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

Chapter 491: Chapter 231 Situ in Danger_2

The thoughts within her heart lingered, but it was merely a momentary affair.

The girl didn’t dwell much on this issue and directly said:

“Hui Bian claimed to be from the Southwest Hongyun Temple, following Master Hongyun all the way to Dongcheng, aiming to convert the Evil People of the Dongcheng Demon Sect.

“At first, things were quite smooth.

“These people had exceptional martial arts skills, far from ordinary.

“Even though the martial arts of the Evil People were formidable and their methods were strange, they still couldn’t best them.

“They made significant progress deep into the territory.

“However, it’s easy to block a spear in the open but hard to defend against a hidden arrow; ultimately, they still fell victim to a trap.

“The ones who ambushed them were experts from Nirvana Heavenly Palace.

“They used the common folk as bait, luring Master Hongyun and others to Jifen Mountain, over a hundred miles away from here.

“There, they set up a Heaven and Earth Net with poison smoke and Arrays to trap them.

“This event has already been ten days ago.

“When we met Hui Bian that day, about seven days had already passed.

“They had nothing to eat in the mountains, barely surviving on bark and roots.

“Master Hongyun had always said that going to Dongcheng to vanquish demons, even if it led to death, was due to karma.

“However, he couldn’t bear to see his disciples in such dire straits, thus he made a last-ditch effort to try and get his disciples out.

“But, exhausting all his strength, he only managed to send out a dozen or so people.

“In the end, the only one who truly escaped was Hui Bian!”

Su Mo listened with furrowed brows, having arrived in Tianqu City; not finding any news about this old Monk, he felt something was amiss.

But no news is actually good news; he was barely at ease.

Moreover, entangled with matters concerning Wan Cangxin, Su Mo didn’t bother to make further inquiries.

Unexpectedly, Master Hongyun had fallen prey to another’s scheming.

For a moment, he couldn’t help but feel helpless.

Compared to the malicious intentions of the Evil People of the Demon Sect, Master Hongyun indeed was somewhat hard to deal with.

And the girl then continued:

“After Hui Bian barely finished telling these events, he passed away right there.

“Before dying, he said he was originally a bandit in the mountains, engulfed in myriad sins, beyond redemption.

“Now that he is dead, it’s merely karma at work.

“Only Master Hongyun’s Buddhist teachings are profound; he really shouldn’t have suffered this misfortune. She hoped that we could think of a way to save him.

“As for this matter…”

At this point, she couldn’t help but glance at Little Situ.

Little Situ’s eyes, unknowable when, had already turned a light shade of red, upon hearing this was about to speak but first sighed:

“This is on me…

“Following Su, the Chief of the Escort, I’ve encountered many affairs of Jianghu.

“In my heart, I underestimated Nirvana Heavenly Palace.

“I also wanted to impress Su, the Chief of the Escort…

“After all, we agreed to meet again in Tianqu City; if I could save all those people, surely Su, the Chief of the Escort, would hold some admiration for me, right?”

“This…”

Su Mo was momentarily speechless: “You indeed didn’t think this through; I was actually already in Tianqu City at that time. After knowing this, you should have sought my help.”

“Yes.”

Little Situ’s face filled with shame: “But, alas… I acted recklessly, taking a few sisters to rescue those Monks.

“Though the Arrays of Nirvana Heavenly Palace are less concerning, the poison smoke is just as it is.

“However, some things are not entirely poison.

“I have little experience in this area since childhood, and elders in the family have always forbidden it.

“As a result, I fell into their trap, having nothing at hand to prepare an Antidote.

“An expert was continuously pressing on us, leaving no time for us.

“At that moment, we were truly stuck between a rock and a hard place; unexpectedly, we encountered Su, the Chief of the Escort, which might be considered Providence.”

At this point, he suddenly furrowed his brows.

Reaching out, he clutched his chest, veins bulging on his hand, his facial expression terrifyingly fierce.

“Young Master!”

The four girls hurriedly gathered around.

Little Situ waved his hand:

“I can… barely hold on, I… I…”

At this, he suddenly spat out a mouthful of fresh blood.

“Little Situ!”

Both Su Mo and Wan Cangxin’s faces changed, about to step forward, when the four girls instinctively stopped them:

“Stop!”

Su Mo was stunned: “What exactly is going on with Little Situ? What kind of poison has he contracted? He is a top disciple from Xuanhu Pavilion, what poison in this world could make him suffer so?

“And why won’t you let us come closer?”

“…we also have our own difficulties.”

The four girls didn’t know how to explain.

They simply said: “The thing afflicting the young master is not entirely poison…this…”

As soon as these words were spoken, Su Mo suddenly looked up towards the cave entrance:

“Someone is coming!”

“It must be those pursuing us.”

The four girls’ expressions darkened, but after looking at Su Mo, they were reassured.

Yet thinking of something, their expressions changed rapidly, like a carousel of emotions.

Wan Cangxin was obviously confused, and even though Su Mo was usually astute, he also didn’t understand what sort of mysterious situation this was.

“Let’s deal with the newcomers first.”

Su Mo didn’t want to delay: “Then I’ll take Little Situ back to Tianqu City, anything we need can be found there.”

“It’s too late…”
