The First Marquis of Daxuan

A crack that had almost cut the sky in two was slowly healing.

That earth-shattering power gradually disappeared.

All five Void Beast Celestial Venerables were swept into the crack and disappeared.

On the other side of the rift lies the Ruins Realm.

Lei Tianzun and the other two Yang Realm Heavenly Venerables stared wide-eyed.

Even with their extensive knowledge, they were stunned.

"Is this what you meant by having some experience in dealing with the Void Beasts?"

Lei Tianzun couldn't help but look at Su Mu and speak.

"Yes."

Su Mu smiled faintly and said, "Just tell me, did I send them back to my hometown?"

Lei Tianzun nodded subconsciously.

Su Mu did indeed send the five Void Beast Celestial Venerables back to the Void Realm.

Although this action did not actually cause any damage to the five Void Beast Celestial Venerables, it was a different story for Thunder Celestial Venerable.

Originally, Lei Tianzun needed to deal with seven Tianzun, but now that five Xushou Tianzun are gone, he only has two Yangjie Tianzun left to face.

Two Heavenly Venerables from the Yang Realm—let alone killing Thunder Venerable, it's uncertain whether they can even escape from Thunder Venerable's grasp!

Lei Tianzun's gaze fell on the two Yang Realm Heavenly Venerables, and a ferocious smile appeared on his face.

"Now, it's my turn to deal with you!"

Lei Tianzun said coldly.

The two Heavenly Venerables of the Yang Realm exchanged a glance, and the next moment, they turned and left without hesitation.

Swish!Swish!Swish!
The three figures vanished instantly.

Su Mu was slightly out of breath. Looking at Lei Tianzun, who couldn't wait to start chasing after the two Yang Realm Celestial Venerables, he felt somewhat helpless.

He really wanted to say to Lei Tianzun, "You just ran away like that?"

Don't you need to worry about me?

I almost exhausted all my strength just now to send those five Void Beast Celestial Venerables back to their hometown. Now any random martial artist could easily take me down.

The moment Su Mu had this thought, he heard the sound of wind breaking in his ears.

Immediately afterwards, he saw several figures descend from the sky and land in front of him.

Su Mu took a deep breath, straightened his body, and concealed his weakness.

His gaze slowly swept across the entire room, spotting a few familiar faces, as well as some he had never seen before.

Fortunately, the newcomers were not very strong; there were only two or three at the Heavenly Fate Realm, while the rest were at the Heavenly Profound Realm.

These people must have been drawn here by the earlier commotion to watch the excitement.

"Su Mu, what just happened here?"
Are the Celestial Venerables fighting? Where are they?

"A martial artist asked loudly."

Su Mu looked over upon hearing the voice and saw that the martial artist speaking was someone he had never seen before.

You've never met the other person before, yet they know your name perfectly.

Am I that famous now?

Su Mu thought to himself as he sized up the other person, his eyes narrowing slightly.

The aura emanating from the other party was clearly that of the Heavenly Profound Realm, but for some reason, the other party gave Su Mu a very dangerous feeling.

With Su Mu's current cultivation level, let alone the Heavenly Profound Realm, even the Heavenly Fate Realm would hardly be able to threaten Su Mu's safety.

This sense of danger only arises when facing the Celestial Venerable.

In an instant, Su Mu understood.

The opponent wasn't some Heavenly Profound Realm cultivator; he was a Celestial Venerable!
Although he didn't know why the other party was hiding, Su Mu was still on high alert.

You absolutely must not let the other person know your current state!
"It doesn't hurt to tell you."

Su Mu said calmly, "Just now, five Void Beast Celestial Venerables broke into the Yang Realm, and Thunder Celestial Venerable drove them back."

Unfortunately, during the battle against the Void Beast Celestial Venerable, one of the Yang Realm Celestial Venerables tragically perished.

"You all probably saw the strange phenomenon of heaven and earth grieving before. Although I don't know the name of that Celestial Venerable, he died for the sake of the mortal realm. May he rest in peace!"

Su Mu cupped his hands in a gesture of respect towards the direction above and raised his voice.

Su Mu noticed out of the corner of his eye that the martial artist frowned almost imperceptibly.

He sneered inwardly; the truth was that she was just a little girl who could be dressed up however anyone wanted.

Would I casually mention something like internal strife among the Heavenly Venerables of the Yang Realm?
That unlucky guy who died at the hands of Lei Tianzun, who was a backstabber of his own kind, suddenly became a hero who fought against the Void Realm. I ask you, shouldn't the forces behind him be grateful to Su Mu?
Furthermore, this mysterious Celestial Venerable was clearly there to probe the truth, so why would Su Mu tell him the real reason?

Su Mu's words clearly confused Li Tianzun.

The three Yang Realm Celestial Venerables and the five Void Beast Celestial Venerables were all invited by Celestial Venerable Li to deal with Celestial Venerable Lei.

Li Tianzun knew better than anyone what had happened before.

He simply didn't know how Lei Tianzun had managed to turn the tide, which is why he couldn't help but ask Su Mu.

Logically speaking, Lei Tianzun should have had absolutely no chance of surviving.

Could it be that those three guys really betrayed us at the last minute and joined forces with Thunder Celestial Venerable to kill Void Beast Celestial Venerable?
"Did Lei Tianzun and the others go to hunt down Xu Shou Tianzun?"

Li Tianzun asked in a deep voice.

"if not?"

Su Mu shrugged and said casually.

"Who just tore through space and opened a passage from here to the Void Realm?"

Li Tianzun pressed for an answer.

The Yang Realm and the Ruins Realm are two sides of the same coin. While it may seem easy to open a passage to the Ruins Realm, it is actually not so easy.

If you consider the whole world as a sheet of paper, then breaking through the two worlds is like drilling a hole in that paper.

In fact, the thickness of this paper is not uniform; some parts may be extremely thick, while others may be extremely thin.

Even a celestial being, if they wanted to create a passage, could only start from an extremely thin spot; otherwise, it would be impossible.

And this Wugong Mountain is clearly not an extremely thin place.

Even with Lei Tianzun's power, it would be almost impossible for him to break through a passage here.

Besides, even if he could do it, those five Void Beast Celestial Venerables aren't dead. Would they obediently run back to the Void Realm?
Even if the three captured heroes changed their minds and chose to join forces with Lei Tianzun to deal with Xushou Tianzun, those five Xushou Tianzun were not without the power to fight back.

In short, there are too many things that Li Tianzun can't understand.

If it weren't for the large number of people present and his uncertainty about Lei Tianzun's whereabouts, he would have already revealed his identity and arrested Su Mu for severe interrogation.

Now, however, he has to consider the impact and can only ask in this passive way.

"Lord Lei, of course."

Besides Lei Tianzun, who else do you think could have this ability?

Su Mu said calmly.

Of course, he wouldn't tell the other party that he had torn open that spatial rift using the Heavenly Weapon.

Previously, Su Mu had buried most of the seventy-two Heavenly Decree Divine Weapons in specific locations within the Ruins Realm. These Heavenly Decree Divine Weapons were originally intended to transform Yin into Yang, but due to the matter of Bai Tianzun, Su Mu returned to the Yang Realm ahead of schedule.

Since not all seventy-two divine weapons of destiny were in place, the transformation of yin into yang could not be accomplished. However, this does not mean that the divine weapons of destiny that had already been buried were useless.

How could the Heavenly Destiny Divine Weapon Chart left by the Great Celestial Venerable be so simple?
These divine weapons of destiny contain the laws of heaven. Once activated, they can transform into a Great Wall barrier or tear apart the space between two realms.

Su Mu used the power of the Heavenly Mandate Divine Weapon to tear open a rift out of thin air, and used the pressure difference between the two realms to pull the five Void Beast Celestial Venerables back to the Void Realm.

Even Lei Tianzun was unaware of this process, so Su Mu naturally couldn't explain it to Li Tianzun.

He directly shifted the blame onto Lei Tianzun, since Su Mu figured the other party wouldn't confront Lei Tianzun anyway.

That being said, even if the other party did confront Lei Tianzun, would Lei Tianzun be able to tell them the truth?
Even Lei Tianzun himself doesn't know the truth of the matter.

"Impossible, even Thunder Celestial Venerable doesn't have that ability."

Li Tianzun blurted it out.

He immediately noticed that Su Mu was looking at him strangely.

Startled, Li Tianzun quickly explained, "What I mean is, could Lei Tianzun really have such great abilities?"

"You, a mere Heavenly Profound Realm cultivator, have no idea how powerful the Heavenly Venerable truly is?"

Su Mu said calmly, "Or are you saying you don't want Lei Tianzun to defeat the Void Beast?"

As soon as Su Mu said this, everyone around turned to look at Li Tianzun.

The Celestial Venerable of the Yang Realm defeated the Celestial Venerable of the Void Beast; this is truly a glorious moment for the Yang Realm.

If anyone doesn't want the Celestial Venerable of the Yang Realm to win, then he must be a traitor within the Yang Realm.

"You wouldn't have sided with the Void Beasts, would you?"

A powerful expert at the Heavenly Fate Realm said with a hostile expression.

"Hmph, I am mortal enemies with the Void Beast."

Li Tianzun snorted coldly.

A bunch of ants, how dare they speak to me like that?

If it weren't for the fact that I am not in a position to reveal my identity today—

Normally, these ants wouldn't even have the right to speak to him!
"Su Mu, where did Lei Tianzun and the others go to hunt down the Void Beasts? Let's catch up with them and lend them a hand."

Li Tianzun changed the subject.

"You're supposed to be a Heavenly Profound Realm martial artist, how can you be so hard of hearing? Didn't I just say that they've already invaded the Void Realm?"

Su Mu glanced at him and said casually.

Li Tianzun's chest heaved violently; he hadn't been this angry in a long time since he became a Tianzun.

He used almost all his strength to suppress the anger in his chest.

He stared at Su Mu, a deep killing intent flashing in the depths of his eyes.

"Disperse, everyone. This is Lei Tianzun's cultivation ground. Every plant and tree here was carefully cultivated by Lei Tianzun. You cannot afford any damage here."

Su Mu waved his hand and said.

Apart from Li Tianzun, everyone else was just there to join in the fun; none of them wanted to offend Lei Tianzun.

Although the place is now a mess and there are no plants or trees to be seen, there's no point in dwelling on it.

Upon hearing Su Mu's words, the crowd began to disperse.

A fierce glint flashed in Li Tianzun's eyes.

He can't kill Su Mu right now because there are too many people around.

Given the current situation, he didn't want people to associate Lei Tianzun's experience with him.

but--

If all these people leave, leaving only myself and Su Mu on Wugong Mountain...

Li Tianzun was already sneering inwardly.

Regardless of whether Lei Tianzun lives or dies, Su Mu must die today!
Li Tianzun seemed to already see the scene of him torturing and killing Su Mu when no one was on the mountain.

suddenly.

He saw Su Mu walking down the mountain with the others.

"What are you going to do? Shouldn't you be waiting for Lei Tianzun here?" Li Tianzun asked in astonishment.

I'm going to kill you, how can you leave?
"Who told you I was going to wait for Lei Tianzun here?"

Su Mu looked at Li Tianzun with a strange expression and said, "I don't think I need to explain to you what I want to do."

If you want to stay here, then stay here.

However, I must warn you, do not touch a single blade of grass or tree here, or the consequences will be unimaginable.

Li Tianzun: "..."

Before he could speak, Su Mu had already walked further and further away with those martial artists, and he even put his arm around the shoulders of a few of them.

It's almost impossible to kill Su Mu silently now, unless he can silence everyone present.

If it were truly necessary to kill everyone present, it wouldn't be too difficult for Li Tianzun.

But once he makes a move, the story of the Eight Celestial Venerables attacking and killing Thunder Celestial Venerable will become unclear.

If people find out that this matter is related to Li Tianzun, it's inevitable that some people will take advantage of the situation to attack the Cangqiong Sect.

Although the Celestial Venerables of the Yang Realm all have their own little schemes among themselves, there is an unspoken rule that among the Celestial Venerables, life and death are not considered unless absolutely necessary.

This time, Li Tianzun's gathering of multiple Tianzun to attack Lei Tianzun broke the rules in a sense.

If even the Celestial Venerable does this, wouldn't everyone be in danger?
Many Celestial Venerables were already unhappy with the Cangqiong Sect's monopoly of power. If they were given this opportunity, they might take the chance to attack the Cangqiong Sect.

Therefore, no matter what, Li Tianzun could not allow anyone to associate this matter with him.

He would rather find another opportunity to kill Su Mu than expose himself here.

Li Tianzun clenched his fists until Su Mu's figure disappeared from his sight. Only then did he snort coldly, stomp his foot, and his figure soared into the sky, disappearing in the blink of an eye.

…………

Su Mu appeared calm and collected, but in reality, he remained vigilant.

He only breathed a long sigh of relief when the gaze behind him disappeared.

Although there's a 70% chance that the elusive Celestial Venerable won't dare to make a move, what if he does?
He is now exhausted and has no strength to fight the Celestial Venerable.

That being said, even at his peak, he would only have the option of fleeing from the Celestial Venerable.

Who knows who this Celestial Venerable who came in hiding is, and how powerful he is?
Fortunately.

As expected, the other party was unwilling to reveal their identity, and tolerated my provocations several times.

"A dignified Celestial Venerable, yet he hides his true nature so secretly. It seems that the passing of these Void Beast Celestial Venerables is probably related to him."

Su Mu thought to himself, "Who knows, he might also be one of the masterminds behind this."

Who exactly wants to kill Lei Tianzun?

If Lei Tianzun were to die, who would benefit the most?

Su Mu thought about it for a long time, but because he knew too little about the relationship between the Heavenly Venerables, he couldn't come up with a conclusion.

However, if Lei Tianzun really died, the fall of a whale would bring forth countless life forms, and there would be too many people who would benefit.

Because of this, it is difficult to deduce who actually wanted Lei Tianzun dead.

Everyone is a suspect, which means no one is a suspect.

"Forget it, let Lei Tianzun worry about these things himself."

Su Mu muttered to himself, "However, I did save Lei Tianzun's life this time. Lei Tianzun is, after all, a Tianzun, so this life-saving grace—"

"And this Chaos Divine Weapon, if I can't bankrupt Thunder Celestial this time, then I, Su Mu, am truly incompetent."

Su Mu's lips curled up, and a smile involuntarily appeared on his face.

…………

boom!
Lei Tianzun smashed a small mountain to pieces with a single punch.

As the punch was unleashed, the anger on Lei Tianzun's face gradually disappeared.

After a long pause, he snorted coldly.

Those two bastards still managed to get away.

However, they can run away but they can't hide. We'll settle this score with them sooner or later.

"No matter who it is, if they dare to plot against me behind my back, I will expose them sooner or later!"

Lei Tianzun snorted coldly, "This time, I really owe it to Su Mu. If it weren't for his efforts in turning the tide, I would probably have really failed."

This life-saving favor has created a bit of a problem—

He frowned, looking troubled.

He had lived a life of great success, owing no one anything, yet this time he owed Su Mu a life-saving debt.

This kindness can never be repaid in any way.

"Leaving aside other matters, those two bastards dared to collude with the Void Beast Celestial Venerable to attack and kill me. Although we failed to kill them this time, they will have to pay the price!"

Lei Tianzun pondered, muttering to himself, "It seems that Su Mu's Great Xuan Dynasty has no foothold yet, while those two bastards have occupied two excellent locations."

"Let's give these two places to Su Mu's Great Xuan Dynasty for now."

Thinking of this, Lei Tianzun transformed into a bolt of lightning and instantly disappeared into the horizon.

…………

Just as Lei Tianzun was about to act, the two Heavenly Venerables who had attacked Lei Tianzun appeared in front of Li Tianzun of the Azure Sky Sect.

"Brother Li, we charged ahead this time, but Lei Tianzun will not let us off easily. This matter started because of you, so you must take responsibility."

Otherwise, we will definitely let Thunder Celestial Venerable know—”

A celestial being said in a deep voice.

Both celestial beings looked extremely grim.

As celestial beings, they had almost never suffered a defeat in their lives.

This attack on Lei Tianzun was the biggest failure they had ever suffered.

They still feel ashamed when they think about that embarrassing escape.

What celestial being would be so disgraced as they are?

If it were just about losing face, that would be one thing.

This situation is more than just embarrassing; Lei Tianzun knows who they are, and this matter is not over yet.

It's easy to imagine that Lei Tianzun would relentlessly pursue and attack them.

They weren't afraid, but neither of them were alone; they had so many disciples and followers.

If Lei Tianzun were to actually attack their disciples and followers, would they reveal themselves or not?

"Rest assured, you two. We are now of one mind and one heart, and I, Li, will certainly not ignore you."

Li Tianzun said in a deep voice, "This is what I think. Now we have already alerted the enemy, but in the end we failed to kill Lei Tianzun. Given Lei Tianzun's personality, he will definitely not let this go."

As long as you two don't show yourselves, Lei Tianzun won't be able to find you.

However, their respective sects are facing some trouble.

I think it would be better to have your disciples come to my Azure Sky Sect to avoid trouble.

"With our three sects joining forces, even Thunder Celestial Venerable wouldn't dare to cause trouble."

"You want our disciples to come to the Azure Sky Sect? Then you're giving up our territory?"

One of the Celestial Venerables frowned.

"Territory can be taken back if lost, but people are the most important. As long as people are still alive, nothing else matters."

Li Tianzun said in a deep voice, "As you all know, the Void Realm is now stirring up trouble. In the near future, a full-scale war will definitely break out between the Void Realm and the Yang Realm. At that time, territory will no longer be a problem."

The most urgent task is to overcome the current crisis.

The two celestial beings remained silent for a moment, and finally they nodded.

"In that case, our three sects will temporarily unite."

"This is definitely a wise choice."

Li Tianzun said with a smile, a hint of triumph flashing deep in his eyes.

…………

Mao Jiu, Ning Hongchen, and Qi Lingyun finally welcomed Su Mu.

Upon seeing Su Mu, the three of them breathed a sigh of relief.

"Are you really staying at Wugong Mountain to help Lei Tianzun deal with those other Tianzuns?"

Qi Lingyun couldn't help but ask.

She never believed what Mao Jiu and Ning Hongchen said.

She didn't believe anyone would be foolish enough to throw themselves into a fire when facing several people they could never defeat.

Besides, if Su Mu really stayed at Wugong Mountain, how could he be safe and sound now?
Those are seven Heavenly Venerables.

How could Lei Tianzun and Su Mu possibly deal with seven Tianzun?

"That's it."

Su Mu said casually, "But it mainly depends on Lei Tianzun. I was just cheering from the sidelines."

Fortunately, the Celestial Venerables also valued their lives. They didn't want to perish together with Thunder Celestial Venerable, so they all chose to retreat in the end.

"You're not trying to tell me that you and Lei Tianzun turned the tide and won, are you?"

Qi Lingyun frowned.

When the three of them were still around, Lei Tianzun and the other two almost got beaten to death.

As a result, the three of them escaped, and Lei Tianzun turned the tables and won?

Doesn't this mean they're all useless?
"If you insist on saying it that way, then you're not wrong."

Su Mu said calmly, "However, I think that we have not lost from beginning to end, so there is no question of turning defeat into victory."

In short, Lei Tianzun is still alive, and so are we.

I estimate that no one will bother us again anytime soon.

Lei Tianzun now owes him a favor, and four other celestial beings—Gu Tianzun, Zeng Tianzun, Chen Tianzun, and Zhao Tianzun—also need his help, in addition to Mao Jiu and Qi Lingyun.

Upon counting, Su Mu was astonished to find that there were actually seven Celestial Venerables standing behind him.

Besides, he and Ning Hongchen are also powerful figures capable of fighting against the Heavenly Venerable.

This power is in no way inferior even when facing the Azure Sky Sect.

The ancient celestial beings are right. With their support, Su Mu can become a true Yang Lord!
Under these circumstances, who in the mortal realm would dare to cause trouble for Su Mu?

With the support of several Celestial Venerables, when do you plan to become the Lord of Yang?

Ning Hongchen asked in a deep voice, "Now that the Void Realm has mobilized its troops, the Yang Realm needs a Yang Lord to lead everyone in resisting the invasion of the Void Realm."

Even if you have doubts about unifying the Saha world, this war is inevitable.

"This matter is not urgent. We will discuss it again after Lei Tianzun, Gu Tianzun, and Zeng Tianzun return."

Su Mu said slowly, "I had already sent a message to Da Xuan before the Ruins Realm raised an army, telling them to retreat to the Yang Realm. I don't know how they are doing now."

I used to have limited abilities, but now I can find a place for Da Xuan to settle down and make a living.

Even if I become the Lord of Yang, Da Xuan is still my base and my foundation.

This foundation must never be lost. (End of Chapter)
