Martial Arts Escort System: I Got A Maxed Level Divine Technique From The Beginning-Chapter 393 - 199: Old Friends of Green Forest

"This is Tuniu Mountain."

In the convoy, Wei Ziyi said mysteriously with a smile, "I’m quite familiar with this place."

"Um."

Su Mo nodded, observing the roadside with densely grown trees casting undistinguishable shadows.

The road was narrow, barely allowing two carriages to travel side by side.

"It’s a great place for banditry."

Su Mo remarked.

Wei Ziyi’s interest seemed dampened by his comment: "Won’t you ask me why I’m familiar with this place?"

Su Mo glanced at Wei Ziyi curiously, shaking his head with a smile:

"You obviously have something to say, would you keep quiet if I didn’t ask?"

"..."

Wei Ziyi took a deep breath in, slightly losing her enthusiasm.

However, it was curious Little Situ, led by the four girls, who approached and asked:

"Miss Wei, why are you so familiar with this place?"

"Ha ha ha."

This definitely scratched an itch for Wei Ziyi, who immediately explained:

"You are unaware, but there is a group of mountain bandits on Tuniu Mountain known for their ruthless actions.

"This territory is desolate and travels are sparse, hence these people barely scrape by on the mountain.

"Occasionally, they would plunder passing merchants ruthlessly, sparing no mercy.

"Thus, their notorious reputation spread.

"Although this place is still far from Lengyue Palace, it’s considered a lawless zone, and all under the heavens is overseen by the populace.

"My teacher, after learning about this, called me over, saying that my martial arts had sufficiently developed.

"It was time for me to go down the mountain and temper myself, and informed me about Tuniu Mountain.

"He mentioned the severe banditry problem on the mountain with their brutal methods; having trained all my skills, I couldn’t just ignore it.

"So, he assigned me to resolve this bandit issue."

At this point in her story, Wei Ziyi gently shook her head: "Back then, oh..."

She immediately began a vivid narration of her initial experiences in Jianghu.

Of course, in her tale, she was already adept at observing and listening, with a cold demeanor and decisive actions as a female hero of Jianghu.

Upon arriving at Tuniu Mountain, she did this and that, performing heroically.

Little Situ listened with great interest, while Su Mo was caught between laughing and crying.

Their conversation beside the ship’s rail that night had no impact on Wei Ziyi’s subsequent actions.

Rather, her true nature revealed itself more, often catching people off guard with sudden fierce gestures.

Su Mo then gestured for Fu Han Yuan to scout ahead.

Wei Ziyi said:

"I know this area; I will act as your squad leader this time.

"However, I’ve passed through here many times, each time checking the stronghold, and it’s been long abandoned.

"Tuniu Mountain is desolate and unpopulated; after I wiped out that gang of robbers, unless someone wanted to starve to death...

"Who would want to claim this mountain as their own?"

"We still need to be cautious."

Su Mo sighed: "After all, in this world, many have died from their own certainties."

"...That’s true."

Wei Ziyi nodded, "Then I’ll go."

As she spoke, she soared into the air.

Fu Han Yuan watched, stunned, thinking how everyone seemed eager to take on the role of the squad leader.

Su Mo, unable to help but smile and shake his head, said to Fu Han Yuan: "You follow her."

"Understood."

Fu Han Yuan immediately followed suit, and in no time, both were out of sight.

The convoy continued moving forward, but without Wei Ziyi’s tales of her Jianghu adventures, it somehow felt quieter.

After a short while, Fu Han Yuan and Wei Ziyi reappeared flying toward the group.

Wei Ziyi’s eyes wide in astonishment: "Lord Su, the Chief of the Escort, there’s a roadblock ahead."

This escort trip indeed broadened Wei Ziyi’s horizons.

Now she knew what a ’roadblock’ was, understood the terms ’duo’, ’qie’, ’yang’, ’mi’, knew ’sharp teeth’, and what it meant to ’move mountains’.

However, at this moment, she felt somewhat embarrassed.

Just before she had boastfully told Su Mo that this place was unattractive to anyone, but in a blink of an eye, roadblocks appeared.

A bizarre loss of face left her awkwardly embarrassed.

Su Mo nodded, asking Fu Han Yuan: "Did you find any traces?"

"People have fled; there might be others hiding in Half Mountain."

"Alright."

Su Mo addressed everyone: "Brighten the signs, prepare to formally meet these people."

If there wasn’t a roadblock, Su Mo could forcefully push through.

Now that the roadblock was indeed set, if he pretended not to see it and charged through... That would mean Su Mo was disrespecting the rules. fгee𝑤ebɳoveɭ.cøm

He then asked the two carriages to edge slightly closer, the Escort masters guarding the convoy with one palm ready on their weapons to draw at any moment.

Shortly, they indeed saw two branches lying across the road.

At the same time, hurried footsteps approached, clearly, someone was running in the wooded mountains.

It seemed a bit rushed, though?

Su Mo was about to shout out, but seeing this, he chose to close his mouth, waiting for them to come out directly.

However, the group didn’t appear yet, but their voice preempted their arrival:

"This mountain I opened, these trees I planted, to pass from here, leave behind the toll money!"

The person spoke with Inner Strength, voice booming like thunder, echoing faintly within the mountain woods.

Su Mo, however, felt the voice was somewhat familiar, yet couldn’t recall where he had heard it before.
