The First Marquis of Daxuan

"Go? Do you think we can leave?"

Su Mu's gaze swept over the crowd, and he slowly said, "Even if you leave here, do you think you won't encounter them again on the Heavenly Road?"

Su Mu looked up at the sky, his eyes becoming incredibly deep.

The experts at the Primordial Beginning Realm looked at each other in bewilderment.

Who exactly are they?

Zhao Baiqi murmured.

To be able to destroy a world and drive a mid-stage Primordial Realm expert insane, the opponent's strength must be extraordinary.

Such a powerful being would not, in theory, commit acts of world destruction without a reason.

But why did they want to annihilate the world of Mars?

They had traveled all this way without ever having heard of these people.

"Sect Master Su, do you mean that these people might be active on the Heavenly Road?"

"We might run into them sooner or later?"

Huo Tu was straightforward and asked directly.

"Do you think a group of top-tier experts would want to slaughter the entire Yinghuo world for no reason?"

Su Mu said calmly, "What benefit could they possibly gain from doing this?"

All the experts at the Primordial Beginning Realm remained silent.

They just can't understand these things.

Could it be—

A terrible thought popped into Zhao Baiqi's mind.

"Could they be trying to stop us from reaching the heavens?"
If they wipe out all the supply points on the Sky Road, we won't get a chance to rest and will ultimately die at the hands of the Void Beasts.

Upon hearing Zhao Baiqi's words, everyone's faces showed expressions of horror.

"No, no."

One of the experts at the Primordial Beginning Realm said, "Since they have such strength, it would be very easy for them to stop us."

They can just attack us directly.

Wouldn't it be simpler to kill us?

All the experts at the Primordial Beginning Realm nodded in agreement.

"Killing us is easy, but what about a powerful figure like Sect Master Su?"

Zhao Baiqi said, "We are not the only ones who have embarked on the path to heaven."

There are also prodigies who set off from other places.

Who can guarantee that there aren't any high-level Primordial Realm experts among these prodigies?

They can kill us, but they might not be able to kill a high-level Primordial Realm being.

"Even high-level beings in the Primordial Realm don't rely on supply points this much."

Another expert at the Primordial Beginning Realm raised a question.

"Not that big, but not completely nonexistent either."

Zhao Baiqi said, "They can tire out these strong individuals first, and then launch an attack."

"That's just your guess. Even if it were true, where did these people come from?"
What is their purpose in doing all this?

The crowd said.

"How would I know?" Zhao Baiqi said, spreading his hands.

He was just guessing.

He doesn't even know who those people are, so how can he explain these issues?

"The most urgent task is to find out who the other party is."

Everyone's gazes instinctively fell on Su Mu, who then spoke calmly.

The experts at the Primordial Beginning Realm were completely at a loss as to what to do, and they were about to ask for help.

Su Mu suddenly slapped the madman on the forehead.

boom!
A shockwave emanated from the madman and spread outwards.

The madman's eyes widened suddenly, and the bloodshot color in his pupils vanished instantly.

suddenly.

The madman roared, and streams of blood mist suddenly gushed from his pores.

He let out a suppressed growl, and two streams of hot tears flowed down his cheeks.

"woke up?"

Su Mu said calmly.

"Now that you're awake, let's cheer up."

Tears cannot bring your loved ones back to life.

Su Mu said, "The only thing you can do now is to avenge them and let them rest in peace in the afterlife."

"revenge?"

The madman muttered to himself, "Revenge!"

He suddenly raised his head and looked at Su Mu with a sharp gaze.

"Who are you? Why have you come to Yinghuo?"

"Don't you have any manners? Do you know who saved you?"

Huo Tu shouted.

The madman narrowed his eyes, not even glancing at Huo Tu, but staring intently at Su Mu, his gaze finally settling on the long sword in Su Mu's hand.

"Since you have gained Jinghong's approval, you must not be one of those people."

He said in a deep voice, "No matter where you come from or what you've come to Yinghuo for, I advise you to leave now."

If you leave now, and act quickly enough, you might still be able to avoid them.

If you leave too late, you will all die.

"Who are you trying to scare?"

Do you really think we're easily scared?

Huo Tu said disdainfully, "Those people may be able to wipe out Yinghuo, but they may not be able to kill us."

Even if they really are that strong, do you think we're afraid of dying?

A true man, even in death, will face the heavens; if he lives, he will live forever.

Even if they return, I'll take this opportunity to see what they're made of!

The madman couldn't help but glance at him.

"Not being afraid of death doesn't mean you won't die."

"In my world, not a single person is afraid of death!"

The madman said coldly, "You still dare to say such things because you haven't seen just how terrifying they really are."

"I don't know how terrible they are."

Su Mu said, "But I'd like to know, who are they, and how much do you know about them?"

Since this madman recognizes the knife in his hand, he must also recognize its owner.

The knife's owners all died at the hands of those people, yet this madman survived.

I don't know if the madman ever actually fought those people.

"them--"

The madman fell silent.

After a long silence, he slowly spoke.

"If you can help me regain my senses, then your cultivation level should have reached the high stage of the Primordial Beginning Realm."

"You're at the high level of the Primordial Realm, and you've appeared in Yinghuo again. You must be adventuring on the Heavenly Path."

The madman said, "You've probably already been targeted by them."

Zhao Baiqi and the others exchanged glances, their hearts sinking.

It seems Zhao Baiqi guessed correctly.

Those mysterious powerful figures really were trying to prevent humans from reaching the Celestial Realm!
"Trying to target me?"

Su Mu remained calm and showed no fear.

Who are they? What is their background?

"Those people called themselves Huang Tiandao."

The madman took a deep breath and said, "They say that this heavenly path should not exist in the first place, so they want to eliminate it."

As for those delusional people who embark on the path to heaven, they too will die.

You were lucky you didn't run into them.

I urge you to turn back the way you came.

"Huang Tiandao?"

Su Mu's face showed a thoughtful expression as he pondered.

Do you know their background?

The madman shook his head. "I don't know. They suddenly came to Yinghuo and then started a massacre."

I was already dead, but the cultivation method I practiced was somewhat special, giving me a chance to be resurrected.

But after being resurrected, the person will be overwhelmed by the emotions they had before dying, and will completely turn into a madman.

Unless someone can awaken me, I will live on for the sake of my dying wish.

Only then did the madman cup his hands in thanks to Su Mu.

Zhao Baiqi, Huo Tu, and the others were both amused and exasperated. This was an immense favor, akin to being reborn, and the other party had simply brushed it off so lightly.

If Su Mu had known he was this kind of person, he shouldn't have saved him.

However, if they hadn't saved him, they wouldn't have known about Huang Tiandao's existence.

Although we don't know the true origin of Huang Tiandao, we at least know the purpose of these people.

If one were to suddenly encounter Huang Tiandao without any prior knowledge, one would certainly be caught off guard.

Now, at least they can make some preparations.

"You're saying those Huang Tiandaos will come back?"

Su Mu pondered for a moment and asked.

"Yes."

The madman said in a deep voice, "They were killing people on the Heavenly Road, which is why I'm wondering why you didn't run into them?"

Su Mu and the others also showed thoughtful expressions.

Could it be such a coincidence that they missed Huang Tiandao back in the Great Thousand World?

That place in the vast world is somewhat special; it is usually very well hidden and only appears on the Heavenly Road every now and then.

Those Huang Tiandaos might have known these things, so they temporarily spared the Great Thousand Worlds, allowing them to survive unexpectedly.

The vast world has now completely disappeared, and Su Mu has absorbed it into his inner universe.

Even if those Yellow Heaven Daoists wanted to destroy the Great Thousand Worlds, they wouldn't have the chance.

"I'm sure they'll come back; they'll come back to check on the results of their battle."

"The madman said in a deep voice."

"I will take Yinghuo with me and perish together with them!"
If you stay in Yinghuo, don't blame me for not warning you.

"When Mars destroys itself, I will not care about your lives."

Although the madman had regained his senses, his eyes were still filled with madness.

The world of Yinghuo was wiped out, and all his relatives and friends died.

He had long since lost the will to live.

His only motivation for living is revenge.

He wants revenge!

They will seek revenge at all costs.

"Since we're bound to become rivals sooner or later, let's take advantage of this esteemed place to meet Huang Tiandao."

Su Mu pondered for a moment, then slowly said.

"If you're scared, I'll send you to the wider world to take refuge for a while."

Su Mu looked at the group of experts at the Primordial Beginning Realm.

"Sect Leader Su, I definitely want to go with you to meet those people."

I'd like to see what makes them so arrogant.

Huo Tu was the first to shout loudly.

"Sect Master Su, if you don't mind that I'm a burden, then I'd also like to see the Yellow Heaven Path."

Zhao Baiqi then added.

Chi Mingtang, Yuan Huaizhou, and others also expressed their willingness to stay.

Which of those who can become powerful beings in the Primordial Realm are cowards who fear death?

Even the few Tai Chu Realm experts who had previously advised Su Mu to leave early chose to stay.

It's normal to feel fear when faced with unknown dangers.

However, those who can become experts in the Primordial Realm are all strong individuals who have overcome their inner demons.

And now it's very clear that those Huang Tiandaos are coming for them.

You can't hide forever.

Since that's the case, we might as well fight back.

All the experts at the Primordial Beginning Realm were seasoned veterans, and in an instant, they knew what the right choice was.

The madman glanced at everyone with some surprise, and finally his gaze fell on Su Mu.

This person is so young, yet he possesses such cultivation and such prestige.

Why doesn't their world of Yinghuo have such a young powerhouse?

"You are free to stay if you wish, but I have already stated that I cannot attend to your needs."

"That's what the madman said."

After saying that, he turned and left.

Clearly, he wanted to make some arrangements in this world of fire and fire.

"Sect Leader Su, since we're going to stay and meet Huang Tiandao, shouldn't we make some preparations?"

A powerful expert at the Primordial Beginning Realm said, "To be honest, I have some knowledge of formations, and I might be able to set up a large formation here."

"I have several divine weapons."

"I have poison..."

The experts at the Primordial Beginning Realm all spoke up, offering their suggestions one after another.

"Arrange it according to your own wishes."

Su Mu gave the order directly.

He didn't think these arrangements could harm Huang Tiandao's people.

From this longsword, which the madman called "Surprising Swan," Su Mu glimpsed those Yellow Heaven Paths.

Although it was just a glimpse, Su Mu could still tell that those Huang Tiandaos were powerful and skilled in a combined attack technique.

That combined attack technique was somewhat like a formation.

If they cannot break their formation, then even if Su Mu faces them, he probably won't fare well.

The former master of Jinghong was no less skilled than Su Mu.

But he still perished under the siege of Huang Tiandao and his men.

It wasn't that Jinghong's former owner wasn't strong enough, but rather that Huang Tiandao and his ilk were too strong.

Not only did each of those people reach the high level of the Primordial Realm, but when they used the formation to attack together, the power they unleashed even exceeded that of the Perfect Primordial Realm.

"To defeat them, we must first break their combined attack formation."

Su Mu muttered to himself.

He recalled the scene that Jinghong had left him, and his mind quickly began to calculate.

Su Mu was a master of formations; he was proficient in many formations.

Although it was just a single image, Su Mu, relying on his powerful computing ability, managed to deduce this combined attack formation.

While the experts at the Primordial Beginning Realm were busy setting up traps and mechanisms, Su Mu walked to the side alone, muttering to himself from time to time, or squatting down to write and draw.

Zhao Baiqi and Huo Tu both secretly went over to take a look, but all they saw was a bunch of messy lines on the ground, and they couldn't understand what they were at all.

However, the Tai Chu Realm expert who claimed to have some knowledge of formations went over to take a look and immediately confirmed that Su Mu was deducing a formation.

However, the lines on the ground were too complicated.

Even that Primordial Realm expert couldn't figure out what kind of formation Su Mu was deducing.

Time flies like an arrow; a month has passed in the blink of an eye.

Huang Tiandao's men have not arrived.

Even that madman has disappeared without a trace.

Zhao Baiqi, Huo Tu, and others had already laid numerous traps, waiting for Huang Tiandao's people to enter the Yinghuo World, where they would fall into their scheme.

Unfortunately, they had made all the necessary arrangements, but the enemy never came.

Everyone had been waiting and waiting, and now they were all getting impatient.

They're venturing onto the Heavenly Road!

There's no time to stay here in Yinghuo and get entangled with a bunch of guys whose origins I don't know.

If those people from Huangtiandao don't arrive soon, they should continue on their way.

There are no supplies available in the Yinghuo world, and they still need to hurry to the next supply point.

However, Su Mu was completely absorbed in deducing the formation.

They couldn't possibly abandon Su Mu and venture out on the Heavenly Road on their own.

To be honest, without Su Mu's protection, given the current shortage of supplies, it would be very difficult for them to reach the next supply point.

Su Mu is the core of their group.

Left with no other choice, everyone could only wait silently on the sidelines.

Another half month passed.

suddenly.

A beam of light streaked across the sky.

Just as everyone got into position to face the enemy, they realized that the person who came was the madman who had been missing for many days.

"Are you really still here?"

The madman looked surprised when he saw the crowd.

"Huang Tiandao has arrived!"

He said in a deep voice.

Before the words were finished, a thunderous sound came from the sky.

Immediately afterwards, a dragon ship that blotted out the sky burst through the void and entered the world of Mars. (End of this chapter)
