Martial Arts Escort System: I Got A Maxed Level Divine Technique From The Beginning-Chapter 326 - 176: Asking for Guilt_3

Lifting his eyes, he saw a middle-aged man standing atop the roof of the City Lord Manor.

With hands behind his back and stern gaze, he exuded extraordinary authority.

The reason he stood on the roof wasn’t to assume a position of superiority from above.

Mainly because there were too many people at the door, and it wasn’t proper for him to squeeze in with his subordinates, tugging and pulling ungracefully.

Instead, he leaped up to watch who was causing trouble at the door.

Su Mo glanced at the man: "Are you Zhou Qingchuan?"

"It is indeed I, who might you be?"

"Ziyang Escort Agency...Su Mo!"

"What?"

Zhou Qingchuan was taken aback, his face suddenly showing flickers of change.

A person’s fame spreads like a shadow; Su Mo made a name for himself in Xuanji Valley, shaking the entire Southwest Martial World.

His martial arts skills were hailed as the top among the younger generation.

Moreover, irrespective of his martial prowess, considering his deeds during the battle at Xuanji Valley, how many in the entire Southwest Martial World owed him favors?

Not to mention anyone else, but just think about Liu Suifeng from Yuliu Manor...

What kind of figure was he? ƒrēewebnoѵёl.cσm

Even the Luofeng Alliance had to show him respect, to say nothing of Su Mo who owed him a great life-saving favor.

Zhou Qingchuan initially thought Su Mo was just a nobody, perhaps someone who had gotten his hands on a Phoenix Order and come here trying his luck.

But unexpectedly, it turned out to be such a troublesome individual.

Suddenly, he felt overwhelmed.

Yet Su Mo didn’t care what he thought, only loudly laughed:

"City Lord Zhou, there’s a person here who I’d like you to take a look at."

"A person?"

Zhou Qingchuan was startled, wondering if Liu Suifeng had also come.

What was going on?

In a moment of bewilderment, he saw behind Su Mo, not far away, a burly man suddenly grabbed a horse’s rope and with a flick of his wrist, a person was already in his palm.

This person was covered in blood, seemingly a step away from death.

Held by the strong man, thrown towards him with a flick of the hand.

The wind roared, demonstrating formidable force.

Zhou Qingchuan was taken by surprise, immediately clasped his hands and placed them on the person’s shoulders, then crisscrossed his hands, making the person spin in midair, neutralizing the incoming force.

Upon catching the person, a close look revealed him barely breathing, his clothes turned into strips, his flesh turned inside out, all blurred.

It was hard to discern what the person’s face really looked like.

For a moment, he was perplexed: "Lord Su, the Chief of the Escort, what is the meaning of this? Who is this person?"

"A hundred miles east of Zhongfu City, there’s a village. May I ask if this village falls within your jurisdiction of Zhongfu City?"

Su Mo answered irrelevantly.

"Naturally!"

Zhou Qingchuan didn’t hesitate at this point - if he dared to shake his head, Wei Ruhan would dare say it was his territory.

"This village was massacred overnight, leaving only this child alive, yet he too was severely injured at the Heart Meridian, nearly dying on the spot."

Su Mo continued, while Zhou Qingchuan thus shifted his gaze onto the child in Su Mo’s arms.

He had noticed the child from the start but hadn’t understood the implication.

Now, hearing this, he felt a cold sweat trickle down his forehead.

Immediately, he said hurriedly: "Lord Su, the Chief of the Escort, please listen to me..."

But Su Mo didn’t intend to listen: "The murderers are from Wusheng Hall to the west, from the Western Border Guanchuan’s Guanchuan Five Ghosts! The person in your hands is one of these Five Ghosts.

"I must ask you, when the Guanchuan Five Ghosts entered the territory of Zhongfu City, were you completely unaware?"

At this moment, the commoners watching the commotion in front of the City Lord Manor also understood why this group of people had suddenly arrived, and their presence was even more imposing.

It turned out that someone could not stand idly by within the territory of Zhongfu City, witnessing such a horrendous bloodshed, hence they came to levy charges.

At once, all eyes turned towards Zhou Qingchuan.

Zhou Qingchuan’s expression alternated between shades, intending to evade the question by claiming that Su Mo was not from the Luofeng Alliance and that it was none of his business.

However, Su Mo had come bearing the Phoenix Order.

The authority of the Phoenix Order could be significant or trivial, but as long as Wei Ruhan lived, the Wei Token was in a league of its own compared to other Phoenix Orders.

Although normally, relying on a Phoenix Order wouldn’t extend its reach over other alliance leaders,

The problem was, firstly this was a Wei Token, secondly, the person involved was Su Mo, and thirdly, the incident was too atrocious.

At this moment, it left him no choice but to respond.

Immediately gritting his teeth: "This seat... knows nothing!"

"Outrageous!"

Su Mo suddenly burst into a great fury: "The Luofeng Alliance governs the land of Four Cities, Three Rivers, and Two Bays, all people under its jurisdiction.

"As the lord of a city, when such characters as the Guanchuan Five Ghosts enter your land, you had not the slightest awareness.

"Leading to the gruesome deaths of the commoners!

"Zhou Qingchuan, do you admit your guilt!?"

"Outrageous, even if I am at fault, how dare an escort leader from an escort agency question me?"

Zhou Qingchuan felt a chill in his heart, knowing Su Mo was looking for an excuse to act.

Holding the Wei Token meant he had an unusual relationship with Wei Ruhan.

And now that Wei Ruhan had pushed Wei Ziyi into the Luofeng Alliance, Su Mo was likely leveraging this to pave a path for Wei Ziyi by eliminating rivals!

"Ha ha ha!"

Su Mo bellowed with laughter: "Not to mention today I hold the Phoenix Order, which gives me a say in a fraction of the Luofeng Alliance’s affairs.

"Even if I didn’t have this Phoenix Order today, the matters of the world concern all under heaven. You, as one of the leaders of Luofeng Alliance, idle away your post, first doing nothing for alliance’s growth, second not seeking welfare for the commoners, watching such an atrocious bloodshed happen among the people under your control, and yet remain ignorant...

"It’s truly laughable!

"Such an alliance leader is no better than none!"

With those words, he suddenly rose to his feet and flew straight towards Zhou Qingchuan.

Zhou Qingchuan was already prepared to react, knowing that at this point, he could only fight. He immediately stretched out both palms, aiming to strike first.

But he saw Su Mo disregard his two approaching palms without even a glance, allowing them to land on him, only to feel like the palms had met iron, Su Mo remaining unshaken. Meanwhile, his own arms trembled violently from the impact!

A reverse flow of blood surged to his heart, and then he saw a palm approaching his face, overshadowing the sky. There was a roaring noise in his head, and then he knew nothing more.

Onlookers only saw Su Mo, the Chief of Ziyang Escort Agency, leap into the air, rigidly catch Zhou Qingchuan’s two palms, and with a final palm strike to Zhou Qingchuan’s head, blow the city lord’s brains out, killing him on the spot.

Following swiftly, Su Mo tapped his toe on the eaves, and came down in front of the City Lord Manor, casually taking back the Phoenix Order from Lord Liu’s hand.

Lord Liu’s face was ashen: "You... you..."

But Su Mo couldn’t be bothered to spare him another look, merely waving his hand at Zhen Xiaoxiao: "Let’s go."

Zhen Xiaoxiao grinned, and with a shove, the crowd collapsed in a heap.

As the two turned to leave, a voice echoed from afar:

"Who dares to cause such disturbance at the Zhongfu City Lord’s Manor!?"

...

...
