Martial Arts Escort System: I Got A Maxed Level Divine Technique From The Beginning - Chapter 693 - 298 Unexpected_3
Chapter 693: Chapter 298 Unexpected_3
“…I think it’s you who is being presumptuous.”
Li Zhongming’s vision darkened in waves before he glanced at Su Mo:
“Su, Chief of the Escort, this matter… this matter…”
“Master Li need not say more, my mind is made up. If you refuse, I’d like to see if there is anyone in this vast Wusheng Hall who can stop me.”
“This…”
Li Zhongming sighed: “Well then, if that is the case, Su, the Chief of the Escort, please do as you wish.”
Hearing this, Xing Lan snorted and extended an arm in invitation:
“Su, Chief of the Escort, please!”
“Hmph, lead the way.”
“Heh.”
Xing Lan said no more, leading a few people at his side, walking in front.
Su Mo followed behind.
Li Zhongming watched their retreating figures, his brows tightly furrowed, but it was unclear what he was thinking.
…
…
Su Mo followed Xing Lan all the way into the Fourth Hall.
At the door of Wu Yong’s residence, disciples of the Seventh Hall had already strictly guarded it, not allowing anyone to enter.
Other Hall Masters also wished to find out what had happened, but seeing that the disciples of the Seventh Hall were already here, they dared not force their way in.
Everyone knew that Wu Yong, the Hall Master of the Seventh Hall, had a volatile temper.
At this moment, if one were to provoke him, one might be falsely accused of murder.
Although this might not be taken seriously, it was still extremely annoying.
Moreover, the Seventh Hall had substantial authority in enforcing the rules of Wusheng Hall, and if Xing Lan were to remember them for it, they would inevitably be put through some petty troubles later on.
However, speaking of Xing Lan, he had not been so unreasonable in the past; it was only in the recent half year that his behavior had become more aberrant.
Thus, seeing the people of the Seventh Hall already here, they each went their own way, awaiting good news.
Xing Lan led Su Mo straight through the encirclement and into Wu Yong’s courtyard.
And when they reached the bedroom, Xing Lan spoke:
“Enough, this is where the unrelated should stop. Old Wang, Xiao Ling, come with me.
“…Su, the Chief of the Escort, after you.”
Su Mo said nothing and stepped into the room.
The room was not in disarray, showing no signs of struggle, and Wu Yong’s corpse lay on the bed, showing no abnormalities.
Behind him came the sound of the room door closing, and only then did Su Mo turn to look at Xing Lan.
Suddenly, he smiled:
“Quite the act, I was completely unable to tell during the day.”
“What do you mean by that, Su, Chief of the Escort?”
Xing Lan was taken aback: “Why are you suddenly spouting nonsense?”
Su Mo nodded: “Hmm? If I’m mistaken, does that mean I can kill you?”
As the sound of his voice faded, his hand movement was already gathering strength.
Xing Lan hurriedly waved his hands:
“Wait, wait…”
Seeing that Su Mo showed no signs of stopping, he quickly turned to look at a middle-aged man beside him, saying softly:
“Quickly make him stop, your son-in-law has gone mad and wants to commit murder.”
“Hmph, if he wanted to kill you, you’d be dead by now.”
The middle-aged man called Old Wang by Xing Lan shook his head and then turned to look at Su Mo, his eyes striving for calmness but couldn’t help revealing some ripples.
He reached out and peeled off a Human Skin Mask from his face:
“Mo’er… are you well?”
The person before him was none other than Yang Yizhi!
“Uncle Yang…”
Su Mo immediately withdrew the Inner Strength from his palm, let out a breath, and then looked up at Xing Lan:
“The Qilin Swordsman?”
“Lord Su, it has been a long time,” said the Qilin Swordsman with a gentle smile.
And when Su Mo turned to look at Xiao Ling, he no longer hesitated:
“Miss Yu.”
“Greetings to you, Su, Chief of the Escort.”
Xiao Ling was naturally Yu Lingxin.
Even Su Mo, usually so astute, took a moment to believe seeing these three appear before him in such a manner.
He shook his head lightly:
“How… how did you all manage this trickery?”
He had thought for sure that if Yang Yizhi was in Wusheng Hall tonight, he would find a way to meet with him.
Unexpectedly, it turned out to be Wan Yilan instead.
He thought he had missed the opportunity after Wu Yong’s death but did not expect these three to appear before him in such a way.
It was indeed quite incredible.
Moreover, these three had hidden themselves extremely well; had it not been for the Qilin Swordsman intentionally revealing a flaw just now.
The skill used was the Heaven and Human Strike once executed by the Heavenly Gate Master in Cangfeng Valley.
The variations were infinite; Su Mo had trouble identifying Xing Lan as the Qilin Swordsman.
At that moment, he also did not know if Xing Lan was indeed the Qilin Swordsman or Yang Yizhi, but that Heaven and Human Strike had only been seen by a few people present at the time.
When ’Xing Lan’ had used that move just now, it was clearly a form without substance.
It was obvious that he had seen the variation, but the power and detail were nowhere near the same as what the Heavenly Gate Master had used.
So Su Mo surmised that this person must not be from the Three Extremes Sect and must have been one of the people in Cangfeng Valley that day.
He deliberately used it to let Su Mo know… they were on his side.
Sure enough, after two palms met, the person’s Inner Strength contained but did not release, smoothly passing a note into his palm.
Afterwards, Li Zhongming arrived, and the actions and words between him and ’Xing Lan’ were naturally a show for his sake.
The Qilin Swordsman chuckled softly:
“This is a long story, and I’ll explain it to you slowly when we have more time.
“It’s actually quite worrying to me that when I said those words earlier, you might not be able to suppress the anger in your heart and end up killing me with a palm strike…
“Did you notice the signal I was giving you at that time?”
“…Unless I’m blind.”
Su Mo was speechless; his palm strike seemed mighty, but in reality, it was also restrained, just meant to deceive.
But it seemed to work too well; while the Qilin Swordsman was striking towards him, he was also frantically signaling with his eyes.
The way he signaled was as if his eyeballs were about to fly out.
The Qilin Swordsman immediately felt a little awkward when he heard this:
“You… your martial arts are too strong.
“When I first met you, I thought you were just a novice.
“Only to learn later that you conceal your abilities well, and after the battle in Xuanji Valley, my eyes were opened further.
“I thought that was the peak, but the Sect Leader of the Three Extremes Sect is not even a match for you…
“That’s still not all; after parting at Cangfeng Valley and meeting again, you have now become the top figure of Donghuang!?
“Your martial arts improve by the day. If you had not recognized me, and I inadvertently offended your Donghuang’s majesty, if you killed me, Wusheng Hall probably wouldn’t dare seek revenge on my behalf.”
…
