Zeng Chou's words not only left Su Mo and the others confused but also left Wang Chengying and his group quite bewildered.

Wang Chengying's eyebrows were tightly knit.

This Sea Snake Zeng Chou was not an unknown name in this part of the sea.

This man possessed high martial arts skills, appeared rugged, but was quite shrewd.

Their pirate group, from nothing to something, rose to fame in just a few years under Zeng Chou's command.

However, both pirates and commerce guilds often traverse the seas.

Although they are mortal enemies, their relationship isn't as simple as it appears on the surface.

The guilds fear the pirates, and vice versa.

Not all those who are skilled in martial arts become pirates.

Even Zeng Chou, would only loot some ordinary merchant caravans.

Attacking a Bohai Association's ship inherently bore huge risks.

The Bohai Association belongs to one of the Nanhai Bai Merchants Alliance.

This group doesn't have great power, but they do have one thing... money.

When people are traveling in Jianghu, while not everyone, most are still just after two words, fame and fortune!

There's an old saying, "Learned skill with literature and martial arts, to sell to the homes of emperors."

Now there are no more emperors.

But the martial skills can always find a place to be used.

The Hundred Merchants Alliance, or even ordinary merchant caravans, are willing to spend to hire experts for protection.

The more money there is, naturally, the more and stronger experts they attract.

Thus, if someone like Zeng Chou really did go all out against Wang Chengying and others.

Should this matter return to the Bohai Association, the Bohai Association would definitely stop at nothing against Zeng Chou.

Because Wang Chengying is the future head of the Bohai Association.

And when they kill, they often don't need to do it themselves.

They just need to put a bounty on a head, and naturally, someone would come forward to claim the reward.

Therefore, unless there was an immense interest involved.

Zeng Chou might not recklessly target a giant like the Bohai Association.

Wang Chengying initially found the encounter somewhat peculiar.

Upon hearing Zeng Chou's explanation at this time, he felt something was off and asked in a deep voice:

"Lord Zeng, just say it straight. Wang is indeed as confused as a monk with no hair right now.

"Please enlighten us, Lord Zeng."

This was said with some politeness, to consider they were guests invited by Su Mo.

Otherwise, given the fierce battle just now and the casualties on both sides, Wang Chengying's words would have been much harder to hear.

Zeng Chou frowned:

"You truly don't know?"

"I truly don't know."

Wang Chengying replied solemnly.

"This..."

Seeing his certainty, Zeng Chou was momentarily unsure.

After a pause, he said:

"I heard that there is a great treasure on your ship.

"——Poison Dragon Pill Scripture!"

The words Poison Dragon Pill Scripture made the scene abruptly pause.

Wang Chengying's face changed drastically, he suddenly stood up:

"That's impossible!

"Who spread this outrageous lie? Are they trying to destroy my Bohai Association?"

Not only Wang Chengying, but Ding Luo and the others present also changed their expressions completely.

Su Mo and Yang Xiaoyun exchanged a glance.

Both thought of a person at the same time — Poison Dragon Son!

Years ago, when Su Mo and Yang Xiaoyun escorted a shipment to Yuliu Manor delivering the Dragon Roar in the Box.

They encountered the Yin Mountain Ghost Lord ambushing two disciples of the Luoxing Sect, Lou Jingjing and Cheng Feiyu, in an abandoned temple.

He did this because he had been injured by Liu Suifeng years ago, leaving him suffering day and night with a lingering Sword Intent, so he wanted to obtain a Poison Dragon Pill crafted by Poison Dragon Son.

This incident reminded both Su Mo and Yang Xiaoyun of the legend of this master who had long vanished from Jianghu.

Poison Dragon Son was a master of both medicine and poison, making his elixirs worth a fortune.

He eventually disappeared from Jianghu; some said he saved the wrong person and was harmed.

Others claimed he discovered the secret of immortality and thus hid away to seek it.

Theories were many, but no conclusive answer.

Now suddenly hearing something related to 'Poison Dragon' on this Nanhai sea.

Is it actually a scripture?

Poison Dragon Pill Scripture...

It makes one wonder if it truly is the work of Poison Dragon Son?

He was a prominent figure in medicine, writing a scripture on elixirs would be reasonable.

But if it truly was his work, then back then, he clearly wasn't harmed from saving the wrong person, nor did he discover the Immortality Technique.

He went to sea?

As these thoughts rolled in his mind, Su Mo suddenly recalled what the Liu Yun Scholar once mentioned at Haoran Academy.

Poison Dragon Son hailed from Xuanhu Pavilion!

With this in mind, Su Mo instinctively glanced at Little Situ.

But he noticed Little Situ wasn't listening to either side's conversation.

Focused on a plate of braised pork knuckle, her cheeks bulged as she ate, covered in grease.

Noticing Su Mo's gaze, she blushed.

In a hurry, she tried to swallow the food but almost choked from being too hasty.

Frightened, Su Mo quickly handed her a cup of wine.

She gulped it down, which immediately made her eyes tear up from the spice, her face instantly turning a shade of red.

Only then did Su Mo recall that Little Situ had rarely drunk alcohol, making her tolerance quite low.
