The First Marquis of Daxuan

Inside Longshan Mansion.

Chang Lingqing, the pacification envoy of the Taiping Division of Longshan Prefecture, hurried into a courtyard.

"Commander, there is news."

Chang Lingqing bowed and said, "Everything is normal in Wuling City. According to the news sent back by Zhao Zhenfu, he did not find anything unusual."

"Zhao Po Nu is a fool."

Shi Binbin couldn't help but say.

"Shi Zhenfu, please be careful with your words!"

Luo Yuxuan said in a deep voice, "Zhao Zhenfu fought against the demons in Daxing Mountain and never feared death. He is a good man who stands tall and upright."

"Shi Binbin, if you were in Zhao Zhenfu's position, you might not be able to do as well as he does."

Su Mu said lightly.

"I don't mean anything else."

Shi Binbin said awkwardly, "I know that the brothers in our Taiping Division are all heroes, but I am——"

Snapped!
He slapped himself.

"I'm such a foul mouth."

Everyone also knew that Shi Binbin had no ill intentions, he just spoke too quickly.

“It seems that although the people of the Pure Land Sect disguised themselves as Lord Luo, they are indeed keeping a low profile.”

Dongfang Liuyun pondered and said, "But I guess, once they gain a foothold, they will definitely lure Zhao Zhenfu back to Wuling City and kill them all."

"You are wrong about that."

Shi Binbin tried hard to hold it back, but failed. "I think the people of the Pure Land Sect don't want to kill Zhao Zhenfu and the others, but they just don't dare."

"how do I say this?"

Mo Xuesong asked in confusion, "According to what City Lord Luo said, the person who attacked him that day should be at the Jindan stage. With that person's strength, Zhao Zhenfu is definitely no match for him."

"It's not a question of strength."

Shi Binbin said, "You have only been in our Taiping Division for a short time, so you don't know.

Our Taiping Division has its own way of communicating. If the Wuling City Taiping Division loses contact, it will be easy for the Taiping Division to detect it.

Outsiders cannot possibly know the contact information of our Taiping Division, so it is almost impossible for them to pretend to be the Taiping Division's pacification envoy."

"It's useless even if they have the contact information of the Taiping Division."

Dongfang Liuyun said, "The Pure Land Sect wants to cause chaos in the world, not to protect the country and the people. If we kill Zhao Zhenfu, who will help them resist the demons that come out of Daxing Mountain?"

"These bastards!"

Shi Binbin said bitterly, "We in the Taiping Division are fighting hard in the front, but they are hiding in the back and causing chaos in the world. They deserve to be damned!

Su Mu, if it were you, I would say we should just gather our men and rush to Wuling City to kill all the people of the Pure Land Sect!"

"Absolutely not!"

Luo Yuxuan's face turned pale and he quickly said.

“If we just charge forward like this, once the Pure Land Sect becomes aware of it, Wuling City will be devastated.

We don’t know how many Pure Land Sect members are hiding in Wuling City. If we attack the city rashly, we will get half the result with twice the effort.”

"Su Mu, what do you think?"

Shi Binbin couldn't refute Luo Yuxuan, so he could only turn to Su Mu.

"Lord Luo is right."

Su Mu pondered.

He is your father-in-law, so of course you say he is right.

Shi Binbin complained in his heart, the Pure Land Sect will only collapse under our thundering force, what damage can it cause?
“As the Black Lotus Envoy said before, the Pure Land Sect is preparing to occupy Jingzhou, and Wuling City is their first step to occupy Jingzhou.

According to him, followers of the Pure Land Sect are gathering towards Wuling City."

Su Mu said slowly, "When the Black Lotus Envoy left Wuling City, there were already tens of thousands of Pure Land Sect followers in Wuling City, and there will be even more now."

"If we mobilize our troops to attack them, once they notice us, they can defend the city."

Luo Anning said, "If we want to break through Wuling City, which is defended by tens of thousands of Pure Land Sect followers, I'm afraid even a hundred thousand troops may not be able to do it."

"The most terrifying thing is that if the Pure Land followers become desperate and start a massacre in the city..."

Luo Yuxuan's face turned pale.

Chang Lingqing's expression changed slightly, and he straightened his body. He never thought that he would have the honor to participate in the discussion of such an important event.

"Commander, I have an idea."

Chang Lingqing said.

"Chang Zhenfu, just speak frankly if you have anything to say."

Su Mu said with a smile.

“If we want to find out how many Pure Land followers there are in Wuling City, the best way is for someone to go to Wuling City.

Commander, your identities are special. It will be easy for you to be recognized by the people of Pure Land Sect if you go to Wuling City.

But it is different for my subordinates. They can use the excuse of hunting monsters to go to Wuling City.

Once I sneak into Wuling City, I can take the opportunity to investigate thoroughly—"

Chang Lingqing said.

"You are courageous, but this is not feasible."

Su Mu shook his head and said, "Even if you go to Wuling City, you won't be able to tell who are the common people and who are the followers of the Pure Land Sect."

"You're driving me crazy."

Shi Binbin said impatiently, "This won't work, and that won't work either, so what do we do now?
Just watch the Pure Land Sect occupy Wuling?
Su Mu, don't forget that you are now the commander of Jingzhou Taiping Division. The Pure Land Sect is wreaking havoc in Jingzhou, and you, the commander of Taiping Division, are seriously derelict in your duty!"

"The best way is to let the Pure Land Sect members leave the city on their own."

Su Mu said slowly.

"They are not fools, how could they take the initiative to leave the city?"

Shi Binbin said.

"What if there was a reason they had to leave town?"

Su Mu said, "For example, the person they want to kill appears outside Wuling City."

"You mean-"

Shi Binbin stroked his chin, his eyes falling on Luo Yuxuan, "Using City Lord Luo as bait?"

His expression became a little strange. Su Mu was really amazing. He could even let his own father-in-law go.

I don’t know whether Luo Yuxuan will be furious.

"In order to prevent their affairs from being exposed in advance, the Pure Land Sect must want to kill me.

If I show up, they will definitely send people to hunt me down."

Luo Yuxuan said, "Using me as bait can indeed lure them to death, but even if they send people to kill me, it is impossible for them to come out in full force.

I know myself well enough to know that I am not worth their whole efforts.”

"You alone are not enough. What if we add people from the Wuling City Taiping Division?"

Su Mu said, "There can't be too many people, and there can't be too few.

What if City Lord Luo, you take Zhao Zhenfu's envoys to the outskirts of Wuling City and confront the Pure Land Sect about who is the real City Lord of Wuling City and who is the fake one?"

…………

Wuling City, City Lord’s Mansion.

In the backyard, a dazzling white light flashed.

A huge body emitting white light slowly appeared in the center of the yard.

The white giant was ten feet tall and had a solemn appearance.

An invisible aura emanated from him.

Everyone present was looking at the white giant with fascination.

Hou Wuque was sitting cross-legged there. The moment he closed his eyes, the white giant suddenly opened his eyes.

He turned his head, looked around the room, and couldn't help but smile.

The White Lotus Golden Body is finally completed!
Hou Wuque's heart was filled with joy.

He finally understood what this perspective was. It turned out that this was what it was like to see the world from the perspective of the White Lotus Golden Body.

Su Mu's golden body of Emperor Heaven and Empress Earth should also be one of a kind.

"Su Mu, Su Mu, you have the Golden Body of Heaven and Earth, and I have also trained the Golden Body of White Lotus. When we meet next time, don't even think about defeating me again!"

Hou Wuque was filled with a sense of power.

After taking the blood pill, his cultivation has been fully restored and even improved to a higher level. He has now reached the half-step infant transformation stage.

Now that he has controlled Wuling City and collected a large amount of incense and prayer power, he has also cultivated the White Lotus Golden Body.

He now felt stronger than ever.

He finally understood why Su Mu was able to beat him.

This kind of golden body of incense is indeed very powerful.

No matter what realm the warrior himself is at, as long as he has enough incense and vows, his golden body will continue to become stronger, and it will be no problem to surpass his own cultivation realm.

When Su Mu was just a Zhenyuan Realm warrior, he was able to defeat the Jindan Realm warrior. Wasn't it because of his Huangtian Houtu Golden Body?

Now, I, Hou Wuque, also have a golden body!
"As long as I completely control Wuling City, my White Lotus Golden Body will be comparable to that of a Nascent Soul. Su Mu will not be my opponent in a single round."

Hou Wuque sneered in his heart.

call!
Hou Wuque opened his eyes, and the golden body of the white lotus turned into a white light and flew into his forehead.

Hou Wuque flipped his wrist, and a white iron whip appeared in his hand.

The Dragon Spine Whip is designed to break a warrior's body.

Those who follow the path of martial arts to attain sainthood through the physical body will all be restrained by this whip.

"Su Mu, Su Mu, in terms of true essence cultivation, I am higher than you. You have the golden body of incense and fire, and I have it too. You also cultivate the physical body to become a holy martial artist, and I also have the Dragon Spine Whip to restrain you. What right do you have to fight me?"

Hou Wuque said to himself.

Ever since Su Mu destroyed his inner elixir, he has regarded Su Mu as his mortal enemy.

He will never have peace until he defeats Su Mu.

He chose Wuling City as his first stop because Wuling City was where Su Mu grew up!

"Has the Black Lotus Envoy not returned yet? Is it so difficult to capture Luo Yuxuan?"

Hou Wuque stroked the Dragon Back Whip for a while and suddenly spoke.

"A few days ago, the Black Lotus Envoy sent back a message saying that he had found Luo Yuxuan's whereabouts. I believe we will be able to gain something soon."

A White Lotus sect member said, "Master, there is one more thing I want to report to you."

"what's up?"

Hou Wuque said casually.

"The Red Lotus Envoy encountered a powerful enemy in the Daxing Mountains and sent back a message for help."

The cultist said, "I think that even the Red Lotus Envoy is no match for him. The enemy must be very powerful. Unless the leader takes action, no one can save him."

The Five Lotus Envoys of the Pure Land Sect have been replaced by several others, but the Red Lotus Envoy has always remained firmly in his position.

Before Hou Wuque became the leader of the Pure Land Sect, the most powerful of the Five Lotus Envoys was the Red Lotus Envoy.

After Hou Wuque became the leader, this Red Lotus Envoy was the one who supported Hou Wuque the most.

Hou Wuque knew in his heart that this Red Lotus Envoy was that person's confidant.

Despite this, Hou Wuque had no intention of pulling out the Red Lotus Envoy.

At least from the current perspective, that person's existence is beneficial to him rather than harmful. Having a mysterious being with unfathomable strength supporting him is something he has been longing for.

As for the Red Lotus Envoy, although he might be that person's eyes and ears, isn't he also his helper?
With the Red Lotus Envoy around, his control over the Pure Land Sect will be even greater.

"A powerful enemy? Who is he? Someone from the Taiping Division?"

Hou Wuque said in a deep voice.

With the strength of the Red Lotus Envoy, there should be no one around Wuling City who can be a strong enemy of him.

As for those guys in Wuling Taiping Division, they are no match for the Red Lotus Envoy.

Could it be a monster that came out of the Daxing Mountains?
"The news from the Red Lotus Envoy said that it was a large Xuan Imperial Guard."

The cultist said, "The other party is holding on to the Red Lotus Envoy tightly and won't let go."

"The Great Xuan Imperial Army?"

Hou Wuque frowned, "Why did the Great Xuan Imperial Army appear outside Wuling City?"

He suddenly felt uneasy.

Although he usurped the throne, he disguised himself as Luo Yuxuan and temporarily controlled Wuling City.

But he has not yet completely gained a firm foothold. If the Great Xuan Imperial Guards discover them at this time, his plan will most likely fail.

"How many of them are there?"

Hou Wuque's face was filled with murderous intent.

"only one person."

The Pure Land Buddhist believer said.

"There is only one person, so he must have come out to practice alone."

Hou Wuque said in a deep voice, "If that's the case, then let him stay in Daxing Mountain forever."

"You guys stay at home, I'll go there myself, just in time to try out my White Lotus Golden Body!"

Hou Wuque stood up, flashed his body, and rushed out of the city.

…………

The outskirts of Daxing Mountain outside Wuling City.

A man in a blood-red robe slammed heavily into a tree trunk that was as thick as a man's embrace, causing the leaves to fall.

He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and looked at the burly general opposite him with a cold gaze.

"I have no past or present grudges against you, why are you forcing me so hard?"

The man said in a deep voice, "Do you really think that this family can be bullied?"

"There's so much nonsense!"

Zhuge Jin Gang snorted coldly, strode forward and punched out.

The fist whistled and instantly arrived in front of the Red Lotus Envoy.

Zhuge Jin Gang has been tracking down the villain who taught the Black Lotus Envoy the method of refining the Ten Thousand Souls Banner for days, but to no avail.

Just when he was feeling very angry, he met the Red Lotus Envoy.

Although Zhuge Jin Gang did not know the Red Lotus Envoy, he could smell the bloody smell of the other party from a long distance away.

We can't find the murderer, so if we encounter such a demon, we naturally can't let him go.

So Zhuge Jin Gang took out all his anger on the Red Lotus Envoy.

boom!boom!
The muffled sound echoed in the mountains and forests.

The Red Lotus Envoy retreated step by step, vomiting blood from his mouth.

Zhuge Jingang's violent power almost shattered all his bones.

suddenly.

A sharp sound of breaking air came from behind.

Zhuge Jingang snorted coldly, turned around and punched him.

boom!
With a loud bang, Zhuge Jingang staggered back, his arms hanging down and blood dripping down his arms.

His pupils contracted and a look of disbelief flashed across his face.

Given his physique, ordinary Xuan soldiers might not be able to break through his defense.

Now, with just one move, he was bleeding.

And his arm now even felt a pain as if it was broken.

"Master!"

All I heard was the Red Lotus Envoy shouting in surprise.

Zhuge Jin Gang's eyes fell on the man who had attacked him.

He was a young man in his thirties, and he was looking at an iron whip in his hand with a satisfied look on his face.

The iron whip was stained with blood. (End of this chapter)
