The human heart was the hardest thing to control. If today's scene had happened when Chu Xiu and Chu Xiu were still weak and struggling to survive, perhaps it would have been another story that verified Huo Xingzun's divine eyes.
Unfortunately, Huo Xingzun only remembered Chu Xiu's age and neglected Chu Xiu's identity and strength, which led to a complete fall out between them.
Fortunately, he had been cautious all these years and did not fall out on the spot. Otherwise, it might have turned into a murder case. Anyway, it was not the first time that Chu Xiu had killed someone at a birthday banquet, so he was used to it.
Just as Chu Xiu was about to leave, a voice suddenly rang out, "Official Chu, take care."
Chu Xiu turned around and saw that it was Pak Dong-lai who had chased after him.
Chu Xiu narrowed his eyes and said, "Mr Bo, aren't you afraid of offending the Fifth Lord Huo by following me?"
Pak Dong-lai chuckled and said, "At this time, the Fifth Lord Huo has a lot of people flattering him. Why would he pay attention to me? And if I was afraid of offending him in the past, I'm not afraid now. "
At this point, Pak Dong-lai's expression suddenly turned serious and said, "Official Chu, you want to borrow the power of the East Sea to attack Eastern Qi, but today you've fallen out with Huo Xingzun. Don't underestimate his influence in the Breezy Sea. I'm afraid this time, you will really return in failure.
Chu Xiu said lightly, "It doesn't matter. I'll just take it as coming to the East Sea to experience the local customs."
Seeing that Chu Xiu was not in a hurry, Pak Dong-lai said in a deep voice, "Official Chu, I won't beat around the bush with you.
I agree with what you said just now. Only when both sides benefit is it called cooperation.
So this time, why don't we cooperate? "
"Cooperate with what?"
With a dark look in his eyes, Pak Dong-lai said in a low voice, "You help me kill Huo Xingzun, and I will help you gather the Jianghu forces in the East Sea to attack Eastern Qi!"
When he said this, Chu Xiu's expression didn't change, but Yi Boxun was shocked.
Pak Dong-lai could be considered as a top figure in the Breezy Ocean. You could say that he was generous and straightforward, or that he was scheming, but his influence could not be compared to Huo Xingzun. Who would have thought that he would actually dare to have such thoughts about Huo Xingzun, who had dominated the Breezy Ocean for a hundred years? His guts were not small.
Pak Dong-lai looked around and said, "There are too many people here. Official Chu, my Tianyishui Hall's ship is over there. Why don't we go in and talk?"
Chu Xiu paused for a few breaths, then nodded and said, "Sure."
Hearing Chu Xiu's words, Pak Dong-lai heaved a sigh of relief.
As long as Chu Xiu did not leave immediately and continued to talk with him, it meant that there was a chance of success.
When they arrived at Pak Dong-lai's ship, Chu Xiu said in a low voice, "Mr Bo, there is one thing that I am curious about. Why are you doing this?"
Pak Dong-lai grinned and said, "Everyone wants to climb up. Is there a reason for this? Someone is blocking my way, and he is not willing to give way. So I have to think of a way to solve this problem. "
Chuckling, Pak Dong-lai continued, "Alright, I will not keep you in suspense. Official Chu, I will tell you the truth. I have been wanting to make a move on Huo Xingzun for a long time.
Official Chu, you have not been in the East Sea for long. What you have heard about Huo Xingzun is all sorts of mystical places. These things are indeed worth mentioning, but you definitely do not know about the rest.
Huo Xingzun's Paragon Island, or rather, his Huo family, has already become the scourge of the Breezy Sea! "
"Oh? Huo Xingzun wants to dominate the East Sea? "
Pak Dong-lai laughed coldly and said, "Perhaps he has the intention, but he is old and does not have the energy to do so.
The disgusting thing about the Huo family is that they will not directly swallow you up and use force. Instead, they will send a direct descendant of the Huo family to your sect and interfere with your sect's affairs in the form of 'helping' to earn benefits.
In my Tianyishui Hall, there are already a few places occupied by the Huo family.
None of Huo Xingzun's sons are successful, so he thought of such a disgusting method to find a long-term meal ticket for his descendants.
But does he really think that everyone is willing to swallow their anger? "
Chu Xiu couldn't help but shake his head after hearing this. He did not even know how to describe Huo Xingzun.
Exploiting his subordinates was also very particular, just like what Chu Xiu did in the Northern Yan Martial World.
I'll take your things, but I'll also give you some practical benefits. I'll let you see what your monthly offerings are spent on.
Although the Northern Yan Martial World's sects are also feeling the pinch, at least they know that the offerings they take out are effective, and the price is clearly marked. That's all.
Huo Xingzun is doing better than Chu Xiu. But in reality, it's like cutting flesh with a blunt knife, and you don't know how much he's going to cut.
Huo Xingzun's actions are simply making things difficult for his descendants. If he dies in the future, if his adopted sons do not choose to protect the Huo family's descendants, the entire Huo family will die a terrible death.
Chu Xiu knocked on the table and said, "If that's the case, then it's not easy for Huo Xingzun to maintain the Supreme Island for so long. But I'm still curious. Why did you come to me? You must know that I'm from the central plains, and I just came to the East Sea. Is this an impromptu idea? "
Pak Dong-lai smiled awkwardly and said, "It's indeed an impromptu idea. But if Official Chu is willing to help, the success rate will definitely increase greatly.
Also, if Official Chu didn't fall out with Huo Xingzun, I wouldn't have come to you.
The Fifth Lord Huo's Supreme Island has been established in the Breezy Ocean for over a hundred years. It's so powerful that it's unimaginable.
So, I don't even dare to look for someone to work with, because I don't know if they'll betray me.
But I'm very confident in Official Chu, because you're an outsider, and you've just fallen out with Huo Xingzun.
With Official Chu's personality, you've basically given up on the possibility of working with Huo Xingzun. So, here in the Breezy Ocean, working with Official Chu is the most reliable way. "
Chu Xiu squinted his eyes and looked at Pak Dong-lai.
This person is indeed the first impression that Chu Xiu gave me. He's very scheming.
According to Chu Xiu's guess, this person has wanted to make a move on Huo Xingzun for a long time, but he forcefully endured it until now.
In the hall just now, Chu Xiu subconsciously saw Pak Dong-lai.
At that time, Pak Dong-lai presented a congratulatory gift to Huo Xingzun respectfully. When he looked at Huo Xingzun, his eyes were filled with admiration. No matter when Chu Xiu looked at him, his expression was the same.
It's not difficult to act for a while, but it's difficult to continue acting like this.
After a while, Chu Xiu smiled and said, "I'm very impressed that you have the courage to challenge Huo Xingzun in the Breezy Ocean. I like to work with smart people, and I think Mr. Bo is a smart person. "
To Chu Xiu, as long as he can get martial artists from the East Sea to attack Eastern Qi, it doesn't matter who the person is.
If Huo Xingzun doesn't know what's good for him, then I'll just get someone else.
Pak Dong-lai's reputation in the Breezy Ocean is not small, and it's not bad either. It seems like he has been secretly accumulating his reputation for this day.
As long as he can get rid of Huo Xingzun's faction, Pak Dong-lai will be able to take over, and he can also help him consolidate the power of the Breezy Ocean to attack Eastern Qi.
Seeing that Chu Xiu has agreed, Pak Dong-lai also let out a long sigh.
He has been planning this for a long time, and the reason why he hasn't executed it yet is because he lacks strength.
Huo Xingzun has dominated the Breezy Ocean for so many years, and he himself isn't worth mentioning. However, the power that he indirectly controls is incomparably strong, and Pak Dong-lai has no way of shaking it.
At this moment, Huo Xingzun's power is at its weakest.
Zhao Yuanfeng went to the Central Plains to participate in the Central Plains Warriors Competition. Coincidentally, Chu Xiu has a falling out with Huo Xingzun. Pak Dong-lai can use this opportunity to get strong support from Chu Xiu and Yi Boxun.
This is an extremely rare opportunity, so he doesn't care that his plan hasn't been completed yet, and wants to pull Chu Xiu to his side.
At this moment, Chu Xiu said in a deep voice, "Mr Bo, since we've already teamed up, let's talk about the power that you have. I don't believe that Tianyishui Hall alone can destroy the Supreme Island."
Pak Dong-lai smiled, "Official Chu is right. If I only have Tianyishui Hall, I won't dare to attack the Supreme Island. I'm not that arrogant.
Actually, there are many people in the East Sea who are dissatisfied with Huo Xingzun's way of doing things. Many of them have already teamed up with me.
For example, the leader of the Stormy Waves Alliance in the Breezy Ocean, Kou Shentong. He was born in the wilderness, and he formed the Stormy Waves Alliance with those small islands. Although his subordinates aren't the strongest, they have the most people.
He has a huge grudge against Huo Xingzun's godson, Baili Pobing. He was once heavily injured by Baili Pobing, and his divine weapon was destroyed by Baili Pobing.
Other than Kou Shentong, Tianyishui Hall has also recruited many experts among the wandering cultivators. Although they're scattered all over the Breezy Ocean, they'll appear here as soon as they receive my message.
Oh right, there's another person that you should be familiar with, Official Chu. He's the leader of the Cetacean Society, Long Tianying. He's also on my side.
The Cetacean Society is the largest merchant association between the Breezy Ocean and the Central Plains, and their trade volume is shocking.
In the past, the Cetacean Society had the help of Saint Master Tam Yuan, so they could still get by. But ever since Master Tam Yuan passed away in the Central Plains, the Cetacean Society lost its backing and was suppressed.
The Huo family teamed up with Zhao Yuanfeng and seized many of the Cetacean Society's trade routes. They forced the Cetacean Society to become a second-rate merchant association.
If it wasn't for Master Tam Yuan's legacy, Long Tianying might even have lost his life.
Many of the things in Tianyishui Hall came from the Cetacean Society. We've teamed up to overthrow the Supreme Island.
Now that you're here, Official Chu, I believe Leader Long will be very happy to see Official Chu. "
