The First Marquis of Daxuan

"What do you want? If I lose, I will definitely find a way to get it for you."

"I am a madman," said Zhu Feng with a serious expression.

He was so serious that Su Mu felt a pang of pity.

He finally understood why the madman Zhu Feng had survived until now.

When a person is wholeheartedly devoted to something, they exude a special kind of charisma.

This kind of charm makes people reluctant to destroy it.

Just like the madman Zhu Feng now, as long as he doesn't cross his bottom line, Su Mu doesn't want to kill him.

This cruel world needs idealists like Zhu Feng; without the madman Zhu Feng, the world would be far too boring.

Zhu Feng's former rivals probably thought the same thing.

Whether or not Zhu Feng is killed is one thing, but whether or not there is a wager is another.

"I see you have nothing of value, so asking you to produce a hundred or two thousand high-grade spirit stones would be putting you in a difficult position..."

Su Mu pondered for a moment before speaking.

“I don’t have it now, but I can earn it. I can work as a bodyguard or teach boxing.”

"Madman Zhu Feng said quickly."

He doesn't look like a madman at all now.
Instead, he seems like a... simp?
A powerful being at the Heavenly Fate Realm would become a bodyguard and teach martial arts; such a thing could probably only be conceived by a pure-hearted person like the Madman Zhu Feng.

Otherwise, with his strength, getting spirit stones would be incredibly easy.

The simplest way is that as long as he's willing to be someone's backer, there are plenty of people from small sects who would be willing to give him lots and lots of spirit stones.

However, if that were the case, Zhu Feng wouldn't be Zhu Feng anymore.

Once he gets involved in interests, he probably won't be able to remain so pure anymore.

"There is no need for spiritual stones."

Su Mu's face showed a thoughtful expression, and he slowly said, "If you lose, then write down all the martial arts techniques you have ever mastered and give them to me."

"it is good."

Zhu Feng spoke without hesitation.

His straightforwardness surprised Su Mu.

When it comes to martial arts techniques that one cultivates, even Su Mu has to hesitate.

Zhu Feng agreed without hesitation. Was he really not afraid that someone else would learn his martial arts and surpass him?

But upon further reflection, Su Mu understood.

Zhu Feng is someone who always loses more often than he wins when he challenges others; he simply doesn't care about winning or losing.

He pursues martial arts without end, and for him, whether others surpass him or not is completely unimportant.

That's why he didn't care whether his martial arts skills would be leaked.

It's possible that in the mind of someone like Zhu Feng, all martial arts in the world should be made public and allowed to be practiced by everyone.

Su Mu couldn't help but show a look of admiration on his face.

He had never met anyone like Zhu Feng before.

"You take action."

Su Mu said slowly.

"Where are your weapons?"

Zhu Feng did not make a move immediately, but looked at Su Mu and asked.

"I don't need weapons; my body is the weapon."

Su Mu smiled faintly and said.

"Since you don't use weapons, then I won't either."

Zhu Feng took the broadsword off his back and tossed it aside.

He rubbed his fists together, bowed to Su Mu, and then shouted loudly before pouncing on him like a hungry tiger.

Du Fangkun shook his head as he watched.

Zhu Feng's strength is not bad, but he does not follow the path of physical immortality.

The Wu family of Xiangzhou specializes in the martial arts of achieving physical sainthood.

Back in the day, even the Martial Ancestor went to Xiangzhou to ask the Wu family for advice on body-refining techniques.

Zhu Feng's head-on confrontation with the Wu family of Xiangzhou is just asking for trouble.

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

Zhu Feng had already pounced on Su Mu and was about to throw a punch.

Once the battle begins, Zhu Feng's madman-like nature erupts.

He threw himself into the battle with such abandon that he lost all interest in anything else.

Su Mu raised his hand and gently grasped Zhu Feng's fist.

Before he could exert any force, Zhu Feng had already launched a flying kick.

Su Mu smiled slightly, moved his feet, and used his hands to block the attacks like two doors.

Zhu Feng's fists and feet moved like the wind, and within a few moves, he had already changed several different boxing styles.

It must be said that although Zhu Feng is not a physical martial artist, his body is quite well-trained, and his physique is comparable to that of a true physical martial artist.

Moreover, he was highly skilled in martial arts, with a wide variety of moves, and it was unknown how many martial arts techniques he had learned.

Su Mu himself had learned from many sources. Back then, in order to comprehend the strange phenomena, he had cultivated all eight realms of the Primordial Realm.

Later, in order to comprehend the Nine Peaks Sword Domain, he also practiced thousands of sword techniques.

In terms of the sheer number of martial arts skills he has learned, if Su Mu claims to be second, then probably no one in the world would dare to claim to be first.

Of all the martial artists Su Mu had encountered in his life, none could compare to him in terms of the sheer number of martial arts skills they had learned.

Now, he discovered that Zhu Feng's knowledge was so diverse that it was no less than his own.

This aroused Su Mu's curiosity, making him even less willing to defeat Zhu Feng.

He wanted to see just how many martial arts techniques Zhu Feng had learned.

The whistling wind echoed through the courtyard.

Su Mu and Zhu Feng both restrained their power; otherwise, this small courtyard would have been razed to the ground long ago.

Even so, the strong wind echoed through the courtyard, making Du Fangkun's face sting.

He could see clearly that Su Mu was only defending and not attacking.

Zhu Feng, on the other hand, has a wide variety of attacks, sometimes sweeping and powerful, sometimes delicate and precise.

No matter how he changed his moves, he could never even touch the hem of Su Mu's clothes.

Anyone could see that Su Mu's strength far surpassed Zhu Feng's, and Zhu Feng had absolutely no chance of winning.

If it were anyone else, they would have already surrendered.

Wu Jiutong did give him a way out.

But Zhu Feng didn't care about any of that. He seemed oblivious to the difference in skill between the two sides and continued his attacks methodically.

If one method doesn't work, then try another.

Du Fangkun, watching from the side, was also greatly amazed.

When Zhu Feng sparred with him before, he didn't use so many techniques.

Upon seeing this, he couldn't help but feel admiration.

This Zhu Feng is really a freak.

Just how many martial arts techniques has he mastered?

The key point is that he actually mastered it.

No wonder this guy is called a madman.

Judging from his posture, it seems he's going to learn all the martial arts in the world.

Anyone who has such thoughts is either a madman or a fanatic.
However, Wu Jiutong, who was completely unknown, actually possessed such abilities.

Du Fangkun knew beforehand that Su Mu was a powerful expert at the Heavenly Fate Realm, but he never expected that Su Mu could fight Zhu Feng to this extent.

As fellow experts at the Heavenly Fate Realm, Zhu Feng possesses an extremely rich combat experience, and he is also proficient in multiple martial arts. Given equal cultivation levels, Zhu Feng would likely have the upper hand.

The current situation is that Zhu Feng, facing Wu Jiutong, is not only not in a dominant position, but is completely at a disadvantage.

It's like a child playing with an adult.

No matter how hard a child tries, they can never catch up with an adult.

"The Wu family of Xiangzhou has actually produced such a powerful figure?"

Du Fangkun thought to himself, increasingly regarding Su Mu as his potential client.

Even if such a powerful martial artist follows the path of physical immortality and doesn't need weapons, he would still need a piece of armor, right?
Even if armor isn't needed, do we still need a flying boat for transportation?
Tianyi Pavilion has countless treasures; surely one of them will suit him.

…………

While Du Fangkun was making business plans in his mind.

The madman Zhu Feng's forehead was covered with large beads of sweat.

The constant attacks, coupled with the need to control his strength to avoid damaging the buildings in the courtyard, took a heavy toll on him.

If he lost control, he punched the courtyard wall, blasting a large hole in it.

"I'll fix it!"

"Madman Zhu Feng shouted loudly, then turned around and continued his attack on Su Mu."

Su Mu chuckled.

He had already grasped Zhu Feng's cultivation level quite well; if he continued, it would truly be an insult.

His movements were fluid and his techniques varied.

Su Mu's figure instantly cut into Zhu Feng's palms.

boom!
Su Mu placed a palm on Zhu Feng's chest.

With a flick of his palm, Zhu Feng was sent flying backward.

"it is good!"

Zhu Feng jumped up and shouted loudly, his face full of excitement.

While others feel bad when they lose, he was even more excited when he lost than when he won.

With a powerful push of his legs, he pounced on it again.

Su Mu shifted his body slightly.

boom!
boom!
boom!
The muffled thuds continued incessantly.

In Du Fangkun's eyes, Su Mu's figure was like a ghost, almost indistinguishable to the naked eye.

Then his palms kept landing on Zhu Feng.

Zhu Feng tried his best to dodge, but he was unable to escape Su Mu's attacks.

In the blink of an eye, Zhu Feng had been struck countless times.

Finally, the earth shook violently, and Zhu Feng crashed heavily to the ground.

He lay on the ground, unable to get up for a moment.

"Xiao Du."

Su Mu casually said, "I'd appreciate it if you could take him back and help him get all his joints set."

Du Fangkun suddenly realized that in the blink of an eye, Su Mu had already shattered all the joints of the madman Zhu Feng.

What kind of strength is this?
Madman Zhu Feng is, after all, a powerful being at the Heavenly Fate Realm.

The gap in strength between them is just too big.

"I lost."

Zhu Feng let Du Fangkun carry him up, but shouted loudly, "I will keep my promise and write down my martial arts notes and give them to you, but I will come back to find you again."

I'm sure I can figure out a way to counter your punching technique!

The sound drifted into Su Mu's ears from afar, making him chuckle involuntarily.

This Zhu Feng is truly a madman.

Even if you figure out your own technique, so what?

He knew more martial arts techniques than Zhu Feng.

Su Mu shook his head, flicked his sleeve, and the courtyard gate closed automatically without any wind.

He turned and went into the room. After closing the door, he took out all the storage weapons he had obtained from Qiu Beisong, Jiang Yizheng and others.

The foot of Wuzong Mountain is definitely a very safe place.

This place was especially important as it was where Emperor Wuzong entertained his guests.

Looking across the entire Taixu Sacred Realm, I doubt anyone would dare to come here and cause trouble.

Su Mu can rest assured and do his own thing.

After all, there won't be another person like the madman Zhu Feng.

"My original intention for this trip to Spring Breeze City was only to find the Zhenwu Zhenhai Stele, but Qiu Beisong and Jiang Yizheng went down a dead end, which made me make a fortune."

Looking at the more than twenty storage weapons in front of him, Su Mu was also somewhat surprised and delighted.

To be honest, he didn't really intend to kill Qiu Beisong and Jiang Yizheng at first.

If Qiu Beisong, Jiang Yizheng, and the others don't come after him after he leaves Chunfeng City, then this matter can be considered over.

Su Mu would not go to Spring Breeze City to cause them any more trouble.

Even if he lost some spirit stones, Su Mu didn't care.

But Qiu Beisong and Jiang Yizheng, among others, brought this upon themselves by coming out of the city to hunt him down.

Su Mu felt he had suffered a loss, and they should be grateful he let them go.

They even dared to go out of the city to kill Su Mu.

Isn't this like an old man hanging himself, courting death?
Su Mu was no saint either; with others chasing him down to his doorstep, how could he show mercy?

As a result, he acquired so many storage weapons.

Back in the outer realms, he forged a few storage weapons by chance, but there were only a few, not enough to go around, and he had to use them cautiously, lest they attract the covetous eyes of powerful beings.

At that time, he could never have imagined that he would become so wealthy.

More than twenty storage weapons were lined up in a row, some shaped like rings, some like bracelets, and some like pendants.

They are all kinds of strange and varied, and the interior spaces are also of different sizes.

The only thing they have in common is that they all contain the savings of their former owners.

"This is Qiu Beisong's."

Su Mu picked up a pendant-shaped storage weapon and thought to himself, "An elder of the Azure Sky Sect must be stronger than Jiang Yizheng was back then."

With a thought, he had already probed into the space inside the weapon.

The first thing you see is a field of white spirit stones.

Su Mu counted the number in an instant: more than 70,000, less than 80,000 high-grade spirit stones.

This number is not large enough to match Qiu Beisong's status.

However, this situation is also because Qiu Beisong previously purchased immortal weapons, spending two million high-grade spirit stones.

Even for an elder of the Azure Sky Sect, being able to carry more than two million high-grade spirit stones is already considered extremely wealthy.

Next to the spirit stone was the immortal weapon worth five million high-grade spirit stones.

The immortal weapon that Qiu Beisong had auctioned off at a great cost has now returned to Su Mu's hands intact.

Su Mu smiled faintly and stored the immortal weapon inside the Yin-Yang Cauldron.

This was originally his own; it was simply returning it to its rightful owner. Having retrieved the immortal weapon, Su Mu continued his thoughts.

Next to it was a row of neat shelves, which were densely packed with things.

It's clear that Qiu Beisong is a very organized person; his storage weapons are neatly arranged.

One column lists elixirs, and the other lists various weapons.

On another shelf were dozens of yellowed secret manuals and several palm-sized jade slips.

Su Mu didn't care much about weapons or elixirs; his attention was focused on the secret manuals.

Qiu Besong is an elder of the Cangqiong Sect. Could the secret manual he treasures be the sect's ultimate technique?
As the number one sect in the Taixu Sacred Realm, the Cangqiong Sect naturally has its own unique martial arts.

With a hint of anticipation, Su Mu carefully picked up a secret manual.

"Star Trail Step".

Su Mu flipped through the manual, reading it quickly, and a look of surprise appeared on his face.

The Star Track Step is the most advanced movement technique of the Azure Sky Sect. It closely follows the trajectory of the stars, and the body moves like a stream of light, with exquisite and unparalleled agility and movement.

Upon reaching a high level of cultivation, one can even briefly escape into the void using starlight, thus avoiding all physical attacks.

"Fortunately, Qiu Beisong did not master the Star Track Step, otherwise it would not have been so easy for me to kill him back then."

Su Mu muttered to himself.

He was certain that Qiu Beisong did not have the ability to escape into the void, otherwise Qiu Beisong would have been able to escape from him back then.

"This Star Trail Step is an excellent way to save your life. You can practice it if you have the chance."

Su Mu put away the Star Trail Step manual with satisfaction, and then continued to flip through the pages.

Shattering Star Fist, Flowing Cloud Palm, Starlight Finger...

These manuals are indeed the secret techniques of the Azure Sky Sect.

However, apart from the Star Trail Step having some effect on Su Mu, the others were only slightly better than nothing.

Su Mu put them all away to enhance his own foundation, and then he picked up the last jade slip.

In the world of martial arts, secret manuals are sometimes recorded on paper, and sometimes on jade slips.

However, to record things using jade slips, the recorder's soul must be strong enough, and the jade slips used also have certain requirements.

Therefore, even within major sects, only the most advanced cultivation techniques and martial arts skills are recorded using jade slips.

Su Mu placed the jade slip between his eyebrows, and with a thought, he saw the contents recorded inside.

The next moment, a look of surprise appeared on his face.

"The Return to the Ruins"

Su Mu muttered to himself, "I never imagined that Qiu Beisong's identity would qualify him to cultivate the Return to the Void Technique."

According to Su Mu, although Qiu Beisong is an elder of the Cangqiong Sect, he is not considered a core member of the sect.

If he were truly a core member of the Azure Sky Sect, he wouldn't have been sent to Spring Breeze City as a garrison commander.

Qiu Beisong is the kind of person whose talent is not outstanding, but who has reached the Heavenly Fate Realm through hard work and a long period of time. Although the Azure Sky Sect gave him an elder position, theoretically speaking, Qiu Beisong's upper limit has already been reached.

Barring any unforeseen circumstances, Qiu Beisong's cultivation level is unlikely to improve further, and his status will naturally not be able to advance any further.

However, the Return to the Void Technique is a peerless secret technique that only the core disciples of the Azure Sky Sect are qualified to cultivate.

Logically speaking, Qiu Beisong shouldn't be qualified to make contact.

But he happens to possess the Guixu Guide!
"The fact that the Azure Sky Sect was able to dominate the Void Sacred Realm was largely due to the Guixu Guide."

Su Mu thought to himself.

Gui Xu Yin's name is known to almost everyone in the Tai Xu Sacred Realm.

But no one has actually seen it.

Because everyone who has seen the Guixu Guide is already dead.

The Return to the Void technique allows one to communicate with the ancient star void through mental cultivation. It can summon a black hole vortex to devour everything, and after devouring, it can transform into a beam of destructive light. Once unleashed, an area within a thousand miles will be completely reduced to ruins.

After this move is used, the user's lifespan will also be exhausted.

In short, this is a suicidal move that should only be used in life-or-death situations.

But once used, its power is great enough to turn the tide of battle.

It is said that the Cangqiong Sect once faced a crisis of annihilation. On that occasion, the sect leader of the Cangqiong Sect used the Guixu Yin technique to wipe out the enemy in one fell swoop, shocking the Taixu Sacred Realm.

Since then, no one has dared to violate the gates of the Azure Sky Sect.

No one knows how many people in the Azure Sky Sect have mastered the Return to Nothingness Technique.

"Legend has it that the Returning Void Technique can even injure a Celestial Venerable. If I could master it—"

Su Mu fell into deep thought.

Once the Guixu Technique is unleashed, the outcome will be mutual destruction.

But Su Mu is different. He is now just an avatar. Even if they perish together, he will only lose an avatar, while the enemy will have to pay the price with their life.

If you really encounter a life-or-death crisis, this deal is still worthwhile.

"The Martial Ancestor and the Sect Master of the Azure Sky Sect are both very strong. I'm afraid I might not be their match now, unless my Eight-Nine Mysterious Functions break through to the Great Perfection realm."

Su Mu pondered to himself.

He would not underestimate himself, nor would he be arrogant, thinking that he was invincible below the Heavenly Venerable.

Putting aside everything else, the strength of Martial Ancestor and Fu Canglan, the sect leader of the Azure Sky Sect, is unfathomable.

Even Cha Haishan, the eldest disciple of the Martial Sect, judging from his previous performance, was no less powerful than himself.

There are countless experts like this in the Taixu Sacred Realm.

Su Mu had never heard of Cha Haishan before, but in reality, Cha Haishan's strength was far superior to Tian Cangchen's.

Often, fame and ability are not necessarily proportional.

Being famous doesn't necessarily mean being strong, and not being famous doesn't necessarily mean being weak.

The world is full of hidden talents; you never know where a powerful figure might emerge.

"Perfecting the Eight-Nine Mysterious Techniques is no easy feat; even my original body hasn't achieved it yet. However, if I could master the Returning to the Void Induction Technique, it would be equivalent to having an extra means of self-preservation."

Furthermore, the Martial Sect's Primordial Golden Body, by analogy, should also be helpful in breaking through to the Great Perfection realm of the Eight-Nine Mysterious Technique.

"The Return to the Void Technique is the strongest technique of the Azure Sky Sect, and also its most treasured secret. The Azure Sky Sect will absolutely not allow it to be leaked."

Su Mu suddenly realized a big problem.

If it were merely Qiu Beisong's death, the Azure Sky Sect would investigate, but certainly not with the full force of the sect.

Just like when Zhang Qiubai and others came to Wuzong, they retreated immediately after being attacked by Cha Haishan.

Even if they were to cause trouble for Emperor Wuzong again afterward, they wouldn't actually fight Emperor Wuzong to the death over a dead Qiu Beisong.

But with the addition of the Guixu Yin (a system of internal energy transfer), the situation changes.

The Azure Sky Sect will absolutely not allow the Ruins of Return to fall into the hands of outsiders, especially the Martial Sect.

"This is going to get out of hand."

Su Mu muttered to himself.

Even if he and the demon cat had set up a fake treasure, it would have only stirred up conflict between the two factions.

They might go to war, but it might not escalate to the point of a life-or-death struggle.

now--

Not the same.

Even if the Martial Sect knew nothing about the Guixu Guide, and even if they were truly the murderers and were now willing to hand over the Guixu Guide, the Azure Sky Sect would absolutely not let it go.

After all, who knows if a martial arts master has memorized a cultivation technique?
If Wu Zong were to master the Guixu Yin technique, their Cangqiong Sect's position as the number one sect in the world would be in jeopardy.

The title of the number one sect in the world is not just an empty name.

The Azure Sky Sect has acted domineeringly over the years, offending countless people. Once they lose their position as the number one sect in the world, there will likely be a lot of people who will kick them while they're down.

When the wall falls, everyone pushes it down. In the end, the only fate awaiting the Azure Sky Sect will be the destruction of the sect and the death of its members.

When it comes to the survival of a sect, if Su Mu were from the Azure Sky Sect, he would definitely strike first and eliminate the Martial Sect before they could master the Returning Void Technique, thus preventing any potential problems.

If the two behemoths, the Martial Sect and the Azure Sky Sect, were to truly fight to the death, the Great Void Sacred Realm would surely descend into chaos.

At that time, even the Celestial Venerable might get involved.

These things are fine, since they don't affect Su Mu much.

Even if the battle in the Taixu Sacred Realm escalates to the point of collapse, he can still return to the outer realms and live peacefully in a corner of the world.

The key issue is that once things escalate to this point, both the Azure Sky Sect and the Martial Sect will definitely investigate the murderer who killed Qiu Beisong.

There are countless powerful figures in the Taixu Sacred Realm. Although Su Mu is confident that he has done his job cleanly, it is hard to say whether anyone can find out the truth.

The most likely outcome is that Su Mu will be exposed.

"Who would have thought that killing a marginal elder of the Sky Dome Sect would cause so much trouble?"

Su Mu rubbed his temples, thinking with a headache.

I originally thought Qiu Beisong was just a frustrated elder of the Cangqiong Sect, so killing him was no big deal.

Who knew it would turn out to be a hornet's nest?

However, it's impossible for Su Mu to return the Guixu Guiding Tool now.

How could he possibly return something that's already in his hands?
"Even if they manage to trace it back to me, at worst I'll just have to fight them. If I can't win, I can retreat to the outer realms, which are forbidden zones of destiny, and they can't break through there."

Su Mu thought to himself.

Now that we have obtained the Primordial Golden Body and the Returning to the Void Guide, it is natural for us to cultivate them.

Compared to the original body, the clone's skills are still too limited.

The Primordial Golden Body and the Eight-Nine Mysterious Skill can complement each other, while the Returning to the Void Guiding Technique can be used as a trump card.

They also practiced the Star Trail Step.

Too many skills don't overwhelm the body.

Without hesitation, Su Mu summoned the system panel.

…………

The Azure Sky Sect.

"What did you say? Qiu Beisong has the 'Guixu Yin' on him?"

Zhang Qiubai suddenly stood up, his face turning extremely pale.

He brought Qiu Beisong's body back to the Azure Sky Sect, originally intending to gather people to go back to the Martial Sect to demand an explanation, but instead he received this news.

"Yes."

Standing opposite him was also an elder of the Azure Sky Sect, in charge of rewards and punishments within the sect.

"Previously, Qiu Beisong led a team to wipe out the desert bandits of the Hanhai. In recognition of his merits, he used his accumulated achievements to exchange for the 'Guixu Yin' technique."

The elder who was rewarding merits also looked displeased.

Who would have thought that a Celestial Realm elder of the Azure Sky Sect would suddenly perish?

In the history of the Azure Sky Sect, the number of Heavenly Fate Realm elders who were killed can be counted on one hand.

Besides, Qiu Besong wasn't going on any dangerous mission; he was just going to guard Chunfeng City, a place where there's basically no danger on a daily basis.

Who would have thought it would be such a coincidence?

"I was wondering before why Emperor Wuzong would target Qiu Beisong."

Zhang Qiubai said in a deep voice, "Qiu Beisong is just an insignificant elder in our sect. No matter how you look at it, he is not worth the Martial Ancestor taking action against him."

I get it now.

So it was "The Return to the Ruins"!

"If the person who killed Qiu Beisong was indeed Wu Zu, then the Guixu Yin has probably already fallen into Wu Zu's hands, and things are getting a bit complicated."

Elder Shanggong said.

All the elders of the Azure Sky Sect present were aware of this problem.

This is a matter of life and death for their Azure Sky Sect.

"I'm going to find the sect leader. Elder Zhang, you go and gather the men. I'm afraid this matter can't be resolved peacefully."

Elder Shanggong said in a deep voice.

If it were merely Qiu Beisong's death, then if Emperor Wuzong were willing to pay a price, this matter could be let go.

But now that "The Return to the Void" has been involved, it's a fight to the death.

"The Martial Ancestor's birthday is approaching, and many powerful figures are currently offering their congratulations at the Martial Sect. If we launch an attack at this time, those powerful figures will probably not stand idly by."

Zhang Qiubai frowned.

The powerful figures invited by the Martial Ancestor were all people he had some connection with.

Now is actually the least suitable time to attack Wuzong.

"Furthermore, we cannot be certain that the murderer is indeed the Martial Ancestor. What if—"

Zhang Qiubai said, "I mean, what if the person who killed Qiu Beisong wasn't Wu Zu?"
The news brought back by the golden-armored generals earlier indicated that there was a guy in the outer realm who had mastered the Eight-Nine Mysterious Technique, wasn't there?
"Following the laws of heaven and earth, those who have cultivated the Eight or Nine Mysterious Techniques can also do it."

"You mean that Su Mu?"

Elder Shang Gong frowned.

The Azure Sky Sect suffered heavy losses in the outer regions. Some of them died at the hands of Martial Sect Master Tian Cangchen, and others died at the hands of Su Mu.

The Azure Sky Sect also investigated Su Mu through various channels, and almost all the elders in the sect knew this name.

"Leaving aside whether Su Mu is strong enough to kill Qiu Beisong, even if he were, he's in the outer realms. How could he possibly come all the way to the Taixu Sacred Realm to kill someone?"

Zhang Qiubai said.

"Since he could set up a teleportation array that spanned two worlds before, it is certainly possible for him to do so now as well."

Elder Shanggong said, "No matter what, we need to prepare for both possibilities."

On one hand, they prepared to deal with the Martial Sect, and on the other hand, they sent people to the outer regions to investigate whether Su Mu was in the outer regions or in the Taixu Sacred Realm.

With the Martial Ancestor's strength, if he wanted to kill someone, he wouldn't be able to leave any trace.

The signs of murder are so clear now, I suspect something is wrong. Our Azure Sky Sect cannot be used as a tool!

Zhang Qiubai and the others nodded in agreement.

They actually felt something was amiss, but in their anger, they rushed directly to Wu Zong.

Looking back now, it's possible that someone really was using the Sky Dome Sect.

"Hmph, no matter who the real murderer is, I will definitely dig him out."

Zhang Qiubai snorted coldly, "Just do as you say, prepare for war while tracking down the real culprit."

Isn't the Martial Ancestor going to hold a birthday banquet? This is a perfect opportunity to test whether he is the real murderer.

There's also the treasure of the Seventy-Two Thieves, which belongs to our Azure Sky Sect.

It's time to settle both scores with Emperor Wuzong!

…………

boom!
boom!
boom!
The knocking woke Su Mu.

He got up and opened the door, and the madman Zhu Feng stormed in like a whirlwind, slamming a stack of secret manuals in front of him.

"This is all the martial arts I have ever practiced in my life, it's all here."

"That's what the madman Zhu Feng said."

Su Mu glanced at them; the ink on those manuals was still wet, clearly written down by Zhu Feng overnight.

He was speechless. The madman Zhu Feng was, after all, a powerful expert at the Heavenly Fate Realm. Didn't he have a few jade slips in his possession? Why was he using such a clumsy method to take notes?

However, Zhu Feng is a man of his word.

"I've figured out how to counter your attack. Let's have another match."

Zhu Feng's eyes were bright as he looked at Su Mu. (End of Chapter)
