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

The reason why Five Poison Elder worked for Jingxin Hall was actually due to temptation.

Originally, he had no connection with Jingxin Hall.

He lived alone in seclusion, though he wasn’t entirely out of Jianghu for long, he seldom got involved in trouble on ordinary days.

He especially disliked Jianghu people.

Years ago, he deemed himself worthy of being one of the Three Wonders and Five Elders.

These Jianghu people flattered him on the surface, but secretly mocked and slandered him.

It truly broke the old man’s heart, leaving him with no fondness for Jianghu people.

Nor did he wish to engage with them more.

Jingxin Hall somehow managed to track him down.

They told him they could truly make him one of the Three Wonders and Five Elders.

However, this offer came with conditions.

That condition was to assist them in killing some people.

The most crucial task was to prevent Elder Yushu’s Hero Conference from proceeding.

Five Poison Elder was highly wary of Jianghu people.

But firstly, the promise came from Jingxin Hall.

Secondly, he felt a genuine pang of dissatisfaction regarding the title of Three Wonders and Five Elders, which was like a sore spot to him.

Eventually, he gritted his teeth and agreed.

The first task Jingxin Hall assigned him was to kill the Yunxia Blade Yun Mantang.

Unexpectedly, Yun Mantang was not acting alone; there were others with him.

In theory, even if Yun Mantang had companions, considering Five Poison Elder’s martial arts skills and his poisons, killing them wouldn’t be difficult.

However, it was his first time attempting an ambush-style assassination, so he was somewhat inexperienced.

Moreover, Yun Mantang and his group didn’t confront him directly; upon seeing him, they turned and fled.

In the commotion, they ended up bumping into Su Mo’s group.

That’s how the current situation arose.

"How preposterous! You’re attacking us based on such reasoning?"

Yun Mantang was furious after hearing Five Poison Elder’s explanation, veins bulging on his forehead.

At this point, the carriage had stopped on the side, and Little Situ was escorted off by Su Mo.

Everyone gathered at a clearing by the roadside to chat.

Five Poison Elder was respectful towards Little Situ, but he ignored everyone else.

Upon hearing the remark, he merely chuckled coldly:

"So what?

"You so-called Jianghu people, knights or demons, are all shameless scoundrels with double faces.

"Why shouldn’t I kill you to achieve my goals?"

"You! You’re simply unreasonable!"

Yun Mantang’s face turned dark, thinking about how his group almost died on Jianghu Road for this reason, it felt incredibly unjust.

Five Poison Elder raised his brow:

"You dare to be arrogant? Do you truly think that just because you blocked my strike, I have no means to deal with you?

"Besides, in front of the girl, I spare you a bit of dignity, so I won’t kill you with one strike.

"Otherwise, how could you dare to be insolent before me?"

"I..."

Yun Mantang wanted to retort but realized that although Five Poison Elder’s words were arrogant, there was some truth to them.

If it weren’t for Little Situ’s unexpected arrival making the old man bow, his group might have indeed been doomed.

He felt full of anger with no outlet.

Just then, Su Mo suddenly chuckled:

"I think you, old man, have been set up."

"Hmm? What do you know?"

Five Poison Elder glared at Su Mo: "You seem to be another liar. If the girl hadn’t forbidden it, I’d kill you first!!"

"You wouldn’t dare!"

Little Situ protested furiously.

Five Poison Elder immediately shrank back:

"Yes, Five Poison doesn’t dare."

"..."

Little Situ was at a loss for words.

She couldn’t help but glance up at Su Mo, seeing a smile at the corner of Su Mo’s mouth, he was unaffected by the situation, which allowed her to relax. However, when looking at Five Poison Elder, she couldn’t help but furrow her brows.

She didn’t know how to handle this.

He was respectful to her, but his rudeness to Su Mo was vexing.

His disrespect was even more distressing to her.

And at that moment, Su Mo spoke softly:

"Lies? Very well... old man, let me ask you.

"You said Jingxin Hall promised you a place among the Three Wonders and Five Elders, but did they tell you how they planned to achieve this?"

"...No."

Five Poison Elder lifted his head:

"However, since Jingxin Hall is one of the Eight Sects and Nine Peaks, what they say is naturally credible.

"As long as they are willing, accomplishing this goal should not be difficult."

"You’re wrong."

Su Mo shook his head: "They definitely won’t make this happen."

"Why would you say that?"

Five Poison Elder couldn’t help but look angrily at Su Mo.

Su Mo just smiled:

"Did Jingxin Hall ever tell you why they wanted to sabotage Elder Yushu’s Hero Conference?"

"...This point, they didn’t."

Five Poison Elder was honest at this moment:

"But such matters, I rarely inquire about.

"The people of Jianghu, buzzing like flies and dogs, who knows what they’re striving for, for what they’re busy?

"Instead of constantly focusing on these affairs, I spend more time nurturing my little treasures."

As he spoke, a completely crimson scorpion ran out of his sleeve.

Five Poison Elder cupped his fingers, and the scorpion ran up to his knuckles, boasting before everyone.

Su Mo and Little Situ were unfazed, one not paying attention, the other looking at the scorpion as if seeing a promising ingredient.

Yun Mantang and his group felt a wave of chill.

This scorpion was an oddity, named ’Crimson Sun Poisonous Scorpion,’ and contains lethal venom.
