The First Marquis of Daxuan

Before Su Mu could even finish his hesitation, Ye Jiuding had already pulled him toward the entrance of the Great Luo Heaven.

When he came to his senses, he was surrounded by soldiers of the Great Qian Dynasty.

In fact, given Su Mu's strength, even with Ye Jiuding included, if he wanted to leave, they wouldn't be able to stop him.

However, he is not confident that he can kill all of them in one strike. Once he makes a move, it will inevitably cause quite a commotion.

Once this commotion is made, it will surely attract the attention of powerful figures from the Great Qian Dynasty.

After all, Su Mu didn't know exactly how many troops from the Great Qian Dynasty were stationed nearby.

He is currently recovering from serious injuries, and if the Great Qian Dynasty takes notice of him, things could get complicated.

He is not afraid of the Dao Source Realm, but he will be in mortal danger if he encounters the Dao Extreme Realm.

Left with no other choice, Su Mu could only follow Ye Jiuding towards the Great Luo Heaven.

Su Mu was not one to hesitate or look back. He originally did not want to come to Da Luo Tian, ​​but now that he was here, he had nothing to regret.

Let's take a look at what's so mysterious about this legendary Great Luo Heaven.

Looking around, Su Mu saw squads of soldiers from the Great Qian Dynasty patrolling back and forth.

The soldiers exuded a menacing aura, each one fully on alert, clearly indicating they were in a state of war.

In the distance, faint yet powerful auras lingered.

Those were all top experts of the Great Qian Dynasty.

However, Su Mu did not detect the aura of the Dao Extreme Realm.

Come to think of it, the Great Qian Dynasty only has nine Dao Realm experts in total, how could it be such a coincidence that he would meet them here?

Moreover, according to Su Mu's knowledge, most of the Dao Extreme Realm experts of the Great Qian Dynasty should be in the Great Luo Heaven now.

With these thoughts in mind, Su Mu and Ye Jiuding arrived at the mountain wall leading to the Great Luo Heaven.

At this moment, dozens of martial artists had gathered in front of the mountain wall. When they saw Su Mu and Ye Jiuding arrive, they all looked up.

Su Mu spotted a familiar figure in the crowd at a glance.

Grand Elder of the Yokoyama Sect.

When he saw the Grand Elder of Hengshan Sect, the Grand Elder of Hengshan Sect also saw Su Mu.

A hint of surprise flashed in the depths of his eyes, but the old man of the Hengshan Sect was shrewd and experienced, and he immediately lowered his eyelids to hide the strangeness in his eyes.

Because he knew that now was not the best time to acknowledge Su Mu as his father.

Fortunately, although there were many people here, no one except him knew Su Mu.

Although Su Mu has a great reputation, not many people have actually met him.

Ye Jiuding greeted the people as if they were very familiar with each other, and quite a few of them did recognize him.

When they curiously inquired about Su Mu's identity, Ye Jiuding waved his hand and casually said, "He's a little brother I brought along. His cultivation level is average. I'm just bringing him here to broaden his horizons. Please take good care of him for my sake."

"By the way, kid, tell everyone your name."

"My name is Su Heng."

Su Mu smiled faintly and said.

The Grand Elder of the Yokoyama Sect raised his head, a strange smile appearing on his lips.

Su Heng, this Heng, is it the Heng of Hengshan Sect?

Su Mu, it seems, has indeed developed feelings for their Hengshan Sect.

But why did Su Mu also come here?
He's an old man, so it's fine if he dies. Anyway, with Su Mu in Hengshan Sect, things won't be too bad in the future.

But now, Su Mu has also come to the Great Luo Heaven!
Su Mu was the leader he chose for the Hengshan Sect.

The old sect leader Huang Chao is trapped in the Great Luo Heaven. Now he has been forced to come here as well. If Su Mu also comes, who can the Hengshan Sect rely on for the future?

The Grand Elder of the Yokoyama Sect frowned deeply.

He secretly made up his mind that no matter what happened in the future, he must protect Su Mu.

Even if he dies, he wants to leave a hope for the Yokoyama Clan!
Ye Jiuding had finished exchanging pleasantries with those people and then sat down with Su Mu, who happened to be sitting next to the Grand Elder of Hengshan Sect.

"Elder, what are you doing here?"

Su Mu remained calm and communicated through telepathy.

"That's also the question I wanted to ask you."

The voice of the Grand Elder of the Yokoyama Sect carried a bitter smile as he transmitted the message, "Emperor Qian ordered my forced conscription."

If I hadn't come, the army of the Great Qian Dynasty would probably have immediately descended upon Hengshan Sect.

"And you, didn't you go to the Yanfu Secret Realm? How come you're here?"

"It just so happens that it can't be explained in a sentence or two."

Su Mu replied evasively, "Why did Emperor Qian summon so many experts here?"

"Break the formation."

The Grand Elder of Hengshan Sect explained, "There is a Luotian Grand Formation outside this Great Luotian to resist foreign invasion. If the army of the Great Qian Dynasty wants to enter the Great Luotian, it must break through this major formation."

The Great Qian Dynasty had originally been torn open by a rift, but that rift could only accommodate a few people at a time, and now it has healed itself.

Therefore, the Great Qian Dynasty summoned experts from all walks of life in order to widen this rift even further.

"Su Mu, don't go all out later, I'll take care of everything."

The Grand Elder of the Yokoyama Sect gave Su Mu a deep look.

Su Mu smiled slightly.

The Grand Elder of Hengshan Sect was unaware that he had already broken through to the Dao Extreme Realm, but he could feel the Grand Elder's care and concern.

"Elder, open your mouth."

Su Mu transmitted his voice.

The Grand Elder of the Yokoyama Sect looked bewildered, not understanding what was going on.

But out of trust in Su Mu, he subconsciously opened his mouth.

The next moment, the Grand Elder of Hengshan Sect felt a ray of light fly out of Su Mu's hand. Before he could react, the ray of light had already landed in his mouth.

Su Mu moved quickly, and since everyone was discussing the Great Luo Heaven, no one noticed his subtle actions.

The Grand Elder of the Yokoyama Sect felt a surge of heat flow down his throat, instantly entering his lower abdomen, and then exploding with a bang.

If he hadn't trusted Su Mu, the Grand Elder of Hengshan Sect might have even thought that Su Mu had poisoned him.

However, this is clearly unnecessary.

His lifespan is nearing its end, and he won't live much longer. Besides, Su Mu has no reason to harm him.

Just then, the Grand Elder of the Yokoyama Sect suddenly felt a surge of heat flow through his entire body, and then all the cells in his body seemed to be reborn.

An immense vitality was born from the depths of the cells.

The white hair of the Grand Elder of the Yokoyama Sect turned black at a visible speed, the wrinkles on his face disappeared, and he returned to his middle-aged appearance.

The Grand Elder of the Yokoyama Sect was completely astonished. He felt as if he had truly returned to his prime, as if he had been rejuvenated.

This is not a change in appearance, but a change from the inside out.

He could clearly feel that his vitality, which had been as fragile as a candle in the wind, was constantly expanding.

He looked at Su Mu with a face full of astonishment.

Su Mu smiled and nodded slightly.

"Sanshenghua."

Su Mu transmitted his voice calmly.

A storm raged in the eyes of the Grand Elder of the Yokoyama Sect.

Sanshenghua? !

Of course he knew what the Three-Life Flower was.

Over the years, he also mobilized the power of the Yokoyama Sect to search for the Three-Life Flower, but to no avail.

The Three-Life Flower is a legendary thing. Since ancient times, people have only heard of its name, but no one has ever obtained it.

The Grand Elder of the Yokoyama Sect never expected that Su Mu would actually obtain the Three-Life Flower!
What surprised him even more was that Su Mu was willing to give him the Three-Life Flower!
That's the Three-Life Flower!

The Three-Life Flower that can give people a second chance at life!
Su Mu is young now, but one day he will grow old.

When Su Mu's lifespan is nearing its end, this Three-Life Flower will allow him to live another life.

This is a life.

Such a precious thing, and Su Mu actually gave it to this old geezer?
boom!
It's too late, but it's soon.

The aura emanating from the Grand Elder of the Yokoyama Sect exploded violently.

Waves of energy emanated from Elder Hengshan Sect, spreading outwards like boiling water.

This aura continued to rise, and in just an instant it reached the peak of the Dao Source Realm.

boom! boom! boom!
The shockwave continues to rise.

Everyone stared wide-eyed at the Grand Elder of the Yokoyama Sect, their faces filled with disbelief.

Such a commotion also alerted the people of the Great Qian Dynasty not far away.

One army after another quickly surrounded them, and a general even appeared, looking at the Grand Elder of the Yokoyama Sect with a face full of surprise.

It is common knowledge that the Grand Elder of the Yokoyama Sect is nearing the end of his life.

No one expected that the Grand Elder of Hengshan Sect would break through at this time! It is said that Hengshan Sect has been on the verge of decline since the emergence of the traitor, but unexpectedly, the Grand Elder of Hengshan Sect is about to break through to the Dao Extreme Realm.

Once the Grand Elder of Hengshan Sect breaks through to the Dao Extreme Realm, Hengshan Sect will be able to stabilize.

"Everyone stay where you are and do not move. Otherwise you will be making an enemy of the Great Qian Dynasty and will be killed without mercy!"

A figure flew over, glanced at the Grand Elder of Hengshan Sect with a look of surprise, and then shouted.

This man was none other than Du Bao, the Minister of Works of the Great Qian Dynasty and also Du Rongcheng's father.

The Grand Elder of the Yokoyama Sect is also Du Bao's cousin.

If the Grand Elder of the Hengshan Sect breaks through to the Dao Extreme Realm, it will be good news for the Du family.

With a member of the family reaching the Dao Realm, it's a certainty that the Du family will become a top family in the Great Qian Dynasty.

At this moment, Du Bao naturally had to ensure that no one disturbed the Great Elder of the Hengshan Sect's breakthrough.

The generals of the Great Qian Dynasty glanced at Du Bao, but no one dared to disrespect him at this moment.

Moreover, Hengshan Sect is a powerful force of the Great Qian Dynasty. If Hengshan Sect produces a Dao Extreme Realm cultivator, it is equivalent to the Great Qian Dynasty producing a Dao Extreme Realm cultivator.

Su Mu stood in the crowd, a hint of surprise flashing deep in his eyes.

The Three-Life Flower was given to the Grand Elder of the Hengshan Sect, but only to help him prolong his life.

Even he didn't expect that after regaining his life, the Grand Elder of the Hengshan Sect would actually break through to the next level.

However, thinking about it, the Grand Elder of Hengshan Sect was originally a prodigy of Hengshan Sect. If he hadn't been injured when he was young, damaging his foundation, he would probably have already reached the Dao Extreme Realm.

Now, the Three-Life Flower has not only restored his vitality but also repaired his injuries.

With the accumulated strength over the years suddenly erupting, it was only natural that the Grand Elder of Hengshan Sect broke through to the Dao Extreme Realm.

"Unbelievable, unbelievable..."

Ye Jiuding whispered in Su Mu's ear, "I never thought I'd be so lucky to witness someone break through to the Dao Extreme Realm."

I'm already at the peak of the Dao Source Realm, and my next step is to break through to the Dao Extreme Realm. Now is a good time to gain some experience.

He was eager to try his hand at it.

Judging from his appearance, Su Mu suspected that he wanted to try to break through to the Dao Extreme Realm on the spot.

However, given Ye Jiuding's current state, breaking through to the Dao Extreme Realm seems unlikely.

It's too late, but it's soon.

The body of the Grand Elder of the Yokoyama Sect had already flown into the air, his arms outstretched, his beard and hair flying.

A huge vortex in the sky, shaped like a funnel, poured the spiritual energy of heaven and earth into the top of his head.

Su Mu nodded slightly.

The Grand Elder of Hengshan Sect has accumulated a wealth of experience and now possesses the medicinal power of the Three Life Flowers, making it no problem for him to break through to the Dao Extreme Realm.

While everyone was focused on the Grand Elder of Hengshan Sect, Su Mu still had time to observe the people around him.

His gaze fell upon Du Bao, the Minister of Works whom he had long admired. Du Bao appeared shrewd and capable, quite different from Du Rongcheng.

He also saw a general clad in armor, whose aura was concealed and not released; he was actually a Dao Realm expert.

Clearly, this person is the ballast stone that the Great Qian Dynasty has placed here.

Without a Dao Extreme Realm expert in charge, even with a large army, it would be difficult to make these unruly Dao Source Realm experts obey orders.

Su Mu secretly became alert, and subtly circulated his internal energy to conceal his aura.

Although the chances of the other party seeing through him are slim, it's always better to be safe than sorry.

In his current state, he is indeed not qualified to fight against a Dao Realm expert.

However, having said that, the Grand Elder of Hengshan Sect has already broken through, and with such a Dao Extreme Realm expert protecting him, he doesn't need to worry about any danger.

As for whether the Grand Elder of the Hengshan Sect would turn his back on him after breaking through, Su Mu didn't think so.

He was quite confident in his ability to judge people.

The breakthrough of the Grand Elder of the Yokoyama Sect lasted for a whole day.

Then, his aura suddenly subsided, and a middle-aged man who looked to be in his thirties appeared before everyone.

He was radiant and full of vigor.

"Congratulations, Elder."

The general of the Great Qian Dynasty, who was at the Dao Extreme Realm, cupped his hands and said loudly, "It is truly a cause for celebration that our Great Qian Dynasty has gained another Dao Extreme Realm expert."

"Thank you, Brother Zhang."

The Grand Elder of the Yokoyama Sect cupped his hands and said calmly, "Today's breakthrough was truly a stroke of luck."

Brother Zhang, I have just broken through to a higher level, and my cultivation is not yet stable. I wonder if I could return to my sect for seclusion first, and then come back to serve you once my cultivation has stabilized?

“That’s as it should be.”

The Dao Realm expert from the Great Qian Dynasty pondered for a moment and slowly said, "In that case, I will first inform His Majesty of this good news. Brother Du, you can now stabilize your cultivation in my camp. I guarantee that no one will disturb you."

"Once His Majesty's decree arrives, Brother Du can then decide whether to stay or leave, what do you say?"

Originally, these Dao Source Realm experts were recruited to serve as cannon fodder, but now that the Great Elder of Hengshan Sect has broken through to the Dao Extreme Realm, he can no longer be treated with the same attitude as before.

However, it is impossible to send the Grand Elder of Hengshan Sect back to Hengshan Sect.

In order to attack the Great Luo Heaven, the Great Qian Dynasty has already exhausted all its resources. Now that it has finally gained a Dao Extreme Realm expert, how could it possibly let him go back to live a carefree life?

When attacking Da Luo Tian, ​​we need the help of the Grand Elder of Hengshan Sect.

The Grand Elder of the Yokoyama Sect frowned slightly, but he quickly regained his composure.

The Great Qian Dynasty is already bloodthirsty and will certainly not let go of such a capable lieutenant as him.

He pondered for a moment, then suddenly raised his hand and pointed at Su Mu.

“Brother Zhang, I am alone this time and have no one to serve me, so let him stay by my side to serve me.”

"This is what the Grand Elder of the Yokoyama Sect said."

The expert surnamed Zhang, who was at the Dao Extreme Realm, glanced at Su Mu. Seeing that he was just a martial artist at the early stage of the Dao Source Realm, he didn't care much and casually said, "This is a trivial matter, so naturally it is up to you, Brother Du."

"Du Bao".

The expert surnamed Zhang, who was at the Dao Realm, turned around and called out, "You have a close relationship with Brother Du. During this period, you will be in charge of protecting Brother Du in his seclusion. If anything goes wrong, I will hold you accountable!"

What kind of unexpected events could happen to a Dao Extreme Realm expert?
The Zhang family's Dao Realm expert did this to guard against the departure of the Hengshan Sect's Grand Elder.

Du Bao is, after all, the nephew of the Grand Elder of Hengshan Sect. If the Grand Elder of Hengshan Sect secretly leaves, then Du Bao will be held accountable.

Even for the sake of his nephew's life, the Grand Elder of the Yokoyama Sect could not easily leave this place.

"Yes."

Du Bao obeyed the order respectfully; even though he was the Minister of Works, he still had to be respectful to the Nine Extremes of the Great Qian Dynasty.

The Grand Elder of the Yokoyama Sect nodded calmly, his expression remaining impassive.

"that--"

Summoning his courage, Ye Jiuding boldly said, "My lords, Su Heng is a brother I brought with me. How about I serve you with him?"

The Grand Elder of the Yokoyama Sect subconsciously wanted to look at Su Mu, but he forcibly controlled his gaze.

In front of that expert surnamed Zhang, any abnormality would be detected by him.

Su Mu's identity is not suitable to be exposed to the powerful figures of the Great Qian Dynasty.

Su Mu was also somewhat surprised by Ye Jiuding's boldness.

He shared the same concerns as the Grand Elder of the Hengshan Sect, and it was inconvenient for him to remind the Grand Elder at this time.

The Grand Elder of Hengshan Sect pondered for a moment, and confirmed that he had indeed seen Ye Jiuding and Su Mu arrive together.

"Alright, Brother Zhang, is it no problem for me to take one more person?"

The Grand Elder of the Yokoyama Sect spoke up.

A hint of displeasure flashed deep in the eyes of the Dao Extreme Realm expert surnamed Zhang. Was it easy for him to recruit a group of Dao Source Realm experts?

One early stage Dao Source Realm is fine, but now they want a peak Dao Source Realm?

He didn't recruit many peak Dao Source Realm cultivators, okay?
Without a peak Dao Source Realm cultivator, how can he break the Luo Tian Grand Formation?

However, the Grand Elder of Hengshan Sect had just broken through to the Dao Extreme Realm, and it wouldn't be appropriate for me to refuse him at this time.

After hesitating for a moment, the expert surnamed Zhang, who was at the Dao Extreme Realm, slowly nodded.

“Since Brother Du has spoken, I naturally cannot refuse.”

The expert surnamed Zhang, a Dao Realm expert, said in a deep voice, "However, once Brother Du has stabilized his cultivation, I hope that Brother Du can lend me a hand and break through this Dao Luo Tian Formation."

"That's natural. My sect leader, Hengshan Sect, is also in the Great Luo Heaven. I, Du, would also like to see what the Great Luo Heaven is like."

The Grand Elder of the Yokoyama Sect said calmly.

…………

After a while.

Inside a large tent, the Grand Elder of Hengshan Sect suddenly made a move, knocking Ye Jiuding unconscious with a single strike.

Then he waved his hand, casting a spell that enveloped the entire tent to prevent anyone from spying on it.

After doing all this, he turned to look at Su Mu.

Is this person a friend or foe?

The Grand Elder of the Hengshan Sect pointed at Ye Jiuding on the ground and asked in a deep voice. (End of Chapter)
