The First Marquis of Daxuan

Hengshan Sect.

Jin Yi and Sun Jifeng stood back to back, surrounded by a group of people.

Those surrounding the two of them were actually a group of elders from the Hengshan Sect.

"Everyone, as I said, we have no ill intentions. We are here to help Su Mu, the peak master of Zhenyue Peak of Hengshan Sect."

Jin Yi said with a wry smile, "Why are you all so tense?"

"Jin Yi, do you think you can use his name so easily just because our Peak Master Su isn't here?"

An elder of the Hengshan Sect sneered, "If you don't have ulterior motives, then why would you sneak into my Hengshan Sect?"

Now that we've found out, you're saying this again? Do you think we're fools?

All the Hengshan Sect elders snorted coldly, their auras becoming even colder.

"Gentlemen, do you think I, with my status, can openly and honestly come to your door?"

Jin Yi said helplessly.

He originally only intended to sneak into Zhenyue Peak and wait for Su Mu to return.

Who would have thought that the Yokoyama Sect's defenses would be so formidable?

They were discovered as soon as they stepped into the territory of the Hengshan Sect.

Moreover, the elders of Hengshan Sect arrived so quickly that the two of them didn't even have time to escape.

This might also be because the Hengshan Sect produced a traitor like Xu Gu, which is why they are so vigilant now.

Jin Yi and Sun Jifeng were also filled with helplessness. In fact, now that Xu Gu had joined their Yanfu Sect, it was not unreasonable for them to bear the consequences caused by Xu Gu.

However, Jin Yi and Sun Jifeng really came for Su Mu this time, and definitely not to cause trouble for Hengshan Sect.

They did not want to fight the Yokoyama Clan.

"Since you know who you are, then just surrender obediently, and you might suffer less."

Otherwise—"

The elders of the Yokoyama Sect took a step forward, further tightening the encirclement.

"Old Jin, I told you to bring that kid Du Rongcheng along. He's from the Great Qian Dynasty. If he's here, who would dare to make a move?"

Sun Jifeng complained, "Now it's all settled, so tell me, are we going to fight or not?"

If a fight really broke out, neither of them would be afraid.

Despite their apparent weakness in front of Su Mu, their cultivation levels are actually quite high.

As Dao Origin Realm experts, they were generally beyond the reach of even the elders of Hengshan Sect.

Especially when the two of them team up.

Even though they were surrounded by several Hengshan Sect elders, they were confident they could break through.

People like Su Mu and the Great Celestial Venerable are rare to encounter in ordinary times.

As long as they don't encounter that kind of pervert, the two of them will still be outstanding individuals.

"The fewer people involved in something, the better."

Jin Yi said irritably, "If we bring Du Rongcheng along, who will get credit for rescuing the people from the Great Xuan Dynasty and the Void Beast King's Court?"
Wouldn't that mean a portion of Du Rongcheng's assets would be taken away?

They worked so hard to bring people out of this world of suffering; how can this credit be given to others?

"Gentlemen, let's each take a step back."

Jin Yi's gaze swept over the Hengshan Sect members, and he slowly said, "We won't enter the Hengshan Sect, so don't be so aggressive. Send someone to find Su Mu and let him decide, how about that?"

"Jin Yi, do you think we're haggling with you?"

An elder of the Hengshan Sect angrily said, "No matter how much the Hengshan Sect has declined, it will not tolerate your provocation!"
Since you're going to refuse a polite toast only to drink a forfeit, then you might as well die!

"Brothers, let's do it!"

Before the elder of Hengshan Sect could finish speaking, a blinding light emanated from his hand as he threw a punch at Jin Yi.

Other elders of the Hengshan Sect also took action.

In an instant, a howling gust of wind descended from all directions upon Jin Yi and Sun Jifeng.

Left with no other option, Jin Yi and Sun Jifeng had to launch a counterattack.

Just when it seemed the two sides were about to clash.

suddenly.

A gust of wind descended from the sky and landed with a loud thud between the two sides.

Ding Deng Deng.

Both sides were intimidated by the powerful aura and involuntarily took a few steps back.

"Su Mu!"

Jin Yi and Sun Jifeng were overjoyed.

The elders of the Hengshan Sect looked both surprised and frightened.

They could clearly sense the aura emanating from Su Mu. How long had it been since they last met? Su Mu had become even stronger.
This aura—

They had only experienced this with the Grand Elder of the Hengshan Sect, who was still the Grand Elder in his prime when he was young.

It should be noted that the Grand Elder was only one step away from the Dao Realm at his peak.

Could it be that Su Mu has also reached the level that the Grand Elder once achieved?
But how old is Su Mu?

He's not even a thousand years old yet, how could he have already reached this level?
The elders of the Yokoyama sect had very mixed feelings.

At a time when the Hengshan Sect is in decline, the emergence of such a talented disciple is a good thing for the sect.

Perhaps, the Yokoyama sect will experience a revival.

But being born in the same era as such a genius is a tragedy for those who are arrogant about their own talent.

Because of the existence of such geniuses, it will undoubtedly be more difficult for them to stand out.

Of course, those with ambitions left Hengshan Sect with Xu Gu, and those who are still in Hengshan Sect are all of relatively peaceful temperament.

Although they had their own thoughts, overall, they liked Su Mu more than they hated him.

"Peak Master Su, these two elders from the Yanfu Sect say they've come to help you—"

An elder of the Hengshan Sect hesitated before speaking.

They all knew that Su Mu had claimed to have killed Jin Yi and Sun Jifeng.

Now that Jin Yi and Sun Jifeng are still alive, it proves that Su Mu lied back then.

In the past, Yokoyama Sect would naturally have pursued this matter to the end.

Colluding with the Yanfu Sect is a capital offense.

But now, the Hengshan Sect is in turmoil, and Su Mu's cultivation has broken through one after another. For a moment, they don't know how to treat Su Mu.

“Peak Master Su, our Yanfu Sect is, after all, a force of the Great Qian Dynasty, and there are some things we should not do too far.”

An elder from the Hengshan Sect whispered a reminder to Su Mu.

He had already subtly reminded Su Mu.

Getting too close to the Yanfu Sect could lead to trouble if it gets back to the Great Qian Dynasty. Even the Hengshan Sect might not be able to protect Su Mu.

"Everyone."

Before Su Mu could speak, a voice suddenly rang in everyone's ears.

"I asked Peak Master Su to contact these two elders of the Yanfu Sect."

Accompanied by the sound, an old and frail figure appeared before everyone.

The visitor was none other than the Grand Elder of the Hengshan Sect.

"Great Elder."

The members of the Yokoyama Sect bowed in greeting.

"Elders, I had Peak Master Su contact these two elders because there is a matter concerning the life and death of Hengshan Sect that I need to deal with. I will explain this matter to you all later. Now, everyone, please disperse. Elder Jin and Elder Sun are not enemies of Hengshan Sect at present."

The Grand Elder of the Yokoyama Sect spoke slowly.

The members of the Yokoyama Sect looked at each other in bewilderment.

They were filled with doubt, but the Grand Elder of Hengshan Sect held extremely high prestige within the sect, and none of them believed that the Grand Elder would do anything detrimental to Hengshan Sect.

Hearing what the elder said, they were still a little confused, but they knew that now was not the time to ask further questions.

After bowing to the Grand Elder of the Hengshan Sect, everyone dispersed.

Soon, only the Grand Elder of the Yokoyama Sect, Su Mu, Jin Yi, and Sun Jifeng remained at the scene.

"Elder, I'm sorry to have troubled you."

Su Mu cupped his hands in greeting to the Grand Elder and spoke.

"Fortunately, this trouble is less than I expected."

The Grand Elder of the Yokoyama Sect smiled slightly and said, "I already know about the events in the Saha World. It is fortunate that you were able to escape from the Saha World."

I'm so happy that you can return to Yokoyama Sect.

Since you've already come to regard the Yokoyama Clan as your home, then this home will naturally accept everything about you.

Although he knew that the Grand Elder of the Hengshan Sect was using him, Su Mu felt a warmth welling up in his heart because of the beautiful words the elder had said.

The Saha World was devoured by the Great Celestial Venerable. Su Mu and his brothers from the Great Xuan Dynasty are now all homeless wanderers, in a situation even worse than Xu Gu's back then.

At this point, Yokoyama Sect was actually taking a risk by accepting them.

Su Mu's identity is, after all, fake. If the Great Qian Dynasty were to expose Su Mu's true identity, it would inevitably bring some trouble to the Hengshan Sect.

Moreover, who knows what kind of impact it will have on the Hengshan Sect by leaving so many people of unknown origin here?

However, the Grand Elder of the Yokoyama Sect still accepted them.

The words spoken by the Grand Elder of the Yokoyama Sect just now have already shown his attitude.

The Grand Elder of Hengshan Sect took the blame for his collusion with Yanfu Sect, and from now on, no one can use the issues of Jin Yi and Sun Jifeng to make things difficult for Su Mu.

"Elder, I won't say anything more."

Su Mu said solemnly, "After I achieve the Dao Ultimate, I will protect the Hengshan Sect for a thousand years."

“If I didn’t know your character, I wouldn’t have allowed you to join the Hengshan Sect in the first place.”

The Grand Elder of Hengshan Sect said with a smile, "Your Zhenyue Peak is a bit small and can't accommodate too many people."

I've already had several peaks cleared out in the Hengduan Mountains; that should be enough. If not, we also control several cities at the foot of the mountains.

"Kindness without saying thanks."

Su Mu cupped his hands in a fist salute and said.

"We're family, so let's not beat around the bush. If I'm not mistaken, you're probably looking for revenge against that Great Celestial Venerable, right?"

The Great Celestial Venerable laughed.

"Yes."

Su Mu nodded and said, "The Great Celestial Venerable has devoured the Saha World, but it will take him some time to digest it. Now is the best time for me to take revenge."

Even if I can't kill him, I can't let him digest this world so easily!

"He really is the Su Mu I know."

The Grand Elder of Hengshan Sect said with a smile, "From now on, the Hengshan Sect's treasury is open to you, and you can take any resources you want."

"Furthermore, I have already sent Miss Lin Nianchu back to the Danxia Sect. By now, she should be heading back with the sect's resources."

…………

The Great Elder of Hengshan Sect was a shrewd and experienced man. When Su Mu returned to Hengshan Sect, he had already made all the necessary preparations.

He combined the strength of Hengshan Sect and Danxia Sect to help Su Mu quickly improve his cultivation.

Once Su Mu achieves the Dao Extreme Realm, the crisis facing Hengshan Sect and Danxia Sect will be easily resolved.

As for helping Su Mu take revenge, that was merely a side favor. For the Hengshan Sect and the Danxia Sect, what happened in the Saha World was not a bad thing.

With the Saha World gone, Su Mu has no way out. He can only stay in the Great Qian Dynasty and rely on the Hengshan Sect and the Danxia Sect.

"See that? That's what a master does."

Jin Yi sighed with admiration, "As expected of the Grand Elder of Hengshan Sect, with just a few moves, Su Mu has been completely bound to the Hengshan Sect's war chariot. I admire him."

"You still admire me?"

Sun Jifeng said irritably, "Su Mu has been completely bound to the Hengshan Sect's war chariot, which means that we can no longer win Su Mu over to the Yanfu Sect."
"The Yokoyama Sect is our enemy. The stronger the Yokoyama Sect becomes, the more we'll suffer."

"Who said the Yokoyama Clan is our enemy?"

Jin Yi said, "Our Yanfu Sect's enemy is the Great Qian Dynasty, which is completely different from the Hengshan Sect."

Who dares to say that the Yokoyama sect cannot become our friend in the future?

"Yokoyama Sect has become our friend?"

Sun Jifeng frowned and said, "Who doesn't know that Huang Chao, the sect leader of Hengshan Sect, is a staunch supporter of the Great Qian Dynasty?"

"What if the leader of the Yokoyama Sect is no longer Huang Chao?"

Jin Yi said meaningfully, "It's not certain whether Huang Chao can come back."

If Huang Chao doesn't return, who do you think will be the sect leader of Hengshan Sect?

"Su Mu?"

Sun Jifeng was silent for a moment, then said with some doubt.

Jin Yi's eyes became incredibly deep.

…………

A mass of chaos floated in the boundless void.

The chaos was like a chicken egg, within which a human figure was encased.

The figure closed his eyes and sat cross-legged, his internal energy and chaos constantly circulating.

This person is none other than the Great Celestial Venerable.

This chaotic mass is the most fundamental power of the Saha world.

The Great Celestial Venerable is absorbing this power into his body.

Once he has absorbed all the chaos, he will be able to break free from his shell.

At that time, he was a true Dao Realm expert.

Even among Dao Realm experts, he could be considered one of the best.

Su Mu's figure appeared in the void, looking at the chaotic mass in the distance.

He was accompanied by several people.

His Daoist partner in the Great Qian Dynasty was Lin Nianchu, an elder of the Danxia Sect.

Elder Jin Yi and Sun Jifeng of Yanfu Sect.

Grand Elder of the Yokoyama Sect.

Others include Luo Anning, Xiang Xiaoyuan, and Dongfang Liuyun.

Su Mu passed on the Danxia Zhaotian Technique to Luo Anning and Xiang Xiaoyuan, and they have already completed dual cultivation. Their cultivation has broken through to the Heavenly Venerable Realm, which is not considered weak even in the Great Qian Dynasty.

However, the reason Su Mu brought them along this time was purely to broaden their horizons.

The same applies to Dongfang Liuyun and others.

His main force in this revenge mission was himself, along with the Grand Elder of Hengshan Sect and Jin Yi and Sun Jifeng of Yanfu Sect.

Even Lin Nianchu might not have a chance to make a move.

"That's a truly horrifying method."

Looking at the chaotic mass, the Grand Elder of Hengshan Sect couldn't help but sigh, "Many people know about the method of devouring a small world to break through to the Dao Extreme Realm, and many people want to try it, but this is the first time I've seen someone truly succeed."

This person's cunning and scheming are far from ordinary.

"He is indeed a remarkable person."

Su Mu said that although they were enemies, he greatly admired the Great Celestial Venerable's methods.

"Elder, do you have a way to interrupt him?"

Su Mu asked.

During this period, he consumed a lot of resources, and his cultivation level took another step forward.

However, it is still some distance from the true Dao Realm.

He could have waited until he truly broke through to the Dao Realm before seeking revenge, but he couldn't bear it any longer.

Just as he told the Grand Elder of the Hengshan Sect, even if he couldn't kill the Great Celestial Venerable, he couldn't let the Great Celestial Venerable digest the Saha World so easily.

"Our Hengshan Sect excels at attacking fortified positions."

The Grand Elder of the Hengshan Sect shook his head. "I can throw two punches at him, but he is currently protected by chaotic power. With my current strength, I'm afraid I can't break through his defense."

He has already devoured the Saha world, and now a world barrier surrounds his body. As for methods to break through this barrier, the Yama Sect should be quite adept at it.

The Yanfu Sect stirs up trouble everywhere, and their greatest skill is infiltrating various small worlds.

“If it were a normal Saha world, I could break through its barrier, but now the Great Celestial Venerable has devoured the Saha world, and the world barrier has been condensed to its limit. Our Yamafu Sect’s secret techniques are no match for it.”

Jin Yi shook his head and said.

"I can try."

Elder Lin Nianchu of the Danxia Sect suddenly spoke up, “Our Danxia Illuminating Heaven Technique can seize the power of chaos.”

Senior Brother Su, if the two of us join forces, we should be able to seize his Chaos Power. Even if we only seize a trace, it will prevent him from achieving his full potential.

"As long as you leave even the slightest opening, it will be your chance to defeat him someday."

They only have one chance to make a move. Once they do, the Great Celestial Venerable will take the Saha World and disappear into the void, making it almost impossible to find him again.

To be honest, it was good luck that we were able to find the Great Celestial Venerable this time.

In order to find the Great Celestial Venerable, the Grand Elder of Hengshan Sect sent out almost all of the sect's disciples.

It can be said that Hengshan Sect went to great lengths to help Su Mu vent his anger.

"Seize the power of chaos?"

The Grand Elder of the Hengshan Sect, along with Jin Yi and Sun Jifeng, looked at Lin Nianchu with some surprise.

Unexpectedly, the Danxia Sect possesses such methods.

No wonder the Danxia Sect has been able to stand strong for so many years.

If one could truly seize the power of chaos, it would be like pulling teeth from a tiger's mouth, snatching a piece of cake directly from the mouth of the Great Celestial Venerable.

The Great Celestial Venerable originally devoured the entire small world, but if someone were to take away a wisp of chaotic power, it would be equivalent to the Saha world he devoured not being complete, which would inevitably leave a flaw in the Great Celestial Venerable's cultivation.

What revenge could be more powerful than this?

The thought that the Great Celestial Venerable's cultivation might leave a slight flaw made not only Su Mu but everyone else somewhat excited.

"You all go ahead and do as you please; I will hold off the Great Celestial Venerable's counterattack."

The Grand Elder of the Hengshan Sect said in a deep voice, "Although I am old, I can still hold him off for the time it takes for an incense stick to burn."

The Grand Elder of Yokoyama Sect showed a rare expression of confidence.

Although he looks old and frail, he was once a powerful figure who dominated the world.

There are even rumors that he was once the number one person below the Dao Extreme Realm.

Only those who know him well know that this is not a rumor.

At his peak, the Grand Elder of the Hengshan Sect was invincible below the Dao Extreme Realm.

If he hadn't accidentally damaged his foundation later, he would have already been a Dao Extreme Realm expert.

Even so, it's not impossible for the Grand Elder of Hengshan Sect to hold off the Great Celestial Venerable for the time it takes for an incense stick to burn.

After all, before fully absorbing the Saha World, the Great Celestial Venerable could not be considered a true Dao Limit Realm expert.

"Although we are no match for him, it is not a problem for us to assist the Grand Elder in causing him some trouble."

Jin Yi and Sun Jifeng also drew their weapons and said solemnly.

The two of them didn't stay because they were just there for the fun of it.

The reason they stayed here was to seize every opportunity to curry favor with Su Mu.

They have now completely placed all their bets on Su Mu.

"In that case——"

Su Mu said slowly, "Then let the Great Celestial Venerable know what the consequences are for offending me!"

A sharp glint flashed in Su Mu's eyes.

A gentleman takes revenge from morning till night.

From this moment on, Su Mu's revenge begins, a fight to the death!
Before Su Mu could finish speaking, the Grand Elder of Hengshan Sect had already stepped forward.

He took a step forward, and his aura exploded.

At a speed visible to the naked eye, Elder Yokoyama was actually getting younger.

After a few steps, he had returned to his adult form.

"Su Mu, make your move!"

The Grand Elder of the Yokoyama Sect shouted.

The Great Celestial Venerable within the Chaos Chicken suddenly opened his eyes, a flash of anger in them.

At this moment, Su Mu and Lin Nianchu clasped hands together, and the two began to circulate the Danxia Illuminating Heaven Technique simultaneously.

hum!
A burst of seven-colored light instantly fell upon the Chaos Chicken Egg, forcibly extracting a wisp of chaotic energy from it.

The Great Celestial Venerable roared and unleashed a punch through the Chaos Chicken Egg.

But before his punch could land on Su Mu and Lin Nianchu, the Grand Elder of Hengshan Sect had already shattered that force with a single punch.

Jin Yi and Sun Jifeng stealthily circled around to the side, brandishing their heavenly soldiers, and launched a sneak attack on the Great Celestial Venerable.

The Great Celestial Venerable, enraged, stood up from within the chaotic egg and unleashed punch after punch.

But no matter how violent his power was, the Grand Elder of the Yokoyama Sect stood there and blocked all his attacks without retreating an inch.

The Great Celestial Venerable, now back to his prime, is terrifyingly powerful.

Seeing this, Su Mu felt relieved and began to wholeheartedly absorb the chaotic energy.

The seven-colored light shone brightly, and a wisp of chaotic energy was pulled by the seven-colored light and sent towards Su Mu and Lin Nianchu.

That wisp of chaotic energy stretched longer and longer, and the rage in the Great Celestial Venerable's eyes seemed to burn everything to ashes.

He grabbed one end of the wisp of chaotic energy and tried his best to pull it back.

With his own strength, he actually managed to pull that wisp of chaotic energy back towards the Chaos Chicken.

If it were just Su Mu and Lin Nianchu, even with the Danxia Zhaotian Technique, it would be almost impossible for them to successfully seize a wisp of chaotic energy.

The Great Celestial Venerable's strength is indeed too formidable.

However, this time it wasn't just Su Mu and Lin Nianchu who made a move.

They have helpers!

The Grand Elder of the Hengshan Sect roared, and cracking sounds echoed as his body suddenly swelled several times its original size.

He stepped forward and plunged directly into the Chaos Chicken Egg.

Yokoyama Sect is indeed adept at attacking fortified positions.

The Grand Elder of the Hengshan Sect's claim of blocking the Great Celestial Venerable for the duration of an incense stick's burning actually meant actively attacking him for that duration! (End of Chapter)
