After listening to Chu Xiu's suggestion, Jie Yingzong and Lu Sanjin broke out in a cold sweat.
Chu Xiu's move was indeed ruthless. However, at the same time, he was shrewd enough to get himself out of it.
Jie Yingzong only benefited from the fact that he did not make a move. Therefore, they could not blame Jie Yingzong and the Imperial Sky Pavilion.
Unless all the forces in Fanglin County had no desires and did not fight for it.
Unfortunately, fighting and killing were the nature of martial artists, and greed was human nature. Jie Yingzong could imagine that if he followed Chu Xiu's plan, Fanglin County would turn into a pot of porridge in a short period of time. Of course, he would be the one eating the porridge.
As for the shortcomings mentioned by Chu Xiu, he did not care at all.
No matter how big a sect was, could it be bigger than the Imperial Sky Pavilion?
Jie Yingzong subconsciously glanced at Lu Sanjin. Lu Sanjin chuckled and said, "I won't care about these things as long as you don't cause trouble and ruin the reputation of the Imperial Sky Pavilion."
Jie Yingzong bowed to Chu Xiu and said with a solemn expression, "Thank you, Chu, for your suggestion."
It was a simple matter for him to help Chu Xiu look after the Nine Phoenix Sword Sect. However, Chu Xiu's idea was to help him accumulate merits faster and return to the Imperial Sky Pavilion's headquarters.
After Chu Xiu and the others left, Jie Yingzong felt that something was amiss.
Wasn't Chu Xiu the successor of Gu Zun? He was obsessed with the Martial Dao. Why would he have so many schemes? It was even more than Jie Yingzong, who had been the Prefectural Governor for more than a decade.
However, Jie Yingzong did not think too much about it. Strength and scheming were never proportional.
He had seen many people who were strong but simple-minded. They were brainless and rash, and they only knew how to use their fists.
Maybe Chu Xiu was born to be scheming. As the successor of Gu Zun, he should not only be talented, but also not be bad in other aspects. Take Meng Xinghe for example. He was not only powerful, but also had good connections. He helped Cold River City come up with many ideas and pushed it into the ranks of the top sects in the world.
The place where Royal Sky Pavilion and High Heaven Sect would hold the Martial Show was in High Heaven City, where High Heaven Sect was located.
The martial arts demonstration between the two sides was actually more like a dispute over grievances. Since the beginning of the Ancient Great Tribulation, the two Sects had actually been at odds with each other. In addition, High Heaven Sect and Imperial Sky Pavilion were very similar in terms of Martial Dao and Martial Dao, so the two sides had not been pleasing to the eye for a long time. Before the Ancient Great Tribulation, the two sides had fought several times.
However, after coming to the Celestial Absolute Heaven, they knew that they were already considered lucky survivors. Every cultivator was extremely precious and should not be wasted in meaningless fights.
Therefore, when the people of the two Sects clashed again, the high-level officials of the two Sects set a rule that no life-and-death fights were allowed. Every five years, there would be a martial arts demonstration, only competition, no life-and-death battles. Either side could put up a bet or various conditions.
Ten thousand years later, although the Daluotian Sects had developed to this scale and were not afraid of a life-and-death battle, it did not matter to Imperial Sky Pavilion and High Heaven Sect. Although the two Sects had conflicts, they also found the benefits of using this method to resolve conflicts.
Of course, the premise was that High Heaven Sect and Imperial Sky Pavilion could maintain their strength at an equal level. Otherwise, if one side was too weak, they could not blame others for being destroyed.
…
High Heaven City, Eastern Territory. When Lu Sanjin brought Chu Xiu to High Heaven City, Chu Xiu finally realized how big the entire Eastern Territory was.
Previously, he had only wandered around Fanglin County, and in his opinion, although the scope of Fanglin County was much larger than that of the lower world, it was not too exaggerated.
But after crossing several regions of the Eastern Territory with Lu Sanjin, Chu Xiu discovered that the area of Fanglin County was actually quite small among the several counties under the jurisdiction of Imperial Sky Pavilion. Although Imperial Sky Pavilion's sphere of influence was not comparable to that of Eastern Qi in the lower world, it was comparable to that of Northern Yan.
High Heaven City, where High Heaven Sect was located, did not belong to any county but was instead a giant city.
The city walls were thousands of metres high, and looking up from below, one could not see the edge of the city.
Moreover, all the city walls were built with a kind of bluestone with a white jade lustre, giving off a solemn and dignified feeling.
Lu Sanjin saw the slightly shocked look on Chu Xiu's face, but he just curled his lips and said, "High Heaven Sect just likes to show off their face, it's not very useful."
Although he said so, Lu Sanjin was still a little jealous, because High Heaven Sect's ostentation was indeed much larger than his Imperial Sky Pavilion's.
The people of Imperial Sky Pavilion were relatively straightforward, and when they first came to the Daluotian Continent, they did not think too much about it and rebuilt the Sect according to the scale of the lower world, unlike High Heaven Sect, which had specially gathered all kinds of strange materials from the Daluotian Continent to build a magnificent Sect.
Entering High Heaven City, Chu Xiu suddenly felt an extremely rich World Yuan Qi wash over him.
The World Yuan Qi in the Daluotian Continent was already very rich, but the World Yuan Qi in High Heaven City was even more amazing.
The entire High Heaven City was covered in Spirit Arrays, and with the support of these Spirit Arrays, the original World Yuan Qi of the outside world was condensed, making the entire High Heaven City look like a paradise.
Since High Heaven City was where High Heaven Sect was located, most of the people here were naturally cultivators from High Heaven Sect.
These cultivators from High Heaven Sect were all dressed in white robes and had confident and proud expressions on their faces, giving off the aura of a great Sect.
However, this was not what Chu Xiu was focused on. He found that these Daluotian Sects always seemed to like to dress the same way.
When he first came here, the people from the small Sects he met thought he was a Mysterious Heavenly Realm cultivator. Obviously, Mysterious Heavenly Realm cultivators liked to wear black robes while High Heaven Sect's preferred to wear white.
At this time, when the two Sects were conducting a martial arts exhibition, some of the Eastern Territory's big Sects and some famous people would also come to watch, so it was easy to distinguish who was a disciple of High Heaven Sect and who was an outsider.
Lu Sanjin said, "Brother Chu, Brother Yin Ling Zi, the people from my Imperial Sky Pavilion should have already arrived, and the martial arts exhibition will begin in a few days. During this time, we will go to my Imperial Sky Pavilion's station to rest for a while."
Chu Xiu and Yin Ling Zi both nodded and followed Lu Sanjin's arrangements.
The location of the martial arts exhibition between the two Sects changed every time. Last time it was Imperial Sky Pavilion, and this time it was High Heaven Sect's station.
Although the conflict between the two Sects was somewhat deep, it was still acceptable on the surface. At the very least, the station that High Heaven Sect arranged for Imperial Sky Pavilion was quite good. It was a special hall filled with cultivators belonging to Imperial Sky Pavilion.
After the Imperial Sky Pavilion cultivators guarding the entrance saw Lu Sanjin, they immediately respectfully greeted him as Sir and welcomed him inside.
"Did Pavilion Master and the others not come this time?" Lu Sanjin asked casually.
One of the guards replied, "Sir Pavilion Master has some matters to attend to and is unable to leave, so he asked Sir Zhong to bring some people here."
Hearing this name, Lu Sanjin's expression changed slightly.
Yin Ling Zi only cared about the surrounding scenery and did not pay attention to it. Chu Xiu noticed the anomaly and asked, "What's wrong?"
Lu Sanjin snorted lightly and said, "It's nothing, I just found someone I don't like. Zhong Qiushui is the Vice Pavilion Master of our Imperial Heaven Pavilion. However, he's a little stubborn and overbearing. If he says anything unpleasant later, I hope Brother Chu and Brother Yin Lingzi won't take it to heart. I'm the Eastern Region Wayfarer, so I'm not under his control. "
Hearing Lu Sanjin say this, Chu Xiu's face also showed a subtle look.
With the experience Chu Xiu had accumulated in the lower realm, with just a few words, he had already understood what was going on in Imperial Sky Pavilion. It was nothing more than internal discord.
There were many strange things going on within the sect.
In any case, Chu Xiu had never seen many Sects that could really work together.
However, as soon as this idea came to his mind, Chu Xiu glanced at Yin Ling Zi subconsciously.
It seemed that the Spirit Treasure Temple had always been very united, and there had never been any internal strife.
However, after thinking about it carefully, the number of people in the Spirit Treasure Temple had never exceeded three digits. If there was internal strife with such a small number of people, it would really be impossible.
Regarding Zhong Qiushui, in fact, even if Lu Sanjin did not introduce him, Chu Xiu also knew about him.
He had obtained the various records of the Wind Scent Pavilion, and there was a lot of information about the Imperial Sky Pavilion.
In fact, the Imperial Sky Pavilion had never had the position of Vice Pavilion Master. The Pavilion Master was the Pavilion Master. There was no need for a chief or a deputy.
The style of doing things that carried enormous weight was more suitable for the Imperial Sky Pavilion.
However, among the experts of the previous generation of the Imperial Sky Pavilion, the current Pavilion Master 'Heavenly King' Li Wuxiang and the Vice Pavilion Master 'Earthly Venerable' Zhong Qiushui were known as the Imperial Sky Pavilion's two heroes. The two of them almost suppressed the cultivators of the same realm in the High Heaven Sect to the point that they could not raise their heads.
In the end, during the selection of the Pavilion Master, the two of them were originally in the Heaven and Earth Mystic Realm. However, Li Wuxiang suddenly stepped into the Martial Immortal Stage and became the Pavilion Master of the current generation of the Imperial Sky Pavilion.
However, for some reason, the previous generation's old Pavilion Master did not arrange another position for Zhong Qiushui. Instead, he stood his ground and created a new position of Vice Pavilion Master for Zhong Qiushui.
However, from then on, a piece of news came out of the Imperial Sky Pavilion. The two people who were originally close friends often had conflicts. In any case, they were not on good terms.
Chu Xiu dared to guarantee that there was definitely something fishy going on. However, he was not very curious and could not be bothered to find out what was going on.
While he was thinking, Lu Sanjin had already brought Chu Xiu and Zhong Qiushui into the depths of the main hall. More than ten cultivators from the Imperial Sky Pavilion who came to participate in the martial arts exhibition were there.
Among the cultivators present, apart from two or three who were older, the rest were young cultivators. Even the weakest was at the Real Pellet Realm.
Among these people, a middle-aged man in a bright yellow luxurious robe sat in the middle.
The middle-aged man was tall and had a dignified appearance. Anyone who looked into his eyes would not be able to see his true gaze. If one tried to look, they would only see a glaring golden light.
This person was the Vice Pavilion Master of the Imperial Sky Pavilion, 'Earthly Venerable' Zhong Qiushui.
As soon as they met, Zhong Qiushui said coldly, "Lu Sanjin, didn't you receive the sect's order? The martial arts exhibition between the two sects is such a big event. Why are you dilly-dallying and rushing for time? "
