Martial Arts Escort System: I Got A Maxed Level Divine Technique From The Beginning-Chapter 303 - 169 Ending_2

"Your father was in good health; how could he get entangled in such matters?

"Truly reckless of life and death.

"My heart tightened, and I lost my composure; the three people inside the room immediately sensed something and came out to capture me..."

She said this and then glared fiercely at Yang Yizhi.

Yang Yizhi, however, shook his head: "This matter is highly confidential, of great importance; any slight disturbance calls for swift and decisive action. But after finding out it was you, didn’t Su Tianyang spend half an hour making amends to you?"

"Hmph... just half an hour."

Ling Hongxia snorted, then continued: "Your father explained the whole situation to me, and I also know that Li Siyun’s clan met a most wretched fate. Nevertheless, I still didn’t want your father to take the risk.

"If only he could have taken a single word of my advice, then...

"Hmph, later, when I saw I really couldn’t persuade him, I had no choice but to let him promise to include me.

"At that time, I thought if it really became unfeasible, I could at least knock him out and take him away at the crucial moment.

"That was my reason for getting involved in this affair.

"Alright, that’s all for my part; as for the business with Lengyue Palace, say it or not as you wish."

After finishing her words, she snorted again and stood to one side, crossing her arms, lost in thought.

Yang Yizhi sighed, "For us, this has indeed brought about unexpected complications, but there is nothing to be done about it. Your father already felt guilty toward her; after being discovered by her, we certainly couldn’t just silence her by killing, right?

"In the end, we had no choice but to agree to her and let her join us.

"What Li Siyun said that day, it definitely wasn’t just about Da Xuan’s Armory.

"The thing that their clan was guarding wasn’t the arsenal itself. ƒгeeweɓn૦vel.com

"But the Mysterious Mechanism, the key to the arsenal...

"According to Li Siyun, there are seven Mysterious Mechanisms in total.

"When the Da Xuan Dynasty collapsed, four of these Mysterious Mechanisms were scattered across Jianghu.

"The Li Siyun’s clan is one of Da Xuan’s descendants, tasked with protecting the remaining three Mysterious Mechanisms.

"However, at the initial collapse of the Da Xuan Dynasty, chaos arose everywhere; mighty powers fought for dominance, and the world was plunged into turmoil.

"Their clan was hunted relentlessly by those with ill intentions and lived in constant fear.

"They feared that any day they might be killed and the Mysterious Mechanisms taken from them.

"So... after much contemplation, they decided to hide these three Mysterious Mechanisms in separate locations.

"Each one left behind clues to unlock it.

"For instance, within the Yuqing Temple Mountain Map, the Mandarin Duck List in Li Siyun’s hands, and... the Golden Jade Cone secretly kept by Heavenly Blade Sect.

"These three combined are exactly the keys to unlock the Secret Storage where the Mysterious Mechanisms are hidden.

"And there are three such secret storages in total.

"They were all created by Li Siyun’s clan, but the methods to open each storage and the relics left behind are all different.

"As for the specifics, even the Li Siyun of the past only had a vague understanding.

"He only knew that, much like how the Golden Jade Cone is hidden with the Heavenly Blade Sect, the map is kept at Yuliu Manor.

"The remaining clues that point the way to the Mysterious Mechanisms are also variously hidden by different Sects and organizations.

"Li Siyun’s clan only left behind three items.

"One of which is the Mandarin Duck List.

"Now with his death, I fear there is only one person left in the world who knows what all those items are."

Su Mo lightly raised his eyebrows: "There’s still one person?"

"Mmm..."

Yang Yizhi nodded: "It is one of the traitors who escaped all those years ago.

"This matter took another turn, which, in retrospect, was fortuitous.

"After Li Siyun finished revealing those secrets, we felt that whoever was pulling strings behind the scenes was extremely cruel; if such a person succeeded,

"Even if they managed to obtain the fortunes to unify the world, that would surely be an extremely ruthless dynasty.

"Just for this reason alone, they must not be allowed to succeed.

"Your Aunt Ling, your father, and I immediately began to practice the Yixuan Divine Skill and the Jinghong Fenguang hand.

"Li Siyun’s injuries from the past were too severe; though the fatal wound was a sword to the heart, his martial skills were nearly ruined, no longer as they were in the past.

"Once the three of us made some accomplishments, we began to plan to help Li Siyun take revenge.

"Their clan’s Jinghong Fenguang hand and the Yixuan Divine Skill were like fireflies in the dark night.

"While escorting the convoy, your father would sometimes travel across Donghuang in disguise, occasionally as a Black-clothed Man, displaying the Jinghong Fenguang hand and the Yixuan Divine Skill to challenge some well-known figures in Jianghu.

"Your Aunt Ling and I would sometimes travel with the convoy, and other times we would go our separate ways.

"The purpose of this move, I am sure you understand without me saying."

"Drawing the snake out of its hole."

Su Mo nodded: "The fleeing traitor’s whereabouts are something the Three Extremes Sect would surely want to know.

"And whether those traitors are united must be verified."

"That’s exactly it."

Yang Yizhi sighed: "But we hadn’t expected that the people from the Three Extremes Sect would be even more patient than we anticipated.

"The first person to seek us out turned out to be a member of Li Siyun’s clan.

"After your father captured this person, a severe interrogation revealed that a change had taken place in the past.

"The reason why the Earth Sect Master had not managed to send our message back in time was because a problem had arisen within the Three Extremes Sect.

"There was discord among their ranks, and they were meanwhile besieged by a group of unknown assailants."
