Chapter 777: Chapter 326 Imperial Dao_3
“With the four great masters of Da Xuan as its backbone, adhering to one as the Taoist Master.
“Commissioned by Emperor Xuan, supervising all matters within Martial Arts.
“This is the initial Imperial Dao…”
Jun Luo did not hesitate and spoke straight away about everything he knew.
However, after his words reached the ears of Su Mo and Yang Yizhi, there were different reactions.
Yang Yizhi’s brow furrowed tightly; he did not expect the bygone Da Xuan Dynasty to have such a fallback as the Imperial Dao.
The Da Xuan Dynasty was annihilated overnight.
But how could such a vast dynasty leave no trace at all?
If the Imperial Dao truly remained loyal to the Da Xuan Dynasty, it should naturally have raised the banner in Jianghu to support the Imperial Family’s bloodline and achieve the true orthodoxy of Da Xuan.
Then why has there been no word of the Imperial Dao for all these years?
As for Su Mo… on hearing about the four great masters of Da Xuan, he naturally thought of the Ziyang Sect.
Outside Baihu City, the High Priest caught up to apologize and personally presented the Emperor Heart Technique.
Subsequently, he described how the Da Xuan Dynasty sent the four great masters to Baihu City to compete in several matches against the masters of Baihu City to decide its allegiance.
And one of these four, was suspected to be the founding ancestor of the Ziyang Sect.
If this matter is true, and this person also had a core role in the Imperial Dao,
Then… what stance does the Ziyang Sect take in all this?
The considerations that this triggered were becoming ever more numerous.
Boldly assuming, if the Ziyang Sect is indeed part of the Imperial Dao,
Then is the matter of Su Chengyu finding the Secret Message Box containing the Xuantian Treasure Seal, real or false?
Even if it is true, as a huge organization capable of competing with the Jinglong Association,
Would they not know what exactly was contained in the Secret Message Box?
Why would they allow it to remain in the custody of the Su family from generation to generation?
Is there a deeper meaning in this…
Su Mo’s heart was filled with endless contemplations.
The Ziyang Sect, one of the Dongcheng Seven Sects, with a vast gate and thousands of disciples,
Yet willing to let a disciple start an escort agency under the name ‘Ziyang.’
Isn’t this a bit odd?
What ability does the Su family possess that makes the entire Ziyang Sect favor them so heavily?
Why did Su Tianyang leave such obscure clues hidden under the bookshelf in the Ziyang Sect study room?
The ninth day of the ninth lunar month… Chi Mei Wang Liang!
Do these eight characters really refer to Chimei Forest Wangliang Courtyard?
Chi Mei Wang Liang, these four characters, can be tentatively understood, but what about the ninth day of the ninth lunar month?
Thinking this far, anxiety surged in Su Mo’s heart.
When he first met Li Zhengyuan, that Grandmaster looked at him with a gaze of reluctance before leaving.
His earnest admonishments still echoed in his ears.
Su Mo really didn’t want to believe that the Ziyang Sect had another stance.
That the old man’s words to him would truly be mixed with falsehoods.
However, the clues now gathered inexplicably, piece by piece, pointed towards the Ziyang Sect.
Such that Su Mo couldn’t help but harbor suspicions about it.
Yet this suspicion was excellently concealed by him.
After all, many of the current speculations were merely inferred from elusive traces.
He looked up at Jun Luo:
“You say, this is the initial Imperial Dao?
“Then what about the current Imperial Dao?”
“…I, I do not know.”
Jun Luo immediately replied:
“I only know that, back then, the Jinglong Association took something very important from the Imperial City and was then targeted by the people of the Imperial Dao.
“The two factions entangled for a long period, and our clan took the opportunity to slip away from the scene.
“Afterwards, both the Jinglong Association and the Imperial Dao disappeared.
“And our ancestors managed to hide the three Mysterious Mechanisms in three different places.
“And they left behind nine items.
“Taking three out of nine, guarded within the clan.
“The other six, scattered amongst Jianghu.
“After many years… people from the Imperial Dao finally came looking.
“They told our ancestors… said the Jinglong Association hid very deep, but did not give up on the Mysterious Mechanism.
“Thus, we absolutely cannot reveal any traces.
“They also said… within the Imperial Dao, divergent views arose due to differing philosophies.
“There is a looming danger of its collapse…
“They advised our ancestors, that henceforth they should not trust anyone claiming to be from the Imperial Dao.
“To closely guard the Mysterious Mechanism, waiting… waiting for the destined day…
“It’s for this… this so-called destiny…
“Our clan generation after generation, has lived like turtles.
“Hiding in a shell, never seeing the light of day.
“Even though skillful, unable to relieve the common people’s burdens, despite learning what amazing methods, what use are they?”
The last line was completely ignored by Su Mo and others.
Only the Qilin Swordsman glanced at him and dubbed him “Shameless.”
After Su Mo pondered for a while, he then asked:
“After your escape back then, why did you come to Wusheng Hall?”
“… Hey, haha.”
Upon hearing this, Jun Luo laughed heartily: “Su Mo… Su, the Chief of the Escort, are you truly asking this because you want to know the truth?
“You… you actually want to know about the Mysterious Mechanism, right?
“The very moment you saw the Mysterious Mechanism, you recognized it; it’s clear that you, the greatest in Donghuang, had already set your mind on obtaining it…
“Although I don’t know who exactly you are or why you know so much,
“But… if you want to know, I can certainly tell you.
“After my plan succeeded, the first thing I did was find the other two pieces that matched the one in my possession.
“I gathered one of the Mysterious Mechanisms.
“The reason I subsequently came to Wusheng Hall stemmed from the fact that amongst the three items related to the Mysterious Mechanism,
“The whereabouts of the Xin Luo Umbrella is a closely-guarded secret passed down through generations by the Great Hall Master of Wusheng Hall.
“Seven Feet Mysterious Light Sword, Xin Luo Umbrella, Heaven Pointing Wheel.
“On the Xin Luo Umbrella is inscribed the hiding place of the Mysterious Mechanism… Lord Su, not to mention Wan Yutang, how do you plan to deal with him?
“Hmm?
“Hahaha!!!”
