"Did I read that correctly?"

Shi Binbin was stunned and asked, "Lü Sishou, just died like this?"

The Seven Stars Formation was broken in the blink of an eye. Two people died, and the remaining five were unable to maintain the formation.

Su Mu's body was seen shaking, and after a few muffled bangs, the five Jindan realm masters had fallen outside the martial arts arena.

They struggled hard to get up, but fell back to the ground helplessly.

Even the civil servants and guests now understood.

Even if you don't understand martial arts, you can see now that Su Mu's strength is much stronger than these Jindan realm powerhouses.

He was outnumbered seven by himself, and the opponent had also practiced some kind of combined attack formation, but in the end he was easily defeated by Su Mu.

Especially after the formation was broken, the five Jindan realm powerhouses couldn't even take on Su Mu's move.

"Although these five people are only at the initial stage of the Jindan realm, there are five of them. For Su Mu to be able to do this, it means that his strength is at least at the middle stage of the Jindan realm!"

In the audience, there were also experts from the military and the Supervisory Office. They also began to discuss the matter in a low voice, with shock inevitably in their eyes.

As everyone knows, Su Mu has just broken through to the Jindan realm not long ago. Today's banquet is to celebrate the breakthrough of Su Mu and Mo Xuesong.

In just a few days, he has already acquired the strength comparable to that of a mid-stage Jindan realm?

"Didn't you notice? The ten-foot golden body that Su Mu just displayed was definitely not an abnormality, it was the incense golden body!"

Someone's eyes flickered and he spoke in a deep voice.

"The way to become a god through incense, and even to cultivate a golden body through incense? Where did he get so much incense?"

The way of becoming a god through burning incense, although there are very few people practicing it nowadays, all warriors have more or less heard of it.

“I see. I heard that after Su Mu came to the capital, he has been practicing in the Yingling Cave of the Taiping Division. He even broke through the Jindan realm in the Yingling Cave.

He may have been blessed by the heroic spirits of the past of the Taiping Division, so he was able to cultivate the incense-burning golden body."

Someone analyzed it wisely.

In fact, before arriving in the capital, Su Mu had already revealed his golden body, but these people were not professional intelligence personnel, so naturally they couldn't think of so much at the moment.

Everyone just felt that this person's analysis made some sense.

If it weren't for the favor of the heroic spirits of the Taiping Division, how could an ordinary person possibly cultivate a golden body?
If you want to build a ten-foot-tall golden statue, you must at least gain the sincere support of the people of the prefecture, right?
How is this different from rebellion?
The reason why fewer and fewer people are practicing the way of becoming a god through burning incense is, firstly, because it is difficult to practice, and secondly, because it is difficult to control the scale of practice, and if one is not careful, it may deviate into the path of cults or rebellion.

In fact, if one wants to practice the way of becoming a god through incense to the highest level, there are only two possible outcomes.

Either you establish a religion or become a Buddha.

Or you can become the king and the master of the world.

The Wen Xiang Sect in the past and the Pure Land Sect today both follow this path.

The people of the Taiping Division practice the way of becoming gods through burning incense. Although it cannot be said that there is anything wrong with this, it is still somewhat sensitive.

You have won the hearts of the people, what will the emperor think?
"Take them away and interrogate them to find out who ordered them to come here."

Su Mu said lightly.

Before he finished speaking, Shi Binbin had already rushed forward with a group of Taiping officers and tied up the five Jindan realm powerhouses.

Although they did not die, the result that awaits them will be more miserable than death.

Do you really think the people from the Taiping Division are saints?

They will soon know what the Taiping Division's thunderous methods are!

Shi Binbin, feeling both ashamed and angry, took the five Jindan realm experts away.

Su Mu's eyes fell on the "audience".

"Everyone can see clearly what Su is like."

Su Mu said slowly, "Any technique that Su practices has an upright origin, and there is nothing that cannot be told to others.

If there are still people who doubt that Su is taking the path of magic cultivation and doing the things of the devil, then don’t blame Su Mu for being ruthless. "

His face darkened, and a murderous aura filled the air.

Everyone felt cold all over, and the weak civil servants even shivered.

Everyone was silent, and those who had their own plans lowered their heads secretly. Now they dared not jump out again.

Are you kidding? Seven Jindan realm masters attacked at the same time and practiced the art of combined attack, but they still couldn't defeat Su Mu.

How dare they take action now?

The man surnamed Su has mastered the Golden Body of Incense. In his current situation, unless a Nascent Soul expert or a high-level Core Formation expert takes action, an ordinary Core Formation expert cannot defeat him at all.

Going there would only bring shame upon oneself and would have no effect at all.

They wanted to embarrass the Taiping Division, not themselves.

If you know that something cannot be done, of course you won’t do it.

"Master Su, have you also practiced the Way of Incense?"

Suddenly, a white-haired old man spoke up, "As far as I know, practicing this kind of martial arts requires gathering incense and vows, which can easily lead to gathering people to rebel. Lord Su, you are the commander of the Taiping Division, in a high position and with great power. Once you have such intentions, the consequences will be disastrous!
I think that unless you give up your incense cultivation, you cannot leave the capital to guard a state!"

The old man's temperament is somewhat similar to Zhu Jiuyuan's, and he can be seen at first glance as a well-educated scholar.

Although this kind of person does not practice martial arts, he has a bad temper, is tough, and is not afraid of death.

The most important thing is that they are still very prestigious and have many disciples.

If we kill them at will, there will be endless troubles.

Su Mu didn't care about any consequences, but he wasn't cruel enough to kill someone just because of a single word.

"I'm afraid you can't manage the appointment of the Taiping Division, old sir."

Su Mu said calmly.

"I can't do anything about it, but I will definitely write to His Majesty to explain the severity of the situation."

The old man said in a deep voice, "I believe that you were a good person in the past, Lord Su. You have made contributions in turning the tide when you were sent to the Demon Court, guarded the border, and suppressed rebellions.

But human hearts cannot stand the test. Throughout history, there are countless people who started out with bright intentions but ultimately lost themselves.

If a state is really handed over to you, Lord Su, to guard, with your ability and skills, it is only a matter of time before that state becomes your private property.

If I were you, Lord Su, I would not be able to resist the temptation of becoming a god through incense."

The old man looked frank.

Everyone nodded.

This is the drawback of practicing the way of becoming a god through incense and burning incense.

The imperial court would never use any warrior who practices the way to become a god through incense.

If you are not valued by the court, you will not be able to use the court's support to collect incense and power.

If one still wants to practice cultivation in this situation, then he can only establish his own religion, or simply rebel.

No matter which one, they will eventually become enemies of the imperial court.

When Taishi Rou gave the Huangtianhoutu Jue to Su Mu, she had no good intentions.

She knew very well that once Su Mu practiced the Emperor of Heaven and Earth, he would definitely be suspected by Emperor Xuan.

She gave the Huang Tian Hou Tu Jue to Su Mu. Regardless of whether Su Mu practiced it or not, she would spread the news. In the end, everyone in the world would know that Su Mu had the Huang Tian Hou Tu Jue. Even if he said that he did not practice it, I am afraid not many people would believe him.

It is also because of this that Su Mu has never concealed the fact that he has practiced the Emperor of Heaven and Earth Technique.

Tai Shirou's plan was not bad, but what she could not have imagined was that although Su Mu also needed incense and vows to practice the Huangtian Houtu Jue, he did not need that much. If someone wanted to guess the progress of Su Mu's practice of the Huangtian Houtu Jue, it would be impossible to guess it.

If ordinary people want to cultivate a ten-foot-tall golden body by practicing the Huangtian Houtu Jue, they must at least win the loyalty of the people in one prefecture.

But even when Su Mu was the pacification envoy of the Taiping Division of Songjiang Prefecture, not all the people of Songjiang Prefecture believed in him.

The warriors present were all speculating that Su Mu was able to cultivate a ten-foot-tall golden body because he was favored by the heroic spirits of the Taiping Division.

Because normally, it is impossible for Su Mu to cultivate a ten-foot-tall golden body.

"Please feel free, old man."

Su Mu said calmly.

Lin Hou Bai Wuya knew that he was practicing the Huang Tian Hou Tu Jue, but Lin Hou Bai Wuya didn't say anything. So what was it other people's turn to say?
After all, they thought Su Mu would care, but Su Mu didn't care at all.

Whether or not he could guard a state was not important to Su Mu at all.

As long as he holds the title of commander, he can still get points even if he is not allowed to take up a real position.

As long as it doesn't affect his points, he doesn't care about other things.

As for the power of incense and vows, he has other ways to obtain it.

"So, Lord Su, are you going to persist in your delusion?"

The old man said in a deep voice, "Are you planning to follow the path of becoming a god through worshipping incense until the end?

Lord Su, you are still young. Even if you give up the path of becoming a god through incense, with your martial arts talent, you will be able to achieve great things in the true essence martial arts. Why bother?"

"As long as you, Lord Su, are willing to give up the path of becoming a god through incense, I am willing to report to His Majesty that you can choose any state in the world. You can be the commander of any state you want!"

Su Mu burst out laughing.

This old man really uses every possible means, including coercion and inducement.

Su Mu almost wanted to ask the other party's identity. You said I can choose whatever I want?

"I appreciate your kindness, old man."

Su Mu said slowly, "But if you don't understand martial arts training, I don't want you to worry about it, old man."

The old man looked at Su Mu for a while and sighed deeply.

"I found out!"

Just at this moment, Shi Binbin came back in a hurry.

Without shying away from the people present, he spoke directly, "Lü Sishou and the others are actually from the Pure Land Sect!

All of this was planned behind the scenes by the White Lotus Envoy of the Pure Land Sect.

The seven of them have mastered the Seven Stars Gathering Formation, with the sole purpose of killing you in public and bringing shame to the Taiping Division!"

"The White Lotus Envoy of the Pure Land Sect? Isn't he dead?"

Su Mu frowned and said.

"We need to ask the Dali Temple and the Ministry of Justice about this."

Shi Binbin sneered, "If I had known they were so useless, I should have locked him up in the prison of our Taiping Division.

Now everyone has run away, they don’t know yet.”

Among the guests present, there were many officials from the Dali Temple and the Ministry of Justice. When they heard Shi Binbin's words, their faces turned very ugly.

"As far as I know, the White Lotus Envoy of the Pure Land Sect was imprisoned in the Heavenly Prison together with Prince Su. After being imprisoned, he suddenly fell ill and died. Shi Zhenfu, you are not mistaken, are you?"

An official from the Dali Temple couldn't help but say.

"I hope I'm mistaken."

Shi Binbin sneered, “But unfortunately, I was not wrong.

The White Lotus Envoy of the Pure Land Sect not only escaped from the Heavenly Prison, but he is now hiding in the capital."

Shi Binbin's eyes fell on the people of the Great Xuan Imperial Guards. "Great Xuan Imperial Guards, on duty in the capital, such a demon is hiding in the capital, and you didn't notice it?"

"Didn't you guys at the Taiping Division find out about it?"

The Great Xuan Imperial Guards responded unceremoniously.

"Now who discovered it?"

Shi Binbin curled his lips.

"I know you guys are not convinced. Wait, I will go and capture the White Lotus Envoy of the Pure Land Sect now, and then we'll see what you have to say!"

After that, Shi Binbin looked at Su Mu and said, "You are the commander, and this incident was caused by you. According to the rules, you are in charge of this operation. Give the order."

Logically speaking, Su Mu did not work in the main office. Although he had been promoted to commander-in-chief, there were several other commanders present in the Taiping Division's main office, so it was not his turn to give orders.

However, today is the celebration of him and Mo Xuesong's breakthrough to the Jindan realm, and the Taiping Division was originally an opportunity for them to establish their authority.

At this time, naturally no other commander would jump out to compete with him.

Su Mu did not refuse, nodded, and said directly, "Close the door. From now on, except for those from the Taiping Division, the rest of the people can only enter but not leave.

Until the White Lotus Envoy of the Pure Land Sect is captured, no one is allowed to contact the outside world."

"Su Mu, you have no right to restrict our actions!"

One person said angrily.

Today's guests are all well-known figures in the capital, and many of them are even of higher rank than Su Mu.

When have they ever been insulted like this?
Su Mu just glanced at him, and then said coldly, "If anyone tries to leave by force, they will be regarded as accomplices of the Pure Land Sect and will be killed without mercy, and their entire clan will be traced afterwards!"

"Yes!"

The Taiping captains present shouted in unison.

The sound of weapons being unsheathed was continuous.

The shining blade was pointed at all the guests present.

The guests were shaking with anger, but seeing that the Taiping Division was serious about it, they did not dare to act rashly.

"Shi Binbin, bring the map."

Su Mu said in a deep voice.

Shi Binbin had been prepared. He immediately took out the floor plan of the capital, pulled over a table, swept all the food and wine on it to the ground, and then spread out the floor plan.

"According to what those people said, the White Lotus Envoy of the Pure Land Sect is hiding in this area. It's not far from the city wall, and there's a drainage canal that leads to the outside of the city. To this side is the market town, with a lot of people."

Shi Binbin said quickly, "If he gets desperate, he could easily hurt innocent people."

"How about sealing off this area?"

Su Mu said in a deep voice.

"It's not easy to handle."

Shi Binbin shook his head and said, "This is the capital city, and it is close to the market town. Once it is blocked, the impact will be too great."

"In that case, then we should strike him to death with the force of thunder and not give him the chance to escape to the market."

Su Mu said slowly.
