Martial Arts Escort System: I Got A Maxed Level Divine Technique From The Beginning-Chapter 1296 - 499: Coincidence or Fate? (Part 2)

"Feng Changge agreed.

"After returning to the Nanhai Alliance to report, he sent people to investigate the person who was entrusted.

"But he discovered that the entire family was completely slaughtered, leaving no survivors!

"This enraged Feng Changge, prompting him to begin investigating the clues.

"Unfortunately, after a long investigation, no trace was found.

"It was only known that the family were ordinary people, slightly affluent, without worries for food and drink.

"But to call them a wealthy family, they were far from that.

"And the mysterious person who hunted the man that day was never seen again.

"The investigation reached a stalemate, and with no other option, Feng Changge came to me for a solution.

"Their entrusted letter was not meant for us to read.

"However, the loss of lives demands an explanation.

"In the end, I personally opened the letter..."

At this point, his speech paused slightly:

"The contents of the letter took me by surprise.

"The seemingly ordinary people were actually descendants of blacksmiths who forged the Haori Golden Blade and the Burning Wood Armor.

"Moreover, they... discovered the location of the Martial God Temple back then.

"Unfortunately, they didn’t have the Martial God Key at that time.

"They arrived at the treasure mountain but couldn’t enter.

"With no other choice, they left.

"Finally, to avoid losing their way to the Martial God Temple after finding the Martial God Key, they forged a Burning Wood Armor from gold and stone, leaving a map on it.

"Regrettably, despite their lifetime efforts, they never acquired the Martial God Key.

"The Haori Golden Blade was later passed into the hands of the Gao family’s ancestor.

"And the Burning Wood Armor... was handed down to the Qi Family.

"The secret within was long lost.

"If not for this serendipity, this secret might have never seen the light of day again."

"Is the news about the Martial God Key also from this?"

"Exactly."

Gao Tianqi nodded:

"Although they hadn’t obtained the Martial God Key, they had seen it.

"Additionally, years ago, the Nanhai Martial Elder, forced into desperation, left a saying: ’To find the Martial God Temple, you must first obtain the Martial God Key’.

"People of the Jianghu wouldn’t settle for this, persistently pestering him, leading the Nanhai Martial Elder to reluctantly add, ’Not of gold or iron, nor a key’.

"Upon comparison, Mo Shuang is undoubtedly the Martial God Key."

Su Mo remained expressionless, but a picture had formed in his mind.

Suddenly, his eyebrows slightly raised:

"Alliance Leader Gao... if it was a coincidence, how could the Dragon King Hall be so sure that the Martial God Key is the Mo Shuang Flute?"

Upon hearing this, Gao Tianqi smiled slightly:

"Hero Su, how do you perceive the Nanhai Alliance, Dragon King Hall, and Gui Xu Island?"

"These... the three great powers over the Nanhai?"

"Hero Su, there is not a hint of sincerity in your words."

Gao Tianqi sighed:

"The three forces vie for dominance, yearning to devour each other and rule over Nanhai alone.

"This has never changed.

"Thus, although they appear at peace on the surface,

"beneath lies turbulence, never ceasing.

"Disciples of the Nanhai Alliance are hidden within both the Dragon King Hall and Gui Xu Island.

"How could the Nanhai Alliance be an exception?

"For outsiders, some matters are indeed secret.

"But for these three families, they are hard to hide..."

He paused slightly at this point:

"However, this matter does indeed seem peculiar.

"The Martial God Key and the letter’s contents are extremely confidential.

"Even within the Nanhai Alliance, few are aware.

"That the other side could gather this information leads me to suspect if there is a spy from the Dragon King Hall among those close to us?

"However, this matter cannot be approached rashly; it demands careful investigation.

"A minor discrepancy could lead to a major error, and without solid evidence, would only disturb the people."

After hearing this, Su Mo glanced at Gao Tianqi:

"Alliance Leader Gao, have you never considered... that what seemed like a coincidence, may not have been exclusive to your Nanhai Alliance?"

"..."

Gao Tianqi shuddered all over.

He abruptly looked at Su Mo:

"You mean..."

"Too coincidental."

Su Mo exhaled lightly:

"Alliance Leader Gao, at this point, I advise you, refrain from making any moves against the Qi Family.

"There might be other crucial factors in this matter that haven’t been clarified.

"I have another thing to verify, so I’ll take my leave now."

"Wait!"

Gao Tianqi hurriedly stopped Su Mo.

Su Mo turned back to look at him:

"Does Alliance Leader Gao have more to say?"

"... You haven’t given me your answer yet."

Gao Tianqi sighed: "Are you willing to take over the Nanhai Alliance?"

"???"

Su Mo nearly forgot about this matter.

The conversation with Gao Tianqi had revealed so much information.

His mind was preoccupied with other matters, overlooking Gao Tianqi’s shocking proposal at the beginning.

For a moment, he was at a loss for words:

"Alliance Leader Gao, I truly don’t understand.

"Firstly, I am not part of the Nanhai Alliance, and secondly, I have no familial ties to you.

"Moreover..."

He paused slightly.

Gao Tianqi helped him continue:

"Moreover, just last night did Hero Su go on a killing spree here?"

"... Cough, cough, Alliance Leader Gao, please speak cautiously. When have I gone on a killing spree? Don’t hurl false accusations against a person’s good name."

Gao Tianqi laughed heartily:

"Hero Su, do you know what I admire most about you?"

I know!

From what you say, I can tell you plan to call me shameless.

This old jest needs no further mention.
