Martial Arts Escort System: I Got A Maxed Level Divine Technique From The Beginning
Chapter 258 - 154: Arrival_2Chapter 258: Chapter 154: Arrival_2
“Therefore, I’d like to give you all a heads-up here. If things become discordant, it would be best to withdraw as early as possible… to avoid being mired deeper and unable to extricate yourselves.”
After much hesitation, he still did not explain the matters related to the Three Extremes Sect and the Mandarin Duck List to them.
The objectives between them were different; the Heavenly Blade Sect didn’t even have much attachment to the Golden Jade Cone, and their journey was solely for finding Tong Yun.
Finding or not finding him was merely a mental knot.
If he told them about the affairs of the Three Extremes Sect, there was no guarantee it wouldn’t adversely affect them, leading to a loss of lives.
Hence, with the warning given to this extent, it was sufficient.
Indeed, Su Mo’s words immediately caused Liu Mo and the others to be jolted into keen alertness.
The group exchanged looks briefly and then cupped their fists in thanks: “Since Lord Su has spoken thus, we naturally understand.”
“That’s good.”
Su Mo sighed softly: “On this trip, I, Su, have urgent matters to attend to, otherwise, I would have been willing to visit the Yu Family Territory with you all. Now, I can only hope that you will encounter good fortune and all goes smoothly.”
“No need for such words, Lord Su.”
Liu Mo smiled and said: “These matters aren’t really related to Lord Su…”
“They weren’t in the past, but now, I’m afraid that’s difficult to say.”
Su Mo’s expression appeared somewhat odd.
Upon hearing this, Liu Mo and the others nodded in agreement.
Who would have thought that while investigating Tong Yun, they would learn from the scar-faced man that the Ziyang Escort Agency had once escorted a certain score.
And this score had a huge connection with Tong Yun.
Moreover, there were other mysteries within the matter.
Were Tong Yun’s subsequent actions all related to this incident?
Did Su Mo’s father manage to catch up with Tong Yun on that day?
If he hadn’t caught up, then it was fine, but if he had, what then occurred?
Did their conversation change some of Tong Yun’s decisions?
That led him to eventually give up chasing the Huai Mountain Five Tigers, and even decided to leave traces of the past in Dongcheng within Yuejiang Pavilion.
Thus, twenty years later today, they were able to find these clues by following the leads.
Although this idea might be somewhat wishful thinking.
Yet it’s not impossible.
However, all these conjectures could only be confirmed after finding Tong Yun. Right now, any guessing would simply add to the troubles.
Without further ado, Liu Mo took away the Huai Mountain Five Tigers, one of whom had an arm severed, which would be helpful for questioning if any problems were encountered along the way.
As for Su Mo, he set the scar-faced man’s corpse aflame and then stood beside the bonfire to bid farewell to Liu Mo and the other two with a cupped fist salute.
Watching Liu Mo and the other two depart, Su Mo and Yang Xiaoyun withdrew their gazes and exchanged a look but had long conversations without speaking a word.
“Uncle Su…”
Yang Xiaoyun gave Su Mo a glance: “Seems a bit different from our expectations, doesn’t it?”
Su Mo exhaled and smiled:
“With a wave of his hand, as if the scorching sun rose high, his martial arts were so strong that one could almost mistake him for the sect leader of the Ziyang Sect…
“Truly impressive.”
However, both in the ears of Su Mo and of that person Yang Xiaoyun heard about, they all said his martial arts were mediocre.
He could only keep the escort agency running by relying on his parent’s remaining influence.
But the words of the Huai Mountain Five Tigers told Su Mo directly that everything they knew was false…
Su Mo’s father was far from as simple as they imagined.
And with that conversation, it also made Su Mo and Yang Xiaoyun realize something.
How extraordinary was Yang Yizhi?
With the Dragon Spear, he had established the great reputation of the Iron Blood Escort Agency.
So why would he form a sworn brotherhood with Su Mo’s father?
If Su Mo’s father truly was just an escort master who could hardly keep the agency running with the residual influence of his ancestors, could Yang Yizhi have esteemed him?
That night in Tianyu City, the black-clothed man of unknown identity once described Su Mo’s father with ’the disposition of natural magnificence, with the air of valor’.
In the words of Li Siyun, Su Mo’s father was even more ’a hero among heroes’.
Anyone who had contact with Su Mo’s father spoke highly of him.
Yet the person Su Mo and Yang Xiaoyun heard about seemed so mundanely ordinary.
If there were no problems here, then probably no one would believe it.
Just that whatever is hidden inside, is still like looking at flowers through the fog, unclear.
After pondering for a moment, Su Mo then said:
“Li Siyun once said that he has personally guarded the Mandarin Duck List for the past twenty years.
“And more than twenty years ago, my late father and Uncle Yang escorted the Mandarin Duck List to the Yu Family.
“I’m afraid there must have been some changes that we do not understand.”
“The Yu Family…”
Yang Xiaoyun frowned: “I am quite unfamiliar with this name.”
“They were annihilated by someone over a decade ago…”
Su Mo’s brows furrowed slightly, ordinary people might not be aware of the Yu Family’s affairs, but Su Mo was clear.
The Yu Family was wiped out over the matter of the Mysterious Mechanism.
Both Yu Lingxin and the Qilin Swordsman were seeking their enemies to avenge this annihilation.
This led to Su Mo’s escort mission of the Brocade Box to Jiming Post.
Just what was the purpose of the trap set by Yu Lingxin that day, Su Mo didn’t delve into it.
Now even if one wanted to ponder deeply, there were no traces left.
And if back then, Su Mo’s father and Yang Yizhi had delivered the Mandarin Duck List to the Yu Family, what happened afterward?
