Martial Arts Escort System: I Got A Maxed Level Divine Technique From The Beginning-Chapter 377 - 193: Reunion_3

Within moments, the sound of shouting reached their ears.

Another voice started yelling loudly:

"This waterway is temporarily closed. There will be a major event ahead tomorrow, and if you don’t wish to rashly get involved and lose your lives, it’s best that you turn back immediately. After this matter is settled, we can then negotiate again."

The voice was loud and boisterous.

Su Mo, however, felt there was something familiar about it, and after a moment of thought, an image of someone flashed in his mind.

Inside the same cabin, Captain Li and others, who were also awakened by this voice, opened their eyes one after another and subconsciously looked towards Su Mo.

Su Mo gave a slight ponder and said to Captain Li and Fu Han Yuan, "You two take people to guard around the entrusted goods, I’ll go out and have a look..."

"I’ll go too."

Wei Ziyi hastily raised her hand.

Su Mo frowned slightly but eventually nodded, and said to Fu Han Yuan, "Send someone to invite Little Situ over to help keep watch as well."

"Understood."

Fu Han Yuan agreed, and casually signaled someone to go invite Little Situ.

He had been very obedient these few days, so Su Mo temporarily promoted him, though not directly from a squad member to an Escort master.

Instead, he became the squad leader, with the right to issue some less urgent commands.

Fu Han Yuan was quite pleased with this, feeling that even before this escort mission was over, he could already improve his status.

After this mission, wouldn’t he directly become an Escort Leader?

In a moment’s satisfaction, he became even more energetic, feeling that even a small role like a squad member had a bright future.

The only regret was... with such a status, there was still no horse to ride.

Su Mo and Wei Ziyi had already left the cabin and went straight onto the deck.

At this moment, the deck was already crowded with people. frёewebnoѵēl.com

Lifting his eyes to look, Su Mo had not yet seen who the arrival was but had already seen the brightly lit riverway not far away.

From afar, dozens of large ships had stopped.

The flags on each ship were different, and it was apparent that at this time, the river bandits of this river had all gathered in the area belonging to the Hongye Gang.

Just as he approached, he heard Manager Zhan’s voice laugh and say:

"Esteemed heroes, I am merely passing through here, and if there is anything that needs to be tipped off, I will not be stingy. Please let my small boat pass..."

"Do you not understand human speech?"

The man with the rough voice angrily said: "I’m not stopping you from going through, but right now nobody is allowed to go through.

"There will be a major event happening here, and right now we are forming a defensive fleet. By intruding, aren’t you stirring up trouble?"

As soon as he finished speaking, several voices shouted angrily:

"Bullshit, who are you calling a dirty thing?"

The talking person was startled, impatiently waved his hand towards the river behind him and said, "Not talking about you!"

Then he turned around and spoke: "If you are unwilling to return to Three Rivers Bay, then just stop the boat and wait by the shore for one day.

"Let’s see what your fate looks like. If you’re lucky, maybe you’ll have a chance to survive and go downstream...

"If you’re unlucky, then you’ll just have to die on this river.

"Heh... how does that saying go? Good advice is beyond some people’s reach. I, your father, have already made it crystal clear. When the time comes to cry for your parents, don’t blame me for not warning you."

Manager Zhan was so taken aback by the speech that he didn’t know how to respond for a while.

Then he heard a voice coldly chuckle:

"That’s quite arrogant. Are all the powerful figures in the land of Donghuang this unreasonable?"

A man in black clothes with a stern face stepped forward: "We have said all the nice words we have, if you still refuse to let us pass, then we can settle it with action."

"Hmm?"

The speaking man’s face darkened: "Very well, very well. I have been operating on this river for many years, and I didn’t expect to see an ’overseas dragon’ today!

"Come on, let’s see how you’re going to make me see your so-called ’action.’"

As the words fell, the sound of whistling wind rose, with several more people leaping onto the head of the ship.

Their gazes were icy as they stared at Manager Zhan and his party.

Seeing this, Manager Zhan knew that things were not looking good.

There’s a saying, the mighty dragon can’t suppress the local snakes, even though this man in black by his side is indeed skilled in martial arts. But on someone else’s turf, even if you are an ’overseas dragon,’ you must still abide by the local rules.

They have already caused offense with their words at this moment and crossed a line.

At once, he hurried forward to smooth things over:

"Esteemed heroes, valiant heroes! My brother has been rash with his words, please don’t take it to heart. Here, on his behalf, I apologize to everyone. If the esteemed heroes could forgive this matter..."

"How could we not?"

The previous speaker coldly laughed: "People like us doing business on this river always talk about reason before resorting to fists. It’s better to spare lives than to cause unnecessary deaths. But unexpectedly, today we’ve met an ’overseas dragon’ who’s come to our territory trying to strut around like they own the place?

"How would that sound if it spread? It would be a disgrace. Even if I could dismiss him as a fart, what about my reputation after it goes around?

"From now on, if everyone runs into my territory, trying to be a fart under my control, expecting me to let them go, should I let them go or not?"

With this said, it seemed there was no room left for negotiation.

The black-clothed man’s face turned iron blue, yet he hesitated to move, despite not seeming troubled by handling those on the ship.

However, there were simply too many people under the command of those on the river...

The only strategy left was to capture the thief by first capturing the king!

If they could capture the leader among them, they would surely be able to open a path to survival.

But after this episode, passing through here again would become extremely difficult.

For the time being, both parties were on edge, on the verge of action, when a voice rang out:

"Ha-ha-ha, I wondered who was making a racket in the middle of the night talking nonsense.

"It turns out to be the Xuanlong Water Village Chief. Haven’t seen you in months, all well?"

As he spoke, a figure arrived as if riding the wind. In the blink of an eye, he stood between the two confronting sides. He looked up and swept a glance behind the Xuanlong Water Village Chief, recognizing many familiar faces.

Jiaolong Association’s ZhuGe Changtian, the Hongye Gang Leader were among them.

Under the firelight, the newcomer revealed his figure, and amidst the shock, the three simultaneously exclaimed:

"Su, the Chief of the Escort!!?"
