The rocks shook slightly, and were instantly turned into mud and sand by a force, and then flowed to both sides.

The mud and sand continued to surge, and Su Mu finally crawled out from under the rubble.

He first looked around vigilantly, and found that Wu Yuanhua had indeed left, then he breathed a sigh of relief.

Because he was worried that Wu Yuanhua was still there, he stayed under the rubble for more than an hour. Then he used the Kun Di state of mind to remove the rubble and sand that was pressing on his body and drilled down from underneath.

"The fusion realm is too terrifying. A single strike from him almost cost me my life."

Looking at the half-collapsed cliff, Su Mu felt a little scared.

If his physique had been a little weaker, he would have been smashed to pieces.

But then again, if his physique was not strong enough, Wu Yuanhua would not have to destroy the cliff to deal with him, the Blood-Transforming Gourd would have directly sucked him away.

"Blood-Transforming Gourd..."

Su Mu raised his hand, in which he was holding a vermilion gourd.

This blood-transforming gourd was the one that he had knocked away from Wu Yuanhua's hand.

It fell at the bottom of the cliff. Su Mu caught a glimpse of it as he fell and grabbed it in his hand at the last moment.

"The Blood-Transforming Gourd is buried here. Logically, Wu Yuanhua wouldn't just throw it away..."

Su Mu said to himself, he didn't know the origin of the Blood-Transforming Gourd, but something that a strong man in the Fusion Realm valued must be extraordinary.

But Wu Yuanhua left without taking the Blood-Transforming Gourd, which can only mean one thing.

"Wu Yuanhua's injuries are probably more serious than I thought. He may not even have the strength to dig through the rubble.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have left the Blood-Transforming Gourd behind, and he wouldn't have made sure whether I was dead or not."

Su Mu said to himself.

Come to think of it, if Lin Hou Bai Wuya had not been sure that Wu Yuanhua did not have the power to take action, how could he have given the task of escorting Prince Su to Su Mu?
Lin Hou Bai Wuya injured Wu Yuanhua himself. He knew how serious Wu Yuanhua's injuries were, so he left with peace of mind.

"He probably thought that no one could dig out the Blood-Transforming Gourd buried under the rock weighing hundreds of thousands of pounds, so he planned to come back and get it later."

Su Mu thought to himself, "He probably didn't expect that I didn't die, and the Blood-Transforming Gourd fell into my hands."

Su Mu took the blood-transforming gourd, looked at it several times, pulled out the gourd and put it down and poured it out.

Nothing came out.

The gourd seemed empty.

Then he pointed the mouth of the gourd at a stone, trying to put the stone into it, but unfortunately it had no effect.

He tried to input his true energy into the Blood-Transforming Gourd, but it was like a drop in the ocean and the Blood-Transforming Gourd still didn't react at all.

After trying all the methods he could think of, the Blood-Transforming Gourd still did not respond, and it did not emit the blood-red light as it did before in Wu Yuanhua's hand.

"It seems that this Blood-Transforming Gourd must have some special activation method."

Su Mu thought to himself, "Dongfang Liuyun is knowledgeable and experienced, he might know the origin of this Blood-Transforming Gourd.

Even if he doesn't know, it doesn't matter. We'll go to the capital's main government office, and there will definitely be someone there who knows its origins."

Su Mu put the Blood-Transforming Gourd into his storage ring and felt that his strength had recovered a little. He stood up, identified the direction, and chased after the group of people.

…………

Zhao Tonglin and others placed the siege troops on both sides of the road. More than a dozen people from the Taiping Division led more than a hundred soldiers to guard in front of the siege troops.

Zhao Tonglin stood in the middle of the road.

He stared at the direction they came from. As long as Wu Yuanhua appeared, they would attack immediately.

Zhao Tonglin was very clear about the gap between himself and the strong men in the fusion realm. He was also very clear that they only had one chance to take action.

Regardless of whether they can hurt Wu Yuanhua this time, their fate is already determined.

There was no fear on Zhao Tonglin's face, but instead it was full of ferocity.

He should have died in Xiangzhou, but now his life is saved. What is there for him not to fight for?
You dared to fight hard before, so why don’t you dare to do so now?
Even at the risk of his life, he would keep Wu Yuanhua here for an hour!
Suddenly, Zhao Tonglin saw a figure rushing along the road.

The opponent was very fast. As soon as he saw a black shadow, it quickly grew larger.

"Do it!"

Zhao Tonglin yelled at the top of his voice.

boom!
Several mysterious siege weapons instantly condensed into lightning as thick as a bucket.

Then the lightning shot towards the black shadow.

Su Mu was speeding on his way when suddenly his eyes lit up, and then he saw thick lightning coming all over the sky.

Thunder booms!
Su Mu was startled.

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

He shouted loudly, and a dazzling golden light suddenly burst out from his body, and then he punched forward fiercely.

Crackling!

Lightning is everywhere.

Su Mu bent his body slightly, but the lightning had already been shattered by him.

Immediately afterwards, the second lightning bolt arrived in front of him at lightning speed.

boom! boom! boom!
After a few loud noises, the lightning dissipated.

Su Mu held his knees with both hands, panting.

There were large charred areas on his body, which were healing quickly, revealing intact skin and flesh.

"Stop, it's me!"

Su Mu was startled when he heard the sound of Xuan Bing accumulating power, and he hurriedly shouted.

"Lord Su? Stop it, stop it now!"

Zhao Tonglin was rushing forward with a knife in his hand when he suddenly heard Su Mu's voice. He stopped and shouted loudly.

Those who were in charge of controlling the siege soldiers also reacted at this time. The one they were attacking was not a powerful person in the fusion realm, but Commander Su.

Everyone subconsciously shrank their necks, feeling a wave of fear in their hearts.

But the next moment, they were all filled with shock.

Commander Su could actually withstand the attack of the siege soldiers?

The power of these siege soldiers is enough to hurt even the strong ones in the Dan realm.

Is Commander Su so powerful?

"Master Su, are you okay?"

Zhao Tonglin exclaimed loudly, surprised and happy.

"It was fine at first, but now it's almost like that."

Su Mu said angrily, "I didn't die at Wu Yuanhua's hands, but I almost died at your hands.

Zhao Zhenfu, you almost did something big."

If Su Mu didn't know Zhao Tonglin's reckless personality, he would have really thought that he was an undercover agent of Prince Su Li Shu.

Zhao Tonglin had a reckless character and had his legs broken several times when he had fought with Su Wang Li Shu's men.

This guy still hasn't learned his lesson and is still doing things in a rush.

Don't you even look at the person coming before attacking?
Fortunately, he had mastered the fifth level of golden body, otherwise, that wave of thunder attack just now would have taken him away directly.

"This is also my first time ambushing a fusion realm expert, so I was a little too nervous."

Zhao Tonglin scratched his head embarrassedly and said, "Master Su, you won? Wu Yuanhua is dead?"

"No."

Su Mu shook his head and said, "You think highly of me."

An injured person in the fusion realm is still in the fusion realm, it is not possible for him to die so easily.

"Where is Prince Su?"

Su Mu said in a deep voice. Seeing Zhao Tonglin and others here, Su Mu was sure that Wu Yuanhua had not caught up.

Otherwise, Zhao Tonglin and others would not be safe. This made Su Mu feel relieved for the time being.

"The Dongfang Zhenfu and his men are marching forward with Prince Su. I will stay here to meet you, Lord Su."

Zhao Tonglin said, "Originally I thought if Wu Yuanhua caught up, I would use these siege soldiers to delay him for a while—"

"Pack up the Xuan soldiers and go."

Su Mu spoke without waiting for him to speak.

Wu Yuanhua did fail, but that doesn’t mean he is safe.

Who knows how many remnants of Prince Su are left?

Dongfang Liuyun and his men no longer have these siege soldiers, and it would be dangerous if they encountered other remnants of King Su.

…………

The words are divided into two parts.

Just as Su Mu and Zhao Tonglin were gathering their Xuan soldiers and chasing after them.

Dongfang Liuyun, Mo Xuesong, Luo Anning and others were driving the prison van, which suddenly stopped.

Because a group of people appeared in front of them.

Those people were fully armed with fish-scale armor, strong bows and long spears.

Five or six hundred men blocked the middle of the road, and the leading general rode his horse forward.

"He is the temporary commander of the Taiping Division of Yuzhou and Xiangzhou. Is Su Mu, the former pacification commissioner of the Taiping Division of Songjiang Prefecture in Xiangzhou, available?"

He raised his voice.

"I am Dongfang Liuyun, the governor of the Taiping Division. Who are you? What do you want to see Commander Su for?"

Dongfang Liuyun did not relax his vigilance, but spoke.

"I am General Tan Shulang of the Shenwu Army."

The leading general slowly said, "From now on, Prince Su Li Shu will be in charge of this general."

Shenwu Army?
Dongfang Liuyun and others looked at each other.

The Shenwu Army is the imperial guard of Daxuan and also the most powerful force in the hands of the Daxuan royal family.

There are four branches of the Great Xuan Imperial Army: Shenwu, Shenwei, Shence and Shenlong.

These four imperial guards protect the capital and the Daxuan fortress. They can be said to be the most important trump cards in the hands of the Daxuan royal family and the most elite troops of Daxuan.

The Shenwu Army has one general, who is a second-rank military officer, two generals, who are third-rank officers, and four generals, who are third-rank officers.

This Tan Shulan calls himself the General of the Shenwu Army, which means he should be a military officer of the third rank, equivalent to the commander-in-chief of the Taiping Division.

Dongfang Liuyun and Mo Xuesong are the Pacification Envoys of the Taiping Division, and their rank is fourth.

Although the Taiping Division and the Daxuan Imperial Guards have no direct relationship, even if Tan Shulan is one rank higher than them, he cannot control them.

However, Dongfang Liuyun and Mo Xuesong had just become pacification envoys not long ago, and they thought that since they were officials in the same dynasty, there was no need to offend each other.

"General Tan wants to take over the prisoners. Does he have the imperial decree?"

Dongfang Liuyun said politely.

The main reason was because he could see that Tan Shulan was a martial artist at the Jindan stage.

Moreover, the soldiers under his command are all in good spirits and well-equipped. If a conflict really breaks out, they may not be able to gain the advantage now.

After all, Su Mu was not there, and half of the Taiping Division's staff was taken away by Zhao Tonglin.

The Shenwu Army is the most elite army of Daxuan. Its supplies are three times higher than those of ordinary armies, and it often receives extra rewards from the court.

To be honest, people in the Taiping Division generally come from ordinary backgrounds and have carved out a path for themselves with their own strength and talent.

Many of the Great Xuan Imperial Guards are descendants of military honors, come from wealthy backgrounds, have ample resources, and are naturally strong.

"The Shenwu Army is the emperor's personal army. We represent the current emperor. What do you want?"

Tan Shulang said coldly, "Dealing with treason is the duty of our Great Xuan Imperial Guards. You, the Taiping Division, have crossed the line."

"Ok?"

Dongfang Liuyun frowned. What Tan Shulan said was not very pleasant.

He looked at Tan Shulan with some hesitation.

After all, he came from the underworld and had not been in the Taiping Division for long, so he didn't know much about the court's style of doing things.

For a moment, he didn't know whether there was anything wrong with what Tan Shulan did.

It was only a few days' journey from here to the capital. Logically, they could hand the people over to the Daxuan Imperial Guards and be relieved of their burden.

But their mission is to escort Prince Su to the capital. If they hand him over now, what if something goes wrong...

"General Tan, why don't we escort the prisoner to the capital together..."

Dongfang Liuyun said.

"I said, the criminal Su Wang is now under the control of my Shenwu Army."

There was a fierce light in Tan Shulang's eyes, and he spoke word by word.

“This is a military order, not a bargain.

Where is Su Muren? How dare he leave his post without permission? "

Tan Shulan glanced at the crowd and said coldly.

Judging from the clothes these people are wearing, there is only the Pacification Commissioner, but no Commander of the Taiping Division.

However, Su Mu was only the acting commander, not the real commander of the Taiping Division, and his official uniform might not have been changed.

"Commander Su is behind to stop the pursuers."

Dongfang Liuyun said, "General Tan, you came at the right time. The remnants of Prince Su had intended to kidnap the prisoners, and Commander Su is currently fighting with Wu Yuanhua. Since General Tan is going to take over the prisoners, he should quickly send someone to pick up Commander Su."

"Wu Yuanhua?"

Tan Shulang frowned, "It is your job to stop the pursuers. Hand over Prince Su, and I will take him back to the capital. You will be responsible for covering their retreat."

He waved his hand and the soldiers behind him started moving.

"General Tan, respect yourself!"

Dongfang Liuyun's face darkened and he shouted coldly.

The people behind him also grasped the hilts of their knives, and the atmosphere suddenly became tense.

"Why, Dongfang Liuyun, do you want to disobey military orders? Or do you want to fight this general?"

Tan Shulang placed his hand on the hilt of the knife at his waist, and a sharp aura emanated from him.

“I know you, you come from a great sect and are one of the world’s greatest geniuses.

But I tell you, even though you are the genius of the world, before you grow up, you will be vulnerable in front of this general.

In addition, I am a third-rank military officer, and you are only a fourth-rank pacification envoy. You are committing treason and are punishable by death."

"Take over the prisoners, but if anyone interferes, kill them without mercy!"

Tan Shulan shouted.

The sharp aura instantly locked onto Dongfang Liuyun and Mo Xuesong.

As long as they dare to make any move, they will inevitably be struck by Tan Shulan's thunder.

The soldiers under Tan Shulan's command rode their horses forward, all holding strong bows and crossbows in their hands, looking murderous.

The soldiers sent by Zhu Qi were already frightened silly.

The Shenwu Army is a legendary existence to these soldiers. How can ordinary soldiers dare to fight against the Shenwu Army?
If they didn't move, the dozens of people left in the Taiping Division would be no match for the Shenwu Army.

Dongfang Liuyun clenched his fists, "General Tan, have you ever considered the consequences of doing this?"
