In the True Martial Arts Church, Lu Changliu and a group of martial artists from the True Martial Arts Church were cultivating with their eyes closed.
It was said that the statue of the True Martial Arts Church had the Taoist connotation left behind by the True Martial Arts Church. Cultivating under the statue would increase the probability of obtaining the Taoist connotation.
At that moment, Lu Changliu suddenly opened his eyes and said, "Why do I feel a little uneasy?"
The rest of the people present looked at Lu Changliu in surprise. They did not know what he was thinking about.
At that moment, the incense of the True Martial Arts Church was flourishing. The power of the Dao Sect had finally overshadowed the Buddhism Sect. What was the Sect Leader worried about?
At that moment, a disciple of the True Martial Arts Church pushed the door open hurriedly. He had a panicked look on his face. He was trembling and could not utter a complete sentence.
"Calm down! The sky is not falling. What are you panicking for? "
Lu Changliu let out a stern shout. His voice contained a calming and calming force. Only then did that disciple finally stop panicking.
"Chu Xiu is here!"
As soon as the four words were spoken, everyone in the True Martial Arts Church had a change of expression.
They would rather the sky fall than hear those four words.
Why did Chu Xiu come to the True Martial Arts Church after he had just destroyed the Great Light Temple and Subodhi Zen Temple? Could it be that he wanted to destroy the True Martial Arts Church?
Before they could react, Chu Xiu, who was following behind the disciple, had already pushed the door open and entered.
Chu Xiu chuckled and said, "Fellow Taoists, please don't blame me for being rude. It's just that your disciple from the True Martial Arts Sect is a little too rash. He had just reported his name and he had already fled in panic. He didn't even inform us. Do I, Chu Xiu, look so hateful? Or do you think I will eat you? "
If it was a blessing, it was not a curse. If it was a curse, it could not be avoided.
Lu Changliu took a deep breath and said, "Our disciples are young and do not know the rules. Please forgive them, Cult Master Chu."
Before Chu Xiu destroyed the Great Light Temple and the Subodhi Monastery, even the orthodox martial arts world would not compare Chu Xiu to Dugu Weiwei. The Cult Leader of the Devil Cult would always be Dugu Weiwei. Chu Xiu was just the Master of the Kunlun Devil Cult.
But now, everyone had no choice but to acknowledge Chu Xiu's current position. He was the leader of the Kunlun Devil Cult.
Chu Xiu waved his hand and said, "It's just a small matter. I won't bicker with youngsters. Actually, I'm only here to find someone."
As he spoke, Chu Xiu turned his gaze to the crowd and said, "May I ask, who is the Master of Ziwei Hall, Fa Yuan Zhenren, Zhuge Qingshan?"
Among the Taoist priests, a tall and skinny old Taoist priest with a sage-like demeanor was stunned. His body subconsciously shrank back.
It was not a good feeling to be targeted by a ferocious Cult Leader like Chu Xiu.
Lu Changliu quickly said, "May I ask, Cult Master Chu, how did Junior Brother Zhuge offend Cult Master Chu or the Kunlun Devil Cult? I'm sure there must be some misunderstanding here. From what I know, Junior Brother Zhuge has never stepped out of the Real Martial Arts Cult in recent years. He has been wholeheartedly studying formations in the Cult. "
Chu Xiu said, "You don't have to be nervous, Master Lu. I've heard of Priest Zhuge's unparalleled skills in formations.
So, I want Priest Zhuge to help me set up a formation.
This time, I'm not here to cause trouble. I'm here to invite someone. "
Hearing Chu Xiu's words, everyone was stunned.
No one expected Chu Xiu to ask the Real Martial Arts Cult to help him set up a formation.
Actually, this was not a difficult matter. It was normal for the big sects to borrow formation masters from each other.
Within the Taoism, everyone knew that Zhuge Qingshan's mastery in formations was high. So, Chunyang Dao Sect and the Celestial Master Abode had actually asked Zhuge Qingshan to help. They would just give him some compensation after the matter was over.
However, now that Chu Xiu was here to invite him, the situation had changed.
Who was Chu Xiu? He was the Cult Leader of the Kunlun Devil Cult. He had just destroyed the Subodhi Monastery and the Great Light Temple. He was the kind of demon who could stop children from crying at night.
At this time, if the Real Martial Arts Cult sent someone to work for Chu Xiu and set up a formation for the Kunlun Devil Cult, they would be criticized by the entire orthodox martial arts community.
So, at this moment, Lu Changliu and the rest of the people from the Real Martial Arts Cult were silent. They did not know if they should reject or agree.
Seeing Lu Changliu and the rest, the smile on Chu Xiu's face gradually disappeared. He said, "Why? Are you unwilling, Master Lu? Or are you worried that I can't afford the compensation? "
Lu Changliu said helplessly, "That's not what I meant …"
"Then what do you mean, Master Lu?!"
Chu Xiu took a step forward and said coldly, "Sect Master Lu, I know what you're worried about. You're just afraid that by sending people to help me, you'll be criticized by the other righteous martial artists. Don't worry about that. If anyone dares to gossip about me, I'll send someone to kill them immediately. "
Lu Changliu was instantly shocked. He quickly said, "No, absolutely not!"
Originally, the matter was not that serious. However, if Chu Xiu did that, the Real Martial Arts Cult would be in cahoots with the Devil Cult.
Chu Xiu slowed down his voice and said, "Master Lu, to be honest, I'm not against the Real Martial Arts Cult this time. I'm really going to ask Priest Zhuge to help me.
To put it bluntly, with the current strength of the Kunlun Devil Cult, it's only a matter of a word if we want to destroy the Real Martial Arts Cult.
If people respect me, I'll respect them tenfold. This is the principle of how I, Chu Xiu, do things.
Although the Real Martial Arts Cult has some conflicts with me, it's because of the relationship between the two camps. I don't really care about it.
This time, let's follow the rules. "
After saying that, Chu Xiu took out a booklet and said, "This is an ancient Taoist scripture from the ancient times. It should have been lost in Jianghu. In exchange for Priest Zhuge's help, I've already respected the Real Martial Arts Cult. I'm not asking you to return it tenfold. According to the rules, just return it a foot. How you choose is entirely up to you, Master Lu. "
That booklet was indeed an ancient Taoist scripture. It was copied by Chu Xiu from the book collection in the Cangwu Prefecture's Royal Sky Pavilion. It was not a very precious thing. However, if it was in the mortal world, it would be a lost secret scripture.
Lu Changliu revealed a wry smile at the corner of his mouth. He stretched out his hand and took the booklet. He said to Chu Xiu, "Junior Brother Zhuge rarely comes out of the Real Martial Arts Cult. Although he's not young, he doesn't know much about the ways of the world. If he offends Official Chu, please forgive him."
Chu Xiu revealed a smile at the corner of his mouth. Lu Changliu had compromised in the end.
He understood what Chu Xiu meant. If he didn't hand over the person, he would exterminate the sect. It was a blatant threat.
If someone respected Chu Xiu, he would return it tenfold.
Now that Chu Xiu had respected the Real Martial Arts Cult, if the Real Martial Arts Cult didn't return the tenfold to Chu Xiu, it would not end well for them.
However, Zhuge Qingshan looked at Lu Changliu with a dumbfounded expression.
Did you just sell me out like that?
Lu Changliu patted Zhuge Qingshan's shoulder helplessly and secretly transmitted a message, "Junior Brother Zhuge, based on Chu Xiu's character, I'm afraid he would have taken action if he was planning something. The Real Martial Arts Cult isn't qualified to be Chu Xiu's enemy anymore. Since he came to talk about this matter 'politely', he should really be asking you to study the formation. Don't overthink it. "
Zhuge Qingshan nodded helplessly.
He also knew that with the current strength of the Real Martial Arts Cult, they really couldn't compete with Chu Xiu. They could only agree to whatever Chu Xiu said.
After watching Chu Xiu leave with Zhuge Qingshan, Lu Changliu let out a sigh. That sigh contained a great sense of defeat.
For so many years, Lu Changliu had been acting like a good person. In fact, he didn't really pursue or value power.
It was only now that he knew how pathetic it was to not have power.
Having power didn't mean that you could do whatever you wanted, but it gave you the right to say no.
Chu Xiu didn't delay and immediately brought Zhuge Qingshan to Eastern Qi.
Currently, the Jianghu was in turmoil. The Northern Yan and Western Chu Royal Families had lost their right to speak in the whole world. Only Eastern Qi still had some power left to compete with the Jianghu.
Moreover, over the years, the Righteous and Diabolical Sects had been fighting non-stop. Except for the one time when the Eastern Qi Royal Family fought against the Northern Yan Royal Family, they didn't lose much. Therefore, they still had a lot of power left.
Currently, Kunlun's Chu Xiu's name had already reached the stage where everyone knew of him. The moment Chu Xiu reported his name, the Imperial Palace's guards looked as though they had seen a ghost.
However, Eastern Qi and Kunlun Devil Cult had never been related. Therefore, they were only surprised but not too surprised. After a while, they invited Chu Xiu into the main hall.
In a short period of time, the palace of Eastern Qi seemed to be turned upside down. Experts from the Imperial Consecration Hall, Eastern Qi Royal Family, and White Tiger Hall and other Jianghu forces that had defected to Eastern Qi were all present.
In just a short period of time, the whole palace of Eastern Qi seemed to have been turned upside down. Experts from the Imperial Consecration Hall, the Eastern Qi Royal Family, and the Jianghu forces like White Tiger Hall that had defected to Eastern Qi were all present.
This was not the Daluotian Kingdom. Not many sects could have ten experts of True Fire Spiritual Cultivation Realm.
After many years, the originally stout Lü Hau Chang was now skinny and old. It was obvious that he didn't have much longer to live.
This man could be considered a talent. It was said that not long ago, he married several concubines into the palace. It was not easy for him to live until now with such extravagance. He almost made his son an old man.
Facing Chu Xiu, Lü Hau Chang forced himself to be spirited. He smiled and said, "I wonder why Cult Master Chu has come to Eastern Qi?"
Chu Xiu waved his hand. He didn't beat around the bush and said directly, "I'm here to borrow someone from Your Majesty. The Array Phantom King, Chao Shen, from the Imperial Consecration Hall of Eastern Qi. I'd like to trouble Your Majesty to lend me him for a while. I'll pay you well. "
Hearing this, the smile on Lü Hau Chang's face froze.
Chao Shen controlled almost half of Eastern Qi's arrays. If they fell into the hands of outsiders, there would be endless trouble.
Therefore, he coughed and said, "Cult Master Chu, I'm sorry. Chao Shen has some matters to attend to recently and can't leave. Why don't you bring me whatever array you want to make and let Chao Shen do it."
Chu Xiu couldn't be bothered to talk nonsense with Lü Hau Chang. He released his aura and said coldly, "Your Majesty doesn't want to lend it to me? What if I insist on borrowing it? "
