Martial Arts Escort System: I Got A Maxed Level Divine Technique From The Beginning - Chapter 1018 407: A Visit
The night is bright with stars scattered across the sky, and the moon hangs high.
Under the cover of night, a few people are rushing through the forest.
The leading person suddenly stops and looks back, breathing a sigh of relief:
“It seems they really didn’t catch up.”
“Senior Duan, don’t be careless.”
A woman’s voice echoes through the forest: “The people from Longmu Island have extraordinary martial arts; the person we encountered earlier might not be able to hold them off for long.”
The speaker is Zhou Wenjing.
The person mentioned earlier is Sleeve Hidden Heart Duan Wenwu.
These two have never been on good terms, as Zhou Wenjing considers Duan Wenwu to be deceitful and untrustworthy.
Duan Wenwu, on the other hand, has always had some disagreements with Zhang Quan and naturally looks down on Zhou Wenjing.
Yet, for some reason, the two of them are now together.
Following behind them is Cheng Suying.
Cheng Suying gazes back at the dark, dense forest, her brows furrowed:
“Wenjing, what do you suggest we do next?”
Zhou Wenjing sighs deeply but can’t help glancing at Duan Wenwu.
This morning, the three of them, following Su Mo’s instructions, continued their exploration on Longmu Island under the guise of ‘strolling’ to look for clues about their elders.
By the end of the day, they had found nothing.
Unexpectedly, they ran into Duan Wenwu sneaking around in the afternoon.
Zhou Wenjing initially thought Duan Wenwu was here to trouble them.
She wasn’t worried about this.
Firstly, they are guests on Longmu Island.
Secondly, although Duan Wenwu’s martial arts are decent, she can’t win in a one-on-one fight, but she still has two skilled disciples of the Canglan Divine Blade with her.
With the three of them working together, why should they fear him?
Especially Duan Renjie, who had been itching for a fight after being under Su Mo’s control for so long.
While on Su Mo’s ship, he didn’t dare show any hostility toward anyone.
Now, he seemed inclined to ‘devour someone’.
However, Duan Wenwu did not fight them and merely said:
“If you want to find your martial uncle, follow me.”
After those words, he turned and walked away.
Zhou Wenjing and the others exchanged glances, and although unsure of what lead Duan Wenwu had, they decided to investigate further.
So they followed him.
Once in a secluded location, Duan Wenwu began to reveal what he knew.
He claimed that his reason for coming to the island was different from others.
Others were either drawn by the Poison Dragon Pill Scripture or by rumors of treasure hunting or martial arts tournaments.
But he was here to find his son.
Duan Wenwu’s son, named Duan Yulong, was somewhat famous in the Jianghu, known as Young Master Yulong.
However, much of Young Master Yulong’s reputation was due to his father’s name, while his own martial arts were quite average.
This was often a source of frustration for him.
Because of this, father and son often had conflicts.
Duan Wenwu frequently traveled, spending most of the year away from home, so they rarely saw each other.
Unexpectedly, about half a year ago, when Duan Wenwu returned home, he found his son’s room empty, with only a letter left behind.
The letter said he had found an opportunity and was going to explore it.
If successful, he would surely surpass his father and so on…
After reading the letter, Duan Wenwu felt something was wrong.
However, the letter did not mention anything about Longmu Island.
Without many clues, he had no choice but to wait at home.
After waiting for two months with no sign of his son’s return, he finally grew restless and began searching for his son’s whereabouts.
Recently, he had just found a clue, learning that his son’s last known location was on Gupiao Island.
He rushed to Gupiao Island, only to find that the island was filled with treacherous plots and various unsavory characters.
Even his old rival from the Shattered Star Sect was stationed on the island.
Focused on finding his son, he naturally did not want to attract attention, so he had been acting discreetly.
Eventually, he discovered that this group of people suddenly made a move taking advantage of the Fog Day.
He hurriedly followed them out to sea.
After many twists and turns, he finally arrived at Longmu Island.
On the beach, after meeting with other Jianghu figures and discussing their reasons for being there, he learned the details.
He theorized that his son was likely drawn to the island by the same rumors of martial arts tournaments or treasure hunting.
He hadn’t returned home for so long, possibly encountering trouble on the island.
Thus, on the first night of his arrival, he discreetly investigated Longmu Island.
He did make some discoveries.
According to him, those who landed on the island at night encountered two different treatments.
One type was taken into guest rooms to rest and treated as guests on Longmu Island.
The other type was directly escorted to a cave in the back mountain.
After long observation, he discovered this pattern.
The latter often happened under two circumstances: the captives were either older or had not been discovered by other onlookers during their capture.
If they were captured in front of others, they would be taken to the guest room to rest.
If not, they were escorted to the cave in the back mountain.
Although Duan Wenwu wanted to investigate the cave, he had no reliable people by his side.
Although he had gathered a group on the beach that day,
they were nothing more than a disorderly bunch.
They gradually dispersed and were of no use.
By that time, there was no one left beside him.
If he rashly acted alone, the dangers within the cave were unpredictable, and he feared that instead of rescuing his son, he might be captured as well.
