The First Marquis of Daxuan

"Keep this piece of chaotic crimson gold safe, for one day you may need it to buy your life from me!"

In an attempt to save face, Zheng Deshan uttered a harsh statement.

Su Mu simply smiled faintly, reached out and caught the Chaos Crimson Gold, and only put it away after confirming that there was no problem.

"I think you should think carefully about what you can offer me in a deal if there's a next time."

Su Mu said with a smile.

"You may all leave."

He waved his sleeve, seemingly unperturbed.

…………

The Demon Court's Grand Preceptor Liang Jinglue and Zheng Deshan arrived in a show of force, only to leave dejected.

Su Mu and his two companions also found the badly injured Fu Lu Shou.

The demons of the Demon Court showed mercy to their former companion.

Otherwise, in the chaos of war, one person could easily trample Fu Lu Shou to death.

Although it is now bruised and battered and looks miserable, at least it is alive and well.

"Lord Su, this really isn't a ruse on my part. I'm not in cahoots with Liang Jinglue and the others."

After being rescued and awakened, Fu Lu Shou's first reaction was to kneel down in front of Su Mu and swear an oath.

"Get up."

Su Mu said calmly, "Even if you're in cahoots with them, it doesn't matter. They're the ones who will suffer this time."

"I'm really not—"

Fu Lu Shou smiled bitterly.

No matter how you look at it, it seems like it deliberately led Su Mu and the others into Liang Jinglue and Zheng Deshan's encirclement. Even it felt that its own explanation was so weak.

Just when Fu Lu Shou didn't know how to prove themselves.

suddenly.

A streak of golden light swept through the air and landed abruptly in front of Su Mu and his companions.

The golden light receded, revealing a burly figure—who else could it be but the Demon Lord?
"Demon Lord?!"

Fu Lu Shou exclaimed in surprise, "You escaped on your own?"

"Demon Lord, please explain this to me quickly! I'm really not with Liang Jinglue and the others. I went to ask for help on your behalf."

"No explanation is needed; he can't hide whether you're in cahoots with Liang Jinglue."

"That's what the Demon Lord said."

It bowed to Su Mu and said solemnly, "Lord Su, thank you for saving me. My life is yours from now on."

Fu Lu Shou stared wide-eyed at the Demon Lord.

Was it Lord Su who rescued the Demon Lord?
But hasn't Lord Su been fighting Liang Jinglue and Zheng Deshan here all along?
How could he possibly have the time to save the Demon Lord?

Fu Lu Shou looked completely bewildered, having no idea what had happened.

However, it was clear that no one present intended to explain it to it.

It's just a mutually beneficial arrangement.

Su Mu said calmly, "Demon Lord, is the map on the back of Fu Lu Shou real or fake?"

He got straight to the point and asked.

Liang Jinglue deliberately orchestrated Fu Lu Shou's escape from the Demon Court, but the map on their backs may not necessarily be fake.

If they wanted to lure Su Mu to the wilderness, the bait couldn't be fake.

"it is true."

The Demon Lord said solemnly, "Liang Jinglue and the others probably didn't see the map on the back of Fu Lu Shou."

Even if they saw it, it wouldn't matter; finding the map's location wouldn't be that easy for them.

What exactly does "Tai Xu" marked on the map mean?

Dongfang Liuyun couldn't help but ask, "What does it have to do with the Taixu Sacred Realm?"

"Tai Xu is Tai Xu. I don't know if it has anything to do with Tai Xu Sacred Realm."

The Demon Lord shook his head and said, "You'll know when you see it."

My achievements today stem from the Great Void.

The Demon Lord was decisive and swift; without a word, it led Su Mu and the others on their journey.

Su Mu and his companions came to the Wilderness specifically for the Great Void, so naturally they wouldn't refuse.

As for whether this might be another trap, the group wasn't worried at all.

With Su Mu's current strength, there are almost no traps in the outer realms that can threaten his life.

Even if he can't win, he's confident he can escape.

Moreover, he was accompanied by Gou Ye.

Gou Ye is a legitimate descendant of the Celestial Venerable, and now he has the cultivation of the Heavenly Profound Realm. His strength is not much worse than that of Zheng Deshan and his ilk.

Moreover, Gou Ye is a descendant of the Celestial Venerable and has mastered the Celestial Venerable's ultimate techniques. When faced with a life-or-death situation, he will definitely be able to unleash extraordinary combat power.

With Su Mu and Gou Ye joining forces, they could not only sweep across the outer regions, but also come and go at will.

Zheng Deshan and Liang Jinglue, the Grand Preceptor of the Demon Court, had already personally confirmed this matter. They had plotted for many days, but ultimately suffered a crushing defeat. They were no match for Su Mu at all.

The Demon Lord's strength is far inferior to Zheng Deshan's. As long as the Demon Lord isn't stupid, he won't seek his own death.

On their journey westward, the Demon Lord learned about the previous great battle from Fu Lu Shou.

It glanced at Su Mu furtively, a sense of unease creeping into its mind.

Judging from the timeline, Su Mu was rescued when it fought Zheng Deshan.

But Su Mu was fighting Zheng Deshan at that time, so who saved it?
The Demon Lord was also knowledgeable. Back then, Liang Jinglue, the National Preceptor of the Demon Court, cultivated the Martial Path of Becoming a God through Incense Offerings, and he had seen what the Golden Body of Incense Offerings looked like.

"Is that Su Mu's incense and wish power golden body? Just his incense and wish power golden body alone has strength comparable to a Heavenly Profound Realm expert. Just how strong is Su Mu?"

The Demon Lord thought to himself, increasingly feeling how wise his choice had been.

With Su Mu's current strength, who in the outer realms can be his opponent?

Sooner or later, Emperor Xuan, Yang Xiuhu, along with Zheng Deshan and Liang Jinglue, will likely be defeated by Su Mu.

By following Su Mu, one's own status will naturally rise as well.

They walked on in silence.

Several days later, the group had ventured deep into the wilderness, and were already thousands of miles away from the Demon Court.

The wilderness is boundless and no one knows exactly how big it is.

The deeper you go into the wilderness, the harsher the environment becomes.

Su Mu and the others were alright, but the sixth-order demon Fu Lu Shou could no longer withstand it. If it continued, it would be corrupted by the foul miasma and turn into a mindless, bloodthirsty beast.

The Demon Lord then sent it back to wait, while he continued onward alone with Su Mu and the others.

"I see!"

Gou Ye suddenly slapped his forehead and said, "I know where this place is!"

This is the site of the decisive battle between the Seventy-Two Thieves and the Celestial Venerables.

Their battle caused the heavens and earth to shatter, turning this place into a wild and desolate continent.

This is an ancient battlefield!

Gou Ye's face showed a mixture of excitement and nervousness.

"We're probably getting close to the heart of the ancient battlefield. There might be the remains of the Seventy-Two Thieves here. If we find them, we'll be rich."

Gou Ye said, "However—there may be all sorts of unexpected dangers in this kind of place, so everyone be careful."

“I’ve heard this claim before.”

The Demon Lord echoed, "When I first reached the sixth rank, I even dreamed of exploring the desolate continent, but I couldn't withstand the pressure before I even got to where I am now, so I've never been able to determine whether this place is an ancient battlefield or not."

"The energy of heaven and earth here is chaotic, making it a deadly situation for both martial artists and demons. With our current cultivation level, we can only barely hold on. Demon Lord, how did you manage to reach the Great Void back then?"

Su Mu looked around and asked.

According to the Demon Lord, the Great Void is still hundreds of miles away from this place.

However, the Demon Lord's strength was barely enough to get here. Its strength back then was far inferior to what it is now, so it should have been absolutely impossible for it to come here, let alone reach the place where the Great Void is located.

Gou Ye and Dongfang Liuyun also looked at the Demon Lord, their faces showing vigilance.

The Demon Lord spoke calmly, "Because I didn't come here on my own; someone brought me here."

"Did someone bring you here?"

Su Mu and the other two changed color at the same time.

This so-called Great Void is located deep within the desolate continent; even those at the Returning Void Realm would find it somewhat difficult to reach it.

In other words, the person who brought the Demon Lord here back then was at least at the Void Returning Realm.

As we all know, the laws of the outer realms are damaged, and under normal circumstances, a martial artist's limit is reaching the Integration Realm.

After Su Mu rose to prominence, he obtained treasures such as the Enlightenment Tea, which led to the successive appearance of those Void Return Realm experts.

Logically speaking, there shouldn't have been such a powerful figure in the outer realms before this.

"To be precise, it should be my master."

The Demon Lord hesitated for a moment before speaking.

In other words, there are only Su Mu and his two companions here now, and no demons from its Demon Court. Otherwise, it would have been too embarrassed to say this.

If the demons of the Demon Court were to learn that their Demon Lord had been a human's pet, their authority would be completely destroyed.

"At that time, I had just awakened my intelligence and could barely be considered a first-order demon. I have been following my master since I can remember."

The Demon Lord overcame his psychological barrier and slowly said, "I have been by my master's side for more than ten years, and then my master brought me here."

He brought me here and then left, but before he left, he cast a spell on me, which allowed me to leave this place alive.

I never saw my master again, nor was I ever able to return to this place.

“After Zheng Deshan and Liang Jinglue imprisoned me, Zheng Deshan questioned me and I learned that there might be some secret hidden here. So I tried to carve a map on the back of Fu Lu Shou so that it could go to you for help.”

The Demon Lord did not hide anything, but it was still young at the time, so many things were unclear.

It couldn't even remember what its so-called owner looked like.

"So, you have absolutely no idea what your master's name is or what his identity is."

Gou Ye couldn't help but say.

"Yes."

The Demon Lord scratched his head somewhat embarrassedly and said...

"Do you know what level of cultivation he has?"

"I don't know either. I only remember that his cultivation level was very high. To me at that time, he was practically a god."

"To a first-tier demon, any person is a god."

Gou Ye said irritably, looking at Su Mu, "Lord Su, what it says is completely useless; it can't even deduce the other party's identity."

"It can't be said that it's completely useless."

Su Mu pondered for a moment and said, "At least we can know that there is such a powerful expert in the outer realms."

If he were still alive, his current strength would probably have reached an unbelievable level.

The Demon Lord has now become a seventh-tier demon. If its master were still alive, its cultivation level would be unfathomable.

Su Mu couldn't help but think of the mysterious expert who had saved Zhang Zhuoxing and taught him his cultivation techniques and teleportation array diagram.

Are these two the same person?
Surely such a small outer realm couldn't possibly be hiding so many mysterious and powerful individuals.

Perhaps they are the same person.

"Demon Lord, your master didn't send you here for no reason, did he?"

Dongfang Liuyun asked thoughtfully.

If this Taixu is the one he saw in his childhood, then it means that Taixu's location can change, and Dongfang Liuyun has never been to the depths of the wilderness.

Moreover, after meeting Taixu, he gained eyes that could see things that ordinary people couldn't. The Demon Lord didn't seem to have anything special about him.

“My master said he had important business to attend to and didn’t know when he would return, so he wanted to leave me a chance and brought me here.”

The Demon Lord said with some sadness.

"You're such a bastard."

Gou Ye couldn't help but curse, "You received such a great favor from people, and then you turned around and established the Demon Court to oppose the human race. You have no conscience at all, you are so ungrateful!"

"I established the Demon Court to find a master. As for dealing with the human race, that's mainly Liang Jinglue's job. I myself have no liking or disliking for the human race."

The Demon Lord defended himself.

After establishing the Demon Court, it focused on cultivation, and Liang Jinglue managed most of the affairs of the Demon Court.

The struggle with the Great Xuan Dynasty was mainly planned by Liang Jinglue. The Demon Lord often acted as a henchman, only acting when Liang Jinglue ordered him to.

"Moreover, I am no longer the ruler of the Demon Court, so I will naturally not harm anyone in the future."

The Demon Ancestor added.

"Different stances lead to different choices. Emperor Xuan, Yang Xiuhu, is a human, but the number of people who died at his hands was no less than that of the Demon Lord."

Su Mu said calmly.

"Thank you for your understanding, Lord Su."

The Demon Lord said with a grateful expression.

Su Mu shook his head. "I'm not trying to be considerate of you."

The Demon Lord, the Demon Court, and the Taiping Division have been fighting for many years, with both sides suffering casualties; this is an unchangeable fact.

I cannot erase this grudge.

If anyone from the Taiping Division comes looking for revenge in the future, I will not interfere; you must understand this.”

"I see."

The Demon Lord said, "I have also read your human history books. When two countries are at war, it is the most difficult for a surrendered general to gain a foothold."

I will resolve the feud between me and the Taiping Division with sincerity.

Gou Ye winked and gave the Demon Lord a thumbs-up.

As they were talking, Su Mu suddenly stopped.

"Here is the place."

He said in a deep voice.

The terrain here is extremely similar to the map on the back of Fu Lu Shou. According to the map, the Tai Xu mentioned by the Demon Lord is not far ahead.

"Yes, this is it!"

The Demon Lord also spoke with some excitement.

"I remember it very clearly. This place hasn't changed at all over the years. If you walk another thirty miles, you'll see a huge rock with the words 'Tai Xu' engraved on it!"

The Demon Lord pointed ahead and said, "There is a white mist behind the boulder. My master only allowed me to linger at the edge and forbade me to go deeper into it."

Did you gain anything back then?

Dongfang Liuyun asked curiously.

"Yes! My body, made of steel and iron, is what I gained back then."

The Demon Lord said, "My body is 10% stronger than that of other demons of the same level. This is my destiny."

Su Mu and Dongfang Liuyun exchanged a glance.

That matches up!

When Dongfang Liuyun glanced at Taixu, his eyes mutated.

Clearly, the Demon Lord's mutated form is his physique!

"If the void can move, then it may not still be here."

I met Taixu later than the Demon Lord, and the place where I met Taixu was within the Great Xuan Realm—”

Dongfang Liuyun said in a low voice.

"It's all here."

Su Mu said calmly and walked forward first.

Gou Ye was completely confused, so he grabbed Dongfang Liuyun and pressed him for answers.

Left with no other choice, Dongfang Liuyun offered a brief explanation.

"No, no."

Gou Ye stroked his chin and said, "The Dao of Space is profound and mysterious, and cannot be deduced by common sense."

Just like a teleportation array, it could be here at the same time, and also a thousand miles away. "Both here and a thousand miles away simultaneously?"

Dongfang Liuyun frowned, his face full of confusion.

The Demon Lord was also full of doubt.

They truly cannot comprehend the mysteries of space.

In fact, Gou Ye only had a superficial understanding; it was just that he was a descendant of the Celestial Venerable, so he was knowledgeable and experienced.

"It's not impossible."

Su Mu said calmly, "It's like putting two pieces of paper together; two points that were originally far apart can now overlap."

Since this is the battlefield where the Seventy-Two Thieves fought against the Celestial Venerable, the space itself may have been affected by their power.

"Although I didn't understand it, it seemed very impressive."

Gou Ye said.

Both Dongfang Liuyun and the Demon Lord couldn't help but roll their eyes. This guy's flattery was far too blatant.

“Su Mu, I’m thinking, since this is the battlefield where the Celestial Venerables and the Seventy-Two Thieves fought, if the Seventy-Two Thieves really left behind some treasure, wouldn’t the victorious Celestial Venerables just take the treasure with them?”
Why would they leave things here?
Besides, the battlefield isn't a secret; surely no one has gone treasure hunting there for so many years.

Dongfang Liuyun said thoughtfully.

The closer he got to the Great Void that the Demon Lord had mentioned, the more nervous he became. He was now forcing himself to think to distract himself and relieve his tension.

"You don't understand, do you? The outer realm is a forbidden zone of destiny. Even experts at the Destiny Realm dare not come here, and experts at the Heavenly Profound Realm cannot easily cross over."

"Who, as an ordinary person, would dare to come to a place like this?"

Gou Ye said, "It was only in recent years, when the remaining forces of the Seventy-Two Thieves had almost dissipated, that we were able to pay a price to come to the outer realms."

If this had happened a thousand years ago, I wouldn't have dared to come to the Outer Realms even if you gave me a million lives.

Do you really think the Seventy-Two Thieves are vegetarians?
Even the Celestial Venerable wouldn't dare venture into the outer realms lightly, lest he fall into the trap of the Seventy-Two Thieves and be caught off guard.

Both Dongfang Liuyun and the Demon Lord showed surprise on their faces.

The more you interact with them, the more you realize how terrifying the Seventy-Two Thieves are.

Su Mu, who was already aware of this, remained quite calm.

No matter how terrifying they were, the Seventy-Two Thieves were still defeated.

This shows that no matter how strong you are, you must be cautious.

"Everyone be careful, and leave immediately if anything seems amiss."

Su Mu said in a deep voice.

Just then, a huge rock, almost ten feet tall, suddenly appeared in front of them.

The giant rock stood there, seemingly dividing heaven and earth.

Even from a distance, the group could still feel a powerful aura emanating from them, a pressure that made it difficult for them to breathe.

"right here!"

The Demon Lord said, "Back then, I couldn't even cross this boulder. My master said that if someone can cross the boulder, the farther they travel, the greater their potential and the greater the opportunities they will receive."

"I'll try!"

Gou Ye said, and his figure darted forward.

call!
Gou Yeren was already spinning rapidly in the air, and the powerful airflow was instantly driven by his spinning figure, forming a tornado.

Gou Ye was like a spinning top in the center of the tornado, moving closer to the boulder as he spun.

In the blink of an eye, the tornado was already close to the boulder.

"he--"

Dongfang Liuyun was somewhat worried.

Su Mu shook his head, indicating that there was no need to worry.

Gou Ye was, after all, a descendant of the Celestial Venerable and a seasoned veteran, so he could handle any danger he might encounter.

This is a good opportunity for him to test what makes this boulder so extraordinary.

It's too late, but it's soon.

Suddenly, a blinding golden light emanated from the boulder, and two large characters appeared on its surface.

The two characters were clearly "Tai Xu".

The moment the golden light appeared, the tornado in the sky vanished into thin air.

Gou Ye's spinning figure also slowed down as if it had encountered great resistance.

Gou Ye let out a loud shout.

Swish!Swish!Swish!
The top spun over the boulder.

On the other side of the boulder, white mist filled the air. As the spinning top passed over the boulder, the wind stirred up by Gou Ye's rotation also stirred up the white mist.

From Su Mu and the others' perspective, the white mist appeared to be very viscous. Although it was stirred up by Gou Ye's actions, it rolled around very slowly.

Gou Ye's movements also became increasingly slower.

He was now as if he were submerged in seawater, his entire body enveloped in water, which restricted his movements.

Gou Ye's expression was ferocious, as if he had used all his strength.

step.

Two steps.

Three steps.

boom!
A powerful force erupted, sending Gou Ye flying. He tumbled through the air and landed in front of Su Mu.

Even after his feet touched the ground, he continued to fall backward uncontrollably.

Su Mu raised his hand and placed it on Gou Ye's shoulder. A gentle force erupted, helping Gou Ye to counteract the force that was pushing him further back.

Whoa, whoa, whoa!
Gou Ye coughed violently, spitting out a mouthful of bloody phlegm, his expression filled with surprise and uncertainty.

"You can only take three steps too?"

Dongfang Liuyun exclaimed in surprise.

Gou Ye is a powerful expert in the Heavenly Profound Realm.

Of all the powerful figures in the outer realms today, Gou Ye is easily among the top five.

He might even rank fourth.

Su Mu, Xuandi Yang Xiuhu, and Zheng Deshan—besides these three, Dongfang Liuyun didn't know who else in the outer realms was stronger than Gou Ye.

With such strength, after crossing the Great Void Boulder, he could only take three steps?

If that's the case, then he and the Demon Lord probably won't even be able to take a single step.

"I couldn't cross the Great Void Rock back then, so why can't I now?"

The demon's face darkened. "I'm going to try it anyway!"

As it spoke, it took a step forward.

It was more cautious than Gou Ye, and simply moved forward steadily, step by step.

Su Mu did not stop it, but looked at Dongfang Liuyun and asked, "How is it different from the Taixu you have seen before?"

"I don't know. Back then, I only saw a faint white mist, and I couldn't see anything behind it at all."

Dongfang Liuyun shook his head.

"I didn't sense any living beings, but after crossing the Great Void Rock, I felt as if I was being repelled by something."

Gou Ye steadied his breathing and said, "How should I put it? It's like I've stumbled into a strange world that doesn't accept me."

Although I didn't use my full strength just now, I used about 80% of it.

I estimate I can walk a couple more steps at most.

"Five steps..."

Su Mu pondered for a moment.

Taking five steps doesn't look much different from taking three steps.

This is quite interesting. Even with Gou Ye's strength, he can only take five steps. What about me?

Su Mu pondered to himself.

His cultivation level was actually similar to Gou Ye's, but due to the difference in their cultivation techniques, Su Mu's combat strength was much stronger than Gou Ye's.

If Gou Ye can walk five steps, how many steps can he walk? Ten steps? Or fifteen steps?

"Did you receive any special opportunity?"

Dongfang Liuyun asked.

Both he and the Demon Lord obtained their opportunities in the Great Void.

This is Gou Ye's first time encountering Taixu, and perhaps he will gain some unexpected opportunities.

Su Mu also looked at Gou Ye with curiosity.

Gou Ye closed his eyes to sense it for a moment, then opened them, his expression becoming somewhat strange.

"what?"

Su Mu asked.

"I think I've grown a little taller..."

Gou Ye said slowly.

Su Mu and Dongfang Liuyun looked closely.

It seems that this is indeed the case.

Gou Ye was originally less than three feet tall, and from a distance he looked like a child.

But now, he is slowly growing taller, and in just a short while, he has grown a foot taller.

He now appears to be four feet tall. Although he is still short compared to the average person, he at least looks much better.

Besides, he is still growing.

If someone can grow to five or six feet tall, they're not much different from an average person.

but--

Growing taller is a good thing, but is it a matter of chance?

Height has nothing to do with a martial artist's strength.

"and--"

Gou Ye said somewhat awkwardly.

"Are there other opportunities?"

Su Mu and Dongfang Liuyun were surprised.

Could it be that he took three steps over the Great Void Rock, and thus obtained two opportunities?

Otherwise, why would Dongfang Liuyun and the Demon Lord only receive one opportunity, while he received two?
"I don't know if it counts as some other kind of opportunity, but it seems that my physical defects are gone, and I can have my own offspring."

Gou Ye said somewhat embarrassedly.

"this--"

Su Mu and Dongfang Liuyun had strange expressions.

Well, this is indeed an opportunity for Gou Ye.

"That's wonderful! You won't have to worry about the Gou family bloodline anymore."

Su Mu said with a smile.

"My lord, even if I have children, they will swear allegiance to you. Your talent is unparalleled, and no one can replace you!"

Gou Ye said solemnly.

boom!
While the three were talking, the Demon Lord had already crossed the Great Void Boulder.

It paused with one foot in mid-air, struggling to land, its robes billowing in the strong wind.

The moment he took a step, the Demon Lord's body was sent flying backward uncontrollably.

Before Su Mu could make a move, Gou Ye had already caught the Demon Lord in a flash.

They stumbled back a few steps before regaining their balance.

The Demon Lord was panting heavily, a look of shame on his face.

"I never imagined that after all these years of hard work, I could only take one step forward."

The Demon Lord said in a bitter tone.

"You've already done very well."

Gou Ye was in a great mood after resolving his physical ailment, and even patted the Demon Lord on the shoulder to comfort him.

Did you get any opportunities this time?

Dongfang Liuyun was more interested in this point.

The Demon Lord once had a chance here. If it can get another chance this time, it means that Dongfang Liuyun can also get another chance.

To be honest, although Dongfang Liuyun's eyes looked somewhat frightening, they brought him many benefits.

It's hard to say how much his achievements today are related to those eyes.

However, he was certain that without those eyes, even if he had achieved what he has today, it would have taken him much longer.

The opportunities brought by Taixu are extraordinary.

The Demon Lord shook his head. "I didn't sense any change."

So, does that mean we only get one chance?

Dongfang Liuyun said with some disappointment that he was still young when he met Taixu back then. If it were now, he might have been able to go further and have more opportunities.

"No matter what, we're already here, so there's no harm in giving it a try."

Su Mu looked around and did not find any danger here for the time being.

“The Demon Lord’s situation is different from yours. He didn’t get a chance, but that doesn’t mean you can’t.”

Su Mu continued, "You go and give it a try, I'll back you up."

Dongfang Liuyun nodded, took a deep breath, channeled his inner strength, and slowly walked forward.

Gou Ye and the Demon Lord both stared wide-eyed as Dongfang Liuyun approached the Great Void Stone step by step, and then he stepped across it.

step!
Two steps!

Dongfang Liuyun actually took two steps.

He took a difficult third step, one foot hovering in the air, as if he couldn't put it down no matter how hard he tried.

"come on!"

Gou Ye and the Demon Lord shouted at the same time.

Before they could finish speaking, Dongfang Liuyun sighed and flew backward.

Ding Ding Deng!
He retreated until he was next to Su Mu and the others before regaining his footing. However, he looked much more dignified than Gou Ye and the Demon Lord, and did not end up in such a disheveled state.

"No, I'm still no match for Gou Ye."

Dongfang Liuyun sighed and said.

"You want to compare yourself to me? You're just a Void Returning Realm cultivator, while I'm a dignified Heavenly Profound Realm cultivator, okay?"

Gou Ye couldn't help but roll his eyes and said irritably, "My face isn't face? You're almost as important as me!"

"My master said that the further you go, the greater your potential..."

"The Demon Lord said weakly."

Gou Ye glared at it fiercely, "You have to say it!"
My talent and potential are no match for this kid. The prodigy of my Gou family can definitely leave him far behind!
You're just a piece of trash who can only take one step, what do you know!

Gou Ye looked at Su Mu, and the Demon Lord and Dongfang Liuyun also looked at Su Mu at the same time.

They were all eager to see how far Su Mu could go.

"I think you can walk at least fifteen steps!"

Gou Ye said.

I guess it's twenty steps.

The Demon Lord had even more confidence in Su Mu.

Dongfang Liuyun was somewhat conservative, saying, "At least ten steps."

Su Mu stroked his chin and slowly said, "I'm wondering, if the strange phenomena here are related to this Void Stone, what would happen if I took the stone away?"

Gou Ye, Dongfang Liuyun, and the Demon Lord: "..."

Is that the difference?

We were still trying to pass the level, and Su Mu just flipped the table? (End of Chapter)
