After listening to Lu Sanjin, Chu Xiu could imagine how complicated the situation of the entire Southern Wilderness was, but he was not worried.
Chu Xiu did not go there to share the burden of Imperial Sky Pavilion. He mainly went to find Ting Chun Yu and think about how he should enter High Heaven Sect and meet Dugu Weiwei.
Imperial Sky Pavilion did things swiftly and decisively. The next day, the news had already reached Li Wuxiang. Li Wuxiang directly announced this matter in front of the Imperial Sky Pavilion's senior executives.
After that, all the senior executives of Imperial Sky Pavilion looked at each other, not knowing what the old Pavilion Master meant.
If it was under normal circumstances, everyone would definitely object to letting Chu Xiu be a county governor.
This was not just a matter of trust, but also involved things such as strength, qualifications, and so on. Giving this position to an Honored Guest who had just joined Imperial Sky Pavilion and had reached the True Fire Spirit Refinement Realm was simply a joke.
However, everyone knew that Cangwu County was a hot potato, and no one wanted to go there.
Therefore, after the death of the previous county governor, Li Wuxiang personally went to the Southern Wilderness and killed a lot of people. Although it could be considered as revenge, he did not choose the position of the next county governor.
Now, throwing an Honored Guest like Chu Xiu over there seemed to be a bit of a trap.
Zhong Qiushui also frowned and could not figure it out.
At this time, Li Wuxiang turned his head to Zhong Qiushui and asked, "Deputy Pavilion Master, do you have any doubts?"
Zhong Qiushui shook his head and said lightly, "No, I agree."
Chu Xiu was someone Lu Sanjin had brought along, and Lu Sanjin was the old Pavilion Master's man. He also relied on Li Wuxiang when he did things, so no matter how one looked at it, he and Chu Xiu did not seem to be on the same side.
At this time, if Li Wuxiang and others were to send Chu Xiu to Cangwu County to be the county governor, then if Li Wuxiang and others had good intentions, it would be a trap for their own people. He could not be bothered to care.
If Li Wuxiang and the others were to play dirty tricks with Chu Xiu, then when Chu Xiu was really miserably cheated, he might be able to pull him to his side.
So no matter what, he had no reason to object.
Seeing that nobody objected, Li Wuxiang made a decision and said, "Alright then, it's decided. After Chu Xiu, he'll be the Imperial Sky Pavilion's Cangwu County's County Governor."
After saying that, Li Wuxiang called Chu Xiu over alone and gave him some words of encouragement, but they were all just polite words.
Li Wuxiang didn't know what to say.
From his point of view, the old pavilion master's move seemed to be a scam. However, he didn't know why Chu Xiu would agree to it.
Therefore, he could only say some official words to encourage Chu Xiu.
In the end, Li Wuxiang passed a token to Chu Xiu and said, "This is the Imperial Sky Pavilion's secret order. At the same time, it represents your identity as the County Governor. I've already informed the local cultivators of the Imperial Sky Pavilion in Cangwu County about your resignation. You can also bring some cultivators over to the headquarters. There might not be enough cultivators there. "
Li Wuxiang was being tactful when he said this. Not only were there not enough cultivators in Cangwu County, but they were also missing more than half of them.
During the barbarian riot previously, Cangwu County had already lost a portion of their people.
When the Cangwu County's Imperial Sky Pavilion cultivators saw that this place was dangerous, they used all sorts of connections to transfer them back to the headquarters or other counties. In the end, there were only a few people left.
Chu Xiu asked, "Is there anyone who's willing to go?"
Although Li Wuxiang didn't say it explicitly, Chu Xiu understood what he meant.
Li Wuxiang's expression was slightly awkward. He thought about it and said, "Let Lu Sanjin help you pick a few people. It's the sect's order. Even if they don't want to go, they have to go!"
Lu Sanjin was considered reliable. Li Wuxiang asked him to pick people, so he chose two True Fire Spirit Refinement Realm cultivators from the Imperial Sky Pavilion's core forces and over ten Real Pellet Realm cultivators to follow Chu Xiu.
These people belonged to Li Wuxiang, the pavilion master. Although the number of people was a little shabby, and they were a little unwilling, they could only grit their teeth and accept the order from the higher-ups.
Before leaving, Lu Sanjin called everyone over. He pointed at a tall and sturdy middle-aged man and said, "This is Qin Zhong. He used to guard the Imperial Sky Pavilion for over 50 years."
He then pointed at a slightly older old man and said, "This is Old Mister Xu Fengshan. He used to follow six county governors and is very experienced in handling the affairs of the underworld."
Chu Xiu nodded. He could tell from the two people that Lu Sanjin had chosen that he was indeed attentive.
Although Qin Zhong was a gatekeeper, in reality, how could a person who could guard a top sect like the Imperial Sky Pavilion be an ordinary person? He must be someone with extraordinary looks and strength. This Qin Zhong looked like a piece of good material for a hired thug.
As for Xu Fengshan, he was clearly an experienced old man in the underworld.
Perhaps Lu Sanjin was afraid that Chu Xiu did not have the "experience" to manage his subordinates and was afraid that he would not be able to control them, so he sent Xu Fengshan.
The two of them cupped their hands at Chu Xiu and greeted, "Greetings, Young Master Chu."
Although their attitude was respectful, there was some dissatisfaction in their tone.
It was normal when one thought about it. Cangwu County was a fire pit, and whoever went there would be unlucky. They did not want to go in the first place, but now they were forced to jump into the fire pit with Chu Xiu. It would be strange if they were happy.
Chu Xiu did not care about those things. He cupped his hands at Lu Sanjin and said, "Brother Lu, I'll take my leave then."
Lu Sanjin nodded and said, "Brother Chu, have a safe journey. I wish you success."
After leading these people on their journey, Chu Xiu immediately rushed to Cangwu County at the fastest speed possible.
Along the way, Qin Zhong and Xu Fengshan were not in the mood to talk to Chu Xiu because they were not in a good mood. However, Chu Xiu could not be bothered to talk to them either. He only cared about the journey, which made Qin Zhong and Xu Fengshan feel a little uneasy.
When it was time to rest at night, Qin Zhong quietly walked to Xu Fengshan's side and secretly transmitted his voice, "Elder Xu, what do you think this kid is doing? Is it because the higher-ups think highly of him and want him to go to Cangwu County, or is it because someone doesn't like him and wants him to go there? "
Xu Fengshan scratched his head and said, "This old man can't see it clearly now.
Right now, Cangwu County is very chaotic. Everyone knows this. Even Heaven and Earth Mystic Realm experts are not willing to go there, let alone others.
However, this Young Master Chu is said to be the successor of a Prime Venerable, so his status is naturally noble. There's no reason for the higher-ups to trick a Prime Venerable's successor.
We are all personally chosen by Elder Lu. Judging from his attitude, it doesn't seem like he's being targeted. Strange, really strange. "
Qin Zhong frowned and said, "Then what should we do? Since we've been singled out to jump into the fire pit, we should have a plan. But look at him, he hasn't even said a word along the way. What is he thinking? He doesn't even know what's going on. I heard that these Prime Venerable's successors have been cultivating in the mountains and forests since they were young. Have their brains gone bad from cultivating? "
Xu Fengshan said in a low voice, "Be careful with your words! This Young Master is very close to Elder Lu and is also the successor of a Prime Venerable. He even defeated High Heaven Sect's Xuanyuan Wushuang. His strength and status are not something we can compare with. I know you're a little unhappy about going to Cangwu County, but you should be careful with your words. Don't offend this Young Master Chu. "
Qin Zhong nodded. Although he didn't seem to mind, he still remembered Xu Fengshan's advice.
Since Chu Xiu wasn't going to say anything, he could only let them speak first.
Xu Fengshan cautiously walked to Chu Xiu's side and asked, "Young Master Chu, do you have any plans for going to Cangwu County?"
Chu Xiu asked in response, "Why do I need a plan? Is there anything I need to plan for in Cangwu County? "
Xu Fengshan was taken aback. He said, "There are many things. For example, the previous County Governor has just passed away, and the position of County Governor has been vacant for a few months. The people's hearts are not stable.
Also, after the uprising of the barbarians, although Pavilion Master killed a lot of them, there will definitely be others who will cause trouble.
Cold River City is so close to Cangwu County. They might come to cause trouble. "
Now, even Xu Fengshan couldn't figure out if this person was really muddle-headed or just pretending to be muddle-headed.
Chu Xiu pointed to himself and said indifferently, "Is there a need for a plan for these things?
I am the County Governor of Cangwu County. I will kill anyone who disobeys me.
Those barbarians aren't of our race, so they must have ulterior motives. If they dare to cause trouble, I will kill them as well.
Cangwu County is the Imperial Sky Pavilion's territory. Whoever dares to cause trouble will be killed as well.
Is there a need for a plan for such a simple thing? "
Xu Fengshan was dumbfounded when he heard this. He simply couldn't find words to describe his feelings.
'Just listen to this. Are you even human?'
His temper was considered good. However, when he heard Chu Xiu spouting nonsense, he was so infuriated that he scoffed and turned to leave.
When Chu Xiu saw Xu Fengshan's action, he did not say anything else.
He was not pretending to be a fool in front of Xu Fengshan. He was really planning to do this.
When he was in the lower realm, he had forces by his side. He had to consider the conflicts between various forces, the consequences, and other things. Therefore, he fought openly and secretly, and there were all sorts of schemes.
However, this was the Daluotian Continent. Chu Xiu did not plan to sell his life to the Imperial Sky Pavilion. Therefore, he could do as he pleased without any reservations.
At this time, if he could speak with his fists, he would speak with his fists first.
If he could solve the problem by killing one person, then he would not waste any more words.
Moreover, if Ting Chun Yu was really in the hands of the barbarians in the southern barbaric land, it was basically impossible for Chu Xiu to get her without killing them.
As for Xu Fengshan and Qin Zhong, he was too lazy to explain anything to them.
They were sent by Lu Sanjin, and their roots were in the Imperial Sky Pavilion headquarters. They could maintain absolute loyalty, so Chu Xiu only needed them to be obedient.
The group continued on their way, but the atmosphere became more awkward. Even the dozen or so Real Pellet State martial artists didn't communicate with Chu Xiu. The group seemed to be divided into two groups.
However, while they were on their way, Chu Xiu suddenly realized that someone was watching him.
That feeling was the same as when he was in Lingxiao City. Chu Xiu tried to check several times, but he didn't find anyone.
He believed in his spiritual sense, but the person who spied on him obviously had better means.
