Chu Xiu was a man who could endure silently, but at the same time, he was not willing to endure silently.
If one had the strength, who would be willing to lower their heads and lie low?
Moreover, Chu Xiu was a man who would 'climb on someone's nose'. Back then, he had borrowed Zhong Shenxiu's promise and dared to fool Jun Wushen and the entire orthodox martial arts world. Now, even though he had come to the Daluotian Continent and arrived in a foreign world, Chu Xiu still had the guts to not back down because of his illusory identity as the successor of a Supreme.
Moreover, he could see from Jie Yingzong's eyes that this Prefectural Governor was not that resolute.
Taking a step forward, Chu Xiu said calmly, "Are the words of the Prefectural Governor the rules? Doesn't that mean that the Prefectural Governor thinks that you are more powerful than the entire Imperial Sky Pavilion? Why, after being a local tyrant for so long, do you think that you are the real Emperor? "
Lin Yazi's expression changed when he heard these sarcastic words. This was going to offend the Prefectural Governor to death.
Jie Yingzong's face was filled with rage as he shouted, "How dare you!"
As Jie Yingzong's voice fell, a small sword appeared from his sleeve. In the next moment, the small sword disappeared and appeared in front of Chu Xiu almost instantaneously!
There was no strong fluctuation of Heaven and Earth essence Qi, nor was there any explosion of Stellar Qi. However, this small sword was extremely dangerous. If it was anyone else, they would have been pierced through by this sword.
However, at this moment, Chu Xiu seemed to have predicted this. The moment Jie Yingzong made his move, he had already opened his hand and grasped the small sword in his hand!
Previously, when Chu Xiu was fighting against the Head Piercing Seven Arrows, he had tried to push the Heaven's Son Gazing at Air to its peak.
Although Chu Xiu had not ignited his Primordial Spirit and was unable to reach the peak of the Heaven's Son Gazing at Air, he had still reached that realm. Therefore, his understanding of the Heaven's Son Gazing at Air had improved.
Jie Yingzong's small sword was not much bigger than the Dagger Chief. It looked small and exquisite, but it was a genuine Divine Weapon.
But now, Chu Xiu's fleshly body had already reached the pinnacle. The Internal True Fire and the World Extinguishing Flame burned at the same time. The golden-silver Internal True Fire burned the small sword, causing it to turn red.
The Apocalyptic Flame followed the small sword and headed straight for Jie Yingzong.
Jie Yingzong snorted coldly and immediately sheathed his sword. Stars revolved around him as he stood in front of the Apocalyptic Fire.
In the next moment, Jie Yingzong pointed out with four fingers on his right hand. Earth, wind, water, and fire, the four extreme powers condensed into a single point and gathered in his four fingers. The power was so concentrated that it was only the size of a bean, but it caused the surrounding space to tremble. Even Lin Yazi was shocked by the power.
Chu Xiu narrowed his eyes. At this moment, he didn't feel any pressure. Instead, he felt a little strange.
When he fought with Fang Changhe and the others, he felt that the Daluotian warriors of the same level were too weak. They were far weaker than the warriors of the same level in the Lower Realm.
Jie Yingzong's strength wasn't that strong. In fact, Chu Xiu didn't feel as much pressure as he did when he fought with Ling Yunzi.
Of course, this wasn't because Jie Yingzong was too weak. It was because the current Chu Xiu was much stronger than the Chu Xiu when he fought with Ling Yunzi at the peak of Kunlun Mountain.
At this moment, Chu Xiu felt that Jie Yingzong's strength wasn't too shocking. However, his understanding of the Martial Way and the various strange changes in the rules of power were completely different from the martial way in the Lower Realm.
In the past ten thousand years, the inheritance of the ancient martial way and the martial way in the Lower Realm had been severed. Both sides shared the same origin, but in terms of the details, they had walked two different paths.
In the face of Jie Yingzong's attack, Chu Xiu formed a seal with his hands. It was the Colorless Sealing Palm Seal.
However, the Colorless Sealing Palm Seal that Chu Xiu formed this time was very small. It was only a foot long and the space around it was distorted. However, it was devouring all the energy around it, including the force of Jie Yingzong's four fingers.
Lin Yazi even had a feeling that if Chu Xiu changed the direction of this seal technique, his entire Nine Phoenix Sword Sect would be dragged into it!
The Colorless Sealing Palm Seal was like a Mount Sumeru in a mustard seed.
At this moment, Chu Xiu had used the true essence of this seal technique and pushed it to a peak. A peak that even its creator, Holy Monk Tan Yuan, had never reached!
Jie Yingzong couldn't help but frown when he saw that Chu Xiu had blocked his attack. In the next moment, the back of his head glowed with a golden light and the power of his Primordial Spirit transformed into a divine shadow. It formed a seal with its hands and charged at Chu Xiu!
This was a Primordial Spirit secret technique!
The power of his Primordial Spirit in Chu Xiu's mind also flourished. He didn't even use the power of his inner demons. Instead, he directly transformed the power of his Primordial Spirit into the appearance of the Great Mahakala. His Primordial Spirit Fire bloomed from his third eye and tangled with the Great Mahakala.
Jie Yingzong suddenly retracted his Primordial Spirit Fire and looked at Chu Xiu in shock. "The Great Mahakala of the Sanskrit Sect. Who are you?"
Jie Yingzong hadn't recognized the Apocalyptic Fire before. The Sanskrit Sect was located far away in the Western Regions and rarely came to the Eastern Regions. Therefore, he had never fought with the Sanskrit Sect's martial artists.
However, the Great Mahakala that the Sanskrit Sect worshiped was very famous. It was impossible for him not to know about it.
Chu Xiu said lightly, "One of my ancestors had some friendship with the leader of the Sanskrit Sect's Great Mahakala Palace. Is there anything strange about that?"
Jie Yingzong didn't say anything, nor did he continue to attack. He only stared at Chu Xiu for a long time before he laughed heartily. "Gu Zun's successor, you live up to your reputation. You may have the strength to break my rules, but if you dare to violate the Imperial Sky Pavilion's rules, I won't be the next person to come here! "
After saying that, Jie Yingzong turned around and left.
Lin Yazi looked at all of this with a dumbfounded expression, unable to react.
Just now, Jie Yingzong had angrily thought that Chu Xiu had challenged his dignity. Why was he letting it go now? He didn't seem to have lost.
"What's going on?"
Chu Xiu said lightly, "Do you think the Prefectural Governor is an idiot?"
Lin Yazi hurriedly shook his head and said, "Of course not. The Imperial Sky Pavilion has witnessed the Prefectural Governor's abilities. I heard that among the counties that the Imperial Sky Pavilion controls, the Prefectural Governor is also the most outstanding."
"Since the Prefectural Governor isn't an idiot, why would he fight to the death with someone that he doesn't have 100% confidence in taking down? Just for the little things that the other sects have offered him? Isn't he a little too worthless? "
Chu Xiu had sensed from the beginning that although the Prefectural Governor seemed overbearing, he had been testing him all along to find out his true identity and strength.
Earlier on, they had exchanged three blows and had suppressed their powers to the limit. They didn't even break a single tile. It was clear that they both understood each other's intentions.
If he could easily tell that Chu Xiu was an impostor or if Chu Xiu gave in slightly, Chu Xiu would probably be at Jie Yingzong's mercy.
After testing the waters, he realized that Chu Xiu wasn't that easy to deal with. Naturally, he wouldn't force his way through.
What was dignity? All Jie Yingzong wanted was practical benefits.
He would be able to return to the Imperial Sky Pavilion after a while. There was no need for him to fight to the death with a fellow of unknown origin.
Therefore, as long as Chu Xiu didn't touch his reverse scale and violate the Imperial Sky Pavilion's rules, he wouldn't really fight to the death with Chu Xiu.
After Jie Yingzong left the Nine Phoenix Sword Sect, Wen Yongtai, who had been waiting outside for news from Jie Yingzong, immediately rushed up to him and asked, "Prefectural Governor, what's the situation inside? Is Chu Xiu real or fake? "
Jie Yingzong patted his shoulder and said calmly, "Go back and pack up. Send over the things that Chu Xiu wants. If you admit defeat, he probably won't annihilate the entire Wind Surveillance Pavilion."
Wen Yongtai was stunned. "Even you, Prefectural Governor, can't defeat Chu Xiu. What cultivation realm is he at?"
Jie Yingzong scoffed. "What nonsense are you talking about? What do you mean by I can't defeat Chu Xiu? I didn't lose either! "
Wen Yongtai thought to himself, 'I didn't lose. Doesn't that mean I didn't win?'
However, Wen Yongtai didn't dare to say this out loud. He only asked cautiously, "In that case, can you return the things that I brought over to you earlier, Prefectural Governor?"
Jie Yingzong glanced at Wen Yongtai from the corner of his eye and didn't say anything. However, the intense look in his eyes scared Wen Yongtai so much that he immediately turned around and left without saying another word.
Looking at Wen Yongtai's back, Jie Yingzong smirked. "You want to take back the things that are already in my pocket? How naive! "
Jie Yingzong rubbed his chin and pondered for a moment. He had to report this matter to the Imperial Sky Pavilion. Otherwise, he would have to bear the consequences if trouble arose.
Actually, whether it was the Imperial Sky Pavilion or the other Daluotian sects, they didn't view Gu Zun's successor as an enemy. Instead, they treated him with indifference.
However, the prerequisite was that Gu Zun's successor did not go overboard.
He could enter the Underworld, but if he messed up the order of the Underworld, someone would have to intervene.
Chu Xiu was definitely not a kind person. Moreover, Jie Yingzong couldn't figure out his opponent's background from the few probing moves they exchanged just now. He was certain that apart from Gu Zun's successor, only a top-notch genius nurtured by the various sects could possess such combat strength at the Spirit Refinement Realm.
In any case, regardless of Chu Xiu's identity, it wouldn't affect Jie Yingzong's merit if he reported the situation and got into trouble.
As for Wen Yongtai, he didn't play any tricks when he returned to the Wind Smell Pavilion. He directly beat up Wen Donglai and packed up all the books in the Wind Smell Pavilion and handed them over to Chu Xiu.
He was truly afraid.
Jie Yingzong, the Prefectural Governor, had stayed in Fanglin Prefecture for more than a decade. He was experienced and well-versed in his methods. Although he rarely fought, he managed to keep the martial arts forces in Fanglin Prefecture in line.
What else could he do now that Jie Yingzong couldn't do anything to Chu Xiu? Although he felt the pinch, he didn't want to follow in the footsteps of the Changhe Sect and the others.
Chu Xiu didn't expect Wen Yongtai to be so tactful and not make him waste any more time.
After getting what he wanted, Chu Xiu couldn't be bothered to find trouble with Wen Yongtai. He immediately began to check the records of the Wind Smell Pavilion.
He was pleasantly surprised to find the information he wanted in the records of the Wind Smell Pavilion!
