"But obviously, this isn't their goal.

"They want to become stronger.

"The Head Swapping Technique is the same.

"It's meant to give someone a brand new physique, thereby even allowing the use of Extreme Cold Inner Power.

"Judging from the first wound, the Head Swapping Technique was clearly successful.

"The wound has healed, and the body is fully functional.

"But later, perhaps there was a problem.

"By the time they embedded the Dragon King Mirror into the person's chest, the person had... already died."

As he said this, he shook his head:

"Maybe that's not quite right...

"He wasn't completely dead; at least from the current situation, his head is still alive."

Little Situ increasingly felt that Su Mo's words were not about real logic, nor an exploration of the truth.

They were more like telling a fantastical ghost story.

Coupled with the eerie atmosphere of the place, it made Little Situ feel a chill.

But he couldn't tell if this chill came from within his heart or from the surrounding environment.

Su Mo's words continued:

"And after this person died, for reasons unknown.

"They embedded the Dragon King Mirror into this person's body.

"And then locked him here.

"Judging from this, perhaps they locked him here before they embedded the Dragon King Mirror.

"It's true... the Evil Law lacks reason, we can tell from the putrid smell emanating from their bodies that their bodies actually accommodate both 'life and death.'

"Their consciousness has already completely collapsed, becoming monsters that only know how to kill.

"But the dominant part of the body must be alive, while the connecting parts have partially died.

"The inability to prevent the dead parts from rotting, that's because they are in a normal temperature.

"But here, it's obvious that it can keep the body from decaying.

"And this unknown person remains in this undead state, in this place, for countless years.

"But... why spend so much effort on him?

"What's the purpose of this?

"Who exactly could this person be?"

Though Su Mo said this, he already had an answer in his mind.

But currently, without any conclusive clues, he did not express it.

Little Situ couldn't help but ask:

"Brother Su, who do you think he could be?"

"Perhaps someone can tell us."

Su Mo smiled: "That person also used Extreme Cold Inner Power, earlier this Evil Law..."

As he was speaking, the old man's head, which had been endlessly repeating the same words, suddenly fell silent.

Su Mo and Little Situ were startled and turned to look, his head had drooped down.

Black liquid flowed from his seven orifices.

Little Situ examined it briefly, then said softly:

"Dead..."

When she said these two words, there was a hint of reluctance.

It felt strange.

The person's body was clearly dead, the only evidence of life earlier was the constant talking of the head.

A person whose body died, but the head lived.

To confirm that this person was truly dead, it actually required a double-check.

This was completely illogical.

Su Mo quickly said:

"Porcelain bottle."

Little Situ hurriedly took out a porcelain bottle from her embrace, Su Mo opened it and filled it with the black liquid.

After a brief contemplation, he placed it in his arms:

"In the coming days, you will be quite busy."

"Research this medicine liquid?"

Little Situ smiled, it wasn't much trouble.

She was also very curious about it, this substance must be a peculiar Elixir crafted by combining various herbs.

Earlier, when the black liquid hadn't appeared, the elderly was still full of fighting spirit.

When Su Mo forced the black liquid out of him, he instantly lost all will to act.

So no matter from which perspective, this black liquid most likely is the key to maintaining the life-death state of Evil Law.

Su Mo nodded lightly, looking around the vicinity again, and checked the old man once more.

After ensuring nothing was overlooked, he carried Little Situ away from there.

They'd been busy all night, it was about time to find a way out.

Beyond the Ghost Vine Cave were many secrets, needing meticulous exploration.

Not to mention other things, just the so-called Heavenly Tablet, they haven't even seen it yet.

And this cave, although it seems isolated from the world.

But with the ice ridges above, where corpses of Longmu Island disciples hung, and so many Cold Jades by the Cold Pond.

It indicated that there's another way to exit here.

Otherwise, just looking at the disciples of Longmu Island, dropping from the mechanism, they absolutely wouldn't die at the edge of the Cold Pond.

They'd be smashed to death directly.

So Su Mo didn't plan to return the way they came, as prying open the trap from beneath the steel plate would break it.

But along this path, Little Situ really struggled to keep silent.

She couldn't help but ask:

"Brother Su, what do you think they want to do?

"If the Head Swapping Technique could succeed... is it good or bad?"

"This..."

Su Mo thought for a moment, but shook his head:
