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

The moment their eyes met, an invisible pressure of death suddenly enveloped Harry Luke.

Harry Luke's heart clenched, his hair stood on end, and an extreme panic from the depths of his soul instantly swept over him.

This was not a visible killing intent or oppressive aura, but rather a cultivator's unseen perception of fate, an instinctive warning of impending death.

A death crisis that had not occurred for hundreds of thousands of years had befallen him, a late-stage Saint Realm expert, and the source of the warning was merely a junior in the mid-stage God King Realm!

"How is that possible!"

Harry Luke frowned, his heart filled with shock and disbelief.

Throughout his life, he had fought countless battles, and his perception of his own impending danger had never been wrong. The current bizarre situation could only be explained by one thing—Su Mu's true strength far surpassed his apparent mid-stage God-King realm, remaining unfathomable and extremely well-hidden.

"No wonder he was able to escape unscathed from the secret realm; it was definitely not just luck!"

"The opportunities within the secret realm will surely fall entirely into his hands!"

Haliluk quickly relayed his assessment to Zalzan and the other man via telepathy.

Upon hearing this, Zhalzan's eyes instantly gleamed with extreme greed, and he boldly speculated, "Is it possible that Su Mu isn't just an ordinary pawn being cultivated, but rather the reincarnation of a top-tier expert from the Great Sun Alliance?"

This guess is bold and outlandish, yet it perfectly fits all the doubts and is highly probable.

Logically, if they were to encounter a reincarnated enemy of the Great Sun Alliance, they should feel fear and avoid it at all costs. But at this moment, all that remained in the hearts of the three was endless fanaticism and greed.

If this identity can be confirmed and the news reported to the eight holy clans, this achievement will be enough to make them rise to the top and benefit them for generations to come!

In the Imperial Garden below, Su Mu and Mu Mu took in the greed and fanaticism in the eyes of the three people.

Mu Bo chuckled lightly and said calmly, "Master, they already regard you as an unparalleled treasure that is within their grasp."

Su Mu's expression was icy, devoid of any smile. Although he didn't know the reason why the three had suddenly become so greedy, he knew clearly that they had already developed a murderous intent and covetousness towards him.

With a slight thought, Su Mu made his decision: "In that case, please invite these three distinguished guests to have a good time as guests on my Tianyuan Star."

As soon as he finished speaking, Su Mu put down his fishing rod, stood up, and turned around. Mu Bo followed, and four peak Saint Realm puppets silently trailed behind. The group walked slowly toward the side hall of the Imperial City's reception area with a composed demeanor.

At the same time, Su Mu sent a message to his servants, who led Qiao Lang and the other three people in the sky into a side hall to wait.

Inside the side hall, the four took their seats in turn. Harry Luke quickly sent a secret telepathic message, instructing them: "Be humble and avoid impulsive actions. As long as you can get out of here safely and report this matter to the clan, it will be a great achievement. It won't hurt to back down for now."

Zhalzan and his companion nodded slightly, silently agreeing. Both were ancient monsters who had lived for millions of years, and were well-versed in the art of assessing situations, enduring hardships, and making wise choices.

A moment later, Su Mu calmly took his seat in the main seat, his gaze sweeping lightly over the crowd below before finally settling on Qiao Lang.

There was no reprimand, no questioning, just a cold, deep gaze that sent a shiver down Qiao Lang's spine and made his body tense. He knew perfectly well that Su Mu was waiting for his explanation.

Qiao Lang glanced furtively at the three powerful figures beside him. Seeing that none of them intended to speak, he could only bite the bullet and step forward, forcing a smile as he said, "Fellow Daoist Su Mu, we have come here with no ill intentions. It is only because all parties have suffered heavy losses in the matter of the secret realm that we have doubts and have come to verify the details. We hope that you will cooperate with us."

As soon as he finished speaking, Su Mu suddenly chuckled, his tone calm yet brimming with dominance and candor: "No need for such trouble. I killed everyone in the secret realm. What methods or purposes did you use? Tell me."

Frank and straightforward, without any disguise, even with a hint of blatant provocation.

Harry, Luke, and the others' pupils shrank instantly, their faces filled with astonishment, almost thinking they had misheard.

They had anticipated countless excuses and countless openings, but they never imagined that Su Mu would be so decisive and frank in admitting to all the killings without making any attempt to conceal them.

Seeing the undisguised provocation and coldness in Su Mu's eyes, the four of them understood completely—the other party was already planning to turn against them completely!

Upon hearing this, Zhalzan and the other two rolled their eyes at Qiao Lang, their eyes filled with helplessness and reproach.

At this moment, everyone's biggest wish was to stabilize the situation and quietly slip away. However, Qiao Lang, being tongue-tied, brought up the old story of the secret realm, giving Su Mu a pretext to make trouble for no reason. He was just looking for trouble.

Qiao Lang felt extremely wronged and secretly groaned in despair.

The three of you remained completely silent the entire time, the room was deathly still, and I was the only one who spoke up, yet I was the one who made the mistake in the end? Let whoever wants to do this job do it!

Despite feeling incredibly frustrated, Qiao Lang could only suppress it and dared not reveal a single bit of it.

After a moment of silence in the main hall, Zhalzan's mind raced. He forced a smile and took the initiative to smooth things over: "Fellow Daoist Su Mu is joking. The matter of the secret realm was just a misunderstanding. We came here with no other intention than to pay a visit since we happened to be passing through Tianyuan Star."

He deliberately lowered his stance and took the initiative to show weakness, hoping to give both sides a way out and take the opportunity to test Su Mu's true attitude and bottom line.

The more Zazan yielded and tried to please him, the more certain Su Mu became that the other party lacked confidence and was wary, and he absolutely could not let the matter end on the other party's pretext.

"Yeah?"

Su Mu sat upright in the main seat, his gaze sweeping over the four people below with a calm yet extremely oppressive tone, each word piercing: "My Tianyuan Star is located on the edge of the universe, in a remote and desolate place. I wonder what important matter could possibly trouble three late-stage Saint Realm experts to make a special trip through this place?"

He pressed on relentlessly, leaving no room for evasion or prevarication.

The four men, including Harry Luke, were filled with rage and extreme frustration. However, having witnessed firsthand the terrifying trump cards beside Su Mu, they could only suppress their anger and dare not speak out.

Just as the group was racking their brains for excuses and trying to bluff their way out, Su Mu suddenly changed the subject, getting straight to the point: "The four of you have traveled thousands of miles to visit my Tianyuan Star. I wonder if you came with good intentions or with hidden hostility?"

Upon hearing this, Harry Luke responded almost instinctively, quickly adopting a friendly demeanor: "Fellow Daoist Su Mu, you flatter us. We naturally have good intentions and have come here specifically to make friends. We have absolutely no malicious intent whatsoever."

The group secretly breathed a sigh of relief, taking this as a way out offered by Su Mu, which would finally ease the stalemate.

Little did they know, this statement had fallen right into Su Mu's trap.

"Since you have come with good intentions, then you are a friend of Tianyuan Star."

Su Mu smiled slightly, his tone calm and assertive, brooking no refusal: "My Tianyuan Star has always been hospitable. Fellow Daoists, why don't you stay in the Imperial City for a few days and let me properly show you the hospitality of a host?"

Upon hearing this, Harry, Luke, and the other two showed a flash of joy in their eyes and were about to nod in agreement.
