"Do not--"

Liu Huayuan was so anxious that he couldn't help but spit out blood.

He watched as Su Mu's figure and the Pure Land Sect's Qinglian got closer and closer.

As the battle was underway, the long sword in Qinglian's hand burst into a flash of sword light, and was about to pierce several holes in Su Mu's body.

Liu Huayuan's face was full of despair.

They searched for so many days.

Finally found Su Mu.

But he had to see with his own eyes Su Mu die at the hands of the Pure Land Sect's evil leader.

Why is God so cruel!

"Why are you saving us? Just go away."

Liu Huayuan's face was distorted.

The Blue Lotus Envoy of the Pure Land Sect had a cruel smile on his face.

What he likes most is the genius of killing Taiping Division!

Isn’t your Taiping Division awesome?

How is it now?

I just want to kill your genius, what can you do to me?
He seemed to have seen the scene of Su Mu being pierced by his sword.

His sword was less than a foot away from Su Mu.

As expected, this young man, whose hair hasn't even grown out yet, was so frightened that he even forgot to resist.

The Qinglian Envoy grinned.

Suddenly, he saw the mocking look in Su Mu's eyes, and he became furious.

You are about to die, and you still dare to mock me?
"go to hell!"

The Qinglian Envoy shouted.

The sound just came out of his mouth, but it instantly turned into a scream of pain.

Suddenly, a long, thin tongue pierced out from his heart.

Swish!
The Green Lotus Envoy's body was instantly thrown out by the tongue, falling heavily to the ground, splashing up a cloud of dust.

All the Pure Land Buddhists were dumbfounded.

They had already prepared to cheer, but in the blink of an eye, the Green Lotus Envoy dropped from the sky?
They stared blankly at the puddle of mud on the ground.

Is that their Qing Lian Envoy?

what happened?
The Pure Land Sect members looked at each other in bewilderment.

puff!
A tongue like a long whip suddenly stretched out straight, instantly stringing together the Pure Land Sect believers into a candied haws.

When the tongue was retracted, all the Pure Land Sect followers had a large transparent hole on their chest that went from front to back.

Their eyes bulged and there were hoarse sounds in their throats, but they couldn't utter a single word. Then they fell to the ground with a bang, twitched a few times, and then became completely motionless.

At this time, Su Mu fell to the ground.

boom!
He bent his knees slightly to relieve himself of the force of jumping from a high place.

With a flick of his finger, a fist-sized ball of blood flew out.

Ao Qing opened his mouth and swallowed the blood in one gulp, with an intoxicated and satisfied expression on his face.

Liu Huayuan grinned, and it was hard to tell whether he was crying or laughing.

He recognized that the monster that came out from the ground was the same monster that sent Zhu Jiuyuan and the others back to Huju Pass.

According to the commander, this monster is at least a fifth-level monster.

After Ao Qing broke through to the sixth level, his appearance was completely different from before. Even Yang Changfeng, the commander of Huju Pass, could not recognize that it was the ugly reptile it once was.

"A fifth-level monster... No wonder killing the Five Lotus Envoys of the Pure Land Sect is as easy as slaughtering chickens and dogs."

Liu Huayuan muttered to himself.

The Pure Land Sect has five Lotus Envoys: Blue, Black, Yellow, Red, and White. All of them are Jindan-stage warriors, and their strength is comparable to that of the commander of the Taiping Division.

The one who just attacked them was definitely one of the Five Lotus Envoys of the Pure Land Sect.

"Liu Zhenfushi, why are you here? And you are fighting with the people of the Pure Land Sect?"

Su Mu came up to Liu Huayuan and asked in confusion.

Liu Huayuan opened his mouth, but found that he didn't know what to say.

They said they came out to rescue Su Mu?

Isn't it obvious who is saving whom?

"we are--"

Liu Huayuan forced a smile and told the story again.

"Is everyone okay?"

Su Mu smiled and said, "I did encounter an accident and wasted some time. I am sorry to have made you worried."

He didn't expect that Hujuguan had done so much to find him.

Although it's all useless, it feels good to be cared for by others.

After all, no one wants to find their own people turning a blind eye when they are in danger.

The Taiping Division did not abandon him, but has been looking for him.

This feeling filled Su Mu's heart with warmth.

"Liu Zhenfushi, you are seriously injured. I will take you back to Huju Pass first."

Su Mu said.

"Take these beasts back with you."

Liu Huayuan pointed at the followers of the Pure Land Sect and the almost invisible Green Lotus Envoy, "You killed the Five Lotus Envoys of the Pure Land Sect, so you can't escape a special achievement..."

Su Mu looked calm. Merit was naturally a good thing, but what made him happier was killing those evil leaders of the Pure Land Sect.

These demons are not only brutal and bloodthirsty, but also incite demonic waves many times for their own selfish desires. They should all be killed.

Moreover, when it comes to special achievements, people may be excited the first time, but they will become accustomed to it the second and third time.

There are already three cloud patterns on Su Mu's lapels. If one more is added this time, it will be four in total. It is truly unprecedented and may not be surpassed in the future.

"Garuda!"

Su Mu clapped his hands.

The goshawk monster suddenly flapped its wings and landed, looking with some fear at Ao Qing who had shrunk and was lying on Su Mu's shoulder.

It thought to itself, luckily I was smart. Even the sixth-level monster was subdued by this human. If I had been stubborn as a small fourth-level monster, the grass on my grave would probably be a foot high now.

The sixth-level monsters all made the same choice as me, so I was right.

It lowered its head obediently.

Liu Huayuan was dumbfounded.

In addition to the dragon monster, Captain Su has also got a goshawk monster pet?

This is going against the will of heaven.

One can hide underground, the other can fly...

He climbed onto Garuda's back with some trepidation.

Then he watched Su Mu move the injured Taiping captains and the bodies of the Pure Land Sect believers onto the back of the goshawk monster.

"Garuda, go!"

call!
Garuda soared into the sky.

Although Liu Huayuan and others were seriously injured, they all showed excitement on their faces at this moment.

Feeling the strong wind blowing in their faces, they couldn't help but look around.

Flying is a skill that only those who are above the Nascent Soul stage can possess. Most of them may not be able to reach that level in their lifetime.

Flying in the air is so difficult!

"I never thought that I, Old Li, would be able to fly one day."

An already quite old Taiping Captain could not help but sigh.

"If one survives, there will be future fortunes."

Liu Huayuan grinned and said, "If we try hard after we go back, we may not fail to reach the Nascent Soul stage. By then, our bodies will be in the air and we will be free."

Everyone just listened.

It has been a long time since a strong person above the Nascent Soul stage appeared in the Taiping Division.

Let alone the Nascent Soul stage, even the Core Formation stage is far beyond their reach.

…………

Tiger's Pass.

There were swords and guns everywhere on the city walls.

The soldiers of the border guards walked back and forth on the top of the city wall, observing the situation outside the pass from time to time.

Suddenly, a soldier shouted, "A monster is coming!"

In the distance, a gigantic goshawk monster appeared within their field of vision.

Oh oh oh!
The horn sounded.

The soldiers on the city wall suddenly became nervous.

The crossbow carts guarding the city have changed direction and are aiming at the monster flying in the air.

Feathered monsters are undoubtedly the most difficult type of monster to deal with.

They can fly, and city walls offer little protection against them.

Ordinary attacks are difficult to hit them, and only strong bows and crossbows can be of some use.

But looking at the size of this goshawk monster, it is most likely a fourth-level monster.

The Demon-Destroying Crossbow at Huju Pass may not be able to pose a threat to it.

Amid the sound of breaking wind, Yang Changfeng, the commander of the Taiping Division in Hujuguan, appeared on the top of the city wall.

He looked solemnly at the approaching goshawk monster.

"Fortunately, there is only one."

Yang Changfeng thought to himself, if there was only one, it would not be a large-scale invasion by the Demon Court.

But think about it, Daxuan has just completed peace talks with Yaoting, it is impossible for Yaoting to send troops at this time.

In that case, this should be a wild demon that is not under the control of the Demon Court.

Monsters like this would often attack Huju Pass.

Generally speaking, they are foraging for food.

Most of the time, Hu Ju Pass was able to repel them. Occasionally, when these feathered monsters broke into Hu Ju Pass, they would cause some casualties.

Overall, it's not a big problem.

"put--"

Yang Changfeng shouted.

Suddenly, he swallowed the word "crossbow".

"Don't do anything yet!"

Yang Changfeng shouted.

The soldiers on the city wall all had puzzled looks on their faces.

If we don't take action now, the goshawk monster will get closer to the top of the city.

Given the opponent's speed, they won't have time to attack.

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

The monster hawk has already flown to the top of the city wall.

The strong wind created by its wings made the faces of the soldiers on the city walls flutter, and those with slightly weaker skills began to stagger.

"Commander—"

They looked at Yang Changfeng in panic.

Snapped!
Snapped!
Snapped!
At this moment, corpses fell from the sky one after another and hit the top of the city wall like dumplings.

Then, a voice came.

"Everyone make way, we are about to land."

Along with the sound, the goshawk monster folded its wings and actually landed on the top of the city wall.

The city wall of Huju Pass was moving quickly, but the goshawk monster was so huge that it occupied a large area and pushed the soldiers guarding the city aside.

"Su Mu!"

Yang Changfeng said in a deep voice, he was right just now!

"Commander Yang, long time no see, I hope you are well."

Su Mu jumped down from the back of the goshawk monster and bowed to Yang Changfeng.

"Liu Zhenfu has caused them to suffer serious injuries. Save them first and we can deal with other matters later."

Su Mu pointed at the people on Garuda's back and said.

Only then did Yang Changfeng see Liu Huayuan and others. He felt solemn and quickly called for people to carry Liu Huayuan and others down.

After sending Liu Huayuan and others for treatment, Yang Changfeng returned to Su Mu.

At this moment, Xu Chongyuan, Shi Ziran and others had also rushed over after hearing the news, and were excitedly surrounding Su Mu and asking him questions.

The monster goshawk stood nearby, pecking at its own feathers.

Yang Changfeng looked at Garuda and felt a great threat from him.

"Captain Su, this is——"

Yang Changfeng couldn't help but ask.

It’s no wonder that he has never seen the world; it’s really amazing.

There are indeed people in the Taiping Division who can tame monsters, but they are generally first- and second-level monsters, and one has to start from the monster's infancy. Only after they grow up will they obey people's orders.

But the goshawk monster in front of him must be at least level four.

A fourth-level monster, its strength is comparable to his.

He simply couldn't understand how Su Mu did it.

"It's called Garuda."

Su Mu smiled faintly and said, "From now on, it will be one of ours. Commander Yang, don't worry, I have told it that it will not hurt anyone at will."

I'm not worried, I just want to know how you do it.

Yang Changfeng muttered to himself, with a look of envy on his face.

He also wanted to tame a monster like this.

"So, Junior Brother Su, the reason you stayed outside the pass for so long was because of Garuda?"

Xu Chongyuan asked.

"That's it."

Su Mu said, "We could have come back earlier. On the way back, we encountered people from the Pure Land Sect besieging Liu Zhenfu's envoys. It took some time to eliminate the evil leader of the Pure Land Sect."

"Damn Pure Land Buddhism!"

Xu Chongyuan cursed, saying that it was the Pure Land Sect's fault that Su Mu was forced to leave.

"I checked, the man you killed should be the Qinglian Envoy of the Pure Land Sect."

Yang Changfeng looked around and saw that there were no outsiders around, so he spoke in a deep voice.

"Blue Lotus Envoy?"

Xu Chongyuan, Shi Ziran and others all showed shock on their faces.

The Qinglian Envoy of the Pure Land Sect is a powerful person in the Jindan realm.

Can Su Mu kill a Jindan realm cultivator now?
No, it shouldn’t be Su Mu who did it himself, but Ao Qing.

However, there is no difference between Ao Qing killing and Su Mu doing it himself, after all, Ao Qing listens to Su Mu.

"Yes."

Yang Changfeng said, "I have already given instructions. This matter will not be spread outside. I will claim to the public that I killed the Green Lotus Envoy."

"With the death of Sha Tongtian, the Pure Land Sect has set its sights on you. If they knew that you killed the Green Lotus Envoy, they would definitely send stronger men to assassinate you."

Yang Changfeng continued, "Although the department will increase its efforts to suppress the Pure Land Sect after this, these demons are like rats, and it is difficult to completely eliminate them.

For your safety, it is better to keep this matter low-key.

But the credit will not go to you."

"In that case, thank you very much, Commander Yang."

Su Mu bowed.

"You haven't come back yet, and Zhu Jiuyuan and the others have already returned to the capital to report."

Yang Changfeng waved his hand and continued, "There's no need for you to chase after them anymore.

Zhu Jiuyuan is a decent person and he won’t take away your contribution.

There's nothing good about the capital, and it's a waste of time running back and forth.

I suggest that you stay at Huju Pass or return to Wuling to rest for a while and wait for the imperial court to reward you. Then you may have to move to another place."

"What do you mean?"

Su Mu asked doubtfully.

"You don't think that the court really doesn't know how to reward or punish, do you?"

Yang Changfeng said, "You have made great contributions to the return of the Great Xuan Mission. With your previous contributions, you may become the youngest pacification envoy of the Taiping Division.

Once you become a pacification commissioner, you will be in charge of a place. Which specific place you will be assigned to guard depends on the considerations of the marquis and the court.

But I don’t think they will let you stay in Wuling.”
