Martial Arts Escort System: I Got A Maxed Level Divine Technique From The Beginning-Chapter 1286 - 496: The Long Night

This night is much longer than expected.

The assassins from Qi Mansion, following Gao Tianqi's return, disappeared completely after leaving a few unrecognizable corpses.

The blaze that had erupted in the northwest was extinguished long ago.

Until this point, the night's excitement seemed to have come to an end.

However, three large ships were currently traversing the waves at sea.

A man dressed in a black fitted outfit, with a 'Qi' character embroidered on his chest, stood on the deck with his hands behind his back.

"Senior Brother Wang, are you gazing at the night?"

A young lady similarly dressed in a black outfit approached, shading her eyes with her hand as she looked into the distance.

"... At night, when it's pitch dark, what night scene is there to gaze at?"

The young man rolled his eyes.

If Su Mo were present, he would surely recognize him.

This young man was none other than Wang Shengyuan, who greeted him upon his initial arrival at Tianqi Island.

"If it's not gazing at the night scene, why come here to feel the wind when idle?"

The young lady pouted.

"Why do you always speak so informally when talking to your Senior Brother?"

Wang Shengyuan glared at the young lady: "Little Yezi, you've been practicing martial arts for ten years, mastered three skills in the Outer Courtyard, and learned the Unpredictable Finger to some degree.

"Accompanying me on this trip counts as an early experience in Jianghu.

"Once this trip is over, our master may let you travel the world.

"You must remember that we are Qi Family Disciples.

"Your words and actions represent the face of the Qi Family.

"When traveling, you absolutely must not lack manners."

"Hmph..."

Little Yezi snorted and mumbled softly: "Always preaching like an old scholar... even though you're only a few years older, acting so old all the time..."

"What did you say?"

Wang Shengyuan turned back to look at her. 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂

"Nothing, nothing."

Little Yezi quickly smiled and said: "Senior Brother is right, I will keep it in mind!"

"Hm, as long as you understand."

Wang Shengyuan nodded in satisfaction:

"When you return from your travels, the master will likely ask about your wishes.

"If you want to leave the Qi Family, you can return home after completing your training.

"But if you stay, firstly, you will be entrusted with significant responsibilities, and secondly, there will be opportunities to learn the Absolute Skills of the Inner Courtyard.

"However, if you do, you will belong to the Qi Family for life...

"This is a decision no one can make for you; it is entirely up to you."

Little Yezi gently nodded, glancing at Wang Shengyuan, mumbled to herself, then waved her hand:

"Senior Brother, let's not talk about this.

"When I travel Jianghu, it will take at least one or two years.

"This far-fetched matter has nothing certain now, so why discuss it?"

"... It's precisely to plan ahead and consider things thoroughly. Ah, never mind, you child..."

Wang Shengyuan shook his head, somewhat helpless.

Little Yezi then laughed and said:

"Instead of talking about this, let's talk about that Youyun Alliance Leader.

"This person really has a lot of guts...

"If it weren't for his men, who couldn't keep their mouths shut under severe torture and mentioned the word Wuhua Island,

"Who would have thought that the Youyun Alliance Leader was right under our noses at Qi Mansion?"

"That's being blind in close proximity."

Wang Shengyuan nodded lightly.

Just as they reached this topic, someone overhead spoke:

"Senior Brother Wang, we arrived at Wuhua Island."

"Good."

Wang Shengyuan immediately nodded upon hearing this and waved his hand:

"Order all brothers to anchor off the coast, take small rafts onto the island, advance covertly, and avoid being discovered by the people of Youyun Alliance on Wuhua Island."

"Yes."

The disciple above answered promptly.

Little Yezi couldn't help but speak:

"It's just the Youyun Alliance. Do we really need to be so cautious?"

"Little Yezi, you must remember."

Wang Shengyuan became extremely serious upon hearing this:

"When traveling in Jianghu, never underestimate any opponent.

"Although Qi Family Disciples have their pride, if pride turns into arrogance, disaster is not far away."

"... Got it."

Little Yezi pouted; although she was impatient with her Senior Brother's preaching,

She took all these words to heart honestly.

In the blink of an eye, the three large ships all furled their sails.

The distance from here to Wuhua Island was still somewhat short.

Splashing sounds were heard as small rafts were thrown off the three large ships.

With Wang Shengyuan's command, these Qi Family Disciples leaped onto the rafts, forming groups of three to five, and used Inner Strength to propel swiftly and silently across the water.

Under the cover of darkness, the group quickly reached Wuhua Island.

"Wuhua Island is extremely small, with only one village, most areas are cultivated orchards and fields.

"If the Youyun Alliance Leader secretly took over this place, they would certainly target the village on the island.

"Our mission is firstly to ascertain the villagers' identities, secondly if the villagers are indeed Youyun Alliance bandits, we must find a way to locate the detained villagers before any move... at the very least, find their corpses.

"Rescue first, then eliminate the traitors!"

Wang Shengyuan instructed quietly.

The people around him nodded simultaneously.

The next moment, the group leapt forward, heading towards the island village under the cover of darkness.

Wuhua Island was indeed small; after just a few leaps, they were close to the village.

But at this moment, everyone's expression changed.

Little Yezi sniffed the air and couldn't help but ask:
