Strength was the most useful passport, no matter where one was.
The Haotian Island was loosely managed. The rules might be useful to others, but to people like Chu Xiu, they were basically useless.
Thus, Elder Feng only left a few pleasantries before disappearing. Even the Young Master of the Huo Family dejectedly returned to continue sending out invitations. He no longer felt the heartache over the Clear Dust Pearl that he had yet to obtain.
Xiao Ziqi came over and cupped his hands in gratitude. "Thank you, Senior, for helping me get rid of this traitor. I am very grateful."
Chu Xiu waved his hand casually and said, "You don't have to be so polite. It's just a deal. Don't forget what you promised me."
Xiao Ziqi nodded and said, "Don't worry, I will take the two of you to the Fifth Lord Huo's birthday celebration in a few days."
In fact, Xiao Ziqi was also very puzzled.
He could see that the two of them were experts in the True Fire Spirit-Refining Realm. There were only a few experts at this level in the overseas region. Why would such people come to the Fifth Lord Huo's birthday celebration? Could it be that the Fifth Lord Huo's reputation was so great that it could affect the experts in the Central Plains?
Although Xiao Ziqi was puzzled, he did not ask much. He just invited Chu Xiu and Yi Boxun to wait at his residence.
At this time, Yi Boxun suddenly asked Chu Xiu through voice transmission, "Official Chu, I don't think there's anything special about this Xiao Ziqi. Why did you choose to help him instead of Lin Tsung-yip? Is it because you hate traitors, Official Chu? "
Yi Boxun could see that Chu Xiu had killed someone casually because of the invitation.
Therefore, it didn't matter who he killed just now. If he helped Lin Tsung-yip kill Xiao Ziqi, he would still get the invitation.
Chu Xiu shook his head gently and said, "I don't hate traitors. In fact, many people in the Jianghu say that I, Chu Xiu, am a traitor. It's not the first time I've betrayed my master.
Although I don't hate traitors, I don't want to cooperate with idiots.
Lin Tsung-yip was too useless. He thought himself clever and was greedy.
According to him, he had been in charge of all the affairs of the Long Gorge Island for so many years, while Xiao Ziqi only focused on cultivation. Therefore, even if he was not the Island Lord, his prestige must be higher than Xiao Ziqi's.
This matter could have been carried out step by step. He could have secretly schemed to make the entire Long Gorge Island fall out with Xiao Ziqi and ruin his reputation. Then, he would be 'forced' to become the Island Lord.
But in the end, Lin Tsung-yip insisted on taking it by force. Obviously, he was a greedy and stupid guy.
All humans are greedy. I can cooperate with greedy people, and I can tolerate greed, but I can't tolerate a greedy idiot. "
Hearing Chu Xiu's words, Yi Boxun broke out in a cold sweat.
Lin Tsung-yip was lucky to have met Xiao Ziqi, a guy who only had strength but had no experience in scheming.
If he had met Chu Xiu, he would have been cheated until not even his bones were left. Of course, not even his bones were left now.
At this moment, a voice suddenly rang out.
"I didn't expect to meet the famous Official Chu in the East Sea, as well as Sect Leader Yi Boxun of the The Sixth Demon Sect. What an honor."
Chu Xiu and Yi Boxun both looked back in surprise. They didn't expect someone to recognize them in a place like this.
The speaker was a middle-aged man in purple with an extraordinary aura.
This middle-aged man also had the strength of the True Fire Spirit-Refinement realm. His aura was condensed and abnormally dense.
Seeing Chu Xiu and Yi Boxun, he greeted them with cupped hands. Every move he made was filled with a sense of grandeur.
Before Chu Xiu and Yi Boxun could ask, the man took the initiative and said, "I am Pak Dong-lai. I run some small businesses in the East Sea. It's normal that you haven't heard of me."
Yi Boxun smiled and said, "Tianyishui Hall Pavilion Master, 'Purple Air from the East' Pak Dong-lai is famous. Who doesn't know of him? Moreover, if Tianyishui Hall is only a small business, then all the shops in the East Sea can only be described as street stalls. "
As Yi Boxun said this, he secretly introduced Pak Dong-lai to Chu Xiu.
This person was born in the wilderness. In his early years, he brought a few small boats to the Windbreaker Sea in search of treasures and opportunities.
After he accumulated some savings, he built Tianyishui Hall on various islands in the East Sea. He sold all kinds of rare treasures, weapons, elixirs, cultivation methods, ancient books, and so on. At the same time, he also bought some resources from rogue cultivators.
Because Pak Dong-lai's Tianyishui Hall was fair and honest, even when he bought some items from rogue cultivators, he would try his best to give a higher price. Therefore, in the East Sea, Pak Dong-lai had a good reputation.
Moreover, he was a righteous person. If anyone encountered difficulties and asked for help from Tianyishui Hall, as long as it was not too excessive, the Tianyishui Hall on each island would help as much as possible.
Although there were some people who took advantage of him, most people were grateful to him.
In short, this person was also a big shot in the East Sea.
Pak Dong-lai asked, "Both of you are big shots in the Central Plains Warriors. May I know why you have come to the East Sea this time?"
Chu Xiu smiled and said, "I have long heard of the name of the Fifth Lord Huo of the East Sea Supreme Island. This time, we have come to congratulate the Fifth Lord Huo on his birthday."
Pak Dong-lai only smiled and said, "That's great. I will also attend the Fifth Lord Huo's birthday. We will see you then. If the two of you don't mind, after the Fifth Lord Huo's birthday, you can also come to my Tianyishui Hall as a guest. "
After exchanging some pleasantries, Pak Dong-lai turned and left.
After Pak Dong-lai left, Yi Boxun asked, "Official Chu, what do you think of this person?"
Chu Xiu said calmly, "He seems to be generous and forthright, but in fact, he is very thoughtful and knows his limits."
They were both experienced and astute people. Pak Dong-lai might be able to deceive others, but he could not deceive Chu Xiu.
Since the other party knew them, he should have noticed Chu Xiu when Chu Xiu stood out to kill people. In the end, he only came out after Chu Xiu killed the people and Feng was scared away. He pretended to be surprised and did not want to get involved in trouble.
Moreover, Chu Xiu said that he had only come to celebrate the Fifth Lord Huo's birthday. Even an idiot would not believe him.
If Pak Dong-lai was really generous and forthright, he would definitely flick his sleeves and leave on the spot.
However, he seemed to really believe it and did not even say a word of doubt.
Moreover, he could also guess that Chu Xiu was wary of him. Therefore, after exchanging a few pleasantries, he turned around and left. He did not continue to be entangled here. That was why Chu Xiu said that he knew his limits.
Yi Boxun said with a smile, "Pak Dong-lai has a good reputation in this area of the Breeze Sea. I don't think many people will believe what you said about him."
Chu Xiu said expressionlessly, "Those who really believe in it are either those inexperienced youths, or they're really stupid. Pak Dong-lai has such strength now and his Tianyishui Hall has such influence now. If this person is not scheming enough, I'm afraid he would have been tricked to death long ago. "
Although that was what he said, Chu Xiu did not care about Pak Dong-lai.
He did not have any enmity towards Chu Xiu and Yi Boxun. He was just curious and testing them out. He wanted to make friends with them.
The two of them were big shots among the Central Plains Warriors. In particular, Chu Xiu had suddenly come to the East Sea. As long as someone recognized them, it would definitely arouse suspicion. Therefore, it was not strange for Pak Dong-lai to test them out.
Moreover, for people like Pak Dong-lai, networking and other things had almost become a habit. When he met Chu Xiu and Yi Boxun, two experts who did not have a direct conflict of interest with him, he subconsciously wanted to get to know them. Even if he could not help him, it was still good to have such connections.
The two of them followed Xiao Ziqi to his residence on Haotian Island. A few days later, when the birthday of the Fifth Lord Huo began, they were ready to leave.
During this period of time, Xiao Ziqi had indeed suspected that Chu Xiu and Yi Boxun insisted on attending the birthday of the Fifth Lord Huo. He wondered if they had ulterior motives and whether they would implicate him.
However, Xiao Ziqi dared not ask or say these things.
If it were not for Chu Xiu, his foundation would have been occupied by Lin Tsung-yip.
Of course, the most important thing was that based on how easily Chu Xiu killed Lin Tsung-yip as if he was crushing an ant, Xiao Ziqi had no doubt that he would end up the same if he did anything.
Before Xiao Ziqi reached the Real Pellet State, his father told him that as long as he broke through to the Real Pellet State, he could become the overlord of an island.
Now that he had reached the Real Pellet State, he found that in the face of a powerhouse like Chu Xiu, the Real Pellet State was just a slightly stronger ant.
This truth even made Xiao Ziqi lose his mind for a while.
The big ship was approaching the Supreme Island, and there were many ships heading towards the Supreme Island. They were obviously preparing to celebrate the birthday of the Fifth Lord Huo.
After going ashore, Chu Xiu also sized up the Supreme Island.
The Supreme Island wasn't too big, but the scenery was beautiful, and the qi of heaven and earth was extremely abundant. It could be said to be a treasure land.
The buildings on the island were extremely luxurious. In Chu Xiu's opinion, they were even more luxurious than the Northern Yan. The building in the center of the island was no longer a house, but a small palace.
With Xiao Ziqi carrying the invitation, it was easy to enter the palace.
However, at this time, Chu Xiu and the others didn't notice that there were several pairs of eyes watching them from the other side of the palace.
The young master of the Huo Family that Chu Xiu had met before was standing there. There were two other people standing beside him. One of them was dressed in battle armor and had a ferocious and fierce appearance. He gave off an intimidating feeling without being angry.
There was another person who was even stranger. He was actually sitting cross-legged in the air, completely supported by his Stellar Energy. However, upon closer inspection, one would discover that he was not maintaining such a strange posture. Instead, it was because he did not have legs.
