The First Marquis of Daxuan

The Sacred Realm of the Great Void, the True Sacred Sect.

As a former top sect, the True Saint Sect occupies a very good position.

Even within the Taixu Sacred Realm, there are only a handful of sects with better locations than the True Sacred Sect.

However, the once powerful True Saint Sect had an influence that covered an area of ​​tens of thousands of miles, but now they only have seven peaks left.

The rest of the area has been occupied by other forces.

The mountain peaks not far from the seven peaks of the True Saint Sect have all been occupied by other sects.

If it weren't for the fact that the True Saint Sect still had some resources, they would have been wiped out long ago.

The world is so cruel.

If you are not as strong as others, you will fall behind, and if you fall behind, you will be attacked.

In recent years, the True Saint Sect has been trying to find ways to rise again.

It's a pity that everyone is arguing, why should your True Saint Sect be able to rise again?
Occasionally, they would encounter some promising talents, but before they could be nurtured, those talents would either be assassinated by hostile forces or snatched away by top-tier sects.

With a lack of successors and the older generation of powerful figures running out of lifespan, the True Saint Sect will only grow weaker.

This is an endless loop.

If they don't find a way to break this deadlock, they probably won't even be able to maintain their status as a second-rate sect in a few hundred years.

In martial arts sects, it's a matter of either progressing or falling behind; everyone is vying for disciples and resources.

Of course, the True Saint Sect wasn't exactly innocent either; they secretly recruited and trained many disciples with good aptitude.

Unable to seize resources from the Taixu Sacred Realm, they secretly traded with the Ruins Realm in exchange for cultivation resources.

The ancestors of the True Saint Sect were once wealthy; even a fallen camel is bigger than a horse. They secretly controlled a passage to and from the Ruins Realm.

Having secretly plotted for so many years, the True Saint Sect is now at least three times stronger than it appears on the surface, surpassing even most first-rate sects.

By enduring hardship and biding one's time, one can naturally plan for great things.

On the main peak of the True Saint Sect, there is a secluded cave.

At this moment, Yang Hong, the sect leader of the True Saint Sect, was sitting there, and not far in front of him was a prison cell.

The flickering candlelight made Yang Hong's figure appear somewhat sinister.

“You have no choice. This is the Immortal Imprisoning Cage left behind by the founder of my True Saint Sect. Even if a Celestial Venerable is trapped here, he cannot leave easily, let alone you.”

Yang Hong slowly said, "If you cooperate with me honestly, you might suffer less."

Seeing that the person in the cage remained silent, Yang Hong sneered, "Even if you don't cooperate, I have plenty of ways to deal with you."

"You've suffered so much, but the end result is still the same. What's the point?"

"I bother!"

A voice came from the Immortal Imprisonment Cage, sounding unusually weak and listless.

"Even if I die, I will never let you succeed."

Who do you think you are, to dare make Cat Lord submit?

If Su Mu were here, he would definitely recognize that it was the voice of the demonic cat.

"You won't listen to reason, so you'll have to suffer the consequences. I've already sent people to the Void Realm to buy Silver Bell Grass. Once I've refined the Three Corpse Pill with Silver Bell Grass, I'll see if you can still be so stubborn!"

Yang Hong, the sect leader of the True Saint Sect, sneered, flicked his sleeves, and turned to leave.

Inside the cage, a large cat lay there listlessly, muttering to itself.

"If you walk by the river often, you'll find yourself in a real trap this time."

The giant cat muttered to itself, "I originally wanted to get some benefits for that kid, but instead, I've gotten myself into trouble."

Yang Hong, the sect leader of the True Saint Sect, returned to the main hall and called over a disciple.

When will the silver bell grass arrive?

he asked.

"They said the fastest they could gather enough supplies would be one month from the Ruins Realm."

The disciple said, "A lot has happened in the Void Realm recently, otherwise we would have been able to bring the Silver Bell Grass back this time."

"Have someone urge them to send it over as soon as they get the silver bell grass."

Yang Hong said in a deep voice.

This demonic cat is no ordinary creature. If we can control it with the Three Corpse Pill, then the revival of the True Saint Sect will be no problem at all.

Yang Hong's eyes were full of anticipation.

…………

Taixu Sacred Realm, Cangqiong Sect.

A blinding white light flashed, and Fu Canglan, the sect master of the Cangqiong Sect, appeared before a group of Cangqiong Sect elders.

"metropolitan!"

The elders of the Azure Sky Sect all showed joy on their faces and spoke up.

Fu Canglan went to seek an audience with the Celestial Venerable behind the Cangqiong Sect. Upon his return, he will surely bring instructions from the Celestial Venerable.

"Sect Master, what are the Heavenly Venerable's instructions?"

An elder of the Azure Sky Sect, with white hair and beard, asked, "Should we stand idly by and watch the Void Realm attack the Outer Domain, or should we take back the Outer Domain?"

Fu Canglan witnessed firsthand that the Lord of the Void Beasts of the Void Realm had escaped his confinement.

The Lord of the Void Beasts is ambitious and has been trying to invade the Yang Realm. Now that it has broken free, another great war is bound to break out.

Fortunately, it had just escaped its predicament and its strength had not yet returned to its peak. It was also injured by Fu Canglan and Wu Zu together, so it was difficult to take any major actions for the time being.

The Void Realm's attack on the outer realms this time is nothing more than a small skirmish.

In fact, even if the Void Realm really annexed the Outer Domain, it wouldn't have much impact on the Taixu Sacred Realm.

In any case, the outer realms were never originally their territory of the Taixu Sacred Realm.

Nevertheless, Fu Canglan still decided to consult the Heavenly Venerable.

Within the Azure Sky Sect, the elders held differing opinions. Some believed that the Void Realm wouldn't dare to invade the Great Void Sacred Realm, so there was no need to worry about it.

Some people thought they could go to the Lord of the Void Beasts to negotiate and offer him some benefits to keep him in line.

Of course, there are also radicals who believe that the ruler of the Void Beasts should be wiped out directly.

Now all the elders of the Azure Sky Sect are looking at Fu Canglan, wanting to know what the Heavenly Venerable's opinion is.

"The Heavenly Venerable has ordered that we remain still and not make any moves."

Fu Canglan spoke slowly.

"Stand still?"

An elder of the Azure Sky Sect frowned and said, "Now that the Void Realm has already mobilized its troops, with the strength of the Void Realm, the Outer Domain simply cannot hold out for long. Once the Outer Domain falls, the next one to face the Void Realm will be our Taixu Sacred Realm."

As the saying goes, "How can we allow others to snore beside our bed?" How can we stand by and watch the Void Realm occupy the outer realms?
Is the Celestial Venerable—?

He didn't dare say the words "old and senile" aloud, but everyone knew what he meant.

"How dare you! You actually slander the Heavenly Venerable!"

Another elder from the Azure Sky Sect rebuked him, saying that he was a proponent of peace.

"I'm telling the truth! Just because you're willing to be a coward doesn't mean everyone else is like you."

Who are you calling a coward?

Several groups started arguing.

"enough."

Fu Canglan shouted, and after everyone quieted down, he slowly said, "The matter of the Void Realm can be postponed for a while, but there is something that is urgent!"

Fu Canglan's gaze swept over the elders of the Cangqiong Sect, his expression extremely solemn.

Seeing Fu Canglan like this, the elders of the Cangqiong Sect were also startled.

They looked at Fu Canglan and asked one after another, "Sect Master, is there anything else?"

They didn't know what could make Fu Canglan so serious.

Their Azure Sky Sect is the number one sect in the Void Sacred Realm. Even if the Void Realm really launched a war, it shouldn't have caused Fu Canglan to be in this state.

Ultimately, their argument stemmed from considerations of the interests of the Azure Sky Sect.

From beginning to end, they didn't believe that the Void Realm could really occupy the entire Taixu Sacred Realm.

"When Bai Tianzun's lifespan is up, he will ascend to heaven within a few years."

Fu Canglan waved his sleeve, first using a force to protect the entire hall, before slowly speaking.

Upon hearing this, everyone's expression changed.

All the elders of the Azure Sky Sect are powerful figures in the Heavenly Fate Realm, and many of them are even at the peak of the Heavenly Fate Realm.

They were actually only one step away from the legendary position of Heavenly Venerable.

However, the number of Heavenly Venerable positions in the entire Taixu Sacred Realm is limited.

The position of Heavenly Venerable is now full, and no matter how hard they try, they will never be able to become Heavenly Venerables.

Back then, the Seventy-Two Thieves went through so much trouble, but in the end, they still failed.
Some elders advocated waging war against the Void Realm, perhaps with the intention of expanding their territory and taking advantage of the situation to become Celestial Venerables.

Now that Fu Canglan says that Bai Tianzun's lifespan is nearing its end, everyone understands what this means.

The fall of one Celestial Venerable signifies the birth of a new Celestial Venerable.

This is an opportunity!
The elders of the Azure Sky Sect, especially those at the peak of the Heavenly Fate Realm, all began to breathe heavily.

That's right. The peak of the Heavenly Fate Realm and the Heavenly Venerable Realm seem to be only one step apart, but in reality, they are worlds apart. Even if they were given the spot, they might not be able to break through.

Besides, countless people are eyeing this position, and it's not certain that they'll get it.

But if it's possible, who wouldn't want to fight for it?

Who wouldn't want to go further?
For a moment, the elders of the Azure Sky Sect looked at each other with some hostility.

Fu Canglan had been paying close attention to everyone's reactions, and he naturally understood what they were thinking.

I couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

The position of Heavenly Venerable is something even parents and brothers would fight for, let alone fellow disciples.
Fu Canglan was equally determined to obtain it.

If anyone were to ask him to give up this opportunity now, they would undoubtedly be Fu Canglan's mortal enemy.

He knew that once this news was released, it would inevitably cause a bloodbath.

Compared to this, the Void Realm is nothing more than a minor ailment.

"Sect Master, who knows that Bai Tianzun is about to perish?"

An elder of the Azure Sky Sect asked in a deep voice.

"What do you think?"

Fu Canglan said calmly, "Our Celestial Venerables of the Azure Sky Sect know this, but do you think the other Celestial Venerables wouldn't?"
The celestial beings have probably already begun to make their moves.

If our Azure Sky Sect can secure this spot, we will become the first sect in the Taixu Sacred Realm to have one Heavenly Venerable!

The group exchanged glances.

The future described by Fu Canglan was indeed quite appealing to them, but with one sect and two Heavenly Venerables, the question of who the second Heavenly Venerable was made all the more complicated.

Is it Fu Canglan, or them?
"What did the Celestial Venerable say?"

someone asked.

"The Celestial Venerables have reached a tacit understanding that they will not interfere in this matter, at least not openly. Who can seize this position depends on the abilities of each family's younger generation."

Fu Canglan's gaze swept over everyone, and he said in a deep voice, "Our Cangqiong Sect will not designate a candidate either."

"Some of you have already reached the peak of the Heavenly Fate Realm. If anyone is able to preemptively attain the position of Heavenly Venerable, our sect will be sincerely pleased."

Although Fu Canglan said that, everyone knew that he did not mean to give up the fight.

No one would give up the position of Heavenly Venerable.

Once this news spreads, all the peak-level martial artists of the Heavenly Fate Realm in the entire Taixu Sacred Realm will probably go crazy.

Although the elders of the Azure Sky Sect did not say it outright, they had already begun to compete with each other in secret.

"No matter what, this position of honor must belong to our Azure Sky Sect."

"Whether it's our sect or any of the elders, it absolutely cannot fall into the hands of outsiders!"

Fu Canglan said in a deep voice, "From now on, this matter is the top priority of the Cangqiong Sect!"

We must spare no effort to keep this prestigious position within the Azure Sky Sect!

The elders of the Azure Sky Sect nodded in agreement, their faces all revealing intense fighting spirit.

…………

In many different places within the Taixu Sacred Realm, scenes similar to those in the Cangqiong Sect are unfolding.

The Martial Ancestor and the Martial Emperor also received the news.

"I was fortunate to be born in the era when the Celestial Venerable fell; Heaven has been kind to me."

The Martial Ancestor's eyes flashed with a sharp light, his face full of fighting spirit.

The Celestial Venerable has a long lifespan and it is almost impossible for him to die unexpectedly.

If he's unlucky, even if he dies of old age before any Celestial Venerables have perished, he won't have the chance to even glimpse the realm of Celestial Venerables.

The idea of ​​increasing the number of Heavenly Venerable positions by expanding territory was not realistic in the eyes of the Martial Ancestor.

Regardless of the difficulty of attacking the Void Realm, even if the Void Realm is conquered, if the universe cannot be recreated, the Void Realm will still be the Void Realm, and the Yang Realm will still be the Yang Realm. The number of Heavenly Venerable positions will not change in the slightest.

Unless the Void Realm is rebuilt into the Yang Realm, there is no point in occupying the Void Realm.

Recreating the world?
That's not something you can just talk about.

At least in Martial Ancestor's understanding, that was an impossible thing to do.

Back then, the Seventy-Two Thieves were strong enough, weren't they? They even suppressed the Lord of the Void Beasts in the Void Realm.

They once occupied a large area of ​​the Ruins Realm, attempting to recreate the universe and thus achieve the status of a Celestial Venerable.

In the end, it still failed.

While internal strife within the mortal realm certainly played a role, the fundamental reason was that recreating the universe was virtually impossible.

The Qiankun Creation Technique created by the Seventy-Two Thieves could indeed transform the environment of the Void Realm by using extremely yang materials, but the effect was limited. Even if all the extremely yang materials in the Void Realm were exhausted, the area transformed would not be enough to increase the number of Heavenly Venerable positions.

Otherwise, how could the Seventy-Two Thieves have failed in their mission and ended in tragedy?

Martial Ancestor never thought that method was good; his previous idea was to challenge the Heavenly Venerable and take his place.

Of course, this method is also very difficult.

What's the difference between challenging a Celestial Venerable with only the cultivation of the Celestial Fate Realm and courting death?
Martial Ancestor was never prepared. He never expected that Heaven would give him such an opportunity. Before he could even challenge the Heavenly Venerable, the Heavenly Venerable was about to run out of lifespan.

"This position must belong to me, Wu!"

"The Martial Ancestor said to himself."

…………

Su Mu, or more accurately, Su Mu's incarnation.

He reappeared within the Sacred Realm of the Great Void.

This time, however, he did not come over the defensive wall composed of seventy-two divine weapons of destiny, but came directly from the Void Realm.

He took the same secret passage controlled by the True Saint Sect.

When he interrogated the True Saint Sect disciples earlier, he naturally found out about this trade route. In order to avoid attracting attention, the True Saint Sect didn't even assign any disciples to guard this secret passage.

That's why Su Mu was able to enter the True Saint Sect quietly without alerting anyone.

The exit of this passage is located less than a hundred miles from the True Saint Sect.

After Su Mu left, he did not go directly to the True Saint Sect, but instead found a city to gather information before taking any action.

As soon as he entered the city, Su Mu quickly realized that something was wrong.

This wasn't his first time in the Taixu Sacred Realm; the atmosphere there hadn't been this tense before.

This time, as soon as he entered the city, he found that all the martial artists walking on the road had serious expressions and were wary of each other.

After wandering around the city for half a day and using some tricks, Su Mu finally figured out what was going on.

He initially thought the tense atmosphere in the Taixu Sacred Realm was due to the events in the Ruins Realm, but in the end, he discovered that it had nothing to do with the Ruins Realm.

A Celestial Venerable in the Sacred Realm of the Great Void is about to perish!
Su Mu sat by the window in a restaurant, his expression becoming somewhat serious.

"How could the news that the Celestial Venerable's lifespan is nearing its end and he is about to perish have become common knowledge?"

Su Mu looked at the crowds coming and going on the street. Even sitting in a restaurant, he could hear whispers about the same thing being discussed at the next table.

What kind of being is the Celestial Venerable? The lifespan of such a person is an absolute secret, almost impossible for outsiders to know.

It's even less likely that the news would spread to such widespread public knowledge.

Su Mu only needed to think about it for a moment to realize that someone was probably deliberately stirring things up.

This kind of news couldn't have reached so many people if no one had deliberately spread it.

"With the fall of the Heavenly Venerable, a position will become vacant."

It has to be said that Su Mu's first reaction upon hearing this news was also to be tempted.

Why did the Great Xuan Dynasty launch a military campaign against the Ruins Realm?
Of course, it was also because the Void Realm wanted to conquer the outer realms first, but it was also because the Great Xuan Dynasty wanted to push Su Mu to the position of Heavenly Venerable.

If we can seize the position left by Bai Tianzun, then the Great Xuan Dynasty will no longer need to resort to unorthodox methods.

After all, no one can guarantee whether achieving the status of a Celestial Venerable through territorial expansion is feasible.

There's a ready-made spot available, so why not take it?

Su Mu's cultivation has now reached the peak of the Heavenly Fate Realm, making him qualified to sit at the card table.

"Luckily, I made the last-minute decision to come to the Sacred Realm of the Void. Otherwise, I would have been fighting to the death with the Void Beasts in the Void Realm, while Fu Canglan and Martial Ancestor would have easily become Heavenly Venerables..."

Su Mu thought to himself.

"However, the position of Heavenly Venerable is probably not in the hands of Fu Canglan and Martial Ancestor. Since someone is deliberately spreading rumors, they probably want to muddy the waters and then take advantage of the situation."

Su Mu pondered.

Who will inherit the vacant position of Heavenly Venerable is not something that any one person can decide.

This is a game.

The new Celestial Venerable must not only break through the encirclement, but also gain the recognition of the other Celestial Venerables.

However, the Celestial Venerables of the Great Void Sacred Realm are not of one mind. Their interests are complex and varied, and each of them has their own ulterior motives.

So it's really uncertain who will ultimately get this position.

However, if Su Mu wants to succeed, the difficulty will be many times greater than that of Fu Canglan and Wu Zu.

Those celestial beings would absolutely not allow the successors of the Seventy-Two Thieves to become their comrades.

Even if Su Mu breaks through to the Heavenly Venerable position before everyone else, Su Mu has no doubt that the other Heavenly Venerables will join forces to kill him.

How could a newly ascended Celestial Venerable be a match for those old Celestial Venerables?

Speaking of which, when the Seventy-Two Sages fought against the Celestial Venerable, they killed one of the Celestial Venerables, and one of them even took the opportunity to break through, but was ultimately killed by the other Celestial Venerables.

The fact that it is almost impossible for the Celestial Venerables to be killed does not mean that they cannot be killed.

This position represents not only personal ability, but also countless benefits.

For Su Mu to seize the position left by Bai Tianzun is no more difficult than proving his Dao by expanding his territory.

"Both paths are as difficult as climbing to the sky."

Su Mu thought to himself.

Even if Su Mu's true form and his avatar are separated by thousands of miles, they can still communicate with each other.

He knew that Cha Haishan's army of Void Beasts was currently in a standoff with the army of the Great Xuan Dynasty.

The two sides have fought several times, with each side experiencing victories and defeats.

Su Mu's true form also attempted a decapitation strike, but even with his true form's strength, he couldn't take Cha Haishan's head amidst a million-strong army.

After all, the strength of those Void Beast armies was quite formidable.

Even with Su Mu's true form in charge, the Great Xuan Dynasty's army was on the verge of collapse several times, and was almost invaded by the Void Beast army.

On one occasion, it was Tian Cangchen's sneak attack from behind that forced Cha Haishan to withdraw his troops; otherwise, he would have truly invaded the outer realms.

Only after the war actually began did Su Mu realize that the power of the Void Realm was far greater than he had imagined.

Moreover, in this kind of war between two worlds, while individual combat strength is important, it is no longer possible for it to play a decisive role.

After all, he was only at the Heavenly Fate Realm, not a Heavenly Venerable.

Among Cha Haishan's million-strong army of Void Beasts, there were nearly three digits of Void Beasts at the Heavenly Fate Realm.

"If the news of Bai Tianzun's impending demise were to reach the Heavenly Venerable Beasts of the Void Realm, they probably wouldn't want to see a new Heavenly Venerable born in the Taixu Sacred Realm."

Su Mu thought to himself.

He didn't come to the Sacred Realm of the Void alone this time; he brought Shen Ha from the Shenhou tribe with him.

However, Shenha was too large to enter the city, so Su Mu hid it in the desolate mountains outside the city.

Su Mu now only wants to stir things up even more.

Only in this way will his chances be greater.

However, involving the Void Beasts is not a good choice.

Su Mu asked himself if he still had any bottom line, and he rejected the idea in his mind.

"Let's rescue the monster cat first."

Su Mu thought for a while, shook his head, and muttered to himself, "Who knows when Bai Tianzun will perish."

"Rescue the demon cat; given its mischievous nature, perhaps there's a better way."

Su Mu turned his gaze toward the True Saint Sect.

The True Saint Sect was once the only sect within this vast area, but now, this territory has long been divided up and fragmented.

Even the former site of the True Saint Sect has been divided up by other sects.

Their sect's current location is less than one-tenth of its peak size.

Such a sect actually managed to capture the demonic giant cat alive; it just goes to show that even a starved camel is bigger than a horse.

"Brother Cat, you're really going backwards as you get older, you actually capsized in this little ditch."

Su Mu thought to himself.

The demonic cat has too many secrets, and Su Mu doesn't know either. Does it have some kind of grudge against the True Saint Sect? Otherwise, why would it come to the True Saint Sect?

However, speaking of which, the demonic cat has so many treasures on its body, and wealth is a powerful tool for understanding people's hearts. It's possible that it flaunted its wealth somewhere, which is why it caught the eye of the True Saint Sect.

"The True Saint Sect has been secretly trading with the Void Realm for many years, so its strength is definitely greater than it appears on the surface."

Su Mu did not rashly enter the True Saint Sect for this reason.

The demonic cat was quite powerful, and it possessed countless treasures.

To be honest, even if Su Mu were to take action himself, he wouldn't be very confident of capturing the demon cat alive.

The True Saint Sect, however, succeeded.

If he rashly barges into the True Saint Sect, he might very well suffer a setback.

"Fortunately, I managed to persuade Shenha to come."

A glint of light flashed in Su Mu's eyes, "It wouldn't be bad to let Shen Ha find out the true saint sect's strength first."

I wonder how the True Saint Sect will react when they suddenly see a Void Beast.

With Bai Tianzun on the verge of death, the Taixu Sacred Realm was in a state of panic when a Void Beast suddenly appeared at the True Saint Sect…

Su Mu's lips curled up slightly.

At that time, he probably won't even need to make a move; plenty of people will want to make their presence felt and attack the True Saint Sect.

After all, the struggle for the position of Celestial Venerable depends on strength.

Reputation can sometimes be a source of power.

"Back then, Cha Haishan and Beigong Ye colluded with the Void Beasts. One of them was expelled from the Martial Sect, and the other was severed from his father-son relationship."

Even the Martial Ancestor and the Northern Palace Celestial Venerable couldn't escape the charge of colluding with the Void Beasts. The True Martial Sect, humph!

Su Mu sneered inwardly.

With this thought in mind, Su Mu didn't delay any longer. He dropped a small spirit stone, and in a flash, he left the city.

…………

"Brother, you're finally back."

Shenha sat cross-legged, with a pile of bloody beast carcasses in front of him, and a giant cauldron ten feet tall, filled with spirit wine, emitting a rich aroma.

"Have you finished your work? If you don't come back soon, I'm going to drink all this wine."

Shen Ha said casually.

"Did you catch these wild animals yourself?"

Su Mu pointed to the carcasses of the wild beasts and asked.

"Don't worry, I know the rules. I caught them in these mountains, and I didn't leave any alive."

Shen Ha chuckled and said, "Your Yang Realm is indeed better than ours. The blood food here is warm and tastes good, unlike ours, where everything is cold."

"If you like, you can stay here indefinitely. Although our True Saint Sect has declined, it can still support a Void Beast like you, Brother Shen."

Su Mudao.

"I want to, but I can't."

Shen Ha shook his head like a rattle drum. "The Yang Realm and the Void Realm are irreconcilable enemies. If they discover me, won't they swarm and kill me?"

It's gotten smarter for a moment now.

"It wouldn't work elsewhere, since the Yang Realm and the Void Realm are still in conflict, but it's fine within our True Saint Sect."

Su Mu said, “There are no outsiders in the True Saint Sect. Do you see those seven mountains over there? That’s our True Saint Sect’s territory. As long as you stay in those seven mountains, no one will come looking for trouble for you.”

"Really?"

Shenha was overjoyed. It loved the colorful world of the mortal realm and its sunshine, and had no desire to return to the cold and desolate Void Realm.

"Of course it's true. What good would it do me to lie to Brother Shen?"

Su Mu said, "Our True Saint Sect has been doing business with your Ruins Realm more than once or twice. When have you ever seen our True Saint Sect lie?"

"That's true."

Shen Ha thought for a moment and then said.

"Brother Shen, I have some other things to take care of. You go to the True Saint Sect and wait for me."

Su Mu said, "Once you arrive at the True Saint Sect, just reveal your identity. If anyone stops you, just say you're here to deliver Silver Bell Grass to the True Saint Sect."

"How about I wait for you before we go together? I don't know anyone else in the True Saint Sect."

Shen Ha hesitated for a moment before speaking.

"Don't worry, I've already sent the message back."

Su Mu said, "Just come to our door openly and generously. Everyone in the True Saint Sect will treat you as a distinguished guest."

On our True Saint Sect's territory, Brother Shen, you don't need to hide; just show yourself.

Don't you believe in the strength of our True Saint Sect?

"That's not..."

Shenhadao.

It sensed that something was wrong, but with its limited intelligence, it couldn't figure out what was wrong at all.

The True Saint Sect and the Void Beast Tribe have maintained relations for hundreds of years, and they have never broken their promise.

How did you get that word? Right, allies!

The True Saint Sect is an ally of the Void Beast Tribe; how could they possibly betray them?

With this in mind, Shenha felt completely relieved.

"Alright, then I'll go to the True Saint Sect and wait for you, brother."

Shen Ha said.

"Once I've finished my business, I'll definitely return to the True Saint Sect as soon as possible to entertain Brother Shen."

Su Mu said, and directly tossed a storage ring to Shen Ha.

"Brother Shen, this contains some of my treasured spirit wine. Take it with you to quench your thirst."

Shen Ha was overjoyed, but couldn't help feeling a little regretful.

Shen, oh Shen, Brother Wei is such a good person, how could you suspect he would harm you!
You're a real jerk!

"Brother Wei, you are like a brother to me. Next time you go to the Void Realm, I will definitely treat you to the specialties of the Void Realm. I also want you to experience what it's like to be the most honored guest in the Void Realm!"

Shen Ha patted his chest and said.

"Then I'll wait for that day to come soon."

Su Mu said with a smile.

He watched Shen Ha disappear in the direction of the True Saint Sect, a slight smile playing on his lips.

…………

Moments later, news spread throughout the city.

The True Saint Sect colluded with the Void Beast, and even brazenly hid the Void Beast within the True Martial Sect's mountain gate.

The news spread like wildfire.

The news spread faster than Su Mu had imagined.

He had only reached the third city when the news spread faster than he could spread it.

Moreover, Su Mu saw that more than one Heavenly Fate Realm expert was flying towards the True Saint Sect.

Now, almost everyone is scrambling for resources; it's an obvious opportunity to show off one's prestige, so how could they possibly pass it up?

The competition for the Taixu Sacred Realm was even more intense than Su Mu had imagined.

The True Saint Sect's collusion with the Void Beasts is not only an opportunity to boost their prestige, but also a chance to divide up the True Saint Sect's resources.

Those who collude with the ruins shall be executed.

The True Saint Sect was once a first-rate sect, but now that someone has found a weakness in it, it's inevitable that they will be completely exploited.

Su Mu followed the menacing crowd and quietly blended into the True Saint Sect. (End of Chapter)
