Starting with being handed over to the Imperial Concubine, building a family with a thousand-year hi

If Su Feiyang manages to kill Su Mu by sheer luck, he can reap the benefits and easily seize all the treasures; if Su Feiyang is no match for him, he can clean up the mess and kill Su Mu, thus obtaining all the benefits and even saving himself a lot of trouble.

A moment later, Xi Changfeng also moved, turning into a blur, and quietly followed behind Su Feiyang, heading towards the direction of the Great Qian Imperial Palace. He concealed his aura to the extreme, like a ghost, so that no one would notice him—he wanted to observe in secret, waiting for the best opportunity to make a move, to ensure that nothing went wrong.

At this moment, the Great Qian Imperial Palace remained peaceful. Su Mu was still in seclusion in the library, consolidating his Imperial Dao Yuanling, completely unaware that a crisis targeting him was quietly approaching. Two powerful figures were rushing towards the palace, and an earth-shattering battle was about to erupt.

"Ten thousand years ago, the Tianwu Sect and the Xichuan Sword Pavilion already had a close relationship. I would be more than happy to accept Brother Su's offer of assistance."

Xi Changfeng smiled slightly and said sincerely, "Moreover, Su Mu is the patricide son of your Su family. For both reason and duty, you should personally eliminate him to uphold the family's discipline."

In his eyes, Su Feiyang's reluctance to enter the palace to assassinate Su Mu was clearly due to his lack of confidence in his own strength.

This precisely confirms two things.

Firstly, Su Mu's strength is by no means ordinary.

Secondly, Su Feiyang's strength is indeed limited.

Su Mu is quite strong, and for the sake of stability, it's naturally a good thing for Xi Changfeng to have another True Martial Realm helper.

Since Su Feiyang is not strong enough, he doesn't need to worry about being secretly plotted against by this person. On the contrary, if he can build a good relationship with him, he might be able to keep this person firmly under his control and use him for his own purposes in the future.

"Thank you for your help, Brother Xi!"

Su Feiyang quickly clasped his hands in thanks, his face beaming with undisguised joy.

"Brother Su, there's no need for such formalities."

Xi Changfeng stood up and put his bamboo hat back on his head, covering most of his face: "I will go into the palace to investigate first. It's not far from here. If you notice any big commotion in the palace, you can go directly to find me."

"It's a deal!"

Su Feiyang personally escorted Xi Changfeng to the entrance of the inn, watching his figure disappear around the street corner before turning around and quickly returning to his own room.

Meng Ling and her two sons were already waiting in the side room. When they saw him return, they immediately surrounded him.

Xi Changfeng did not take Su Qingshan's body away; it remained in the corner of the side room.

Meng Ling stared at her husband's cold corpse, her teeth clenched, her eyes filled with resentment, her voice trembling: "He's utterly heartless! Even tigers don't eat their cubs, how could he be so cruel to his own father!"

"Mother, please calm down. Su Mu's death is not far off."

Su Zhe quickly stepped forward to comfort him, his tone resolute: "With Senior Xi Changfeng's help, Su Mu will definitely have no way to escape. At that time, Father's injustice will be redressed."

Su Feiyang walked to the table and sat down, his brows furrowed, his tone tinged with regret: "Xi Changfeng is too strong. I am far from being his match. After killing Su Mu, what benefits I will get depends entirely on his attitude. I have no say in the matter."

If he had other options, he would prefer to cooperate with that young genius from the Xuan Gang Sect.

After all, the two sides are evenly matched and have already agreed to split the profits equally, so they don't have to be subservient to anyone else.

Su Feiyang had already made up his mind—he would let Xi Changfeng restrain Su Mu head-on, while he would take the opportunity to capture the golden-feathered bird.

As for the other treasures on Su Mu's body, he dared not have too much hope, and he figured Xi Changfeng wouldn't give them to him easily.

Inside the palace, in the library.

After two days of dedicated work, Su Mu finally stabilized the Imperial Dao Yuanling that he had just condensed.

He walked out of the library, put away the meteorite puppet guarding the door, and took the gold to the side hall for a fairly lavish breakfast.

After breakfast, Su Mu did not immediately return to the library. Instead, he slowly stretched his muscles in the courtyard, familiarizing himself with the increasingly refined power within his body.

In fact, at dawn, he had tried to reshape his physical body with the stabilized Imperial Primordial Spirit, but unfortunately, it ended in failure.

The reason for his failure was simple—he had already achieved a spiritual body ahead of time, and the strength of his spiritual body far exceeded that of ordinary martial artists.

Simply put, his physical constitution is far superior to his cultivation level.

The newly condensed Imperial Primordial Spirit is so powerful that even shaking its spiritual body is extremely difficult, let alone reshaping its physical form.

Upon learning of the failure, Su Mu was genuinely stunned, utterly bewildered.

But he quickly accepted this reality—there was nothing he could do about it; things had come to this point, and dwelling on it was pointless.

Let alone the newly condensed Imperial Dao Yuanling, it is likely that only after cultivating a sufficiently powerful Imperial Dao True Spirit in the future will there be an opportunity to attempt to reshape the physical body.

"It's okay, it's fine as it is."

Su Mu secretly comforted himself: "Adopting sons and daughters can also bring generous system rewards and can also quickly improve strength. It is not necessary to have biological children."

The sun was high in the sky, and the sunlight grew increasingly intense.

Xi Changfeng entered the palace alone, without any attempt to conceal himself, and headed straight for the Qianming Hall.

He was led by the guards to the Qianming Hall, where he met the current Emperor Xiao Anxun of the Great Qian Dynasty.

After briefly introducing himself, Xi Changfeng's gaze fell on Xiao Anxun, his tone tinged with a hint of probing: "I heard in the city that His Majesty has recognized Eunuch Su of the Library as his adoptive father and honored him as the Retired Emperor. It seems His Majesty intends to completely bind him to the Xiao royal family. In that case, he probably won't need the support of my Tianwu Sect anymore, right?"

"Please don't misunderstand, senior!"

Xiao Anxun quickly shook his head, his tone urgent, afraid of angering this powerful figure from ten thousand years ago: "The royal family not only needs the support of the retired emperor, but also the full support of all folk sects, including the Tianwu Sect! Now, demonic beasts are invading from both the east and west, and the situation of the Great Qian Dynasty is in imminent danger. The entire court and the people should be of one mind and one heart to overcome this difficult time!"

"Since Your Majesty understands the difficult situation and knows that all parties should work together, why did you still harm my Grandmaster of the Heavenly Martial Sect?"

Xi Changfeng's tone turned serious as he directly questioned him, his aura becoming sharper.

"Why do you say that, senior?"

Xiao Anxun feigned confusion, his face showing bewilderment: "Elder Lin Liu was murdered by Su Qingshan, the leader of the Divine Judgment Organization, in collusion with a barbarian grandmaster. How could you, senior, believe it was me who did it?"

"Your Majesty, please don't pretend to be ignorant."

Xi Changfeng raised his hand to interrupt him, his tone icy: "Before coming to the palace, I met members of the Divine Judgment Organization, including Su Qingshan's relatives. His Majesty once claimed that Su Qingshan was replaced by Lin Zhengying at the cost of his life, but the truth is, Su Qingshan died at the hands of Eunuch Su!"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Anxun frowned instantly, and his expression turned somewhat unpleasant.

He knew that the lie would eventually be exposed.

"I know Your Majesty has your own difficulties. After all, the Xiao royal family is not strong enough and has no choice but to submit to a powerful figure like Eunuch Su."
