Chapter 334: Chapter 205: Lady Concubine

A figure dove down from over a hundred feet up, crashing into the ground with a loud BOOM. It tumbled dozens of times before finally dissipating the force of the impact.

"Cough, cough!"

Su Mu picked himself up, covered in dust and dirt.

If it weren’t for his Indestructible Golden Body, that fall probably would have left him with broken bones and torn ligaments.

Brushing the dust off his clothes, Su Mu replayed the recent events in his mind, pretending not to hear the chuckling coming from nearby.

He just chalked it up to Xu Chongyuan’s envy.

’Laugh all you want. Who cares? I can fly now!’

The Profound Soldier Wind and Thunder Wings, once activated, would transform into a pair of wings on the user’s back.

These wings could turn into sharp blades to attack enemies, or they could function like real wings, allowing the user to fly!

This was why Yang Changfeng had said that even if Su Mu encountered danger in the Demon Court, the Wind and Thunder Wings would be enough to save his life.

The ability to fly!

After all, even among Tier Five Demons, most were incapable of flight.

Just like human Martial Artists, only those at the Peak of Nascent Soul possessed the ability to fly.

Barring certain demons born with wings, an ordinary Tier Five Demon could not fly unless it was at the Tier Five Peak.

And the Demon Court didn’t have many Tier Five Peak demons.

With the ability to fly, very few demons in the Demon Court could actually catch Su Mu.

However, while the Wind and Thunder Wings granted flight, they were extremely difficult to control.

The first time Su Mu used the Wind and Thunder Wings, he failed to control his speed and ended up crashing right into the Hujue Pass Taiping Government Office, causing walls to collapse.

After that incident, Su Mu had taken to practicing with the Wind and Thunder Wings outside the city.

For the Wind and Thunder Wings, the left was wind and the right was thunder. By infusing them with the Xun Wind Realm and the Thunder Shock Realm, one could unleash speeds as fast as wind and thunder.

That speed was more than ten times his own top speed.

With these Wind and Thunder Wings, Su Mu’s chances of survival would indeed increase dramatically.

The prerequisite, however, was that Su Mu had to completely master the Wind and Thunder Wings.

Otherwise, what if he lost control and flew straight into an enemy’s lair? That would be game over.

Also, if he flew too fast, lost control of his direction, and crashed into something, he’d be a laughingstock to his enemies. 𝑓𝑟ℯℴ𝓂

"Junior Brother Su, maybe you should just give up. Stop practicing."

Xu Chongyuan sidled up, unable to hold back a laugh as he spoke.

He figured he was the only one who had ever seen Su Mu in such a sorry state.

"I know why now."

Su Mu said.

Before the words had even left his mouth, two wings unfurled from his back with a SWISH.

The wings looked as if they were composed of countless small blades. A powerful gale swirled around the left one, while the right one flickered with lightning.

WHOOSH!

The wings flapped once.

Su Mu shot into the sky.

Then, Xu Chongyuan watched as Su Mu’s figure danced through the air, flitting up and down, left and right.

A moment later, a strong gust of wind swept by, and Su Mu slowly descended from the sky, landing perfectly in front of him.

Xu Chongyuan’s eyes widened, and he couldn’t help but swallow hard.

’He actually mastered it?’

’Just a moment ago he was crashing to the ground in a pathetic heap, and now he’s already this proficient?’

Watching the wings on Su Mu’s back slowly retract, Xu Chongyuan’s face filled with envy.

’He can fly.’

It was something countless Martial Artists dreamed of.

But for the vast majority of Martial Artists, achieving flight was a realm they would never reach in their entire lives.

Su Mu was only in the Rebirth Realm, yet he already possessed the ability to fly. Countless people would die of envy if they knew.

"Junior Brother Su, how long can you fly with those Wind and Thunder Wings?"

Xu Chongyuan asked curiously.

"With my current Cultivation, about the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, at most."

Su Mu said.

The Wind and Thunder Wings required the simultaneous use of the Xun Wind Realm and the Thunder Shock Realm to be controlled.

The Xun Wind Realm was one thing, as Su Mu had already cultivated it to the level of Great Accomplishment.

But his Thunder Shock Realm was only at the entry level.

The two realms were mismatched, which was why he kept having problems controlling the Wind and Thunder Wings before.

...

By the time Su Mu and Xu Chongyuan returned to Hujue Pass from outside the city, the diplomatic envoy had finally arrived.

The mission’s Chief Envoy, Zhu Jiuyuan, was a white-haired old man who looked to be in his seventies or eighties and seemed unsteady on his feet as he walked.

After the two parties exchanged greetings, Zhu Jiuyuan’s eyelids drooped, and he looked drowsy.

"My apologies, Captain Su. My master is advanced in years, and the continuous travel has taken a toll on his energy."

A young man beside Zhu Jiuyuan said to Su Mu.

"It’s no matter."

Su Mu said coolly. "However, the itinerary still requires Mr. Zhu’s decision."

"The itinerary is already set. We will rest at Hujue Pass for one day and then set off."

the young man said. "After we leave the pass, the envoy’s security will be in your hands, Captain Su."

"It is my duty. I will naturally do my utmost."

Su Mu said.

The diplomatic envoy was not large this time.

Besides Zhu Jiuyuan, there were about a dozen clerks, none of whom had any combat ability.

Then there were the Taiping Captains and a squad of accompanying soldiers, totaling forty to fifty people.

Including Su Mu, there were twenty Taiping Captains in total.

It wasn’t a huge number, but it wasn’t a small one either.

The Taiping Captains were the backbone of the Taiping Bureau. As the main force stationed to guard the various regions of Da Xuan, being able to spare twenty of them for a diplomatic mission was already no easy feat.

More soldiers could have been assigned, but it was said that Zhu Jiuyuan had refused them.

He felt that since this was a diplomatic mission for peace talks, there was no need to bring too many people.

In truth, when venturing deep into the Demon Court, there was no real difference between one hundred and two hundred people.

If nothing went wrong, everyone would be fine.

If something did go wrong, having a hundred more people would just mean a hundred more deaths.
