The First Marquis of Daxuan

Ji Yu'an's face was filled with shock.

Among the figures soaring into the air, he recognized one of them as the seventh leader of the Desert Bandits.

He had met the seventh leader once before, so he would never mistake him for someone else.

With the seventh leader by his side, the identities of the others became immediately clear.

Desert pirates!

They actually dared to attack Spring Breeze City so blatantly!
The Desert Bandits of the Vast Sea have always stayed hidden in the Vast Sea Desert and have never dared to come out easily, so the major powers of the Taixu Sacred Realm have been too lazy to wipe them out.

But if they dare to leave the vast desert and launch a brazen attack on the city, then there's a big problem.

Spring Breeze City is a city under the rule of the Azure Sky Sect. Attacking Spring Breeze City is no different from slapping the Azure Sky Sect in the face.
Whether they succeed or not, they will thoroughly enrage the Azure Sky Sect.

Afterwards, the Azure Sky Sect will absolutely not allow the Desert Bandits of the Vast Sea to exist again.

Although the Desert Bandits of the Vast Sea have some strength, they are absolutely no match for the Azure Sky Sect.

"Sea bandits?"

Su Mu looked in the direction of the city gate and wondered to himself, "Could these sand bandits be after the Medicine Gang?"
Or rather, were they there because of him?
He killed the leader of a sand bandit group, so all the sand bandits came out and attacked Spring Breeze City.
How can a group of robbers who steal and plunder be so loyal?

Would they be willing to sacrifice everyone's lives for revenge?

However, Su Mu immediately dismissed the idea.

Regardless of whether the desert bandits are truly so loyal, even if they are, they have no way of tracing him back to him.

He killed people swiftly and decisively, making it impossible for the sand bandits to pinpoint him so easily.

Therefore, the attack on Spring Breeze City by the Desert Bandits must have had another purpose.

Could it be that the goods being transported by the medicine gang are so attractive?

Su Mu's gaze fell on Ji Yu'an, his expression clearly showing his doubt.

Ji Yu'an was an extremely astute person, and she immediately understood Su Mu's suspicions.

“Brother Xu, the goods we are escorting for Doctor Liu this time are indeed very valuable, but not to this extent.”

Ji Yu'an said with a wry smile, "These things are not worth the risk of total annihilation for the Han Hai Sand Bandits to attack Chunfeng City."

"What their purpose is is not important; what is important is whether Spring Breeze City can stop them."

Su Mu's face showed a thoughtful expression, and he said in a deep voice.

The Desert Bandits are an extremely ruthless group of robbers. Once they attack Spring Breeze City, no one in the city can be said to be safe and sound.

Su Mu now has to make a decision.

First, I need to help Chunfeng City fend off the Hanhai Sand Bandits, and then I need to find a way to see Liu Yue.

Another option is to take advantage of the chaos to go to Liu's residence, retrieve the Myriad Colors Ancient Lotus, and then frame the whole thing on the bandits of the Vast Sea, without anyone knowing.

Of course, the latter option is contingent on the desert bandits being able to break into Spring Breeze City.

If they are easily defeated by the power of Spring Breeze City, then Su Mu's attempt to rob the Liu family mansion would be no different from walking into a trap.

That's why Su Mu asked Ji Yu'an whether Spring Breeze City could actually stop the desert bandits.

"I think so."

Ji Yu'an's tone also sounded somewhat insecure.

"Elder Qiu of the Azure Sky Sect is stationed in Spring Breeze City. He is a powerful expert at the Heavenly Fate Realm."

In addition, there are three or five Heavenly Fate Realm cultivators in the city. Although their numbers are fewer than the eighteen leaders of the Vast Sea Sand Bandits, the eighteen leaders of the Vast Sea Sand Bandits are all paper-thin Heavenly Fate Realm cultivators, while Elder Qiu is a genuine Heavenly Fate Realm cultivator, capable of taking on two or even three opponents without any problem.

Before Ji Yu'an finished speaking, a powerful aura soared into the sky from Spring Breeze City. Immediately afterward, a middle-aged man who looked no more than thirty-four years old flew into the sky and collided with the leaders of the sand bandits who were trying to break into the city.

This person was none other than Qiu Beisong, the guardian of Spring Breeze City and an elder of the Azure Sky Sect.

Ji Yu'an was right; Qiu Beisong's strength was indeed far superior to that of the leader of the Han Hai Sand Bandits.

In one collision, he faced three opponents alone, refusing to retreat an inch.

The three leaders of the desert bandits retreated several feet.

This is the difference between a true Heavenly Fate Realm and a paper-thin Heavenly Fate Realm.

A true Heavenly Fate Realm cultivator is at least comparable to two or three paper-thin Heavenly Fate Realm cultivators.

None of the eighteen leaders of the Desert Bandits could match Qiu Beisong in a one-on-one fight.

But Qiu Beisong was only one person, while the other side had a total of seventeen.

"Hmm? Of the eighteen leaders of the Desert Bandits, why did only seventeen come? Where did the other one go?"
Could he be hiding in the shadows, preparing to ambush Elder Qiu?

Ji Yu'an's voice rang in Su Mu's ears.

Ji Yu'an had forgotten what had happened. He was unaware that a bandit leader had died right before his eyes, at the hands of the man standing before him.

"maybe."

Su Mu replied dismissively.

He is observing Nachu Beisong.

As soon as Qiu Beisong made his move, Su Mu realized that his caution was justified.

In a one-on-one fight, he might not be a match for Qiu Beisong.

If he had rashly attacked Liu Yue in Spring Breeze City and accidentally brought out Qiu Beisong, the consequences could have been quite troublesome.

While a Heavenly Fate Realm expert, a rare find in the outer realms, is not uncommon in the Taixu Sacred Realm, he is certainly not an extinct figure.

The fact that such a powerful expert at the Heavenly Fate Realm is stationed in a small city like Spring Breeze shows just how profound the foundation of the Azure Sky Sect truly is.

If Su Mu hadn't been cautious enough after arriving in the Taixu Sacred Realm, he would probably already be under the watchful eye of the Cangqiong Sect.

"When faced with such a behemoth, no amount of caution is too much."

Su Mu thought to himself, deciding to observe the situation and not rush to make a move.

“Brother Xu, this concerns the survival of Spring Breeze City, and I cannot stand idly by. But you are not from Spring Breeze City, so you don’t need to take the risk.”

As Ji Yu'an spoke, she led her men toward the city gate.

Just as Ji Yu'an was taking action, Su Mu also saw powerful auras rising into the sky from Spring Breeze City from time to time.

A moment later, four powerful beings at the Heavenly Fate Realm had joined the battle.

Including Qiu Beisong, Spring Breeze City now has five Heavenly Fate Realm experts, who are engaged in a fierce battle with the eighteen leaders of the Vast Sea Sand Bandits in the sky above the city.

Countless desert bandits are launching a frenzied attack on the city.

Ji Yu'an and his group, along with the garrison of Chunfeng City, were fighting hard on the city walls, and the two sides were locked in a stalemate for a time.

Su Mu did not make a move, but instead scanned the entire scene, observing the changing situation.

After reviewing Ji Yu'an's memories, Su Mu was no stranger to the people of Spring Breeze City.

He discovered that Liu Yue was not among the powerful beings at the Heavenly Fate Realm who had made the move.

Logically speaking, Liu Yue is also at the Heavenly Fate Realm, although he is just a paper-thin Heavenly Fate Realm cultivator and not good at fighting, but the Heavenly Fate Realm is still the Heavenly Fate Realm.

Given that Spring Breeze City currently has a disadvantage in the number of Fate Realm cultivators, having one more Fate Realm cultivator would alleviate some of the pressure on Spring Breeze City.

I don't know why Liu Yue hasn't made a move yet.

According to Su Mu's understanding, among the Heavenly Fate Realm experts in Spring Breeze City, only Liu Yue has not yet made a move.

Su Mu looked around.

There are many martial artists in Spring Breeze City as enthusiastic as Ji Yu'an, and almost all the well-known Heavenly Profound Realm experts have already taken action to resist the Desert Bandits.

Although Su Mu had seen these people in Ji Yu'an's memories, this was the first time he had seen them with his own eyes.

The attack on Spring Breeze City by the Desert Bandits gave him an opportunity to observe the martial artists of the Void Saint Realm.

If it weren't for this opportunity, it would have been almost impossible for him to see so many martial artists make a move at the same time.

"Martial artists in the Taixu Sacred Realm are far stronger than those in the outer regions in terms of cultivation, but perhaps because their power is too abundant, they are not as good as those in the outer regions in terms of the application of power."

Su Mu thought to himself.

When Su Mu fought against Xu Xuanji, the Pavilion Master of the Cangqiong Sect, and Zheng Deshan, he had already vaguely discovered this characteristic of the Taixu Sacred Realm.

Because their cultivation level is high enough and their strength is strong enough, they don't need to conserve their energy at all.

This led them to use their strength almost extravagantly.

Of course, this is in relation to the outer realms.

The spiritual energy of the outer realms is scarce, so every bit of power must be used wisely.

This cannot be considered a weakness of the Taixu Sacred Realm.

After all, their cultivation level is high enough, so even if they waste some, it doesn't matter.

This is similar to someone who only has 10,000 spirit stones in their possession; they have to carefully calculate how much to spend each spirit stone.

But for someone with a net worth of 10 billion spirit stones, spending 100 spirit stones is not a big deal.

This is hardly a waste.

The vastly different environments of the Taixu Sacred Realm and the outer realms have shaped the distinct characteristics of their warriors.

Given different levels of cultivation, it's hard to say which is superior or inferior.

However, given the same level of cultivation, martial artists from other regions would definitely have an advantage.

"But no matter how exquisitely a martial artist from another region uses power, a Void Returning Realm cultivator cannot possibly defeat a Heavenly Profound Realm cultivator."

Su Mu thought to himself.

Nowadays in the outer realms, under normal circumstances, martial artists can only cultivate to the Integration Realm at most. They have to try every possible method to break through to the Returning Void Realm.

As for breaking through to the Heavenly Profound Realm, that's practically impossible.

So far, there have only been two exceptions: Su Mu and Emperor Xuan, Yang Xiuhu.

In the Taixu Sacred Realm, anyone with decent aptitude has a great chance of breaking through to the Tianxuan Realm.

"Jiang Yizheng is indeed quite cautious."

Su Mu looked around but couldn't find Jiang Yizheng, the chief weapon-making master of the Treasure Pavilion.

According to Ji Yu'an's understanding of Jiang Yizheng, Jiang Yizheng is cautious to the point of being timid.

He wouldn't do anything that carried even the slightest risk.

Now that most of the Heavenly Profound Realm experts in Spring Breeze City have already taken action to resist the Desert Bandits, Jiang Yizheng, as a Heavenly Profound Realm expert, actually has the nerve not to take action.

Spring Breeze City is his home.

Once the desert bandits invade the city, given their modus operandi, they will inevitably burn, kill, and plunder.

At that time, Jiang Yizheng will also be in danger.

The best choice now is to work together with everyone to protect Spring Breeze City.

Alternatively, one could leave Spring Breeze City before it falls.

Su Mu was taken aback.

"No way."

He muttered to himself.

Qiu Beisong and the others are still putting up a fight. Although they have fallen into a disadvantageous position, they are far from being completely defeated.

Jiang Yizheng wouldn't run away now, would he?

but--

Su Mu felt that a cautious to the point of being timid was capable of doing anything.

With a slight thought, he flickered and vanished into thin air.

…………

People were moving quickly everywhere in Spring Breeze City.

Some rushed towards the city walls to defend against the sand bandits.

Some people run to places they believe are safe to hide.

Su Mu's appearance at the Treasure Pavilion went unnoticed by anyone.

The city is in such a state of chaos that no one will notice him.

"It really is--"

Su Mu stood quietly on the roof of the Treasure Pavilion, his gaze falling on the backyard, and he couldn't help but feel speechless.

He saw that Jiang Yizheng had changed into a worker's uniform, which was neat and clean, a stark contrast to his previous sloppy appearance. He was now mingling with the other workers as they made their way out.

This guy is actually planning to run away.

Su Mu had met many martial arts experts, some despicable, some heroic, but he had never seen anyone as cautious as Jiang Yizheng before.

It's a mystery how Jiang Yizheng, with his cautious nature, cultivated himself to this level.

But thinking about it, perhaps it is precisely because of his cautious nature that he has been able to live to this day.

After all, the path of martial arts cultivation is not always smooth sailing; too many people have died on this path.

"I was just thinking about how to find an opportunity, but now this is a good one."

Su Mu watched Jiang Yizheng's furtive figure disappear into the distance, a thoughtful expression creeping onto his face.

Jiang Yizheng appears to be honest and kind, but in reality, he is a complete swindler.

He has countless good qualities.

if--

As Su Mu pondered this, he quietly followed.

Liu Yue is, after all, at the Heavenly Fate Realm, and not so easy to deal with, but Jiang Yizheng is different.

Before "borrowing" the Wan Cai Gu Lian, making a small fortune now would be a good idea.

…………

The battle in the skies above Spring Breeze City is becoming increasingly fierce.

A powerful being at the Heavenly Mandate Realm fought so fiercely that the sky and earth seemed to darken.

The walls of Spring Breeze City have also been breached in several sections by the sand bandits.

Fortunately, the people of Spring Breeze City were united and managed to temporarily keep the surging tide of sand bandits outside the city.

However, the number of sand bandits was simply too great, and the situation in Spring Breeze City remained precarious.

Jiang Yizheng quietly arrived at a private residence in the south of the city, then jumped directly into a well and disappeared.

Su Mu followed him all the way, and after looking around and making sure no one was there, he jumped into the well without hesitation.

The moment he jumped, he had already activated the power of the Eight-Nine Mysterious Technique, raising his body's defenses to the limit.

Even if there are traps or mechanisms in the well, with his physique, he should be able to withstand them.

Amidst the soft sound of water, Su Mu had already disappeared to the bottom.

At the bottom of the well, there was a dark opening, leading to who knows where.

"Jiang Yizheng truly lives up to his reputation for caution; he even left himself a secret passage."

Su Mu thought to himself, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

A powerful expert at the Heavenly Profound Realm actually used this method of digging tunnels to escape from Spring Breeze City. Jiang Yizheng really has no shame when it comes to safety.

Who would have thought that a powerful expert at the Heavenly Profound Realm would escape in this way?
Su Mu estimated that even the desert pirates wouldn't expect a Heavenly Fate Realm expert to be so shameless, and naturally wouldn't take precautions against this method of escape.

In a sense, Jiang Yizheng's method of escape was indeed quite safe.

Su Mu controlled his strength, trying not to make any sound of water, so as not to be noticed by Jiang Yizheng.

He darted into the dark passage like a fish.

Su Mu's cultivation has reached the Heavenly Profound Realm, so he won't have any problems even if he doesn't breathe for a short period of time.

Following the underwater tunnel, Su Mu felt he had swum for three or four miles before finally emerging from a river.

Looking back, Spring Breeze City was already three or four miles away.

The sounds of battle cries could be faintly heard, but the area remained completely silent.

Just then. Suddenly.

The sound of wind breaking abruptly arose.

Swish!Swish!Swish!
Countless sword energies instantly enveloped an area within a hundred feet.

When Su Mu raised his head, the sword energy was already falling towards him.

Jiang Yizheng had actually kept a backup plan.

If someone is following him, it will trigger the trap he has set here.

Although Jiang Yizheng did not understand formations, he had an ancient formation plate.

If it were an ordinary martial artist, even one at the Heavenly Profound Realm, being suddenly attacked like this would result in serious injury, if not death.

but.

Su Mu was no ordinary martial artist.

He is not only a Heavenly Profound Realm cultivator, but also an array master.

In his eyes, this array, set up with array plates, was full of flaws.

He emerged from the water with a leisurely stroll, just barely avoiding the sword energy.

Then he took two steps to the left, three steps to the right, and after a few steps, he had already walked out of the formation, and even picked up a piece of the formation plate.

An uncontrolled, "dead" formation poses absolutely no threat to a formation cultivator.

Now that he had left Spring Breeze City and there was no one else around, Su Mu decided to stop holding back.

A golden glint flashed in his eyes.

With his extraordinary skill of keen observation, the traces left by Jiang Yizheng were clearly reflected in his eyes.

With a sway of his body, Su Mu had already given full strength to chase after them.

Jiang Yi was walking quickly through the mountains and forests, glancing around warily from time to time.

He lived and grew up in Spring Breeze City, and the number of times he left Spring Breeze City in his entire life could be counted on one hand.

In the past, whenever he left Spring Breeze City, he was always accompanied by many people.

Leaving the city alone like this is something I've never done before.

"I won't go far. I'll just hide in my safe house for a few months. Once the Azure Sky Sect has wiped out the Desert Bandits, I'll go back and help rebuild Spring Breeze City. I can also improve my reputation with them."

Jiang Yizheng thought to himself, "As for where I was when Spring Breeze City was attacked, unfortunately, I was out looking for materials to forge weapons."

Fighting the desert bandits to the death? Are you crazy?

He wouldn't do something so thankless and exhausting.

He had been on guard against this happening for many years.

They had prepared this escape route well in advance, and even built a hidden safe house in the mountains outside Spring Breeze City.

It was just a precaution at the time; who would have thought it would actually come in handy one day?

Jiang Yizheng was secretly pleased with himself.

Therefore, it is said that those who do not plan for the future will have trouble in the present.

"You can fight to the death, I just need to keep quiet and make a fortune."

Jiang Yizheng thought smugly that his safe house was just ahead.

He didn't use any martial arts techniques in this safe house; he used only secular mechanical arts, so there would be absolutely no fluctuation of power.

Even if other martial artists pass by, they will never discover his safe house.

Jiang Yizheng was secretly pleased with his methods.

suddenly.

A sense of foreboding suddenly arose in his heart.

At the same time, a whooshing sound came from behind.

Jiang Yizheng's expression changed, and he instinctively turned his head.

But before he could turn his head, he felt a pain in the back of his head, followed by everything going black.

"I--"

Before Jiang Yizheng could even finish a thought, he collapsed to the ground with a thud.

Su Mu appeared behind Jiang Yizheng and delivered another blow from behind his head.

At this rate, Jiang Yizheng definitely won't wake up for at least half a day.

"For a powerful expert at the Heavenly Profound Realm, their adaptability is truly—"

Su Mu's face showed a look of both amusement and exasperation.

He had just prepared a series of backup plans, but he didn't get to use any of them.

With just one move, Jiang Yizheng was dealt with.

This is partly due to his superior strength compared to Jiang Yizheng, but more importantly, it's because Jiang Yizheng's adaptability was too poor.

Jiang Yizheng was cautious his whole life, and the number of times he fought with others could be counted on one hand.

If a seasoned martial artist is ambushed, they don't even need to think; they instinctively know how to react.

Jiang Yizheng lacked this instinct, so he was knocked unconscious immediately by Su Mu's sneak attack.

Su Mu flipped Jiang Yizheng over with his toes, then reached out and grabbed the pendant around Jiang Yizheng's neck.

With a thought, he instantly broke the seal on the pendant completely.

Then Su Mu saw a space about ten feet square.

The space was packed full.

With just a quick glance, Su Mu spotted no fewer than ten rare and precious natural treasures that he considered extremely rare.

Other weapons, elixirs, and manuals of martial arts techniques were on display in abundance.

This includes all fifteen Heavenly Fate-level Xuan Weapons that Su Mu previously sold to the Treasure Pavilion.

Su Mu was overjoyed.

His risky move was worthwhile; Jiang Yizheng really gave him a pleasant surprise.

He knew that Jiang Yizheng was wealthy, but he never expected that Jiang Yizheng's wealth would be this great.

"These things, in terms of value, are worth at least several billion high-grade spirit stones!"

Su Mu roughly estimated the value of the contents of the pendant.

This estimate is based on Ji Yu'an's experience and may not be very accurate, but the order of magnitude is definitely correct.

Ji Yu'an was, after all, the leader of the Medicine Gang, so she had some insight.

He bought fifteen Heavenly Fate-level Mystic Weapons and only earned six million high-grade spirit stones.

But now, he directly obtained something worth billions of high-grade spirit stones from Jiang Yizheng.

"A horse won't get fat without night grass."

Su Mu sighed with delight.

"Jiang Yizheng, Jiang Yizheng, I'm just venting my anger for those who were cheated by you. If you have to blame someone, blame yourself for being too rich."

Su Mu glanced at Jiang Yizheng but did not kill him.

He transferred the contents of the pendant into his own storage weapon, and then returned the pendant to Jiang Yizheng.

He felt it was best to leave this to Jiang Yizheng, in case Jiang Yizheng filled it up again someday.
"I wonder if the desert bandits have breached Spring Breeze City yet."

Su Mu looked back towards the direction of Spring Breeze City, "Hopefully I can still make it to the Liu residence."

With a swift movement, Su Mu silently made his way towards Spring Breeze City.

…………

In Spring Breeze City, the Desert Bandits have already invaded the city.

They kill anyone they see and rob anything of value they find.

The city was thrown into chaos.

The Heavenly Fate Realm experts in the sky were still locked in a stalemate, but Qiu Beisong and his group had fallen into a complete disadvantage, being driven back by the seventeen leaders of the Vast Sea Sand Bandits.

“Qiu Beisong, if you leave now, we will not stop you. But if you block our way again, don’t blame us.”

"The leader of the desert pirates shouted coldly."

"Spring Breeze City is the territory of my Azure Sky Sect. Have you considered the consequences of attacking Spring Breeze City?"

Qiu Beisong's face turned red with anger, and he shouted angrily.

Although Spring Breeze City is just a small city, it is, after all, the territory of their Azure Sky Sect.

In all these years, no one has ever dared to provoke the Azure Sky Sect like this!

"Don't try to scare us with the Azure Sky Sect. Since we dared to come, we are not afraid of your Azure Sky Sect."

The leader of the Desert Bandits laughed loudly, "However, I'm giving the Azure Sky Sect some face, so I'm allowing your Azure Sky Sect disciples to leave."

"This Spring Breeze City, I, the Desert Bandits of the Vast Sea, shall take it!"

There was a loud bang.

Several leaders of the desert bandits attacked simultaneously, forcing Qiu Beisong to retreat hundreds of feet.

As for the other few powerful beings at the Heavenly Fate Realm, they were already on the verge of collapse.

If the two leaders of the Han Hai Sand Bandits hadn't broken away and stormed into the city, they would probably have been completely defeated.

Even so, all the powerful beings at the Heavenly Fate Realm had expressions of anxiety and anger on their faces.

Their relatives and friends are still in Spring Breeze City. Now that sand bandits of the Heavenly Fate Realm have invaded the city, their relatives and friends are in danger.

How could they not be anxious?
Just as they were getting anxious, a furious shout suddenly came from the city.

When the powerful figures heard the sound and looked over, joy appeared on their faces.

It turned out that the two bandit leaders who stormed into the city were heading straight for the Liu residence.

The angry shout came none other than from the legendary healer, Liu Yue.

The only Heavenly Fate Realm expert who hasn't made a move in Spring Breeze City is Liu Yue.

Now, by sheer coincidence, these two leaders of the sand bandits have taken the initiative to attack Liu's residence, forcing Liu Yue to take action.

With Liu Yue joining as a vital force, Chunfeng City might still have hope!
The powerful warriors were invigorated, and a surge of power rose within them once more, leading them to engage in a fierce battle with the leaders of the sand bandits.

Little did they know, these sand bandits were actually after Liu Yue.

In a sense, Chunfeng City was implicated because of Liu Yue.

…………

When Su Mu rushed back to Chunfeng City, he saw the two leaders of the sand bandits storm into Liu's mansion. Then he saw Liu Yue fight his way out and engage the two leaders in battle.

"good chance!"

Su Mu's eyes lit up.

He slightly shifted his body to the side, dodging a sneak attack from a sand bandit, and with a casual move, smashed the sand bandit's head.

A breach has appeared in the city wall of Spring Breeze City, and sand bandits are pouring into the city in an endless stream.

The warriors of Spring Breeze City engaged in street battles with the sand bandits.

Su Mu made his way into the city, casually killing any sand bandits he encountered.

For him, it was just a casual thing to do, but for the martial artists of Spring Breeze City, it greatly reduced the pressure.

"Brother Xu, well done!"

Ji Yu'an saw Su Mu's move from afar and couldn't help but shout loudly.

Although the warriors of Spring Breeze City did not recognize Su Mu, upon hearing Ji Yu'an's voice, they all knew that this powerful figure's surname was Xu.

"Brother Ji, let's drink and make merry after we've wiped out all the sand bandits."

Su Mu responded and continued forward.

He killed his way through.

Wherever he went, almost no sand bandit could stop him.

To conceal his true strength, Su Mu deliberately used several more moves before killing a single sand bandit.

Even so, he quickly stormed into the Liu residence.

With the city engulfed in chaos, it's not surprising that Su Mu appeared at Liu's residence.

In fact, many martial artists were rescuing the Liu family.

After all, protecting Spring Breeze City also allows them to do a favor for the divine physician Liu Yue, so why not?

Su Mu acted swiftly, killing the sand bandits while simultaneously conducting a thorough search of the Liu residence.

Now that Liu Yue has been led further and further away by the two leaders of the sand bandits, no one in the Liu mansion can detect Su Mu's actions.

Su Mu searched the entire Liu mansion in less than the time it takes for an incense stick to burn.

Although he found many good things, Su Mu did not find the whereabouts of the Myriad-Colored Ancient Lotus.

He couldn't help but look up at Liu Yue, who was entangled with the leader of the sand bandits.

"It would be strange if Liu Yue didn't carry something so precious with him."

I underestimated things.

Su Mu sighed inwardly, "It seems that either Liu Yue will hand over the Myriad Colors Ancient Lotus himself, or I'll have to rob Liu Yue just like I robbed Jiang Yizheng."

However, Liu Yue is different from Jiang Yizheng. Jiang Yizheng is only at the Heavenly Profound Realm, while Liu Yue is at least at the Heavenly Fate Realm.

Even if someone at the Heavenly Fate Realm is made of paper, I might not be able to knock them out silently.

If these desert bandits can severely injure Liu Yue, wouldn't I have a chance to reap the benefits?

Although Su Mu thought this way, he couldn't help but frown as he watched the battle in the air.

The battle in the sky split into several groups.

One wave was between Qiu Beisong, an elder of the Azure Sky Sect, and the leaders of three bandits from the Vast Sea, who were evenly matched.

Another group consisted of other Heavenly Fate Realm experts from Spring Breeze City and the leaders of the remaining twelve Desert Bandits. The leaders of the Desert Bandits clearly had the upper hand.

The final battle was between the two leaders of the Desert Bandits and the divine healer Liu Yue.

Su Mu only glanced at it a few times before he noticed the problem.

In the other two waves of battle, although the attacks of the Desert Bandits were fierce, they were clearly holding back, and it seemed that they did not want to force the Heavenly Fate Realm experts of Spring Breeze City to fight desperately.

But the two leaders who fought against the divine doctor Liu Yue were different. They were ruthless in every move, and every move was aimed at taking Liu Yue's life.

They simply wanted to kill the legendary doctor Liu Yue!
"They're after Liu Yue!"

Su Mu narrowed his eyes, a glint of light flashing in his pupils, and thought to himself.

The desert bandits launched a full-scale attack on Spring Breeze City, all in an attempt to kill the divine physician Liu Yue?

This was truly unexpected for Su Mu.

Although the legendary doctor Liu Yue is famous, he is really not a great figure.

Why would the desert bandits go to such lengths to kill him?
"Could it be that they also know that the Myriad-Colored Ancient Lotus is in Liu Yue's hands?"

A thought flashed through Su Mu's mind.

The life of the divine physician Liu Yue is not worth such a great deal of trouble from the desert bandits, but if the Myriad Colored Ancient Lotus is added to the mix, then things are hard to say.

The Myriad Colored Ancient Lotus was a priceless treasure in the hands of the Seventy-Two Thieves.

"Regardless of whether it is true or not, we cannot let Liu Yue die at the hands of the desert bandits."

A dangerous glint flashed in Su Mu's eyes as he thought to himself.

Perhaps, he has to make his move. (End of Chapter)
