Starting with being handed over to the Imperial Concubine, building a family with a thousand-year hi

The Three-Eyed Clan tricked and schemed, leading to the tragic deaths of their powerful members; Su Mu killed his own brother and slaughtered his clansmen. Both sides are sworn enemies, bound by blood feuds.

Now that the God-King is nowhere to be found, it is the best time for revenge.

Jiao Fuzi concealed his aura and quietly moved towards Wulong Star again, preparing to seize the opportunity to hunt down Tusier and Su Mu, settle the two feuds, and then continue to hide and lie low.

On Wulong Star, after finishing his remembrance, Tusir suppressed his grief and set off with the unsuspecting Su Mu to continue their search on the next inhabited planet.

……

Tai Dou Star, Star Palace, Palace of Gods and Men.

After returning to headquarters from Tianyuan Star and completing his tasks at the Star Palace, Song Pingchao immediately went to the palace to pay homage to Xiao Xuance, the God King of the Human Race.

He truthfully reported everything he had seen and heard during his trip to Tianyuan Star, especially the scene where Su Mu activated the God-King level puppet to intimidate the entire audience.

Xiao Xuance sat upright on his throne, his eyes widening slightly upon hearing this, his face showing surprise: "You mean that the resident envoy of Tianyuan Star possesses a god-king level puppet?"

As a mid-stage God-King realm expert, he was well aware of the difficulty in crafting God-King level puppets. Only top-tier experts at the late-stage God-King realm or above were qualified and capable of crafting them. Even he could never do it.

"Your Majesty, it is absolutely true. I saw it with my own eyes, and there is no falsehood in it." Song Pingchao said solemnly and resolutely.

Xiao Xuance knew the rules of the Star Palace, which forbade members from lying. Upon hearing this, he was completely certain that the matter was true, and his expression became even more solemn.

"There are only two possibilities for Su Mu to possess such a treasure."

Xiao Xuance slowly deduced and analyzed, "Firstly, he has a late-stage or even peak God King behind him; secondly, he obtained a heaven-defying opportunity by sheer luck."

"But according to you, he has been stationed on Tianyuan Star for many years and has never gone out to train. His vision and opportunities are limited to this place. Tianyuan Star and even the entire Langya Star System have never given birth to a God King. It is impossible for such a heaven-defying opportunity to be born."

"In this light, the possibility that he has a top-tier powerful figure backing him is the greatest."

"It seems that a wandering star warrior happened to pass by Tianyuan Star, and Su Mu, as the strongest person on Tianyuan Star, was noticed by this powerful traveler and given many opportunities and treasures." "Although we can't figure out why that wandering star warrior would specifically promote Su Mu, this is the only explanation that makes sense at the moment."

After careful deduction, Xiao Xuance arrived at what he believed to be the most realistic conclusion. Starry Sea Wanderers are independent cultivators who traverse countless star systems alone, disliking any affiliation with any power, single-mindedly focused on exploration, and each possessing formidable individual strength. Without sufficiently powerful cultivation, they would never dare to travel alone through the vast starry sea. Such individuals act as they please, unbound by rules and regulations. If they happened to pass by Tianyuan Star, took a liking to Su Mu, and casually bestowed upon him an opportunity, it would be quite reasonable.

Song Pingchao nodded slightly after listening, agreeing with Xiao Xuance's guess. He then cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, that person was able to give Su Mu a God-King level puppet, which means he values ​​Su Mu highly. Perhaps Su Mu has already become his disciple. If that's true, befriending Su Mu is equivalent to making friends with a God-King level Starry Sea Wanderer for the human race, which is an immense opportunity for humanity."

Xiao Xuance stroked his long beard, nodded slightly, and acknowledged Song Pingchao's assessment. In Xiao Xuance's mind, if Su Mu truly had a powerful figure at least in the late stage of the God-King realm behind him, even if he couldn't absorb that person into the Star Palace, the human race could still seek help from Su Mu in the future when they encountered difficulties. Most importantly, Xiao Xuance urgently needed such a top-tier helper at the moment.

The Star Palace, having endured for countless millennia, possesses numerous unique resources and methods. Among these is a secret realm that only God-Kings are qualified to enter, opening only once every ten thousand years. This secret realm is not exclusively owned by the Star Palace, but the Star Palace holds several exclusive entry slots. Currently, the number of God-Kings within the Star Palace is limited, and leaving these slots unused would be a waste. Xiao Xuance happens to have one extra slot. If the terms are agreed upon, he can bring a late-stage God-King along, providing greater security whether for self-preservation within the secret realm or for vying for supreme treasures.

Thinking this, Xiao Xuance smiled. When true desires are fulfilled, those who want help will readily offer themselves up. The secret realm is about to open; the strong will come naturally!

But that smile lasted less than two breaths before he seemed to suddenly remember an urgent matter, his expression darkening slightly: "Pingchao, you must set off for Tianyuan Star immediately. I've received news that the Horned Scale Clan has suffered heavy losses around Tianyuan, and the Three-Eyed Clan is undoubtedly behind this. A few days ago, the Three-Eyed Clan's Celestial God, Tusir, went to Tianyuan Star. They dare not directly attack Su Mu due to the rules of the Star Palace, but it's hard to guarantee they won't secretly plot against him."

"Take these two treasures with you at all times. If you encounter danger on your journey, as long as the God-King doesn't personally appear, they will be more than enough to protect your and Su Mu's lives."

Song Pingchao was startled, not expecting the Three-Eyed Clan to act so quickly. He hurriedly accepted the two treasures sent by Xiao Xuance from afar, put them into his storage magic treasure, bowed and took his leave, and then rushed to the interstellar teleportation array.

……

Luanshi Star, the fifth inhabited planet Su Mu and Tusier arrived on. After a thorough search, they still couldn't find a trace of the Horned Scale Clan.

"Damn it, where are you hiding?!" Tusser stood atop the highest peak of the mountain range, looking up at the sky, and couldn't help but roar.

Su Mu, standing behind him, glanced indifferently at the furious Tusser, then his gaze sharpened, quickly sweeping towards the airspace to his right rear. That area of ​​space began to undulate and vibrate irregularly, and after a moment, it rippled like a curtain of water, from which several figures slowly emerged.

The leader stepped forward, fully revealing himself, and chuckled, his tone full of mockery: "Tusir, I've heard you've been searching everywhere for my Horned Scale Clan?"

Tusir whirled around, and the smile that had just appeared on his face froze the moment he saw Hornfutz. Three Celestial Gods, nine Great Gods! Hornfutz had actually gathered all the Horned Scale Clan's forces scattered in various places, specifically to wait for the two of them here.

Tusir swallowed hard, staring at the complete elite force of the Horned Scale Clan before him. In terms of cultivation alone, he was slightly superior to Hornfortz, and hadn't given them much thought during his earlier investigation. In a one-on-one fight, he wasn't afraid of Hornfortz at all; even if the latter had one or two more helpers, if he was truly outmatched, he could abandon Su Mu and escape alone. His original plan was to use the Horned Scale Clan to eliminate Su Mu.

But to his utter surprise, Hornfortz gathered all the strongest members of his clan and surrounded the two of them. The roles of prey and hunter were instantly reversed, and the one who should be laughing was now the other.

A sinister smile spread across Jiao Fuzi's face, his sharp fangs gleaming coldly, making the smile appear even more ferocious: "Tusir, weren't you determined to avenge Tuharen? Now that I've delivered myself to your doorstep, why aren't you making a move?"

Hornfortz wasn't in a hurry to start the battle. A mocking, cat-and-mouse expression played on his face as he planned to humiliate them thoroughly before finally killing them. In his eyes, his formidable lineup was more than capable of annihilating Tusir and Su Mu. As long as he kept a close eye on them and prevented them from using their escape talismans, there would be no unforeseen circumstances. Since victory was assured, he naturally wanted to first humiliate them, letting the Three-Eyed Clan know that even with a God-King within their ranks, they couldn't be there for their people at all times.

Ultimately, Tusir's repeated provocations against Horn Futz, relying on the Three-Eyed Clan's backing by the God-King, led to this humiliation. At the level of gods, unless there is deep-seated hatred, they generally do not deliberately humiliate their opponents.

Faced with Jiao Fuzi's taunts, Tusir felt a surge of anger, but dared not act rashly. The tide of battle had turned, and he no longer harbored thoughts of revenge, his mind solely focused on how to escape. As for Su Mu beside him, he had deliberately brought him along to die, so he wouldn't consider the other's feelings whatsoever.

Tusir quickly surveyed Horned Futz and the two celestials behind him, a risky plan forming in his mind. "Unleash a full-force attack to withstand the combined assault of the three, using the impact to create distance, then immediately activate the escape talisman to escape—this is my only chance to survive." "Once I escape, all the Horned Scale Clan's rage will be vented on Su Mu, thus completing the task assigned by the God-King." "At most, I'll only suffer some injuries. Returning to the Star Palace and reporting the truth, the God-King will surely reward me handsomely for what I've accomplished; a few injuries are insignificant." "Besides, returning unscathed would be difficult to explain. I brought Su Mu out of Tianyuan Star; if he dies while I remain unharmed, it won't be convincing to the Star Palace."
