Martial Arts Escort System: I Got A Maxed Level Divine Technique From The Beginning - Chapter 1474 - 557: Give It a Try! (Part 2)
The more he thought, the more frightened he felt.
Lin Mu instinctively lowered his head, not even having the courage to look at Su Mo.
Su Mo, however, smiled:
“Master Lin, would you like to join me on a journey?”
“You want to capture me?”
Lin Mu looked at Su Mo in astonishment.
“Does Master Lin think you are worthy enough for me to capture?”
Su Mo stood with his hands behind his back, a smile on his lips.
“This… I am afraid I am not worthy of such an honor.”
Lin Mu truly did not want to be modest, but in front of Su Mo, he couldn’t bring himself to be arrogant.
Su Mo laughed heartily:
“Master Lin is too humble; you are certainly worthy.
“However, currently, there is no need to leave this place.
“Let’s go, let’s take a stroll inside the island.”
“This…”
Lin Mu’s eyes shifted, and a bit of expectation arose in his heart.
There was no one here, but as you went inside, it was full of Dark Dragon Hall disciples.
Wasn’t Su Mo heading towards his own death?
But this thought only lingered a moment before it faded.
He truly couldn’t understand why someone like Su Mo would head towards his own death?
Unless he had already taken control of all the threats on this island and didn’t regard them at all.
But even so, he couldn’t understand why Su Mo had such confidence?
Thinking about it seven or eight times and still not understanding, he decided not to think about it anymore, and gestured:
“Please.”
“Please.”
Su Mo smiled and strolled inside the island, chatting casually:
“Dark Dragon Hall originated from the Imperial Dao, and in the old days, the founding ancestor of Dragon King Hall actually had ulterior motives when accepting Dark Dragon Hall; he had two purposes.
“First, as the third hand in the shadows for Dragon King Hall.”
“The third hand?”
Hearing this, Lin Mu couldn’t help but feel a bit angry. No matter how one described Dark Dragon Hall, it wasn’t some petty thief.
Su Mo smiled:
“Master Lin, please don’t misunderstand. Everyone has two hands, and when opposing someone, it’s usually fist against fist, foot against foot.
“But Dragon King Hall is different. It has a third hand that, during open conflict, lands an unseen powerful punch.
“If such a punch comes, who can withstand it?”
“This… is quite fitting.”
Lin Mu nodded with realization, finding Su Mo’s metaphor to be quite apt.
Regarding these matters, as Dark Dragon Hall’s master, Lin Mu was aware of them.
The Dark Dragon Hall Master had never hidden the matters of the Imperial Dao.
He knew there was a mysterious headquarters in Beichuan.
The Imperial Dao was immensely powerful.
Even the current structure of Dark Dragon Hall continued the foundations of the Imperial Dao.
But thinking of this, he shook his head lightly:
“The Imperial Dao is far away, and I’ve heard they still dream of restoring Da Xuan.
“Until now, they are still looking for some imperial bloodline.
“It’s utterly ridiculous…
“Even if they find it, what then?
“What of the Da Xuan bloodline compared to the Emperor Xuan of yesteryear?
“Even Emperor Xuan couldn’t prevent the sudden collapse of Da Xuan back then—a mere bloodline is nothing more than a joke.”
“Master Lin, your insight is profound.”
Su Mo smiled slightly: “Since ancient times, the theory of bloodlines might sound formidable at first, but at its core, it’s nothing more than a trick to fool the simple-minded.”
Lin Mu glanced at Su Mo and, seeing his expression was not one of pretense, nodded:
“It’s just a pity that many people can’t see through this, thinking the importance of bloodlines is far above the ordinary.
“In reality, it’s just a trick played by those in power to maintain their authority.
“I truly admire Gao Tianqi in this regard.
“He took a huge risk and removed Gao Guiyuan from the position of Young Alliance Leader.
“He chose a virtuous leader and selected Young Master Su as a successor.
“Although it sounds simple, who knows how much effort and how great a decision it took to achieve this?
“Even the Hall Master marveled at this, saying he had sharp insight, could recognize talent, had determination, and possessed great wisdom, speaking with much admiration.”
Su Mo glanced at Lin Mu with some thought, then smiled slightly:
“That flattery was quite skillful, quietly influencing without a sound.”
“Uh, this…”
Lin Mu’s expression became somewhat awkward.
Su Mo smiled slightly:
“However, Alliance Leader Gao is indeed an extraordinary figure. We were supposed to be adversaries, but not only did we become friends, I owe him a great favor.
“If we calculate the time, he should have already captured Gui Xu Island.”
“…”
Lin Mu’s expression changed: “Was this also part of Young Master Su’s plan?”
“It should be said it was a plan between me and Alliance Leader Gao.”
Su Mo said with a smile:
“Regarding Gui Xu Island’s Xu Huai Valley, Alliance Leader Gao is far more knowledgeable than I am.
“Thus, only he could understand the situation clearly…
“It was a one-stroke victory.”
“Gui Xu Island is one of the top three in Nanhai, flourishing with many capable people under it.
“Young Master Su, aren’t you afraid that Gao Tianqi and all others will perish on Gui Xu Island?”
Lin Mu subconsciously asked.
“It’s fine.”
Su Mo smiled slightly: “They should have left Gui Xu Island long ago by now.”
“What?”
Lin Mu was taken aback; he had not yet received this news.
Frowning for a moment, he couldn’t discern Su Mo’s intentions.
At this moment, Su Mo continued:
“Master Lin seems very attentive to Gui Xu Island, but I wonder if you’ve paid proper attention to Dark Dragon Hall?”
“Dark Dragon Hall…”
Lin Mu was taken aback: “What need does Dark Dragon Hall have for my attention?”
“Indeed, but after today, even if Master Lin wanted to pay attention, I’m afraid you wouldn’t be able to.”
