Going back to Kunlun Mountain was crazy. If it had been in the past, Chu Xiu would have been blocked by a group of righteous experts before he could reach West Kunlun.
Now, although some people felt that it was not right to let Chu Xiu go back to Kunlun Mountain so easily, the news of Dugu Weiwei's reincarnation shook the entire Jianghu. How could they have time to care about Chu Xiu?
In particular, the news of Chu Wuji and Chu Xiu's falling out made some righteous sects even more disinclined to care about this matter.
Most people had the same opinion as Ling Yunzi.
Dugu Weiwei was a great calamity for the entire Jianghu. Chu Xiu? He used to be a threat, but in front of Dugu Weiwei, he was nothing more than a scabbard.
Now that the Lurking Devil Clan had fallen out with him, he would let them bite each other first. When they were done biting each other, he would deal with them when he was free.
At this moment, at the border of Wei County, Situ Qi, Si Wuya, and the other cultivators who had gone to the Martial Suppression Hall to add insult to injury were all gathered here. Some of their disciples and disciples were also there. This was almost all of their strength.
Recently, Situ Qi and the others had a very difficult time.
In the past, they were all big shots in the Lurking Devil Clan. No matter how much power they had, they still had a status.
However, as the three of them fell out with Chu Xiu, and even Li Jiaodi was killed by Chu Xiu, Situ Qi and Kun Mo became more and more difficult.
They had been rebuked by Chu Xiu time and time again. It was utterly humiliating. Their power and influence in the Hidden Devil Clan had been completely lost.
Now, the entire Lurking Devil Clan had actually been completely divided.
Most of them were on Chu Xiu's side. He was already the veritable leader of the Lurking Devil Clan.
Wei Shuya's bloodline, the bloodline of the Phaseless Demon Sect, and a large number of rogue cultivators and backbone forces of the Hidden Devil Bloodline all stood on Chu Xiu's side.
Naturally, there were also some people who remained neutral. For example, sectless cultivators like the Earth Devil Cultivator, Yu Moya, were in the minority compared to forces like the Scarlet Drill Devil Sect.
As for Situ Qi and the others, they had almost all been excluded from the Yinmo Clan. Other than their own pitiful disciples and grand-disciples, they had almost no one else under them.
Therefore, when Si Wuya came looking for them, they seemed to have found a way out. They joined forces with Si Wuya to fish in troubled waters and dig out Chu Xiu's roots.
Si Wuya stood before the gate of Wei County's citadel built by Jiangshan Pavilion. He said in a deep voice, "Is Chu Wuji here?"
Situ Qi nodded and said, "Chu Wuji used to be a member of the royal family of the Wei Kingdom. After he fell out with Chu Xiu, he brought his men to Wei County."
Si Wuya looked at the city gate. A myriad of thoughts ran through his mind.
Back then, there were many powerhouses trapped in the Primitive Demon Cave, but only the demonic path was different from the righteous path fellows.
Even after eight hundred years, those people from the Righteous path would still be able to find their own sect.
However, what about them? When they finally saw the light of day again, when they turned around, their sect was long gone, and they were all alone. Who could accept that?
Si Wuya and the others were once sect leaders or elders of major Fiend Path sects. Naturally, they could not accept such a situation. That was why they had tried to dig out Chu Xiu's roots and take over a portion of the Hidden Devil Bloodline's power. However, they did not expect the Hidden Devil Bloodline to be so stubborn even when they were in such dire straits.
Now that Chu Wuji had fallen out with Chu Xiu and the others, it gave Si Wuya a chance to regain control of the Hidden Devil Bloodline's power!
At this moment, Situ Qi said hesitantly, "Brother Si, why don't we give up? News of the sect master's reincarnation has spread. The more we do, the more mistakes we'll make. Why don't we wait patiently and see if the sect master's reincarnation really appears? We'll make our move when the time comes."
Situ Qi had suffered at Chu Xiu's hands several times. In truth, he had developed a sense of fear toward Chu Xiu.
He was slightly reluctant to go against Chu Xiu now.
However, he was an expert in the True Fire Spirit Refinement realm, after all. He was one of the bosses of the Fiend Path in the past.
It was too early for him to make a move now. If Dugu Weiwei really appeared, he would immediately side with the sect master and speak ill of Chu Xiu to the sect master.
If Dugu Weiwei did not appear, and Chu Wuji had fallen out with Chu Xiu, he would look for an opportunity to deal with Chu Xiu. It was too early for him to make a move now.
Si Wuya frowned and said, "Wait patiently? Time doesn't wait for me. If we miss this opportunity, when do we have to wait?
Brother Situ, you should know that Chu Xiu's subordinates used to be united. It's rare for his subordinates to be divided.
If we miss this opportunity, it'll be too late for regrets. "
Si Wuya had always looked down on Situ Qi.
The cultivators of his generation were born in troubled times. They fought and killed in the martial world. The power they wielded was comparable to the sect masters of the major sects.
In the end, Situ Qi and the others were not weak, and yet, they ended up like this. Moreover, they were humiliated by a junior like Chu Xiu. It was only natural that Si Wuya felt disdain toward them.
Moreover, Si Wuya did not know about Dugu Weiwei's existence.
Ever since they left the Primitive Demon Cave, Si Wuya and the others had used many channels to learn about the current martial world, mainly the Fiend Path.
The name 'Dugu Weiwo' was what they heard the most.
Although the rumors described Dugu Weiwei as powerful and incredible, Si Wuya had not lived through that era. Moreover, he was not like Situ Qi and the others who had grown up listening to legends about Dugu Weiwei. Therefore, he felt that everything about Dugu Weiwei was exaggerated.
For this reason, Si Wuya would not place his interests in the hands of an illusory reincarnated cultivator.
Situ Qi did not say anything when he saw how determined Si Wuya was.
Ever since he joined forces with Si Wuya to dig up the Lurking Devil Progeny's foundation, his relationship with the Lurking Devil Progeny was completely severed.
Even Qin Chaoxian and the others who had taken a neutral stance were no longer willing to interact with him.
Although Qin Chaoxian and the others did not help him back then, they were all members of the Lurking Devil Progeny. Not only did Situ Qi refuse to help, but he even took advantage of the situation. That was too much.
"Let's enter the city."
Si Wuya waved his hand. The group entered the citadel.
The citadel was a new city. When Jiangshan Pavilion had first taken control of Wei County, they had paid a great price to build it. They wanted to use it as their capital city.
Now that the Kingdom of Wei was gone, Wei County was Wei County once again. The so-called capital city was now a joke.
In truth, the Northern Yan did not object to the Kingdom of Wei's existence. Chu Xiu had already informed Xiang Li that Jiangshan Pavilion was willing to back down. In that case, everything would remain the same.
However, after Zhao Yuanfeng went to the Northern Yan, he felt uneasy. That was why he took the initiative to erase the Kingdom of Wei's name and reverted to the Northern Yan's Wei County.
At this moment, they were in a palace in the citadel. This used to be the imperial palace. However, some of the taboo decorations had been removed by Jiangshan Pavilion.
Zhao Yuanfeng looked at Chu Wuji who was sitting across him and smiled bitterly. Chu Wuji had been in the citadel for a long time. He was staying here with a group of Lurking Devil Progeny cultivators as though he wanted to settle down here.
He knew about the fall out between Chu Wuji and Chu Xiu. Therefore, he really did not want Chu Wuji to stay here. He was a ticking time bomb.
However, the problem was that he did not dare to drive Chu Wuji away.
Jiangshan Pavilion had suffered heavy losses before. An Elder and a large number of disciples had died. It was still unknown whether they could defeat the people brought by Chu Wuji.
Most importantly, he did not know what was going on between Chu Wuji and Chu Xiu.
As the most prestigious person in the Lurking Devil Progeny, Wei Shuya, who had personally promoted Chu Xiu and Chu Wuji, was now in closed-door cultivation.
If Wei Shuya came out of closed-door cultivation and used his prestige to subdue Chu Xiu and Chu Wuji and make them reconcile, he would offend them for no reason. That would be tragic.
Therefore, Zhao Yuanfeng could only say cautiously, "Brother Chu, it's just a small problem between you and Official Chu. There's no need to be so hostile, right? It's not good for you to stay in Wei Prefecture all the time. Why don't you return to the Subduing Martial Hall and talk things over? Maybe the problem will be solved. "
Chu Wuji glanced at Zhao Yuanfeng and snorted, "Why? Pavilion Master Zhao, are you driving me away?
You should know that Wei Prefecture used to be my Chu family's Wei Kingdom. Strictly speaking, this is my territory.
Now that Pavilion Master Zhao has occupied this place, I haven't said anything. Why are you driving me away? "
Zhao Yuanfeng smiled awkwardly and said, "You must be joking, Brother Chu. Why would I drive you away? I'm just …"
Before he could finish speaking, a voice rang from outside. "Wei Prefecture may not have a place for you, Brother Chu, but there's bound to be a place for you in the pugilistic world.
Moreover, the Lurking Devil Progeny was built by you and Chu Xiu in the past. Why are you leaving without anything and giving it to Chu Xiu?
Brother Chu, come with me. Let's get back what you've lost. "
As soon as the voice finished speaking, Si Wuya and the others walked into the great hall.
Zhao Yuanfeng's expression was grim. These people had barged in without permission. It was clear they had forced their way in.
With Jiangshan Pavilion's resources, it was true that they built a palace in a hurry without a Formation. Indeed, it could not stop a True Fire Soul Refinement realm expert.
However, they had swaggered in. It was clear they had no intention of showing Jiangshan Pavilion any respect.
When Chu Wuji saw Si Wuya and the others had come, he frowned.
Chu Xiu had asked him to put on an act to attract the attention of the Noble Path sects and create the illusion that the Fiend Path was fighting among themselves. This was to create an opportunity for Chu Xiu to ascend Kunlun Mountain.
He did not expect Si Wuya and the others to take the bait and come to him. It seemed like he could not stay idle anymore. It was time for him to put on an act!
