Martial Arts Escort System: I Got A Maxed Level Divine Technique From The Beginning-Chapter 1295 - 499: Coincidence or Fate?

Gao Tianqi’s words made Su Mo’s mind resonate with a thunderous boom!

So that’s how it is!

Ye Youchen had said that the Burning Wood Armor was snatched by someone with the Snake Head Sword embroidered on him.

This person must belong to the Jinglong Association!

He might even be one of the Longmen Thirteenth Jing.

Su Mo was puzzled at the time, although the Burning Wood Armor had peculiar abilities, why would it arouse the greed of the Jinglong Association?

The Jinglong Association had always been interested only in the Mysterious Mechanism.

But if it were the Nanhai Martial God Temple, it would make sense if they had acted personally.

And last night, looking over the various methods of Gao Tianqi.

It was also very odd...

To say the situation was at a critical moment, attempting to assassinate Qi Dingtian, was already showing signs of aggression.

If it were true that all Five Leaders acted simultaneously.

And without Su Mo’s advice to Qi Dingtian being considered.

Qi Dingtian would certainly have been doomed.

But instead, he left some room for maneuver.

In fact, last night he wasn’t aiming to kill Qi Dingtian, but to stall him, and if the conditions allowed, gravely wounding him would have been even better.

The purpose was naturally to facilitate their secret operations, to find the map of the Martial God Temple.

If it couldn’t be found, they could re-strategize to capture Qi Dingtian and force him to reveal it.

But unexpectedly, Su Mo’s mediation resulted in Qi Dingtian being brought to Gao Guiyuan’s side.

This, in turn, made it easier for Gao Tianqi to act.

This was also why Su Mo was so ruthless last night.

He also always remained indifferent and ignored things for a reason.

First, Su Mo’s martial arts were unparalleled, impossible to be stopped.

Secondly... for the sake of the Nanhai Martial God Temple, even if there were some casualties, it didn’t matter.

As long as the secrets of the Martial God Temple could be obtained, to reign over Nanhai, everything could be turned around. 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢

Thus, for the two purposes of eradicating the Qi family.

One was to have one of his Five Leaders control the Qi family’s power.

To become Gao Guiyuan... no, considering this person’s disposition, Gao Guiyuan wasn’t truly regarded by him.

If he were only concerned about the Nanhai Alliance, he could entirely choose another suitable candidate.

To make the Qi family’s power a blade in this person’s hand.

And then gain control of the Martial God Temple.

Even after his demise, the Nanhai Alliance would remain as stable as ever.

As for so-called legitimacy...

Gao Tianqi’s words were indeed legitimate!

Only now, the situation became even more complex.

The Jinglong Association had obtained the Martial God Temple map many years ago.

Yet recently, only then did someone head to Yusheng Island to seek the Martial God Key.

Since Gao Tianqi sent Zhang Fang and Yu Tong to set foot on Yusheng Island to find this item, the Dragon King Hall also knew about Xiao He.

Then does the Dragon King Hall know... the true secret of the Burning Wood Armor?

Furthermore...

Su Mo glanced at Gao Tianqi:

"Alliance Leader Gao surely knows, doesn’t he, that the Qi family has lost the Burning Wood Armor?"

With the loss of the Burning Wood Armor, Gao Tianqi used the excuse of the Haori Golden Blade being damaged to come to Tianqi Island for this reason.

If the Qi family couldn’t produce the Burning Wood Armor, Gao Tianqi could make a big deal out of it.

This is the main ’reason’ for exterminating the Qi family.

If even this wasn’t clarified, Gao Tianqi’s purpose in coming here would be unfounded.

"Naturally, I do."

Gao Tianqi smiled:

"However, Hero Su should also know...

"There is a skill in this world called Danqing!"

"The Qi family preserved a painting of the Burning Wood Armor?"

"Exactly so."

Gao Tianqi nodded slightly:

"The Third Generation Ancestor of the Qi family made great contributions to our Nanhai Alliance in ancient times.

"It’s not an exaggeration to say, our Nanhai Alliance wouldn’t be what it is today without the Third Generation Ancestor’s indispensable merits.

"Therefore, the Gao family once had someone paint a portrait of the Third Generation Ancestor as a commemoration.

"And at that time... this Third Generation Ancestor was wearing the Burning Wood Armor.

"It’s a pity that neither the Third Generation Ancestor nor anyone else knew the true secret of the Burning Wood Armor back then.

"In the subsequent years of war, the three parts of Nanhai were gradually taken over.

"The Third Generation Ancestor of the Qi family did not desire to appear before people, seeking fame and gain.

"He erased all traces of himself and the Qi family completely.

"And the portrait that had been hidden in the Nanhai Alliance Headquarters disappeared along with the departure of this ancestor.

"Only until the previous Family Head of the Qi family joined the Nanhai Alliance due to the pressures of the current situation.

"That’s when we found out that this ’Ancestor Portrait’ had always been with the Qi family."

Hearing this, Su Mo couldn’t help but fall into silence.

If all this were true...

First take the Martial God Key, then take the map.

It would make sense.

Only, Su Mo’s brow furrowed.

When looked at separately, everything seemed fine.

But when putting everything together, there emerged a major issue.

He gently tapped his finger on the table:

"Alliance Leader Gao, let me ask you...

"How did Alliance Leader Gao learn of this information?"

"This can only be attributed to a lucky coincidence."

Gao Tianqi sighed upon hearing this:

"Several years ago, one of the Five Leaders under me, Leader Feng Changge, was ordered by me to attend to some tasks.

"On the way back, he encountered an incident.

"A group of mysterious people were chasing an ordinary man.

"Conflicts and casualties in Jianghu are inevitable, yet under the governance of the Nanhai Alliance, Jianghu people are absolutely not allowed to harm the common folk.

"In usual times, anything unseen must be investigated and dealt with.

"Since Leader Feng Changge witnessed it, there was no reason to ignore it.

"He rescued the man from those people.

"Unfortunately, at that point, the man was already gravely injured.

"On the brink of death, he handed a letter to Leader Feng Changge, entrusting him to pass it on to others.
