Martial Arts Escort System: I Got A Maxed Level Divine Technique From The Beginning

Chapter 528: Chapter 243: Unraveling Layers_3

The truth may not be as conclusive as one imagines.

For a moment, a burst of vitality was rekindled.

Immediately, he asked: “Su, the Chief of the Escort mentioned three suspicions, this being the first. What about the other two?”

“The second suspicion…

“When Wan Yutang first ascended to power, to stabilize the situation, he couldn’t leave Wusheng Hall to meet with you and your mother in Dongcheng.

“However, does that mean there was absolutely no communication between them?

“Perhaps some mistake occurred along the way, eventually coming to the Night Lord’s knowledge.

“But if this point is true, it may explain another matter…”

“What matter?”

Wan Cangxin found himself unable to keep up with the train of thought.

Su Mo glanced at Wan Cangxin: “Eternal Night Valley indeed had its hidden players within Wusheng Hall from the start.”

If there were letters exchanged between Wan Yutang and Wan Cangxin’s mother,

Even if there was an error with the letters, leading them into the hands of others, the likelihood of them falling into the Night Lord’s hands would be minuscule.

But if the Night Lord had already placed his people within Wusheng Hall and obtained this information under certain circumstances, it would be very likely.

Considering the current situation, the Night Lord’s strategy in Southwest was not a matter of one or two days.

The plausibility of this situation increased significantly.

Wan Cangxin’s expression became complex as he heard this:

“If it is as Su, the Chief of the Escorts says, then for me, it would be a comforting matter.

“By the way, Su, the Chief of the Escorts, mentioned there was a third possibility.

“What is that possibility?”

“… The third possibility.”

Su Mo glanced at Wan Cangxin: “The third possibility is that Wan Yutang is not your father.

“Your father is someone else!

“The Night Lord first used you to acquire the Heavenly Spring Heart Cleansing Sword and had you master this skill.

“Then he learned of a little princess within Wusheng Hall, and the girl next door was becoming a young woman.

“He took advantage of your earnest search for your father and naturally led you into Wusheng Hall.

“I mentioned before that Ren Xiongfei’s identity is in doubt.

“If he is the Night Lord’s undercover agent within Wusheng Hall…

“Then your entire entry into Wusheng Hall may well have been the Night Lord’s arrangement.

“Ren Xiongfei is the Vice Hall Master of the Tenth Hall and also took on the responsibility to teach Wan Yilan martial arts.

“You stayed by Ren Xiongfei’s side all along.

“And in doing so, you met Wan Yilan.

“It’s not unusual for a man and a woman of the right age to develop feelings over time.

“The best part is, Ren Xiongfei often has important tasks and has you ’sparring’ with Wan Yilan.

“Not to hide the truth from you…”

Su Mo looked at Wan Cangxin: “Brother Wan, since you secretly entered Wusheng Hall, you naturally could not reveal your mastery of the Heavenly Spring Heart Cleansing Swordsmanship.

“In Jianghu, it is rumored that you are just a nameless disciple within Wusheng Hall.

“This shows that your identity within Wusheng Hall is not ordinary.

“At least on the surface, there are many with higher martial arts than you, so why would Ren Xiongfei not have them spar with Wan Yilan, but rather choose you?

“And moreover, does he really not understand that men and women should be kept apart?”

Wan Cangxin’s face changed several times: “He… calculated to this extent?”

Su Mo sighed: “The Night Lord is truly not to be underestimated; he plans grand schemes and makes moves everywhere.

“You said before that he once told you his ambitions were extremely lofty.

“That’s probably looking towards conquering the entirety of Donghuang.

“If that’s the type of person he is, no matter what kind of schemes he concocts, it’s not at all surprising.”

“But… what is his endgame?”

Wan Cangxin couldn’t help but ask: “If it was just to kill me, there’s no need for such elaborate schemes.”

“… It’s not to kill you, but to deal with Wusheng Hall.”

Su Mo frowned slightly: “Think about it; after the Tianqu Sword Event, regardless of the outcome, the identity of that imposter will surely become more secure.

“What if at that time, the fact that you had a romantic relationship with Wan Yilan and the revelation of your identity as Wan Yutang’s son came to light? How would it be?”

At first, Wan Cangxin was slightly taken aback, but then his pupils suddenly contracted:

“Surely many will want to know this truth?”

Such rumors tend to arouse deep-seated taboos in people’s hearts, and once spread, they will certainly cause an uproar.

“And what if, at that time, the imposter truly acknowledges this matter, then what?”

“…”

Wan Cangxin’s eyes were filled with shock: “Once this news breaks, Wusheng Hall will certainly be thrown into chaos.

“How can the respected leader of Wusheng Hall lead when faced with family misfortune and… his children…

“How could he command respect?

“If Ren Xiongfei truly is the hidden agent of Eternal Night Valley within Wusheng Hall, riding the tide of this chaos, he might truly overturn Wusheng Hall!

“And establish a foothold in the Southwest.”

Su Mo nodded lightly: “If the situation is chaotic, there will be opportunists.

“At this juncture, coinciding with the leadership struggle within the Phoenix Alliance and the opportunity with Wusheng Hall before us.

“It makes sense for the Night Lord to flex his muscle in this context.

“However, up to this point, most of what we’ve discussed is conjecture; the truth might only be determined by another visit to Wusheng Hall.

“In a step back, Brother Wan’s departure and ’death’ as an apology to the world has indeed broken the game.

“A part of the Night Lord’s plans has been exposed, and you ’died’ before everyone.

“He may still have the thirteenth sword of the Heavenly Spring, but it will be of no use.

“And you… can now move from the light into the shadows and act according to his design.”

After this conversation, although there were still countless mysteries hidden within,

Wan Cangxin felt that maybe it really was too early for him to die.

After pondering for a moment, he had made a decision and immediately cupped his hands in salute: “Lord Su, I have an impertinent request to make, and I ask for your assistance.”

“Brother Wan, please speak freely.”

Su Mo smiled lightly.

Wan Cangxin reached into his chest and then took out two books from his bosom to give to Su Mo.

Su Mo was startled: “What are these?”

“Heavenly Spring Heart Cleansing Sword!”
