I've never felt happy to become an immortal.

Chapter 146: He who knows the current affairs is a hero
The talisman is called the Great Teleportation Talisman.

Like the Sumeru Ring, it is a treasure with spatial attributes.

However, the Sumeru Ring can be reused, while the Great Teleportation Talisman is a one-time creation, and its craftsmanship is more complex than that of the Sumeru Ring.

The Sumeru Ring is used to create space for containment, while the Great Teleportation Talisman is used to create spatial channels to transfer living beings.

These kinds of talismans were originally only made by terrestrial immortals. Even after the requirements were lowered, very few have survived to this day because the tradition was broken.

Moreover, its use is subject to significant limitations.

A single talisman can only move living things within a radius of ten miles.

Zhao Yuzhou stepped out of the spatial passage opened by the Great Teleportation Talisman. He had paid a huge price to obtain this talisman in order to see Su Wuwo. If he failed, he would face a great cost.

The faceless and formless man said calmly, "The rest is up to you."

Zhao Yuzhou nodded and asked, "You want to go to His side?"

The faceless man touched his face: "I need a good face, the one of the eldest daughter of the Lin family would be good enough."

Zhao Yuzhou felt a chill.

The faceless and formless figure stepped into the rift opened by the teleportation talisman, and the two completed an exchange.

He took a deep breath, gripped the box in his hand, and slowly walked towards the deepest part of the fifth-level dungeon.

As he approached, he took out his key and was about to open the door, but the key was unusually difficult to insert, as if it had rusted from not being used for a long time.

Zhao Yuzhou exerted a little force and found that the door might not have been locked from the beginning. He reached out and pulled, and it opened easily... The place inside was quite spacious.

A beam of light, after being refracted multiple times, was introduced into the fifth underground cell, so it did not appear dark or murky, and there was no sign of suffering or exhaustion.

The spacious room is covered with carpets and wooden planks, and is furnished with all kinds of furniture. In the center of the 200-square-meter space, there is even a lush ancient tree, which is bathed in sunlight. The scene is beautiful, like a sunken courtyard.

A middle-aged man lay under a tree with a book covering his face, looking more like he was on vacation than in jail.

"Senior Brother?" Zhao Yuzhou tried calling out.

The middle-aged man lying under the tree slightly moved his fingers, lifted his eyelids, removed the book covering his face, revealing a slightly weathered face with some stubble, and his lazy posture gave him an air of a wanderer.

Not to mention the domineering aura of a Grandmaster on the Earth Ranking, there wasn't even a trace of malevolence to be seen.

Zhao Yuzhou immediately recognized the man's identity: "Disciple of Fuguang Sect, greetings to Senior Brother."

"you are?"

"I am Zhao Yuzhou." Zhao Yuzhou introduced himself: "I am a disciple of Master Wuquezi. Although I am only a disciple, I have also received the Fuguang Divine Seal."

He rolled up his sleeves, revealing a dark gold rune on his upper arm.

Su Wuwo glanced at it and said indifferently, "This is not the Fu Guang Divine Seal, this is the Remnant Sun... After becoming an inner disciple, the Fu Guang Divine Seal will naturally be completed. However, you are indeed a member of the Fu Guang Sect, and you even came all the way here to find me?"

"Our master passed away ten years ago. I have come here to ask our senior brother to come out of seclusion and rebuild the Fuguang Sect's lineage! Now, the fate of this thousand-year-old sect rests on your shoulders!" Zhao Yuzhou bowed deeply.

Su Wuwo twitched his fingers, but that was all; he didn't have any particular thoughts. He closed his eyes and scratched his head. "The old man must have made arrangements for the Dao lineage before he left. If he really expected me to rebuild the Dao lineage, then the destruction of Fuguang Sect would be inevitable."

Zhao Yuzhou was stunned. For people in the martial arts world, the lineage was more important than life itself. How could he treat it so lightly?

Su Wuwo continued, "You must have had a tough time getting in here. With your cultivation level barely reaching Grandmaster, who helped you? Which of the Six Paths and Seven Sects?"

Zhao Yuzhou clasped his hands: "This... I received the Emperor's favor in Northern Zhou."

“So it’s the Northern Zhou.” Su Wuwo turned a page of the book: “Our Fuguang Sect will not serve the monarch. Seeking the Dao is our only goal. The old man has always said so, but I am not like that, and you don’t seem to be either. If we rebuild the Daoist lineage, at most we will be a side branch, neither fish nor fowl.”

"How can you be so self-deprecating, Senior Brother!"

"Alright, then I won't belittle myself." Su Wu said without any politeness, "You have no right to mention rebuilding the Fuguang Sect's lineage... Get lost, don't disturb my reading."

This was the first time Zhao Yuzhou had met Su Wuwo, and there was no basis for trust between them.

The so-called appeals to emotions and reason are all nonsense and don't make sense.

Zhao Yuzhou had no choice but to reveal his last trump card. He took out a wooden box wrapped in red cloth and handed it over: "I brought a gift with me on this trip."

Su Wuwo casually took it, waved his hand, and the red cloth unfolded by itself, opening the wooden box.

Inside the opened wooden box was a faded, colorful windmill.

Su Wuwo's ​​expression changed instantly, and in a flash, the air in the entire fifth underground level became viscous.

"Where did you get this?"

Zhao Yuzhou dared not even breathe loudly; the title of Grandmaster on the Earth Ranking was indeed well-deserved.

Even Su Wuye, who is ranked 30th or lower, has the ability to change the world with his anger.

Zhao Yuzhou lowered his head, trembling with fear: "Yes..."

"Alright." Su Wuwo suddenly interrupted again. He picked up the faded windmill, held it in his hand and shook it gently, revealing a bitter smile: "No matter who found it, I owe them a favor. It was you who came to find it... Tell me, what do you want me to do?"

A favor from a Grandmaster of the Earthly Ranking.

Zhao Yuzhou immediately forced himself to lift his head, about to speak.

"Forget about rebuilding the lineage." Su Wuwo shook his head and said, "The inheritance of the Fuguang Sect lies in the Fuguang Divine Pattern. The sect leader's divine pattern is unique. I have neither the ability nor the will to rebuild the Fuguang Sect. Let's change our request."

Zhao Yuzhou hesitated for a moment and then said, "Could you please come with me to Northern Zhou, Senior Brother?"

"You want me to work for the Northern Zhou emperor?" Su Wuwo scoffed. "A single favor wouldn't warrant so much from me. You're dreaming."

Zhao Yuzhou was speechless for a moment, as none of his previous assumptions made sense.

"No need to rush, you can think about it slowly." Su Wuwo didn't take it to heart, looking down at the windmill, his eyes flashing with many complex emotions: nostalgia, bitterness, and guilt.

Zhao Yuzhou's mind was racing.

Thinking about how to maximize the benefits of this favor.

Rebuilding the Fuguang Sect's lineage is now a pipe dream, so at the very least, the Lin family must be suppressed to the greatest extent possible.

Suddenly, Zhao Yuzhou had a flash of inspiration: "Could we ask our senior brother to deal with Lin Chongxiao?"

"..." Su Wuwo paused slightly: "You want me to kill Lin Chongxiao?"

Zhao Yuzhou nodded.

Lin Chongxiao is the current head of the Lin family. If he dies, the Lin family will not fall apart, but it will certainly fall into internal strife for a period of time.

Combined with that person's actions, it was enough to create a crisis within the Lin family, a prestigious clan with a thousand-year history, and it began to show signs of decline.

The Northern Zhou dynasty was devoting significant manpower and resources to infiltrating the Wu region, as it was a vital strategic point in the Central Plains. Capturing this area would increase their chances of conquering Southern Chu by 20%. However, the Langya Lin clan proved too entrenched, making infiltration impossible and forcing them to resort to more forceful measures.

Su Wuwo smiled faintly: "Your idea is interesting. Lin Chongxiao is sixth on the Earth Ranking, while I'm about to fall below forty. I could beat him ten years ago, so why should I still be his opponent now?"

He put the windmill into the wooden box.

"And you probably don't know that."

“As soon as I walk out of this cell, Lin Chongxiao will come to kill me.”

"There's absolutely no need for me to lay a hand on him."

Zhao Yuzhou was dumbfounded. He had investigated Su Wuwo, but all he had obtained was superficial information.

Even Su Wuwo had no idea why the Lin family had imprisoned him on the fifth floor of the dungeon.

Not to mention that there was actually some kind of life-or-death feud between him and Lin Chongxiao.

What exactly happened more than a decade ago?
It could cause the Fuguang Sect to decline so quickly, and it could make Su Wuwo willingly imprisoned here.

Zhao Yuzhou didn't even have time to ask for these answers.

Su Wu had already gone out first, carrying the wooden box in his hands, and headed towards the door.

Before leaving, he glanced at the cage where he had spent more than a decade.

He smiled and patted the wooden box.

"Let me take you on this last trip through the martial world."

……

Outside the Avici Prison, several half-masters were engaged in a lively battle, fighting back and forth.

They couldn't immediately determine the winner, both giving their all, yet harboring certain concerns and hesitant to unleash their full potential.

After the warden intervened repeatedly, he finally realized that something was wrong.

"You're stalling for time! Oh no, open the partition now!"

It's too late to realize it now.

The sealing stone in the Abyss Dungeon was violently shattered.

The jailers and those who came to break into the prison were all dumbfounded.

This sealing stone was made of diamond rock. It took countless craftsmen a lot of effort to polish it to this state, yet it was shattered by a single palm strike.
In the broken dungeon passage,
Su Wuwo, dressed in blue, stepped out and sniffed the damp air: "It's actually a rainy day... Hehe, that's quite nice."

His gaze swept over the masters and common soldiers fighting nearby, he shook his head, and strolled past without disturbing or paying them any attention.

A prison guard tried to block the way, but the warden stopped him, saying, "Ignore him! Leave him alone!"

He remembered the appearance and origin of every prisoner in the entire Avici Hell very clearly, except for one person.

He broke out in a cold sweat, knowing full well that this man was absolutely unstoppable.

Even though it had been more than a decade, this was the first time the warden had ever seen this person's face.

"Form ranks and prepare to intercept the prisoners rushing out of the dungeon!"

Upon hearing the warden's words, the guards obeyed the order with some skepticism and let Su Wuwo leave.

Then they continued to fight with the people who came to break them out of the prison.

Amid the chaos, Zhao Yuzhou quietly slipped out. He had no desire to participate in the battle for the Earth Ranking and become an ant that would be crushed by passersby.

Following the passage to the third floor of the dungeon, the entire floor was empty. Some of the hardened criminals were excited, while others were weak and exhausted, but all were overjoyed at regaining their freedom.

They were all eager to teach the Lin family a lesson and make them pay.

With such a large number of serious offenders, although some of them are old and nearing the end of their lives, they should still be able to cause the Lin family a lot of trouble.

Zhao Yuzhou thought to himself that he needed to continue to incite them more vigorously.

And then we arrived at the second floor...

Not a single prison break?

"What's going on?" Zhao Yuzhou was dumbfounded.

This is different from what I expected.

The prisoners on the third floor have all rushed out. Don't you want to breathe the sweet air freely?

Zhao Yuzhou flicked his sleeve and said disdainfully, "What a bunch of rule-abiding demonic heroes!"

He pointed at the snow eagle in the cell and cursed, "Your brother, the black-winged eagle, is waiting for you to fight your way out, and you're hiding here like a coward!"

Snow Eagle said expressionlessly, "The prison key is in the latrine. Why don't you go and get it?"

Zhao Yuzhou: "?"

He looked at the Tiger and Leopard Duo: "You don't want to go out?"

Tai Chenghu: "There are many talented people here, and they speak very nicely. I love being here."

Tai Xiaobao: "You guys need to hurry up and go, don't disturb the neighbors' sleep, okay? We need to go out for some fresh air tomorrow!"

Zhao Yuzhou stormed off in anger: "A bunch of good-for-nothings! How can we build the demonic path with a bunch of vermin like you!"

After they had gone some distance, Tai Chenghu said, "The only way out for everyone is to try to get a reduced sentence. Don't just think about fighting and killing all day long. There's an old saying in the underworld: 'A wise man submits to circumstances.'"

"I think……"

Before the words were finished, a loud shout of "Holy crap, what is that?" suddenly came from the passage ahead.

Zhao Yuzhou sped back at an extremely fast speed.

At the end of the prison passage, a figure in white appeared on the second floor of the Avici Prison.

"Brother... why do I feel like that person looks so familiar?" Tai Xiaobao tugged at his brother's sleeve.

"Fool." Tai Chenghu's lips twitched. "Weren't we sent here by this guy?"

The two brothers exchanged a glance and shouted, "Young Master Bai! We didn't escape from prison! We're here to atone for our crimes!"
