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

Su Mu moved with incredible speed. Relying on his Grandmaster-level cultivation and abundant spiritual energy, he reached the Wild Wolf Ridge in the time it takes for an incense stick to burn. He slowly descended from the highest peak, landing steadily atop it, his gaze fixed on the source of the dazzling light not far away. This mountain peak was only a few dozen meters from the light pillar, allowing him to clearly see its entirety and everything around it.

Su Mu could clearly see that a huge crack had appeared on the ground in that area, and a dazzling light was shooting out from the center of the crack!

Now, the gap is only about the thickness of two fingers and about ten feet long, and it is slowly widening!

Within the imperial city, experts continuously arrived by flying through the air.

Everyone landed on the ground and looked into the distance.

Others probed into it with their divine sense.

It was obvious that the spiritual energy here was particularly abundant, and there was a very strong energy fluctuation at the location where the light appeared!

Because their divine senses simply could not detect the source of this light!

And definitely don't go deep underground!

No one knows what lies beneath this surface.

Everyone's eyes were filled with fervor!

Swish!Swish!Swish!

Just then, three people suddenly flew in beside Su Mu.

These three are none other than the current Emperor Xiao Anxun, Li Lianqing's chief steward, and Lin Zhengying, the sixth elder of the Tianwu Sect!

Without the company of a grandmaster like Lin Zhengying, Xiao Anxun would not have left so easily, let alone come in person.

After all, this area has become a chaotic battlefield, and a major battle could break out at any moment!

"It seems we'll have to wait a while longer to see the treasure hidden underground!"

Xiao Anxun was the first to step forward.

"Waiting a little longer isn't a big deal!"

Lin Zhengying had a smile on her face, looking very confident.

Li Lianqing: "..."

"Waiting here is so boring, I'm going home!"

Su Mu estimated that it would take at least three days before he took to the air and flew south.

Wild Wolf Ridge is teeming with experts!

Su Mu wasn't really enjoying this situation; he didn't want anyone taking advantage of his vulnerability.

It's safer to go home and wait!

After flying for a short while, Su Mu summoned his Silver Puppet.

He could wait, but he still needed to keep an eye on what was happening over there, lest some treasure appear and he was unable to obtain it.

Although he was more than 200 miles away and could not control Liuyin with his divine sense, he could use the Liuyin puppet to observe the situation here.

The silver puppet trod across the land as Su Mu flew into the imperial city and leisurely headed towards Wild Wolf Ridge.

Within Wolf Ridge, all was silent.

Su Qingshan and Duanmu Rong were both disguised.

"Chief Su, that direction seems to be towards the newly promoted 'Loyal Uncle' in the palace!"

Duanmu Rong did not know this person named Su Chen, but some people in the Duanmu family did.

We met on the morning of the festival.

Just then, Su Mu suddenly attacked Duanmu Ping and killed him!

On this day, apart from Duanmu Ping, the Duanmu family had three other grandmaster-level experts, two of whom escaped.

"yes!"

Su Qingshan nodded slightly, not telling Duanmu Rong that Su Mu was his biological son, so as not to disrupt the connection between the Duanmu family and the Divine Judgment.

"Judging from his attire, this man is very likely His Majesty!"

Duanmu Rong asked, "That old man in the blue robe next to him, could he be Lin Zhengying, the Sixth Elder of the Tianwu Sect?"

"That's right!" Regner nodded.

Su Qingshan nodded again, indicating his agreement.

"No wonder the Emperor, with the assistance of a Grandmaster, dared to leave the capital!"

Duanmu Rong sneered, "One day, his entire clan will be wiped out!"

There was no enmity between the Duanmu family and the Xiao royal family, but now, one of their Grandmasters and one of their Grandmasters had died in the imperial city. This was a huge blow to their family and the reason why they hated the Xiao royal family to the bone!

Even though they were rebels!

"Huh?" He was slightly taken aback.

Just as Su Qingshan was about to answer, his gaze suddenly fell on an old man wearing a cloak and with a slightly hunched back.

The hunchbacked old man stood alone atop a mountain peak.

Due to the distance and the cloak obscuring his face, Su Qingshan could neither see the old man's face nor use his divine sense to investigate.

"Xiao Yuanhou?" He suddenly remembered something.

Su Qingshan was somewhat surprised.

During the festival of worshipping the gods, he had seen this old man from a great distance outside the palace.

This person bears a striking resemblance to Xiao Yuanhou, the Grandmaster of the Xiao Imperial Family!

"Xiao Yuanhou isn't dead?"

Duanmu Rong also looked up at the mountain, his face showing disbelief.

"No!" a voice suddenly rang out.

Su Qingshan's gaze sharpened, and he asked, "If it's Xiao Yuanhou, why didn't he follow the Emperor?"

"If he were Xiao Yuanhou, he wouldn't have done that!"

Duanmu Rong thought for a moment and said, "Sect Leader Su, is that old man on the mountain the Grandmaster who suddenly attacked Situ Jing on the day of the sacrifice?"

"Yes!" He nodded.

Su Qingshan nodded and said, "At that time, I thought he was Xiao Yuanhou because he looked very much like Xiao Yuanhou. There was no reason for other senior grandmasters to risk their lives for the Xiao royal family, only Xiao Yuanhou!"

"Wasn't he killed by Situ Jing's Overlord Spear?"

Duanmu Rong's face turned ugly.

"He fell from the sky and landed in the imperial city; nobody knows what happened!"

Su Qingshan said dejectedly, "I was just thinking, if he were Xiao Yuanhou, he probably wouldn't have lasted long after taking such a heavy punch, but I never imagined that he wasn't Xiao Yuanhou!"

"Who else could it be besides Xiao Yuanhou?"

Duanmu Rong asked疑惑地问道, "Why would he help the Xiao royal family?"

Su Qingshan was also completely bewildered and couldn't understand it at all.

Their specialty was gathering information, but none of them knew anything about the old man.

"To withstand a blow from Situ Jing's Overlord Spear, his strength must not be that of a Grandmaster!"

Duanmu Rong thought for a moment and continued, "Moreover, he may not have fully recovered yet. Given his old and frail appearance, he shouldn't be a threat!"

"Hmm!" He nodded.

Su Qingshan chimed in, "That Japanese grandmaster will be arriving soon, along with a group of Japanese experts. They're all top-tier fighters, and we're not to be underestimated!"

"See that? Lin Zhengying has brought the Emperor!"

Duanmu Rong's voice rang out.

Just then, Lin Zhengying and Xiao Anxun arrived at the top of the hill, where the silver puppets were located.

The silver puppets noticed the commotion and flew away.

Just as the two landed, the Silver Puppet appeared on the summit of another mountain.

"This senior clearly doesn't want to see us!"

Xiao Anxun: "Sixth Elder, if he doesn't want to talk to us anymore, then don't force him!"
