Martial Arts Escort System: I Got A Maxed Level Divine Technique From The Beginning-Chapter 319 - 174 Death Order_2

From the claims of these people, the Seven Great Sects had fended off the Eternal Night Valley, which indicates that the Night Lord had not truly penetrated deep into Tianqu City.

He feigned this attack with a purpose, I’m afraid it’s not simple.

Su Mo had some suspicions in his heart, but he dared not confirm them.

However, after returning to Luoxia City this time and finishing this grand farce of mourning, it would be just the right moment to pay a visit to the Ziyang Sect.

By then, the situation might already be clear.

While this thought lingered in his mind, he heard another voice rising up by his ear.

"Eternal Night Valley’s rash action is truly unwise." fгeewebnovёl.com

At the start, everyone sneered at this comment.

What would a bystander like you know about the Night Lord’s thoughts?

You might not even understand the arrangements of the Seven Great Sects, yet you casually critique with such ease.

Immediately, many people started to ridicule him.

However, that person did not care, he merely smiled and said:

"Have you all forgotten about Monk Hongyun?"

"Hongyun Demon Monk?"

Someone blurted out instantly, such a manner of addressing is mostly used by those from the Green Forest Road.

Su Mo quietly glanced at that person, then silently withdrew his gaze.

"What does this Monk Hongyun have to do with this matter?"

"Speaking of which, since the incident at the Jiaolong Water Fort, it seems that Monk Hongyun has turned a blind eye to the big thieves Along the River, heading straight to Jiyang Ferry, then disappeared without a trace."

"Of course you wouldn’t know, Monk Hongyun actually headed towards Tianqu City."

Upon hearing this, everyone present took a sharp breath.

Tianqu City is where the Dongcheng Sects and the Demon Sect engage in their confrontations—is Monk Hongyun going to convert the Demon Sect?

For a moment, everyone present looked at each other, unsure of what to say.

The person who spoke earlier snorted, quite smug, and said with a smile:

"Don’t you know? Right after the episode at the Jiaolong Water Fort, Monk Hongyun rushed to Tianqu City. He probably encountered something within the Jiaolong Association that made him change his mind.

"He thinks to truly convert people to Buddhism, he should start with those demon spawn of the Demon Sect."

"Master Hongyun’s act is of immeasurable merit."

"Exactly so."

"The Demon Sect’s conduct is vile, their methods are extremely cruel. The people under their rule are suffering; everywhere is in turmoil."

"Humph, the Youquan Sect kidnaps living people for their practice, Eternal Night Valley even goes as far as skinning people alive, and as for the Jile Heavenly Palace, anyone they fancy ends up in their beds, and when they come out, they are nothing but human skin wrapped around bones.

"Underneath the Jile Treasure Pavilion are countless skeletons, their crimes are too numerous to record!"

"This is the fundamental opposition of good and evil. Right now, we can do good business in this territory, have clothes to wear, and food to eat, all thanks to the protection of the righteous martial cultivators.

Otherwise, where would our good days come from?"

"Well said! That’s why we say, if Master Hongyun wishes to use his martial arts to convert the Demon Sect, that would truly be an act of immeasurable merit, admirable indeed."

"But I wonder how Master Hongyun is doing now?"

The last sentence was a query, obviously still coming from the initial speaker.

That person spoke with a smile: "Master Hongyun is indeed a highly virtuous monk. Not long after he went to Tianqu City, the Demon Sect started to stir... Vice Palace Master Gu Biyan of Jile Heavenly Palace, missing without a trace!"

"Ah?"

Everyone was startled.

The vice palace master of the Jile Heavenly Palace, Gu Biyan... This name was rather unfamiliar to them, but the Jile Heavenly Palace was often mentioned.

"Could it be that she encountered Master Hongyun?"

"Master Hongyun is profoundly wise in Buddhist law, but it’s uncertain whether this beauty has lost all her appeal."

"Nonsense, Master Hongyun has the heart to convert evil people, how could he be swayed by a lowly person like Gu Biyan?"

Everyone started to chat, each saying their piece.

After all, travel can be lonely, and when travelers from all over the world gather, exchanging the knowledge they have and drinking and laughing together is an excellent pastime.

Su Mo, however, listened with silence for a long while.

Gu Biyan was not converted by Master Hongyun... she was taken away by Wu Daoyou.

This vice palace master of the Jile Heavenly Palace had a rather special background.

Originally, she was a spy planted into the Jile Heavenly Palace by the Three Extremes Sect, but to their surprise, with her exceptional talent, she worked her way up from an ordinary disciple to the position of vice palace master.

Because of this, she also gained high regard from the Heavenly Gate Master.

However, ever since the incident with Tong Yun, the Three Extremes Sect’s attitude towards their spies had quietly changed.

Even if the Heavenly Gate Master valued Gu Biyan, he would not reveal too many secrets to her.

Thus, what she knew was even less than what Liu Yun Scholar knew.

This mission was crucial, and the Heavenly Gate Master needed a substitute.

Clearly, ordinary people were not significant enough, which is why they thought of Gu Biyan.

This person is interesting, whether it’s being influenced by the Jile Heavenly Palace or not, she loved beauty and feared hardship. After some troubles, she spilled everything she could.

In essence, she helped confirm the list written by the Heavenly Gate Master.

Afterwards, she was kept by Wu Daoyou, considering her a valuable commodity.

The Jile Heavenly Palace has always been a major enemy of the Dongcheng Sects. With Gu Biyan falling into their hands, negotiations moving eastward would become easier.

After all, as fellow righteous martial cultivators, if the Phoenix Alliance could present a stance of not encroaching on others’ territory but merely focusing on business, perhaps they could achieve remarkable results.

To this point, Su Mo had heard the follow-ups to both matters.

In the following days, however, he heard about another piece of gossip regarding Wusheng Hall.

This piece of gossip seemed to arrive a bit late; it was brought over by a merchant from Wusheng Hall.
