The First Marquis of Daxuan

Du Fangkun never dreamed that he would suddenly become a hot commodity in everyone's eyes.

The root cause of all this was a sentence Su Mu left behind before returning to the courtyard.

Anyone who wants to get to know Su Mu has to go through him, Du Fangkun.

Su Mu is currently the most sought-after rising star in the Taixu Sacred Realm!

Although Cha Haishan, the eldest disciple of the Martial Sect, was not well-known, that was in comparison to ordinary martial artists.

Are those who are invited to attend the Martial Ancestor's birthday banquet ordinary people?
These people were among the most well-informed in the Taixu Sacred Realm.

How could they not know Cha Haishan's strength?
If Cha Haishan was really that incompetent, would Tian Cangchen have risked going to the outer regions to find the treasure of the Seventy-Two Thieves just to please the Martial Ancestor?
It was precisely because these people knew Cha Haishan's strength that they were so shocked when Su Mu defeated him.

Become famous in one battle.

That's exactly the situation I'm describing.

After this battle, the name Wu Jiutong became the most popular name in the Taixu Sacred Realm.

Regardless of what happens to Wu Jiutong in the future, it's better to get acquainted with him now; it will definitely be worth it later.

Even if Wu Jiutong were to die prematurely, it wouldn't be a loss for them. But if Wu Jiutong were to lead the Wu family of Xiangzhou to rise to power and become another major force besides the Cangqiong Sect and the Martial Sect, then they would benefit immensely from befriending Wu Jiutong in advance.

Du Fangkun naturally understood the principles that these people understood even better.

He's a businessman; how could he not understand the principle of hoarding rare goods?

He was one step ahead of everyone else, having already prepared a surprise attack before Wu Jiutong even defeated Cha Haishan.

Now, Du Fangkun has already begun to reap the rewards.

If these people want to get to know Wu Jiutong through him, they first need to know him. What is that?
That's what connections are all about!
Of course, Du Fangkun also knew that everything has two sides.

He is now representing Wu Jiutong to make friends with people, and while he is enjoying Wu Jiutong's limelight, if Wu Jiutong really fights with the Martial Sect and the Azure Sky Sect in the future, he will inevitably be affected.

but--

So what can we do?
Du Fangkun is not the only young generation in Tianyi Pavilion.

He still has several rivals if he wants to take over Tianyi Pavilion in the future.

How could he win without taking risks?

In business, you have to be willing to take risks when it matters.

"Senior Wu, these are the gifts those guys gave you as a greeting."

Du Fangkun bowed and said, "These guys are all masters of opportunism. They're all trying to curry favor with you now because they see your outstanding strength, Senior Wu, but if you ever fall into trouble, they'll definitely be the first to kick you when you're down!"

Seeing that Su Mu remained silent, Du Fangkun quickly said, "I'm not cursing you, Senior Wu, to fall into misfortune in the future. I'm just saying that none of these guys are worth getting close to."

After saying that, he felt that it was inappropriate to say it that way.

"What I mean is, Senior Wu, you need to be careful."

He said.

"I'm here to celebrate Emperor Wu's birthday, not to make friends."

Su Mu said calmly, "I accept the gift. As for the banquet, you can handle it."

By the way, tell them that my Wu family of Xiangzhou is skilled in weapon forging, and I myself am a weapon forger. If they need a weapon forger to make weapons, they can come to me. My skills are quite good.

The last immortal weapon Qiu Beisong bought before his death was made by me.

"understood!"

Du Fangkun rubbed his hands together, eager to try.

This is an attempt to capitalize on the hype and reap the rewards.

Now those guys are trying to befriend Wu Jiutong, this rising star. If word gets out that Wu Jiutong is a weapon-making master who can take on weapon-making business, what will they do?
Even if we don't need weapons, we still have to come and show our support.

Even if these people aren't powerful beings at the Heavenly Fate Realm, they are still elite disciples from various major forces, making them the most lucrative group.

Why was Du Fangkun so excited before?
Isn't it because this group of people are all the highest quality potential customers?

Du Fangkun looked at Su Mu with an expression of shared understanding.

"If someone actually asks me to forge weapons, you'll take a 10% cut."

Su Mu said calmly that he wouldn't let Du Fangkun work for nothing.

"No need for kickbacks. It's my honor to serve Senior Wu."

Du Fangkun quickly replied.

"I don't like owing people favors."

Su Mu said coldly.

Du Fangkun stopped refusing, knowing that too much of a good thing can be bad.

His relationship with Su Mu is now ahead of everyone else's. As long as he doesn't make any mistakes, when the Wu family of Xiangzhou rises in the future, he will be able to ride the wave and soar to new heights together.

Du Fangkun left with a sense of mission and high spirits.

When only one person remained in the room, Su Mu looked at the gifts laid out in front of him and a smile involuntarily appeared on his lips.

These gifts weren't particularly valuable, but even if these people's cultivation levels were low, they were still at the Heavenly Profound Realm, so their gifts wouldn't be too stingy.

All the gifts added up to a considerable sum.

This was an unexpected surprise.

One should never be too modest.

If he hadn't refused to be humiliated and hadn't resisted in anger, how could he have achieved such a result?
Respect is earned through strength.

If he had been defeated by Cha Haishan, not to mention these gifts, he himself would probably be a prisoner long ago.

"Strength is the foundation."

Su Mu thought to himself, recalling the scene when Fu Canglan, the sect leader of the Cangqiong Sect, rescued those Cangqiong Sect experts.

"When the Star Track Step is practiced to its peak, it has such power that even the Martial Ancestor could not touch the hem of his clothes."

Of course, this might also be because the Martial Ancestor didn't actually make a move; both sides were merely testing the waters.

Even so, it is enough to prove the power of the Star Trail Step.

Su Mu had been focusing his attention on "Guixu Yin" and, although he was somewhat interested in Xinggui Bu, he hadn't really paid much attention to it.

With the personal demonstration by Fu Canglan, the sect leader of the Azure Sky Sect, Su Mu finally took it seriously.

He silently brought up the system panel, glanced at the remaining points, and with a thought, added them to the Star Trail Step.

…………

"Brother Wu, please enlighten me."

The madman Zhu Feng blocked Su Mu's door and shouted loudly.

"I told you, you are no match for me."

Su Mudao.

“I know, but you can suppress your cultivation to the same level as mine, so that we can be evenly matched.”

"I am a madman," Zhu Feng said confidently.

Su Mu was speechless. You challenged someone whose cultivation was inferior to yours, and you voluntarily suppressed your cultivation. But why did you force others to do the same?
"I'll say it again: if you want to spar with me, then follow my rules. No betting, no sparring."

Su Mu said casually.

There was nothing wrong with playing with Zhu Feng, but since we're waiting for the Martial Ancestor's birthday banquet to begin, we might as well just relax and have nothing else to do.

However, now, thanks to Du Fangkun's skillful maneuvering, he has actually managed to secure quite a few weapon-making orders for him.

Why wouldn't you take advantage of spirit stones that are offered to you?

Moreover, he still needs points to upgrade "Guixu Yin" and "Xinggui Bu".

So he has been staying at home these past few days, spending all his time forging weapons, and has no time to waste with Zhu Feng.

To be honest, Cha Haishan was also muddle-headed.

If he hadn't been so aggressive back then, and had instead asked Su Mu to help forge weapons, Su Mu would have stayed indoors all the time, which would have had the same effect as house arrest.

Unfortunately, Cha Haishan did not foresee this, and in the end, he made a fool of himself.

"I know the rules!"

Without hesitation, the madman Zhu Feng said, and with a flick of his wrist, he pulled out a stone the size of an adult's fist from somewhere.

"Xiao Du said you're a weaponsmith. I have a piece of copper from Shoushan here. That should be enough as a wager!"

"Copper from Shoushan?"

Su Mu was slightly taken aback, then raised his hand and grabbed.

The rock, about the size of an adult's fist, flew into his hand in a flash.

Su Mu examined it carefully for a while and confirmed that it was indeed a piece of copper from Shoushan. He couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

As expected, the Taixu Sacred Realm is full of treasures.

How could there possibly be copper from the First Mountain in the outer realms?
The copper from Shoushan is a legendary divine material.

Legend has it that the first weaponsmith in the world once forged a sword in a place called Shoushan, and the material he used was copper from Shoushan.

The first sword in the world was forged from the copper of this Shou Mountain.

Over the centuries that followed, the copper from Shoushan was mined by countless generations, and now it has long since vanished, with no one even knowing where Shoushan was.

Therefore, the copper from this mountain is becoming increasingly rare, with each piece used being one less available.

Unexpectedly, the madman Zhu Feng actually found a piece of copper from Shoushan.

"In that case, let's do it."

Su Mu pondered for a moment; the value of the copper from Shou Mountain was already enough to warrant his investment.

With a loud shout, the madman Zhu Feng immediately drew his broadsword, which was as thick as a door panel, and slashed at Su Mu with the sound of wind and thunder.

With one hand holding the bronze from Shoushan and the other behind his back, Su Mu lightly moved his feet and dodged the broadsword of the madman Zhu Feng.

Swish!
Swish!
Swish!
The madman Zhu Feng unleashed a flurry of moves, one after another, and in an instant, sword shadows filled the sky, emitting sharp whistling sounds.

At the same time, the energy behind him transformed into a ten-foot-tall phantom, which, together with the madman Zhu Feng, launched an attack on Su Mu.

Su Mu's eyes lit up.

This madman Zhu Feng isn't very strong, but he has a lot of tricks up his sleeve.

His ingenious ideas, especially in combat, were a real eye-opener for Su Mu.

He moved nimbly, moving freely amidst the attacks of the madman Zhu Feng.

Su Mu only defended and did not attack.

But no matter how fierce Zhu Feng's attacks were, they could never touch the hem of his clothes.

The madman Zhu Feng also became more and more courageous in the battle. He discovered that Su Mu's footwork this time was completely different from before.

Every time he fought Su Mu, he learned something new from him.

This time, he's determined to master this footwork!
Madman Zhu Feng's eyes were burning as he attacked while carefully observing Su Mu's footwork.

Unbeknownst to him, the footwork Su Mu was using was the Star Track Step of the Azure Sky Sect.

To be precise, this was Su Mu's enlightenment after he had cultivated the Star Track Step of the Azure Sky Sect to perfection and returned to simplicity.

The essence of the Star Trail Step has been completely integrated into his footwork.

Judging from his movements alone, his footwork is completely different from the Star Track Step of the Azure Sky Sect.

However, the profound meaning contained in the footwork comes from the Star Track Step.

Madman Zhu Feng was unaware of all this; he simply felt that Su Mu's footwork was exquisite and unparalleled, so he wanted to learn it from him.

Although Su Mu knew this, he did not stop him, and took the opportunity to fully demonstrate the footwork he had just mastered.

Madman Zhu Feng is a good opponent; he can take this opportunity to familiarize himself with his footwork.

After a short while, Su Mu moved slightly, bumping his shoulder against the chest of the madman Zhu Feng, and then suddenly took a few steps back to his feet.

pedal!
pedal!
pedal!
The madman Zhu Feng retreated more than ten steps, using his broadsword to support himself before he could barely regain his balance.

His face showed no sign of frustration, but rather excitement.

"I understand."

The madman Zhu Feng shouted, "Let me go back and think of a solution before I challenge you again!"

After saying that, he strode away without waiting for Su Mu's reply.

As for the copper from Shoushan, the madman Zhu Feng showed no sign of reluctance.

Su Mu tossed the heavy piece of Shoushan copper in his hand, a slight smile playing on his lips.

"The Martial Sect is truly my lucky place. There are people to practice with and people eager to give me treasures."

Su Mu thought to himself, "I want to stay in this place forever."

Su Mu took the copper from Shoushan and returned to the house.

We still need to keep earning the spirit stones needed to forge weapons.

…………

Su Mu originally thought that his days of abundant wealth would continue until the Martial Ancestor's birthday banquet.

But just three days before the Martial Ancestor's birthday banquet.

suddenly.

An uninvited guest arrived at his door.

Since Du Fangkun became Su Mu's representative, apart from the madman Zhu Feng who would challenge Su Mu every now and then, almost everyone else had to go through Du Fangkun first and obtain Su Mu's permission before they could visit him.

Now someone has actually barged into Su Mu's house; this is definitely a dereliction of duty on Du Fangkun's part.

Su Mu put down the weapon he had half-forged and went outside, somewhat annoyed.

He decided that if Du Fangkun couldn't give him a reasonable explanation, he would have to give Du Fangkun a good talking-to.

"A small family from a poor, remote area, yet they have such a big attitude."

As soon as Su Mu opened the door, he heard a cold snort.

Su Mu looked up and saw a middle-aged man standing in the courtyard with his hands behind his back, while Du Fangkun stood listlessly to the side, his face bruised and swollen.

Su Mu narrowed his eyes slightly, his gaze falling on the middle-aged man.

Du Fangkun was, after all, a guest invited by Wu Zong. How dare the other party beat Du Fangkun like this? They didn't take Wu Zong seriously at all.

This person is either a member of the Wuzong faction or someone who is not afraid of the Wuzong faction.

Not being afraid of Emperor Wuzong does not mean that one should provoke him in this way.

The fact that the other party did this makes his identity obvious.

Su Mu never expected that, after what had happened before, the people from the Azure Sky Sect could still appear so openly within the Martial Sect.

"Senior Wu, he was sent by the Azure Sky Sect to offer birthday greetings to the Martial Ancestor—"

Du Fangkun spoke up to remind Su Mu.

Before he could finish speaking, the middle-aged man gave him a cold look.

With a cold snort, Du Fangkun was struck dumb, swallowing back the words he was about to say, and retreating backward several steps.

Su Mu flicked his sleeve.

With a series of soft crackling sounds, Du Fangkun breathed a sigh of relief and retreated to the edge of the yard.

If Su Mu hadn't intervened and neutralized the middle-aged man's aura, he would likely have been seriously injured today.

"Xiao Du, you can go out now."

Su Mu said calmly.

People from the Azure Sky Sect have arrived; their intentions are not good.

Du Fangkun bowed to Su Mu before leaving.

He staggered towards the mountain of the Martial Sect, wanting to ask someone from the Martial Sect to intervene. He knew that none of the guests invited by the Martial Sect would be willing to offend the Azure Sky Sect for Su Mu's sake, but the Martial Sect would not allow the Azure Sky Sect to act recklessly.

When Du Fangkun arrived at the gate of Wuzong Mountain, he was stopped by two Wuzong disciples.

"Gentlemen, there are people from the Azure Sky Sect causing trouble at the guests' accommodations. You should send someone to maintain order immediately."

Du Fangkun said urgently.

"Nonsense. Who would dare cause trouble on Wuzong's territory?"

The two martial arts disciples said.

"It's the Azure Sky Sect—"

"Nonsense. I just came from over there, how come I didn't see anything? Besides, as a Martial Sect expert, I keep an eye on the surrounding area for a hundred miles at all times. I will notice any movement. Don't cause trouble, just go do what you're supposed to do."

The two martial arts disciples said that Du Fangkun was absolutely not allowed to go up the mountain.

Du Fangkun noticed the mocking expressions on their faces and felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave.

He understood that the Martial Sect was simply allowing the people of the Azure Sky Sect to go after Wu Jiutong!
Wu Jiutong defeated Cha Haishan, the eldest disciple of Wuzong, in public, which was a slap in the face to Wuzong.

The Martial Ancestor might not care, but the disciples of the Martial Sect certainly disliked Su Mu.

Out of fear of the Martial Ancestor's majesty, no Martial Sect disciple would dare to cause trouble for Wu Jiutong. However, if someone else did cause trouble for Wu Jiutong, they would definitely turn a blind eye and would absolutely not help Wu Jiutong.

"You will regret it!"

Du Fangkun gritted his teeth and limped back the way he came.

…………

"No need to look, no one will come."

The middle-aged man said coldly, "You are Wu Jiutong?"

Su Mu's gaze swept over his surroundings.

In the distance, the guests invited by Emperor Wuzong watched from afar, and no one approached.

Although they wanted to befriend Su Mu, this rising star, no one would risk offending the Azure Sky Sect for Su Mu's sake.

As for the disciples of the Martial Sect, not a single one could be seen.

Su Mu understood immediately.

Wu Zong was deliberately indulging this powerful figure from the Azure Sky Sect.

It is unclear whether this was instructed by the Martial Ancestor or acted on his own without authorization.

However, it's likely that the Martial Ancestor didn't know.

If one didn't even have this much magnanimity, the Martial Ancestor wouldn't have been able to cultivate to this level.

Furthermore, given Martial Ancestor's cultivation level, if he truly wanted to make things difficult for him, he had plenty of ways to do so, without needing to rely on others, especially his enemies.

Therefore, no one will interfere with them in the short term.

"Since you know who I am, why ask again?"

Su Mu said calmly.

"As expected of your arrogance. It seems that you really might have killed Junior Brother Qiu."

The middle-aged man snorted coldly, "Since that's the case—"

suddenly.

His voice became somewhat erratic, as if it were coming from all directions at once.

At the same time, his pupils suddenly dilated, and in the blink of an eye, his entire eyeball turned black.

On the black eyeball, swirling vortexes appeared, like a black hole.

"Wu Jiutong, tell me, did you kill Qiu Beisong?"

The middle-aged man asked in a strange tone.

Su Mu looked dazed, as if he had become a puppet on a string.

"I--"

"stop!"

Just as Su Mu was about to speak, a sound of wind breaking abruptly arose.

Suddenly, a broadsword the size of a door descended from the sky and slashed down at the middle-aged man.

The middle-aged man instinctively turned to the side to avoid it, a look of embarrassment and annoyance on his face.

"you wanna die!"

He roared angrily, and his figure swayed.

Just hear a bang.

Madman Zhu Feng had already flown away like a kite with a broken string, and even the broadsword in his hand had flown away to who knows where.

He flew hundreds of feet away, knocking Du Fangkun, who was rushing back, to the ground. The two of them rolled on the ground like gourds, spitting out blood at the same time.

When the middle-aged man turned around, Su Mu had already broken free and was looking at him with an icy expression.

Su Mu was now filled with rage.

I almost fell into their trap!
I was so bewitched by the other party that I almost revealed the truth.

If the Azure Sky Sect finds out that he is the real murderer who killed Qiu Beisong and has also learned the "Return to the Void" technique, things will get very troublesome.

Most importantly, his true identity must never be exposed, otherwise he will become a rat in the street in the Taixu Sacred Realm, hated by everyone.

The Seventy-Two Thieves are an untouchable taboo in the Taixu Sacred Realm; anyone associated with them will meet a gruesome end.

If Su Mu's true form were here, he would definitely not be controlled by the opponent's secret technique.

His physical body cultivates the Great Evolution Technique, and has already reached the perfect state, making his soul stable and indestructible.

To bewitch his mind, the Heavenly Venerable himself would have to intervene.

However, he is now an avatar, and this avatar specializes in physical martial arts. The soul is precisely the weakness of this avatar.

That's why he was fooled by the other party's secret technique and almost revealed the truth.

If it weren't for the madman Zhu Feng intervening at the crucial moment, he would probably have already gotten a lot of information out of him.

Thinking about all this, Su Mu felt a wave of fear.

He was ultimately a bit careless.

With a grateful look at the madman Zhu Feng and the hurriedly returning Du Fangkun, Su Mu's murderous aura suddenly erupted.

"Wu Jiutong—"

The middle-aged man from the Azure Sky Sect wanted to use the same trick again.

But just as his ethereal voice rang out, a gust of wind swept over him, instantly silencing the words he was about to say.

Su Mu was already in front of him and threw a punch.

boom!
Su Mu's upper body clothes instantly turned to ashes, and his almost perfect muscle lines were revealed by the flickering flames.

He was like a god of fire descended to earth, unleashing a furious attack with raging flames.

boom! boom! boom!
The muffled sound echoed in the air.

The crowd could only hear its voice, but could not see its form.

Su Mu and the middle-aged man moved so fast that they were almost invisible to the naked eye.

The onlookers in the distance all showed expressions of surprise.

They were well aware of Su Mu's strength; not long ago, they had personally witnessed Su Mu's battle against Cha Haishan, the eldest disciple of the Martial Sect.

Even Cha Haishan, the eldest disciple of the Martial Sect, lost a move.

Who is this person from the Azure Sky Sect?
He was actually able to fight Su Mu to a standstill.

The Azure Sky Sect has countless powerful figures, some of whom are famous throughout the world, while others are naturally low-key.

Clearly, this middle-aged man is the kind of person who is naturally low-key.

He was clearly very powerful and came from the Azure Sky Sect, but surprisingly, no one present had ever heard of him.

"Even the madman Zhu Feng couldn't withstand a single move from him. This person's cultivation is at least at the mid-stage of the Heavenly Fate Realm!"

“A mid-stage Heavenly Fate Realm cultivator can’t defeat Madman Zhu Feng in one move. I guess he must be an old monster at the high-stage Heavenly Fate Realm.”

The crowd watched the battle while whispering amongst themselves.

"The Azure Sky Sect is indeed deeply rooted. Even a random person from it possesses such strength. If the Martial Sect wants to take its place, the road ahead will be long and arduous."

While everyone was discussing this, Du Fangkun and Zhu Feng helped each other to their feet.

"Zhu Feng, Senior Wu, is this feasible?"

Du Fangkun asked with some concern.

The madman Zhu Feng reverted to his honest self, shaking his head obediently.

"I don't know. I don't know how capable Brother Wu is, but this man is a formidable enemy."

He spoke slowly.

Although he had challenged Su Mu many times, he never knew how strong Su Mu really was.

If you asked him to describe it, the only word would be "unfathomable".

However, the middle-aged man from the Azure Sky Sect was equally unfathomable.

Whether the two are more unfathomable is beyond Zhu Feng's comprehension.

His strength is still far behind the two of them, so much so that he can't even say for sure how strong they are.

"No problem, there's definitely no problem."

Du Fangkun muttered to himself, unsure whether he was comforting Zhu Feng or himself.

"Senior Wu can defeat Cha Haishan, so he can definitely defeat this person too. This person is completely unknown; I don't even know him—"

Although Du Fangkun said that, he couldn't hide the tension on his face.

Everyone knows that reputation and ability are not necessarily proportional.

Wu Jiutong wasn't a well-known name before, but he still managed to defeat Zha Haishan in one battle.

As the number one sect in the world, the Azure Sky Sect has countless powerful figures within it. Many of these powerful figures may have been active hundreds of years ago, and then gradually disappeared, so people today do not recognize them.

But their strength is absolutely beyond measure.

The middle-aged man from the Azure Sky Sect standing before me might just be one of those old monsters.

Before Du Fangkun's self-comfort could have any effect, a muffled thunderous sound reached his ears.

Two figures separated in mid-air. One figure retreated rapidly, crashing into a wall with a loud bang before regaining its footing.

He was slightly hunched over, with a clear fist mark on his chest that looked quite alarming.

"Senior Wu!"

Du Fangkun exclaimed in surprise.

The one who was repelled was actually Su Mu!
Not only Du Fangkun, but also the crowd watching from afar showed expressions of shock.

You know, Wu Jiutong defeated Cha Haishan before, and now he has been defeated by this middle-aged man from the Cangqiong Sect. Doesn't that mean that the middle-aged man from the Cangqiong Sect is stronger than Cha Haishan?

What's wrong with this world? Why are so many powerful people emerging? Are they even letting ordinary powerful people like us live?

"If you don't eat the toast, you will be punished with a drink."

The middle-aged man from the Azure Sky Sect stood with his hands behind his back in the air, looking down at Su Mu, and said coldly.

"Do you think that just because you defeated Cha Haishan by one move, you can act presumptuously in front of me?"

Don't say I didn't give you a chance. Now, answer whatever I ask.

If you conceal even the slightest thing, I guarantee you won't even have the chance to be reincarnated.

He stood suspended in mid-air, his clothes swaying gently in the breeze, making him appear ethereal and otherworldly.

However, the expression on his face was like the coldest part of winter, making anyone who looked at him feel cold all over.

Su Mu slowly straightened up.

Heaving heat rose from his body, and the shocking fist mark on his bare upper body disappeared at a visible speed.

At the same time, the flames on his body became even hotter.

The flames continued to rise, eventually coalescing into a fire giant several meters tall.

Su Mu stood inside the fire giant's body. He stomped his foot lightly, and the fire giant stomped his foot in response.

Boom!

The earth trembled.

Houses within a radius of several dozen feet collapsed instantly, and dust filled the air.

Those watching from afar, fearing they would be caught in the crossfire, quickly retreated.

Even Du Fangkun and Zhu Feng couldn't help but step back.

This level of fighting is beyond their ability to get involved in.

With such a commotion, even if the people of the Martial Sect were all deaf, they would definitely have heard it.

However, not a single Martial Grandmaster appeared.

If it were said that the Martial Ancestor was in seclusion breaking through to the Great Perfection realm and was not concerned with external affairs, that could be explained.

However, besides the Martial Ancestor, the Martial Sect is not without other powerful figures.

The fact that even the powerful figures haven't shown up only proves that the Martial Sect is deliberately standing by.

"Indeed, it bears some resemblance to the law of heaven and earth."

The middle-aged man looked at Su Mu without any surprise on his face and slowly said, "It seems you're prepared to put up a stubborn resistance."

Since that's the case, then you—"

"So much nonsense!"

He hasn't finished speaking yet.

The fire giant had already soared into the sky.

In an instant, the sky was illuminated red by the flames.

Within a radius of several hundred feet, the vegetation withered and the land was scorched.

boom!
The middle-aged man from the Azure Sky Sect crossed his arms to block Su Mu's sudden attack, but he was also thrown into the air by the immense force.

His face showed an expression of shame and anger, and a strange light suddenly shot out from his eyes.

hum!
An invisible force rapidly spread through the air.

Su Mu felt the scenery before him change.

He felt as if he had left the Martial Sect and was now in a boundless starry sky, where the stars were even within reach.

"Wu Jiutong! Surrender at once!"

A voice, seemingly possessed by divine authority, appeared in Su Mu's ears.

Immediately afterwards, a face that blotted out the sky appeared above him, looking down at him.

That face was so large that compared to it, even the Heaven and Earth Manifestation Technique that the Martial Ancestor had previously used seemed insignificant.

The fire giant that Su Mu condensed appeared as small as an ant beneath that face.

call!
That face blew a breath.

In an instant, a storm swept across the starry sky, and wherever it passed, stars perished.

Su Mu felt his condensed fire giant, with a single breath from the opponent, about to be extinguished like a candle flame. (End of Chapter)
