Zongman: I'm working hard to develop my daily life in the time-travel series

The enemy leader glanced around at the surroundings with a complicated expression, then smiled at Shi Yu and said, "Since we are both facing the same problem—that the river basin is about to experience flooding, and we will be affected by it,"

To avoid further losses, I am willing to establish a temporary ceasefire with you and help you cross the river safely.

After hearing these words, Shi Yu relaxed his guard slightly and thanked the enemy leader: "Thank you for your kindness. In that case, we are willing to accept your help." However, they did not notice the change in Shi Yu's mindset during the decision-making process.

Because he began to think more deeply about the truth behind the conflict and tried to find possibilities for resolving the crisis.

In the stillness of the night, Shi Yu stood alone atop a distant mountain, gazing at the starry sky.

He pondered the events of the past few days, his mind filled with doubt and confusion.

The enemy commander's sudden offer of assistance—was there some ulterior motive behind it? This question constantly lingered in his mind.

“Perhaps the real crisis isn’t the flood disaster,” Shi Yu murmured to himself.

He began to speculate that other factors might be influencing the war situation between the two sides.

Perhaps someone is using this as a cover to carry out something larger-scale and more insidious.

A scene flashed through Shi Yu's mind: a mysterious figure was secretly manipulating the entire war situation, using floods to create chaos and panic; while the enemy leader was completely unaware and was merely being used as a pawn.

Shi Yu realized that uncovering this conspiracy might change the entire situation. Therefore, after the enemy leader was brought back to his camp, Shi Yu chose to focus on his cultivation.

Guided by the mysterious old man, he began to immerse himself in the circulation of true qi according to the cultivation method.

The night was quiet and still, and the starry sky shone like diamonds set in the heavens.

Chapter 654 The Guidance of the Mysterious Old Man

Shi Yu closed his eyes and concentrated, his whole body emitting a faint light.

He was surrounded by a powerful aura that seemed to condense into a tangible force, gently nourishing his body and soul.

Time seemed to stand still as Shi Yu, who was cultivating, became completely absorbed in his practice.

He constantly sensed and adjusted the flow of his inner energy, continuously accumulating purer and more powerful energy through breathing and the smoothing and unblocking of his meridians.

While Shi Yu was cultivating, Ye Rufeng and the others were puzzled by his choice to take such action.

After all, negotiating at this point might be a more urgent and pragmatic option.

But they all understood that Shi Yu must have his own firm and well-thought-out reasons and decisions.

"Perhaps Shi Yu has some revolutionary ideas," Ye Rufeng guessed. Although he didn't get a definite answer, he decided to respect and support Shi Yu's decision.

They knew that Shi Yu was a kind and upright person, and that every choice he made had its own unique reasons and meanings.

Time flew by, and through cultivation and contemplation, Shi Yu gradually found some clues and directions.

He no longer cultivated merely for his own power, but rather viewed cultivation as an exploration, a search for the key to revealing the truth. Following the cultivation methods taught by the mysterious old man, Shi Yu circulated his true energy. The holy sword in his dantian, like a general leading his soldiers, gathered true power, freely flowing through the meridians of his body.

During his cultivation, Shi Yu focused his mind and gathered his energy, and his true energy grew stronger and stronger, as if an invisible sword was lingering within his body.

He felt an unprecedented power, accompanied by a sense of impact, and Shi Yu felt that he was about to achieve a breakthrough.

Suddenly, Shi Yu's entire body was filled and surrounded by endless energy, as if he had merged into the mysteries of the universe.

The true energy was no longer calm and gentle, but became intense and surging.

Wherever it goes, everything is destroyed!

Shi Yu's lips curled into a slight smile as he sensed he was reaching a new realm—the Holy Sword Realm! The scene before him suddenly transformed into a white space, within which floated countless gleaming holy swords.

All of them are closely related to Shi Yu.

In an instant, these holy swords soared into the air, rapidly unleashing a dazzling and magnificent light.

That was a brilliant flame born from the collision of strength, wisdom, and courage.

Ye Rufeng and the others stared at Shi Yu in disbelief, feeling the oppressive aura emanating from him.

They couldn't help but take a few steps back; in that instant, Shi Yu's aura had surpassed everything they could have imagined. Standing atop the mountain, Shi Yu felt the boundless power surging within him when suddenly the voice of the mysterious old man came from beside him: "Shi Yu, although your cultivation has progressed by leaps and bounds, if you wish to consolidate this realm, you need to find rare tonics, and..."

Merge your holy sword with its sword spirit.

This news left Shi Yu feeling confused.

He began to ponder how he could find the rare tonics he needed amidst this chaotic and dangerous situation. He knew that finding these immortal herbs and fruits wouldn't be easy. Shi Yu looked at the mysterious old man with a puzzled expression, "You said I need to find rare tonics to strengthen my Saint Sword Realm, so where should I look for these rare tonics?"

The mysterious old man smiled slightly and replied in a muffled voice, "Su State."

Hearing this answer, Shi Yu felt even more confused.

Chapter 655 He swung his arm with lightning speed

He knew that the Su Kingdom was a renowned power with abundant spiritual herbs and fruits, but how should he enter the Su Kingdom now?

"How should I enter the State of Su?" Shi Yu asked.

Chen Tong suddenly spoke up, saying that he knew of a special material.

A hint of doubt and curiosity flashed in Shi Yu's eyes. He stared at Chen Tong quietly, waiting for his explanation.

Chen Tong stared at Shi Yu and said seriously, "Shi Yu, this time you need to go to the Su Kingdom and find a special material to strengthen your Holy Sword Realm. This material is very precious and rare, and can only be found in the Su Kingdom."

Upon hearing Chen Tong's words, Shi Yu's face showed an even more confused expression. "But how do I enter the State of Su? I'm not familiar with this place."

Chen Tong smiled and explained, "Don't worry, I will personally lead you to the Su Kingdom. Moreover, you can use the absorption ability of your own Holy Sword power to absorb and transform this special material."

Shi Yu was somewhat surprised and curious after hearing Chen Tong's words, "How do you absorb and transform it?"

"I have learned about your strength attributes during this time and discovered that the Holy Sword power within your body is extremely strong. On the way to the Kingdom of Su, I will guide you on how to fuse the Holy Sword power with special materials."

Chen Tong answered seriously.

Shi Yu felt a little relieved, looked at Chen Tong, and said, "Thank you for your guidance and help. I will do my best to cooperate."

Chen Tong nodded and smiled, saying, "Shi Yu, you have great potential. As long as you can maintain your current level, you will be able to better protect yourself and those around you."

Shi Yu sensed the expectation and encouragement in Chen Tong's words, and a resolute look flashed in his eyes. "I will definitely work hard." Shi Yu and Ye Rufeng followed closely behind Chen Tong and embarked on their journey to the State of Su.

More than a hundred masked men dressed in black surrounded them, protecting their safety.

The entire procession moved along a tree-lined path, where sunlight filtered through the leaves, creating a sense of tranquility and peace.

However, just as they reached a city gate, the guards at the gate raised their spears and blocked their way.

Shi Yu frowned; this sudden obstruction made the situation tense.

He realized that the guard might not know his and Ye Rufeng's identities. He had to make a decision quickly.

·· ·····Requesting flowers·· 0

Shi Yu quickly gave Ye Rufeng a wink, and the two of them took a step back in unison.

Shi Yu smiled and took a few steps closer to the guard.

"Honorable city gate guard, please forgive us for the inconvenience we have caused you. I am a traveler from afar and urgently need to reach the Kingdom of Su. We hope you can let us through." Shi Yu's voice was gentle and polite.

.... ..... 0

The guard gripped his spear, his brow furrowed, hesitant and undecided.

He glanced at the masked man in black behind him, a sense of unease creeping into his heart.

Shi Yu noticed his concerns, so he swung his arm with lightning speed.

The masked man in black quickly untied the ropes binding Chen Tong and pushed him forward.

"I'm willing to take responsibility for our group. The adults mean no harm. Please believe in our sincerity in inviting you out on such a beautiful day," Shi Yu said firmly.

Upon hearing this, everyone nodded in agreement, expressing their respect for the guard and their pleas for leniency.

A tense atmosphere filled the city gate. Under the watchful eyes of everyone, the guards finally lowered their spears.

Chapter 656 We truly meant no harm; we simply wished to discuss important matters with you and your city.

"In that case, please come in," the guard replied simply.

Shi Yu smiled slightly, bowed deeply to the guards at the city gate, and led the group forward slowly.

In this brief but tense exchange, Shi Yu decisively and wisely released Chen Tong to ease the pressure and win the approval of the crowd.

After the guard at the city gate lowered his spear, he exchanged a few words with the masked man in black.

He inquired whether Chen "780" had truly been released and expressed doubt about the sincerity of Shi Yu and others.

The masked man in black patiently explained, "We truly have no ill intentions; we simply wish to discuss important matters with you and your city." The guard breathed a slight sigh of relief upon hearing this.

The city gates slowly opened, and Shi Yu led everyone step by step into the bustling metropolis of Su Kingdom.

He glanced across the street ahead and found nothing unusual except for the hurried pedestrians and the bustling sounds of traffic.

During their journey, everyone couldn't help but marvel at the influence Shi Yu had.

In that tense moment, he cleverly used Chen Tong's release to ease the pressure of the situation.

His calm, wise, and decisive actions earned him the trust and respect of everyone.

Shi Yu himself was somewhat surprised by his own actions.

This was not his usual way of behaving, but given the current situation, he felt a powerful and steady force surging within him.

He understood that only by gaining enough trust from everyone could they reach their destination and ultimately defeat Qin Feng.

As people walked forward, the city's pavilions and towers began to come into view.

The majestic Dengxian Tower stands at the end of the street, and Bai Chengming, as the sect leader, naturally holds a pivotal position.

Looking at the Ascension Tower, Shi Yu secretly resolved to create a brighter future for himself, Bai Zhi, and all those who suffer.

Amidst the hustle and bustle of the city, Shi Yu suddenly stopped.

He subconsciously turned around and looked at the city gate he had just left, staring at the place that had once blocked his way.

Gradually, the crowd around him stopped and turned to face the city gate. As Shi Yu turned around, the vermilion lights between the pavilions caught his eye.

The capital of the Su Kingdom was like a dream city, filled with a rich cultural atmosphere and bustling scenery.

He sensed the exotic fragrance in the air, as if he were in a magnificent and ancient kingdom...

Chen Tong and the others were also surprised when they witnessed all this, and they couldn't help but slow down their pace.

The Kingdom of Su was detached from the world, like a utopia hidden in a corner of the world.

In stark contrast to the bustling crowds in the square, this tall, magnificent, quiet, and peaceful pavilion stands out.

The deep drumbeats gradually rise, and the bold melody floats in the air.

The dancers in full armor and cloaks performed an armor dance downstairs, leaping, spinning, and twirling gracefully and accurately.

Su Yu led a group of trusted confidants toward Chen Tong and his men. "Lord Chen Tong, was your journey smooth?" he asked.

Chen Tong smiled, the worry on his face disappearing. "Thanks to Lord Yu and his companions for protecting us, we were able to arrive safely."

Su Yu nodded slightly in approval and turned to Shi Yu, "Lord Shi Yu, I am very happy that you have come to Su Kingdom. I admire your performance at the city gate just now."

Before he finished speaking, a maidservant hurried over, carrying a box of pills that shimmered with a red light.

Chapter 657 Crowds and Extraordinary Enthusiasm

"Lord Shi Yu, please accept these precious pills as a token of our gratitude." The maid handed them to Shi Yu.

Shi Yu took the box, opened it, and found it filled with colorful and fragrant pills.

These pills exuded a rich and unique aroma, appearing exceptionally beautiful in his hands.

"Thank you," he replied with a smile. "Since you value my arrival so much, I believe the State of Su must have the rare tonics we are looking for."

Su Yu bowed slightly. "Please rest assured, the rare tonics are already being prepared. However, Lord Shi Yu, I would like to ask you in detail about the uses of these tonics."

After a brief pause, Su Yu led Shi Yu and his group toward the palace.

Su Yu led Shi Yu and his group to a magnificent hall in Su Kingdom City.

The atmosphere in the hall was tense, with heated discussions and debates taking place about what had just happened.

"I've heard that Lord Shiyu is very brave in battle."

A young guard said excitedly, "He has been helping us defend against the attacking enemy forces. His strength is extraordinary."

The others nodded in approval, praising Shi Yu's strength and courage.

Chen Tong frowned, silently pondering the reason why Shi Yu had suddenly left.

"Perhaps he was injured."

A maid whispered, "After all, he left in a hurry after the battle; perhaps he wasn't feeling well."
