The First Marquis of Daxuan

Chapter 258: Conferring a Noble Title (Please subscribe, collect, and vote for the monthly ticket)
A painful wail was heard from the fiery red tripod.

On the mountain path, a man came walking towards them with a knife in hand.

A scorching breath filled the air, and Wu Yiqi and Li Chuan felt as if their hair and eyebrows were about to be singed.

Everyone froze in place, staring in disbelief at the giant three-legged cauldron that was emitting a scorching breath.

A few people have already realized that this giant three-legged tripod that looks like a real thing is the symbol of the strange phenomenon.

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

The three-legged cauldron only existed for three breaths of time.

Then it disappeared out of thin air, revealing Taishi Tianbi who was trapped inside.

Taishi Tianbi's description became extremely miserable. There was almost no intact skin and flesh on his body, and even his bones were vaguely visible. He looked like he had been roasted.

The moment the giant tripod disappeared, he soared into the sky and was about to escape from this place.

At this moment, a beam of white light shot out.

With a ding sound, Taishi Tianbi was nailed to the huge rock on the top of the mountain.

"Su——"

Wu Yiqi swallowed.

Taishi Tianbi, who beat them till they had no power to fight back, was solved just like that?
Can anyone tell me if I have seen it wrong?

Su Mu has actually realized the vision?
Wu Yiqi's heart was filled with turmoil.

He knew that Su Mu was a genius, but he really didn't expect that Su Mu could even comprehend the vision.

Is that human being?
"Inspector Wu, was I dazzled just now?"

Prince Gong Li Chuan also climbed up from the ground, propped himself up, and whispered, "Is that a vision?"

"You are not seeing things."

Wu Yiqi said somewhat weakly.

"Is this still a human? Can one comprehend visions at the True Essence stage?

Compared to him, those guys in the capital who claim to be geniuses are nothing."

Prince Gong Li Chuan muttered.

Wu Yiqi said he couldn't agree more.

He thought that he had awakened his physical powers and the gap between him and Su Mu would be narrowed, but he found that Su Mu had become a weaponsmith.

After he accepted the setting that Su Mu was a weaponsmith, he now told him that Su Mu had comprehended the vision!
While practicing martial arts, he also studied weapon-making techniques and achieved accomplishments that are beyond the reach of ordinary people. Is this something that ordinary people can do?

While they were shocked, they saw Su Mu had already walked in front of Taishi Tianbi.

Taishi Tianbi was nailed to a huge rock by the Jinglei Knife, but he was still alive.

He stared at Su Mu with such ferocity in his eyes that he wished he could cut Su Mu into pieces.

"This is impossible! It's impossible to comprehend the vision! How can a True Yuan Realm warrior comprehend the vision? Even I can't do it!"

Taishi Tianbi roared with a ferocious look on his face.

"You can't do it because you are too useless."

Su Mu came up to him and said lightly.

Wu Yiqi: “…”

Li Chuan: “…”

The two looked at each other, then looked away at the same time. We are both useless...

"I'm useless? Do you know who I am? How dare you talk to me like that?"

Taishi Tianbi roared fiercely, "Do you know that if it were back then, I could crush someone like you to death with just one finger!"

"Now, it's not like back then."

Su Mu said.

Taishi Tianbi wanted to say something else when a bright sword light appeared in his pupils.

There was a soft pop.

A flash of sword light penetrated between Taishi Tianbi's eyebrows.

Tai Shi Tianbi's eyes suddenly widened, full of disbelief.

He couldn't imagine that Su Mu actually tried to kill him.

Isn’t Su Mu curious about his identity at all?

Doesn’t Su Mu want to know his secrets at all?
Those people in the martial arts world are desperately looking for Tai Shi Tianbi, just because of the secret he possesses.

Isn't Su Mu tempted at all?
He didn't even ask and just killed him?
Why……

There was only one last thought left in Taishi Tianbi's mind, and then his consciousness fell into endless darkness.

He can only possess another person's body once. He has not yet recovered to his peak. If he dies, he will really die. There will be no chance again.

Taishi Tianbi's head slowly drooped, with endless regret on his face.

If he were given another chance, he would never come to Songjiang Prefecture.

I will never provoke Su Mu.

Unfortunately, there is only one chance...

Everyone present looked at each other.

Taishi Tianbi, dead?
Taishi Tianbi, who was ranked first on the wanted criminal list, just died like that?

"Su——"

Wu Yiqi couldn't help but ask, "Since we have captured him alive, why don't we ask about his true identity and origin?
If he is really a powerful person, then his value..."

"unimportant."

Su Mu said calmly, "As long as he is Taishi Tianbi, he is the number one murderer on the wanted list. He should be executed for his crime."

Su Mu glanced at Prince Gong Li Chuan meaningfully.

In fact, he was curious about the identity of Taishi Tianbi, but the fact that Taishi Tianbi came to assassinate Prince Gong Li Chuan clearly showed that he had a grudge against the royal family of Daxuan.

What can be confirmed now is that Taishi Tianbi must be the reincarnation of a powerful person.

And he had a huge feud with the Daxuan royal family.

Su Mu doesn't want to get involved in this muddy water.

Sometimes, knowing too much is not a good thing, especially when it comes to royal secrets.

Su Mu didn't want to cause trouble for himself, so killing Taishi Tianbi directly was the best option.

"Your Highness Prince Gong, please forgive me for being late in coming to your rescue."

Su Mu bowed to Prince Gong Li Chuan.

"You are too polite, Su Zhenfu. You saved me, and I am grateful to you."

Prince Gong Li Chuan said quickly.

He began to wonder in his heart, suspecting that Su Mu had arrived late on purpose.

Otherwise, Yang Bowen would not have died at the hands of Taishi Tianbi.

But he had no evidence, and there was no point in delving into this matter.

After all, Taishi Tianbi really came to assassinate him, and Su Zhenfushi really saved his life.

Although Yang Bowen died at the hands of Taishi Tianbi, he still had a reputation for bravery, which was not a loss.

Prince Gong Li Chuan rationally drove this suspicious thought out of his mind.

At this time, some people had hurried up from the mountain and began to treat the injured on the field.

…………

In a beautifully decorated room in Songjiang Mansion.

The teacup in Chen Yougong's hand fell to the ground, his face full of disbelief.

"Vision? How can it be a vision?

He is only at the True Yuan Realm, how could he comprehend the vision?"

Even after several failures before, Chen Yougong was not shocked to this extent.

He knew that Su Mu was very strong, so he had been taking steady steps and constantly testing Su Mu using various means.

But now, he suddenly felt powerless.

He was very clear about the power of the vision, which was simply not something an ordinary person could deal with.

Su Mu even understood the vision, can he really complete the task of killing Su Mu?
This task is so difficult.

"No, you have to give me more chips. The position of a Blue Lotus Envoy is not worth killing a strong man who has comprehended the vision. I want the position of the Left Protector. If you don't give it to me, I will quit!"

Chen Yougong muttered to himself with a grim look on his face.

…………

Almost at the same time.

Orders were issued one after another in the mansions of various families in Songjiang Prefecture.

The major families urgently withdrew their orders against Su Mu.

What else is it targeting?
What does it mean to comprehend a vision?
Even if Su Mu didn't have the Taiping Division behind him, there wouldn't be many people in the world who could kill him.

What's more, the Xiangzhou commander Li Tingkui is a vivid example of how the Taiping Division values ​​a warrior who has comprehended the vision!
The Taiping Division is almost training Li Tingkui as the next marquis.

In order to temper his character, he was placed in Xiangzhou as a commander.

He ignored his duties and traveled all over the world. Does this mean that the Taiping Division has ever punished him in the slightest?

At the beginning, he directly attacked the ancestral home of the Wen family, which made the old man of the Wen family so angry that he vomited blood. Didn’t the Wen family, who were known as the half-Jiangzuo family, just swallow their anger in the end?

As for what Su Mu did to the various families in Songjiang Prefecture, if it were in the past, the various families in Songjiang Prefecture would have been somewhat dissatisfied, so they instigated the big shots behind them to target Su Mu.

That's why Yang Bowen, the former vice minister of the Ministry of Revenue, took such action.

But now it's different
Su Mu actually comprehended the vision!
To put it simply, he is the next commander of Xiangzhou!

To put it in a broader sense, he is the second Li Tingkui!
Not to mention just bullying the major families, even if it is a little bit too much, these families can only endure it!

Want to cause trouble for Su Mu? Really don't take the power of the vision seriously?

Or do you think that the marquises of the Taiping Division dare not kill anyone?
…………

"Vision?"

The news was delivered to the Taiping Division's headquarters at incredible speed.

The moment they received the news, the marquises of the Taiping Division were stunned.

"Are you sure it's a vision? Didn't Li Tingkui say that Su Mu's state of mind had just reached perfection not long ago?"

A middle-aged man full of literary temperament said in surprise.

"The first time we got news about Su Mu, he wasn't even a Taiping lieutenant yet. How many years has it been?"

Another middle-aged man with a red face said, "Without any guidance or resources, he was able to cultivate several artistic conceptions to perfection in just a few years. I am not surprised at all that he is talented and can comprehend visions."

He said he was not surprised at all, but there were five clear fingerprints on the armrest of the chair. It was obvious that he was not as calm as he looked.

"Tell me, what should we do with this kid now?"

Another marquis said.

The only four remaining marquises of the Taiping Division gathered together to discuss Su Mu's affairs.

"I think we should just let it go. We didn't intervene before, and Su Mu has grown to where he is now.

If we intervene rashly, it might affect his growth.”

Sui Hou, who had a scholarly temperament, spoke slowly.

The middle-aged man with a red face was Marquis Mingyi, and he raised objections.

"I have decided. I will take him as my apprentice."

Marquis Mingyi said, "His visions are derived from the Xunfeng artistic conception and the Lihuo artistic conception, while my visions are derived from the Lihuo artistic conception and the Kundi artistic conception. I should be qualified to be his master."

"According to what you said, my vision is also derived from the Lihuo Realm and Kundi Realm, so I can also be his master."

The Duke of Jin said.

Lin Hou and Sui Hou looked at each other, and their Lihuo artistic conception was a little lacking.

"Just stop arguing."

The two of them said, "Su Mu may not be willing to take you as his master."

"How about this, give the Qiankuntu in the department to Su Mu for his enlightenment. We have all comprehended the Kundi artistic conception, maybe Su Mu can comprehend the Qiantian artistic conception?"

Lin Hou said in a deep voice.

"He killed Taishi Tianbi. This achievement is enough to gain the opportunity to comprehend the Qiankuntu."

The other three marquises pondered for a moment and nodded.

…………

The words are divided into two parts.

After Su Mu killed Tai Shi Tianbi that day, Prince Gong Li Chuan bandaged his wound and went straight to Su Mu without even taking a rest.

"Su Zhenfushi, you have made great contributions in supervising the construction of the Bailu Academy in Songjiang Prefecture. His Majesty has ordered a generous reward."

Prince Gong Li Chuan said.

Su Mu showed surprise on his face and said with a smile, "What will your majesty reward me with? Will you give me a promotion?"

Prince Gong Li Chuan discovered that Su Mu was actually quite easy to get along with when he was not killing people.

He also smiled and said, "Su Zhenfushi, you are already the youngest Zhenfushi of the Taiping Division in history. If you are promoted again, you will have to be a commander.

What I said really doesn’t count.”

"Ok."

Su Mu said with some regret.

Li Chuan felt something was strange. How could such a powerful Taiping Division Pacification Commissioner be so obsessed with promotion?

Aren't they the strong ones who care least about their official positions?

Many powerful warriors are unwilling to even serve the court.

"Envoy Su, aren't you curious about what the huge reward I'm talking about is?"

Li Chuan felt that Su Mu had lost interest and couldn't help but ask curiously.

"It's just some gold and silver jewelry."

Su Mu said uninterestedly, "Prince Gong, do you think I'm short of money?"

Prince Gong: “…”

Li Chuan felt like he had suffered a heavy blow. Is there anyone in this world who doesn't lack money?

His father was the Emperor Daxuan, and he was always worried about money.

He is a prince after all, so doesn't he have to find ways to make money?
What you said is too stimulating.

But Li Chuan thought about it and realized that Su Mu really had no shortage of money.

He is a top-notch weaponsmith!
Ordinary weaponsmiths may still worry about silver, but top weaponsmiths don’t have to worry at all.

As long as he wanted, there would be people rushing to give him money.

"Actually,"

Li Chuan said, "The national treasury is a little empty now. Your Majesty feels that rewarding Su Zhenfu Envoy with several thousand taels of silver is useless, so this reward is not gold or silver treasures."

"Prince Gong, you should just speak frankly. Everyone is very busy."

Su Mu said bluntly.

"It's a title."

Li Chuan said somewhat helplessly.

"A title of nobility? That's not good. I'm not even a commander. It's not appropriate to confer a title of nobility directly, right?"

Su Mu said with some surprise.

Being granted a title of nobility is the dream of every person in the Tianping Division. Could it be possible that it is realized just like that?

It’s just that his current strength is a little weak, but it won’t lower the value of the Marquis Taiping.

Several black lines appeared on Li Chuan's forehead.

Marquis?

Su Zhenfushi, you are really bold in your thinking.

"It's not a title."

Li Chuan quickly said, "It's the Viscount.

There is still some gap between this and being a marquis.”

There is more than just a gap, there is a world of difference.

"But Su Zhenfushi, your title of Viscount is actually granted to you, with a fief of 500 households!"

Li Chuan said with envy on his face.
