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

Chapter 586: Chapter 263 Store Manager

Although Su Mo only had a brief interaction with Ji Shuhua, it was merely two encounters.

At first, Su Mo did not truly pay much attention to this so-called eternal loyalty.

But this time, seeing the other party, even in the face of death, still concerned about the trust his friend placed in him, Su Mo truly respected him.

To uphold one’s word, even at the cost of one’s life.

It sounds simple, but how many can actually achieve it?

Su Mo asked himself, he was never what one might call a great hero.

Su Tianyang and Yang Yizhi naturally have a heroic spirit, something he, Su Mo, could never learn in his lifetime.

If it were truly a matter of life and death, he would surely prioritize his own survival first, other matters would have to be secondary.

And some things, precisely because he cannot do it, he admires those who can all the more.

Thus, toward these black clothed men, Su Mo truly did not spare any mercy.

He resorted directly to the Three Days of Pain.

After Liu Mo took the men away, Su Mo finally breathed a sigh of relief and took out the box brought by Ji Shuhua.

What exactly this so-called strange iron was, he had to take a look.

This was different from when Su Mo helped to escort the Mysterious Mechanism.

At that time when the man handed over the object, Su Mo was solely focused on how to extricate himself.

He had no curiosity about the contents of the box.

Therefore, throughout the journey, he never checked what exactly was in that box.

Ji Shuhua had already clarified what was in the box, it was natural for Su Mo to check it himself.

However, admiration aside, before opening the box, Su Mo was still cautious.

He still had Yang Xiaoyun hide behind him and he used the Finger Flicking Technique to open the box.

The incident with the Mysterious Mechanism last time, where Yu Lingxin secretly placed the Impermanence Rain Needle inside the box, still made Su Mo nervous to this day.

He wasn’t worried that Ji Shuhua would hide such lethal intent, but he was concerned there might be other tricks.

Many people in Jianghu suffer losses from the unexpected.

Su Mo, although admittedly not perfect in every aspect, thinking ahead and being more cautious could always save him from some losses.

Even if a thousand attempts are futile, the thousand and first might not be.

As the flicking gesture fell, the box popped open, activating the mechanism.

After another flick, the lid finally flipped open.

Seeing no disturbances, Su Mo and Yang Xiaoyun leaned closer, indeed inside was strange iron…

And not just one piece.

There was a large piece, and several smaller ones, fragmented and looking rather dirty and disordered.

Su Mo looked at Yang Xiaoyun:

“Sister Xiao Yun, do you recognize this item?”

Yang Xiaoyun straightforwardly shook her head: “No, I don’t!”

Although she liked weapons, it was only because weapons have their use in martial arts.

But she had never considered forging weapons herself, thus she didn’t know much about them.

Su Mo didn’t know much about this either.

But upon closer inspection, he could see that this so-called strange iron indeed had some extraordinary characteristics.

It had a dark hue with hints of deep blue, and faintly, there seemed to be specks of brilliant light contained within.

It was hard to see the full picture as most of it was wrapped within ordinary stones.

Su Mo thought for a moment, closed the box, and just as Fu Han Yuan and the others returned, Su Mo got them to bring a seal to seal the box.

Then he handed the box to Fu Han Yuan:

“Take it down, have someone guard it well. I will depart for Jifeng Mountain in the next few days.”

“Yes.”

Fu Han Yuan agreed and turned to leave with the box.

Su Mo waved his hand: “Alright, you all may rest.”

Hu Sandao and Zhen Xiaoxiao immediately left, while Su Mo took Yang Xiaoyun back to the study to start planning the journey to Jifeng Mountain.

Indeed, the route to Wusheng Hall was entirely unfamiliar terrain.

According to the knowledge of Yang Xiaoyun and Su Mo, when Su Tianyang was still alive, he had taken the route to Wusheng Hall.

Besides that, within Luoxia City, only Yangwei Escort Agency took this route.

But now that they had to go, they obviously couldn’t inquire about the way forward from Yangwei Escort Agency, could they?

Even if the people in the agency wouldn’t dare to do anything against him, the first expert of Donghuang, they would surely curse him in their hearts.

This was not merely stealing business; it was practically smashing their rice bowls.

In fact, as Ziyang Escort Agency grew stronger, the only remaining one among Luoxia City’s original three major escort agencies was Yangwei Escort Agency, which could no longer compare to Ziyang Escort Agency.

And previously there had been no business conflicts between them.

Iron Blood Escort Agency operated on the Dongcheng route, Heavenly Gate Escort Agency on the Heavenly Blade Sect route, and Yangwei Escort Agency on the Wusheng Hall route.

Originally, Ziyang Escort Agency had taken over the routes of Iron Blood Escort Agency and Heavenly Gate Escort Agency without expanding west.

But now it just so happens to overlap with Yangwei Escort Agency’s route.

Looking at this situation, there will likely be some complications.

“Within Luoxia City, there are still quite a few small and large escort agencies, scattered around, including Yangwei Escort Agency, totaling nine.

“Originally, when the three major escort agencies stood strong in Luoxia City, they didn’t cut off everyone else’s livelihood.

“Now that our Ziyang Escort Agency is thriving, even if unintentionally, it is inevitable that we affect others’ financial paths.

“Xiao Mo… have you thought about how to handle this?”

Since they were discussing this issue, Yang Xiaoyun simply brought this matter up with Su Mo.
