After Chu Xiu returned to the Blue Dragon Society, Fire Slave and Wolf King both knew what Chu Xiu had done. However, they were smart enough not to ask Chu Xiu what he had obtained from the Zhang family in Daishan County.
The freedom of the Heavenly Sin Branch was still very high. There were so many tasks that they could choose from. In addition, they did not have the strength that Chu Xiu had to look down on a clan. This kind of thing was something that Chu Xiu could do, but they could not.
After returning, Chu Xiu did not choose to carry out the task. Instead, he continued to stay in the Blue Dragon Society to cultivate and digest all the things he had obtained from the Zhang family.
Chu Xiu never accumulated things like cultivation resources. He always used them when he had them, and when he ran out of them, he would take on tasks and continue to earn cultivation resources.
From the Inner Invulnerability Stage to the Physical Invulnerability Stage required the most cultivation resources. On the contrary, from the Physical Invulnerability Stage to the Three Flowers at One's Prominence or the Five Qis Origin Stage, what was needed was not a large number of cultivation resources, but one's own potential and comprehension.
Just as Chu Xiu was almost done with his cultivation and was about to come out, the Ghost Hand King suddenly called Chu Xiu and asked him to go to the square to wait for the Heavenly Sin Branch Leader.
When Chu Xiu arrived at the square, he found that 80% of the killers in the Heavenly Sin Branch were gathered there.
Moreover, all the killers above Level Four with code names were there.
Chu Xiu asked Fire Slave in a low voice, "What's going on?"
Fire Slave chuckled and said, "There should be a big group mission. Otherwise, we wouldn't all be called here. Looking at the current scale, this group mission is not small."
After a while, the Heavenly Sin Branch Leader walked out and said to everyone present in a deep voice, "The branch recently accepted a level six extermination mission. I was prepared to go personally, but I was entangled with other more difficult missions and couldn't get away. So this time, the mission will be handed over to you. You don't need to contact the employer. Just kill them. "
As he spoke, Sky Crime Branch Leader gave everyone a copy of the mission brief. There was only the mission objective and no information about the employer.
Looking at the mission brief, Chu Xiu had a strange expression on his face. How much hatred did the person who issued the mission have with the other party?
This task was very simple. The Elder of the Spirit Sword Sect, the number one sect in the Autumn Ridge County, "Hidden Spirit Sword" Yao Nanqian, was ready to retire from the Jianghu. He was going to hold a "washing his hands in a golden basin" ceremony at the Yao Family Manor in the Autumn Ridge County.
What the Blue Dragon Society wanted to do was to kill Yao Nanqian and destroy the Yao Family before the Golden Basin Washing Ceremony was completed. It had to be said that this mission was quite vicious.
Washing his hands in a golden basin meant that he would completely withdraw from the martial arts world. He would let go of all his grudges and prepare for retirement. However, the employer wanted him to die before he could prepare for retirement. This could be said to be a huge grudge.
Moreover, it was not an exaggeration to set this mission as a Level Six mission. Although the strength of the Yao Family was not strong, with only Yao Nanqian being a physical invulnerability martial artist, if they made a move during the Golden Basin Washing Ceremony, someone would definitely intervene in this matter.
Not to mention, although the Sect Leader of the Spirit Sword Sect would not come, he would send other physical invulnerability Elders or Deacons.
Moreover, the Spirit Sword Sect was the number one sect in the Qiuling County, and Yao Nanqian was also a senior who had been in the martial arts world for decades. There would probably be a lot of people who would come to participate in his Golden Basin Washing Ceremony. Among those people, who would just watch from the sidelines and who would make a move, it was still unknown. Therefore, setting this mission as a Level Six mission was not only the intention of the Blue Dragon Society, but also the choice of the employer.
The Heavenly Sin Branch Leader looked at the crowd and said, "For this mission, all the assassins above Level Four must go. The rest of the assassins below Level Four must also go. For this kind of large-scale group mission, there must be a temporary commander. Who among you will take this position? "
The Ghost Hand King, Fire Slave, Wolf King, and the others exchanged a look, then they all kept their silence and remained silent.
They were only in the Inner Aura Stage. Usually, they could be the commander when they brought other Innate Stage assassins to carry out the mission. However, now there were three more powerful existences, so of course, they could not steal this limelight.
Cruel Sword Yan Bugui directly said, "I'm not interested."
He could kill people, but with his character, if he really wanted to be the commander, perhaps he would only say the word "kill". His style of doing things was very simple and crude.
Everyone present set their eyes on Chu Xiu and Tang Ya.
In the past, when they carried out the mission, Tang Ya was the temporary commander, and with his physical invulnerability, he was one of the strongest in the Heavenly Sin Branch.
However, the mission of exterminating the Yue Family by Chu Xiu was too dazzling. With the power of one person, he was able to directly exterminate the entire Yue Family. It could be seen that Chu Xiu's ability in strategy.
Therefore, it was a difficult problem to decide who should be the leader of these two people.
The Heavenly Sin Branch Leader looked at the two of them and suddenly said, "Last time, Chu Xiu's performance in exterminating the Yue Family was not bad. Moreover, the employer requested us to make the mission a little bigger. Chu Xiu's reputation in the Jianghu should be a little bigger. Therefore, this time, Chu Xiu will be the leader. Tang Ya, do you have any objections?"
Tang Ya only smiled and said casually, "I will obey Lord Branch Leader's orders."
Chu Xiu also cupped his hands expressionlessly and said, "Understood."
This Branch Leader had used too many methods to keep his subordinates in check. His identity as a commander was limited to this operation and did not have any actual power. Just for such a small matter, he still wanted to sow discord between him and Tang Ya, both openly and secretly.
In fact, Division Leader Heavenly Sin could have given this mission to Chu Xiu. However, Division Leader Heavenly Sin had asked for Tang Ya's opinion at the end, which carried a strong sense of alienation and provocation. It made Tang Ya feel that he was inferior to Chu Xiu. Division Leader Heavenly Sin even hinted that if Tang Ya did not agree, he could say it out loud.
Actually, the Heavenly Sin Branch Leader did this only because Chu Xiu had been too close to Ghost Hand King and the others recently.
The Heavenly Sin Branch Leader did not want his subordinates to kill each other, but at the same time, he did not want them to be too close.
Right now, it was fine that Chu Xiu was close to Ghost Hand King and the others, but he did not want his three strongest assassins to be so close as well.
This was all guessed by Chu Xiu, but he did not say anything. There was no need to ruin the Heavenly Sin Branch Leader's reputation for such a small matter.
As for whether Tang Ya bore a grudge against him or not, Chu Xiu did not care about it.
As long as the other side did not carry out the grudge in his heart, Chu Xiu naturally could not be bothered to care about them.
In other words, ever since Chu Xiu stepped into the Jianghu, he had killed many people and offended even more people. There were many people who secretly bore grudges and even wanted to kill him. Right now, he did not care about this one.
The Heavenly Sin Branch Leader nodded his head in satisfaction and said, "Since this is the case, you all should act quickly. The earlier you complete the mission, the more missions the branch has accumulated."
"Understood!" The assassins present all replied respectfully.
…
Outside the Anyang Prefecture of the Autumn Ridge County, the Yao Family Village was located near a small lake outside the Anyang Prefecture. The scenery was very beautiful.
Previously, the Yao Family Village had been relatively low-key. However, today, because Yao Nanqian was going to hold the washing of hands in a golden basin ceremony, the Yao Family Village could be said to be very lively.
Outside the Yao Family Village, several of Yao Nanqian's sons were greeting the guests at the entrance. The guests were all disciples from the big sects, and there were also some martial artists from small sects or loose cultivators who came to watch the ceremony.
Of course, their treatment was not as polite as those from the big sects. Usually, they would just send the congratulatory gifts and then enter the village to find a place to sit.
Yao Nanqian's reputation in the martial arts world of the Autumn Ridge County was relatively big. He should be the most senior in the Spirit Sword Sect. Moreover, he was also well-known for his love of guiding the younger generation. It could be said that he was a highly respected elder in Jianghu. Coupled with the power and influence of the Spirit Sword Sect, the number of people who came today was not small.
Moreover, the washing of hands in a golden basin ceremony was not common in the Jianghu. Many people came with curiosity to watch the ceremony.
Actually, most of the martial artists who said that they would retire from the Jianghu were just looking for a quiet place to live out their retirement. They would not hold any ceremony because this thing was too important.
Once the washing of hands in a golden basin ceremony was held, it meant that you could no longer meddle in any Jianghu affairs. Your contacts, your relationship, and your prestige in the Jianghu would be completely washed away along with the washing of hands in a golden basin.
After washing of hands in a golden basin, meddling in the Jianghu affairs would be a violation of the rules. Even if it was Yao Nanqian's son who wanted to borrow Yao Nanqian's power, he would not be able to do so. It could be said that this washing of hands in a golden basin completely washed away the identity of a Jianghu person.
Of course, there were also benefits. After washing of hands in a golden basin, he would be recognized by all parties. Even those who had a grudge against him could no longer come to find trouble with him. Otherwise, that would be a violation of the rules of the Jianghu, and he would be attacked by everyone.
The Jianghu disciple and the Jianghu veteran stepped into the Jianghu. No matter if they were good or bad, once they realized the power and influence, who would want to return to their family and be a rich man? Who would want to put down the sword in their hand and let it rust in the corner?
Other places might not know, but at least in Qiuling County, in the past decade or so, Yao Nanqian was the first person to hold the washing of hands in a golden basin ceremony. He had officially washed his hands in a golden basin in front of many Jianghu people and retired from the Jianghu.
As for the others, most of them were just selling dog meat. They said that they were going to retire from the Jianghu, but there was no telling when they would come back to the Jianghu for some reason, just like Xu Chongyang, who had been killed by Chu Xiu.
Inside the Yao Clan Manor, Lu You carried a fan on his back and waved it in his hand. He wobbled around the Yao Clan Manor, greeting all the cultivators he knew and did not know.
He was an Anemophilia under the Wind Sweeping Tower's Daishan County branch. However, there were some problems with the Wind Sweeping Tower in Qiuling County, so it was temporarily under the jurisdiction of Daishan County. Now that such a big thing had happened, he naturally had to come and take a look so that he could get first-hand information.
At this moment, a few unaffiliated martial artists who were on good terms with Lu You saw him approaching. They all greeted him and said, "Brother Lu, I knew that you would be needed at such an occasion. Come, come, come. Come and sit. Tell us about the inside story of Old Master Yao's retirement from the Jianghu this time."
Lu You walked over and sat down. He used his fan to point at the main entrance and said, "Don't be anxious. The big shots haven't all arrived yet. Today is a big event that you guys can only see once in a decade. It's enough for you to brag about."
