Ye Tianqing was blasted into nothingness by Chu Xiu's Lawful Embodiment of Heaven and Earth. Everyone present was dumbfounded.
This was especially so for the people from Cold River City. They all wore dumbfounded expressions.
They had clearly come to reinforce the Runuo Tribe. How did they end up giving their lives away?
This group of people was stunned for dozens of breaths' time before someone finally reacted and turned to flee.
Ye Tianqing was already dead. Could it be that they still had to face the god-like terrifying Chu Xiu here?
Chu Xiu took a deep breath and glanced at Xu Fengshan and the others. He said calmly, "What are you waiting for? Hurry up and chase after him. What are you waiting for?"
Hearing Chu Xiu's words, Xu Fengshan and the others seemed to react and immediately gave chase. However, there was little effect.
They had not pulled too far away from the cultivators of Cold River City to begin with. Now that they were focused on escaping, it was quite taxing for them to chase after them.
By the time they returned, Chu Xiu's side had also recovered some strength.
Remarkable powers were a manifestation of the laws of heaven and earth. However, it was too difficult to control a law of heaven and earth with the power of a human. The amount of power needed to do so was simply beyond everyone's imagination.
Ye Tianqing thought that only Martial Immortals could control remarkable powers. This was actually wrong. Whether one could control remarkable powers depended on one's talent. However, whether one could use remarkable powers depended on one's strength.
Even with the strength and foundation of a Profound Understanding of Heaven and Earth expert, it was extremely difficult for them to use remarkable powers.
Xu Fengshan carefully walked to Chu Xiu's side and said, "Milord, you killed Ye Tianqing this time. I'm afraid there will be trouble. Ye Tianqing's identity is extraordinary. He is a direct descendant of the Ye Clan of Cold River City. Furthermore, he is a layman disciple of the Unfettered Xinghe. "
Chu Xiu asked, "Is this the territory of my Imperial Sky Pavilion?"
Xu Fengshan was taken aback. Then, he said, "Yes."
"Then does Cold River City have a grudge against my Imperial Sky Pavilion?"
Xu Fengshan gave it some thought before saying, "There should be. Back when Cold River City was rising up, they frequently opposed our Imperial Sky Pavilion. Now, Cold River City is also in constant conflict with our Imperial Sky Pavilion."
Chu Xiu said calmly, "I killed a powerhouse from an opposing force in the Imperial Sky Pavilion's territory. This is clearly a meritorious deed. What trouble is there?"
Xu Fengshan smiled bitterly. He really couldn't figure out whether Chu Xiu really didn't understand or was pretending to not understand.
That being said, the Imperial Sky Pavilion did not want to fall out with the Cold River City. Otherwise, when the previous Prefectural Governor died, the Imperial Sky Pavilion would fall out with the Cold River City even if they had no evidence.
However, Xu Fengshan didn't dare to say anything more. After witnessing Chu Xiu's power, they couldn't afford to have any other thoughts.
In the face of absolute power, all they could do was obey.
The people from Cold River City didn't dare to cross the line for now. Chu Xiu could deal with the Runo Tribe without any worries.
However, after unleashing the Lawful Embodiment of Heaven and Earth, Chu Xiu was exhausted. He didn't plan to help the Black Luo Tribe kill someone.
Therefore, he asked Ke Cha to bring him to Hei Jie and let him use it to deal with the Runo Tribe's leader.
The Runo Tribe's leader wasn't much stronger than Hei Jie. The reason he could defeat Hei Jie previously was because of the supreme-grade weapon that Cold River City had given him.
However, no matter how supreme-grade that weapon was, could it be better than Chu Xiu's supreme-grade formation-breaking weapon?
Moreover, Chu Xiu wasn't worried that Hei Jie would have any thoughts about the formation-breaking weapon.
Firstly, he didn't dare to do so. Secondly, the formation-breaking weapon's spirit was personally refined by Chu Xiu. It was already integrated with his bloodline and had his mark on it.
Whoever he wanted to use it could only use it. Otherwise, the backlash from the weapon's spirit wouldn't feel good.
After obtaining the formation-breaking weapon, the Runo Tribe's formation was also depleted. However, there were no reinforcements from Cold River City.
Helplessly, the Runo Tribe's leader could only fight the Black Luo Tribe head-on. In the end, he was killed by Hei Jie, who wielded the formation-breaking weapon. The Runo Tribe was also devoured and destroyed.
Chu Xiu didn't see any of this. He had been recovering in the County Governor's Manor. It was Ke Cha who brought the formation-breaking weapon to Chu Xiu and told Chu Xiu everything.
After listening to Ke Cha, he thought for a moment and asked, "Is there any news from the other barbarians?"
Ke Cha was stunned and said, "No, it's the same as before."
Chu Xiu really couldn't figure out what these barbarians were thinking. He also didn't know if they were united or if they were fighting amongst themselves.
When facing other tribes, even if it was two tribes that had previously fought each other badly, they could still unite to fight against the enemy.
However, the Black Luo Tribe had risen so arrogantly in the entire southern barbaric lands. They had wiped out several tribes in a row, but the other tribes didn't react at all. This was too strange.
If it was a human sect, they would probably feel sad and be prepared to unite to fight against the enemy.
"Tell the Black Luo Tribe to seal off the territory of the Runo Tribe. Don't allow anyone to enter."
At this moment, Chu Xiu had yet to completely recover his vitality. Chu Xiu planned to wait until he had completely recovered before going to investigate.
At this moment, Cold River City was located in the easternmost part of the eastern region, Dongshan County.
The reason why Cold River City was named Cold River City was because it was built on a large river in the eastern region, the Xunlong River.
Cold River City took a different approach and built a huge bridge on the Xunlong River. At the same time, the city was also located on the bridge.
Inside the main hall, the martial artists of Cold River City who had survived from the hands of Chu Xiu were trembling as they recounted what had happened to the old man sitting in the main seat.
It was an old man wearing a black dragon robe. His face wasn't too old, and even his hair wasn't completely white. However, the ravines on his face were as if they had been carved by a blade, looking slightly cold.
This person was the City Lord of Cold River City, Ye Weikong. More than three hundred years ago, he had joined hands with Meng Xinghe and stirred up the entire eastern region. He was one of the two most dazzling people in the eastern region and even the entire Daluotian.
Starting from scratch, being able to snatch food from the mouths of those large sects that had existed for tens of thousands of years, and forcibly establishing a foundation like Cold River City, no matter how one looked at it, he was an outstanding person of the present age.
Even though Ye Weikong was now old, in the eastern region, he was still as famous as before.
Listening to the report of his subordinates, Ye Weikong's face didn't change in the slightest. There was no sadness or joy on his face, as if the person who had died was not a Mysterious Enlightenment Realm expert of Cold River City, nor a descendant of the Ye Clan that he was most optimistic about.
However, when he heard the words "successor of Gu Zun", a trace of reminiscence appeared in his eyes.
When he met Xiao Meng, he and Xiao Meng seemed to be just as young and in the prime of their lives.
He just didn't know how his old friend, who was also his only friend, was doing after so many years.
Seeing Ye Weikong pondering there, no one dared to say a word.
In Cold River City, Ye Weikong was the god, and his words were the law. No one could question him, and no one could question him. This was the prestige that he had built up in Cold River City.
After a long while, Ye Weikong said lightly, "What do you think?"
Someone said cautiously, "City Governor, Ye Tianqing was too rash in this matter.
He was in the wrong in this matter. It's fine if he went to the Imperial Sky Pavilion's territory, but he even fought to the death when he was intercepted.
Although he was the one who died in the end, there's nothing we can say if this matter is brought to the Imperial Sky Pavilion. "
Ye Tianqing was a little arrogant, and he wasn't very likable in Cold River City.
Moreover, Cold River City was indeed in the wrong in this matter. They couldn't find a reason to ask the Imperial Sky Pavilion for an explanation.
Ye Weikong said lightly, "Reason? When has Cold River City ever been reasonable?
Send someone to tell the Imperial Sky Pavilion that Cold River City wants an explanation for this matter.
If they don't give it to me, I'll go and get it myself. "
As soon as he said that, the people below immediately stopped talking.
No matter if this matter was reasonable or not, if Ye Weikong said it was reasonable, then it was reasonable.
…
In the Imperial Sky Pavilion's meeting hall, the old pavilion master, Li Wuxiang, Zhong Qiushui, and the rest of the Imperial Sky Pavilion's upper echelons were present. However, all of them looked grim.
Not long ago, someone from Cold River City came to the Imperial Sky Pavilion and arrogantly demanded an explanation from them. This was simply a humiliation.
Li Wuxiang had held it in for a long time, which was why he was not so angry that he killed that person directly.
Moreover, this matter was very troublesome. Chu Xiu killed a Heaven and Earth Illuminating Mystic Realm powerhouse from an enemy sect. This should have been a good thing.
However, the awkward thing was that the Imperial Sky Pavilion currently had no intention of falling out with Cold River City.
The reason was simple: they had no chance of winning.
If the Imperial Sky Pavilion was prepared to fall out with them, they would have done so when the previous Prefectural Governor died. Why would they wait until today?
The old pavilion master sighed and said, "Tell me, what do you plan to do about this matter?"
Li Wuxiang frowned and said, "It's difficult. Cold River City is very aggressive. I'm afraid they're certain that the Imperial Sky Pavilion is currently in a weak state and don't dare to fall out with them.
However, it's impossible for us to give them an explanation. The Imperial Sky Pavilion has stood for the Daluotian for tens of thousands of years. Do we have to apologize to them?
It's also impossible for us to hand over Chu Xiu. If we sacrifice our own people for the sake of Cold River City, we'll also offend the Martial Immortal behind him. Why bother? "
The old pavilion master turned his gaze to Zhong Qiushui again. "Qiushui, tell me your opinion."
Zhong Qiushui said calmly, "I have no opinion. Back then, you were the old pavilion master. You made the decision to let him go to Cangwu County. Now that something has happened, what can I think?"
Lu Sanjin, who was standing at the side, said, "In the past, when we faced the people from Cold River City, the Imperial Sky Pavilion always gave way. Now that Brother Chu has finally killed a Heaven and Earth Illuminating Mystic Realm powerhouse and helped the Imperial Sky Pavilion raise our prestige, how did this become a troublesome matter?"
Zhong Qiushui cast a glance at him and said with a cold smile, "You're thinking too simply. If I could kill him casually, I'd be able to crush someone like Ye Tianqing to death in three moves. What Divine Ice Armor? It's just a superficial thing that's tainted with a shred of the rules of Mystical Power. However, killing one will attract a whole group of them. If we really start a war with Cold River City, will the Martial Immortal behind Chu Xiu really step out and help the Imperial Sky Pavilion? "
