Martial Arts Escort System: I Got A Maxed Level Divine Technique From The Beginning - Chapter 1501 - 566: Ninth Layer_2
“This person is wildly ambitious, holding the power of the Dragon King Hall, raising a mighty hand, the Eight Demonic Punishment Orders rampage through the Nanhai, slaying dissenters.
“Not long ago, on an island, corpses were strewn all over, blood flowed like rivers.
“That day, it was said to have been raining heavily, and a merchant ship passed by nearby, seeing from afar the grand fleet of thousands of ships of the Eight Demonic Punishment Orders departing majestically.
“Only later did they discover bodies in the water.
“The guards accompanying on the merchant ship followed the trail of bodies to find the island.
“Thereupon, they saw the earthly hell on this island.
“Moreover, on the island, they also saw numerous corpses of Li Sect Disciples, presumably killed by the other seven sects.”
“This… could it be that the Li Clan was dissatisfied with this New Hall Master, leading to such a fate?”
“The Nanhai Alliance seizes Gui Xu Island.”
“The Eight Demonic Punishment Orders of the Dragon King Hall sweep across Jianghu.”
“Gui Xu Island remains hidden away, with no known intentions?”
“It seems the Nanhai is truly about to change!
“In this battle, how many more people are going to die?”
Everyone was on edge for a moment, murmuring softly with furrowed brows.
The table upstairs, which had just responded, also smiled faintly upon hearing this.
A gorgeous young lady beside the young master chuckled under her breath:
“Ambitious indeed.”
“…Lady, you must understand me.”
This young master, of course, is none other than Su Mo.
Three days had passed since the trip to Cui Xin Temple.
This trip had no other destinations, heading directly to the Martial God Temple.
Stopping on this island today, resupplying, taking Zhen Xiaoxiao ashore for a treat.
Unexpectedly, such news could be heard in this tavern.
Actually, this matter had long ceased to be a secret in Nanhai.
It’s just that this place is remote, and messages don’t easily circulate.
The fact that such news had traveled here indicated that rumors had already spread far and wide.
And this was one of the outcomes Su Mo wanted.
Thus he not only listened intently but joined the conversation by chance.
Yang Xiaoyun smiled slightly, tapping gently on the table:
“There’s no message from the Dragon King Hall so far, Gao Tianqi hasn’t publicized your dual identities of Dragon King Hall Great Hall Master and Nanhai Alliance Young Alliance Leader.
“Hence, currently, everyone still doesn’t know that the ambitious Great Hall Master of the Dragon King Hall is the same person as the Young Alliance Leader of the Nanhai Alliance.”
“The Eight Demonic Punishment Orders are strictly enforced, and the Sihai Dragon Heads are always at the side.
“This news won’t leak out that easily.”
Su Mo, upon saying this, furrowed his brow slightly:
“The merchant ship they saw should just be the location of the Headquarters of the Dark Dragon Hall.
“With the other seven sects crushing them, whether they attempt to have a battle on the island or at sea, they are destined to die.
“The result of this battle is not outside my expectations, Xiangtian Sect’s value ends here, dying on the island also counts as dying where they belong.”
Just then, Xiao He from not far away couldn’t help but chimed in:
“Xiangtian Sect loves fishing, yet never expected in the end, they were used as bait by the Hall Master.”
Upon hearing this, everyone couldn’t help but smile.
Then Xiao He said:
“It’s a pity, wasn’t able to catch the Dark Dragon Hall Master on the island.”
Su Mo slightly shook his head:
“It was expected, the Dark Dragon Hall is crucial, but they surely care more about another place.
“They either wait for us there or have no choice but to leave the Nanhai.
“Hence, the Dark Dragon Hall is considered… vanished into smoke.”
Saying this, he looked at Jiang Lan at the table.
Jiang Lan, holding a copper tobacco pipe, fell into a momentary daze.
Su Mo smiled slightly:
“Vice Hall Master Jiang, your position might just be a name now.
“Have you ever thought about leaving the Imperial Dao and serving under me?”
“…”
Jiang Lan was speechless for a moment: “Please don’t jest with me.”
Everyone present was aware of Imperial Dao matters to some extent.
However, Su Mo strictly forbade Jiang Lan from calling him ’Your Highness’ on the ship.
Therefore, about this alleged Imperial Bloodline matter, everyone was clueless.
Only Yang Xiaoyun knew the full story.
She couldn’t help but smile at this moment:
“The Dark Dragon Hall originates from Imperial Dao, and Imperial Dao has deep ties with my husband, if the Taoist Master knew this, surely he’d be delighted, why does Vice Hall Master Jiang hesitate?”
Jiang Lan was instantly stunned upon hearing this, hesitating somewhat.
Su Mo however waved slightly:
“Forget it, every person has their ambitions, we can’t force them, Lady, don’t trouble him.”
Among the seated crowd, the chit-chat didn’t eat much, only Zhen Xiaoxiao ate heartily, entirely indifferent to the conversations amongst them.
Seeing her, Su Mo couldn’t help but shake his head.
Now, this girl still looks quite plump.
But overall differs vastly from before, slimming down significantly.
No matter how she buries herself in food, she can’t regain her previous bulk.
Which leaves Zhen Xiaoxiao quite melancholic.
It feels like if she continues cultivating with the subsequent techniques provided by Old Ma, she will likely become slimmer and smaller…
Ultimately she’ll truly become ’Xiaoxiao’…
After the meal, though uneventful.
Everyone got up to settle the bill and leave, attracting attention.
Gazing after them.
Previously, that person who seemed like a Know it all hesitated slightly, got up to settle the bill, and followed them out of the inn.
Carefully tailing them, wishing to uncover the origins of this group.
After just a short while, they reached the shore.
Here, several large ships were fully loaded.
Su Mo and his group boarded a ship, then set sail and left.
