The First Marquis of Daxuan

"You didn't use this trick before."

Madman Zhu Feng lay on his back on the ground, sporting dark circles under his eyes, and said in a muffled voice.

Who says I have to use the same trick all the time?

Su Mu smiled faintly and said, "It doesn't matter if it's a black cat or a white cat, as long as it catches mice, it's a good cat."

No matter what tricks I use, you've lost again.

"It doesn't matter if it's a black cat or a white cat, as long as it catches mice, it's a good cat—"

Madman Zhu Feng's face showed a thoughtful expression. "I understand. Next time, I will definitely not lose to this move of yours again."

He leaped up, ignoring his injuries, and jumped straight out.

"I'll bring you the bet next time."

The voice of the madman Zhu Feng could be heard from afar.

He had just disappeared when a head popped out from outside the door. Who else could it be but Du Fangkun?
"Senior Wu, he's still clinging to you, hasn't he?"

Du Fangkun said quietly, his tone tinged with bitterness.

Madman Zhu Feng only challenged him once and then stopped, but now Madman Zhu Feng has come to Wu Jiutong a second time.

"I knew it, Zhu Feng the Madman is a madman."

Du Fangkun said, "If he gets involved with you, you'll have a real headache."

"Really? I think it would be good to have someone to practice with, and I can win some bets each time."

Su Mu smiled faintly and said.

Du Fangkun: "..."

Is Wu Jiutong also a madman?

Yes.

Aren't those who pursue the path of physical immortality through martial arts all belligerent martial arts fanatics?

Without a bit of madness, it would be impossible to go this far on this path.

The path to physical immortality in martial arts is extremely painful to cultivate, and those who achieve something in this path are madmen at heart.

I shouldn't have treated these people like normal people!

Du Fangkun thought to himself.

Compared to people like Wu Jiutong and Zhu Feng, I feel a bit strange for being normal.

"Senior Wu, I just received some news."

Du Fangkun shook his head, clearing the jumbled thoughts from his mind, and spoke in a low voice.

"The Azure Sky Sect is making a big move!"

"Oh?"

Su Mu glanced at Du Fangkun.

Seeing that Wu Jiutong, who was usually unyielding, had become interested, Du Fangkun also became slightly excited.

"Didn't Zhang Qiubai and his group from the Azure Sky Sect come to the Martial Sect to demand an explanation?"

That's because Qiu Beisong, an elder of the Cangqiong Sect, was killed, and the person who killed him used the Dharma of Heaven and Earth.

As everyone knows, the "Heaven and Earth Transformation Technique" is the unique skill of the Martial Sect.

Du Fangkun said.

"So Elder Qiu Beison of the Azure Sky Sect was killed by a Martial Sect expert?"

Su Mudao.

"Most people would think that way."

Du Fangkun said mysteriously, "However, that's not necessarily true."

Within the Taixu Sacred Realm, only disciples of the Martial Sect understand the principles of the laws of heaven and earth; outside the Taixu Sacred Realm, it's not necessarily the case.

Let me tell you, in the outer realms, there is a person who is said to have obtained the inheritance of the Seventy-Two Thieves and mastered the Eight-Nine Mysterious Skill.

That person is also capable of using the magic of heaven and earth.

Moreover, in cases of murder, the traces at the scene might very well be fabricated.

"Since you know so much, then tell me, who is the murderer?"

Su Mu asked calmly.

"Then I don't know."

Du Fangkun shook his head and said, "If I knew who the murderer was, I would go directly to the Azure Sky Sect to claim the reward."

The Azure Sky Sect has now offered a bounty; anyone who can provide clues about the murderer will receive a substantial reward.

and--"

He furtively glanced around, took two steps closer to Su Mu, and lowered his voice, saying, "While the Azure Sky Sect is investigating the murderer, it is also preparing to launch an attack on the Martial Sect."

"Are you sure? The war between the Azure Sky Sect and the Martial Sect is no small matter. It's not worth it for a mere elder."

Su Mudao.

He knew why, but he couldn't tell Du Fangkun.

He wanted to learn more about the Cangqiong Sect's activities from Du Fangkun, which is why he deliberately asked these questions.

"Originally, it was just Qiu Beisong, which was not the case."

However, in recent years, the Martial Sect has become increasingly powerful, and the Azure Sky Sect has long disliked the Martial Sect.

I suspect the Azure Sky Sect has seized upon this excuse.

Du Fangkun said, "Senior Wu, just you wait and see. Something big is bound to happen at this Martial Ancestor's birthday banquet."

"Is the Azure Sky Sect really that patient? Can they really wait until after the birthday banquet to make their move?"

Su Mu asked.

"In my analysis, there are two reasons for this."

One reason is that the Martial Ancestor's birthday banquet invited powerful figures from all over the world. All those invited by the Martial Ancestor were renowned figures in their respective regions and had a close relationship with him. If the Azure Sky Sect were to take action against the Martial Ancestor at this time, these powerful figures would certainly not stand idly by.

Even if it's just out of face, they will still lend a hand to Wu Zong.

At that time, the Azure Sky Sect will face more than just Martial Sect members.

Another reason, I suspect, is that the Azure Sky Sect doesn't yet have concrete evidence.

They have no way to prove that the Martial Ancestor committed murder, and the traces of the Heaven and Earth at the scene are hardly convincing.

The Martial Sect is no small sect. Even the Azure Sky Sect would need a plausible reason to attack the Martial Sect.

Du Fangkun analyzed it carefully.

To be honest, his analysis did make some sense.

As the real culprit, Su Mu possesses at least as much information as Du Fangkun. If he were to guess, he could only arrive at this conclusion.

To think that the Azure Sky Sect would directly attack the Martial Sect was indeed underestimating the Azure Sky Sect.

The Azure Sky Sect has stood tall in the Void Sacred Realm for so long; whatever he can think of, the Azure Sky Sect can also think of.

They might have acted impulsively, but afterwards they would definitely doubt whether the murderer was actually the Martial Ancestor of the Martial Sect.

Now Su Mu is somewhat worried. If the Azure Sky Sect can calmly confront the Martial Ancestor, then the truth of the matter will suddenly become very clear.

"This is the big news you were talking about? It's nothing but some unfounded rumors."

Su Mu glanced at Du Fangkun and said calmly, "The Azure Sky Sect hasn't made any substantial moves—"

"Who says the Azure Sky Sect hasn't taken any substantial action?"

Du Fangkun became anxious.

You can doubt his character, but you absolutely cannot doubt his abilities!
Their Tianyi Pavilion makes a living off its reputation.

If their reputation is ruined, who will trust them in the future?
"The Sect Master of the Azure Sky Sect, Fu Canglan, has already set off. He is going to personally attend the Martial Ancestor's birthday banquet! Isn't this news explosive enough?"

Du Fangkun said, "Since ancient times, kings have never met. The Martial Sect and the Azure Sky Sect have been fighting for so long, but the Martial Ancestor and Fu Canglan have never met."

This was their first meeting.

"For example -"

Su Mu pondered for a moment and said, "If the Martial Ancestor is not the murderer, then wouldn't the misunderstanding be cleared up as soon as they meet?"

"Senior Wu, do you also think that Martial Ancestor is not the murderer?"

Du Fangkun's face showed an expression of great agreement, and he said with a smile, "Actually, I also think that the one who killed him was not Wu Zu. With Wu Zu's strength, how could he have left so many clues if he wanted to kill Qiu Beisong?"
Someone must have deliberately framed him.

However, given Wu Zu's personality, he simply wouldn't bother to explain.

He might even be eager for an excuse to fight Fu Canglan.

Du Fangkun glanced at Su Mu furtively, thinking to himself, "You guys who pursue the path of physical immortality are all lunatics."

You are, and so is the Martial Ancestor.

Although Zhu Feng, the Madman, doesn't follow a purely physical martial arts path, it's similar to yours.

"You mean, even if the Martial Ancestor is framed, he won't explain himself?"

Su Mu pondered for a moment.

"Of course, who is the Martial Ancestor? How could someone as proud as him possibly explain himself to others?"

Du Fangkun said, "He doesn't care at all what others think of him, whether they doubt him or believe him, he won't explain himself."

"It sounds like you know a lot about the Martial Ancestor?"

Su Mu looked at Du Fangkun and said.

"I have some understanding of it."

Du Fangkun said smugly, "Senior Wu, as the saying goes, when gods fight, the common people suffer."

We're here to attend a birthday banquet, not to get involved in this mess.

If Martial Ancestor and Fu Canglan were to actually fight, then Martial Sect and Azure Sky Sect would definitely go to war immediately.

"Our Tianyi Pavilion has always maintained a neutral stance. When the time comes, I will release our Tianyi Pavilion's flying boats. Upon seeing our banners, neither side will attack us."

"Ok?"

Su Mu looked at Du Fangkun with a puzzled expression.

"Our Tianyi Pavilion's flying boat has limited seats and will only accept friends of Tianyi Pavilion. If you are interested, Senior Wu, I can reserve a seat for you."

You don't need ten million high-grade spirit stones, or even one million; you only need eighty-eighty thousand high-grade spirit stones to get a spot.

Even if the Azure Sky Sect and the Martial Sect fight until the heavens and earth darken, we can sit back and watch the winds of change shift.

Du Fangkun spoke with a standard smile on his face.

Su Mu chuckled to himself.

He thought Du Fangkun had come specifically to share news with him, but it turned out he was just trying to sell Tianyi Pavilion's products.

Du Fangkun is quite the businessman; he managed to turn such a baseless rumor into a business opportunity.

One seat costs 880,000 high-grade spirit stones.

Elder Qiu Besong of the Cangqiong Sect risked his life for five million high-grade spirit stones. If he knew that a single seat in the Tianyi Pavilion could sell for 880,000 high-grade spirit stones, I wonder if he would be so angry that he would jump out of his grave.

"I appreciate your kind offer, but I don't have any spirit stones."

Su Mu said calmly.

"It's alright if you don't have spirit stones, I can lend them to you."

Du Fangkun pulled out an abacus from somewhere and started clicking away, saying, "Given our relationship, I'll give you a discount on the interest..."

Su Mu was both amused and exasperated.

"Your business is really quite extensive."

he said angrily.

"Just trying to make a living."

Du Fangkun chuckled.

"That won't be necessary."

Su Mu shook his head and said, "Although I don't have any great abilities, I can still protect myself, so I don't need to rely on your Tianyi Pavilion."

"Senior Wu, I didn't mean to belittle you."

Du Fangkun quickly said, "I believe that with your strength, even if you are affected, you are capable of protecting yourself. However, if we can avoid taking action, why should we?
"For just a few spirit stones, you can sit on a flying boat and watch a show. Isn't that a great deal?"

Du Fangkun used his silver tongue to promote his seat on the flying boat.

Unfortunately, he chose the wrong person.

Even if he argued until the end, Su Mu would never spend those 880,000 high-grade spirit stones.

Let alone 880,000 high-grade spirit stones, even eight stones would be too much for Su Mu.

"Let's wait until the Azure Sky Sect and the Martial Sect really start their war before we talk about it."

Su Mu said calmly.

"They're bound to fight. How about we make a bet, Senior Wu?"

Du Fangkun said, "It's like the bet you made with the madman Zhu Feng."

Du Fangkun's business acumen was ingrained in his very being; he was always looking to extract spirit stones from Su Mu.

"A bet isn't out of the question."

Su Mu smiled and said, "If you win, I'll buy your seat."

If you lose, I don't want 880,000 high-grade spirit stones; 500,000 will suffice.

However, I'm betting that the Azure Sky Sect won't find the real culprit.

"Are you betting that the Azure Sky Sect won't find the real culprit?"

Du Fangkun paused for a moment, then fell into thought.

His mind raced.

The person who killed Qiu Beisong must be extraordinary, but Du Fangkun doesn't believe that the Cangqiong Sect has no way to find the murderer.

Who is the Azure Sky Sect?
That's the number one sect in the Taixu Sacred Realm, with countless disciples and powerful figures.

If they want to do something, how could they possibly fail?

Unless the murderer disappears from the human world, even if he hides in the outer realms, the Azure Sky Sect will definitely be able to find him.

Even if the murderer is indeed a Martial Grandmaster, and the Martial Ancestor is determined to protect him, it will absolutely not escape the notice of the Azure Sky Sect.

While the Martial Ancestor was indeed powerful, his foundation was still somewhat shallow and could not compare to that of the Azure Sky Sect.

I'm almost certain to win this gamble.

But why do I feel like something's not right?
Du Fangkun muttered to himself.

What he didn't know was that if the Azure Sky Sect really found the murderer, it would mean that Su Mu was exposed. At that time, he would of course have to run for his life. Even if he was willing to pay 880,000 high-grade spirit stones to Tianyi Pavilion, Tianyi Pavilion would definitely not dare to sell him a seat.

Therefore, Su Mu simply cannot lose.

Even if he loses, he can't pay out his bets.

But Du Fangkun was unaware of these things. He hesitated for a moment, and finally clapped his hands.

"It's a bet!"

…………

There's another advantage to betting with Du Fangkun.

That is, ever since the two made the bet, Du Fangkun has been coming to report the latest news to Su Mu almost every day.

Tianyi Pavilion's information channels are all over the world. Du Fangkun is well-informed, and he already knows a lot of information before it even reaches the Martial Sect.

His knowledge meant that Su Mu also knew.

Moreover, no one knows what methods Du Fangkun used to obtain information even from within the Azure Sky Sect.

Su Mu received news of whatever clues the Azure Sky Sect had uncovered and what actions they had taken immediately.

"Based on the current investigation results of the Azure Sky Sect, most of the powerful individuals in the Azure Sky Sect who have mastered the Law of Heaven and Earth have alibis."

There is only the Martial Ancestor and one other person; there is no evidence to prove that they did not have time to make a move.

"So if the murderer is in the Martial Sect, it can only be either the Martial Ancestor or that Martial Sect elder," Du Fangkun said. "Also, do you remember the person from the outer realm I told you about before? The Azure Sky Sect also sent people to the outer realm, and it's now confirmed that Su Mu was in the outer realm when Qiu Beisong was killed, so the murderer couldn't be him."

"So, the suspects have been narrowed down to just two people?"

Su Mu asked, "Then why doesn't the Azure Sky Sect directly approach the Martial Sect?"

"Don't worry, we're just checking people who understand the Law of Heaven and Earth right now. In fact, Qiu Beisong of the Azure Sky Sect may not have died under the Law of Heaven and Earth."

It's not difficult to fabricate traces of divine intervention; who can guarantee that this isn't a frame-up, a scheme to use someone else to do the dirty work?

Du Fangkun continued, "The Azure Sky Sect has identified and investigated all the powerful individuals within a thousand miles of Spring Breeze City who were capable of killing Qiu Beisong during the month before and after his death."

Du Fangkun's expression suddenly became somewhat strange.

"Brother Wu, did you also visit Spring Breeze City around that time?"

he asked quietly.

"Yes."

Su Mu nodded and said.

He was also somewhat moved; the Azure Sky Sect was really going all out to ensure that the Guixu Guide wouldn't be leaked.

Finding all the powerful individuals who have ever appeared within a thousand miles of Spring Breeze City sounds simple, but in reality, it is extremely difficult.

Looking across the Great Void Sacred Realm and the outer realms, perhaps only the Great Void Sacred Realm can achieve this.

They accomplished this in such a short time; their efficiency is truly terrifying.

"I've come to wish the Martial Ancestor a happy birthday, so I can't come empty-handed. I went to Spring Breeze City to sell divine weapons and exchange them for spirit stones to prepare a birthday gift for the Martial Ancestor."

Su Mu said calmly, "Speaking of which, I have met Elder Qiu once before. Elder Qiu spent five million high-grade spirit stones to buy a celestial weapon from me."

The congratulatory gift I prepared for Lord Martial Ancestor also owes a debt to Elder Qiu.

Du Fangkun's expression became increasingly strange.

According to the information he received, Wu Jiutong is now a prime suspect for the Cangqiong Sect.

Before Qiu Beisong was killed, Wu Jiutong happened to be in Chunfeng City and even had a conflict with Qiu Beisong.

Furthermore, Wu Jiutong is a powerful expert at the Heavenly Fate Realm who has achieved sainthood through physical cultivation. In terms of strength, he might be able to kill Qiu Beisong.

Aside from the fact that the Wu family's fiery rock body lacks the power to manifest heaven and earth, Wu Jiutong is highly suspect in every other aspect.

Even Du Fangkun found Su Mu highly suspicious.

If Su Mu weren't currently at the Martial Sect, the people from the Azure Sky Sect would have already captured him and interrogated him.

"Senior Wu—"

Du Fangkun asked cautiously, "Don't you feel like something's not quite right?"

Of all the places in the world, why do you insist on selling divine weapons in Spring Breeze City? You could also come to our Tianyi Pavilion.

And what a coincidence, your weapon was bought by Qiu Beisong for a high price.

You prepared a congratulatory gift for Lord Martial Ancestor, but in the end, it was the elders of the Azure Sky Sect who paid for it?

"what do you want to say in the end?"

Su Mudao.

"I'm not saying you're the murderer, I just think—"

Du Fangkun had to speak out.

As he spoke, Du Fangkun leaned back, ready to flee at any moment.

Fortunately, this is a Martial Sect. Even if the other party suddenly attacks, as long as he escapes this courtyard, a Martial Sect expert will naturally come to his rescue.

"You suspect I'm the murderer of Qiu Beisong?"

Su Mu said with a half-smile.

"It's not me, I didn't!"

Du Fangkun shook his head repeatedly and said, "It's the Azure Sky Sect."

According to my information, the Azure Sky Sect has already listed you, Senior Wu, as a suspect, and a prime suspect at that.

"Leaving aside whether I have the ability to kill Qiu Beisong, my Wu family of Xiangzhou has no grudge against the Cangqiong Sect, so why would I want to kill him?"

Su Mu said calmly.

Before Du Fangkun could speak, another voice suddenly rang out.

"So, Brother Wu, please enlighten me, why did you do this?"

The voice was calm, as if it were ringing in Su Mu's ear.

Accompanied by the sound, a figure slowly walked in from outside the door.

"Killing Qiu Beisong and framing our Emperor Wuzong, I'd like to ask, what benefit do you gain from doing this, Brother Wu?"

The newcomer was a young man in his twenties or thirties, with a slender and well-proportioned body, and a deep, unyielding aura emanating from him.

"Lord Cha?"

Upon seeing the other person, Du Fangkun's expression changed, and he involuntarily bent over and took two steps back.

The newcomer nodded slightly to him, then paid no more attention and turned his gaze to Su Mu.

Cha Haishan?
The moment Du Fangkun spoke, Su Mu realized who he was.

Cha Haishan, the eldest disciple of the Martial Ancestor.

He was the one who repelled Zhang Qiubai and other elders of the Cangqiong Sect from afar without showing his face.

He actually came looking for me?
Su Mu's heart skipped a beat, but his expression remained unchanged.

"What do you mean, Lord Cha? I don't understand."

Su Mu said calmly.

"Wu Jiutong, a direct descendant of the Wu family in Xiangzhou, is 162 years old. He has perfected the Wu family's Fire Rock Body and is at the Heavenly Fate Realm."

Cha Haishan looked at Su Mu and slowly said, "With your strength, you are capable of killing Qiu Beisong of the Azure Sky Sect."

Su Mu also stared at Cha Haishan, his eyes unblinking.

Su Mu was not at all surprised that Cha Haishan was able to find out Wu Jiutong's identity.

If even these things cannot be found, then the Martial Sect is unworthy of being the second largest sect in the world.

However, even Wu Zong failed to uncover the problem with Wu Jiutong's identity, so the demon cat was quite reliable this time.

"Does killing Qiu Beisong automatically make someone the murderer? Does that mean Lord Cha is also the murderer?"

Su Mu smiled coldly and said, "Qiu Beisong is not a top expert. There are too many people in the world who can kill him to count on two hands. If Lord Cha thinks that I am just a country bumpkin who can be slandered by others, then you are mistaken."

Have you not heard the saying, "A common man's anger can spill blood five steps away"?

He took a step forward, and with a loud bang, his aura exploded.

The air surged and spread rapidly outwards like boiling water.

Du Fangkun felt short of breath and involuntarily backed away until he reached the door, where he finally felt a little better.

He clung to the doorframe, watching from a distance.

Cha Haishan's clothes fluttered and rustled even without wind.

boom!
The two forces collided in mid-air, producing a loud bang.

Their eyes met, as if sparks were about to fly.

suddenly.

Cha Haishan suddenly withdrew his imposing aura, and his whole demeanor became like that of an ordinary person.

"From now until you are cleared of suspicion, you are not allowed to leave this yard."

Cha Haishan said, "I will definitely find out whether you did this or not."

No one can make Emperor Wuzong take the blame.

After saying that, he turned and walked out.

“Lord Cha, I am a guest invited by your Martial Sect, not a prisoner of your Martial Sect. You are probably not qualified to place me under house arrest.”

Su Mu said calmly.

"You can try it."

Cha Haishan's movements seemed slow but were actually fast. In the blink of an eye, his figure was about to disappear on the mountain path, and his voice could be heard from afar.

"If you can leave Wuzong, I will write the character 'Cha' in my name backwards from now on."

His tone was calm, but the confidence he exuded was palpable.

Su Mu snorted coldly, lifted his foot, and was about to walk outside.

"Senior Wu, no!"

Du Fangkun jumped out, grabbed Su Mu, and shouted.

"It's all a misunderstanding right now. If you really break out, then there'll be no way to explain the misunderstanding."

Du Fangkun held Su Mu's arm and advised, "Anyway, Senior Wu, you're here to celebrate the birthday. You'll be staying here until the Martial Ancestor's birthday banquet ends. Once the banquet is over, the truth will surely come out."

There's really no need for you to confront Wu Zong head-on right now.

"It is Emperor Wuzong who has gone too far in bullying people."

Su Mu said coldly, "If I let them put me under house arrest, wouldn't that prove that I have a guilty conscience?"
If I have a clear conscience, why should I suffer this insult?
Just because our Wu family of Xiangzhou is not as strong as Wu Zong, does that give Wu Zong the right to insult me ​​like this?
Rather Stick to your guns.

The Wu family of Xiangzhou will never tolerate such humiliation!

"It hasn't come to that yet."

Du Fangkun comforted him, "Senior Wu, think about it from another perspective. Wu Zong was also acting cautiously. In any case, it is a fact that you have been to Chunfeng City."

If Wu Zong can investigate thoroughly and clear you of suspicion, that would be a good thing for you.

After all, if he could clear his name, the Azure Sky Sect would no longer cause trouble for his senior.

Even if we take a step back and assume you stay here, at least the people from the Azure Sky Sect can't break in; they can't do anything to you.

Don't think of yourself as being under house arrest. Think of it as the entire Martial Sect using all its resources to protect you.

"So, you also think I might be the murderer?"

Su Mu said coldly, "If we don't see eye to eye, then there's no need to say more."

Please, don't get your blood splattered on you.

His arm trembled slightly, and Du Fangkun was directly shaken back several steps.

Du Fangkun looked helpless, confirming that these guys who practiced physical martial arts were all lunatics.

It was just a trivial matter; you could have just let it go.

In this world, everyone has to suffer some setbacks sometimes.
If we rush out now, the best outcome will be that we get beaten up by a Martial Sect expert, and even if we don't die, we'll be seriously injured. Why bother?

Just to save face?

Even Wu Zong didn't make things difficult for you, did he?
You are indeed a suspect.

Du Fangkun felt he had no idea what these people were thinking.

"Senior Wu, may I have another word to say?"

Du Fangkun took a deep breath and said loudly, "If you still insist on leaving after I've finished speaking, then I will not stop you."

"I'll give you a chance, considering how hard you've worked for me these past few days."

Su Mu stopped and said calmly.

“Senior Wu, if you go out now, it will only make the real culprit laugh in the dark.”

"At that point, even if you didn't do it, it will be considered that you did it."

Du Fangkun said seriously, "Do you really want to face the pursuit of both the Martial Sect and the Azure Sky Sect at the same time?"

This will bring utter destruction to your Wu family in Xiangzhou.

Even if you yourself don't care, don't you think about the Wu family of Xiangzhou?

Seeing that Su Mu did not speak but did not walk out, Du Fangkun continued, "Senior Wu, it's just a small misunderstanding. There's really no need to let it develop into an irreparable mistake."

"How about this, I'll go and explain to Emperor Wuzong on your behalf. This way, you won't lose face, and the matter will be clarified."

"This has nothing to do with you, so why are you helping me?"

Su Mu looked at Du Fangkun and asked.

This matter involves the Azure Sky Sect and the Martial Sect; the slightest misstep could result in utter destruction.

Even if Du Fangkun has Tianyi Pavilion behind him, getting involved in this kind of thing would not do him any good.

The Azure Sky Sect and the Martial Sect wouldn't care about a mere Heavenly Profound Realm cultivator like him. Even if they killed him casually, what difference would it make?

"Who told me to hit it off with you, Senior Wu, at first sight?"

Du Fangkun sighed and said, "If I have to watch something happen to you, Senior Wu, I will definitely live with unease for the rest of my life."

Whether Du Fangkun meant it sincerely or not, his words warmed people's hearts.

"Do you think the Martial Emperor will listen to your explanation?"

Su Mu shook his head and said, "If they were willing to listen to explanations, they wouldn't be acting this way now."

They want to put me under house arrest right away. What kind of attitude is that?

Just now, I checked Hai Shan's records, and it's clear he's treating me like the murderer.

Is it bearable, what is unbearable?

I came here to offer my congratulations on his birthday out of respect for Emperor Wuzong. Now that they are not giving me any face, I will not give them any face in return.

It's better not to attend this birthday banquet.

After saying that, Su Mu continued walking outside.

"Xiao Du, you're a pretty good guy. If I can get through this, I'll introduce you to some big business opportunities later."

Su Mu laughed heartily and had already stepped over the threshold.

"Cha Haishan, Wu is out now, what can you do to me?"

Boom!

There was a loud bang.

Suddenly, flames erupted from Su Mu's body, and his skin turned crimson at a visible speed.

The surrounding temperature rose instantly, and the trees within a radius of dozens of feet were charred black in an instant.

Du Fangkun could not bear it and staggered backward.

Just then, a colossal hand appeared out of thin air and slammed down towards Su Mu.

Cha Haishan used this move before to send Zhang Qiubai and others from the Cangqiong Sect flying.

Now he's using the same old trick; the attack has already begun before he even shows himself.

Unfortunately, this time, his opponent was Su Mu.

A glint flashed in Su Mu's eyes, and he soared into the sky.

"Is this how your Wu Sect treats its guests, having traveled a long distance to offer birthday wishes?"

If that's the case, then Mr. Wu will not attend this birthday banquet.

Su Mu shouted loudly, his voice booming and instantly spreading throughout the entire Martial Sect.

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

Before he could finish speaking, Su Mu's figure collided with Cha Haishan's towering hand.

Amidst the deafening roar, flames dyed the sky red, and even the earth was bathed in red light.

Su Mu stood in mid-air, gazing ahead.

Cha Haishan's figure slowly appeared directly in front of him, his expression very solemn.

"Wu Jiutong, you're refusing a toast only to suffer the consequences."

he said coldly.

"Cha Haishan, if you want to put on airs in front of me, wait until you become the sect leader of the Martial Sect first."

Now, get out of the way!

Su Mu said coldly. (End of Chapter)
