Chapter 368: Bewitching (Please subscribe, please collect, please vote for the monthly ticket and recommend the ticket)
"Can you get it out? Do you know what it is?"

Hou Wuque said, with a hint of disdain in his words.

You, Su Mu, have some talent and strength, but in terms of knowledge, who are you?
Even Sha Lianting doesn't know about the Blood-Transforming Gourd. How would you, a guy born as a refugee, know about it?

Before Hou Wuque finished speaking, Su Mu suddenly flipped his wrist and placed a vermilion gourd on the table.

From the time Hou Wuque and the other two fled separately, to the time they were forced back into the room, to the time Su Mu killed the two men under Prince Su, the table in the room was still intact.

Hou Wuque looked at the gourd on the table and his eyes suddenly widened.

This gourd looks exactly the same as the previous one!
Before Su Mu came, it was impossible for him to know that King Su's men were coming to trade with him.

So it is impossible for him to prepare such a gourd in advance.

What exactly is going on?

Hou Wuque was confused.

"It's just the Blood-Transforming Gourd. The reason why Prince Su's people lied to you is because they don't have the Blood-Transforming Gourd. It's in my hands."

Su Mu said lightly.

Hou Wuque subconsciously reached out to grab it.

Su Mu had already put away the Blood-Transforming Gourd.

Hou Wuque stared at Su Mu, "You actually know about the Blood-Transforming Gourd?"

"Is it weird?"

Su Mu said, "Now you can confess."

Hou Wuque swallowed his saliva.

The Blood-Transforming Gourd is actually in Su Mu's hands?

A doubt flashed through his mind, but he quickly denied it.

Again, Su Mu had no way of knowing that King Su's people were trading with him before he came here, so there was no reason for him to prepare a fake blood-transforming gourd in advance.

Therefore, the Blood-Transforming Gourd in Su Mu's hand is most likely real!

This also explains why Prince Su's people used a fake blood-transforming gourd to deceive himself.

They wanted to save Prince Su, but they lost the real Blood-Transforming Gourd!

If I could get the Blood-Transforming Gourd from Su Mu...

Hou Wuque's brain started working frantically. Judging from Su Mu's expression, he probably didn't know the power of the Blood-Transforming Gourd yet. This crisis was actually his opportunity!
"I have a list of names. Some of them are followers of the Pure Land Sect, and some have been bribed by our Pure Land Sect. If you have the courage, you can follow the list and capture them all."

Hou Wuque said slowly, "As long as you give me the Blood-Transforming Gourd and let me leave the city, I will give you this list."

“How can I be sure the list is real?”

Su Mu said in a deep voice.

"I have another account book."

Hou Wuque said confidently, "How much money they received from the Pure Land Sect and what they did for the Pure Land Sect are all recorded in the book."

"But don't blame me for not reminding you. This account book involves a wide range of issues. Even you may not be able to bear the consequences."

Hou Wuque said.

"Isn't this better?"

Su Mu smiled faintly and said, "Aren't you just trying to get me to die?"

Being able to rescue Hou Wuque from the Heavenly Prison is not something that an ordinary person can do.

It is conceivable that this matter will involve countless people, and those people must be big figures in the capital.

The relationships behind these big shots are so complicated that one move can affect the entire body.

What Su Mu had done in Wuling City and Songjiang Prefecture before, it was impossible to repeat in the capital.

Cleansing out the entire Great Xuan Capital City is something that not only cannot be done by him, but even by Emperor Xuan himself.

If that were to happen, I'm afraid the entire Daxuan would fall apart immediately.

"Where is the account book?"

Su Mu asked in a deep voice.

"Do you think I would carry something so important with me?"

Hou Wuque said, "You send me out of the city first, and then I will naturally give you the place where the account books are hidden.

Don't scare me. If I really don't see any hope of survival, I would rather die with this secret than make you happy."

Su Mu smiled contemptuously, turned around and walked out.

Hou Wuque was slightly startled.

"What, you don't want to leave?"

Su Mu had already walked out of the room and turned back and said lightly.

Hou Wuque came to his senses and hurriedly followed him. He did not expect that Su Mu would be so easy to talk to this time.

Shi Binbin and others had already surrounded the courtyard tightly.

Everyone was on high alert with a vigilant look on their faces.

This place is too close to the downtown area. If Hou Wuque and others rush out, it will easily cause casualties among the people.

After arriving here, Su Mu took action personally and killed the minions on the periphery with thunderous force.

Then he entered the yard and heard the sound of fighting at first, but then there was no movement.

Just when Shi Binbin was about to lose patience and was about to have someone rush in, the door suddenly opened, and then he saw Su Mu walking out slowly.

Following behind him was a flashy man dressed in white.

"Lao Su——"

Shi Binbin raised his voice.

"nailed it."

Su Mu said, “I’ll leave this place to you, clean it up, and I’ll take him out of the city.

Don't release those people from the main yamen yet, wait until I come back."

Shi Binbin looked at Hou Wuque, a thoughtful look flashing across his face.

Soon, his expression changed slightly.

Could it be that some of those people in the general office are related to the Pure Land Sect?
This matter can be a big or small matter.

Shi Binbin knew that officials in the capital were not so clean, but normally everyone turned a blind eye.

After all, Daxuan's current situation is not very good. Even though he knows that some things are like drinking poison to quench thirst, he has to do them.

If this matter is vigorously used to rectify the administration of officials, it will only make things worse for Daxuan.

Therefore, even the Taiping Division did not dare to act rashly.

Could it be that Su Mu is a young and fearless man who wants to do something big?

Shi Binbin opened his mouth, wanting to remind Su Mu.

Before he could say anything, Su Mu had already taken Hou Wuque away.

Dongfang Liuyun chuckled and said, "Don't worry, Su Mu is more mature than you think. He won't do anything he is not sure of."

"You trust him so much?"

Shi Binbin said.

"Why else? Why do you think I joined the Taiping Division? If it weren't for Su Mu, I wouldn't have joined the Taiping Division. Although our Tianxia Sect is poor, we are not like the Beast Taming Sect, where whoever gives you milk is your mother. Mo Xuesong joined the Taiping Division for the benefits, but I didn't."

Dongfang Liuyun said.

Mo Xuesong: “…”

What the hell does it have to do with me? I didn't say a word.

If you keep making personal attacks like this, I'll be angry.

"Blind Dongfang, I am at the Jindan stage!"

Mo Xuesong said coldly, “You want to have a martial arts show with me?”

"One hundred taels!"

Dongfang Liuyun said decisively.

"not enough!"

"Three hundred taels, no more, or you can just beat me up. You don't dare to kill me anyway."

"It won't happen again."

Mo Xuesong silently put the banknote into his arms. Shi Binbin: "..."

…………

Su Mu took Hou Wuque through the streets and alleys.

Since coming to the capital of Daxuan, Su Mu has never taken a serious look at the capital of Daxuan.

After he escorted Prince Su and Hou Wuque to the Dali Temple, he went to the Taiping Division Headquarters and continued to practice in the Yingling Cave.

If it wasn't for the purpose of capturing Hou Wuque this time, he wouldn't even have walked out of the Taiping Division's main office.

The bustling scene on the street made Su Mu feel like he was back in the world.

Hou Wuque was very elegant, just like a rich young man out for a stroll.

While walking, he introduced the shops on both sides of the street to Su Mu.

This rouge shop is run by Minister Zhang's family, that gold shop belongs to Minister Wang's family, the restaurant on the left is owned by General Li, and behind the inn on the right stands Censor Zhao.

"In this Great Xuanjing City, if a sign falls, it can at least hit three officials above the fourth rank."

Hou Wuque said, "These people are connected to each other, intermarrying with each other, and their relationships are complicated. If you touch one of them, you may offend several others.

Daxuan has been established for a thousand years and has long been an old man on his deathbed. Now it is confused and corrupt.

Su Mu, you Taiping Division, do you really want to be buried with it?"

Su Mu had no expression on his face and said nothing.

“You have cultivated the Imperial Heaven and Earth Art, so there is no future for you to stay in the Great Mysterious Peace Division. With your ability, if you leave the Great Mysterious Peace Division, you will have great things to do in the vast world.

If you and I join forces, we can take over the Pure Land Sect for ourselves. At that time, I would like to make you the leader and assist you.

With the help of the Pure Land Sect, your Imperial Heaven and Empress Earth Skill will soon be perfected..."

Hou Wuque said.

"If I remember correctly, you are only the White Lotus Envoy of the Pure Land Sect. There are several levels above you. Aren't you afraid of biting your tongue when you say such big words?"

Su Mu said lightly.

"Yes, I am only a White Lotus Envoy. There are indeed a few people in the Pure Land Sect who are higher than me. But that was just because I didn't want to compete before."

Hou Wuque said calmly, "I am not afraid to tell you that Sha Lianting is the leader on the surface, but in fact there is someone else behind the Pure Land Sect.

But I have never been qualified to meet this person, and that is why I have always kept a low profile.”

"Ok?"

Su Mu's heart moved slightly.

The Pure Land Sect is causing trouble everywhere. Is there someone else who is its leader?
This was news he had not known before.

I'm afraid even the Taiping Division doesn't have this information.

Just this piece of news makes the trip worthwhile.

Who would have thought that Sha Lianting was just a puppet?
The mastermind behind the Pure Land Sect is hiding deeply enough.

"Do you have any clues about the leader behind this?"

Su Mu asked in a deep voice.

"He is hiding very deeply. I have been searching for many years but have not found anything. However, I can be sure that this person is hiding in the Great Xuan Court and his position is not low."

Hou Wuque shrugged and said casually.

"If you have the ability to dig him out, I have to thank you.

Without him, Sha Lianting would not be my opponent at all."

Hou Wuque said confidently.

Su Mu had lived two lifetimes, so how could he not hear the provocation in Hou Wuque's words?

He walked forward with an expressionless face, talking to Hou Wuque in a casual manner.

Not to mention that Hou Wuque came from the Pure Land Sect, his insight and demeanor were indeed rare among men.

There were only wrong names, not wrong nicknames.

The name of "Young Master of Flowers" is quite appropriate.

Su Mu now has only one feeling, that is, you are a beautiful woman, but you are a thief.

"You seem to know a lot about the Great Xuan Capital?"

Su Mu said.

"That's natural."

Hou Wuque said with a smile, "Before I was fourteen, I had always lived in Daxuan Capital.

After becoming the White Lotus Envoy of the Pure Land Sect, I was also responsible for contacting the believers in the city of Daxuanjing.

I used to come to this Great Xuan Capital City often."

He looked at the prosperity on both sides of the street with an intoxicated look on his face.

"This great world belongs to the Li family, so why can't I also belong to it?"

Hou Wuque murmured.

"You should survive first and then talk about it."

Su Mu said lightly.

"In my life, I have never lost to you except for the two times I lost to you."

Hou Wuque said.

As long as he can get the Blood-Transforming Gourd this time, he will definitely be able to defeat Su Mu next time.

"You took the Blood-Transforming Gourd from Prince Su. Do you know its origin?"

Hou Wuque said casually, seemingly unintentionally.

"What do you want to say?"

Su Mu said with a smile.

"It sounds like you know a lot about it, why don't you tell me about it?
Although I snatched it from Wu Yuanhua, I don’t know much about it.”

"It's nothing."

Hou Wuque looked around and said, "This thing is one of the thirteen treasures of the Great Xuan Ancestor, but it is the lowest among the thirteen treasures.

Now, it's more symbolic than practical.

There's really no use for you keeping it.

This thing is only useful in the hands of the Li family."

"is it?"

Su Mu said noncommittally, "Then why can Wu Yuanhua also use it?"

"If Wu Yuanhua could really use it, why did you take it away from him?"

Hou Wuque said, "Wu Yuanhua was just barely activating it, he wasn't really using it at all.

I didn't lie to you, only the Li family can really use it."

"Then what are you here for?"

Su Mu asked back.

"I want it not to use it, but to use it as a symbol."

Hou Wuque said confidently, "The treasure of the Great Xuan Ancestor is in my hands, doesn't that mean I am the son of destiny?"

Su Mu: "..."

Where does this conclusion come from?

According to this statement, he is now holding the Blood-Transforming Gourd, so Su Mu is also the son of destiny?
Forget it. He doesn't have the interest to be someone's son.

"I still say the same thing, Su Mu, as long as you are willing, you and I can accomplish great things together. If you and I join forces, who in the world can be our opponent?
As long as we overthrow Daxuan and establish our own country, then both Yaoting and Beiting will have to submit to us!
If you think about that kind of situation, wouldn’t you be excited?”

Hou Wuque turned his head to look at Su Mu and said seriously.

"As long as you are willing, I am willing to be your deputy and assist you to ascend to the position of the common ruler of the world."

Hou Wuque's face flashed with excitement, "Isn't this much better than when you were in the Taiping Division?

You are in the Taiping Division, and at best you are just a Marquis of Taiping. Are you willing to risk your life for those mediocre people?

Think about it, you, the Taiping Division, fought bravely at the front, but what did those people you protected do in the capital?
Don't you want to kill all these people?"
