My wife is a practitioner, I am invincible when I lie down

Zhao Mu was very surprised to hear that Jiang Muyao was assassinated and seriously injured by the Tiansha Sect.

Jiang Muyao was his chosen wife, and although he had not met her yet, the assassination of his future wife was no small matter, not to mention that it was done by the Tiansha Sect, so he could not just sit back and watch.

But judging from Jiang Yun's tone, the backers behind Tianshamen seemed to be very powerful, so powerful that even the Jiang family, the first imperial family in the Southern Region, could do nothing about it.

"Could it be the three major dynasties in Zhongzhou?" Zhao Mu suddenly said.

Jiang Yun's expression tightened, and he lowered his voice and said, "Although there is no evidence, your guess is likely correct."

Zhao Mu knew very little about the three top dynasties in Shengxuan Continent.

Su Qianqian should know some information, but Zhao Mu was not interested in it before, so he didn't ask much.

It seems that after I go back this time, I have to understand the overall structure of the Holy Xuan Continent.

"Let's not talk about this for now. We still have to go find Huiguang Grass. Thank you, Mr. Zhao, for your generosity this time. Once the crisis of the Jiang family is resolved, we will definitely pay you a visit in person to express our gratitude."

Jiang Yun and Jiang Peng bowed to Zhao Mu, then flew away without stopping.

He ran pretty fast.

It seems that Jiang Muyao's condition is very critical.

"We have to hurry up." Zhao Mu said seriously. If the Jiang family couldn't save Jiang Muyao, Zhao Mu would have to think of a way himself.

I can't just watch my future daughter-in-law die of poisoning.

Su Zeyu said, "Mr. Zhao, during the battle just now, I vaguely felt the fluctuations of the curse power. I can roughly determine the source of the curse based on the direction of the curse fluctuations..."

At this point, Su Zeyu's expression became somewhat embarrassed. "Originally, the Su family was deeply grateful to Mr. Zhao for escorting us here, and we dare not trouble you any further. But now that things have come to this, I'm afraid that with our Su family's strength, we can't handle the next danger. I would like to hire Mr. Su to continue escorting us until the curse is lifted."

"Of course, the Su family cannot treat their benefactor unfairly. As long as this trip can resolve the Su family's crisis, I am willing to swear an oath. From now on, the Su family will exist as a subsidiary family of the Zhao family. The children of the Su family will respect the Zhao family for generations!"

When these words were spoken, not only Zhao Mu marveled at Su Zeyu's courage, but the other members of the Su family were dumbfounded and stunned.

"Great Elder..."

"This is horrible and inappropriate..."

"Grand Elder, please think twice!"

After all, the Su family is an imperial family that has been passed down for thousands of years. To become a vassal of others would be a disgrace to our ancestors.

Su Zeyu turned around and said in an unquestionable tone: "If it weren't for Master Zhao's rescue, the Su family would have become a den of demons when we were in the Su family's royal city. Each of you would have become a puppet of the demons. Your lives were saved by Master Zhao. Not to mention clinging to the Zhao family, even if you were to be slaves in the Zhao family, it would be only natural!"

"I have made up my mind on this matter. You don't need to say anything more. If you have any objections, go back and pack your things, leave the Su family, and find another way out."

Seeing Su Zeyu's firm attitude, all the Su family members lowered their heads silently and dared not raise any objections.

Zhao Mu chuckled, "Elder Su is a man of understanding. Since you've shown such sincerity, I certainly can't sit idly by. Let's go. I'll do my best to protect the safety of your Su family on the rest of the journey."

Zhao Mu naturally welcomed the opportunity to incorporate the Su family into the Zhao family.

If a family wants to prosper, a large family is an indispensable condition.

Although the Zhao family has a large population, there is still a considerable gap compared to other imperial families.

The lack of population will limit the Zhao family's future development potential.

But if the Su family is absorbed, the situation will be greatly improved.

According to Zhao Mu's understanding, many of the men in the Zhao family have not yet started a family.

Wouldn't it be wonderful to introduce a group of outstanding women from the Su family and start an exciting campaign to expand the family?

As long as the base number is large, some children with superior talents will always be born.

In this way, the Zhao family's situation of lack of successors can be greatly improved.

As for whether absorbing the Su family will have an impact on the stability of the Zhao family, there is no need to worry about it.

In this world where the strongest fist is the truth, as long as Zhao Mu is there, the Su family will not dare to have any disloyalty.

After reaching a consensus, the team set off again.

This time it was Su Zeyu's turn to lead the way.

Zhao Mu took out the bottle containing the earth spirit fire and began to study it.

He suddenly had an idea and asked Huang Xi beside him, "The martial arts you practice should all be fire-attributed, right?"

The Phoenix clan itself has the fire attribute. Huang Xi's Nirvana Holy Body comes with the Nirvana Fire. Her fighting and life-saving martial arts are also full of vitality. If she is allowed to practice this Earth Spirit True Fire, I think it should be very worthwhile to invest.

Huang Xi didn't understand why Zhao Mu suddenly brought this up, so she nodded and said, "My family's lineage is descended from the Phoenix Clan's Suzaku bloodline, which later merged with the human bloodline. Although the bloodline has gradually become impure, the Suzaku True Fire flowing in it still burns endlessly and has never been extinguished. The Nirvana Saint Body I awakened is even more pure Suzaku True Fire. With my physique, I can achieve twice the result with half the effort when practicing any fire-attributed martial arts."

"Okay, then I'll give you this bottle of Earth Spirit Fire. Use it to refine it, and you'll be able to comprehend the Emperor-level martial art, Earth Spirit True Fire."

Zhao Mu casually handed the bottle to Huang Xi.

Huang Xi felt the surging and exciting flame power in the bottle, and was unable to react for a moment.

"This...this...is this the Earth Spirit Fire? Oh my god, I've only seen it mentioned in books, I never thought I'd actually see it with my own eyes today."

Huang Xi was completely shocked.

This is an imperial-level fire. In terms of the level of fire, it is even one level higher than the Suzaku True Fire that is passed down in the bloodline of their Phoenix Imperial Clan.

"Husband, is this really for me?"

"I...thank you so much!"

Huang Xi's body began to tremble with excitement.

She could fully foresee to what extent her strength would be improved after practicing the Earth Spirit True Fire.

"It's okay to say thank you with your mouth, but you have to say it in the right place." Zhao Mu said with a wicked smile.

Huang Xi's pretty face flushed slightly, and she subconsciously pursed her lips and said, "Let's talk about it when we get home..."

Ok?

She didn't refuse, it looks like there's a chance.

At the same time, the system prompt sounded in Zhao Mu's mind.

"Ding! Your investment in my beloved wife's Earth Spirit Fire triggers a 100-fold return on investment, granting you the Imperial-grade martial skill [Burning Divine Fire]."

In an instant, a burst of hot energy surged throughout Zhao Mu's body.

He learned a new martial art in an instant.

"Burning Divine Fire: A ninth-grade Imperial martial skill. It consumes spirit essence, transforming it into flames capable of burning everything. This can be released alone or integrated into other attacks. Due to the unique refining properties of the Burning Divine Fire, it is even more effective when used to smelt ores and forge magical weapons. It is the flame coveted by all weapon-refining masters."
