Chapter 523: Chapter 242 Cangxin’s Secret
From Tianqu City to Rain Cold Valley, the journey was not short.
Su Mo hastened along with Divine Transformation, yet it took nearly a full day before he finally arrived outside Liuyin City in Rain Cold Valley.
He did not enter the city immediately but sought a secluded spot nearby.
He placed Wan Cangxin’s corpse on the ground.
Stretching out his hand to press against his chest, Su Mo channeled Inner Strength through the Healing Technique of the Twelve grade Golden Bell Shield.
In just a moment, the already lifeless Wan Cangxin’s little finger twitched suddenly.
A surge of medicinal power then burst forth from within his heart, spreading throughout his limbs.
As the inner breath circulated, he took a deep breath and sat up abruptly, turning over.
It was as if awakening from a great dream, suddenly lucid yet unaware of the current era.
He looked around bewilderedly and then saw Su Mo.
“Su, the Chief of the Escort?”
Then he lowered his head to touch his chest, his brow furrowed tightly, understanding what had happened:
“I… I was meant to be dead; Lord Su really shouldn’t have saved me.”
Su Mo looked at him and shook his head slightly:
“Wan Brother, do you wish to die because you truly feel guilty towards Elder Tianquan? Guilty towards the Tianquan Descendant?”
“Indeed so.”
Wan Cangxin exhaled softly: “Therefore, I ask Lord Su to allow me to end my life.”
“I think not.”
Su Mo watched him quietly:
“If you truly feel guilty towards Tianquan Descendant, you should not want to die.
“You have committed a grave mistake, allowing Heavenly Spring Heart Cleansing Sword to fall into the hands of the Demon Sect and leading to Elder Tianquan’s death at the hands of the Night Lord.
“Now, with your death, the Tianquan lineage would be utterly severed.
“From this point on, only the flawed Heavenly Spring Heart Cleansing Sword taught in Eternal Night Valley would remain.
“The swordsmanship of the once glorious Heavenly Spring Sword God would henceforth belong to the Demon Path.
“Would this not bring even greater dishonor to the Tianquan lineage?
“If you truly feel remorse in your heart, how can you allow this to happen?
“How dare you flee in death?
“And not instead seek every means to carry the Night Lord’s head to Elder Tianquan’s tomb to pay respects?”
“…Lord Su, what if you thought I simply didn’t see myself as a match for the Night Lord?”
Wan Cangxin’s eyebrows were tightly knotted.
“Wouldn’t that be better?”
Su Mo raised an eyebrow lightly: “You were set on dying, fighting for your master’s honor, and even if you die, at least you would have struggled.
“And now, before the people of this world, you’ve taken your own life as an apology—an act that seems brave and righteous, as befitting a man of integrity.
“But is that really so?
“Wan Brother… what secrets are you still hiding in your heart that are not fit for outsiders to know?”
Upon hearing this, Wan Cangxin’s expression changed several times.
In the end, he bowed deeply, his eyes filled with the color of profound regret.
Su Mo sighed:
“I do not know what you are hiding in your heart.
“In fact, if this matter did not involve the Night Lord, I would not delve into it.
“But as it stands, I still hope you can be candid with me.”
After being silent for a while, Wan Cangxin looked up at Su Mo:
“Lord Su, how did you save me?”
“…”
Su Mo was silent for a moment before speaking:
“After we parted ways with Master Hongyun, on the way back to Tianqu City.
“I had you take two elixirs, do you remember?”
Wan Cangxin nodded:
“You said these were given to you by Little Situ, to aid in regulating your inner breath.
“Having taken them, my Inner Strength indeed recovered very quickly.
“Is there something false in this?”
“True and false.”
Su Mo said: “Of the two elixirs, one was the Dong cang Pill that could enhance the recovery of inner breath, the other, named Yin Yang Rebirth Pill.”
“Yin Yang Rebirth Pill?”
Wan Cangxin was slightly startled.
“This elixir can neutralize all poisons and heal internal injuries.
“Even if someone succumbs to poison or injury and dies on the spot.
“But if the elixir is taken in advance, a force within the heart will preserve a breath of life.
“This force will gradually take effect within an hour or two.
“Healing the body’s afflictions and eliminating the toxicity.
“Bringing back the dead to life.
“Hence its name, Yin Yang Rebirth.”
Wan Cangxin was stunned, eventually uttering in admiration:
“The methods of Xuanhu Pavilion are indeed extraordinary.”
Su Mo couldn’t help but nod in agreement.
Xuanhu Pavilion’s techniques were truly formidable, and the various uses of the Yin Yang Rebirth Pill had only been thoroughly explained to him by Little Situ before her departure.
Only then did he realize that Duan Song had known too little about it.
The effects of this elixir, far more powerful than imagined.
But this also deepened Su Mo’s confusion.
Little Situ, born with the impairment of Three Yin and Three Yang Six Meridians, couldn’t her condition be cured with Xuanhu Pavilion’s inexplicable techniques?
“However, though this elixir is good, it has a problem.”
Su Mo continued: “It must be taken in advance; truly, once a person is dead, taking this pill will not save them.”
Wan Cangxin was silent for a while before finally asking:
“Then why, Lord Su, did you have me take this pill in advance?”
“…Ah.”
Su Mo sighed: “Last night, when you fought with the Heavenly Spring Twelve Swords, after I expelled the Five Ghosts Heavenly Demon Qi from you, you spoke of your profound sins.
“Later, when meeting Little Situ, you mentioned her life-saving grace, yet you did not speak of how you would repay her in this life, only that you would owe her a debt of gratitude in the next life.
“After that, you more than once brought up the heavy burden of your sins.”
