Martial Arts Escort System: I Got A Maxed Level Divine Technique From The Beginning - Chapter 1131 444: Tianqi Island (2)
Shangguan Jingjing originally hesitated to speak, but after a moment of hesitation, she finally said:
“The Qi Family Patriarch of Tianqi Island is the Third Elder of the Nanhai Alliance.
“High rank and heavy authority!
“Originally, there were three major cities on this island: Tianqi City, Tianshuang City, and Tianlong City.
“It is said that these three major cities used to stand like a tripod, and back then, the Qi Family was far from the power they wield today.
“However, times have changed, and Tianshuang City and Tianlong City have gradually declined, while Tianqi City has become increasingly prosperous.
“The Qi Family rose in Nanhai, unstoppable.
“Finally, they brought both Tianshuang and Tianlong cities under their control.
“They even directly changed the island’s name to Tianqi.
“Centered around Tianqi Island, dozens of surrounding islands fall within their jurisdiction.
“Dominating a region of Nanhai, majestic beyond compare.
“All because they hold significant influence within the Nanhai Alliance!
“They bear… the responsibility of resisting the dragon.”
“The responsibility of resisting the dragon?”
Su Mo was stunned, what does that mean?
“The Qi Family’s territory on Tianqi Island borders the sea where the Dragon King Hall is located.”
Shangguan Jingjing said softly:
“The entire Nanhai is divided into three parts, with the three major forces each covering one part.
“What truly defines everything in this place is not the size of the sea but the number of islands.
“There are many islands around Tianqi Island, as there are around the Dragon King Hall.
“Both divide these star-scattered sea areas using ‘Sanqi Island,’ splitting it in half, each taking one side.
“Of course, they need to watch out for each other.
“The Nanhai Alliance calls this the responsibility of dragon resistance, meaning guarding against the Dragon King Hall.
“Their responsibility is enormous, and naturally, so is their power.”
After hearing this, Su Mo understood her meaning.
When the three major forces clash, it ultimately boils down to a fight over island territories rather than sea areas.
If the area where they meet is empty, there’s naturally no need to defend strictly.
Even if one side has many islands, and the other side doesn’t, neither dare to advance recklessly.
Only in areas where both sides occupy many islands is there a possibility of chaotic conflict.
The Qi Family is located here, occupying advantageous land like a Nanhai Alliance’s regional lord.
The importance of the Qi Family to the Nanhai Alliance is self-evident.
However, according to Shangguan Jingjing, similar situations probably exist at locations where the three major forces meet.
Tianqi Island, adjacent to the Dragon King Hall, bears the responsibility of dragon resistance.
But what about those adjacent to Gui Ruins Island territories, how should they be described?
The responsibility of resisting Gui Ruins?
Su Mo pondered slightly, feeling somewhat uncanny.
He understood Shangguan Jingjing’s intention: “You plan to use Tianqi Island as a stepping stone to escape to where the Dragon King Hall is located?”
“Yes.”
Shangguan Jingjing nodded: “Where the Dragon King Hall stands can’t be compared to the Nanhai Alliance. If the Ximen Family and Shangguan Family tread there, they would not act rashly.
“Therefore, only by leaving the Nanhai Alliance can we truly stay together.”
Su Mo nodded, watching this girl doing her utmost to be with her lover, couldn’t help but shake his head, then turned to Wei Ziyi:
“How do you feel, are you experiencing any sense of apprehension approaching home?”
Wei Ziyi suddenly looked at Su Mo:
“I think we shouldn’t directly visit.”
Su Mo heard and smiled, asking knowingly: “Why?”
“Mother left back then, and didn’t return for many years, but came back with an unknown granddaughter.
“Even if I have the token mother gave me, who knows if they will acknowledge me?
“Moreover, this time, what we are asking for is their greatest treasure…”
Wei Ziyi sighed: “I’m not afraid they won’t give it to me; I’m just worried about provoking a dispute.
“In the end, a decent family being slaughtered by you.”
“…”
Su Mo was speechless: “Am I that ruthless?”
“Aren’t you?”
Wei Ziyi glared at Su Mo: “Evil Su, you really lack self-awareness.”
Su Mo was left speechless by her retort.
However, dismissing Wei Ziyi’s trash talk, her logic indeed has merit.
If the treasure isn’t with the Qi Family, or if the Qi Family is not related to Wei Ziyi at all…
If Su Mo goes to ask, he can’t borrow, he might steal; if he can’t steal, he might rob.
But if they are related, he must handle the matter cautiously.
Immediately nodding slightly: “In that case, let’s not rush things, once we arrive, we should first find a place to settle.
“After that, approach them posing as Jianghu friends.
“Try to gauge the situation first; if there’s a chance to probe, all the better.
“When the time comes, we’ll decide how to proceed.”
“Mm.”
Everyone nodded, except Shangguan Jingjing, but she wasn’t eager to figure it out.
Since they’ve arrived at Tianqi Island, regardless of what kind of demon Su Mo is, he seems to keep his promises for now.
The thought of meeting Brother Ximen, escaping to the Dragon King Hall’s territory, then settling down, even the Shangguan Family and Ximen Family couldn’t do anything to them eventually.
She couldn’t help but feel ecstatic.
Wishing she could grow wings and fly onto the island.
…
…
Tianqi Island was already within reach; naturally, they didn’t need to fly.
The ship quickly docked at the pier.
This time, it’s unknown how long they’ll be delayed on Tianqi Island.
Tianqi Island is vast, and besides the three major cities, there are dozens of villages and towns.
