Martial Arts Escort System: I Got A Maxed Level Divine Technique From The Beginning-Chapter 93 Golden Silk Map

With this person dead, silence once again fell within the stone chamber.

A few people huddled together, but they were stumped by the diagram.

This thing is a hot potato...

Da Xuan’s Armory, in particular, is an even more ominous artifact. Whoever gets involved with it never ends up with any good fortune.

How was the Yu Family annihilated?

Wasn’t it because of the trouble caused by the Mysterious Mechanism?

Who would have thought that inside Yuliu Manor, a seemingly ordinary scroll would hide such a huge trouble?

Liu Suifeng tried to use his Inner Strength to tear it and a sword to cut it, but it could not be damaged in the slightest.

Then he went over to the stone platform and tried to burn it with fire, which was also futile.

Immersing it in water was even more magical; it simply vanished without a trace.

"The item on this stone platform must be something the Youquan Sect brought to try to decipher the Yuqing Temple Mountain Map. It left no trace when baked with fire, disappeared with water immersion, and apparently couldn’t be revealed with various solutions either. The only way for it to appear is to destroy or tear up the scroll. Master Liu unintentionally got this object, but ended up stumbling upon this by mistake."

The Qilin Swordsman clicked his tongue in wonder and glanced at Liu Suifeng, "Master Liu, it seems you won’t be able to get rid of this hot potato."

Liu Suifeng looked displeased but glanced at Su Mo.

Without saying another word, Su Mo grabbed Yang Xiaoyun and walked out, "Master Liu, after all, I saved your life. You can’t frame someone else for this."

"..."

Liu Suifeng was not good with words to begin with, and having heard that, he was speechless. He sighed deeply and said gloomily, "I gave you a sword."

Su Mo was startled. Indeed, the reason he still had Dragon Roar in the Box on his back was that Liu Suifeng had given the sword to him.

Thinking of this, he swiftly took off the sword, "Should I return it to you?"

"...Never mind."

Liu Suifeng said helplessly, "I owe you a great favor, and a sword cannot repay it."

Su Mo then winked at Liu Suifeng, "There’s someone here who doesn’t seem to mind much, though."

The Qilin Swordsman snorted, "Hmm?"

Su Mo choked on the retort, knowing some affairs of the Qilin Swordsman.

Although it was just fragmented information, he was aware that if they failed, the object would likely fall into the hands of an organization lurking in the shadows.

With that thought, Su Mo curled his lip:

"So, you came here for the Mysterious Mechanism?"

"...Who came looking for the Mysterious Mechanism?"

With the corner of his mouth twitching, the Qilin Swordsman glanced at Liu Suifeng and spoke vaguely, "My ancestors left records about the Yuqing Temple Mountain Map. Coincidentally, due to some matters, I found out that Youquan Sect’s plot against Yuliu Manor seems to be related to this map. If the Yuqing Temple Mountain Map falls into the hands of Youquan Sect, trouble is bound to ensue.

"Besides, this Yuqing Temple Mountain Map might be of some use in my hands.

"That’s why I made this trip... You know how hard it is for me to spare any time for this right now."

"What do I know, I..."

Su Mo was about to say he didn’t know anything about his [the Qilin Swordsman’s] Mystical affairs.

But then he thought for a moment and suddenly caught on, "Are you still entangled?"

"...Maggot attached to the bones."

The Qilin Swordsman’s mouth twitched again, "I’ve been entangled with him for over a month now."

"..."

Su Mo suddenly felt a bit sorry for the Qilin Swordsman, but Old Man Shihen was persistent too, clinging on and not letting go – was he planning a lifelong entanglement?

Right now, Su Mo actually felt rather relaxed.

The Youquan Sect’s plans had all gone down the drain. Although a new problem had arisen, it wasn’t of much concern to him.

The Yuqing Temple Mountain Map was handed down from Master Liu’s ancestors, even if it’s a headache, it’s his headache. Withdrawing at this point, I consider my duty fulfilled.

Now my mind has the leisure to wander aimlessly.

I was still pondering when I heard the Qilin Swordsman say, "As for the Mysterious Mechanism, it really is quite unexpected. It reminds me of something else..."

As for what that something is, he did not clarify, simply letting out a sly smile:

"Xuanji Valley, Xuanji Valley, the very heart of the Youquan Sect has been laid bare from the start. I didn’t expect they would actually find one.

"The Yuqing Temple Mountain Map is probably not a big deal, but actually having a Mysterious Mechanism in hand is indeed a hot potato."

As he said this, his gaze was faintly directed at Su Mo.

"..."

Su Mo cracked a smile, somewhat ferocious: "If it really comes to it, let’s just draw swords!"

"Cough, cough, cough..."

The Qilin Swordsman was speechless for a while: "So many people covet it, yet you avoid it as if it were the plague."

"You just said it was smart."

"..."

The Qilin Swordsman wished he could slap himself; always speaking without thinking, and now he was at a loss for words.

He looked at Master Liu, and Master Liu looked back at him. In their mutual glances, they both helplessly shook their heads.

Suddenly, the Qilin Swordsman turned around to leave: "The fact that this thing is in my possession, I trust none of you would speak of it?"

"We will certainly keep our mouths sealed."

Su Mo was the first to express his stance, and Yang Xiaoyun also understood why Su Mo didn’t want the hot potato, nodding repeatedly in agreement.

As for Master Liu, he neither nodded nor shook his head, contemplating the Golden Silk Map in his hand, everything unspoken.

The Qilin Swordsman then laughed and said: "Then, I take my leave."

His voice had barely faded when he had already gone far away.

Master Liu glanced at Su Mo: "Is that your friend?"

Su Mo shook his head: "Not really acquainted."

Even if it came to disclosing the myriad troubles of the Yu Family, Su Mo would definitely not be the one.

"Do we need to silence him?"

"...There’s really no need."

"Fine, I trust you."

Master Liu did not press further: "Let’s go, the matters outside should come to an end."

Within Xuanji Valley, an intense battle has raged until now; it is indeed time to dot the final period.

However, just before leaving, Su Mo suddenly took out a Fire Stick, rummaged through the Xuehai Leader’s body for a moment, but ended up empty-handed.

Muttering ’truly broke’, he proceeded to set the corpse on fire.

Although the Qilin Swordsman said that he had beaten this man to a pulp, Su Mo also knew he left him in pieces.

But, the martial arts skills of the Youquan Sect are intrinsically elusive and hard to defend against, and the Xuehai Repairing the Heaven manual is even more extraordinarily cunning.

The Yin Mountain Ghost Lord once faked his own death to escape; what if after we leave, the Xuehai Leader performs some sort of Xuehai Rebirth Technique, would he then not die?

Might as well burn it all and be done with it.

Master Liu did not object, standing by and watching the spectacle.

Not until the Xuehai Leader was reduced to ashes did the three leave Xuanji Cave.

Upon setting foot in Xuanji Valley again, the battle around had already ended.

The one who approached first was Wei Ziyi, who tossed two items to Su Mo.

Su Mo caught them and was perplexed: "I recognize the Phoenix Order, but what is the meaning of this sword?"
