The First Marquis of Daxuan

Looking at the teleportation array that was already 90% complete, Liang Jinglue revealed a barely perceptible sneer.

"Zheng Deshan, if you keep your promise, that's fine. But if you break your word, I'll show you that no one can fool me, Liang Jinglue!"

Liang Jinglue sneered inwardly.

With only a wisp of his soul remaining, he watched helplessly as Su Mu grew stronger and stronger.

He once thought he would never have the chance to take revenge in his lifetime.

Whether it's Su Mu or Xuan Di Yang Xiu Hu, they've both become so strong that he can't even begin to compare.

Even at the height of his power, he could no longer see the backs of those two people.

But Zheng Deshan gave him a glimmer of hope.

This teleportation array, which allows travel to and from the Taixu Sacred Realm, is his hope for revenge.

Despite this, he felt no gratitude whatsoever towards Zheng Deshan.

Because he knew very well that Zheng Deshan was using him.

Since it's a mutual exploitation, it's no wonder that Liang Jinglue would keep a backup plan.

“Zheng Deshan is one side, Emperor Xuan Yang Xiuhu is another side, Su Mu is yet another side, and then there’s me.”

Liang Jinglue thought to himself, "Of the four forces, I am currently the weakest. However, with the teleportation array in my hands, I have the right to be on the table."

Liang Jinglue was secretly pleased with himself.

Liang Jinglue was a master. Back then, he went from having nothing to assisting the Demon Lord in establishing the Demon Court and competing with the Great Xuan for a hundred years.

He now has more cards to play than before.

If he can rise to prominence once, he can naturally rise to prominence a second time.

"Su Mu, Su Mu, not killing me completely was the biggest mistake you ever made in your life."

What doesn't kill me only makes me stronger.

Liang Jinglue sneered inwardly, "With this teleportation array, I can obtain cultivation resources from the Taixu Sacred Realm. At that time, I will definitely be able to suppress all of you!"

The thought of finally getting revenge made Liang Jinglue's blood boil.

"Hurry up, everyone! Move that array plate three inches to the left, and place that stone in the resting position!"

Liang Jinglue shouted loudly.

…………

Su Mu suppressed his aura and quietly observed for a while.

The strongest cultivator in the garden was Liang Jinglue, who was at the Integration Realm, so no one could detect Su Mu's presence.

Having thoroughly familiarized himself with the entire courtyard, Su Mu vanished into thin air in a flash.

A breeze blew.

Liang Jinglue subconsciously looked up, but saw nothing.

He suddenly felt uneasy, but he didn't know where it came from.

"Maybe it's because the teleportation array is about to be completed, and I'm a little nervous."

Liang Jinglue muttered to himself, "Almost there, it'll be finished soon."

His eyes gleamed with anticipation, banishing the slight unease from his mind.

…………

A few days flew by.

Although undercurrents were swirling in the capital city of Da Xuan, everything appeared normal on the surface.

Whether it was Zheng Deshan, Emperor Xuan Yang Xiuhu, or Liang Jinglue, they were all waiting for the teleportation array to be completed.

As for Su Mu and his three companions, they seemed to be mere spectators.

Especially the Shetland Sheepdog.

As if he had forgotten the purpose of coming to the capital, he wandered around every day, drinking tea and listening to music, living a leisurely and carefree life.

This day.

suddenly.

The ground trembled slightly, and a beam of light shot into the sky, lasting for the time it takes to brew a cup of tea.

For a time, the sound of wind breaking echoed continuously within the capital city of Da Xuan.

One after another, figures rushed towards the spot where the pillar of light had risen.

The teleportation array is finally complete!

…………

When Su Mu leisurely arrived at the garden where the teleportation array was being built, the area was already under martial law.

The Great Xuan Imperial Guards surrounded the garden, layer upon layer, covering an area of ​​several miles, and no unauthorized personnel were allowed to enter.

However, these people certainly couldn't stop Su Mu.

Taking advantage of the chaos at the scene, Su Mu slipped into the garden in a flash.

A flash of light appeared on his body, and his face transformed into something else entirely.

He now looks exactly like a soldier from the Tian Ce Army, and unless they happen to run into each other, no one will be able to tell his true identity.

With such convincing deception, Su Mu brazenly blended into the crowd, watching the three opposing forces confronting each other around the teleportation array ahead.

Although it's described as a standoff, they haven't completely broken off relations yet.

Moreover, Liang Jinglue is currently standing behind Zheng Deshan, looking at Emperor Xuan Yang Xiuhu with hatred on his face. On the surface, he and Zheng Deshan are still in cahoots.

"Minister Zheng, is this teleportation array ready to use?"

Emperor Xuan, Yang Xiuhu, said in a deep voice.

The reason he hasn't taken action yet is because he's not sure if the teleportation array has actually been completed.

In case of any problems, he currently has no array cultivators under his command to use.

"Your Majesty, the teleportation array has been set up, but whether it has been successfully connected to the Taixu Sacred Realm remains to be seen, and we will have to send someone to test it."

Zheng Deshan said.

He glanced discreetly at the people behind Emperor Xuan, Yang Xiuhu, a hint of malice flashing in his eyes.

He hadn't expected that Emperor Xuan, Yang Xiuhu, would be so impatient; he led his men to attack as soon as the teleportation array was set up.

He originally planned to report to Emperor Xuan, Yang Xiuhu, after everything had settled down.

At that point, everything was already under control.

However, Emperor Xuan, Yang Xiuhu, arrived too early; he hadn't had time to bring the Ten Vajras over yet.

"If Your Majesty does not object, I am willing to try it myself."

Zheng Deshan bowed slightly and said.

"it is good."

Emperor Xuan, Yang Xiuhu, looked at Zheng Deshan with a half-smile and spoke.

Zheng Deshan was slightly taken aback.

He had assumed that Emperor Xuan, Yang Xiuhu, had arrived in such a menacing manner because he distrusted him and would not allow him to access the teleportation array again.

Now, Emperor Xuan, Yang Xiuhu, actually allows him to use the teleportation array?

Give it a try.

As soon as he reaches the other side of the teleportation array, he can immediately summon the Ten Vajra Guardians.

At that time, Emperor Xuan, Yang Xiuhu, will be like a grasshopper in autumn, unable to jump around for long.

With these thoughts in mind, Zheng Deshan had already stood in the center of the teleportation array.

"How do I activate this teleportation array?"

Emperor Xuan, Yang Xiuhu, looked interested.

"Brother Liang, thank you for your trouble."

Zheng Deshan looked at Liang Jinglue and spoke.

Liang Jing hesitated for a moment, then stepped in front of the teleportation array, about to embed a spirit stone in his hand into it.

"Wait a minute."

Just as Liang Jinglue's hand was only inches away from the teleportation array and the array was about to be activated, Emperor Xuan, Yang Xiuhu, suddenly spoke.

He moved swiftly and suddenly appeared beside Liang Jinglue, grabbing Liang Jinglue's wrist.

Liang Jinglue was startled and instinctively threw a punch at Emperor Xuan Yang Xiuhu's chest.

Emperor Xuan, Yang Xiuhu, gave a sarcastic smile, and with a flick of his arm, threw Liang Jinglue out.

After Liang Jing landed, he staggered back a few steps. Before he could react, two of the Six Ding and Six Jia grabbed his arms and pressed him to the spot.

The spirit stones that were originally in Liang Jinglue's hands have now fallen into the hands of Emperor Xuan, Yang Xiuhu.

Emperor Xuan, Yang Xiuhu, wore a mocking smile as he looked at Zheng Deshan.

"I have suddenly changed my mind."

He slowly said, "Minister Zheng, you don't need to do the scouting."

Zheng Deshan stood in the center of the teleportation array, his face turning extremely grim.

Before he could even speak, Emperor Xuan, Yang Xiuhu, had already waved his hand.

"Kill them all."

boom!
A series of powerful auras erupted.

The group of powerful warriors brought by Emperor Xuan, Yang Xiuhu, rushed towards Zheng Deshan's men without hesitation.

The barbarian god and the peddler, who had disguised themselves as inspectors and blended into the crowd, were now surrounded by empty space as several powerful figures attacked them directly.

In an instant, the garden was in complete chaos.

Even the Marquis of Jin and the Marquis of Mingyi, who had disguised themselves and infiltrated the group, were attacked as Zheng Deshan's accomplices.

Gou Ye had disappeared somewhere, while Su Mu disguised himself as a member of the Tian Ce Army and charged forward, blending into the crowd.

Zheng Deshan's face was ashen, and he looked at Emperor Xuan, Yang Xiuhu, with murderous intent.

"When did you find out?"

Zheng Deshan said coldly.

At this point, there's no point in trying to explain.

It was obvious that Emperor Xuan, Yang Xiuhu, had come prepared.

This only proves that Emperor Xuan, Yang Xiuhu, had already seen through his true identity.

"Zheng Deshan, do you think you can fool my eyes? Don't forget, I also come from the Taixu Sacred Realm."

I am all too familiar with that aloof and superior air about you, that disciple of a major sect in the Taixu Sacred Realm.

"I was merely playing along with you before. Now, the play is over, it's time to take the curtain call."

Emperor Xuan, Yang Xiuhu, sneered.

He took a step forward.

boom!
A tremendous aura surged into the sky.

Tianxuan Realm!
For the first time, Emperor Xuan, Yang Xiuhu, publicly revealed the aura of the Heavenly Profound Realm.

A powerful aura surged outwards like waves.

The powerful aura forced everyone to retreat continuously.

Soon, only Emperor Xuan, Yang Xiuhu, and Zheng Deshan remained within a hundred feet of the teleportation array.

Zheng Deshan stood in the center of the teleportation array, his clothes fluttering in the wind.

A soft white light emanated from his body, seemingly faint, but under the imposing aura of Emperor Xuan, Yang Xiuhu, the white light grew steadily.

really.

Su Mu, who was slacking off in the crowd, thought to himself.

Zheng Deshan is also a Heavenly Profound Realm expert!
Looking at the two facing off, a thought suddenly popped into Su Mu's mind.

“Something’s not right. If the person who gave Zhang Zhuoxing the array diagram was one of Martial Ancestor’s men, then theoretically Zheng Deshan should also have the array diagram.”

If Zheng Deshan wanted to bring the Martial Ancestor's people over, he could have secretly set up the teleportation array beforehand; there was no need for him to rely on Emperor Xuan, Yang Xiuhu.

Su Mu thought to himself.

As the Inspector of the Great Xuan Surveillance Bureau, it wouldn't be difficult for Zheng Deshan to gather the materials to set up the teleportation array.

If he had secretly colluded with Liang Jinglue to set up the teleportation array, then Emperor Xuan Yang Xiuhu would have had no chance at all, and there would have been no battle like this.

Surely Zheng Deshan wouldn't put himself in this situation just to save some money.

"Unless, Zheng Deshan never had the teleportation array diagram before! He only obtained the teleportation array diagram not long ago, and this matter could not be hidden from Emperor Xuan, Yang Xiuhu!"

A sharp glint flashed in Su Mu's eyes.

If that's the case, then it means there's another hand behind this!

Besides the Martial Ancestor, there are others who have made moves in the outer regions!
This person is extremely well hidden; I only caught a glimpse of him when he saved Zhang Zhuoxing last time.

"Theoretically, if this person possesses the array diagram of a teleportation array, he could freely travel between the outer realms and the Taixu Sacred Realm. Who exactly is he?"

A chill ran through Su Mu's heart.

Zheng Deshan was fighting against Emperor Xuan, Yang Xiuhu, and he was watching from the shadows.

And who is secretly watching Su Mu?

The mantis stalks the cicada while the oriole follows behind.

Su Mu once thought he was a mantis stalking a cicada.

It seems that behind the oriole, there might be an eagle.

Su Mu cautiously observed his surroundings.

The other party deliberately released the diagram of the teleportation array. Now that the teleportation array has been set up, shouldn't they close the net?

His gaze swept over everyone in the garden.

No.

There is no fourth Heavenly Profound Realm in the garden.

While Su Mu was filled with doubt, Emperor Xuan, Yang Xiuhu, and Zheng Deshan had already clashed.

The two of them rushed into the air in perfect unison, so that their battle would not destroy the hard-won teleportation array.

After Emperor Xuan, Yang Xiuhu, and Zheng Deshan clashed, the area around the teleportation array became empty.

The barbarian god, the peddler, and other men under Zheng Deshan were already surrounded and were being killed as they retreated step by step.

The situation of the Marquis of Jin and the Marquis of Mingyi was not much better.

However, unlike the barbarian gods and their companions, they fought and retreated, eventually exiting the garden.

With Gou Ye providing backup, Su Mu was not worried about the safety of the Marquis of Jin and the Marquis of Mingyi.

Turning his head to look at the empty teleportation array, Su Mu's eyes narrowed slightly.

Although the real mastermind has not yet revealed themselves, now is the best time to seize the teleportation array.

Can't wait any longer!

A sharp glint flashed in his eyes.

Su Mu's aura changed.

He clenched his fist and slammed it hard on the ground.

The Celestial Venerable's Ultimate Technique: The Earth's Boundless Regret!
Boom!

With a loud bang, the earth shook violently.

Cracks appeared on the ground and quickly spread outwards, causing the space itself to tremble.

In mid-air.

Zheng Deshan and Emperor Xuan, Yang Xiuhu, were locked in a fierce battle and did not notice the commotion on the ground.

Even if they noticed, neither of them had the time to spare.

The two were evenly matched in strength, and neither dared to be distracted in the slightest.

This gave Su Mu an opportunity.

Amidst the violent shaking, those around lost their footing and cried out in alarm, scattering for cover.

Su Mu had already appeared in front of the teleportation array.

He spread his hands apart, and a giant cauldron rose into the air.

The divine weapon of destiny, the Yin-Yang Cauldron.

The moment the Yin-Yang Cauldron appeared, Su Mu made several horizontal and vertical gestures with his hands.

hum!
A black line suddenly appeared around the teleportation array, as if it had been severed from the surrounding space.

Su Mu roared, veins bulging on his forehead.

He grabbed the teleportation array with both hands and lifted it up abruptly.

at the same time.

The Yin-Yang Cauldron shone brightly, instantly enveloping the teleportation array.

Crunch.

A grating, oppressive sound.

Su Mu actually managed to force the teleportation array into the Yin-Yang Cauldron.

As the teleportation array disappeared into the Yin-Yang Cauldron, Su Mu grabbed the cauldron without hesitation and rushed out.

Just after Su Mu had traveled several hundred feet, the space itself began to crumble.

The shattered space flowed toward the gap like water.

A series of black lightning bolts instantly enveloped the area around the garden.

A deafening roar echoed throughout the room.

A burst of power exploded outwards.

Countless people were thrown into the air.

Even Zheng Deshan and Emperor Yang Xiuhu in the air were affected.

The force of the explosion struck the two of them, sending them flying high into the air.

They looked down in shock and saw that half of the capital was in ruins.

As for the teleportation array they fought so hard for, it has already disappeared.

"who!"

Emperor Xuan, Yang Xiuhu, let out a thunderous roar.

"That's enough for today, we'll fight again tomorrow!"

A glint flashed in Zheng Deshan's eyes, and he turned and left without hesitation.

With the teleportation array gone, there was no need for him to fight Emperor Xuan Yang Xiuhu to the death.

"No one is leaving today!"

Emperor Xuan, Yang Xiuhu, roared and lunged at Zheng Deshan.

The two clashed again.

…………

The capital city of Da Xuan was in complete chaos.

Su Mu left Da Xuanjing City with ease.

Despite his physical exhaustion, Su Mu persevered and continued until he was hundreds of miles away before stopping.

Just as he closed his eyes to regulate his breathing and recovered most of his strength.

Gou Ye, the Marquis of Jin, and the Marquis of Mingyi also arrived late.

Seeing that Su Mu was safe and sound, the three of them breathed a sigh of relief.

"Master Su, you didn't see it, that old bastard Zheng Deshan is in real trouble this time."

Gou Ye said excitedly, "I almost got killed."

He had never suffered such a great loss even in the Taixu Sacred Realm.

Unexpectedly, this Xuan Emperor Yang Xiuhu is truly remarkable.

"Zheng Deshan escaped?"

Su Mudao.

After using the Qiankun Creation Technique to take away the teleportation array, he became extremely weak. Moreover, Su Mu was worried that the mastermind behind it all would reveal himself, so he immediately chose to retreat and did not witness the final outcome.

"The two fought fiercely, but in the end Zheng Deshan lost and fled with serious injuries."

However, all of his men died within the capital city of Da Xuan.

Gou Ye said, "Luckily we ran fast, otherwise we would have ended up like them."

"Emperor Xuan, Yang Xiuhu, is still too cunning. Every time we see him make a move, we get the feeling that his strength has increased again."

The Marquis of Jin said with emotion.

Who could have imagined that Emperor Xuan, Yang Xiuhu, would be so powerful?

If Emperor Xuan, Yang Xiuhu, had revealed his strength earlier, would the Taiping Division have had to work so hard all those years?
Thinking of this, the Marquis of Jin and the Marquis of Mingyi were filled with hatred.

Despite possessing overwhelming power, he pretended to be ignorant of martial arts, forcing the Great Xuan Taiping Division to risk their lives.

That's fine then.

He even discarded the donkey after it had served its purpose and burned the bridge after it had been used!

He actually wants to destroy the Taiping Division, which has risked its life for the Great Xuan for so many years.

Was there any third-party involvement?

Su Mu pondered for a moment and asked.

"You mean Liang Jinglue, the Imperial Preceptor of the Demon Court?"

Marquis Jin said, "When Zheng Deshan fled, he took Liang Jinglue with him as well."

They learned of Liang Jinglue, the Imperial Preceptor of the Demon Court, from Su Mu.

If Su Mu hadn't told them, they wouldn't have recognized that person as Liang Jinglue, the Imperial Preceptor of the Demon Court.

"Apart from this, no third party intervened."

Gou Ye added.

"Oh, right, we pulled off one last job before we left."

Marquis Mingyi Zhang Songtao said, "The situation in the capital is no different from back then. We looted one of the royal family's private treasuries, so this trip wasn't in vain."

At this point, all three of them showed joy on their faces.

Marquis Jin and Marquis Mingyi had been the Marquises of Peace for so many years that they were very familiar with every tree and blade of grass in the capital.

They also knew exactly where the royal storehouses were.

However, given Emperor Xuan's cunning, he would surely hide the truly valuable things very well.

Even so, they still made a considerable profit from looting a royal treasury.

"Although there are no particularly rare treasures, it is equivalent to half a year's taxes from the three prefectures of Lingnan."

The Marquis of Jin said with a smile.

"It's a pity that Zheng Deshan is too useless. If he could have held out for a few more hours, we could have plundered another warehouse."

Marquis Mingyi, Zhang Songtao, said with some regret.

The capital city of Da Xuan is full of treasures. If they could have more time, their gains would at least double.

"This is already very good."

Su Mu said with a smile, "Don't forget, we also took away the teleportation array that Emperor Xuan, Yang Xiuhu, painstakingly set up. That's the real prize."

A teleportation array is priceless.

The three prefectures of Lingnan almost exhausted their resources to build the teleportation array.

Emperor Xuan, Yang Xiuhu, also put a great deal of effort into setting up this teleportation array.

This teleportation array is several times more valuable than what Marquis Jin and Marquis Mingyi obtained.

"This time it went too smoothly, thanks to Zheng Deshan and Emperor Xuan Yang Xiu fighting like dogs."

Gou Ye said.

As soon as he finished speaking, Su Mu frowned.

Gou Ye and the other two noticed Su Mu's expression and were all startled. They couldn't help but ask, "Is something wrong?"

"Something is wrong."

Su Mu said in a deep voice, "Don't you all feel that our operation this time went too smoothly?"

"Isn't it good if things go too smoothly?"

Marquis Mingyi, Zhang Songtao, blurted out the words, but once they were out of his mouth, he realized his mistake and a thoughtful expression appeared on his face.

"It really went too smoothly."

Gou Ye said in a deep voice, "From the moment we entered the city to the moment we succeeded, we encountered almost no difficulties. Everything went smoothly, as if someone had deliberately wanted us to obtain the teleportation array."

"But the battle between Zheng Deshan and Emperor Xuan Yang Xiuhu should be real. They fought fiercely and almost killed Zheng Deshan."

Moreover, Emperor Xuan, Yang Xiuhu, was also seriously injured.

Marquis Jin pondered for a moment before speaking.

Not only that, all of Zheng Deshan's men were also killed in battle.

The barbarian god and that peddler are both powerful experts at the Void Returning Realm.

If Zheng Deshan and Emperor Xuan of Han (Yang Xiuhu) were putting on an act, then the price they paid for this performance was far too high.

Besides, there's no point in them putting on this show.

Why should they hand over the teleportation array they painstakingly set up?

"Before this incident, who knew you were coming to seize the teleportation array?"

Marquis Jin looked at Su Mu and asked with a serious expression.

What do you mean by that? Are you doubting me?

Gou Ye angrily said, "Anyone in the world could betray him, but I am the only one who cannot!"

Anyone who dares to harm him is going against me, Gou Ye!

Prior to this, only Gou Ye knew that Su Mu was coming to the capital to seize the teleportation array.

"I did not mean that."

Marquis Jin explained, "However, if there really is something fishy about this, then the person who orchestrated it must have known that Su Mu would be coming."

I really can't understand what their purpose is in doing this.

"This matter has nothing to do with Gou Ye."

Su Mu shook his head and said.

Gou Ye believed that he was a descendant of the Gou family, so he would never betray him under any circumstances.

For Gou Ye, the matter of the Gou family bloodline is the most important thing. Unless he is certain that Su Mu is not of the Gou family bloodline, he will definitely stand on Su Mu's side.

As for whether Su Mu is of the Gou family bloodline, that is something that cannot be determined at all.

The facts are undeniable: Su Mu has indeed mastered the Gou family's ultimate technique, the Hateful Earth Ring, which only members of the Gou family can master.

"If someone is really plotting against us, I'll make sure they lose everything!"

Gou Ye gritted his teeth and said, "Do you really think Grandpa Gou is easy to bully?"
In all my years of conquering the world, I've never been outmaneuvered by anyone!

The Marquis of Jin and the Marquis of Mingyi pondered and pondered, but could not come up with any solution.

Let alone them, even Su Mu is currently clueless.

"Maybe I'm just overthinking it."

Su Mu said, "Perhaps it's all just a coincidence."

In any case, the teleportation array has been successfully obtained.

Now that it's in my hands, it's mine, and no one can take it away from me.

Su Mu exuded a strong sense of self-confidence.

With his current strength, he has the right to say such things.

Unless a Heavenly Fate Realm expert appears, even a peak Heavenly Profound Realm expert can only manage a draw against Su Mu at best.

As for the experts at the Heavenly Fate Realm...

The outer realms are forbidden zones for experts at the Heavenly Fate Realm!

"In any case, I think we should be cautious."

Marquis Jin said in a deep voice, "If this teleportation array was deliberately given to you by someone, then it is very likely that there is a problem with it."

My advice is not to use this teleportation array.

Even if you do use it, you should let someone else do it; you can't use it yourself.

Marquis Jin looked at Su Mu with a serious expression.

Marquis Mingyi Zhang Songtao and Gou Ye both nodded in agreement.

The three shared the same opinion regarding Su Mu's safety.

That means we absolutely cannot let Su Mu take any risks.

"Have you all forgotten that I am also a formation cultivator?"

Su Mu chuckled and said, "I can tell if there's a problem with the teleportation array."

Even if it has a problem, can't I solve it?

Do you really think I've been practicing formations for nothing?

"Master Su, confidence is a good thing, but we have the upper hand now, so there is really no need to take any risks."

Gou Ye said, "How about this, this time, let me go to the Taixu Sacred Realm."

Once I retrieve our belongings, you'll have enough resources to break through to the Heavenly Fate Realm.

Once you break through to the Heavenly Fate Realm, you'll have the means to secure a place for yourself, whether you stay in the Outer Domain or go to the Great Void Sacred Realm.

“I think what Brother Gou said makes sense.”

The situation in the Taixu Sacred Realm is unclear, and you don't know what you might encounter if you go there rashly.

Why don't we two accompany Brother Gou to the Sacred Realm of the Great Void?

Marquis Jin and Marquis Mingyi, Zhang Songtao, also spoke up.

The Sacred Realm of Taixu is not a benevolent place.

Emperor Xuan, Yang Xiuhu, as well as Xu Xuanji before, and now Zheng Deshan, the Barbarian God, the Peddler, and others, all come from the Taixu Sacred Realm.

Are there any easy-going people among these?
The key point is that they are all top-tier experts in the outer realms, but in the Taixu Sacred Realm, they are just average.

You can tell from them that the Taixu Sacred Realm is no different from a dragon's den or a tiger's lair.

Even with Su Mu's current cultivation level, going to the Taixu Sacred Realm cannot be said to be a sure thing.

We'll figure out how to use this teleportation array later.

Su Mu said, "No rush. Sect Leader Chen and the others have already used our own teleportation array to go to the Taixu Sacred Realm. Let's wait until they return from their reconnaissance before making any decisions."

Hearing Su Mu say this, the three of them stopped talking.

After resting for half a day, they set off to return to the three prefectures of Lingnan.

While passing through the Wumeng Mountains, Su Mu also took a stroll among the mountain tribes.

Ding Liuyi, formerly a woodcutter, has now become the chieftain of the mountain tribe.

All the mountain tribes in the Wumeng Mountains obeyed his every command.

Although Su Mu had previously asked the Barbarian God to appoint Ding Liuyi as a divine messenger, Ding Liuyi's ability to achieve this was beyond Su Mu's expectations.

It must be said that although Ding Liuyi is not a martial artist, his management skills are quite outstanding.

He was able to unify the mountain tribes of Wumeng Mountain.

This matter seems simple, but it is actually not easy.

It should be noted that there are dozens of tribes of mountain people in the Wumeng Mountains, and they even fight against each other.

It is truly remarkable that an ordinary person who is not even a martial artist could achieve this simply by waving the banner of the Barbarian God.

Su Mu was suddenly tempted to be frugal.

Speaking of which, the three prefectures of Lingnan are currently in dire need of talent, especially someone with management skills like Ding Liuyi.

Ding Liuyi was startled when Su Mu suddenly appeared in front of him.

"It's you?"

Ding Liu stared at Su Mu and immediately recognized him as the one who had defeated the Barbarian God that day.

"it's me."

Su Mu smiled faintly, "Ding Liuyi, it seems you've managed the Mountain Clan quite well."

"Are you interested in moving to a different place?"

Ding Liuyi looked at Su Mu, remained silent for a moment, and then slowly said, "It was you who defeated the Barbarian God and saved our Mountain Clan."

"You saved our mountain tribe's life. If there is any order, Ding Liuyi will do his utmost, even through fire and water."

"There wasn't anything particularly dangerous or dangerous."

Su Mu said with a smile, "You should already know who I am."

I am Su Mu, the commander of the Great Xuan Taiping Division, and now also the pacification commissioner of the three prefectures in Lingnan.

My three prefectures in Lingnan are missing a city lord. I wonder if you would be interested?
Of course, the mountain people can either stay in the Wumeng Mountains or go down to live.

If you become the city lord, you can establish trade routes between the three prefectures of Lingnan and the Wumeng Mountains. I think this would be a good thing for both the Wumeng Mountains and the three prefectures of Lingnan.”

Ding Liuyi's face showed a thoughtful expression.

Many days later, he finally looked up at Su Mu.

"I am willing to become the city lord, but there needs to be a time limit."

Ding Liuyi said, "Five years."

I think five years should be enough for me to repay your kindness in saving the mountain tribe.

Five years from now, you can't stop me from returning to Wumeng Mountain.

"Five years?"

Su Mu pondered for a moment.

As the lord of a city in one of the three prefectures of Lingnan, he was considered to hold a high position and great power.

Ding Liu was so indifferent to the wealth and honor that were offered to him.

However, this is fine.

The less someone cares about power, the more confident you are in giving them power.

"Alright, let's agree on a five-year term. During these five years, you will manage a city for me."

However, during these five years, you must be dutiful and responsible. If anything goes wrong, the laws of the three prefectures of Lingnan will fall on your shoulders.

Su Mudao.

"I will certainly not disappoint your expectations."

Ding Liu bowed and said. (End of Chapter)
