Chapter 825
Overpowering All Heroes
Just as the disciples of the Yanfu Sect were gradually heading towards the Great Xuan Dynasty.
A person also arrived in the Great Xuan Dynasty.
The newcomer was none other than Huang Chao, the former sect leader of Hengshan Sect.
If it were before, when Huang Chao and the powerful figures of the Yanfu Sect met, they would definitely have fought a fierce battle.
But now, with Su Mu as the middleman, Huang Chao has also sat down with Lu Yin of Yanfu Sect, the Azure Dragon Protector, and others, which is quite rare.
"His Majesty has promised me that he will not launch a military campaign within ten years, but if anyone attacks the Great Qian Dynasty, the Great Qian Dynasty will not sit idly by and wait for its demise."
Huang Chao said expressionlessly, "But let me tell you, after this incident, the friendship between me and His Majesty will be completely destroyed, and Hengshan Sect will never be able to get any support from the Great Qian Dynasty again."
even--"
A hint of sorrow flashed deep in his eyes.
"His Majesty promised not to attack the Great Luo Heaven and the Yanfu Sect within ten years, but he did not promise not to attack the Hengshan Sect."
Huang Chao looked at Su Mu and said slowly, "Based on my understanding of His Majesty, he may not directly send troops to Hengshan Sect, but he will definitely use various means to make it impossible for Hengshan Sect to gain a foothold in the Great Qian Dynasty."
Hengshan Sect is over. "
"Sect Master—the Yokoyama Sect is doomed."
Du Man, the Grand Elder of Hengshan Sect, couldn't help but say, "Before this, I had already arranged for the disciples of Hengshan Sect to gradually move to the Great Qian Dynasty."
Huang Chao glared fiercely at Du Man, the Grand Elder of the Hengshan Sect.
I was negotiating with Su Mu, and you're trying to sabotage me.
Which side are you on?
Our friendship of so many years is not as good as your few years of knowing Su Mu?
Du Man, the Grand Elder of the Hengshan Sect, looked aggrieved. "We have known each other for a long time, but Su Mu gave me a second life."
If it weren't for Su Mu, how could I have broken through to the Dao Extreme Realm?
If it weren't for Su Mu, I would have died long ago after my lifespan was exhausted.
Which side do you think I should stand on?
While the two were exchanging glances, Su Mu had already spoken to Lu Yin and the others from the Yanfu Sect.
"A ten-year truce is not meant to make the disciples of the Yanfu Sect give up their hatred for the Great Qian Dynasty, but rather it is because we need to recuperate for ten years."
Su Mu slowly said, "As far as I know, the Yanfu Sect and the Daqian Dynasty have suffered heavy casualties in their battles over the years."
The reason you risked your life to go to the Great Luo Heaven was to find a way to help the Yanfu Sect.
Lu Yin and the others remained silent.
They went to the Great Luo Heaven because of a hope.
Legend has it that the Great Luo Heaven holds a secret to grant immortality. If the Yanfu Sect could grasp this secret, perhaps fewer of its disciples would suffer casualties.
Of course, no one knows what the secret of the Great Luo Heaven is, nor whether it can help the Yanfu Sect.
The term "Yanfu Sect" also implies a desperate attempt to find a cure.
Moreover, the Yanfu Sect did not want the secret of the Great Luo Heaven to fall into the hands of the Great Qian Dynasty.
“You’re right. Over the years, our Yanfu Sect has done everything in its power to fight against the Great Qian Dynasty.”
Lu Yin said in a deep voice, "War is a burden for anyone."
I actually wanted to buy some time for the Yanfu Sect to recuperate, but I couldn't.
You've done it now.
Lu Yin made no attempt to hide his admiration for Su Mu.
"You've already got my vote; the rest are up to the others."
Lu Yin smiled and said.
The three guardians, Azure Dragon, White Tiger, and Vermilion Bird, and even the Yellow King of Hell, all revealed intense fighting spirit on their faces.
Lu Yin was convinced, but they were not.
They are all ready now, and when the inauguration ceremony arrives, they will definitely go on stage to challenge Su Mu.
If Su Mu wants to secure his position as the sect leader of Yanfu Sect, he'll have to get past them first!
…………
Time flies like an arrow; it passes in the blink of an eye.
soon.
The disciples of the Yanfu Sect had already gathered within the territory of the Great Xuan Dynasty.
It's said that all the disciples of the Yanfu Sect have gathered here, but of course, it's impossible for all the disciples of the Yanfu Sect to come here.
Even if the Great Xuan Dynasty could accommodate so many people, the disciples of the Yanfu Sect still have their own places to guard. It's impossible for everyone to disregard everything and rush to participate in the succession ceremony.
Those who truly came to the Great Xuan Dynasty were core disciples of the Yanfu Sect, or rather, "managers" within the Yanfu Sect.
They form the framework of the entire Jambudvipa school.
As long as he can win their respect, Su Mu can control the entire Yanfu Sect, and all his orders will be carried out.
These people number in the thousands.
Moreover, all of these people are quite powerful.
In terms of strength, these few thousand people are enough to sweep through the Great Xuan Dynasty.
However, the people of the Great Xuan Dynasty remained very calm.
When receiving guests from the Yanfu Sect, even the most ordinary soldier maintained a humble yet dignified attitude.
They may not be very strong, but they are very knowledgeable.
Having come from the Saha world to the Great Thousand World, they have seen countless powerful beings.
These people from Yanfu Sect really can't scare them.
In this delicate atmosphere, the ceremony for the succession of the Yanfu Sect's leader finally began.
Lu Yin, the former sect leader of Yanfu Sect, stepped onto the high platform prepared by the Great Xuan Dynasty.
Below the platform, the two groups of people stood clearly separated.
On one side were people from the Great Xuan Dynasty and Hengshan Sect, and on the other side were people from Yanfu Sect.
The old sect leader, Lu Yin, glanced at everyone and couldn't help but feel a little emotional.
On the surface, the people of the Yanfu Sect appear to have higher cultivation levels.
But Lu Yin could tell that, in terms of spirit and energy, the people of the Great Xuan Dynasty were superior.
Or rather, the people of the Great Xuan Dynasty were more energetic.
This youthful vigor is precisely what the disciples of the Yanfu Sect lack most.
To be honest, the disciples of the Yanfu Sect are all people who have lost their country and their families, so it's unrealistic to expect them to have much vitality.
However, Lu Yin still hoped that the disciples of the Yanfu Sect could be happier, instead of wallowing in hatred.
Fighting against the Great Qian Dynasty is one thing; turning oneself into a revenge machine is quite another.
Lu Yin now hopes that Su Mu can lead Yanfu Sect to embark on a completely new path.
"Gentlemen, I am getting old and can no longer shoulder the heavy responsibility of sect leader."
This is the new sect leader I have chosen for the Yanfu Sect.
Lu Yin took a deep breath and said loudly, "According to the rules of the Yanfu Sect, he will accept everyone's challenge here today."
Anyone who disagrees can come up on stage and challenge us, not just in martial arts, but in any other area.
If we lose, you must sincerely acknowledge him as your sect leader from now on; otherwise, I will die with regrets!
"metropolitan!"
The disciples of the Yanfu Sect below the stage all bowed and cried out, their faces filled with grief.
They understood Lu Yin's intention to entrust his son to someone else.
"There's no need for this, everyone. I can live for several more decades. Even if I am no longer the sect leader of Yanfu Sect, I will still be your brother."
Lu Yin said with a smile.
After he finished speaking, he left the platform to Su Mu.
Before Su Mu could speak, a figure had already darted up.
The newcomer was none other than the Azure Dragon Protector, one of the four great protectors of the Yanfu Sect.
The Azure Dragon Protector is the strongest among the four protectors of the Yanfu Sect, and is an outstanding figure even among Dao Realm experts.
He once fought against Huang Chao, the leader of the Hengshan Sect, and the result was a draw.
He also fought against Yang You, the Northern Heavenly King of Da Luo Tian, and the result was the same – a draw.
This is a top-tier expert.
"I knew all along that you were dissatisfied."
Su Mu looked at the Azure Dragon Protector and smiled faintly, "You've been holding back from the Great Luo Heaven until now, haven't you?
"Tell me, do you want to compete with me in martial arts cultivation, or in something else?"
Su Mu's expression was calm and composed, but in the eyes of the Azure Dragon Protector, it was blatant contempt.
When has he, the Azure Dragon Protector, ever been so looked down upon?
He looked at Su Mu and said coldly, "Su Mu, I know you are very strong. In terms of combat strength, I am not confident that I can defeat you."
But what I want to compete with you in is strength.
"Oh?"
Su Mu gave a half-smile.
"You and I will not need cultivation; we will only need the purest physical strength."
The Azure Dragon Protector said in a deep voice, "Do you dare?"
"Azure Dragon Protector, have you forgotten that I also have another identity?"
Su Mu smiled faintly and glanced at Huang Chao, the former sect leader of Hengshan Sect, below the stage.
He also has another identity: the sect leader of the Hengshan Sect.
The Yokoyama Sect is renowned for its body-refining skills; they are the world's most skilled martial artists in cultivating their physical bodies.
The Azure Dragon Protector also followed the path of physical immortality, but it's not necessarily true that he's stronger than the Hengshan Sect. "I know you are the sect leader of the Hengshan Sect."
The Azure Dragon Protector sneered, "The Hengshan Sect's body-refining techniques excel in defense. Your strength may not be greater than mine."
"it is good."
Su Mu said, "Since you are so confident, then I will grant your wish."
As soon as he finished speaking, the White Tiger Guardian, the Vermilion Bird Guardian, and the Yellow Yama King below the stage couldn't help but clench their fists and wave them forcefully.
While strength and cultivation level are related, there are subtle differences between them.
Especially if we don't use cultivation level and only look at pure physical strength, those with higher cultivation level are not necessarily stronger than those with lower cultivation level.
Some people are born with superhuman strength; with the same level of cultivation, their physical strength is simply greater than that of others.
The Azure Dragon Protector is just that kind of person.
Back when the Azure Dragon Protector hadn't even started cultivating, his immense strength was enough to crush low-level martial artists to the ground.
Later, he embarked on the path of physical ascension to sainthood, and his physical strength became increasingly abnormal.
Previously, when he fought against Huang Chao, the former sect leader of Hengshan Sect, he was stronger than Huang Chao.
However, Huang Chao was more resilient and had better skills, which is why the two fought to a draw.
Everyone looked at Su Mu with schadenfreude.
Putting everything else aside, just looking at Su Mu's physique, he doesn't seem like someone who could defeat the Azure Dragon Protector; he's skinny as a feather.
Just then, the Azure Dragon Protector took flight.
Within everyone's sight, he flew to a mountain more than a hundred miles away.
Boom!
The Azure Dragon Protector did not use his true energy or supernatural powers, yet his muscles bulged high, and he possessed the strength to uproot mountains!
He managed to uproot that mountain, which was hundreds of feet high.
The Azure Dragon Guardian roared loudly, his muscles bulging high.
A Dao Realm expert can destroy a mountain with ease, but uprooting a mountain with bare hands without using supernatural martial arts or true essence is something that an ordinary Dao Realm expert cannot do.
The Azure Dragon Guardian held out for a few breaths, then with a loud bang, released the mountain back into the sky.
He swayed and returned to the high platform, looking at Su Mu provocatively.
"That's it?"
Su Mu chuckled to himself. What's the difference between this and children fighting?
"There's no need to make things so complicated by wrestling."
Su Mu said with a smile, "If you can pry my arm off my side while I stand still, then I'll consider myself the loser."
He was too lazy to play those childish games of strength, so he simply reached out his hand to the Azure Dragon Protector.
Huang Chao, the former sect leader of Hengshan Sect, sneered from below the stage.
The Azure Dragon Protector was indeed very strong, but Su Mu had already mastered the Hengshan Body Refining Technique to a high level, and his monstrous strength was beyond even his comprehension.
The Azure Dragon Guardian is essentially heading straight for Su Mu's area of expertise.
What else could it be but bringing shame upon oneself?
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, the Azure Dragon Protector exerted his strength several times, but Su Mu's arm remained completely still.
The Azure Dragon Protector was pale. He finally realized that even in terms of pure strength, he was no match for Su Mu.
The Yanfu Sect disciples, who had been beaming with excitement, suddenly froze, their smiles turning stiff.
However, Lu Yin, the former sect leader of Yanfu Sect, showed a gratified smile on his face.
Since he has already decided to hand over the position of sect leader to Su Mu, then naturally the stronger Su Mu is, the better.
The Azure Dragon Protector's mission was unsuccessful at first, and then another powerful member of the Yanfu Sect jumped onto the high platform.
He took a clever approach and chose to compete with Su Mu in formations.
The art of formations has declined in the vast world, and there are very few practitioners.
Moreover, the art of formations is extremely difficult to master; without sufficient time for practice, it is impossible to achieve anything.
As soon as the Yanfu Sect expert uttered the word "array," the Azure Dragon Protector, White Tiger Protector, Vermilion Bird Protector, and others couldn't help but cover their faces and sigh.
Others may not know, but those who returned from the Great Luo Heaven witnessed Su Mu controlling the Luo Heaven Formation.
Before the two could even begin their duel, several guardians had already spoken up and pulled the powerful Yanfu Sect member back.
Upon hearing the explanations from the protectors, the powerful figure broke out in a cold sweat.
What kind of monster is this new sect leader?
Despite two consecutive defeats, some disciples of the Yanfu Sect still refused to give up.
Several people formed a formation, hoping to win by sheer numbers, but Su Mu broke their formation with a single move and knocked them off the stage.
Some were arrogant about their weapon-making skills and challenged Su Mu to a weapon-making contest, but after witnessing Su Mu's mastery of weapon-making, they were immediately humbled and submitted.
Some are skilled in alchemy, some are knowledgeable, and some have a wide range of martial arts skills...
One after another, disciples of the Yanfu Sect stepped onto the stage.
But no matter what the competition was, Su Mu dealt with it all with ease.
He was almost omnipotent, and in the end, the disciples of the Yanfu Sect dared not go on stage.
Even seasoned Dao Realm experts like Lu Yin and Huang Chao wore expressions of disbelief.
They had heard some rumors about Su Mu before, but they all thought that rumors were mostly unreliable.
But now they realize just how wrong the rumors were.
Su Mu is even more monstrous than the rumors suggest.
They simply couldn't imagine how Su Mu, at such a young age, could cultivate so many things while still reaching the Dao Realm in martial arts.
Is it really because God favors him?
No one could understand it.
However, everyone could understand that Su Mu's position as the sect leader of Yanfu Sect was now firmly secured.
The numerous disciples of the Yanfu Sect below the stage were completely convinced.
Those skilled in weapon forging and alchemy, in particular, were eager to become Su Mu's disciples.
Those geniuses whom Su Mu brought out from the Great Luo Heaven also saw Su Mu unleashing his full power for the first time.
They were originally subdued by Su Mu, and now they revere Su Mu as a god.
They now realize how shallow it was to have been called geniuses before.
They now know what a true genius is!
Compared to Su Mu, they were like fireflies compared to the sun and moon.
"If none of you brothers have any objections, then I, Su, will gladly accept the position of sect leader."
Su Mu looked at the crowd below the stage, cupped his hands in greeting, and began to speak.
"If any of you brothers are still dissatisfied, you can stand up and speak. Today, I, Su, will have a proper discussion with you."
But after today, I do not wish for any further objections from you to my orders.
If anyone disobeys orders, then don't blame me for disregarding brotherly affection."
"I will obey the orders of the sect leader."
The members of the Yanfu Sect below the stage exchanged glances and said in unison.
Even the Azure Dragon Guardian, White Tiger Guardian, and Vermilion Bird Guardian lowered their proud heads.
They also sincerely acknowledged that Su Mu was indeed qualified and capable of being the sect leader of the Yanfu Sect.
They had never seen anyone so omnipotent.
Even the old sect leader, in some ways, is no match for Su Mu.
Even if Su Mu's cultivation level is slightly lower than that of the old sect master, Su Mu is young.
When Su Mu reaches the age of the old sect leader, he may even be a Tai Chu Realm expert.
No one doubted the possibility of this.
Seeing that he had subdued everyone, Su Mu's face showed a satisfied expression.
He gently placed his hands on the ground and spoke slowly.
"My first order is that my Yanfu Sect and the Great Qian Dynasty shall cease hostilities for ten years."
Su Mu said loudly, "I know that you brothers have an irreconcilable hatred for the Great Qian Dynasty and wish you could overthrow it immediately."
This sect leader also dislikes Emperor Qian's domineering and cruel behavior.
However, we must admit that the Great Qian Dynasty was powerful, and overthrowing it would not be so easy.
A ten-year truce allowed us to pull back our fists, so that when we strike again, our power and speed will be greater.
He paused for a moment, then continued, "Anyone who disobeys orders and attacks the Great Qian Dynasty will be punished as a traitor!"
His voice wasn't very loud, but it reached everyone's ears clearly.
The disciples of Yanfu Sect looked at each other. Although they were still somewhat unwilling, they had already witnessed Su Mu's strength, and now none of them dared to disobey Su Mu's orders.
"Sect Master, what if the Great Qian Dynasty attacks us?"
A disciple of the Yanfu Sect couldn't help but shout loudly.
"The Great Qian Dynasty has agreed to a ten-year truce."
Su Mu said slowly, "If they break the agreement first, then your retaliation is naturally not considered disobeying orders."
"During these ten years, my Yanfu Sect needs to recuperate and rebuild. I, the sect leader, have decided that, starting today, all disciples of the Yanfu Sect will take turns entering the Yanfu Secret Realm for trials. Everyone will have a turn, and everyone will benefit equally."
Su Mu continued.
This sentence caused an uproar below, and all the disciples of Yanfu Sect showed excitement on their faces.
Entering the Yanfu Secret Realm for trials was previously an privilege reserved only for disciples who had made great contributions.
"Sect Master, you absolutely mustn't!"
Just then, the old sect leader, Lu Yin, spoke with a solemn expression. (End of Chapter)
