"Oh, it's the Saintess of Taishang Dao, the number one talented girl in Jade Capital, Miss Su Mu? Why are you here in Wu Yuansheng for no reason? Aren't you in Jade Capital's Flower Scattering Brothel thousands of miles away? I didn't expect Miss Su Mu to remember me. "
Hong Yi had long sensed that when he was dealing with the Ajati Matriarch, there was a strong force rushing towards his direction. Initially, he thought it was an enemy, so he was on guard. However, he did not expect the enemy to appear to be someone he could not have imagined.
Su Mu, whom he had met once.
Perhaps Su Mu did not have a deep impression of Hong Yi.
However, Hong Yi had a deep impression of Su Mu.
It was not because of Su Mu's beauty, but because of her identity as the Saintess of Taishang Dao. His mother was the previous generation's Saintess of Taishang Dao. Of course, Hong Yi would remember Su Mu deeply.
To Hong Yi, Taishang Dao, which was the world's strongest sect with a small number of people, had always been a mystery. When he was escaping on the sea and cultivating, he heard about the five top experts chasing after the Monogatari. He even used the name of Taishang Dao when he was dealing with the Grand Marshal Yan Zhen of the Pacification Navy.
In this life, Hong Yi was destined to have an indissoluble bond with Taishang Dao, the world's number one mysterious sect.
Therefore, when he saw Su Mu, Hong Yi immediately reacted.
"Hmm? Hong Yi. You know me? We met once in Flower Scattering Brothel. However, you know that I'm the Saintess of Taishang Dao! Not many people know my identity. "
Su Mu was stunned when she heard Hong Yi's words. Her eyes were fixed on Arachnida Gigantea and not Hong Yi. However, her words were fixed on Hong Yi.
Not many people knew her identity as the Saintess of Taishang Dao.
"Haha, haha." Hong Yi's eyes were on Su Mu's face, as if there was something strange on her face. After looking for a while, he suddenly burst into laughter.
Hearing Hong Yi's laughter, Su Mu's face didn't change at all.
Suddenly, she nodded at Arachnida Gigantea and said in a slow tone, "So you are not a Lightning Tribulation expert, but you have completely refined the soul of a Lightning Tribulation expert, and then absorbed the power of his soul, turning yourself into a Pure Yang. You haven't broken through to the Ghost Immortal Realm yet, but you're only half a step away! Your spirit is tough and there's an unyielding will like that of an ancient God of War. It's precisely because of this unyielding will that you've strengthened your nature and allowed you to subdue the spirit of a Lightning Retribution expert in the end. Otherwise, with your own cultivation, you wouldn't be able to control the spirit of a Lightning Retribution expert. If he forcefully absorbed the pure Yang energy, it would wear down his Yin Spirit, and eventually, he would run out of energy! The Unyielding Will of the Ancient God of War, you must have consumed the blood of the Evil God of the Essence Temple! "
"What a big move, what a big move! First refining the spirit of a Lightning Tribulation expert, then using the peerless elixir of the Essence Temple to strengthen his nature and subdue the pure Yang energy, turning a person who hasn't cultivated to the Ghost Immortal Realm into a person who is close to the Lightning Tribulation realm. What a good move. I didn't expect that there would be such a big move in the world other than the Sect Leader. Really not simple. "
Su Mu looked at Arachnida Gigantea and spoke slowly, which made Hong Yi more and more surprised.
However, Hong Yi was an extremely shrewd person who didn't show his emotions on his face. Of course, he wouldn't show it on his face.
"This Saintess of the Taishang Path has eyes that can see through the Nine Serenities. Just one look and she knows so many things! And she didn't even split her thoughts to entangle him! This person's Dao technique realm is really high. No wonder she's a saintess from a sect that has dominated the world for thousands of years. She's countless times stronger than that Daluo saintess, Zhao Feirong. "
Hong Yi's mind was fluctuating as thoughts rose one after another.
Compared to the Daluo saintess, Zhao Feirong, compared to this Saintess of the Taishang Path, Su Mu, it was like comparing a village girl to a royal princess.
In the past, Hong Yi thought that among the young talents in the world, people like Yao Yueru and Yao Yueting from Yaochi school, as well as Shin Yu-seng and Zhao Feirong, were all outstanding talents. But now, after seeing the temperament and eyes of this Saintess of the Taishang Path, Hong Yi knew that those people in front of him weren't worth mentioning at all.
Now, it was hard for Hong Yi to tell what level Su Mu's cultivation was at just based on his senses.
Moreover, when Su Mu flew over just now, there was no trace of her. Suddenly, a crack appeared in the space. This was obviously a supreme treasure like the Creation Gourd and Cosmos Sack! It could break through the void and teleport.
However, Hong Yi wasn't too surprised. That was because with the strength of the Taishang Path, it would be strange if they didn't have any treasures like the Mini Chiliocosm.
After all, the reputation of the Daizen Temple was slightly inferior to that of the Taishang Path.
"What were you laughing at just now?" After Su Mu said a series of words and pointed out Arachnida Gigantea's cultivation, she turned her eyes and asked Hong Yi.
"Miss Su Mu hasn't answered my question. Why did you come all the way to Wu Yuansheng's place? Right now, in the Flower Dispersing House, there should be Langya's tent, Treasure Cauldron Charcoal, and Ambergris burning. That kind of soft jade, warm fragrance, and rich land. Instead of enjoying it, you came to Wu Yuansheng's prison cell. You seem to have specially come to look for me? May I know why Miss Su Mu is looking for me? "
Hong Yi didn't answer but asked back.
"Of course I have something to tell you. In Wu Yuansheng City, you destroyed the altars of the Lifeless Path and the True Void Path. You also captured the cult leaders and ruined the plans of the Crown Prince Yang Yuan. The Crown Prince is the true mastermind of the Lifeless Path and the True Void Path. When he finds out about this, he will definitely send experts to kill you. Of course, I'm here to save you. "
As Su Mu spoke, her breath emitted a faint fragrance in the cold night sky. It seemed like even the strange smell coming from below the prison cell had been cleared.
"Oh? Miss Su Mu is actually here to save me? Isn't the Taishang Path always forgets about emotions? Why would you come to save me? "Hong Yi smiled indifferently.
"From your words, there seems to be some resentment." Su Mu looked at Hong Yi without any expression on her face. "The Taishang forgets about emotions is just a random act. Since I'm interested, I'll naturally save you. If I'm not interested, I won't save you."
"I wonder which part of me attracted Miss Su Mu's interest?" Hong Yi asked again.
"Of course it's your mother, Meng Bingyun, and your father, Hong Xuanji. But now, your cultivation has piqued my interest. "Su Mu's words didn't contain any embellishments.
"My mother used to be the Saintess of the previous generation of the Taishang Path. She's also the younger sister of the current Taishang Path Sect Leader, Monogatari. Because of this bit of fate, you became interested in saving me. "Hong Yi still had a smile on his face. In the cold night wind, he appeared to be speaking with fervor and assurance.
"Fate has long ended. Moreover, the Taishang Path doesn't care about fate. We only care about our own freedom and we won't be bound by fate. To put it simply, I'm not interested. Even if you're my kin, I won't save you because of that. " Su Mu said, "Hong Yi, there's a bit of resentment in your words just now. You're still brooding over the fact that your mother died of depression in Marquis Wu Wen's residence. The Taishang Path didn't save her, right? Actually, back then, your mother fell in love with you and even destroyed the grand plan of the Taishang Path. She caused many of the sect leader's plans to fail. That's already a betrayal of the sect. Therefore, everything that Senior Sister Bingyun did was her own choice. She can't blame anyone else. "
"She entrusted her entire life to the wrong person." When Hong Yi heard Su Mu's evaluation of his mother, his expression didn't change in the slightest. He only said one sentence, "As a son, I don't dare to evaluate my mother's wrongdoings regarding the grudge between the Supreme Dao and my mother. What the Supreme Dao did wasn't wrong, so I don't have any resentment towards him. If the Taishang Path can't even see through this little bit of fate, they wouldn't be worthy of the six sacred grounds. However, my mother was murdered and I have no choice but to take revenge. "
"Whether you take revenge or not, it's naturally up to you." Su Mu said, "Senior Sister Bingyun is a very bitter person. As her son, I also feel good that you took revenge for her. Today, I came to save you out of interest. However, from the looks of it, you seemed to have finished off your opponent after a battle just now, right? "
"That's right!" Hong Yi smiled. However, no matter how one looked at it, this smile was a little insincere.
"Your strength has actually grown to such an extent?" Su Mu didn't ask what realm Hong Yi's cultivation had reached. Instead, he nodded his head, "Your strength is not bad and there seem to be some strange people around you. Moreover, you've submitted to Prince Yu and want to make use of the imperial court's fight for the throne to take revenge for your mother. Since that's the case, I don't mind asking you a few questions. Are you clear about the current situation in the imperial court? You have to know that in such a huge matter like the fight for the throne, even the slightest mistake would cause you to fall into it and be consigned to eternal damnation. "
"The imperial court's situation? Right now, the imperial court's situation and the Crown Prince's power is too great. If nothing goes wrong, his position would naturally be unshakable. However, right now, he's actually associating with an evil sect and cultivating supernatural powers. This is a huge taboo! It's not tolerated by the court officials. If it's leaked out, let alone the position of the Crown Prince, I don't even know if I can protect my life. He's violated the rules between the imperial court and the court officials. This is a fatal move! It can be said that his position in his lifetime is ruined! With the Crown Prince gone, there's only Prince Yu and Prince Heqing left in the imperial court. Prince Heqing looks gentle, but his heart is sinister and vicious! He definitely doesn't look like a ruler. Therefore, the imperial court's situation will definitely be biased towards Prince Yu. It won't be difficult for Prince Yu to seize the throne! "
Hong Yi spoke with fervor and assurance. In just a few words, he had thoroughly analyzed the imperial court's situation. At the same time, it also showed the impact of his words.
When ordinary people heard his words, they would almost think that he was the one in control of the imperial court.
"What a good eloquence. As a scholar, Hong Yi, you're really good at it." When Su Mu heard Hong Yi's words, she couldn't help but smile playfully.
"Prince Yu is clearly the weakest and the one with the least hope of seizing the throne. Now that you've said it, it's actually within reach!"
Hong Yi's face twitched again and he asked, "Since Miss Su Mu thinks that Prince Yu is the one with the least hope, I wonder who Su Mu has in mind?"
After saying that, Hong Yi's eyes stared straight at Su Mu.
There was no reason for Hong Yi not to stare at Su Mu. This was because from her words, he could see the true attitude of the Supreme Path towards the Da Qian court. With the support of the world's number one like the Monogatari, it's certain that they would gain an advantage in any aspect.
Just as Hong Yi was waiting for Su Mu to speak, he didn't expect that Su Mu would spit out a name that he would never have thought of.
"My Supreme Path's candidate is the Champion Marquis."
Su Mu only said these words, but Hong Yi was stunned. Then, he actually laughed out loud!
"You think that the Champion Marquis has no chance of seizing the throne?" Su Mu saw Hong Yi laughing out loud and asked without batting an eyelid.
"Of course not! The Champion Marquis is just a Marquis and a general leading an army. How can he be qualified to interfere in the fight for the throne? " Hong Yi looked at Su Mu, "Miss Su Mu, you can't be thinking that the Champion Marquis can interfere in the fight for the throne just because he is the illegitimate son of the Emperor, right? You have to know that illegitimate children cannot be seen in public. How can the officials of the imperial court, the scholars, and the doctors acknowledge an illegitimate son? Even if the Crown Prince, Prince Yu, and Prince Yu were all dead, it wouldn't be this person's turn. If this person can seize the throne, it would be a change of dynasty. "
"With the support of my Supreme Path, everything that is impossible will become possible. Hong Yi, you probably haven't interacted with the Champion Marquis before. This person is indeed a great strategist. Not only is he good at leading troops to war, he also has his own unique views on the development of the people's livelihood. Sect Master has already met him once and felt that many of his strange ideas are very interesting. Hong Yi, go and meet him. He will definitely be able to overturn your own views. As for Prince Yu, as a Wang Ye, he is not bad. However, his ability is too weak to seize the throne. "
Su Mu spoke quietly, as if the imperial court's power was just an interesting game to her.
"Miss Su Mu, you mean that you want me to rely on the Champion Marquis and stand on his side in order to obtain future riches and honor?" Hong Yi suddenly asked.
"Of course, if you want to deal with Hong Xuanji, you won't be able to rely on your own ability without joining forces. Your strength is not bad now. Assisting Prince Yu is just wearing down your own strength. Once you come into contact with the Champion Marquis, you will naturally have a higher chance of revenge. "Su Mu said.
"Hmph! If the name is not right, the words will not be justified. An illegitimate son of the Champion Marquis dares to covet the treasure? What a joke! I am the illegitimate son of Marquis Wu Wen's residence. No matter how strong my dao techniques are, I will not fight for the Marquis's family property. This is the same logic. If Miss Su Mu is here to persuade me to rely on the Champion Marquis, then there is no need to say anything. If your Supreme Path really supports the Champion Marquis in the future, even if he succeeds in usurping the throne, I will let Prince Yu summon the world to suppress the traitors! "
All of a sudden, Hong Yi sneered.
"Oh? How arrogant of you. "
Su Mu looked at Hong Yi calmly.
"Whether I am arrogant or not, Su Mu, why don't you give it a try? How about we play a few dao techniques? "Hong Yi said indifferently.
