The First Marquis of Daxuan

When everyone's eyes fell on Su Mu, Su Mu stomped his foot.

A loud bang.

The Yin-Yang Cauldron has already soared into the sky.

For an instant.

Countless flames burst forth from the Yin-Yang Cauldron.

call!
The flames turned the entire Yellow Sand Realm into a sea of ​​fire.

The yellow sand that filled the desert was melted by the flames, turning into magma that filled the cracks in the desert.

The Huangsha Boundary, which was on the verge of collapse, immediately stabilized.

This scene made everyone breathe a sigh of relief.

The flames continued to burn.

After an unknown amount of time, all the yellow sand in the entire Yellow Sand Realm disappeared, and both the ground and the sky turned into crystal clear glass.

As everyone gazed upon this crystal world, they marveled, but their faces also betrayed a mixture of astonishment and uncertainty.

Although the collapse of the Yellow Sand Realm has been stopped, it seems that they are trapped in the Yellow Sand Realm again.

The glass refined by the flames within the Yin-Yang Cauldron is indestructible; they had personally tested this before.

Now the whole world is enveloped in glass, and they are like insects in a lake, with nowhere to go.

The crisis remains unresolved.

On the contrary, it now seems that it is more difficult for them to escape the desert.

"Su Mu, are you sure you're not mistaken?"

No one dared to speak, but Black Dragon Ao Kun had no scruples and spoke directly, "You've brought this upon yourself."
Why are you still here? How did you manage to turn Huangshajie into such a mess?

How are we supposed to get out of here?

Why go out?

Su Mu said calmly, "Isn't this place good?"

"Good my ass!"

Black Dragon Ao Kun said, "You yourself said this is a prison. If we stay here, we will eventually exhaust the spiritual energy here, and then we will all be doomed."

"I said, you wouldn't be like that bastard Xuanxuan, trying to kill us, would you?"

"If I wanted to kill you, would I need to go through all this trouble?"

Su Mu said irritably.

The tension that had been building up immediately eased.

Yes, if Su Mu wanted to kill them, he wouldn't need to beat around the bush at all.

Even the clone of Master Xuanxuan was brutally killed by him, let alone them.

They couldn't even defeat a clone of the Venerable Xuanxuan.

"If we leave here, where will we find Master Xuanxuan?"

Su Mu said calmly, "Only by staying here will Master Xuanxuan come looking for us."

He wants the Yin-Yang Cauldron and the blood of the Imperial Ancestor; then we must obtain them.

Su Mu looked up at the sky, his expression calm.

Master Xuanxuan is a big problem. If he is allowed to remain hidden in the shadows, I will have to be on guard against him at all times.

Su Mu himself was not afraid, but none of the people around him could defeat Master Xuanxuan.

If Master Xuanxuan were to harm those around him, Su Mu was not confident he could protect them all.

Therefore, Su Mu intends to settle his grudge with Xuanxuan right here.

Huangshajie is a place that can withstand turmoil, making it a suitable place for them to settle their grievances.

Xuanwu's eyes darted around, and he suddenly spoke.

"You want to eliminate Master Xuanxuan here?"

Its expression was serious as it said in a deep voice, "Have you ever considered that Master Xuanxuan might have more than just me and the Twelve Protectors under his command?"

"What do you mean? Xuanwu, what do you know?"

Ao Kun, the Black Dragon, asked, completely bewildered.

It discovered that it couldn't understand what it was saying.

This made it very unhappy.

Master Xuanxuan rolled his eyes and gave Ao Kun a disdainful look.

"You've known Master Xuanxuan for so many years, and you don't know who Master Xuanxuan is?"

Xuanwu sneered, "I suspect that Master Xuanxuan was inspired by the Yin-Yang Cauldron."

It only told half the story.

But the quick-witted one among them immediately understood its meaning.

Not long ago, when Su Mu used the Yin-Yang Cauldron to refine the blood of the Emperor Ancestor, they personally witnessed the phantoms of the Four Divine Beasts.

It was precisely because of the phantom of the Four Divine Beasts that Xuanwu had an epiphany and broke through to the Dao Ancestor Realm on the spot.

Now that Xuanwu has said it, everyone has realized what's going on.

They looked first at the Yin-Yang Cauldron, which was still suspended in the air.

"It's possible that Master Xuanxuan created more than just you; he created all four divine beasts?"

"It's a serious expression on the face of the Bull Protector," he said.

Xuanwu is at the Dao Ancestor Realm. If there really are three other divine beasts, they are also at the Dao Ancestor Realm.

The strength under the command of that Master Xuanxuan will be unbelievably powerful.

No matter how powerful Su Mu is, can he handle so many Dao Ancestor Realm cultivators at the same time?

They subconsciously ignored the Black Dragon Ao Kun and the Black Tortoise.

These two simply performed poorly when fighting against Master Xuanxuan.

Subconsciously, everyone didn't regard them as beings on the same level as Su Mu and Master Xuanxuan.

However, on the other hand, Su Mu and Master Xuanxuan's strength is indeed far beyond that of ordinary Dao Ancestors.

Ordinary Dao Ancestors are not even qualified to be compared with them.

"The Four Divine Beasts should all exist."

Su Mu said calmly.

"Master Xuanxuan designed them to control the Yin-Yang Cauldron."

"If the four divine beasts could gather together, they might actually be able to snatch the Yin-Yang Cauldron from my hands."

The crowd looked at each other in disbelief. How could you say something so terrible in such a calm tone?
That's the Yin-Yang Cauldron!

If it were to be taken back by Master Xuanxuan, wouldn't he be able to greatly increase his strength with it?
Everyone knew that they were now in the same boat as Su Mu, and if Su Mu couldn't defeat Xuanxuan Shangren, then they would all die.

"Senior Su, before Venerable Xuanxuan returns, could you refine the blood of the Emperor Ancestor?"
If you can refine the blood of the Emperor Ancestor, is there any hope of transcending?
Wouldn't killing Master Xuanxuan then be a piece of cake?

"A Dao Saint Realm expert said."

"Senior Su, how much time do you need to refine the blood of the Emperor Ancestor? Although we are weak, we can try our best to buy you some time."

Another Dao Saint Realm expert also spoke up.

They witnessed Su Mu use a wisp of Emperor Ancestor's blood to restore the Black Dragon Ao Kun to the Dao Ancestor Realm.

If even a wisp of the Emperor's blood has such an effect, imagine the effect of a whole drop!

Anyway, Su Mu has the ability to refine the blood of the Emperor Ancestor.

In theory, given enough time, Su Mu would definitely be able to refine and absorb that drop of Emperor Ancestor's blood.

Su Mu already possesses the ability to defeat Xuanxuan Shangren's clone. If he refines the Emperor Ancestor's blood, then even if Xuanxuan Shangren's true body comes, he will surely die.

"Are you all stupid?"

Black Dragon Ao Kun said, "Didn't I already tell you? Su Mu disdains absorbing the blood of the Emperor Ancestor."

What's wrong with those who transcend?
Isn't that something humans can do?

If Su Mu can only transcend by absorbing the blood of the Emperor Ancestor, then wouldn't he always be inferior to that transcendent being?

"Is that what Senior Su is thinking?"

The group exchanged bewildered glances, as Su Mu had not shared his thoughts with them.

But to be fair, what Ao Kun, the Black Dragon, said does seem to make some sense.

A strong person like Su Mu must be very confident deep down.

If it were them, they would never have such a thought.

Being able to transcend is already a great achievement; what more could you ask for?

As for being inferior to the previous transcendent being in the future, what's the big deal?

Everyone looked at Su Mu, thinking that perhaps only someone like Su Mu could have such a strong belief.

Master Xuanxuan has really bitten off more than he can chew this time.

Su Mu didn't even care about the blood of the God Ancestor, but Master Xuanxuan tricked him into coming to the Yellow Sand Realm to use his blood for a sacrifice.

If Master Xuanxuan hadn't provoked Su Mu, Su Mu might not have attacked him.

The current situation is entirely the result of Master Xuanxuan's own actions.

He provoked someone who was not someone to be trifled with.

"Senior Su, if you don't need the blood of the Emperor Ancestor, could you please bestow it upon me?"

The Bull Guardian, one of the Twelve Guardians, suddenly spoke up.

"If I can break through to the Dao Ancestor Realm, then I can help Senior Su deal with Master Xuanxuan."

I swear, no matter what my future cultivation level is, I will always take you, Senior Su, as my leader and obey your every word. If I disobey, may I die a horrible death.

The Bull Protector listened with a serious expression, leaving everyone stunned.

Can you do this?

Why didn't they think of that!
Damn!

Yes, Su Mu doesn't value the blood of the ancestral god, but they do.

If you give them the blood of the Emperor Ancestor, they are willing to serve Su Mu like cattle and horses!
Unfortunately, they reacted too slowly, and Protector Niu beat them to it.

"I can too. If I obtain the blood of the Emperor Ancestor, I am willing to become your lackey, Senior Su!"

A Dao Saint Realm expert spoke loudly.

The other Dao Saint Realm experts also spoke up.

Their promises were all more outrageous than the last.

What does face matter when faced with the blood of the Emperor Ancestor?
As long as Su Mu is willing to give them the blood of the Emperor Ancestor, Su Mu will ask them to do anything!
Su Mu looked at everyone and chuckled to himself.

"Do you really want the blood of the Emperor Ancestor?"

He said it calmly.

"of course."

Protector Niu said in a deep voice, "I'll do anything you ask as long as there's a chance to kill Venerable Xuanxuan."

Without the blood of the Emperor Ancestor, I could never be his match in this lifetime.

Senior Su, I am different from you. I don't have your talent, nor your confidence.

"I don't mind taking shortcuts." "It's not like anyone minds taking shortcuts."

Black Dragon Ao Kun curled his lip and said, "They're no good, let me do it."

I am at the Dao Ancestor Realm. If you give me the blood of the Emperor Ancestor, I will definitely be able to transcend.

"Su Mu, given our friendship, do you trust me or them?"

"Of course I trust you more."

Su Mu said, "However, I cannot give you the blood of the Emperor Ancestor."

"why?"

Black Dragon Ao Kun was puzzled by the tunnel.

"You have already obtained a trace of the Emperor's blood. Any more than that, and your body will not be able to handle it."

Su Mu said, "You are the same. With your physiques, you cannot bear the power of this drop of Emperor Ancestor's blood."

Even if I refine it to the point where I can absorb it, the power within it is still too immense, so immense that even ordinary Dao Ancestors would find it difficult to withstand.

Otherwise, why do you think Master Xuanxuan would spend so much effort on this drop of Emperor Ancestor's blood?

Do you all think you are stronger than Master Xuanxuan?

"I admit I'm not that strong, but I don't value my life."

Protector Niu said solemnly, "Even if I die from the explosion of the Emperor's blood in the end, it's only because I overestimated myself."

But what if I manage to pull through?

"You're not the only one who's willing to risk your life; we can too."

The other Dao Saint Realm experts retorted, unconvinced.

"Not only am I willing to fight to the death, but I am also physically stronger than all of you."

"I am a bull protector," the bull protector said confidently.

It let out a low roar and transformed into its true form as a blue ox, its muscles bulging, exuding a powerful sense of strength.

The other Dao Saint Realm experts all showed expressions of fear.

In terms of physical strength, they might not be able to compare to this bull demon.

"Senior Su, please give me a chance."

"Protector Niu said, cupping his hands in greeting."

"I had some doubts at first."

Su Mu looked at Protector Niu and slowly said, "Now—"

A mocking smile appeared on his lips.

"Xuanxuan, are you going to keep pretending?"

He said slowly.

"Xuanxuan?"

Everyone's expression changed, and they turned to look at Protector Niu.

Bull Protector remained expressionless as he looked at Su Mu.

"Senior Su, what do you mean? I don't understand."

The Ox Protects the Way.

"They really won't shed a tear until they see the coffin."

Su Mu snorted coldly.

He took a step forward and threw a punch.

boom!
A sonic boom echoed through the air, and vortexes suddenly appeared in the sky.

The powerful force instantly enveloped the Bull Protector.

A strong wind blew against everyone's faces, and the others retreated in horror.

Even the other members of the Twelve Protectors retreated several hundred feet away in surprise and uncertainty.

"What do you mean, Senior Su?"

The Rat Protector murmured, "How could Old Ox be Master Xuanxuan?"

The other guardians all shook their heads; they didn't know either.

As Su Mu's fist was about to land on Protector Niu, Protector Rat and the others were filled with inner struggle.

They simply couldn't bear to watch Protector Niu die at Su Mu's hands.

But Su Mu's words just now left them somewhat doubtful.

What if Su Mu is telling the truth?
For a moment, they were torn between the two options.

"What's the use of thinking so much? If Senior Su really wants to kill us, even if we all attack together, it won't change the outcome."

Dragon Protector suddenly said in a deep voice.

"Let's wait and see."

The Dharma protectors reached a consensus and all looked forward.

Just then, the Bull Protector let out a low growl.

boom!
Its two horns thrust forward, striking the vortex.

Amidst a tremendous noise.

The vortex in the air shattered.

The Bull Protector was sent flying back several feet.

Su Mu's attack was also neutralized without a trace.

This scene left everyone wide-eyed.

what's going on?
Did the Bull Guardian block Su Mu's attack?
You should know that even Xuanxuan Shangren's clone couldn't withstand Su Mu's attack before.

Su Mu's punch just now was merciless.

Any one of them would have been seriously injured, if not killed, by that punch.

But the Bull Protector managed to block it unharmed.

At that moment, everyone understood.

This is not the Bull Protector!

The previous Bull Protector definitely didn't have this power!

No one knows when this Bull Protector transformed.

But they knew that Su Mu was right.

This is not the Bull Protector, but the Venerable Master Xuanxuan!

"Xuanxuan! What have you done to the old ox? Get out of its body right now!"

The Rat Guardian and other guardians roared angrily.

Three of their brothers have already died, and now even the Bull Protector is going to die at Xuanxuan's hands?

They desperately wanted to pounce on Master Xuanxuan and fight him to the death, but they dared not.

They didn't know what state Master Xuanxuan was in, and they were worried that acting rashly would harm the Bull Protector.

Bull Protector slowly straightened up, and his demeanor suddenly changed.

The once honest, simple, and somewhat shrewd Bull Protector suddenly became domineering.

Even if no one says it, everyone can tell that this is Master Xuanxuan.

Although it still looks like the Bull Protector, its aura is exactly the same as that of the previous clone of Master Xuanxuan.

In an instant, everyone, including the other members of the Twelve Guardians and Xuanwu, instinctively took a step back.

Their eyes were filled with terror.

What kind of tactic is this?
Master Xuanxuan was actually able to possess the body of Protector Niu!

If he can possess the body of the Bull Protector, then can't he also possess their bodies?

Those who had a past relationship with Master Xuanxuan are very likely to end up like Protector Niu.

"I was still a little too hasty."

Protector Niu, or rather, Master Xuanxuan, shook his head and sighed.

"I didn't expect you to be so careful. I was just a little impatient, and you saw through my mistake."

"If I had known this would happen, I should have been more patient and waited until you refined and purified the Emperor's blood before making my move."

It looked somewhat annoyed.

"Xuanxuan, you really have some good methods."

Su Mu said with a hint of admiration, "To be honest, although I'm sure you've controlled Protector Niu's body, even if I saw it with my own eyes, I still can't see any flaws."

If you hadn't exposed yourself, your disguise would indeed have been flawless.

"So what if you find out about me?"

The Bull Protector smiled meaningfully, "I can give up this body at any time. You never know who I'll control next."

Unless you kill everyone here, otherwise—"

Protector Niu sneered twice.

Everyone turned deathly pale.

Everyone retreated in fear, distancing themselves from Master Xuanxuan and Su Mu.

Even though they knew that Master Xuanxuan was sowing discord, they still couldn't control their fear.

With such methods at his disposal, does Su Mu really intend to kill them all?

"Xuanxuan, all your scheming is nothing more than for the blood of the Emperor Ancestor."

Su Mu said calmly, "Why don't we have a talk?"

"Are you willing to give me the blood of the Imperial Ancestor?"

Master Xuanxuan said.

You regard it as a treasure, but I only see it as a burden.

Su Mu said calmly, "If I can use it to exchange for something I need, why not?"

Xuanxuan, there was never any irreconcilable grudge between us.

What do you want?

Master Xuanxuan said with some caution.

"It's not about what I want, it's about what you can give me."

Su Mu shook his head and said calmly, "Since we're talking, shouldn't you first express your sincerity?"

After all, I was brought here by you out of the blue, shouldn't you give me an explanation?

"It was indeed my fault."

Master Xuanxuan was silent for a moment, then slowly said, "I originally only wanted to lure Ao Kun and Xuanwu here; you were an accident."

But since it has already happened, I won't make any excuses.

Since you don't value the blood of the Imperial Ancestor, how about I give you a transcendent treasure instead? (End of Chapter)
