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

Chapter 179: Chapter 128: Return Trip

Throughout the series of incidents involving the Heavenly Blade Sect, it all begins with Ji Wanli from the Heavenly Gate Escort Agency delivering an escort assignment.

Tong Yun, distracted by this particular job, became mentally disheveled and ultimately disappeared.

Thereafter, the Moon Blade was stolen, leading Nangong Yu to determine that the person behind the scenes intended to target the Golden Jade Cone, thereby increasing their vigilance.

Fu Han Yuan’s challenge was confirmed to be part of the enemy’s plan.

It is very likely their objective was to force Nangong Yu to wield that blade.

At the same time, someone disguised as a Heavenly Blade Sect Disciple started setting fires everywhere within the sect, leaving the Heavenly Sect Disciples no time to attend to anything else.

Worried about the safety of the Golden Jade Cone, Nangong Yu went to investigate and was eventually followed.

The perpetrator revealed themselves and opened the treasury in front of him, stealing the Golden Jade Cone.

What’s more, there was even an attempt to kill Nangong Yu on the spot. Had it not been for Su Mo’s timely presence at the scene, Nangong Yu would not have escaped fate!

Within this entire incident, there are several key points.

The first is the identity of the person who stole the Moon Blade!

This person was very familiar with the Heavenly Blade Sect Martial Arts; they moved effortlessly within Wanfeng Pool, took the Moon Blade and left, and although the Heavenly Blade Sect sealed off the surrounding area, they could never find a trace of this person.

This shows that this person also has an intimate knowledge of the landscape surrounding the Heavenly Blade Sect.

The second, the identity of the person who pursued Ji Feiyang!

This individual was proficient in heavenly blade Sect Martial Arts and used the sect’s Blade Techniques while chasing Ji Feiyang, which is why even up to now, Ji Feiyang still believes that Ji Wanli fell victim to the Heavenly Blade Sect’s doing.

In fact, the Seven Emotions Undying Blade is indeed very difficult to imitate.

The third, the identity of the person who instructed Fu Han Yuan!

This person is extensively knowledgeable about the Heavenly Blade Sect, not only mastering its martial arts but also clearly understanding every member’s weaknesses.

Such knowledge could only come from a very close associate, impossible otherwise!

There’s another point, this person knew the weaknesses of everyone in the Heavenly Blade Sect but somehow overlooked Tong Yun.

To call this a coincidence would be too much of a stretch, wouldn’t it?

Combining these three points, Su Mo has always felt that Tong Yun’s role behind the scenes may not be as simple as he first thought.

The weaknesses of the Heavenly Blade Sect members are very likely as this person said.

Furthermore, this person might also be the one who passed on the Heavenly Blade Sect’s martial arts to outsiders.

If this conclusion holds, it would mean that Tong Yun and the mastermind behind the scenes are in cahoots, jointly plotting for the Golden Jade Cone…

But the problem also lies here!

Nangong Yu said that the Moon Blade is the key to the treasury, and only Tong Yun and he knew the location of the treasury.

This overturns all of Su Mo’s previous speculations.

If Tong Yun was really in cahoots with the other party, why would he tell everything else but not disclose the location of the treasury?

Instead, why would they need to set fires in the Heavenly Blade Sect, employing this tactic to lure the snake out of its hole?

This also caused the situation, which had previously been clear in Su Mo’s mind, to become somewhat unpredictable again.

It couldn’t be that Tong Yun, after betraying the Heavenly Blade Sect for so many years, was suddenly regretting it, could it?

Of course, this couldn’t be mentioned in front of Nangong Yu.

But then Liu Mo asked, “May I ask Nangong Sect Leader, what exactly is the Golden Jade Cone? Why would the other party covet it for so many years?”

Su Mo and Yang Xiaoyun also looked towards Nangong Yu.

Unexpectedly, the old man laughed awkwardly:

“This, actually, I don’t really know.”

“…”

The three of them, Su Mo included, were at a loss for words. Could he really not know?

“Actually… I don’t particularly care.”

Nangong Yu hehe chuckled: “Our heavenly blade Sect practices the highest being hiding emotions, yet we devote all our emotions to the blade. Thus, aside from the blade, we desire nothing else.

“The Golden Jade Cone seems to be involved in significant matters, yet it has never been regarded highly by successive generations of our sect.

“It was just something brought back by our seventh generation ancestor when he set foot in the Jianghu and he personally supervised the building of the treasury, which led to creating the key of the Moon Blade.

“After the passing of the seventh generation ancestor, the Moon Blade was placed inside Wanfeng Pool, and from then on, no one paid much attention to it.

“Throughout generations, typically only two people knew about the treasury: the Sect Leader and the guardian of the treasure, hmm, that would be the junior sect uncle Tong Yun.”

Upon hearing this, Su Mo had a strange expression: “So, when the Sect Leader previously mentioned adding personnel… that referred to?”

“Well, ordinary disciples don’t know exactly where the treasury is, but it’s certainly within the territory of the Heavenly Blade Sect. All I need to do is have the disciples patrol the area more frequently,” Nangong Yu said, shaking his head.

“Who could have guessed that Fu Han Yuan’s challenge would draw away some disciples to watch, and then these people secretly set fires, causing most disciples to run to put out the fires. As a result… the Golden Jade Cone just disappeared.

“But it’s fine that it’s gone; after all, it wasn’t something belonging to the Heavenly Blade Sect in the first place, so it’s no big deal that it’s lost.”

He seemed to take it easy, apparently having lost interest in the Golden Jade Cone long ago.

Su Mo found himself both amused and confused, giving a light chuckle: “Nangong Sect Leader has quite the lofty detachment.”

“It’s not really about being lofty or not,” Nangong Yu sighed. “I’m genuinely uninterested, but since it’s a task handed down by our ancestors, it cannot be neglected. Now that it’s lost, it’s one and all. Later, I will have the disciples go check it out, do what we can, so that a hundred years later, when I face the seventh generation ancestor, I have something to report.”
