As the Prefectural Governor of Fanglin County and the representative of the Imperial Sky Pavilion in Fanglin County, Jie Yingzong was impatient with the position.
In the eyes of the smaller sects and clans, Jie Yingzong had the backing of a top sect in the Eastern Region, the Royal Sky Pavilion. He was the protector of a county and countless sects and forces were respectful to him. Therefore, he should be doing well in the martial arts competition.
However, Jie Yingzong could not wait to return to the Imperial Sky Pavilion to cultivate.
Experts could only improve faster when they were together. Although Jie Yingzong was not a core disciple of the Imperial Sky Pavilion, he was ambitious.
In the Imperial Sky Pavilion, the resources could not be compared to being a tyrant here. However, he could receive guidance from a Martial Immortal and the atmosphere was different.
He was not considered old and had not given up on the ambition of advancing further.
Therefore, although Jie Yingzong was impatient with the forces from Fanglin County bothering him all the time, he would still step in to solve the problem in time. This was because it could bring him a large amount of resources. When he presented the resources every year, the Imperial Sky Pavilion would naturally remember his contributions. When he had accumulated enough credits, he would be able to apply for a transfer to the Imperial Sky Pavilion from his superiors.
In fact, Jie Yingzong criticized the rules of the Imperial Sky Pavilion in his heart.
Why did the Prefectural Governor have to be a Heaven and Earth Enlightenment Realm expert?
With the influence of the Imperial Sky Pavilion, who would dare to rebel even if they sent a Real Pellet Realm expert? It was such a waste.
After all, he had been in this position for more than a decade and had never encountered any troublesome problems.
"Pavilion Master Wen, are you in trouble this time?"
Wen Yongtai immediately put on an aggrieved expression and said, "Prefectural Governor, the Nine Phoenix Sword Sect is too much!
Lin Yazi accidentally found a Primeval Lord's successor and joined forces with him to dominate the martial arts world of Fanglin County. The Changhe Sect and the other two forces have already fallen into their hands.
Now, they are bullying the martial arts forces of Fanglin County even more. If this goes on, I'm afraid they will be more powerful than you, Prefectural Governor! "
Jie Yingzong did not care about Wen Yongtai's provocation.
He represented the Imperial Sky Pavilion. No matter how much trouble they caused, even if they dominated the entire Fanglin County, they would still have to listen to the Imperial Sky Pavilion's orders and offer offerings.
Hence, as long as they maintained their respect, Jie Yingzong would not care even if they destroyed their families.
What piqued his interest was the fact that the other party was Gu Zun's successor.
Over the years, quite a number of Gu Zun's descendants had come out to train, but there were also people who used the name of Gu Zun's descendants to swindle people.
"Ancient Sovereign's successor? To be able to encounter the Nine Phoenix Sword Sect so coincidentally, could he be a scammer? Which Primordial Sovereign's successor is he? "
Wen Yongtai shook his head and said, "I don't know about this. It seems that even Lin Yazi doesn't know. However, his strength and age are very similar to Gu Zun's successor. Aside from them, no one else in the outside world can raise such outstanding young experts. "
Jie Yingzong rubbed his chin and said, "Interesting, does the Nine Phoenix Sword Sect want to become Cold River City?"
Seeing that Jie Yingzong did not reply for a long time, Wen Yongtai secretly cursed at his insatiable greed. However, he obediently handed over a secret space box and said, "Lord Prefectural Governor, this is just a small gift. Please come forward and restore peace to Fanglin County!"
Jie Yingzong did not stand on ceremony and took the secret space box directly. He laughed and said, "Don't worry, the sky of Fanglin County is still in the hands of the Imperial Sky Pavilion. No one else can touch it or take it away!"
…
In the Nine Phoenix Sword Sect's secret seclusion chamber, Chu Xiu was trying to connect with heaven and earth to control this power.
During this time, Chu Xiu was not only checking the information and records of the sects, but he also did not give up on cultivating.
It had to be said that the Daluotian environment was too good, so good that it somewhat exceeded Chu Xiu's expectations.
This place was even closer to the sky.
When he was in the lower realm, Chu Xiu had gone into seclusion for a long time to find the bottleneck of the Heaven and Earth Illumination Realm. In the end, apart from condensing his power a little, he did not find anything.
But in this place, Chu Xiu was able to grasp a hazy rhythm. Although it wasn't very clear, at least he had a general idea of what it was.
Compared to the lower realm, this place was indeed heaven, a heaven for cultivators.
At this moment, Lin Fengwu hurriedly ran over and knocked on the door, shouting in a low voice, "Senior Chu, bad news! The Prefectural Governor is here! "
Chu Xiu opened the door and raised his eyebrows. "Oh? He's quite fast. "
The last time he heard Lin Fengwu talk about the Prefectural Governor, he knew that he would have to deal with him sooner or later.
He had caused such a huge commotion in Fanglin County that the Prefectural Governor, as the ruler of Fanglin County, could not ignore it.
However, Chu Xiu did not expect the Prefectural Governor to come so quickly.
In the Nine Phoenix Sword Sect's guest hall, Lin Yazi was respectfully receiving Jie Yingzong. His attitude could even be considered humble.
Compared to the lower realm, the Daluotian's rules were much stricter.
In the sphere of influence controlled by the top sects, no voices of disobedience were allowed.
When Chu Xiu walked into the guest hall and saw the Prefectural Governor, he also sighed in his heart.
He had seen many Heaven and Earth Illumination Realm powerhouses in the lower realm, and Shang Tianliang had even fought for him.
However, those Heaven and Earth Illumination Realm existences in the lower realm were all supreme-level figures, but in the Daluotian, they could only be a Prefectural Governor. This difference was a little too big.
Of course, this was only from Chu Xiu's perspective. In the eyes of Lin Yazi and the others, the Prefectural Governor was also an incredible big shot.
When he saw Chu Xiu, Lin Yazi hurriedly introduced him, "This is the Nine Phoenix Sword Sect's Foreign Delegate, Young Master Chu Xiu, Gu Zun's successor. This is the Imperial Sky Pavilion's Managing Elder and Fanglin County's Prefectural Governor, Lord Jie Yingzong. "
When Jie Yingzong introduced himself to others, he would always say that he was the Imperial Sky Pavilion's Managing Elder first before saying that he was the Prefectural Governor of Fanglin County. Everyone in Fanglin County knew this, so they would introduce him that way.
"So it's the Prefectural Governor. I was cultivating earlier and couldn't make it in time. My apologies for not being able to make it in time." Chu Xiu cupped his fists casually.
Jie Yingzong nodded casually and suddenly asked, "You said that you're Gu Zun's successor. May I know who your Master is?"
Jie Yingzong's tone was interrogative, causing Chu Xiu to be slightly taken aback.
It seemed like he had overestimated his identity as Gu Zun's successor. It seemed like Jie Yingzong didn't buy it.
At the moment, in Jie Yingzong's eyes, Chu Xiu's identity as Gu Zun's successor was not even certain.
Moreover, even if Chu Xiu was the real deal, there was no need for him to be too respectful because he was not afraid of Chu Xiu.
The major Daluotian factions did not want to provoke Gu Zun's lineage because Gu Zun was only focused on the pinnacle of martial arts and had no conflict of interest with them. Therefore, they would not provoke them if they could, but that did not mean that they were afraid of them.
No matter how strong Gu Zun was, he only had a single successor and only had one expert. However, the Imperial Sky Pavilion was one of the top factions in the Eastern Region. They had more than one expert and their influence was not something Gu Zun could compare to.
Chu Xiu narrowed his eyes and said, "My apologies, my lineage was once defeated in a battle. From then on, my lineage will not reveal its name until we defeat our enemy or his successor."
In truth, Chu Xiu had read many ancient records in the lower realm and knew the names of some of the ancient experts, but he did not dare to speak blindly.
He could say that he was a Gu Zun's successor, but he did not know if those warriors with names in the records had become Gu Zun or if their inheritance had been passed down to the present.
Therefore, he came up with this excuse and gave himself a reason to search for clues about Dugu Weiwei.
He believed that, given Dugu Weiwei's personality, the Daluotian would not be peaceful if he came to the Daluotian Continent. He must have fought with many people, and perhaps one of them was a Gu Zun.
As for the origin of his cultivation art, it was even easier to explain. As long as it was a cultivation art that belonged to Dugu Weiwo, it must have been comprehended by the ancestor of his lineage when he fought against Dugu Weiwo with his life on the line. Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will never be defeated. If you want to defeat your opponent, you must first understand your opponent's cultivation art. This is very normal.
Jie Yingzong snorted and said, "Inconvenient to reveal? Very well, I'm not interested in knowing.
However, you must restrain yourself from what you did in Fanglin Prefecture. Only the Prefectural Governor's Office can collect tributes from the major sects. No one else has the right!
And the Wind Sense Pavilion, the child said the wrong thing and has been taught a lesson. Let's forget about this matter. "
Chu Xiu said in a low voice, "What do you mean, Prefectural Governor? Although I led the Nine Phoenix Sword Sect to attack Fanglin Prefecture, I did not violate the Imperial Sky Pavilion's rules, did I?
No matter how many sects I destroyed, the tributes I paid to the Prefectural Governor's Office were not reduced at all.
Now that you want me to restrain myself, what about the expenditure I expended previously? What about the disciples of the Nine Phoenix Sword Sect who died when they attacked and occupied the mountain gate? "
Jie Yingzong stared at Chu Xiu and a faint coercion emerged from his body. "I don't care how you calculate it! All you need to know is that in Fanglin Prefecture, my words are the rules! It doesn't matter if you're the real or fake successor of the Ancient Venerate. As long as you're in Fanglin Prefecture, you must abide by my rules! "
Lin Yazi, who was standing at the side, kept shooting looks at Chu Xiu's envoy, telling him to quickly submit.
Only then did he realize that Chu Xiu was a little stubborn.
In terms of strength, the other party was a Heaven and Earth Mystic Illumination realm expert. In terms of background, the other party had the Imperial Sky Pavilion behind him. He might not necessarily be afraid of his master.
What else could he do other than submit at a time like this?
However, Chu Xiu taught Lin Yazi a lesson. Sometimes, the more you backed down, the more the other party would take advantage of you.
Chu Xiu had given Jie Yingzong a lot of face earlier. In Fanglin Prefecture, he was willing to act within the Imperial Sky Pavilion's rules. Unfortunately, there was someone who did not want to abide by the rules.
Since they could not be reasoned with, he could only resort to violence!
