Martial Arts Escort System: I Got A Maxed Level Divine Technique From The Beginning-Chapter 529 - 244: The Scheme of the Night Lord
Chapter 529: Chapter 244: The Scheme of the Night Lord
Heavenly Spring Heart Cleansing Sword!
This secret book is actually right in my bosom?
Su Mo saw Wan Cangxin and felt that this person was indeed extraordinary.
We are all from Jianghu, and its dangers aren’t mere empty words; carrying around a secret martial arts manual is even more forbidden.
If something unfortunate were to happen, one search of the body after death, and your Sect’s martial arts would be thoroughly exposed.
Therefore, the idea of killing and looting a secret book off a corpse can only happen in games.
For their Absolute Skills not to be passed on, the people of Jianghu have exhausted all sorts of methods.
They prefer oral transmission over recording on paper, and even if it is written down, they often use exaggerated or ambiguous wording to hide the true essence.
True teachings in one sentence, false transmissions span thousands of scriptures.
If ordinary people followed these manuals blindly without understanding, they would seldom grasp the true techniques.
Only when truly cornered, left with no choice but unwilling to let their skills die with them, they might leave the essence behind.
Normally, even when a master teaches a disciple, it is common to hold back some secrets.
And why does each generation seem weaker than the last?
It is because everyone holds back.
What originally had three parts, after two generations, only one part remains.
And this remaining part cannot compare with the whole; ultimately, whether to pass it on becomes a huge dilemma for the leader.
This is why so many Absolute Skills end up losing their lineage.
However, from this, one can imagine how important the transmission of a secret book is?
Wandering the streets with a secret book...
Even a beating from the sect would be considered light punishment.
Wan Cangxin felt somewhat embarrassed:
"This secret book is what I wrote secretly while Old Hu was asleep on our journey.
"Ever since I knew about the Tianqu Sword, I thought I’d use the event as a conclusion.
"However, as Su, the Chief of the Escort said, the Heavenly Spring Heart Cleansing Sword must not lose its lineage because of me.
"That’s why I wrote the secret book in secret.
"In fact, according to my original intention, the book should have been placed in your room before.
"With Su, the Chief of the Escort’s character, whether you cultivate it yourself, or find a suitable successor, I can accept either.
"Unexpectedly, so many twists and turns happened last night.
"In Lord Su’s eyes, my thoughts are nowhere to hide.
"This secret book... I couldn’t bring it out."
Last night, Su Mo went to help Wan Cangxin, a matter he only mentioned to Wei Ziyi.
Therefore, Wan Cangxin did not know that Su Mo was not in his room at the time.
After meeting with Su Mo later on, although he thought about handing over the secret book, he could not find a suitable reason to do so.
He couldn’t possibly tell Su Mo that he planned to end his own life.
So he kept it on his person.
He guessed that if he were to die, given Su Mo’s character and the little interaction they had, Su Mo would likely take care of his corpse.
By then, obtaining the secret book would naturally follow.
But he didn’t expect that Su Mo would notice his intention and gave him a Yin Yang Rebirth Pill.
Now, in front of Su Mo, he had no secrets left.
This is when he took out the secret book:
"Lord Su, I intend to investigate Wusheng Hall once more.
"This journey is unpredictable in life and death, so please decide for yourself about this Heavenly Spring Heart Cleansing Sword."
Su Mo’s brows furrowed slightly:
"You plan to go to Wusheng Hall again?"
"That’s right."
Wan Cangxin took a deep breath: "Hearing your words has stirred my heart again. Thinking about it now, everything within Wusheng Hall could very well be arranged by the Night Lord.
"As if a leaf blocks the view, how can one see the truth?
"Now that I’ve ’died,’ it’s an appropriate time to act in the shadows, to see if I can locate the key issue."
Su Mo gently exhaled and looked towards the distant Liuyin City.
"Don’t you plan to ask the Night Lord for clarity?"
"Hm?"
Wan Cangxin was startled: "Night Lord?"
Su Mo nodded slightly: "If my guess is not wrong, the Night Lord will launch a surprise attack on Chimei Forest tonight."
His words were unusually calm, but they caused a storm inside Wan Cangxin.
At this moment, he looked around and couldn’t help asking:
"Where is this place?"
Su Mo smiled: "Rain Cold Valley."
"..."
Wan Cangxin then remembered he had asked Su Mo before where Wei Ziyi and the others had gone.
Su Mo’s answer was Rain Cold Valley.
Outside the inn, Wan Cangxin asked Su Mo why he sent Master Hongyun and the others to Rain Cold Valley?
But Su Mo did not tell him.
So the answer turned out to be here!
The Night Lord wants to attack Chimei Forest!?
So, had Su Mo already sent people here in preparation?
Yet, Wan Cangxin did not understand: "Lord Su, how do you know the Night Lord will attack Chimei Forest?"
"It’s a long story."
Su Mo looked at the sky: "But it’s not dark yet, the Night... should naturally appear at night, we still have some time.
"A few months ago, something big happened on Dongcheng River.
"I happened to be there and got involved.
"Jiaolong Association’s Master, ZhuGe Changtian, was captured by the Night Lord’s Shadow Envoy and thrown into the Water Prison.
"Only afterwards did we find out that the Night Lord actually meant to control the river.
"This action should be directly related to his plots in the Southwest, which I inadvertently exposed.
"Since that incident occurred, the Dongcheng Sects have temporarily shifted their focus on the river’s waterway."
