The First Marquis of Daxuan

The Sacred Realm of Taixu is vast and boundless.

In the very center of the continent, there lies a land uninhabited.

That area is shrouded in a perpetual white mist, and is fraught with danger, making it completely unsuitable for human habitation.

But even in such a place, martial artists from all sides of the Taixu Sacred Realm flocked to it.

There is no other reason.

Because this place has a name, Yinxu.

Legend has it that in ancient times, there was a super dynasty called Yin.

At that time, there were no sects or clans in the world; everything was under the rule of the Yin Dynasty.

All under heaven belongs to the king, and all within the four seas are the king's subjects.

The Yin Dynasty was incredibly powerful, ruling the world for tens of thousands of years.

But this powerful dynasty suddenly collapsed one day.

The original capital of the Yin Dynasty became the Yin Ruins.

After the fall of the Yin Dynasty, the world went through a long period of darkness, and the reasons for its demise were lost in that dark period.

However, because the Yin Dynasty collapsed suddenly, many treasures in the capital of the Yin Dynasty could not be moved in time and were all left in the Yin Ruins.

However, because countless powerful individuals died in the capital of the Yin Dynasty back then, over the years, countless powerful undead were also born here.

Furthermore, there are various untraceable reasons that led to the Yin Ruins becoming what they are today.

It was fraught with danger, yet also fraught with opportunity.

In the Sacred Realm of the Great Void, people often obtain great opportunities in the Yin Ruins and then soar to great heights.

When Su Mu first came to the Taixu Sacred Realm, he was entrusted by Jiang Yizheng, the master weapon forger of Chunfeng City, to go to Yinxu to find the Heavenly Mandate Pill.

However, now that Jiang Yizheng has passed away, the Heavenly Mandate Pill is naturally no longer needed.

However, Su Mu still has the map that Jiang Yizheng gave him back then.

Su Mu himself never imagined that his first visit to Yin Ruins would be accompanied by Ning Hongchen.

Ning Hongchen walked in front, while Su Mu followed behind like a bodyguard.

Along the way, Su Mu observed for a long time, but still couldn't tell whether Ning Hongchen was his real body or an avatar.

Ning Hongchen's incarnation technique is different from others'. He cultivates his incarnation with his own body, and after achieving this, the incarnation and the original body are almost indistinguishable.

Apart from the person himself, it is almost impossible for outsiders to distinguish between the incarnation and the real person.

Su Mu was naturally aware of this.

He estimated that, given Ning Hongchen's cautious nature, the one before him was probably an avatar, not the real person.

Su Mu himself did the same thing.

The person accompanying Ning Hongchen to Yinxu was his incarnation.

In any case, his avatar had already cultivated the Wu Family Fire Rock Body to the Great Perfection Realm, the Eight-Nine Mysterious Technique had also reached the Perfection Realm, and he had also cultivated the Star Track Step and the Return to the Void Guide, and even mastered the Nine Transformations of Cloud Seal.

His current avatar is only slightly weaker than his original body.

It's more than enough time to explore the Yin Ruins.

"We've arrived at Yin Ruins, Ning Hongchen. Now you can tell me what you're looking for."

Su Mu spoke up.

"I do not know either."

Ning Hongchen spread his hands and spoke.

"You don't know either?"

Su Mu raised an eyebrow, angrily saying, "I don't know why you called me here? To try your luck?"

If their cultivation levels are low, then it's normal for them to come to Yin Ruins to try their luck and gamble on a chance to turn their fortunes around.

But both of them are Heavenly Fate Realm experts, already standing at the pinnacle of martial arts. Why would they come to Yin Ruins to try their luck?
Even during the height of the Yin Dynasty, there were probably few powerful figures under its command who were stronger than them.

Look around the Yin Ruins, how many powerful beings at the Heavenly Fate Realm are there?

"You could interpret it as taking a chance, that's not wrong either."

Ning Hongchen shrugged and said, "But I prefer to call it, deciphering."

"If you could learn to speak your mind, we might get along much better."

Su Mu said coldly.

These guys are always trying to act mysterious, thinking it will make them seem profound, but they're just bored and have nothing better to do.

"Ok."

Ning Hongchen said helplessly, "You know what happened to the Martial Grandmaster of the Taixu Sacred Realm, right?"

Not only did the Void Beasts appear in the East Sea of ​​the Outer Regions, but they also appeared in the Martial Sect.

Leaving aside those in the outer East Sea, I suspect that the Void Beast that Wuzong encountered came from the Yin Ruins. Do you understand?

"You mean to say that Cha Haishan and Beigong Ye might be hiding in the Yin Ruins?"

Su Mu stroked his chin and said.

Ning Hongchen was stunned for a moment. "I'm talking to you about the Void Beast. What are you talking about?"

Ning Hongchen was so confused by Su Mu's unconventional way of thinking that she didn't know how to continue.

"Your interpretation is also acceptable."

After a long while, Ning Hongchen said helplessly, "I suspect that there may be a passage leading to the Ruins Realm within the Yin Ruins. That's why I asked you to come along, to explore it."

Why are you so concerned about the Void Beast?

Su Mu looked at Ning Hongchen and asked, "Who exactly are you?"

"I am Ning Hongchen."

Ning Hongchen said casually, "Aren't you interested in the Void Beast?"
This is something that any normal person would be interested in.

To be honest, I've always wanted to capture a Void Beast to study.

What do you think the effect of yin and yang harmonizing is?

Su Mu: "..."

He knew that Ning Hongchen was deliberately talking nonsense to change the subject.

Su Mu had some guesses about Ning Hongchen's true identity, but he didn't have any evidence yet.

"Since you have this guess, which direction should we go now?"

Su Mu didn't press the matter, but instead asked a question.

"This way."

Ning Hongchen casually pointed and stepped forward.

Su Mu suspected that Ning Hongchen was just wandering around aimlessly, but he had no proof.

Anyway, he and Ning Hongchen had agreed that he would help him for three years, so it didn't matter if Ning Hongchen wandered off randomly.

Su Mu followed Ning Hongchen deeper into the Yin Ruins.

…………

boom!
Su Mu extended one hand forward, holding a translucent Yin spirit that exuded a chilling aura. With a slight exertion, he crushed the Yin spirit into powder.

Sensing the scattered spirits, Su Mu's face showed a thoughtful expression.

"These are formed from the resentment of the dead after absorbing the filth of heaven and earth. They have nothing to do with the human soul. In a sense, they can be considered a completely new kind of creature."

Ning Hongchen said leisurely. Judging from his appearance, he didn't seem to be here to explore the ruins, but rather to go on a picnic.

If he encountered any danger, he wouldn't even lift a finger; instead, he would simply hide behind Su Mu.

"Su Mu, do you know why the spiritual energy in this world is sometimes pure and sometimes impure?"

Ning Hongchen said.

"do not know."

Su Mu answered very cooperatively.

He knew that Ning Hongchen knew too many secrets, so since Ning Hongchen had the desire to confide, he naturally had to seize the opportunity and give Ning Hongchen a chance to speak.

"In fact, this world is divided into two aspects: yin and yang. Yang is pure, and yin is turbid."

The more turbid air there is in a place, the thinner the barrier between that place and the ruins.

"If the Void Beasts want to invade our Yang Realm, then places with dense, turbid energy will be the best entry points."

Ning Hongchen casually said, "The turbid air in this Yin Ruins is so dense that it can nourish the Yin spirits, so I have always suspected that there is actually a passage that has been opened up here that leads to the Ruins Realm."

"It's just that we don't know what the Void Beasts are plotting, which is why we haven't launched a large-scale invasion."

The Void Realm, also known as the Yin Realm, is the yin side of the world and the world where the Void Beasts live.

"Do the Void Beasts possess intelligence?"

Su Mu asked.

"Isn't that obvious? What do you think the Void Beast is?"

Ning Hongchen said irritably, "A wild beast?"
They are different from wild beasts, and even different from demons.

They are just like us humans, only their external forms are different.

They, too, possess their own wisdom, their own language, and even their own kingdoms.

Su Mu nodded, a thoughtful look on his face.

He was indeed narrow-minded.

He always viewed the Void Beasts from a human perspective, just like how people discussed aliens in his previous life.

Aliens don't necessarily have to be in the form of "humans".

There are countless races in this world, and "humans" are not the only chosen ones.

Just like the siblings Huanbing and Huanchen, they look like humans, but they can't really be considered human.

They are the Celestial God Clan.

The same applies to the Void Beast.

The Void Beasts are the rulers of the Void Realm; perhaps in their eyes, the human form is abnormal.

"When dealing with the Void Beasts, you must ignore their appearance and treat them as real people. They are quite intelligent and also understand tactics and strategies."

If you don't change this mindset, you'll suffer greatly at their hands sooner or later.

Ning Hongchen said.

"So, you think that although the Void Beasts have mastered the passage to invade the Yang Realm, they are not in a hurry to invade for strategic reasons, but are planning something?"

Su Mu pondered.

He recalled what had happened on Emperor Wuzong's throne.

If it weren't for his appearance, Cha Haishan and Beigongye might have succeeded.

Then no Void Beast would appear, and Cha Haishan could take over the Martial Sect in a logical manner.

If Cha Haishan really colluded with the Void Beast, then he might be a pawn in the Void Beast's invasion of the Yang Realm.

Now that he has ruined this move, hasn't he also offended the Void Beasts of the Void Realm?

Fortunately, he was using the identity of Wu Jiutong at the time, so even Cha Haishan and Beigong Ye did not know his true identity, and they could not find him even if they wanted to.

"Ning Hongchen, how much do you know about Beigong Tianzun?"
Why would his son, Beigong Ye, collude with the Void Beasts?

Su Mu asked in confusion.

"I don't know him, I don't understand him, I don't know him."

Ning Hongchen immediately denied it three times in a row: "The Celestial Venerable is high above us, and we are just a nobody. How could we have the opportunity to deal with the Celestial Venerable?"
Don't worry about his reasons. Anyone who colludes with the Void Beasts should be killed on sight.

As they spoke, the two had already ventured deep into the Yin Ruins.

Amidst the surrounding ruins, one can vaguely glimpse the former glory of the Yin Dynasty.

But even the most glorious dynasties cannot withstand the power of time.

Su Mu sensed the turbid air growing heavier. If Ning Hongchen's theory was correct, then they might be approaching the passage to the Void Realm.

Su Mu became more vigilant, constantly monitoring the changes in his surroundings.

"Ok?"

Just then, Su Mu suddenly realized that the surrounding environment was somewhat familiar.

He tapped his brow, and a map suddenly popped into his mind.

"What a coincidence?"

A hint of surprise flashed in Su Mu's eyes.

This was his first time visiting Yinxu, and the reason he felt familiar with the place was because he had seen a map of it before.

Spring Breeze City, the master of weapon forging, Jiang Yizheng.

The other party had once hired Su Mu to search for the Heavenly Destiny Pill in Yin Ruins and gave Su Mu a map. The map showed a place where the Heavenly Destiny Pill might be located, which was not far in front of Su Mu.

Su Mu hadn't expected that it would be such a coincidence that he ended up here.

If you do not take what Heaven offers, you will suffer the consequences.

The Heavenly Fate Pill is also a good thing. Although Su Mu no longer needs it, Luo Anning, Dongfang Liuyun, and the others still need it.

Even if you don't use it yourself, this kind of pill that can increase the chances of breaking through to the Heavenly Fate Realm is priceless.

"Ning Hongchen, I sense something ahead. Wait for me."

Su Mu spoke without hesitation.

Before Ning Hongchen could speak, Su Mu had already moved swiftly, heading towards the place marked on the map as potentially containing the Heavenly Fate Pill.

“I said, you came here to protect me, what kind of behavior is it to abandon your employer and run away?”

If I'm attacked by a ghost, can you take responsibility?

Ning Hongchen cursed loudly.

Su Mu pursed his lips, pretending not to hear.

Is Ning Hongchen afraid of being attacked by evil spirits?

Stop it.

Even if Ning Hongchen stood still, ordinary Yin spirits could not harm him in the slightest.

This old guy's physical cultivation is no less than Su Mu's.

In all his life, Su Mu had seen that, apart from himself, only the Martial Ancestor of the Martial Sect could rival Ning Hongchen in terms of physical cultivation.

This kind of person could be said to be able to sweep through the Yin Ruins.

While inwardly grumbling, Su Mu's men had already arrived at the location marked on the map.

It was a large hall that had collapsed halfway. The plaque at the entrance of the hall had disappeared, and its original purpose was no longer visible.

Without much hesitation, Su Mu pushed open the main hall door.

There was a squeak.

As the door opened, a sudden gust of black smoke rushed out.

Su Mu snorted coldly, raised his hand and grabbed a Yin spirit in his hand.

The evil spirit twisted and howled.

But Su Mu showed no mercy, unleashing his power to instantly blast the Yin spirit to pieces.

Then Su Mu stepped into the palace.

With a flick of his sleeve, a gust of wind blew away the foul odor from the main hall.

Su Mu looked intently at the hall, his gaze sweeping over the entire space in an instant.

The main hall was in a mess, with several skeletons and an overturned alchemy furnace on the ground.

The flames in the alchemy furnace had long since gone out, and the furnace was filled with ash.

It was clear that the people inside the main hall were refining elixirs when the incident occurred.

They died before they could even escape.

What exactly happened during the Yin Dynasty?
A hint of doubt flashed through Su Mu's mind.

Ning Hongchen said he came to decipher a mystery. Could the secret he was going to uncover be the secret behind the downfall of the Yin Dynasty?
The thought flashed through his mind, and Su Mu continued searching the palace.

Soon, he found a purple-gold gourd in the ruins.

He turned the gourd upside down, and several round pills immediately appeared in his hand.

Su Mu picked up a pill, smelled it, then scraped off a little powder and tasted it, a smile involuntarily appearing on his face.

"The Heavenly Mandate Pill! Jiang Yizheng wasn't lying, there really is a Heavenly Mandate Pill here!"

Su Mu was overjoyed. He scanned the gourd with his divine sense and counted a full hundred Heavenly Fate Pills! Now, everyone in the Taiping Division would have no worries about not having enough pills to break through to the Heavenly Fate Realm.

Just as Su Mu was feeling joyful holding the purple-gold gourd, Ning Hongchen walked in with his hands behind his back.

"Hey, you're lucky, kid. You actually found the Pill Hall of Shi Zhen, the alchemy master of the Yin Dynasty."

Ning Hongchen said with a hint of mockery.

Shi Zhen, the master alchemist?

Su Mu calmly put away the purple-gold gourd.

"At this time, Zhen was the most famous alchemist in the Yin Dynasty. You've heard of the Qiankun Creation Method, right?"
The earliest origins of this method of creation can be traced back to Shi Zhen.

One of the Seventy-Two Sages was inspired by Li Shizhen back then…

Ning Hongchen said mysteriously.

Su Mu's heart skipped a beat, and he glanced at Ning Hongchen.

While others spoke of seventy-two thieves, Ning Hongchen referred to them as seventy-two sages.

If Ning Hongchen had nothing to do with them, Su Mu would have swallowed the alchemy furnace!
"So what? No matter how skilled he was in alchemy, didn't he end up as a pile of bones?"

Su Mu said calmly.

"That's true."

Ning Hongchen nodded in agreement, "What use is even the strongest cultivation in the face of time?"

He was filled with emotion, but a smile immediately appeared on his face.

"Since this is Shizhen's alchemy hall, we might even be able to find Shizhen's alchemy techniques here."

As far as I know, one of the Seventy-Two Sages of the past received the alchemical teachings of Li Shizhen before he had fully mastered alchemy.

As Ning Hongchen spoke, he actually began searching around.

Su Mu's heart skipped a beat.

Ning Hongchen may seem to speak casually, but he would never speak without a purpose.

Su Mu even felt that Ning Hongchen had a purpose in sending him to Yinxu.

Could it be that Ning Hongchen had planned this all along?

Su Mu became more vigilant, but his face remained impassive.

Even if Ning Hongchen didn't say anything, Su Mu would still thoroughly search the entire hall.

Now that Ning Hongchen has started searching, Su Mu naturally won't fall behind.

He began to carefully examine the hall from another direction.

A moment later, before Su Mu had made any progress, he heard Ning Hongchen's loud laughter.

"Haha, it had to be me after all."

Ning Hongchen laughed loudly, "Su Mu, I'm just asking you whether you're convinced or not."

"Look, I've actually found the lineage of Shizhen's alchemy!"

Su Mu looked up at the sound and saw Ning Hongchen standing in the collapsed ruins, holding a yellowed manual in his hand, as if he had just dug it out of the ruins.

"The Compendium of Heaven and Earth!"

Ning Hongchen smiled and said, "It is said that Shizhen wrote two books in his life. One is the Universal Alchemy Technique obtained by one of the Seventy-Two Sages, and the other is this Book of Heaven and Earth Medicines."

I've heard that Shizhen once traveled the world, and even visited the Void Realm. This Heavenly Medicine Compendium is a record he made of all the medicinal herbs in the world, including many unique to the Void Realm..."

Ning Hongchen explained in great detail. Those who knew him knew that he had just found the "Compendium of Pharmacopoeia of Heaven and Earth," while those who didn't might have thought that he had some connection with Shizhen.

"Why are you telling me all this? This Compendium of Medicinal Herbs has nothing to do with me."

Su Mu's heart skipped a beat, but he said expressionlessly.

"It's the rule in the underworld that you split the spoils when you meet."

Ning Hongchen chuckled, "Old Ning, I'm not an unconventional person. Since we came together, we should naturally share what we gain."

"So, you're saying you still want a share of the pills I found?"

Su Mudao.

"That won't happen."

Ning Hongchen shook his head and said, "With my current cultivation level, no pills are of any use to me. What would I do with those things?"
Unlike you, I don't have to support so many people.

"Besides, I won't lose anything by letting you take a look at this manual."

Ning Hongchen was very generous and simply tossed the book of medicine to Su Mu.

Seeing the Heavenly Pharmacopoeia flying towards him, Su Mu instinctively reached out to catch it.

Although no one knows what tricks Ning Hongchen is up to, it's only fair to take advantage of a benefit that's offered to you.

Su Mu casually opened the Heavenly Pharmacopoeia and began reading it on the spot.

Ning Hongchen remained calm and collected, constantly fiddling with the bricks and stones, seemingly searching for something else.

But more than anything, it seemed like he was giving Su Mu time.

Su Mu read very quickly, almost ten lines at a glance.

He quickly flipped through the entire book of medicines, his eyes filled with shock.

Su Mu had already cultivated the Qiankun Creation Technique to perfection. Whether it was weapon forging or pill refining, Su Mu believed that his skills had reached the pinnacle, even surpassing those of his senior uncle, Grand Master Li, one of the Seventy-Two Thieves.

Having mastered both alchemy and weapon forging to their peak, Su Mu's understanding of rare and precious materials was naturally unmatched.

But now Su Mu realized how shallow he had been.

This Pharmacopoeia records 35,728 kinds of spiritual medicines and rare herbs.

Of these, Su Mu could probably only recognize less than 20,000 species.

Of the remaining species, there are over ten thousand that he doesn't recognize.

While some of these things do come from the Void Realm, many others exist in the Yang Realm.

The world is vast, and there are countless natural treasures. Even if one spends a lifetime, one may not be able to recognize them all.

Fortunately, by standing on the shoulders of giants, he can save a lot of effort.

"A good book."

Su Mu slowly spoke, returning the book of medicine to Ning Hongchen.

He had memorized all 30,000 kinds of rare and precious herbs in the book.

"That is certainly a good book."

Ning Hongchen chuckled and casually put away the Heaven and Earth Medicine Compendium. "Back then, the Yin Dynasty was far more powerful than any sect today. They ruled the entire Yang Realm."

Shi Zhen enjoyed the deep trust of the emperor of the Yin Dynasty at the time, who personally sent people to protect him as he traveled the world to collect medicinal herbs.

"Nowadays, no one could possibly walk the path he once walked."

"is it?"

Su Mu gave a perfunctory reply.

"You do not believe?"

Ning Hongchen said, "Nowadays, all the famous mountains and rivers in the world have been occupied by various sects. If you want to go to their territory to collect spiritual herbs, do you think they will agree?"

Besides, try going to the Void Realm now; those Void Beasts would surely devour you alive.

Seeing that Su Mu still seemed indifferent, Ning Hongchen lost her temper.

"How about we make a bet? If you can walk the same path that Shizhen walked back then, then I'll consider it a loss."

Otherwise, I'll consider myself the winner!

Ning Hongchen said defiantly.

"What if we lose? What if we win?"

Su Mu said calmly.

"If I lose, I'll give you a treasure, the most top-tier one."

Ning Hongchen said, "If I win, I don't want your things. I just need you to do one more thing for me."

"Not interested in."

Su Mu said, "Betting is something only children do."

"Aren't you curious about what treasure I lost to you?"

Ning Hongchen said.

"not at all."

Su Mu remained calm.

A hint of helplessness flashed deep in Ning Hongchen's eyes. This kid, Su Mu, is getting harder and harder to fool.

"There doesn't seem to be much left here. Ning Hongchen, what exactly are you doing in Yin Ruins? You didn't come here just to make a bet with me, did you?"

Su Mu said.

Having obtained the Heavenly Pharmacopoeia and a gourd of Destiny Pills, Su Mu's trip was not in vain.

Next, he would spend three years with Ning Hongchen in the Yin Ruins, and then their agreement would be fulfilled.

"of course not!"

Ning Hongchen realized he had been too hasty. He composed himself, straightened his clothes, and said, "Let's go. It doesn't seem like there's anything good here. We should move on."

…………

Just over ten miles away from Su Mu and Ning Hongchen, the two were arguing.

"Cha Haishan, I really believed your lies! Now I've been reduced to the state of a homeless dog!"

Kita Gongye glared angrily at Cha Haishan.

He was the son of the Heavenly Venerable, and in the Great Void Sacred Realm, who wouldn't give him some face?

He was truly blinded by greed, actually believing Cha Haishan's words.

“Bei Gongye, I have never forced you.”

Cha Haishan sneered, "It's you who hates that your father looks down on you, and hates that your eldest brother has taken over all the resources of the Beigong family."

"Your own greed is insatiable, how can you blame me?"

Cha Haishan sneered repeatedly. To succeed, one must pay a price that ordinary people are unwilling to pay, even for a second-generation martial artist.

Wanting both? Where in the world is there such a good deal?
There's no reason why you can sit back and reap the rewards if you succeed, and then shift the blame onto others if you fail.

I, Cha Haishan, am not to be blamed for this.

"I'm greedy? You're no different!"

Bei Gongye was hit where it hurt, and he shouted sharply, "Aren't you just jealous of your junior brother Tian Cangchen?"

"Each each other."

Cha Haishan said expressionlessly, "Things have come to this point, I have no choice but to rely on the Void Realm. Bei Gongye, are you going or not?"

"I--"

A look of struggle appeared on Bei Gongye's face.

He disliked the colorless Void Realm at all.

But now his father has broken ties with him, and he is now a pariah in the mortal world.

"We had no choice."

Cha Haishan said in a deep voice, "If we want to change our fate, we must rely on external forces to break some things."

"You're playing with fire!"

Kitamiya said angrily.

"So what? If I, Cha Haishan, can't take action, what harm is there in burning the world down?"

Cha Haishan's eyes were filled with madness.

"Bei Gongye, think about how your father looked down on you, think about how your older brother despised you, don't you want to turn things around?"

"I'll go with you!"

"That's right, let's create a new world together!"

The two walked hand in hand toward the black hole in front of them, and soon disappeared into darkness.

A moment later, a deep roar came from the black hole, and then a black, ink-colored Void Beast emerged from it. The Void Beast had a leopard's head and a horse's body, and was two zhang tall and three zhang long.

It let out a low growl and inhaled sharply.

The surrounding colors seemed to materialize and fly into its mouth, then everything around it was soaked in ink-like colors.

The Void Beast let out a comfortable groan.

Then it looked up in one direction.

…………

"Ok?"

Ning Hongchen suddenly raised her head.

"what happened?"

Su Mu raised an eyebrow and looked in the direction Ning Hongchen was looking, a look of doubt on his face.

"The good news is, I guessed right."

Ning Hongchen said, "The bad news is that a Void Beast is coming."

Su Mu looked in that direction, but he didn't notice anything unusual. He wondered how Ning Hongchen knew about the Void Beast.

"You've seen too few Void Beasts, so you can't sense them."

If you could traverse the entire Void Realm like Shi Zhen did, you would naturally be able to easily detect the aura of the Void Beasts.

Ning Hongchen said that he also wanted to persuade Su Mu to retrace Shi Zhen's steps.

"Stop talking nonsense. Since you guessed right, does that mean my mission is complete?"

Su Mudao.

"this--"

Ning Hongchen turned to look at Su Mu. He couldn't guess what Su Mu was thinking. Shouldn't a normal person be thinking about how to deal with that Void Beast?
How did you end up thinking about his mission?

“The thing I promised to do for you was to accompany you to Yinxu. Now that we’re here, your guess has been confirmed. That means I’ve done what I promised you.”

Su Mu said earnestly, "We're even now."

"Void Beast! A Void Beast has appeared here! Do you know what that means?"

Didn't you say that yourself?

When the nest is overturned, no egg remains unbroken!
If you stand idly by and do nothing, and the Void Beasts invade, the world will be thrown into chaos!

Ning Hongchen said.

"What does it have to do with me?"

Su Mu said in surprise, "This is the Taixu Sacred Realm. Even if the sky collapses, there are tall people to hold it up."

"If you're worried, you can take action yourself. Why don't you just go and kill that Void Beast?"

Ning Hongchen frowned as he looked at Su Mu.

Su Mu looked completely calm.

"Ning Hongchen, if you want to be a hero, go be one yourself. I'm not that kind of person."

Su Mu said earnestly.

Ning Hongchen was stunned for a moment, then suddenly burst into laughter.

"Su Mu, I'm really worried that you're the kind of hot-blooded youth who might impulsively want to play the hero."

Ning Hongchen laughed and said, "If that's the case, you're not worth all the trouble I, Ning Hongchen, have gone to for you."

Now, everything is fine, you're doing well.

Su Mu looked at Ning Hongchen with a strange expression, as if he were looking at a madman.

"Wait for me here. I'll come as soon as I go."

Ning Hongchen said, "Don't go. When I come back, I will give you an incredible opportunity, an opportunity that can help you achieve the Great Perfection of the Eight-Nine Mysterious Technique!"

Having said that, Ning Hongchen soared into the sky and disappeared into the thick white mist in an instant.

Su Mu originally didn't want to pay attention to Ning Hongchen. You think I'll wait just because you tell me to? Do you really think you're going to buy oranges?

However, Ning Hongchen's last words still touched Su Mu's heartstrings.

What opportunity could help him achieve the Great Perfection of the Eight-Nine Mysterious Skill?

If Ning Hongchen's words are true, then Su Mu really doesn't want to miss this opportunity. (End of Chapter)
