Chapter 1917 - 700: Taoist Master

Before meeting, Su Mo had speculated several times about the leader of the Imperial Dao.

But now, seeing the one gradually walking towards Weiyang Palace.

It still felt somewhat unexpected.

This person is at least over sixty years old, yet there was no hunchbacked demeanor.

With a tall and robust build, a face full of sharp features, and a gray-white mixed beard.

However, it was well-groomed, not appearing untidy.

A pair of eyes like copper bells, gleaming with divine light, deeply authoritative.

Clearly, a temperament cultivated from years of holding a high position.

He wore a thin green robe, yet couldn’t hide a body full of sinewy muscles, making him appear awkwardly bulky under the clothes.

As Su Mo scrutinized this person’s skills, the person had already reached inside Weiyang Palace.

His gaze swept across everyone present, finally landing on Su Mo.

His eyes were full of a sense of vicissitudes of life.

Finally, he knelt down in front of Weiyang Palace as if collapsing a golden mountain.

This kneeling instantly changed the complexion of everyone present.

The Imperial Dao and the Jinglong Association had been adversaries for many years, both were enormous organizations.

Looking across the Tianxia martial jianghu, the Taoist Master of the Imperial Dao and the First Shock of the Jinglong Association are truly standing at the pinnacle of the Jianghu.

This person came to pay respects to Su Mo, already lowering his stance.

Who would have thought that upon entering the hall, before Su Mo could speak, he would kneel down with a thud?

This was not just lowering his stance, but rather driving it into the mud, highlighting Su Mo’s elevated position.

For a moment, some in the venue were bewildered, but some recalled Qu Hongzhuang’s term of address for Su Mo.

Their hearts seemed to come to an understanding.

At that moment, they heard the Taoist Master of the Imperial Dao speak in a deep voice:

"Long Xingyun, Great Commander of the Imperial Dao, pays respects to Your Highness!!"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone present couldn’t help but look at Su Mo.

Su Mo, however, slightly furrowed his brows:

"What is the Taoist Master doing?"

"Paying respects to Your Highness!"

Long Xingyun’s voice was like a loud bell, sincere in attitude.

Su Mo’s expression was rather peculiar:

"Where did this ’Your Highness’ come from?"

"You are Your Highness!"

Long Xingyun lowered his head, seemingly not daring to look at Su Mo’s face, only speaking in a deep voice:

"You are the Da Xuan Imperial Family’s descendant.

"Of noble bloodline, the rightful heir to the world!

"The only bloodline of Da Xuan in today’s world.

"If you are not Your Highness, then who is?"

The descendant of the Da Xuan Imperial Family!

Upon hearing this, everyone suddenly realized.

Unexpectedly, Su Mo had such an identity.

In an instant, everyone had different considerations in their hearts.

This identity is no small matter.

Although Da Xuan fell hundreds of years ago, the influence it brought to the Jianghu world is too deep.

Even today, the rumors of the Mysterious Mechanism and Da Xuan’s Armory still persist in the Jianghu.

Further, there is a legend... he who gains Da Xuan gains the world!

Now that Su Mo’s identity as a descendant of the Da Xuan Imperial Family was publicly revealed by Long Xingyun, naturally, those present could not remain calm.

Looking at Su Mo’s current power.

Nanhai is needless to say, he is the Nanhai Supreme, high above.

Although Xizhou has just established the Jianghu Alliance, it was mainly to counter the Jinglong Association.

However... no matter what the purpose of the opposition is.

The framework of the Jianghu Alliance has already been set up, all are under Su Mo’s command.

If he really thinks of seizing the world.

Among these people, the majority would probably follow him.

After all, this man’s martial arts are supreme, and his intelligence is exceptional.

If he succeeds, the merit of following the dragon would be resplendent!

Looking again at the attitude of the Imperial Dao.

He claims to be the Great Commander of the Imperial Dao, a title not seen for a long time, clearly reminiscent of the old system.

The origin of the Imperial Dao needs no further explanation.

In this way, Su Mo already controls three parts of the world, with only Donghuang remaining.

Yet Su Mo is the number one expert in Donghuang.

In that instant, some were fearful.

Afraid that Su Mo would walk the old path of Da Xuan, born in the Jianghu, yet harming it.

Ultimately, with no room for the Jianghu in his heart!

Others were full of joy and excitement.

Su Mo, however, gently shook his head:

"Da Xuan perished hundreds of years ago, who is the descendant of the Da Xuan Imperial Family, and where is the proof?

"It’s mere words.

"The Taoist Master is a guest from afar, let us not speak of these irrelevant things.

"Take a seat."

As he gestured with his hand, the chaotic thoughts in the venue instantly calmed down.

Indeed.

No matter what Su Mo’s identity is, the key is to see what Su Mo wants to do.

Moreover, the Imperial Dao is still the Imperial Dao.

One cannot assume that because Long Xingyun called himself the ’Great Commander’ and addressed Su Mo as ’Your Highness,’ he is Su Mo’s subordinate.

This is ultimately an organization that can be compared to the Jinglong Association.

Cannot be underestimated.

Long Xingyun glanced around, letting out a light chuckle:

"In front of Your Highness, where is there a seat for a subordinate?

"Standing is just fine."

Su Mo glanced at him, also smiling:

"That is not the way to treat a guest.

"If word gets out, won’t people laugh at Su for not knowing manners?"

"This..."

Long Xingyun seemed troubled, his brow tightly knit:

"But if I were to take a seat before Your Highness without authorization.

"If word gets out, it would be a capital offense."

Su Mo quietly observed him for a couple of seconds, Long Xingyun did not dare to meet Su Mo’s eyes, yet insisted on standing where he was.

After a moment, Su Mo laughed:

"As you wish."

"Thank you, Your Highness."

Long Xingyun seemed to let out a great sigh of relief.

Then Su Mo said:

"I have heard that the Imperial Dao holds significant power in Beichuan.
