The First Marquis of Daxuan

"Neither enemy nor friend."

Su Mu said, "At most, it was just a chance encounter."

He briefly recounted his encounter with Ye Jiuding.

The Grand Elder of the Yokoyama Sect listened with a strange expression.

It's somewhat amusing to think that a powerful figure like Su Mu could be so easily subdued by Ye Jiuding.

Since he met Su Mu, he had never seen Su Mu suffer a loss.

If Ye Jiuding knew Su Mu's true identity, he could probably brag about it for the rest of his life.

"So, you really killed the Great Celestial Venerable?"

The Grand Elder of Hengshan Sect looked at Su Mu with a smile on his lips, "To be able to kill a Great Celestial Venerable, you must have already broken through to the Dao Extreme Realm."

"That's wonderful! Our Hengshan Sect has gained another Dao Realm expert!"

The Grand Elder of Hengshan Sect could not help but be excited. Even if the sect leader had met with disaster, Hengshan Sect still had two Dao Realm experts in charge, so it was impossible for them to decline.

If the sect leader had not perished, then the Hengshan Sect would have had three Dao Extreme Realm experts.

It should be noted that even a powerful dynasty like the Great Qian Dynasty only had nine Dao Realm experts.

If Hengshan Sect had three Dao Realm experts in charge, it would definitely be the most powerful sect in the Great Qian Dynasty, second only to Yanfu Sect in the world.

"I managed to break through by chance, but I was injured when I fought the Great Celestial Venerable and I haven't recovered yet, so I can't fight against those at the Dao Extreme Realm."

Su Mu said.

"It's alright, with me here, no one can hurt you!"

"The Grand Elder of the Yokoyama Sect said confidently."

He used to admire Su Mu, but now he is filled with gratitude.

If it weren't for Su Mu, he would have been dead long ago.

It was because Su Mu gave him the Three-Life Flower that he was able to break through to the Dao Extreme Realm and extend his lifespan by a thousand years.

It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that she was given a second life.

He had wanted to protect Su Mu with his life before, and now that thought was even stronger.

Su Mu looked at the Grand Elder of Hengshan Sect and smiled.

Sure enough, he was right.

This three-life flower was not wasted.

"What's going on here in Da Luo Tian? Why has the Da Qian Dynasty summoned you here as well?"

Su Mu asked with a smile.

The Grand Elder of the Hengshan Sect is nearing the end of his lifespan, and under normal circumstances, no one would want to provoke such a powerful figure.

After all, he's about to die, and if you really push him too far, he's not afraid to fight to the death.

Previously, when the Great Qian Dynasty was conquering all directions, even the sect leader of Hengshan Sect came, but the Grand Elder of Hengshan Sect did not move.

The fact that the Great Qian Dynasty has now summoned him shows just how dire the situation is.

"Previously, the Great Qian Dynasty tore a rift in the Great Luo Heaven, and some of the Great Qian Dynasty's powerful figures took the opportunity to enter the Great Luo Heaven."

Not only that, some members of the Yanfu Sect also took the opportunity to break in.

The Grand Elder of the Yokoyama Sect said solemnly.

Su Mu already knew all of this.

Before he could ask, the Grand Elder of Hengshan Sect continued, "Not long ago, someone sent a message from the Great Luo Heaven."

Within the Great Luo Heaven lies the secret of immortality!

Su Mu's expression shifted slightly. Immortality?

Even experts at the Primordial Realm wouldn't dare claim immortality.

Su Mu had personally seen the remains of a Tai Chu Realm expert.

If it were truly possible to live forever—

He looked at the Grand Elder of the Yokoyama Sect.

“That’s right, Emperor Qian wanted immortality.”

The Grand Elder of Hengshan Sect nodded firmly and said in a deep voice, "Therefore, he is now willing to do anything to break into the Great Luo Heaven."

However, there is a Luo Tian Grand Formation outside the Great Luo Tian, ​​which is difficult to break with the strength of the Great Qian Dynasty's army alone.

That's why they summoned all the strongest warriors under their command.

Even an old fellow like the Grand Elder of the Hengshan Sect, whose lifespan is nearing its end, has been summoned, which shows how determined the Great Qian Dynasty is.

"Is there really a secret within the Great Luo Heaven that can grant immortality?"

Su Mu asked curiously.

"do not know."

The Grand Elder of Hengshan Sect shook his head. "Ever since those powerful figures entered the Great Luo Heaven, we have completely lost contact with them."

Previously, it was only after the powerful figures of the Great Qian Dynasty briefly broke the Luo Tian Formation that they received a message.

Because the time was too short, the message from the other party was also vague.

Regardless of whether it's true or not, the Great Qian Dynasty is now determined to break through the Luo Tian Formation and storm into the Great Luo Tian.

"Is this Luo Tian Grand Formation really that powerful? Even the Great Qian Dynasty couldn't break it?"

Su Mu pondered for a moment and asked.

"Very strong."

The Grand Elder of the Yokoyama Sect said with a serious expression, "We tried it once before you came."

This Luo Tian Grand Array is not only extremely strong in defense, but also has a self-repairing function.

Unless it is completely destroyed at once, it will recover on its own, no matter how much damage it suffers.

Previously, those Dao Realm experts had joined forces to tear open a rift, but once they entered the Great Luo Heaven, the rift healed itself, and the army didn't have time to cross it.

The Grand Elder of the Hengshan Sect had seen a lot in his life and had witnessed many powerful protective formations.

But there is nothing that can compare to this Luo Tian Grand Formation.

Let alone comparing them, the arrays he had seen before were not even worthy of carrying the shoes of the Luo Tian Grand Array.

"If this Luo Tian Grand Array was set up by man, then the person who set it up must have reached an incredible level of mastery of array formations."

The Grand Elder of the Hengshan Sect said in a deep voice, "If the array formations in the Great Luo Heaven are so advanced, their martial arts level must also be quite high."

"That's why so many Dao Realm experts have been here for so long, yet they still haven't been able to conquer the Great Luo Heaven."

Su Mu nodded thoughtfully.

This Great Luo Heaven is different from the smaller worlds he has seen before.

Ordinary small worlds cannot support so many powerful individuals. In a sense, this Great Luo Heaven is indeed special.

However, it's hard to say whether it contains the secret to immortality.

After all, immortality only exists in legends.

So far, Su Mu has never seen a person who can live forever.

"Immortality has driven Emperor Qian mad; it is not wise for us to confront the Great Qian Dynasty head-on now."

The Grand Elder of the Yokoyama Sect said with a serious expression.

He knew Su Mu's character very well; his unyielding nature made it impossible for him to accept the Daqian Dynasty's summons.

If Su Mu hadn't come here, that would have been fine; the Great Qian Dynasty wouldn't have had the resources to provoke Su Mu right now.

But Su Mu has arrived now.

Given the Great Qian Dynasty's style, they certainly wouldn't let Su Mu leave so easily.

Given Su Mu's style, who knows what he might do?

Both sides are extremely tough and are unlikely to back down.

However, the Grand Elder of the Yokoyama Sect did not want to see Su Mu in conflict with the Great Qian Dynasty.

Despite being a Dao Realm expert, he still had no chance of winning against the Great Qian Dynasty.

The Great Qian Dynasty was able to stand for a thousand years, which was definitely not something that a single Dao Realm expert could overthrow.

Although most of the Dao Realm experts of the Great Qian Dynasty have entered the Great Luo Heaven, the Grand Elder of Hengshan Sect is certain that the Great Qian Dynasty must have other trump cards.

Putting aside everything else, the army of the Great Qian Dynasty alone is enough to rival a Dao Realm expert.

"In my current state, who do you think I could fight?"

Su Mu shook his head and said calmly.

He did want to challenge the Great Qian Dynasty, but given his current situation, any Dao Realm expert could easily defeat him, and he didn't want to humiliate himself.

"That's good."

The Grand Elder of Hengshan Sect breathed a sigh of relief and said in a low voice, "You should heal your injuries here first. I am already at the Dao Extreme Realm, so at least we won't become cannon fodder for the Great Qian Dynasty."

After a pause, the Grand Elder of Hengshan Sect pointed to Ye Jiuding on the ground.

"What should he do?"

According to the opinion of the Grand Elder of Hengshan Sect, Ye Jiuding dared to offend Su Mu, so he should be killed.

Even if the opponent is a peak Dao Source Realm expert, in the eyes of the Hengshan Sect's Grand Elder, who has already broken through to the Dao Extreme Realm, he is just an ant.

So what if I killed him? Who dares to say anything now?
A Dao Realm expert is someone who has transcended the mundane world.

Didn't you see that even a general at the Dao Realm of the Great Qian Dynasty had to show him deference?

"He's at the peak of the Dao Source Realm, it would be a waste to kill him like this."

Su Mu pondered for a moment and said, "Keep it for now, we might need it someday."

The Grand Elder of the Yokoyama Sect nodded.

He didn't care whether Ye Jiuding lived or died.

…………

Ye Jiuding opened his eyes and unconsciously touched the back of his head.

"Why did I fall asleep?"

He looked up and saw that the Grand Elder of Hengshan Sect and Su Mu were sitting cross-legged, circulating their internal energy and regulating their breathing.

"Ye Jiuding, go and guard outside the door. Don't let anyone in without my orders," the Grand Elder of Hengshan Sect said coldly without even opening his eyes.

Ye Jiuding blurted out, "Then what about him? How could he stay in the tent?"

Ye Jiuding pointed at Su Mu and said.

Do I need to explain what I do to you?

The Grand Elder of the Yokoyama Sect opened his eyes, his gaze icy cold.

Ye Jiuding trembled and quickly lowered his head.

"Young ones don't dare."

Only then did he realize that the person in front of him was a Dao Realm expert.

He walked awkwardly out of the tent, and with one foot already out, he suddenly turned back and asked, "Senior Du, shall we go into the Great Luo Heaven?"

I've heard that the Great Luo Heaven is filled with treasures, enough to allow one to break through to the Dao Extreme Realm, or even the Primordial Beginning Realm..."

"Who did you listen to?"

The Grand Elder of the Yokoyama Sect frowned and said in a deep voice.

News of the Great Luo Heaven has always been a secret; even in the Great Qian Dynasty, only the high-ranking officials knew about it.

Although Ye Jiuding was a peak Dao Source Realm expert, he was just a rogue cultivator. How could he possibly know anything about the Great Luo Heaven?

"That's what everyone's saying outside. If I hadn't heard this news, why would I have come here?"

"If I had known it was this dangerous, I wouldn't have come."

Ye Jiuding said, "If Senior Du also goes to Da Luo Tian, ​​then it will definitely be safer for me to follow you."

"It would be even better if we could find some good stuff..."

The Grand Elder of Hengshan Sect frowned, and he gleaned something from Ye Jiuding's words.

Is someone outside deliberately spreading rumors about the Great Luo Heaven?
Saying that the Great Luo Heaven is full of treasures, isn't that just deliberately leading people to the Great Luo Heaven?
Only the Great Qian Dynasty and the Yanfu Sect knew the secret of the Great Luo Heaven.

The Great Qian Dynasty and the Yanfu Sect are vying for control of the Great Luo Heaven, and they certainly don't want more people to come to the Great Luo Heaven.

Who spread the news?
Is there a third power in this vast world?

The Grand Elder of the Yokoyama Sect glanced at Su Mu subconsciously.

If there is a third force in this vast world, it is none other than Su Mu.

Su Mu and his Great Xuan Dynasty were not subservient to the Great Qian Dynasty, nor would they submit to the Yanfu Sect; they were indeed an independent third-party force.

However, it was definitely not Su Mu who spread the news.

Could it be someone from within the Great Qian Dynasty?
The Grand Elder of the Yokoyama Sect had some doubts.

"I've only just realized that someone spread rumors to lure us here. I now think this is a trap, it's too dangerous."

Ye Jiuding said with a serious expression, "Senior Du, do you need any lackeys?"

Grand Elder of Yokoyama Sect: "..."

He looked at Ye Jiuding speechlessly.

Among the peak experts of the Dao Source Realm, there are truly a few who are this shameless.

However, he also admired Ye Jiuding's keen insight.

As expected, Ye Jiuding is no ordinary person; he is a rogue cultivator who has actually reached the peak of the Dao Source Realm.

This intuitive perception of danger far surpasses that of the average person.

Clearly, Ye Jiuding sensed the danger as soon as he arrived, which is why he volunteered to serve the Grand Elder of Hengshan Sect.

Now, he's even more outspoken about wanting to be the lackey of the Yokoyama Sect's Grand Elder.

To be so shameless as to risk everything to survive, that's a real talent.

The Grand Elder of the Hengshan Sect's opinion of Ye Jiuding rose to a new level.

"If you do your job well, I will naturally protect you."

The Grand Elder of the Yokoyama Sect said calmly, "In addition, I'm giving you a task. Keep a close eye on things, and if you find anything amiss or anyone suspicious, report it immediately."

"Order!"

Ye Jiuding walked out triumphantly.

…………

For several days in a row, Su Mu stayed in his tent to recuperate.

The Grand Elder of Hengshan Sect also generously offered Su Mu all the pills and rare treasures he had on him.

As for Ye Jiuding, he displayed his talent for being resourceful and adaptable, not only protecting the two of them but also having time to gather information from all sides.

On this day, he sneaked into the tent and approached the Grand Elder of the Hengshan Sect with a look of utter disdain.

"Senior Du, another wave of Dao Origin Realm cultivators has arrived. The Great Qian Dynasty is preparing to make its move."

Ye Jiuding whispered, "These people from the Great Qian Dynasty are really ruthless. They want to break the formation by using a blood sacrifice."

Regardless of whether the formation can be broken or not, anyone who participates in breaking it will face certain death.

"Blood sacrifice?"

The Grand Elder of the Hengshan Sect frowned. Had the Great Qian Dynasty gone this crazy?

"you sure?"

"I'm sure. To be honest, Senior Du, I have also studied some formations."

Ye Jiuding scratched his head sheepishly and said, "The arrangements made by the Great Qian Dynasty may fool others, but they can't fool me."

They used a special formation to connect all those who broke the formation, using the life essence and vitality of those who broke the formation to maintain the formation, and then using that formation to support the Luo Tian Grand Formation.

The formation will continuously drain the life essence and vitality of the person who breaks it, until the person is completely drained.

This is like a mountain falling on their heads. These people breaking through the formation have to hold up this mountain to allow the people of the Great Qian Dynasty to pass, but they themselves can only wait to be crushed to death by the mountain when their strength is exhausted, with no hope of escape whatsoever.

The Grand Elder of Hengshan Sect frowned deeply. If his cultivation hadn't broken through to the Dao Extreme Realm, he would also be one of the ones breaking the formation now.

Unexpectedly, Emperor Qian was so insane as to kill so many Dao Source Realm cultivators for the sake of a fictitious immortality.

You must know that those at the Dao Origin Realm are the backbone of the Great Qian Dynasty.

With so many Dao Origin Realm cultivators dying, the Great Qian Dynasty is facing a severe shortage of martial artists.

"Do you have any way to sabotage the Great Qian Dynasty's plans?"

Su Mu suddenly opened his eyes and looked at Ye Jiuding, asking a question.

Ye Jiuding glanced at Su Mu, his eyes clearly telling Su Mu, "Who are you? You ask me and I'll tell you."

“Answer his question.”

"The Grand Elder of the Yokoyama Sect said coldly."

"this--"

Ye Jiuding chuckled.

The Grand Elder of Hengshan Sect and Su Mu exchanged a glance. This Ye Jiuding really had the ability to disrupt the Great Qian Dynasty's plans.
This kid is a real talent.

There are already few experts who are proficient in formations, and they never expected that a random cultivator they encountered would actually be a master of formations.

"How sure are you?"

"The Grand Elder of the Yokoyama Sect said in a deep voice."

Although this matter is no longer related to him, as a Dao Extreme Realm expert, the Great Qian Dynasty would not use him as cannon fodder, the Grand Elder of Hengshan Sect is already considering breaking away from the Great Qian Dynasty. If he can sabotage the Great Qian Dynasty's affairs, that would be good.

If the Great Qian Dynasty were to actually conquer the Great Luo Heaven, and if Emperor Qian were to truly be immortal, wouldn't that be a huge problem?

The best solution is to prevent the Great Qian Dynasty from breaking through the Kailuo Heaven Formation!

"If it were me, I'd be 30% sure."

Ye Jiuding said, "If Senior Du can help me, then I can be 70% sure of success."

"You're not Ye Jiuding, so who are you?"

Su Mu suddenly spoke up.

"Of course I am Ye Jiuding. So many people know you. It's just that you are ignorant. By the way, who exactly are you?"

How come I've never heard of anyone named Su Heng before?

Ye Jiuding curled his lip and said.

"The Ye Jiuding that those people know is not the same person as you."

Su Mu said slowly.

The Grand Elder of Hengshan Sect suddenly stood up, and in a flash, he blocked the entrance of the tent, cutting off Ye Jiuding's retreat.

"I am indeed ignorant, but the Grand Elder of Hengshan Sect is not ignorant at all."

Although Ye Jiuding, whom he had heard of, was somewhat capable, he was definitely not as capable as you.

You disguised yourself as Ye Jiuding, but your real purpose was to stop the Great Qian Dynasty from destroying the Luo Tian Formation, right?

"You come from the Great Luo Heaven?"

Su Mu said calmly.

The Grand Elder of Hengshan Sect's expression turned solemn as he stared intently at Ye Jiuding, his eyes revealing a sense of vigilance.

"What are you talking about?"

Ye Jiuding's eyes darted around as he spoke coldly.

"You know what I'm talking about."

Su Mu said, "If you think you can escape from two Dao Realm experts, then you can continue to make excuses."

However, I can tell you that I have a thousand ways to get you to tell the truth.

Before he finished speaking, Su Mu slowly stood up, and a powerful aura emanated from him.

Ye Jiuding's expression changed.

Although the aura was faint, it was clearly that of someone at the pinnacle of the Dao realm.

He never expected that Su Heng would actually be a Dao Realm expert!
What incredible luck! He just randomly bumped into someone who turned out to be a Dao Realm expert!
“If you tell the truth, we may still have a chance to cooperate. Otherwise, I will regard you as an enemy. You should know the consequences.”

Su Mu said coldly that although his injuries had not fully recovered, after a few days of recuperation, he could still barely manage to control a Dao Source Realm cultivator.

Moreover, the Grand Elder of the Hengshan Sect is also here. (End of Chapter)
