Martial Arts Escort System: I Got A Maxed Level Divine Technique From The Beginning-Chapter 1294 - 498: Gao Tianqi!
Capítulo 1294: Chapter 498: Gao Tianqi!
“What Hero Su said is correct, the Qi Family indeed bears the responsibility of resisting the dragon, but to say they are loyal to the Nanhai Alliance with unwavering dedication, I’m afraid that might be an exaggeration, right?”
Gao Tianqi glanced at Su Mo and smiled slightly:
“Back then, the Qi Family joined the Nanhai Alliance out of necessity.
“Throughout the years, they have worked diligently… However, the Qi Family is, after all, the Qi Family.
“Once there is chaos within the Nanhai Alliance, the Qi Family will undoubtedly rebel.
“Their rebellion is not about seizing the Nanhai Alliance.
“If they truly had such ambitions, given the character and martial arts skills of the brothers Qi Shengdau and Qi Shengxuan.
“I would hand over the Nanhai Alliance without hesitation!
“The Qi Family’s rebellion is simply because they want to maintain their own integrity.
“But once they do that, divisions will inevitably arise.
“If the Qi Family can maintain their integrity, why can’t others?
“Competition among alliances within the Nanhai Alliance would become inevitable!
“Even if at that time, the Qi Family tries to step forward and stabilize the chaos like their ancestors once did.
“I’m afraid it will be beyond their power!
“If chaos arises in the Nanhai Alliance, the Dragon King Hall and Gui Xu Island are bound to take advantage of the situation.
“The entire Nanhai… will be completely thrown into chaos.
“Following this path, the Nanhai Alliance will surely be gradually devoured by the Dragon King Hall and Gui Xu Island.
“Eventually, it will disappear without a trace.
“But… what happens after that?
“The three-legged stance can still uphold stability.
“Even occasional friction will be restrained, fearing the third party will take advantage and end up profiting, eventually turning big matters into minor issues and minor ones into nothing.
“But if the Nanhai Alliance were to disappear.
“The Dragon King Hall and Gui Xu Island, each consolidating their power, would devour the Nanhai Alliance to strengthen themselves.
“What would happen to these two entities then?
“Would they allow others to rest peacefully beside them?
“Chaos will surely ensue!
“But once these two giants make a move, the conflict won’t be resolved in a day or two.
“Over many years, how many dead bodies will float on the Nanhai waters?
“If it were only those two parties suffering losses, they would purely be reaping the consequences of their actions.
“But… why should the common people suffer?”
Su Mo wanted to laugh.
Deeply scheming, ruthlessly cunning, stopping at nothing to achieve his goals, treating familial ties as nothingness, sacrificing everyone for his own objectives, Nanhai Alliance Leader Gao Tianqi.
He actually cares about the common people!?
Yet Su Mo couldn’t bring himself to laugh…
Because he could truly see that Gao Tianqi’s words were spoken sincerely.
Even if he could lie, his acting skills unparalleled, able to deceive Su Mo.
But the land under the rule of the Nanhai Alliance wouldn’t lie.
And with Su Mo’s wisdom, how could he not see that the Qi Family indeed has never truly felt a sense of belonging to the Nanhai Alliance.
All of this indeed aligns with Gao Tianqi’s predictions.
Should there be any mishaps within the Nanhai Alliance, the Qi Family would certainly maintain their independence.
In the past, it was only because Gao Tianqi was alive that he could suppress them.
If the Nanhai Alliance lost Gao Tianqi, what would Gao Guiyuan have to make the Qi Family submit?
The first to leave would definitely be the Qi Family.
Not because the Qi Family is unfaithful, but simply because they hold different positions, their way of thinking about matters is entirely different.
Their perspectives are also different.
The Qi Family is a clan, and also a Sect.
They lack ambition for world domination.
They care for the world, but do not strive for dominance!
If they are wrong, the Qi Family isn’t.
But… was Gao Tianqi wrong?
This is indeed a difficult question.
At least for now, Gao Tianqi’s exhibited charisma has surpassed Su Mo’s expectations.
His purpose is clear, and he has always progressed on this path, undeterred by storms!
This made Su Mo have some admiration.
Of course, admiration is one thing, but he cannot let Gao Tianqi destroy the Qi Family.
Therefore, Su Mo lightly smiled:
“Alliance Leader Gao has been honest, aren’t you afraid I might erupt into violence?”
“I am!”
Gao Tianqi smiled: “Ten years ago, holding the Haori Golden Blade, I dared contend with Hero Su.
“But now, without the Haori Golden Blade by my side.
“The old cannot rely on muscle and bone, and I am far inferior to before.
“Being here now, if Hero Su has any intent to kill, I would undeniably die.
“I do not fear death, but I fear today’s conversation remains incomplete.
“I fear the Nanhai Alliance will crumble into pieces.
“I fear blood will flow across the Nanhai.
“I fear the common people will be displaced, inadequately clothed, insufficiently fed, with the tragedy of eating one’s child recurring!”
He clenched his fist, taking a deep breath:
“Therefore, I hope Hero Su will consider this first, and let me finish what I have to say.
“Then decide whether to kill me… How about that?
“Although I might be wicked, I inevitably remain the backbone of this Nanhai Alliance.
“As long as I live for another day, the Nanhai Alliance will be a force that no one dares to belittle!”
Su Mo picked up the teacup and took a sip:
“Alliance Leader Gao can speak slowly, as it is still early.
“However, I do have one point of confusion.
“Even without the Qi Family, if Young Master Gao returns unharmed.
“How would Alliance Leader Gao have him hold the Nanhai Alliance?”
“That is… the true purpose of my visit to the Qi Family.”
Gao Tianqi began to speak:
“To destroy the Qi Family, subdue its forces, then station one of my five leaders to guard this place as one step.
“Secondly… I need to find something within the Qi Family.”
“What is it?”
“The map of the Martial God Temple.”
Gao Tianqi made no excuses: “This item is within the Qi Family, but Qi Dingtian knows nothing about it.”
“Nanhai Martial God Temple?”
Su Mo glanced at Gao Tianqi:
“That’s indeed perplexing…
“Before coming to Nanhai, I had already heard of this Martial God Temple.
“It is said that every year emissaries from the Martial God Temple depart, coming to Nanhai to find suitable candidates.
“To arrive at the Martial God Temple and undergo trials.
“Why then would you need to find another map?”
“…Has Hero Su ever heard of anyone reaching the Martial God Temple?”
Gao Tianqi gently smiled:
“To my knowledge, in the current Jianghu, only the Nanhai Martial Elder supposedly once visited the Nanhai Martial God Temple via a fortuitous coincidence.
“After receiving the legacy and comprehending it, the Jianghu legend of the Heavenly Termination Nine Forms emerged.
“Besides him, is there anyone else?”
“This… could be because of my limited insight?”
“Not so…”
Gao Tianqi gently shook his head:
“In fact, the Martial God Temple has never dispatched any emissaries.
“This is merely a Jianghu legend.
“The true Martial God Temple exists only in one place in Nanhai, and the only map is engraved upon the Burning Wood Armor!”
