Martial Arts Escort System: I Got A Maxed Level Divine Technique From The Beginning-Chapter 299 - 168: Chivalry

"Li Siyun, initially, also had reservations about me and your father.

"That vigilance was not ordinary; it was something built up over many years.

"However, this concern diminished a lot after he saw the Yixuan Divine Skill and the then unfamiliar Jinghong Fenguang hand of me and your father.

"He kept asking about the whereabouts of Shou Xuan.

"We could only tell him, and after hearing it, he looked up to the sky and cried bitterly.

"Saying that from today onwards, their clan was completely cut off.

"Upon inquiry, we learned that on the day Shou Xuan left, he led people to retrieve the stolen items from the traitor.

"Unexpectedly, there were still traitors within the clan.

"Taking advantage of insufficient manpower and unguarded moments, they led outsiders into the valley to massacre their own clan.

"A large clan, but it collapsed from within, and ultimately, the whole clan perished!"

Yang Yizhi gently shook his head: "At that time, Li Siyun said, the black clothed men who broke in, dragged all their clan members to the clan’s square for questioning, whether they were martial artists beaten to the ground, or ordinary clan members who knew no martial arts, including the old, weak, women, and children.

"They questioned where the guarded item was exactly located.

"If not revealed, they would brutally mistreat and dishonor their wives and children.

"In a moment, the field was full of fresh blood, flowing profusely, with heads falling like rain, and screams filling the sky!

"Li Siyun’s clan members furiously questioned those traitors who betrayed their own kin, asking why they could do such a thing!?

"The traitors argued... the rules of their clan were too foolish, guarding some meaningless things, and living generation by generation in this sunless place.

"Having martial arts but wasting the prime years of life.

"Jianghu is full of excitement and color; how could they willingly bury themselves here?

"With their martial arts, as long as they left this place, as long as they could break free from constraints, they would have a broad and successful path ahead!

"For this, even if rivers of blood flowed, it was worth the sacrifice."

"..."

Su Mo softly exhaled, not wanting to make any comment.

Yang Xiaoyun, however, was filled with righteous indignation: "Just for personal desires, they could harm their own clan? Born here, raised here, and yet showing no gratitude at all?"

"This is where the ghosts of human hearts reside."

Yang Yizhi glanced at Yang Xiaoyun and smiled gently: "Jianghu is cruel, often because of some people’s personal desires.

"If the desired object is of utmost necessity, and there are no bindings of conscience and morality in their methods, they naturally resort to all possible means.

"You can’t expect everyone in Jianghu to be like Su Tianyang."

"Hmm..."

Yang Xiaoyun seemed to be reminiscing the days of childhood, relying on her father, listening to him narrating stories of Jianghu.

She couldn’t help but ask in a low voice, "What happened next?"

"Afterward... eventually, someone couldn’t bear to see his wife harmed, couldn’t bear to see his recently toddling, babbling child tortured.

"Finally, he spoke out.

"Li Siyun said, this was exactly what their clan should have protected.

"But when that person spoke, he found himself unable to hate him.

"They had already paid too much of a price, and that person just didn’t want... his own wife and children to suffer too much humiliation."

Su Mo sighed upon hearing this: "So, even though it was revealed, they still couldn’t escape death."

Yang Yizhi had already mentioned at the beginning of the story, within the clan’s land, everywhere was soaked with blood, bodies piled up like mountains, it’s clear none survived.

Even after talking, they were bound to die.

But, at least, they could die with some dignity.

"However, those adversaries also didn’t really get what they wanted accordingly.

"They followed the clues to find the hidden place, but just when they were about to obtain what they wanted, those traitors who had betrayed their own people suddenly revolted again.

"This, however, was expected."

Yang Yizhi looked at Su Mo.

Su Mo reluctantly nodded: "Times change, and in fact, when they led their adversaries into the clan land, they had already lost their utility. freewebnσvel.cøm

"And when they opened the last hiding place, even the last bit of possible utility was gone.

"They knew to revolt, which wasn’t a case of wisdom blurred by greed; otherwise, once their adversaries were fully satisfied, their time of death would have arrived."

Yang Yizhi nodded lightly: "You indeed are thoughtful about this aspect, negotiating with tigers, isn’t it reckless? Their cooperation itself was full of mutual wariness.

"How many daring schemers in this world are simple?

"A fool, even if wanting to harm others, wouldn’t know how.

"Remember, when you travel in Jianghu in the days to come, the danger isn’t merely that your opponents are more skilled in martial arts.

"More importantly, it’s about cunning mind games!

"These people, though conspiring against their own kin for their selfish reasons, wanted to use their adversaries to rid themselves of the shackles that had always bound them.

"But they weren’t planning to trade one set of shackles for another.

"To control their own destinies, they had to make choices.

"And their choice was to betray one last time at the final moment.

"This twist, although not completely unexpected by those adversaries, was still sudden.

"It even led to the initially subdued clan members to fight back, causing the scene to become utterly chaotic.

"In the ensuing chaotic battle, the few traitors actually managed to grab a portion of the guarded items.
