The object that flew out from the Evil Law Elder's chest was, at first glance, a round, black, spherical mass.

Upon closer inspection, it had a round shape but was flat in size.

It retained no trace of blood and dropped into the Cold Pond while rolling.

Su Mo was about to reach out to retrieve it but saw that the moment this object made contact with the Cold Pond Water,

the icy pond water instantly froze into ice.

"Oh?"

Su Mo was taken aback and immediately shook his sleeve, striking down with an open hand.

With a cracking sound, the ice surrounding the object shattered, and then Su Mo's fingers formed a claw, grabbing it in the void.

The thing immediately flew whistling toward Su Mo.

But before it could get close, Su Mo's force suddenly changed, sending it back to the Old Man's chest.

Half of it embedded into his heart's position.

Upon closer inspection, he found that the Old Man was not frozen by this object.

Only then did he extend a finger to touch it; it felt icy cold but did not have the freezing effect.

Unexpectedly confused, he reached out and took it out; it was heavy, with a front and a back.

The front was as reflective as a mirror, while the back had a dragon's head in relief, exceedingly ferocious. In the center of this dragon's brow were three small words: Dragon King Mirror!

"Is it a mirror?"

Little Situ was somewhat astonished: "How could this thing replace a heart?"

Su Mo looked at the mirror and fell into deep thought.

He couldn't understand why, but looking at this mirror made him think of the White Tiger.

Inside the White Tiger's body, an organ was indeed missing.

Instead, it was replaced by the Holy Artifact of the White Tiger Clan.

By doing this, they nurtured the Holy Artifact, preventing its damage from spreading further.

Yet, the White Tiger did not die because of this.

However, firstly, what it lost was not its heart, and secondly, it could survive because it had grown up in front of the Holy Artifact, influenced by it year after year.

In the beginning, those tigers that served as 'Containers' were not so lucky.

It was the only tiger in hundreds of years able to hide the Holy Artifact without dying prematurely.

Then, what was special about the body of the person before them?

Su Mo carefully examined this person's body.

Previously unnoticed, a close examination indeed revealed many incongruities.

The body's age was in its prime, yet the skin on the upper body where it joined the head had distinct differences.

Su Mo crossed his arms and looked at the body and listened to the old man's head mumbling on about something, which no longer concerned Su Mo much.

His brow gradually furrowed:

"Dragon King Mirror, Extreme Cold Inner Power, a master's body, an old man's head…

"Based on the three words 'Dragon King Mirror', I feel there's reason to suspect this item originates from the Dragon King Hall.

"This body is adept in Extreme Cold Inner Power, possibly derived from there.

If one were to say, years ago, a master from the Dragon King Hall carrying the Dragon King Mirror arrived on this island.

He nevertheless became trapped here, not only losing his life but also having his head taken away, and his body given to an old man.

"Do you think this makes sense?"

Little Situ was silent for a while:

"It indeed makes sense…"

She wanted to say, but this kind of thing was too unrealistic.

However... such an unrealistic scene was already happening in front of her, leaving her no choice but to believe it.

Besides, how could Su Mo remain so calm in dealing with everything occurring in front of him and even still ponder the truth of past years?

Little Situ felt as though her head might soon be lost.

Constantly feeling as if in the chilling underground, a madman might appear at any moment to sever her head and exchange it with someone else.

Just thinking about it sent chills down her spine.

At this moment, Su Mo extended his hand, pointing to the location of the chest of this body:

"Little Situ, this body has two wounds.

"The first is on the neck, presumably from performing the Head Swapping Technique.

"The second is on the chest, where the Dragon King Mirror is housed.

"But there is a distinct difference...

"The wound on the neck has healed.

"As a doctor, why do you think the wound on the chest hasn't healed?"

Hearing Su Mo ask this, Little Situ quickly patted her face lightly to make herself a bit more alert.

Although the events in front of her could almost make one's jaw drop.

But now was evidently not the time to be shocked.

Since Su Mo had questions and needed her input, she had to provide relevant opinions.

And such opinions scarcely required thought, she spoke right away:

"Perhaps because, at the time, the body no longer possessed the ability to heal."

"What kind of person would lack the ability to heal?"

"Someone with a rare ailment, or perhaps..."

Little Situ paused thoughtfully, then uttered two words: "A dead person."

Su Mo nodded: "Just as I thought, let alone the rare ailment. Talking solely about a dead person...

"Why do you think someone would want to swap heads?"

Little Situ glanced at Su Mo, finding that merely asking such questions was quite disconcerting.

She shook her head: "Everyone has different thoughts, the spiel from that lantern-carrying old man probably explained it all.

"Because they felt their own bodies weren't good enough!"

"Exactly, so they needed the arms of a swordsmanship expert, the legs of a footwork master, the fingers of a finger skill expert."

Su Mo said softly: "In this way, they created a creature distinct from humans...Evil Law.
