Chapter 628: Chapter 277 Emperor Heart Technique
“Apology…”
Su Mo stretched out his palm, casually clutching at the firelight as if to warm his hand, and looked up at the High Priest, his eyes holding an inscrutable meaning.
Yang Xiaoyun and Hu Sandao also subconsciously looked towards the High Priest.
Just now, she said that even she did not anticipate the Chief Steward’s actions.
And all the twists and turns of tonight, in her mouth, became the unilateral actions of the Chief Steward.
However, this statement… is not easily believed.
The High Priest, who holds the power of life and death in Baihu City, how could her subordinates act without her anticipation or knowledge?
Now speaking of an apology, doesn’t it feel a little too late?
Although this thought crossed her mind, not a trace of it showed on her face.
All weighing of options was naturally up to Su Mo to decide.
Yang Xiaoyun, who was usually full of ideas, only acted on them when Su Mo was not around.
As long as Su Mo was present, she had no inclination to think further.
And Hu Sandao, even more so, simply followed orders.
The only exception was Zhen Xiaoxiao, who genuinely had nothing on her mind and had already begun to think about what to eat tomorrow…
She subconsciously glanced back towards the vague contours of Hu Jun Mountain, unconsciously swallowing her saliva.
Despite her age, she had never tasted that big tiger’s meat.
She wondered what it would taste like.
Unfortunately, the Master of the house wouldn’t allow it, nor would he allow talk of it…
“That’s right.”
The High Priest nodded lightly:
“It is indeed an apology!
“Su, the Chief of the Escort, is the foremost person in Donghuang, whose arrival at Baihu City was not met with the proper respect, which was indeed a breach of etiquette.
“The Chief Steward sent someone to invite him instead of welcoming him personally, which is an even greater disrespect.
“And to apply such a ludicrous method on the body of Su, the Chief of the Escort, is not merely disrespect, it is an unforgivable crime.”
Su Mo laughed: “High Priest, your words are too serious. Moreover, if we go by what you’re saying, then your sincerity in apologizing seems somewhat lacking.”
“Therefore, I have also prepared a generous gift for Su, the Chief of the Escort.”
“Oh?”
Su Mo glanced at the High Priest: “I wonder what this generous gift is?”
“Emperor—Heart—Technique!”
The High Priest enunciated each word distinctly.
As soon as these words were spoken, apart from Zhen Xiaoxiao, even Su Mo was momentarily taken aback.
The Emperor Heart Technique is the foundational martial art of Baihu City, a skill passed down by the Tiger Lord to the descendants of an old clan.
Filled with mysteries and intricacies, it is extraordinary.
Baihu City, located in the Southwest, has never had much of a reputation spread far and wide.
But a Chief Steward possessing martial arts not weaker than the Youquan Sect master is truly astonishing.
And all of this relies on the heritage taught by the descendants of an old clan, the Emperor Heart Technique.
Producing the Emperor Heart Technique as a form of apology would indeed show full sincerity.
However, after the initial surprise, Su Mo was somewhat puzzled:
“High Priest, are your words the truth?”
“Of course, they are the truth.”
The High Priest nodded slightly, and from within his robes, he took out a scroll, held it with one hand, and handed it to Su Mo:
“Please take a look, Su, the Chief of the Escort!”
Everyone’s gaze was instantly attracted by the scroll, and under the light of the fire, they could see that the scroll bore the large characters ’Emperor Heart Technique’.
Yang Xiaoyun subconsciously looked towards Su Mo, only to see him calmly take out and wear a pair of deer skin gloves from within his robes.
“…”
Yang Xiaoyun almost laughed out loud.
Such absolute martial arts secrets in front of him, yet Su Mo showed not the slightest impatience, but a leisurely composure instead.
Remembering to wear these deer skin gloves at this moment really was somewhat comical.
The High Priest’s eyelids twitched, anger flashing in his eyes.
Still, he forcibly endured.
Su Mo waived off the slight with an embarrassed smile:
“Jianghu is cunning, and the hearts of men are inscrutable. High Priest, please forgive me, forgive me.”
“…Dare not.”
The High Priest took a deep breath, suppressing the annoyance in his heart, and handed the Emperor Heart Technique to Su Mo.
Su Mo took it and then lifted his gaze to look at the High Priest again:
“Then shall I… take a look?”
“Please do!”
The High Priest nodded lightly.
Su Mo said no more, opened the Emperor Heart Technique, and began to read in silence.
At first, he appeared nonchalant, but after a moment, his expression became one of gravity, his posture upright as he studied it intently.
The Emperor Heart Technique encompasses everything, under the general principle there are the ’White Tiger Physique Technique’ and the ’White Tiger Heart Mind Technique’.
Recorded within the White Tiger Physique Technique are ’Amber Divine Palm’, ’Heavenly Tiger Guarding Body Skill’, and one hundred seventy-six forms of the ’Heavenly Roar Boxing’, each an exceptional divine skill.
And within the White Tiger Heart Mind Technique, aside from the detailed methods of inner strength cultivation from basic to advanced, there are also mysteries like ’Monarch’s Might’ and ’Tiger Roar’.
Su Mo read through the whole technique from beginning to end, and although he had a clear understanding of its content, he couldn’t help but read it once more.
Then he let out a long sigh, remarking:
“Indeed worthy of a heritage passed down by the descendants; the Emperor Heart Technique truly is no ordinary martial arts.
“A path divergent, inspiring admiration.”
Hearing his words, a smile finally appeared on the High Priest’s face:
“Su, the Chief of the Escort, is truly the foremost person in Donghuang.
“To recognize the merits of the Emperor Heart Technique… Truth be told, our clan has records that even the Da Xuan Dynasty, back in its day, coveted our clan’s Emperor Heart Technique and wanted to make it their own.”
Upon hearing this, Su Mo promptly said:
“That’s hardly surprising, the Emperor Heart Technique is exceptionally profound; how many martial artists are there who would not want to claim it for their own?
“However, the Da Xuan Dynasty of the past had swept across the world, trampled across Jianghu seven times, gathered exotic treasures and divine arts in Da Xuan’s Armory, and was an authority unmatched. But why did it not take away the Emperor Heart Technique?”
