Starting with the Magic Absorption Technique: I swept through the fantasy world.

Wang Mu, who was already feeling a bit overwhelmed, panicked even more and quickly helped Bai Suzi up.

"Bai Suzi, what are you doing?"

"When you said you were from the Linghai Sect, I didn't realize it at first. But when this young lady said you were the Emperor, I realized it. You are actually Wang Mu, the Emperor of the Linghai Sect."

Bai Suzi replied with utmost respect.

“My master has a long-standing relationship with the Linghai Sect. Moreover, I have heard a great deal about your deeds.”

Bai Suzi addressed Wang Mu with utmost respect, calling him "junior" and "you" repeatedly, instantly elevating him to a very high position.

Since everything was out in the open, Bai He, as the leader, although he had never heard of Wang Mu or any such person, still went back and told the city lord of Fenggui City and the other six leaders everything he had seen and heard in the teahouse.

He didn't tell anyone else about his matchmaking.

Even bigger trouble awaits Wang Mu.

Ding!Ding!Ding!

This is to announce to everyone that the selection of the city lord has officially begun.

The group stopped chatting and headed to the square.

The square was already packed with people, making the registration day seem like a small spectacle in comparison.

Feng Ji couldn't stay by Wang Mu's side because, as a distinguished guest of Feng Gui City, he was required to sit in the high VIP seat.

Wang Mu's opponent is none other than Jiu Li Xiang's older sister, An Xi Xiang.

When the rankings were first announced, Anxi Xiang's eyes were practically blazing with fury, showing that she was determined to take revenge on Wang Mu.

However, her personality changed drastically. She became extremely respectful to Wang Mu, and even pretended to have been injured by Wang Mu's internal force within two moves before admitting defeat.

This made Wang Mu feel uneasy, realizing that his identity must have been leaked by the Bai family.

Just because the Bai family father and son didn't know about him didn't mean that others didn't know, especially the city lord of Fenggui City.

The battles of the others were fierce and intense, while Bai Suzi's side was a complete disaster.

No matter what harsh words they had uttered beforehand, everyone changed their demeanor drastically before going on stage, and they all went easy on Wang Mu, both openly and secretly.

Wang Mu could easily see that he had been forced to participate in the selection process and was only there to watch the excitement. Now, with all this commotion, he had completely lost interest.

He rushed in front of his opponent in one step, before the opponent could dodge.

"Bai Xuan Yue," Wang Mu thought to himself.

Suddenly, sand and stones flew everywhere, and Wang Mu coughed up blood and collapsed.

"Young hero, your skills are truly remarkable. I humbly admit defeat."

Although the onlookers were puzzled, they simply assumed that Wang Mu's opponent was truly skilled.

On the high platform, the city lord, his face dark, glared at the white crane beside him, who was trembling with fear and constantly rubbing its hands.

Shui Weng raised an eyebrow and said coldly, "This is the Emperor of the Spirit Sea Sect?"

"This, this, this shouldn't be the case. Princess Fengji clearly addressed this person as the Emperor, and he himself said he was from the Linghai Sect," Bai Hebian explained in a panic.

"Alright, regardless of whether Wang Mu is hiding his strength or not, it's clear we can't keep him here. Let's not dwell on it anymore and think of another way," the city lord said.

“Hmm, I think we should keep an eye on that guy named Bai Suzi,” Fu Ling said, glancing at Bai He and raising the corners of her mouth.

Although the seven leaders in Fenggui City all serve the city lord, they each have their own selfish motives.

Fu Ling had someone keep an eye on things early in the morning.

"Bai Suzi? What's your opinion?" Shui Weng had never paid attention to this person before, so he was a little curious.

"He's a demon." The incense stick, which had originally intended to give Wang Mu a good beating today, sang loudly.

After all, if Fuling hadn't intended to win over Wang Mu, and hadn't used the city lord's name to speak up, telling her daughter to treat Wang Mu with courtesy, then her behavior would have been inappropriate.

Now that he saw Wang Mu vomiting blood first, he was furious and immediately retorted when he spoke to Fu Ling.

Although there were many participants, the competition proceeded very quickly, and the top ten were about to be determined.

"Hmm? Bai Suzi?"

Wang Mu saw Bai Suzi's helpless expression as he was announced as one of the top ten, and thought to himself.

"After seeing Bai Suzi become me."

With Wang Mu as a precedent, when opponents faced Bai Suzi, they would immediately pretend to be knocked down by some kind of qigong as soon as they stepped onto the stage. Some of them even fell off the stage while putting on a great show.

It's not hard to see that while there are experts in Feng Gui City, they are few in number, and among all the participants in the selection, there are no particularly strong ones. Of course, this doesn't mean they are comparable to Wang Mu himself; they are merely comparing themselves to ordinary people.

Wang Mu planned to lend Bai Suzi a hand.

When Bai Suzi and his opponent went on stage, Wang Mu transmitted a message to Bai Suzi.

"Bai Suzi, it's me, Wang Mu."

Bai Suzi, who was climbing the stairs, suddenly looked around, but Wang Mu was too small to be found.

Wang Mu continued, "If you don't want to win now, immediately twist your ankle, fall off the stage, and pretend to faint."

A look of gratitude flashed across Bai Suzi's eyes. As he climbed the last step, his foot slipped, he closed his eyes tightly, and fell backward, pretending to faint.

On the high platform, the teacup in the city lord's hand snapped with a crack, ending his life.

Bai Suzi, as a "wounded patient," was carried to Wang Mu's side, who was also a "wounded patient."

After the group put the items down, Bai Suzi left.

Wang Mu then nudged Bai Suzi, "Hey, wake up, stop pretending."

Bai Suzi squinted and looked around. "Emperor, are you also trying to slip up and admit defeat?"

Bai Suzi was certain of Wang Mu's strength; no one here could touch a hair on Wang Mu's head.

“Alas, the people in this city are really strange; it’s inevitable that we should be wary,” Wang Mu told Bai Suzi, expressing his concerns.

Bai Suzi agreed, "Indeed, it's a bit strange."

Bai Suzi, recalling the matter of Taotie, asked, "By the way, Your Majesty, do you know Taotie's whereabouts?"

Wang Mu scratched his head somewhat embarrassedly, "To be honest, of the four ferocious beasts, I have already subdued two of them."

Upon hearing this, Bai Suzi sat up abruptly.

"Two ferocious beasts? Which two?"

Wang Mu waved his hand, signaling Bai Suzi to calm down.

"Taotie and Qiongqi".

"I was almost able to catch Taotie that night, but he was scared away by Taotie and Qiongqi, and he probably won't be back for a while."

After hearing this, Bai Suzi looked at Wang Mu with much more respect.

Seeing Bai Suzi's fanboy-like expression, Wang Mu was overjoyed, but the occasion was inappropriate.

You can only change the topic.

"I still don't know how Taotie escaped from you."

The light in Bai Suzi's eyes dimmed considerably.

"It's a long story, let me tell you slowly, Your Majesty."

Back then, it was Master Wang Buluoxing and Bai Suzi who guarded the tower. Before the Lunar New Year, after Master Wang Buluoxing passed away, only Bai Suzi guarded the tower.

The tower that Bai Suzi guarded was a wooden tower.

The wooden pagoda appears to have seven stories from the outside, but only five stories inside, where the Taotie was suppressed.

Bai Suzi's daily job was cleaning, since the seal that suppressed Taotie had never been loosened and no one had ever come to rescue it.
