The First Marquis of Daxuan

Chapter 596 You Don't Deserve It (Two chapters combined, 8,000 words, please subscribe)
"I never imagined that Emperor Xuan, Yang Xiuhu, would have such a character by his side."

Beside the Lu family patriarch, a tomb keeper slowly spoke up, "Isn't that Gou Ye one of his men?"
Just because I asked him for a pound of Chaos Crimson Gold, he actually wanted to kill me. His ruthlessness in betraying me is beyond my comprehension.

The other tomb keepers also showed expressions of sympathy.

“That Zheng Deshan is indeed very terrifying.”

"The old patriarch of the Lu family said with lingering fear."

He knew how terrifying Emperor Xuan, Yang Xiuhu, was. Yang Xiuhu was just a guard in the Lu family back then, but he was able to rise all the way to become the Lord of the Great Xuan, which was enough to show how deep his scheming was.

But Zheng Deshan was merely an inspector of the Great Xuan Surveillance Bureau, yet he was so terrifying, which was beyond the expectations of the Lu family patriarch.

The Lu family patriarch still remembers the look Zheng Deshan gave him back then.

At that moment, the Lu family patriarch truly felt the danger to his life, the oppressive feeling he had never experienced even when facing Emperor Xuan, Yang Xiuhu.

He was certain that Zheng Deshan's strength was definitely no less than that of Emperor Xuan, Yang Xiuhu, and might even be greater than that of Emperor Xuan, Yang Xiuhu.

Who would have thought that such an ordinary Great Xuan realm would produce so many amazingly powerful individuals?

Su Mu came from Da Xuan, and now there's another one, Zheng Deshan.

Moreover, this Zheng Deshan gives the impression of being even more terrifying than Su Mu.

Although Su Mu is ruthless, he still has a bottom line in many of his actions.

But this Zheng Deshan—

The Lu family patriarch looked down at the ingenious plan in the brocade pouch.

The instructions in the secret plan were to wait until Gou Ye destroyed the teleportation array, then kill Gou Ye, use Gou Ye's head as a pledge of allegiance, pretend to join Su Mu, and then lie in wait by Su Mu's side.

The secret plan also mentions that the Great Xuan Surveillance Bureau will secretly cooperate with their tomb guardians, deliberately making the tomb guardians do things for the Taiping Bureau in order to gain their trust.

One scheme, two-step plan.

First, they eliminated Gou Ye, and then they secretly plotted against the Taiping Division.

Zheng Deshan was ruthless and cunning to such an extent.

All the tomb keepers felt a chill run down their spines.

Gou Ye was working for Zheng Deshan.

Although the tomb keepers also disliked Gou Ye, they wouldn't betray their own people.

"Gentlemen, should we follow the brilliant plan?"

"It was a gravedigger who said this with a serious expression."

“Our relationship with Da Xuan is merely one of cooperation. We are not subordinates of Emperor Yang Xiuhu and Zheng Deshan, and we do not need to obey their orders.”

"If that's the case, we can't really be considered allies with Gou Ye, so there's no need for us to feel guilty about killing him."

The tomb keepers were divided in their opinions, with some agreeing to kill Gou Ye and others disagreeing, making it difficult to reach a consensus.

"Everyone, have you ever considered that even if we follow the brilliant plan, Su Mu might not really believe us?"

The Lu family patriarch suddenly spoke.

"Personally, I think Zheng Deshan underestimated Su Mu."

The Lu family patriarch had a serious expression, and his eyes were full of solemnity.

He had dealt with Su Mu before.

In fact, the two remaining descendants of the Lu family died because of Su Mu, and he himself almost died at Su Mu's hands.

He knew perfectly well how terrifying Su Mu was.

If he had a choice, he would rather fight Emperor Xuan, Yang Xiuhu, than fight Su Mu again.

Su Mu may look young, but he is actually very cunning, no less so than Emperor Xuan, Yang Xiuhu, and Zheng Deshan.

Even if the tomb keepers came to pledge their loyalty, Su Mu might not trust them, even if they had Gou Ye's head as a pledge of allegiance.

Getting close to Su Mu isn't that easy.

Back then, his great-granddaughter Lu Qian was only able to get close to Su Mu because of Li Quan, the Dragon King of the South China Sea. Even so, Su Mu could not say that he trusted her.

If Lu Qian is like this, then the tomb keeper must be even more so.

The Lu family patriarch felt that if they dared to come to his door, Su Mu might actually wipe them all out.

The words of the Lu family patriarch caused the expressions of all the tomb keepers to darken, and they all fell into deep thought.

In fact, all the tomb keepers were familiar with Su Mu, and they had dealt with him more than once or twice.

On both occasions, they were outmaneuvered by Su Mu and trapped in either the immortal soldiers or the formations, unable to escape.

Especially that last time, Su Mu was simply toying with them.

Even when they were all together, they were like children facing an adult when facing Su Mu, and were easily trapped in his formation.

How easy is it to gain the trust of someone like that?
"We still need to rely on Da Xuan, so we can't turn against Da Xuan."

After a long silence, one of the gravediggers slowly said, "But we're not confident about Su Mu's situation..."

The faces of all the tomb keepers were extremely grim.

Back when they were in the Taixu Sacred Realm, they were all powerful figures in their own right. Who would have thought that they would find themselves in such a dilemma in this outer realm?

Xuan Emperor Yang Xiuhu and Su Mu are both exceptional talents, even in the Taixu Sacred Realm, they are rare geniuses, and now they have appeared in the outer realm at the same time!
Oh, and we also have to count Zheng Deshan!

All the tomb keepers felt a sense of "why did Heaven create both Zhou Yu and Zhuge Liang?"

If there are tomb guardians like them, why are there also Xuan Emperor Yang Xiuhu and Su Mu?

"I have an idea."

Another tomb keeper suddenly spoke up, "Instead of being led by the nose, let's find another way."

All eyes fell on the gravedigger.

Feeling the gazes of the crowd, the tomb keeper revealed a smug look on his face.

"We have obtained an important piece of information: someone is trying to sabotage Su Mu's teleportation array. We can definitely go and talk to Su Mu."

If Su Mu doesn't want his teleportation array to be destroyed, then he has to agree to our conditions.

If Su Mu agrees to our conditions, we can use him to kill Gou Ye, thus giving Zheng Deshan an explanation.

On the other hand, our cooperation with Su Mu can also mislead Zheng Deshan.

"Playing both sides well?"

All the tomb keepers wore thoughtful expressions.

According to the tomb keeper, they told Su Mu the truth directly, then negotiated with him to get his cooperation in deceiving Zheng Deshan.

In this way, Zheng Deshan would think they were acting according to the opportunity, while they had already reached the second level.

Instead of directly entering the fray, they played both sides, watching Da Xuan and Su Mu fight to the death while they managed to seize some benefits.

Once Da Xuan and Su Mu are both severely injured, they can then choose what to do next.

"This method is feasible."

After a moment's thought, the Lu family patriarch and the others nodded in agreement.

"Therefore, we will leave some people behind to mislead Gou Ye, and send someone to negotiate with Su Mu."

All the tomb keepers' eyes fell on the one who made the suggestion.

The tomb keeper smiled slightly and said confidently, "I will not shirk my duty."

…………

"The visitor identified himself as Luo Dongren, one of the seventy-two tomb keepers."

Dongfang Liuyun followed Su Mu and said in a low voice, "He said he wants to make a deal with us, but he wants to talk to you in person, which is why I was in a hurry to tell you to come back."

He said his deal was a matter of life and death for the three prefectures of Lingnan.

"You actually believe such alarmist claims?"

Su Mudao.

Dongfang Liuyun used the Taiping Division's communication channels and finally managed to find Su Mu in the mountains.

Su Mu rushed back immediately after receiving the news.

As a result, I heard this news from Dongfang Liuyun.

After the tomb keeper escaped his formation, he actually dared to come back and negotiate with him openly. He's got some nerve.

However, Su Mu did not care about matters concerning the life and death of the three prefectures in Lingnan.

Today, he has established himself firmly in the outer realms.

Unless the Outer Realm and the Taixu Sacred Realm reunite and the powerful armies of the Cangqiong Sect press in, the three states of Lingnan will definitely not suffer any annihilation.

At least, the Great Xuan is not capable of bringing annihilation to the three states of Lingnan.

In the current state of affairs, Su Mu is powerless against Emperor Xuan, Yang Xiuhu, and Emperor Xuan is equally powerless against him.

The three states of Daxuan and Lingnan are in a special balance.

"I wasn't intimidated by him."

Dongfang Liuyun smiled wryly, "But, isn't the tomb keeper trapped by you?"
He has suddenly escaped, and last time you mentioned that there are some powerful figures with spies in this outer realm. I was worried that it might involve those people, so—”

"Alright, I'm going to meet Luo Dongren."

Su Mu waved his hand and said that he knew Dongfang Liuyun was always cautious in his actions.

That's his strength.

However, Dongfang Liuyun lacks some sharpness. Although he has barely reached the Void Returning Realm, he will likely need to endure some hardships if he wants to advance further in the future.

Su Mu pondered to himself whether he should send Dongfang Liuyun out to be trained.

Before long, he had arrived in front of Luo Dongren.

Luo Dongren looks to be in his forties or fifties, and is very elegant.

The first thing Su Mu noticed about him was his completely different demeanor compared to before.

The original tomb keeper was emaciated and heartbroken, no different from a living dead.

But Luo Dongren, the man in front of him, was no different from an ordinary person.

Like the Lu family patriarch, he regained his human emotions and memories; he was no longer a tomb keeper!

Su Mu's brows furrowed almost imperceptibly.

If they remain tomb guardians, their hearts will only be filled with the divine weapon of destiny. But if they are no longer tomb guardians, they will become those unruly Void Return Realm experts they once were.

The tomb keeper only has his mission in mind, and can be deceived by any means.

But the gravedigger who regains his memories and emotions becomes cunning and treacherous.

No wonder he came knocking on my door.

Su Mu thought to himself, but his face remained expressionless as he looked at Luo Dongren and said calmly, "What do you want to see me about? Speak."

"Lord Su, are you three prefectures in Lingnan building a teleportation array?"

Luo Dongren stated bluntly, "Excuse my frankness, but your teleportation array cannot be built."

As he spoke, his eyes were fixed on Su Mu.

Unfortunately, to his disappointment, Su Mu's expression remained unchanged, making it impossible to discern what Su Mu was thinking.

This is completely different from what he expected.

He originally thought that even if Su Mu didn't believe him, his expression would definitely change after he dropped such a bombshell.

It should be understood that this teleportation array was extremely expensive to build. The three states of Lingnan had exhausted all their resources to barely construct such an array. If it were destroyed, the three states of Lingnan would absolutely not be able to bear the loss.

It was precisely because he knew this that he was so confident he could persuade Su Mu.

but--

Su Mu's reaction left him somewhat uncertain.

Su Mu gestured for him to continue, without saying a word.

Luo Dongren was filled with trepidation, but the die was cast and he had no choice but to proceed.

"Emperor Xuan, Yang Xiuhu, sent Zheng Deshan, the inspector of the Great Xuan Surveillance Bureau, to destroy the teleportation array of your three prefectures in Lingnan."

Luo Dongren said, "You may not take Deng Deshan seriously, but I can tell you that Zheng Deshan sent someone to make a move, and that person is a descendant of the Celestial Venerable!"

Luo Dongren spoke in a serious tone and with a solemn expression.

A glint of light flashed deep in Su Mu's eyes.

Luo Dongren noticed this subtle change and was overjoyed, thinking that Su Mu would remain unresponsive.

So he can react too!

Indeed, these four descendants of the Celestial Venerable are not to be underestimated by anyone!

"The significance of the Celestial Venerable's descendants needs no further explanation from me."

Luo Dongren felt emboldened again and said in a deep voice, "The descendants of the Celestial Venerable have mastered the Celestial Venerable's ultimate techniques. What they want to do is something that almost no one in the world can stop."

He intends to destroy the teleportation arrays of your three Lingnan prefectures; your teleportation arrays will inevitably be destroyed.

"so what?"

Su Mu said calmly.

“We, the gravediggers, can help you avoid this consequence.”

Luo Dongren said confidently, "The Celestial Venerable's descendants are in the shadows, while the three states of Lingnan are in the open. You have no way to avoid them. But if I can tell you the whereabouts of the Celestial Venerable's descendants, then with your abilities, you can either stop them from destroying the teleportation array or kill them."

"what do you want?"

Su Mu's expression remained unchanged as he calmly spoke.

He never expected that not long ago, Gou Ye had come to him to discuss how to kill these tomb guardians, and now the tomb guardians were coming to him to discuss how to kill Gou Ye.

The tomb keeper probably never imagined that he had some connection with Gou Ye.

Luo Dongren was overjoyed. As soon as Su Mu said that, he knew that everything was in the bag!
Su Mu indeed could not bear the consequences of the destruction of the teleportation array in the three states of Lingnan.

I said, with such a huge loss, even ten years' worth of taxes from the three prefectures of Lingnan might not be enough to make up for it. How could Su Mu possibly bear it?

No matter how strong Su Mu's martial arts are, he can't conjure up wealth out of thin air.

Now that Su Mu is asking him what he wants, it means that Su Mu is already interested.

To be honest, Su Mu is a smart man; he knows he wouldn't come looking for nothing.

Sometimes, doing business with smart people is just easier.

At least the other party knows that a deal cannot be made without words, and they are willing to make sacrifices when necessary.

"It's very simple, we want you, Lord Su, to cooperate with us in putting on a show."

Luo Dongren said confidently.

"acting?"

Su Mu's expression shifted slightly.

"Yes."

Luo Dongren said, "To be honest, we tomb keepers have reached a deal with Emperor Xuan, Yang Xiuhu. Of course, this deal has nothing to do with your three states in Lingnan."

Emperor Xuan, Yang Xiuhu, wants us to infiltrate your inner circle and wait for an opportunity to strike.

"You're telling me all this now so you can get me to cooperate in a charade, to make Emperor Xuan, Yang Xiuhu, misunderstand that you've successfully infiltrated my inner circle?"

Su Mu pondered for a moment and said, "You want to trick Emperor Xuan, Yang Xiuhu?"

"That's understandable."

Luo Dongren nodded and said.

He secretly sighed to himself, realizing that Old Lu was right after all. If they followed the plan, Su Mu would never trust them. Su Mu was the kind of person who understood things instantly.

Su Mu is such a shrewd person, how could it be so easy to deceive him?
Fortunately, everything I'm saying now is the truth.

This was an open strategy, and Su Mu was not worried that he wouldn't believe it.

"It sounds like I haven't lost anything."

Su Mu said slowly.

"It's more than just that there was no loss."

Luo Dongren said, "You only need to cooperate with us to put on a show, and you can prevent a great disaster from happening in the three prefectures of Lingnan. Moreover, you can also kill a powerful enemy who is a descendant of the Celestial Venerable."

In addition, by helping us, you have created a powerful enemy for Emperor Xuan, Yang Xiuhu, which also reduces the pressure on the three states of Lingnan.

Killing three birds with one stone, why not?

"Makes sense."

Su Mu nodded and said.

"So, as long as you agree, Lord Su, I can cooperate with you to assassinate the descendant of that Heavenly Venerable..."

Luo Dongren said excitedly.

He said, how could Su Mu possibly refuse such a benefit that was offered to him on his own initiative?

In truth, Su Mu didn't need to give anything in return, so he had no reason to refuse.

"What if I don't agree?"

Su Mu suddenly spoke up.

"Don't agree?"

Luo Dongren's expression froze instantly.

He looked at Su Mu, his face filled with astonishment.

"Why won't you agree? This deal doesn't require you to give anything up."

You can save the three prefectures of Lingnan from disaster without having to give anything in return. Why would you refuse such a good thing?

Luo Dongren was somewhat incredulous and blurted it out.

"Luo Dongren, when you ask someone for a favor, you should have the right attitude."

Su Mu said calmly, "You want to use someone else to do your dirty work and then make me play along, that's not impossible, but you can't expect me to do anything for nothing. There's no such thing as a free lunch."

Luo Dongren: "..."

"No, we saved the three prefectures of Lingnan from a great calamity—"

Luo Dongren defended himself.

"You? If I understand correctly, I need to deal with the descendants of that Celestial Venerable myself."

Su Mu said calmly.

"Yes, but without our cooperation, you would have no idea where the descendant of the Heavenly Venerable was."

Luo Dongren argued.

"Haven't you heard of the idiom 'waiting for a rabbit to bump into a tree stump'?"

Su Mu smiled nonchalantly and said calmly, "Since I know that so-called descendant of the Heavenly Venerable will come to destroy the teleportation array, then I will just wait for him there."

I don't believe he can succeed again right under my nose.

"Since that's the case, you're no longer of any use. Why should I trade with you?"

"No, I just told you that a descendant of a Celestial Venerable is coming to destroy your teleportation array!"

Luo Dongren was extremely annoyed.

"You don't need to tell me that."

Su Mu calmly said, "He has already destroyed the teleportation array of my three states in Lingnan once. Do you think I wouldn't be able to find out his identity?"

"Gou Ye comes from the Gou family of the Taixu Sacred Realm and is a descendant of the Gou family's Heavenly Venerable."

Su Mu looked at Luo Dongren and said, word by word, "The Gou family's Heavenly Venerable has been gone for a long time, and the Gou family has been in decline for many years. Only Gou Ye remains, a lone descendant who lives in the world and works as a hired hand."

He is skilled in the Celestial Venerable's ultimate technique, the "Hate the Earth Without Rings," which can cause earth dragons to rise from a hundred miles away, destroying towns with the flick of a wrist.

Su Mu's gaze fell on Luo Dongren, a mocking expression on his face. "Luo Dongren, am I wrong?"

Luo Dongren stared in disbelief. He opened and closed his mouth a few times, but no sound came out.

He looked at Su Mu as if he had seen a ghost.

How did Su Mu know?
How could he possibly know?
He actually knew more about Gou Ye than I did.

That's impossible.

If Zheng Deshan hadn't said it, even the tomb keepers wouldn't have known of Gou Ye's existence.

Su Mu actually knew everything about Gou Ye's existence. Is he even human?
"So, Luo Dongren, tell me, what is your value to me?"

Su Mu said, "In war, envoys are not to be killed. I can let you go this time, but the next time we meet, my sword will be ready to kill."

"see a visitor out."

Su Mu said calmly.

"Wait a minute!"

Luo Dongren quickly stood up and said.

He was no longer as composed as before.

If negotiations fail, the gravediggers will be back in the same predicament they were in before.

Do not!
It's worse than before!

Since Su Mu knew of Gou Ye's existence, he must also know that the tomb guardians were now cooperating with Gou Ye.

In other words, Su Mu could kill Gou Ye and the tomb keeper at any time!

With Su Mu's cultivation at the Heavenly Profound Realm, he could definitely do that.

If negotiations fail, the tomb keepers will face annihilation.

Therefore, he cannot leave.

He has to succeed in the negotiations!

"Lord Su, I have something else to say!"

Luo Dongren's mind raced, and he quickly called out.

Before he had human emotions and memories, the gravedigger was fearless and undaunted.

But now they have regained their human emotions and memories, though they are not the same as before, and they don't want to die now.

"What else do you have to say?"

Su Mu looked at him like he was looking at a dead man and said indifferently.

His gaze intensified the pressure on Luo Dongren. Luo Dongren thought to himself, "Sure enough, Su Mu has already decided to kill them, the tomb guardians."

"Since it's a transaction, the natural approach is to ask for the highest price and then negotiate the lowest."

Luo Dongren's mind raced, and he said in a deep voice, "If you, Lord Su, feel that the price we've offered isn't enough, then we can raise it further."

Now, Lord Su, what you need to do is kill the descendant of the Celestial Venerable and act in a play with us tomb guardians for Emperor Xuan Yang Xiuhu.

Originally, one of the prices we tomb keepers paid was information about the descendants of the Celestial Venerable.

Now that you, Lord Su, don't need information about the descendants of the Celestial Venerable, we can change the price.

For example, a divinely ordained weapon.

Luo Dongren looked at Su Mu and said solemnly, "Lord Su, you know that our duty as tomb keepers is to guard the seventy-two divine weapons of destiny. No one knows the whereabouts of the divine weapons of destiny better than us."

Even if others have the map, it will be difficult for them to obtain the Divine Weapon of Destiny.

But we are different. We have several divine weapons of destiny. We used these divine weapons to escape your formation before. We can give you these divine weapons of destiny.

One—no, two divine weapons of destiny!
Two divine weapons of destiny, as our bargaining chip!

“Luo Dongren, the Heavenly Mandate Divine Weapon is a treasure in your eyes, but in my eyes, it is no different from bricks and rubble.”

Su Mu smiled faintly and said.

"Just watch carefully."

Before he finished speaking, Su Mu flipped his wrist, and a long sword appeared in his hand.

His aura suddenly changed.

Boom!Boom!
Luo Dongren knocked over a chair and instinctively retreated to the doorway, only to feel a fierce aura rushing towards him, an aura that made him feel as if his life was threatened.

Fortunately, Su Mu did not lay a hand on him.

This made Luo Dongren stop in his tracks and look at Su Mu with curiosity.

Su Mu held a long sword and suddenly threw a punch.

The sky appeared as if it were glass, with visible cracks appearing.

At the same time, Su Mu slashed out with his longsword.

Horizontal and vertical.

The longsword swung in the air, forming a tic-tac-toe pattern.

In an instant.

A flash of light appeared in the center of the grid, then turned into a bottomless blackness.

At the same time, the surrounding light rushed towards the darkness, like water flowing downhill, quickly filling the darkness.

Click!
Amid the sound of shattering glass, cracks spread rapidly throughout the room and then healed.

Luo Dongren subconsciously turned his head to the side, and a force grazed his ear and vanished, along with a strand of his hair.

Luo Dongren's eyes were filled with fear.

This power is—

He remembered the time before they came to Outland, or more precisely, before they became gravediggers.

A powerful figure once told them some secrets.

This includes the secret of the Heavenly Weapon!
Among the seventy-two thieves, there was a supreme expert surnamed Li, who was the strongest among the seventy-two thieves. Legend has it that he once fought against the Heavenly Venerable and escaped unscathed.

That powerful man surnamed Li forged seventy-two divine weapons of destiny. The method he used to forge these seventy-two divine weapons of destiny was called the Qiankun Creation Method.

The scene in the legend of him forging seventy-two divine weapons is exactly the same as what is happening now.

Sealing a space within a weapon—this is the magic of creation!
Luo Dongren's breathing became rapid.

"I can't forge a Heavenly Mandate Divine Weapon yet. What I forge can only be called a Heavenly Mandate Mystic Weapon."

Su Mu said calmly, "However, sooner or later, I will be able to forge a divine weapon of destiny."

"Luo Dongren, you want to bribe me with two divine weapons of destiny? Do you think you're worthy?"

Is it worthy?

Is it worthy?

These two words echoed in Luo Dongren's mind, and he also asked himself, "Are you worthy?"

Are you worthy of trading with a Shetland Sheepdog?

Do you even deserve to negotiate with a Shetland Sheepdog?

Two divine weapons of destiny!
They have mastered the art of creation, and one day, they will be able to forge as many divine weapons as they desire!
It's like trying to bribe someone with 100 taels of gold, only to find out they own a gold mine!
Luo Dongren, you're a joke!

Luo Dongren's heart was filled with bitterness.

A person who has mastered the Creation Technique of Heaven and Earth would be an absolute superior being even in the Great Void Sacred Realm.

On what grounds can the tomb keepers make deals with others?
What could possibly be of interest to the gravediggers?
Does this mean that the gravedigger is just waiting to die?

Luo Dongren was somewhat unwilling.

They had finally managed to break free from their identity as gravediggers, and had just regained their human emotions and memories, only to die like this. They were truly unwilling to accept it.

Not reconciled!
But how can they get Su Mu to let them go?

When they were tomb keepers, they had a deep-seated grudge against Su Mu.

If Su Mu hadn't returned in time, they would have almost wiped out the three prefectures of Lingnan.

Su Mu will never easily let go of this deep-seated grudge.

Luo Dongren stood at the door, almost collapsing to the ground. He struggled to steady himself, looked at Su Mu, and said in a deep voice, "Divine Weapons of Destiny are not the same as Divine Weapons of Destiny."

Even if you can forge a Heavenly Weapon, it will still be different from the seventy-two Heavenly Weapons.

The seventy-two divine weapons of destiny possessed by the seventy-two thieves conceal a tremendous secret.

This secret is not only related to the secret of becoming a Celestial Venerable, but also to the treasure of the Seventy-Two Thieves.

Back then, the Seventy-Two Thieves were all famous figures. Before they divided up the outer regions, they had collected countless rare and precious treasures, which disappeared after their deaths.

Legend has it that if you collect all seventy-two divine weapons, you will receive their gifts.

Only we, the tomb keepers, can gather all seventy-two divine weapons of destiny, and only we, the tomb keepers, can unlock the secrets of these seventy-two divine weapons of destiny.

Two divine weapons of destiny aren't enough? Then use seventy-two!

Luo Dongren gritted his teeth, looking like a madman, "Using seventy-two divine weapons of destiny as our bargaining chips, we, the tomb guardians, will trade with you. Is that enough?!"

"You possess seventy-two divine weapons of destiny?"

Su Mu said calmly.

“If I remember correctly, I have two pieces, so you can only collect a maximum of seventy pieces.”

"Luo Dongren, the two missing items can be paid for with two heads."

"Seventy divine weapons of destiny, plus the heads of Emperor Xuan, Yang Xiuhu, and Zheng Deshan, and I will grant your request."

Su Mu said calmly.

Luo Dongren: "..."

He was speechless.

If their tomb guardians had the ability to kill Emperor Xuan, Yang Xiuhu, and Zheng Deshan, would they need to lower themselves to negotiate with you, Su Mu?

You, Su Mu, can't do it? You expect us, the tomb keepers, to do it?
“Lord Su, if you want to kill us all, then you can do it. There’s no need to make up this excuse.”

Luo Dongren said bitterly, "We did offend you, but back then we were the gravediggers. Now, we don't want to be your enemy."

"You just want to see me and Emperor Xuan, Yang Xiuhu, fight to the death so that you can reap the benefits."

Su Mudao.

"Yes, I admit it!"

Luo Dongren knew that there was no point in arguing with Su Mu.

"But you must also admit that if you can get our help, the three states of Lingnan can also reduce their losses when facing the Great Xuan."

Even if we are not the best, we are still Void Return Realm experts.

"Seventy Void Return Realm experts—I don't believe they're worthless."

"Lord Su, let's be frank. What exactly do you want us to do before you're willing to make this deal with us?"

Luo Dongren took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "As long as it's within our power, I, Luo Dongren, on behalf of all the other brothers, agree!"
