Martial Arts Escort System: I Got A Maxed Level Divine Technique From The Beginning

Chapter 472: Chapter 225 Senior Brother_2

“Moreover, there are only a few more days left until the Tianqu Swordfighting Contest.

“If further chaos ensues during this period, I’m afraid it will really become difficult.”

At this point, he seemed to realize he had spoken out of turn and quickly added, “Look at me, what am I even saying? These matters are indeed unrelated to Su, the Chief of the Escort. Yet here I am, complaining in his presence… It was truly improper.”

“It’s alright.”

Su Mo shook his head slightly: “However, this matter does indeed require Senior Luo to take more care. The Tianqu Swordfighting Contest has stirred up the Dongcheng Feng Yun, causing quite a commotion.

“Now that this incident has occurred, it’s really not easy to settle things down. We need to capture the murderer.”

“That’s exactly right!”

At this, Luo Changsheng stood up:

“Since I’ve received a definitive answer from Lord Su, I shall not impose any further.

“I will take my leave now, thank you, Lord Su.”

“No need for formalities, Senior.”

Su Mo personally escorted him downstairs.

The crowd downstairs was waiting, eager to hear what Luo Changsheng and Su Mo had discussed.

Seeing them coming down, everyone paid close attention, afraid to miss a single word.

Yet Su Mo only saw Luo Changsheng and the people from Yuan Shan Sword Sect to the door, without uttering another word.

This left many feeling disappointed.

Watching as Su Mo returned from outside the inn, some people wanted to approach him for a chat, but they were deterred by Su Mo’s reputation and did not dare to offend him.

Su Mo gave a smile, then clasped his fists in salute to everyone before returning to his seat.

He briefly recounted Luo Changsheng’s words to Wei Ziyi and the others.

He did not use Secret Sound Transmission nor did he cover his voice. Many of the inn’s guests were keen of hearing and saw the whole exchange.

Immediately, there was much whispering among them.

“Could it be that the Huayang Sect Leader was indeed killed by the Heavenly Spring Heart Cleansing Sword? Could there be anyone else?”

“Yes, exactly how many people can master the Heavenly Spring Heart Cleansing Sword?”

“Yet it’s true that last night Wan Cangxin was definitely lured away, which many people witnessed.”

“But who saw him fight the person? They’re both skilled in Qinggong, even Su, the Chief of the Escort, lost their trail without seeing the fight in detail.

“It’s possible that Wan Cangxin vanished for a good while, not to say he didn’t suddenly return to commit the murder and then deliberately show himself!”

“Listening to you, it seems like the murderer might well be Wan Cangxin?”

“This… who can be certain?”

The crowd engaged in spirited discussions, while Wei Ziyi’s brows were furrowed.

She felt that the development of this affair was somewhat amiss.

Just yesterday, she and Su Mo had personally witnessed Wan Cangxin being killed on a tree.

Afterwards, another Wan Cangxin emerged, alive and kicking.

And now the Huayang Sect Leader was stabbed through the heart… This death, was it not identical to that of Wan Cangxin last night?

Could it be that the one who died earlier was not Wan Cangxin, but the Huayang Sect Leader?

Subconsciously, she glanced towards Su Mo, knowing he must be aware of some details.

Unfortunately, the man simply would not speak, which was truly infuriating!

Momentarily, she could only ponder deeply, searching for the possible truths.

Su Mo, however, appeared unaffected, just occasionally glancing at the Scar-faced Strange Guest.

Sensing something, the Scar-faced Strange Guest would mimic Su Mo’s expressions and gaze whenever their eyes met, leaving Su Mo not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

After finishing breakfast, before the guests could even return to their rooms, they heard rapid footsteps at the door of the inn.

This time, it was the Tianqu All-Knowing who entered.

He came in panting, gasping out:

“It’s terrible! The Huayang Sect’s people are blockading Penglai Inn, demanding Ye Shan Sword Sect to give an explanation!”

The guests in the inn, having just finished their meals and having nothing better to do, perked up at the news and promptly got up to leave, eager to witness the commotion.

Wei Ziyi looked at Su Mo, who nodded: “Let’s go, we should take a look as well.”

Penglai Inn was just three streets away from here and they arrived in a moment.

However, by this time, the surroundings were completely surrounded, with people covering the rooftops, eaves, and streets.

Aside from the Jianghu people eager for a spectacle, there were also many citizens of Tianqu City.

Su Mo and his companions found a spot from where they could watch the drama unfold. No sooner had they settled in, when someone from the Huayang Sect shouted angrily:

“Hand over Wan Cangxin!”

“That’s right, our Sect Leader held him in such high regard. Even if there really was some misunderstanding, couldn’t it have been resolved without resorting to murder!?”

“We, the Huayang Sect’s members, have traveled thousands of miles to Tianqu City just to show our support. We never expected that our Sect Leader would be murdered so tragically!”

Their voices echoed loudly, but it was the people of Yuan Shan Sword Sect guarding the entrance to the inn.

How could they let them in?

They had no choice but to keep their cool and explain: “As you’ve said, your Sect Leader greatly esteemed Wan Cangxin, and the two apparently had a good relationship. Why would Wan Cangxin resort to murder?”

“Who can know? Maybe it was a dispute that got out of hand, followed by a murder in a fit of rage!

“As people of the Jianghu, who doesn’t have a bit of fiery temper?”

“Oh? From your words, are you intending to be unreasonable with our Yuan Shan Sword Sect?”

The guards were instantly angered by this retort. The other side had been making a nuisance of themselves at the inn’s entrance for the time it would take to burn one incense stick, and the commotion they created had already garnered much attention. Continuing in this vein was certainly not a good thing.

And for them, one of the Seven Great Sects, to have patiently explained the situation was already admirable. Now facing unreasonable demands?
