The First Marquis of Daxuan

"Otomo, take the Thunder Sword and go wash away the shame that Su Mu brought to you."

Emperor Xuan spoke with a serious expression.

He placed the thunder in He Jin's hand.

Next to him, Tao Wansan stood there respectfully with his head lowered, as if it had nothing to do with him.

He Jin took the Thunder Sword with its scabbard from Emperor Xuan, a look of gratitude on his face.

As a powerful warrior in the fusion realm, being seriously injured by a Nascent Soul warrior in public was definitely one of the greatest shames in He Jin's life.

If he had the chance, he would definitely want to kill Su Mu.

“Don’t worry, Your Majesty, I will definitely chop off Su Mu’s head with thunder!”

He Jin said through gritted teeth.

It's this sword.

If it weren't for this sword, with Su Mu's mediocre kung fu, he wouldn't be able to hurt me even if I stood still!
Now, with the Thunder in his hand, he wanted to see what Su Mu could do!
"Go ahead. I'll wait for your good news."

Emperor Xuan said slowly.

"Your Majesty, do you need me to go too? Chen Beixuan and his men have escaped, and I'm afraid they will meet up with Su Mu."

A voice came from the side, and it was another powerful person in the fusion realm.

"No need. Chen Beixuan and the others are already useless. They won't live long even if they escape."

Emperor Xuan said calmly, "Hong Yutian and He Jin are enough.

You have more important things to do.

The seventy-two divine weapons must be found as soon as possible.

Damn Su Mu for making the map public. If we delay any further, I'm worried that something bad will happen."

…………

Hulao Pass.

An elite army marched towards the wilderness.

Su Mu stopped not far outside the city.

Dongfang Liuyun, Mo Xuesong, Shi Binbin, Luo Anning, Xiang Xiaoyuan and others had received the news and rushed over.

The three thousand people they brought from Huju Pass were counting food and fodder.

Tao Wansan didn't play any tricks on the amount of food and fodder.

Such a large amount of food and fodder, although part of it was replaced by rare treasures, in order to make up the share, he also collected a lot from Emperor Xuan's private treasury.

In other words, a large part of the things here actually belong to Emperor Xuan.

Emperor Xuan and Tao Wansan were certain that Su Muyun could not take these things away.

In other words, even if Su Muyun took them away, they could easily get these things back after Su Mu died.

These things are simply made for the world to see.

"Sir Su, if you can't take so much food with you, you can temporarily leave it at Hulao Pass. If the army needs it, as long as you send a message, Hulao Pass will send people to escort the food."

A general said to Su Mu.

He was the commander of Hulao Pass.

"Don't worry, General Liu."

Su Mu smiled faintly and said.

A hint of disdain flashed in the depths of General Liu's eyes.

"With so much food and fodder, Lord Su, you have limited manpower..."

General Liu hadn't finished speaking when his eyes suddenly widened.

His face was full of disbelief.

Su Mu just raised his hand.

A swish sound.

A large amount of food and supplies disappeared.

Su Mu walked slowly forward, and wherever he passed, food and fodder disappeared.

General Liu was stunned by this magical scene.

Dongfang Liuyun and others showed mocking expressions on their faces.

Do you think they can't take away these food supplies?
Do you want to know about the storage Xuanbing?
Luo Anning and Xiang Xiaoyuan walked forward and began to collect food and fodder.

They also had rings on both of their fingers.

That was the engagement gift Su Mu gave them.

It is also a priceless storage ring.

As the carts of food and fodder disappeared, General Liu couldn't help swallowing.

He now began to worry about how to report to His Majesty.

Most of the food and fodder was collected in one go.

The storage ring is already full.

Looking at the remaining food and grass, Su Mu felt that Emperor Xuan could not get it too cheap.

"Shi Binbin, let the brothers at Huju Pass divide it up. Take as much as you can. What you can't take will be exchanged for silver."

Su Mu instructed Shi Binbin.

Shi Binbin took the order and went, his face full of excitement.

Leaving Shi Binbin to handle the matter, Su Mu led his men to chase after the 10,000 elite soldiers.

A few miles away from Hulao Pass.

Dongfang Liuyun looked back in the direction of Hulao Pass, then came to Su Mu and said in a low voice, "We found Master Chen Beixuan, Marquis Jin and Marquis Mingyi in Emperor Xuan's palace. Commander Li led them out of the pass in advance, and they should be waiting for us in front now."

"Are they really in Emperor Xuan's hands?"

Su Mu's expression became serious. Dongfang Liuyun and Shi Binbin had already passed the message to him before, but there was no time to explain in detail. It was not until now that Su Mu had the opportunity to ask for details.

"How are they doing?"

"not good."

Eastern Flowing Clouds.

Su Mu's heart sank.

With the strength of Chen Beixuan, Marquis Jin and Marquis Mingyi, it is impossible for them to be detained by Emperor Xuan under normal circumstances, unless they are seriously injured and unable to resist.

Just think about it and you will know that Emperor Xuan detained them not to let them recuperate in peace.

In fact, the fact that they were still alive was beyond Su Mu's expectation.

"Master Chen was already seriously injured in his fight with the Demon Lord, and Emperor Xuan took away the Purple Gold Beam that spanned the sea, and tortured him severely."

Dongfang Liuyun whispered, "When we found him, he was almost on his last breath."

Dongfang Liuyun's face showed a mixture of regret and anger.

Such a powerful person above the fusion realm was tortured into this state.

Chen Beixuan had just defeated a powerful enemy for Daxuan.

What Emperor Xuan did was more than just repaying kindness with enmity.

It's simply outrageous.

"The situation of Marquis Jin and Marquis Mingyi is not good either."

Dongfang Liuyun continued, "They were seriously injured and poisoned, and are now disabled."

These people who protected Daxuan from wind and rain were treated like this by Emperor Xuan. Dongfang Liuyun felt chilled to the bone.

He still couldn't figure out why Emperor Xuan did this.

Not to mention Chen Beixuan, he is the strongest person in Daxuan, and now he is the only one in Daxuan who can stop the Demon Lord of Demon Court.

Marquis Jin and Marquis Mingyi are the pillars of Daxuan.

The two of them fought for Daxuan their entire lives and did their best.

No matter how you look at it, their death will do more harm than good to Daxuan.

Emperor Xuan cut off his own arm. Could it be that he was tired of living?
"Can it still be saved?"

Su Mu was in a heavy mood. He was silent for a moment and spoke slowly.

"do not know."

Dongfang Liuyun shook his head solemnly, "Commander Li is trying to find a solution. If he can't do it, you——"

Dongfang Liuyun looked at Su Mu.

In his heart, Su Mu is almost omnipotent.

"I don't know medicine." Su Mu shook his head.

Chen Beixuan, Jin Hou and Mingyi Hou are not ordinary people. Ordinary medical skills may be helpless in their situations.

Su Mu is indeed not good at this.

"Perhaps, we can ask Shennong Baicao Sect for help."

Su Mu pondered.

If Shennong Baicao Sect has no connection with Emperor Xuan.

After what happened at the Divine Weapon Pavilion, Su Mu had no confidence at all that Shennong Baicao Sect had no relationship with Emperor Xuan.

In the past, he always thought that the Divine Weapon Pavilion and the imperial court were at odds with each other, but it turned out that the Pavilion Master of the Divine Weapon Pavilion, Wang Huomin, was actually Emperor Xuan's man.

Who can guarantee that the situation is not the same for Shennong Baicao Sect?

Emperor Xuan is a very secretive person. After meeting him this time, Su Mu feels that he is more and more unfathomable. No one knows how many cards Emperor Xuan has in his hands.

But apart from Shennong Baicao Sect, Su Mu couldn't think of anyone else who could save Chen Beixuan, Jin Hou and Mingyi Hou.

That's when.

suddenly.

A person appeared on the road ahead, blocking the group's way.

Su Mu went on this expedition with 10,000 elite soldiers leading the way, and they were now several miles ahead of them.

Su Mu himself walked behind with Dongfang Liuyun and others.

Due to military orders, most of the 3,000 troops at Huju Pass were unable to go on the expedition.

There are only dozens of people following Su Mu now.

However, among these dozens of people there are Zhuge Jingang who is in the Nascent Soul stage, the world's geniuses Dongfang Liuyun, Mo Xuesong, Lu Pengju, and Yang Zheng, a true disciple of the Sword Sect, all of whom are quite powerful.

Faced with people blocking the road, everyone was not nervous at all, but instead showed a strong desire to fight.

"The Master of the Divine Weapon Pavilion, Wang Huomin."

Su Mu rode his horse forward and stopped two meters away from the person who was blocking his way. Looking at the man, he spoke slowly.

"You blocked my way. What do you want to teach me?"

Pfft!
Wang Huomin didn't say anything, but knelt on one knee with a plop.

This scene scared Su Mu.

Dongfang Liuyun and the others also showed surprise on their faces.

They were all ready to fight, and you do this?
Su Mu frowned slightly, not understanding what Wang Huomin meant.

As the leader of the Divine Weapon Pavilion, Wang Huomin was definitely one of the people with the highest status in Daxuan.

Moreover, he is a top-notch weaponsmith, and his martial arts skills are unfathomable. Even if he is not at the fusion realm, he is not far from it.

When it comes to such a big shot, Su Mu is far inferior to him.

He would not kneel when he saw Emperor Xuan, but now he knelt in front of Su Mu.

"I'm here to become your disciple."

Wang Huomin said in a deep voice, "I want to become your disciple and learn the art of weapon forging from you."

Everyone looked at each other.

Wang Huomin, the leader of the Divine Weapon Pavilion, wants to take Su Mu as his master?
Are you sure this isn't a joke?

You are the master of the Divine Weapon Pavilion.

The Divine Weapon Pavilion is a holy place in the eyes of weapon smiths all over the world.

Even Madam Yuan had to hide her identity and enter the Divine Weapon Pavilion to learn the art of forging weapons.

The leader of the Divine Weapon Pavilion is definitely one of the strongest weaponsmiths in the world, even if he is not the strongest weaponsmith in the world.

"You want to take me as your teacher?"

Su Mu said in surprise.

In fact, the Tiangong weapon refining method he practiced came from the Divine Weapon Pavilion, but no one in the Divine Weapon Pavilion had been able to comprehend it.

When it comes to weapon forging, Su Mu has mastered the Tiangong Weapon Refining Technique to a high level, making him qualified to be Wang Huomin's master.

After all, no matter how good Wang Huomin's weapon-forging skills were, they had not reached the level of forging divine weapons.

"Why?"

Su Mu said slowly, "Why should I accept you as my apprentice?"

Wang Huomin was silent for a moment.

His relationship with Su Mu was not friendly, and he was even suspected of taking advantage of Su Mu's misfortune at Hulao Pass.

At that time, he and Emperor Xuan forced Su Mu to teach him how to forge magic weapons.

If he were Su Mu, he would not accept himself as his apprentice.

Although Su Mu is generous, he may not necessarily forgive a former enemy.

"Wang Huomin, Su Mu has already made the method of forging magic weapons public at Hulao Pass. You have already learned what you should learn. Now you are running to become his disciple. I think you are here to be a spy."

Dongfang Liuyun said with a sneer.

"I'm not."

Wang Huomin said seriously, "Su Mu did indeed make the supreme secret of weapon forging public when he preached at Hulao Pass.

But I know that those things are just a drop in the bucket compared to Su Mu's attainments in weapon forging.

I came here to become your disciple, just to learn the supreme way of forging weapons."

"As for why you asked me, I can tell you."

Wang Huomin paused for a moment, then continued slowly.

"I am the leader of the Divine Weapon Pavilion. If you accept me as your disciple, the entire Divine Weapon Pavilion will be at your disposal.

The Divine Weapon Pavilion has a reserve of tens of thousands of ordinary weapons, hundreds of mysterious weapons, and a large number of weapon-making materials.

If you become my master, these things will be at your disposal."

"In addition, I have six thousand disciples in the Divine Weapon Pavilion, and they will all help you."

"My talent for forging weapons may not be the best in the world, but it is definitely not bad. I can learn your weapon-forging technique and carry it forward."

"you are right."

Su Mu smiled faintly and said, "But you are Xuandi's man, don't tell me that you don't know the relationship between me and Xuandi."

"I know."

Wang Huomin said, “Whether you believe it or not, Emperor Xuan and I are just partners.

After I become your disciple, I will no longer have anything to do with him.

If you want to rebel, I will join you in the rebellion.”

Su Mu glanced at Dongfang Liuyun.

Dongfang Liuyun shook his head, indicating that he couldn't tell whether what Wang Huomin said was true or false.

Su Mu looked at Wang Huomin. Wang Huomin had a sincere look on his face and did not dodge at all.

It seems that he really came here to become a disciple.

Su Mu was giving a lecture at Hulao Pass, seemingly making the method of forging magic weapons public. But in fact, Wang Huomin was not wrong. That was just a tiny fraction of Su Mu's weapon-forging skills.

Moreover, the art of weapon making is not something that can be learned just by listening. The Tiangong Weapon Refining Method has been in the Divine Weapon Pavilion for so many years, and countless weapon making geniuses have tried to comprehend it, but in the end, no one has ever been able to fully comprehend it.

There are so many weaponsmiths in the world who have always wanted to forge a magic weapon, but no one has been able to do it for all these years. Is it because they lack the weaponsmithing heritage?

The art of weapon forging is just like martial arts. Having the skills does not necessarily mean you can master it.

Moreover, Wang Huomin knew very well that the limit of the Tiangong Weapon Refining Method was not the magic weapon. If he wanted to pursue the great path of weapon forging, he could only learn from Su Mu.

He can't figure it out on his own.

"The Emperor Xuan asked you to go to the Demon Court because he wanted to kill you."

Seeing that Su Mu didn't say anything, Wang Huomin continued, "Hong Yutian has been following you. Once you go deep into the wilderness, he and his 10,000 elite soldiers will kill you in the wilderness and then say that you died in the hands of the demon court.

I can help you kill Hong Yutian.

As long as I kill Hong Yutian, I will completely break with Emperor Xuan, so you should be able to trust me now."

Wang Huomin had a determined expression on his face.

"Can you kill Hong Yutian?"

Su Mu was a little surprised.

Hong Yutian is a strong man in the fusion realm. Although Su Mu does not know the specific realm of Wang Huomin, it is very likely that he is not at the fusion realm.

Even if he was at the fusion realm, it would not be easy to kill Hong Yutian.

How could a strong person in the fusion realm be killed so easily?
What's more, Hong Yutian has 10,000 elite soldiers to support him. (End of this chapter)
