Martial Arts Escort System: I Got A Maxed Level Divine Technique From The Beginning - Chapter 1491 - 563: The Dust Settles
The Hidden Sword Hermit examined the place briefly and nodded lightly:
“There are no more mechanisms in the chamber.”
“Thank you, Hermit.”
Su Mo smiled, not surprised at all.
It was the successor of Cui Xin Temple who could open this door.
If there were mechanisms inside after the door was opened, it would indeed be unexpected, but wouldn’t that be a trap for their own future disciples?
Su Mo glanced at Ximen Huai:
“Brother Ximen, please.”
“This…”
Ximen Huai hesitated slightly, then shook his head:
“This place is indeed intricately linked to my Ximen Family.
“However, times have changed, and the past is irretrievable.
“Young Master Su can take whatever you desire.
“I won’t be going inside.”
“…Are you worried that I, Su Mo, would kill to silence you?”
Seeing the constipated expression on Ximen Huai’s face, Su Mo knew exactly what he was thinking.
Ximen Huai believed his value lay only in opening the door.
But if, after opening the door, he still thought he could get a share of the loot, that would be underestimating Su Mo.
Thus, the best way to stay out of trouble now was to turn a blind eye and a deaf ear.
Let Su Mo and the others do as they please.
As if everything had nothing to do with him at all.
In this case, if Su Mo had a conscience and spared his life, it wouldn’t be impossible.
However, this thought was seen through by Su Mo in an instant, leading to a moment of awkwardness.
Su Mo gently patted his shoulder, causing Ximen Huai to shiver, afraid that this pat would kill him.
After confirming nothing happened, Su Mo laughed:
“What kind of person do you think I am, Brother Ximen?
“There are indeed things here that I want, but to say that I would sweep it all away…
“I am not that greedy.”
“This…”
Seeing Su Mo’s sincere expression, Ximen Huai tentatively followed him into the chamber.
Jiang Lan and the others followed closely behind.
Su Mo first glanced at the gold and silver jewelry, which seemed to be the accumulation of Cui Xin Temple over the years.
Though seemingly plentiful, in reality, it wasn’t much.
This indicated the poverty of Cui Xin Temple.
Then he looked at the bookshelves on both sides.
There were many bamboo scrolls, almost all martial arts secret manuals.
From beginner to advanced, they were all there.
However, Su Mo and his companions were not interested in these.
But Ximen Huai was quite concerned, and after flipping through a few scrolls, his face gradually showed excitement.
The Ximen Family was genuinely the successors of Cui Xin Temple.
The absolute skill the family relied on was precisely the Jade Crown Quenching Heart Scripture.
However, the Jade Crown Quenching Heart Scripture was only passed down to the main family, the direct descendants; others mostly studied scraps.
Let alone the ordinary disciples.
These secret books now could fill in the gaps for his Ximen Family.
For a moment, his heart was itching with desire.
Su Mo, on the other hand, went straight to the umbrella.
After a slight contemplation, he reached out and took it.
It felt slightly heavy, the surface was pitch black, and there were faint needle holes scattered across it.
Reaching out to touch it, it seemed that the umbrella surface was not made from ordinary fabric.
He gave it a slight shake, and dust instantly filled the air.
It drew the attention of everyone present.
Yet, Su Mo opened the Xin Luo Umbrella with a snap.
Looking up, he saw nothing peculiar.
He turned it over to examine the handle but found nothing unusual.
He couldn’t help but furrow his brows slightly.
The Xin Luo Umbrella, the Heaven pointing Wheel, plus the Seven Feet Mysterious Light Sword of the Qilin Swordsman.
Ultimately point to the location of a Mysterious Mechanism.
Yet, from the current perspective, there’s no apparent connection between the Xin Luo Umbrella and the Mysterious Mechanism.
Re-examining it, he finally focused on the scattered needle holes on the umbrella.
His gaze paused slightly.
These needle holes were interconnected with threads, appearing extremely intricate.
Upon a closer look, they had a certain pattern.
But to say it was a map, it didn’t quite seem so.
Jiang Lan, arms crossed, stood by watching but furrowed his brows, evidently unable to make sense of it either.
Unable to hold back, he said:
“Just having the Xin Luo Umbrella is not enough.”
“Oh?”
Su Mo smiled, “Does Vice Hall Master Jiang know where the other two are?”
“The Seven Feet Mysterious Light Sword has been missing for years. Recently, it has often appeared in Donghuang, but in the last two years, there’s been no sign.
“I don’t know where it is now…”
As he spoke, he looked at Su Mo with a slightly grave expression.
Seeing Su Mo somewhat surprised, he asked:
“Your Highness, do you know?”
“I don’t know… I just didn’t expect this sword to have appeared in Donghuang?”
Su Mo furrowed his brows, “What a pity, missed it by a hair.”
“Indeed, it’s a pity.”
Jiang Lan nodded, “The last piece, the Heaven pointing Wheel, has always been in the Jinglong Association. It was used as a personal weapon by a master there.”
“What exactly is the Heaven pointing Wheel?”
“A wheel…”
Jiang Lan began to give an uninformative answer, seeing Su Mo’s eyes turn dangerous, he quickly added:
“It’s forged entirely of metal, with extremely intricate mechanisms inside.
“It appears to be a single wheel, but it’s far more than that.
“Once activated, it flies wildly all over, making it hard to handle…”
He initially wanted to mention the consequences of trying to forcibly seize it, having heard of such stories before.
Someone tried to forcibly take the Heaven pointing Wheel, only to have their fingers severed by it.
But telling this to Su Mo was of little significance.
He was said to have a Vajra Physique; no matter how sharp the Heaven pointing Wheel, it wouldn’t have much of an effect on him.
