The First Marquis of Daxuan

Su Mu's voice echoed over Hulao Pass.

There was almost no other sound in the city.

If anyone makes any other sound at this time, they will be glared at by people around them.

Regardless of whether they could understand it or not, no one wanted to miss Su Mu’s lecture.

Even Emperor Xuan was sitting in the study at this moment, listening to the sounds coming from outside.

Although he didn't like Su Mu, he had to admit that Su Mu was indeed the most talented young man he had ever seen.

In comparison, Madam Yuan and the Master of the Divine Weapon Pavilion, Wang Huomin, are really living like dogs at their old age!

Wang Huomin, who was criticized by Emperor Xuan, was now sitting upright under the city wall like a primary school student, listening attentively to Su Mu's lecture.

Having been insulted by Su Mu before, he was filled with anger.

But since Su Mu started to talk about the method of forging the magic weapon, the anger in Wang Huomin's heart had disappeared.

Others may not understand Su Mu’s method of casting weapons, but Wang Huomin is an expert.

The Tiangong Weapon Refining Method is the secret method of the Divine Weapon Pavilion, and Wang Huomin has been trying to comprehend it.

It's just that due to his limited qualifications, he has never been able to comprehend it clearly.

Now that Su Mu had given him some pointers, he now understood many of the things he had been unable to understand.

He now respects Su Mu as a god!

…………

While everyone's attention was drawn to Su Mu, Li Tingkui and a few others sneaked into Emperor Xuan's palace.

Li Tingkui carefully pushed open a door and met a pair of eyes.

His heart suddenly rose to his throat and he subconsciously wanted to take action.

This is Emperor Xuan's palace. Once the guards are alerted, at least two powerful men in the fusion realm will come to kill us.

By then they will surely die!
Never let the other party make any sound!
This was the only thought in Li Tingkui's mind.

He made a lightning-fast move and grabbed the other person.

"Don't do it, we're one team!"

Seeing that Li Tingkui's palm was about to fall on the other person's neck, the other person shouted in a low voice.

Snapped!
Li Tingkui's hand stayed on the other's neck, murderous intent flashing in his eyes.

"I am Dongfang Liuyun!"

The other party whispered.

Li Tingkui loosened his grip and the murderous intent in his eyes gradually faded.

"Commander Li? Are you here to fish in troubled waters as well?"

A head popped out from behind Dongfang Liuyun. It was Shi Binbin.

He recognized Li Tingkui and whispered, "You came just in time. We can talk later. Now let's get started together and take as much as we can!"

He looked like a sneaky thief.

Li Tingkui was stunned for a moment.

Weird.

"These things are not important. I suspect that the two marquises are detained here. Find them quickly!"

Li Tingkui said in a deep voice, and no longer paid attention to the two of them and continued searching.

Dongfang Liuyun and Shi Binbin looked at each other and their expressions became solemn.

Originally, the two of them just wanted to sneak into the palace during the chaos and make a fortune.

Anyway, they have always disliked Emperor Xuan.

They really didn't expect that the two marquises would be detained in the palace.

Ripples appeared in Dongfang Liuyun's eyes, and he raised his head and looked forward.

After looking around, he raised his hand and pointed in a direction.

"There's something unusual here!"

Dongfang Liuyun whispered.

…………

The sky gradually turned white.

A red sun slowly rose.

"That's it."

Su Mu said loudly, "Although there are still some things that I haven't explained clearly, there is no time.

If Su can come back by chance, I will answer your questions then."

"Master Su, you are leaving the city to conquer the demon court, right?"

Suddenly, a voice came from the top of the city.

"Exactly."

Su Mu said.

"I am only at the True Yuan Realm. I wonder if I am qualified enough to accompany you, Lord Su, on the expedition?"

The man said loudly.

"A person in the True Yuan Realm is already a powerful person, so he is naturally qualified."

Su Mu said, "But I don't have enough food and can't give you an official identity."

"I bring my own food!"

The man said loudly, "I don't need the status of the court either. I just want to follow you, Lord Su, and kill more monsters."

"I am coming too!"

"Kill the monsters, count me in!"

"Lord Su has even made public the method of forging a divine weapon for the sake of Daxuan. I have nothing else but this life! Let's go together!"

"Let's go together!"

People in the crowd kept standing up, waving their arms and shouting.

Wang Huomin, the leader of the Divine Weapon Pavilion, was silent for a while, then he slowly stood up. Although he did not speak, the expression on his face clearly showed that he had made some kind of decision.

Looking at the excited crowd, Su Mu felt warm in his heart.

This world is disappointing, but there are some people who make this world still hopeful.

This Great Xuan is not the Great Xuan of Emperor Xuan, but the Great Xuan of all people in the world.

Zaza.

The sound of wheels sounded.

In one place, grain carts appeared one after another.

Tao Wansan actually raised food and fodder worth one million taels of gold overnight!
The carts stretched for miles and there was almost no end in sight.

I don’t know how Tao Wansan did it.

He came to Su Mu and bowed, saying, "I have brought the food and fodder. Sir Su, can you give me the Thunder Sword?"

"then!"

Su Mu threw the thunder over casually.

Tao Wansan grabbed it and a look of excitement appeared on his face.

"Thank you."

Tao Wansan said excitedly, "The food and fodder are outside the city. It is up to you, Lord Su, to escort them. Goodbye!"

After saying this, he hurried down the city.

Inside and outside the city, at least dozens of figures chased after him.

Su Mu didn't care much about it.

Just to deliver the grain and fodder worth three million taels of gold, Tao Wansan mobilized tens of thousands of men and thousands of carts.

When a large army goes out to war, food and fodder are always a big problem.

To supply an army of 10,000, it would require almost the same number of men to escort the food and fodder.

Su Mu simply doesn't have so many people now.

If the soldiers were allowed to carry their own food and fodder, it would inevitably affect their march, and it would be even more difficult to react if they were attacked.

Tao Wansan directly threw the difficult problem to Su Mu.

I brought the food and fodder. If you can't take it away, that's your problem.

If it is placed in Hulao Pass, it will become Hulao Pass's property.

Emperor Xuan is now in charge of Hulao Pass. Everything in Hulao Pass belongs to Emperor Xuan.

In and out, it was equivalent to Emperor Xuan getting the Thunder Sword in his hands without paying anything.

A sneer appeared on Su Mu's face.

Do you think that he won’t be able to take the food away this way?

The storage ring on him is not just for decoration.

Not long after Tao Wansan left, a team of fully armed soldiers walked up to the top of the city wall in the sunlight.

They came straight to Su Mu.

The one walking in front was none other than General Hong Yutian of the Shenlong Army.

He held an imperial edict in his hand and said expressionlessly, "General Su, the time has come. The army has been assembled. You should set off."

Hong Yutian is a powerful person in the fusion realm.

Such a strong man actually did errands.

Su Mu sneered in his heart. Is Emperor Xuan worried that he will go back on his word?

"Where are the 10,000 troops your majesty mentioned?"

Su Mu took the imperial edict and said lightly.

"There are 10,000 troops stationed outside the city. I will take you there."

Hong Yutian said. "Okay, I have some companions waiting outside the city, call them and go to the military camp together."

Su Mu said.

"Sir Su, His Majesty's order is to go to the military camp now and march out immediately."

Hong Yutian said coldly.

Su Mu looked at him and didn't speak for a long time.

"Military orders are as heavy as a mountain. If you delay, Lord Su should know the consequences."

Hong Yutian said coldly, "Master Su, please."

A head popped out from the top of the city wall again.

But it was Shi Binbin.

Shi Binbin made a gesture to Su Mu.

Su Mu nodded slightly, looked at Hong Yutian, and said slowly, "Lead the way."

…………

There is indeed a military camp thirty miles away from Hulao Pass.

Walking into the military camp and seeing the 10,000 soldiers in the camp, a look of surprise flashed across Su Mu's face.

When Emperor Xuan said he would give him 10,000 elite soldiers, Su Mu thought he was talking nonsense.

He originally thought that Emperor Xuan would send some old, weak and sick people to him.

After all, Emperor Xuan let him out of seclusion to die, not to really let him achieve great things.

But now it is different from what Su Mu thought.

There are actually 10,000 elite soldiers in this military camp.

These well-equipped elite soldiers seem to be no worse than the Shenwu Army that attacked Huju Pass.

Emperor Xuan was actually willing to give him such an army?

"This is Su Mu. From now on, he will serve as the recruiting envoy and lead you to conquer the demon court. You must obey his orders. Do you understand?"

Hong Yutian spoke, his voice spreading throughout the venue.

"Order!"

Ten thousand elite soldiers shouted in unison, and their shouts broke through the sky.

Su Mu's heart moved slightly, and he seemed to understand something.

"Bring the camp and march!"

Hong Yutian shouted loudly.

"General Hong."

Su Mu said expressionlessly.

His voice was not loud, but he easily suppressed all the noises on the field.

"Master Su, do you have any other questions?"

Hong Yutian turned his head and said.

"The commander of this army, is it you or me?"

Su Mu said slowly.

"Of course it's you."

Hong Yutian frowned slightly.

"Since it's me, just give way."

Su Mu said calmly, "This is my military camp. It's not your turn to give orders."

The expression on Hong Yutian's face froze, and a hint of anger flashed in his eyes.

This kid named Su is still so arrogant even when he is about to die.

Hong Yutian snorted coldly and said nothing.

Su Mu's eyes swept across the ten thousand soldiers, and he saw a hint of anger on their faces.

I was confronting Hong Yutian, but they felt the same way?

Yes.

These 10,000 elite soldiers are probably Hong Yutian's men.

They are not here to follow me to fight against the Demon Court.

After we get out of the pass and reach a deserted place, these ten thousand elite soldiers will turn into executioners and take our lives.

Daxuan's military formation can even resist strong men in the fusion realm.

Killing Su Mu, a mere Nascent Soul Realm resident, wouldn't that be easy?

Su Mu estimated that Hong Yutian would also accompany them secretly.

A powerful person in the fusion realm, plus ten thousand elite soldiers.

No matter how you look at it, Su Mu is dead.

Su Mu sneered in his heart.

In order to kill himself, Emperor Xuan was really deliberate.

"Generals, obey the order!"

Su Mu took a step forward and spoke slowly.

"Move camp, pass through the pass, and march 70 miles northwest. Arrive before sunset. No mistakes!"

Those soldiers subconsciously turned their eyes to Hong Yutian.

Hong Yutian nodded imperceptibly.

"Order!"

Then the soldiers responded loudly.

Naturally, Su Mu could not hide these little actions.

But Su Mu didn't care.

"General Hong, Su will leave for the battle soon. Please go back and tell His Majesty to wait for my good news.

I am busy with military affairs, so I won't keep you here. Please go."

Say it.

Su Mu walked straight out of the military camp.

Outside the military camp, two or three hundred people were waiting there.

They were the warriors who wanted to follow Su Mu out of seclusion.

These warriors come from all over the world, have different identities, and have different levels of cultivation.

Those with high cultivation levels are at the True Essence Realm, while those with low levels are only at the Body Tempering Realm.

Everyone looked at Su Mu with fanaticism.

"Master Su, what are we going to do?"

A warrior shouted that he was the first person who wanted to follow Su Mu.

"To be honest with you, Master Su, I am also a weaponsmith, but I could only forge ordinary weapons before. After listening to your explanation this time, I think I can already forge mysterious weapons!"

The method of forging weapons can be found either in the Divine Weapon Pavilion or in the Taiping Division. It is almost impossible for casual cultivators like them to learn the advanced method of forging weapons.

Only Su Mu did not care about their backgrounds and qualifications, and told them all the methods of forging magic weapons.

What kind of mind is this?

They are willing to die for such a person because they know that Su Mu will never let them suffer.

"The army does not move, but the food and fodder must go first."

Su Mu smiled and said, "You go outside the city and meet up with Dongfang Liuyun, and first take inventory of the food and grass sent by Tao Wansan."

"Escorting food?"

Those warriors were a little stunned.

"Sir Su, it's not that we think escorting grain is ineffective, but we can actually play a greater role."

The warriors spoke one after another.

"Believe me, you will definitely be useful."

Su Mu said seriously, "Food and grass are very important to me. Everyone, please."

He clasped his hands together and bowed.

The warriors' faces turned serious and they all clasped their fists in return.

Hong Yutian saw this scene and sneered in his heart.

How can these two or three hundred people change anything?
These people have no regard for the imperial court. They gather in a crowd and cause chaos. They all deserve to be killed!

Do you still want to take those food supplies away?

You're dreaming. Those food and fodder are just for you to see.

How much food and fodder can these hundreds of people take away?
Hong Yutian had a look of disdain on his face. Seeing those warriors leave, he did not stay any longer and left with a few of his men.

It seems that he has left, but in fact he will follow the team secretly, and when they reach the right place, he will personally send Su Mu and others on their way.

…………

Su Mu noticed Hong Yutian's departure and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth.

I wonder if Emperor Xuan would feel sad if Hong Yutian died.

It is not so easy to train a strong person in the fusion realm.

With Madam Yuan and Hong Yutian, he wanted to see when Emperor Xuan would feel the pain and fear.

"It's not that easy to kill a fusion realm master, but Shi Binbin and the others rescued Chen Beixuan. If Chen Beixuan takes action, Hong Yutian will have a hard time surviving."

Su Mu thought of the news that Shi Binbin had sent from the top of the city wall, and said to himself.

Emperor Xuan wanted to kill him in the wilderness, and he also wanted to cut off one of Emperor Xuan's arms in the wilderness.

Let's see who has the better skills. (End of this chapter)
