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

Chapter 218: Chapter 141 Water Prison

River Bandit King?

Yang Xiaoyun’s ears perked up again, feeling as if she had heard something marvelous.

But upon further reflection, she felt that what Su Mo said was quite fitting.

At this point, the Third Master dared not hold anything back, telling all he knew without reservation, whether it was all credible or not, was up to interpretation.

According to the Third Master, this group of black-clothed men came from Eternal Night Valley.

They had just approached a few days ago, looking for ZhuGe Changtian.

This group was highly skilled in martial arts; they stealthily infiltrated the Jiaolong Association’s Water Fort without anyone noticing.

At that time, the Third Master was called to the hall, only then did he realize that uninvited guests had arrived.

After some conversation, the group offered ZhuGe Changtian a tremendously lucrative opportunity.

Only when ZhuGe Changtian inquired further did he learn that their plan was to consolidate the river thieves, taking control from Three Rivers Bay all the way to the Ningshui River at Fanqiong Port.

However, this proposition sounded somewhat like a fool’s dream.

Ordinary people might not understand, but ZhuGe Changtian knew this stretch of water spanned so long, it almost encircled half of Dongcheng.

There were countless formidable thieves, intertwined in complex relationships.

Among them, there were at least a dozen with powerful martial arts and vast influence, far beyond what the Jiaolong Association could compare to.

Even the three pirate leaders who came to find fault at the Jiaolong Association Water Fort today paled in comparison.

Yet, in further discussion, it became known that the territory under the Jiaolong Association’s control was merely the beginning phase.

It spanned the section from Three Rivers Bay to the Jiyang Ferry Point.

Even so, ZhuGe Changtian still did not agree.

During the conversation, a conflict arose, and within moments, a fight broke out.

ZhuGe Changtian and the Second Master teamed up, but were no match for the opposing Shadow Envoy. They were all captured and are now imprisoned in the Water Fort’s Water Prison.

The Third Master then stated that a wise man does not fight when the odds are against him. He wanted to preserve his strength to potentially rescue his brothers from their predicament.

That’s why he compromised, hoping to achieve a greater plan.

As for this statement… Su Mo certainly did not believe it.

And while the people from Eternal Night Valley may or may not believe the Third Master either, they indeed allowed him to temporarily hold the position of Master of the Jiaolong Association.

Anyone within the fort who was not obedient has already been locked away in prison.

Those who are still active outside have already pledged allegiance to Eternal Night Valley.

Having said all this, the Third Master just lamented why his subordinates were so obedient?

He ordered them to retreat, and everyone actually left without a trace.

If even one person came over and shouted loudly at this time, how could these two escape the Jiaolong Association Water Fort?

Su Mo and Yang Xiaoyun exchanged a glance and then asked:

“Does the Third Master have any knowledge about Eternal Night Valley?”

“This…”

The Third Master nodded: “Eternal Night Valley is one of the Dongcheng Demon Sects, renowned alongside the Youquan Sect. This is also the main reason why our leader was unwilling to collaborate with them.

“He said, although we are pirates and our trade is risky, there still needs to be integrity and righteousness in this world. Even for those in the Green Forest, we cannot disregard human lives.

“Nor can we join forces with these Evil Demons.

“It was this declaration that completely infuriated the people from Eternal Night Valley, leading to the violent conflict…

“In my opinion, our leader is simply too stubborn.

“With just a bit of diplomacy, pretend to comply on the surface, and behind the scenes do as we will—doesn’t that leave matters in our own hands?

“Besides, a group of Mad Monks is about to arrive along the river, and there’s already enough trouble as it is.

“With Eternal Night Valley orchestrating efforts in the background, these Mad Monks may not necessarily succeed.

“Moreover, Eternal Night Valley seems to also have reservations, setting a deadline of only fifteen days for the Chain Boat Barrier.

“The purpose is to coax the leader into a trap.

“They dare not delay, seemingly worried that escalating the issue would draw unnecessary trouble and alert the Dongcheng Sects.

“So, if our leader had just deliberated a bit, he could turn the situation to our advantage by using Eternal Night Valley’s actions—why be so unyielding…”

Su Mo listened, neither agreeing nor objecting, and looked at Yang Xiaoyun: “Does Sister Xiao Yun have any more questions?”

“No.”

Yang Xiaoyun shook her head and turned away, losing interest in further watching.

She knew what Su Mo was about to do…

Although Su Mo was always the virtuous gentleman before taking action, greeting everyone with a smile, whether they were mountain bandit leaders or waiters encountered during the Five Directions Gathering.

However, once he took action, he never left survivors.

The Third Master, having been around the Jianghu, immediately realized what Su Mo intended to do, his eyes bulging in panic as he tried to shout for help. However, with Su Mo’s swift palm strike, how could he have a chance?

With a muffled thump, his skull was crushed.

The body went limp, Su Mo caught it smoothly, and casually tore strips from the man’s clothes, binding the corpse’s hands behind its back.

Yang Xiaoyun watched curiously: “What are you planning now?”

“The lesson from the Yin Mountain Ghost Lord taught me that there are too many martial arts techniques in this world, including countless ways to feign death and escape.

“Although it seems this Third Master lacks such abilities, it’s better to be safe.

“If we set a fire here, it could easily cause complications.

“So, why not sink him into the water?

“With his hands tied behind his back, even if he does possess some ability to revive himself, he would still inevitably drown.”

Yang Xiaoyun thought for a moment and nodded heavily: “You’re more thorough in your thinking; indeed, flip him over, tie his hands and feet together, that’s more secure. Also, we should sever his tendons in both hands and feet, otherwise if he channels his Inner Strength, he might just break free.”
