner Power invading their bodies through the blade with irresistible force.
In just a moment, blood seeped from the corners of their mouths.
Should this standstill continue, they feared they'd die under this palm.
They were speechless internally.
To journey through Jianghu in Donghuang, dying as soon as they entered Donghuang truly was a colossal joke.
No matter their thoughts, their Inner Strength was depleted, gradually running out. Ultimately, each sighed and readied to accept their fate.
Yet the next moment, the handprint before them suddenly dispersed like the wind.
"Has he run out of Inner Strength too?"
The siblings looked at each other, sensing an opportunity.
They turned to flee instantly, but the brief confrontation had already drained them of strength.
Now, even if they wished to leave, their legs were too weak to take a step.
"Hmm, your Inner Strength is not bad."
In the next moment, they heard Su Mo's calm voice:
"May I ask, which esteemed teacher's disciples might you be?
"Speak up, to avoid any misunderstanding."
"This..."
Both were slightly stunned. It wasn't hard to imagine their ordinary selves.
How could Su Mo at this age possibly know their master?
But having been shocked by Su Mo's palm, they thought if Su Mo indeed recognized their master, then not only could they escape, they might even find a patron.
In an instinctive reply:
"Our master is Canglan Divine Blade. Might senior be acquainted with our master?"
They then saw Su Mo gently shake his head:
"I reside quietly in Donghuang, never setting foot in Nanhai, so I truly don't know this Canglan Divine Blade.
"Nonetheless, since you report such a title, when I go to Nanhai one day, it won't be difficult to inquire."
Hearing this, they immediately felt disheartened.
Now, not only have they stumbled here, but even their master might be implicated.
Judging by this man's demeanor, it seemed he hadn't even used his full strength with that palm just now.
Such martial arts, even if their master came personally, would be futile.
With a brief hesitation, they spoke:
"This... senior, it's our fault for offending, but it's unrelated to our master. We humbly beg your mercy, senior.
"We siblings are willing to accept punishment without complaint."
Upon hearing this, Su Mo smiled at Yang Xiaoyun:
"Lady, see? They seem much more sincere now."
Yang Xiaoyun gently shook her head:
"Don't tease them any further."
After pausing briefly, Yang Xiaoyun looked at the two and said softly:
"Friends, the Ziyang Escort Agency is not just any place. My husband, in this Donghuang Jianghu, holds some sway.
"Jianghu friends flatter us by calling him the top martial artist in Donghuang.
"He never dared to claim such a title himself.
"However, since the title has been called, he can't let his reputation fall.
"Nor let others tarnish it.
"What you two did today was indeed excessive.
"If this slap were to truly be lifted and let go lightly, Ziyang Escort would lose face publicly.
"But killing you over this seems unnecessary too.
"Now then, let me ask, are you truly from Nanhai?"
Yang Xiaoyun's reasoning was clear, and even if the brother and sister wanted to argue, they had nothing to say, only nodding:
"We indeed came from Nanhai."
"Hmm."
Yang Xiaoyun nodded slightly, smiling as she said:
"In that case, it becomes easier.
"My husband runs the escort agency in Donghuang and always wants to expand this business.
"Although he knows a little about the paths on Nanhai, it's not detailed.
"Especially concerning the Nanhai martial world, he only knows some repetitive stories.
"If you can share some of your insights from Nanhai with us,
"I can speak well of you, possibly turning a big problem into a small one, or resolving it completely."
"This... thank you, madam."
They clasped their fists in salute, but as they tried to speak, words failed them.
"With so many thoughts, it's hard to know where to start."
"Just tell us if there are any interesting rumors from Nanhai in recent years?"
"This..."
Exchanging glances, they nodded:
"The Jianghu never lacks rumors, and as for Nanhai, stories about the Dragon King Hall, Gui Xu Island, and Nanhai Alliance are always plentiful.
"However, recently there's been a supposedly true yet uncertain story..."
As the woman paused to think, she continued:
"I heard that recently, a large ship traveled from Donghuang to Nanhai.
"Onboard were the top martial artists of Jianghu and the most beautiful women.
"There were also countless Divine Skill Secret Books, and... unimaginable treasures!
"If anyone could seize this ship, everything on board would be theirs."
