Martial Arts Escort System: I Got A Maxed Level Divine Technique From The Beginning-Chapter 376 - 193: Reunion_2
Chapter 376: Chapter 193: Reunion_2
The island was abundant with beautiful women, wine-filled pools, and mountains of delicacies from both land and sea, even gold and silver paved the ground.
People there always treated incoming guests with the highest regard.
One could freely enjoy everything on the island in hopes of leaving fully satisfied.
However, there was one condition... if one wished to stay on the island, any of their needs would be met.
But if one wanted to leave, they could not take anything from the island.
Otherwise, they would inevitably meet a grim fate at sea, without exception.
"Of course, this notion itself is mostly legendary," said Manager Zhan with a smile. "It’s largely unconvincing, but... if such a place exists, I’d indeed be curious to try it. Oh, right, Su, the Chief of the Escort, being a person of Jianghu... there is a place in Nanhai that everyone in Jianghu wishes to visit. Should you have the chance to travel over the sea, why not try to seek it out?"
"Oh?"
Su Mo smiled and said, "I’m eager to hear more."
"That’s said to be the Nanhai Martial God Temple, hidden deep in Nanhai.
The exact location is only mentioned among certain people.
Legend has it that every year at a special time, envoys set out from the island to seek those with formidable martial skills in Nanhai to visit the Martial God Temple.
The island gathers all martial arts from various sects and schools of Nanhai.
If one can stand out after the trials, they might get the chance to stay at the Nanhai Martial God Temple and learn all the martial secrets of Nanhai.
Some even say, if one could obtain this inheritance, including the powers of the Dragon King Hall, Gui Xu Island, and Nanhai Alliance, all sect forces of the entire Nanhai would inevitably regard them as their leader, becoming the ruler of the entire Nanhai."
With that, Manager Zhan chuckled and asked, "Su, the Chief of the Escort, does this stir your heart?"
"Indeed, it does stir my heart."
Su Mo smiled and said, "That such a wondrous place exists in this world is truly unexpected."
"Yes," sighed Manager Zhan. "The ocean holds many secrets, often making one long for it. Yet, those who actually match its allure are one in ten thousand."
Su Mo nodded, finding this quite true.
After exchanging a few more words with Manager Zhan, he took his leave.
Holding a brocade box containing a telescope, he returned to where the escort agency’s people gathered.
The object naturally aroused curiosity.
Su Mo opened the box, and Wei Ziyi just glanced at it before her eyes widened:
"Thousand mile Sight?"
"Miss Wei truly has extensive knowledge."
Su Mo looked at Wei Ziyi without much surprise.
After all, Manager Zhan had mentioned that these items were prevalent in Nanhai.
Although monopolized by many sects, it was assumed there would still be some that leaked.
The Phoenix Alliance indeed had some dealings on the sea, as Luoxia City, adjacent to Nanhai, occupies a naturally advantageous terrain.
Thus, it wasn’t surprising that Wei Ziyi could recognize the item.
"Stop the flattery."
Wei Ziyi gave Su Mo a sharp look: "Where did this come from?"
Su Mo briefly recounted his conversation with Manager Zhan.
Wei Ziyi’s brow furrowed: "This Manager Zhan is perhaps not an ordinary character... He’s right, such items do exist at sea and are indeed monopolized by many sects.
"However, the situation is far more serious than imagined...
"This item is forbidden at sea, and possessing it privately can lead to deadly consequences.
"Didn’t he tell you this?"
Su Mo was startled: "Is that so?"
"Otherwise, why do you think our Phoenix Alliance, despite knowing about it, couldn’t obtain it?
"In fact, we have registered it and even sought skilled craftsmen to try to replicate it.
"Each attempt, however, failed, and we had to abandon the effort.
"Of course, don’t worry too much. He probably thought, being a mere chief of a small escort agency, you wouldn’t have the chance to set foot in Nanhai - he withheld this detail to avoid frightening our esteemed Chief Su, ruining his gift-giving."
In the midst of her verbal sparring, Wei Ziyi found the chance to tease Su Mo, revenging herself for the embarrassment he caused her that night.
Su Mo ignored this and simply stored the Thousand mile Sight, saying:
"Let’s not discuss this. I’m concerned about what might be happening with the Jiaolong Association. Captain Li... have the brothers be extra cautious. I’m worried that the waterway ahead might not be peaceful."
"Alright."
Captain Li immediately nodded in understanding.
Wei Ziyi inquired about the specifics, and Su Mo explained truthfully.
"Could it be an overreaction?"
"Let’s see as we go."
Su Mo said, "If there really is an issue, causing the Jiaolong Association to mobilize completely, then this matter is certainly significant and probably involves more than just the Jiaolong Association."
"Um..."
Wei Ziyi nodded.
As Su Mo predicted, over the next few days as they passed several water forts,
All appeared deserted, with only a few people guarding the premises.
As for the boats traveling Along the River, they seemed invisible.
Thus, they traveled for three days, and ahead was supposed to be the territory of the Hongye Gang.
That night, while Su Mo was meditating in the cabin, he suddenly felt the boat dip slightly and immediately opened his eyes.
