Compared to most of the buildings in the lower realm, the headquarters of the Imperial Sky Pavilion was indeed extremely majestic.
However, Chu Xiu also reminded Lu Jiang He and the others to calm down after entering the Imperial Sky Pavilion. They should not look around like country bumpkins who had never seen the world. Otherwise, they would be seen through.
After entering the headquarters of the Imperial Sky Pavilion, Lu Sanjin arranged for someone to bring Lu Jiang He and the others to look around and rest. Meanwhile, he brought Chu Xiu to meet Li Wuxiang.
When Li Wuxiang saw Chu Xiu, he stood up and said with a bright smile, "I'm aware of what Chu did in Cangwu County. He killed Ye Tianqing and forced Qi Wuhen to retreat. In the end, even that old b * stard Ye Weikong returned without accomplishing anything. Chu has really made the Imperial Sky Pavilion proud."
Lu Sanjin, who was standing at the side, revealed a surprised expression. He did not know what Li Wuxiang meant by that.
Not long ago, Li Wuxiang was still angry at Chu Xiu for not knowing what was good for him and getting into big trouble.
Chu Xiu said calmly, "Pavilion Master, you're being too polite. This is what I should do."
Li Wuxiang laughed and said, "However, among all the Prefectural Governors in the Imperial Sky Pavilion, you, Chu, have done the best. You're not like Jie Yingzong. When he got into trouble, he still had to rely on Chu to save him. By the way, is your master still in Cangwu County? "
Chu Xiu frowned slightly and shook his head. "He's not here anymore. Brother Lu told me that Ye Weikong of Cold River City is narrow-minded and might harm me. That's why I asked my master to come over and help me block him. Now that the trouble has been resolved, my master has naturally left."
Li Wuxiang waved his hand and said, "The trouble has been resolved? The trouble is far from being resolved!
You don't know that old b * stard Ye Weikong. When he was young, he was extremely ruthless and vengeful.
You killed a junior of the Ye Clan that he valued the most and forced him to retreat in front of everyone. You've humiliated him. He won't let you off just like that.
There was only one way to solve the problem, and that was to destroy Cold River City!
Chu, since your master has already made a move, why not make a second move?
Our Imperial Heaven Pavilion is willing to invite your master to be our Foreign Minister. Both sides will join forces and break into Cold River City. At that time, your master will have the first pick of all the treasures in Cold River City! "
When Li Wuxiang said these words, Chu Xiu finally understood what he meant. Li Wuxiang actually had such an idea, causing Chu Xiu to sneer.
What the Imperial Sky Pavilion lacked the most right now was high-end combat power. The old pavilion master was already old, and Li Wuxiang alone was no match for Ye Weikong. Hence, they could only think of a way from the outside world. This way was to drag Chu Xiu's master down with them.
It was a pity that Chu Xiu didn't have a master. Even if he did, did Li Wuxiang really think of himself as a three-year-old child?
Joining forces with the Imperial Sky Pavilion would mean taking a huge risk and breaking the rules of the line of Gu Zun. In the end, he would only be able to obtain some dispensable resources while the Imperial Sky Pavilion would gain all the benefits. Who would be willing to make such a losing deal?
Even Lu Sanjin, who was standing at the side, felt that something was wrong. It was obvious that Li Wuxiang was using Chu Xiu.
However, just as he was about to say something, Li Wuxiang glared at him and swallowed his words.
Chu Xiu said indifferently, "I'll have to disappoint you, Pavilion Master. It's a rule that the line of Gu Zun doesn't interfere in the disputes of the Jianghu. Once my master interferes, he will break the rule and will be boycotted by the other Gu Zun. This time, he only intervened because I'm in danger, so he made an exception. He can't interfere at any other time. "
Li Wuxiang frowned and said, "You have to think this through. Your danger hasn't been resolved, and Ye Weikong is still eyeing you like a tiger watching its prey. Moreover, the Imperial Sky Pavilion doesn't have the manpower to help you. Otherwise, we would have sent people to resolve the trouble in Fanglin County. "
This time, Lu Sanjin really couldn't take it anymore. He felt that Li Wuxiang was going overboard.
No matter what, he was the Pavilion Master of the Imperial Sky Pavilion. Now that the Imperial Sky Pavilion couldn't even protect him, this was clearly a humiliation. Why did it become a way for Li Wuxiang to threaten his own people?
Chu Xiu said expressionlessly, "Since the Imperial Sky Pavilion can't protect me, and I can't afford to offend Ye Weikong, it's best that I leave. After all, I'm the successor of a Gu Zun. At most, I'll end my experience in the Jianghu early and return to the deep mountains and forests with my master to continue cultivating. Do you think Ye Weikong will chase me so far to cause trouble for me? "
Li Wuxiang's expression darkened when he heard Chu Xiu's shameless words.
Indeed, Chu Xiu was the most fearless one. After all, he had a "backer" behind him. He could come and go as he pleased. He didn't have to fight to the death with the Imperial Sky Pavilion in Cold River City.
When Chu Xiu saw that Li Wuxiang was silent for a long time, he said indifferently, "If there's nothing else, Pavilion Master, I'll take my leave."
"Let's go."
Li Wuxiang waved his hand casually and didn't say anything else.
However, when Chu Xiu walked out of the door, he vaguely heard the sound of something being smashed in the room.
After he walked out, Lu Sanjin said to Chu Xiu with an apologetic expression, "Brother Chu, please forgive me. I didn't expect the Pavilion Master to call you here to say this. Recently, there's a lot of trouble in the Imperial Sky Pavilion. There's also the external pressure from Cold River City. With so many things weighing on the Pavilion Master, it's inevitable that he'll feel some pressure and do something … irrational. "
When it came to this, even Lu Sanjin felt a little embarrassed.
It was obvious that Li Wuxiang was scheming to make use of Chu Xiu. It was simply a trap. It wasn't as simple as being irrational.
Chu Xiu waved his hand casually and said, "This matter has nothing to do with you, Brother Lu. But now that I've offended the Pavilion Master, can I still use the Imperial Sky Pavilion's Sutra Depository?"
Lu Sanjin heaved a sigh of relief and said, "Of course you can use it. The Pavilion Master doesn't have the final say in the Imperial Sky Pavilion. Brother Chu, please wait for a while. I'll arrange for you to enter the Sutra Depository."
Lu Sanjin was relieved when he saw that Chu Xiu wasn't too angry.
However, he didn't know that Chu Xiu was indeed not angry because there was no need for him to be angry.
To Chu Xiu, he didn't have the slightest bit of loyalty to the Emperor Sky Pavilion. The things he did in the Southern Barbaric Land were more like establishing himself as a king.
Both sides were using and scheming against each other. Since that was the case, what else did he have to be angry about?
At this time, Zhong Qiushui appeared out of nowhere and said with a sneer, "I heard that you seemed to have an affair with Li Wuxiang? This is very normal.
Li Wuxiang this person, on the surface, looks like he's supremely righteous and broad-minded, but in reality, he only has himself in his eyes, only power and interests!
He's a selfish person. When he needs you, everything is fine. But when you can't satisfy his interests or block his way, he won't hesitate to fall out with you. "
The various conflicts and grudges between Li Wuxiang and Zhong Qiushui, Chu Xiu had long known about it.
Looking at it now, the various grudges between these two people weren't considered light. This already started to openly attack him.
Chu Xiu didn't want to get involved in this kind of messy matter for the time being. He just said coolly, "Is the Deputy Pavilion Master here to recruit me?"
Zhong Qiushui laughed lightly and said, "Recruit? Are you willing to be recruited by me? It's too early to say these now. Just watch, the longer you follow Li Wuxiang, the clearer you'll be able to see what kind of person he is! "
After saying that, Zhong Qiushui turned and left right away.
Chu Xiu raised his brows slightly. Zhong Qiushui seemed to have a hidden meaning in his words. It seemed like he was also hiding quite a lot of secrets.
At this time, Lu Sanjin also returned. He held a token and led Chu Xiu straight through the obstruction of several formations. In the end, they actually arrived before the entrance of a space.
After entering, it was a blessed land with birdsong and fragrant flowers. The richness of the heaven and earth essence energy was even several times that of the outside world.
The Imperial Sky Pavilion's Sutra Depository was located here. As long as the entire Imperial Sky Pavilion wasn't captured, this place could be said to be very safe.
Lu Sanjin pointed to one of the buildings and said, "That's where our Imperial Sky Pavilion's Sutra Depository is located. The first, second, and third floors can be entered with a token. The fourth, fifth, and sixth floors are all cultivation methods that only our Imperial Sky Pavilion's direct descendants can view and learn. The token's clearance isn't enough, so it can't be viewed. Brother Chu, you can stay here as long as you want. As long as you have the token, you can walk out of the formations at any time. "
Chu Xiu nodded and said, "Very well. I'll have to trouble Brother Lu to help me take care of the people I brought with me."
Lu Sanjin patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, leave them to me."
Chu Xiu stepped into the Imperial Sky Pavilion's Sutra Depository. From the outside, the place only appeared to be a small six-story building. Unexpectedly, there was a world inside. The space was incomparably huge. Each floor was like a palace hall.
The Imperial Sky Pavilion had a history of ten thousand years in the Daluotian Continent. Back in the Lower Realms, it had existed for an unknown number of years. Thus, the amount of books it had could be said to be astonishing.
The books were all placed in different categories. Chu Xiu only went to look at the books about the breakthroughs of Martial Immortals in the past, as well as the notes regarding martial cultivation.
The stones from other mountains could be used to study jade.
Although Chu Xiu would not study the cultivation notes step by step, some of the comprehensions contained within them were able to provide Chu Xiu with quite a bit of experience.
Chu Xiu used roughly a week's time to finish looking through all of the books.
The second and third floors also contained a lot of cultivation techniques. However, none of them belonged to the Imperial Sky Pavilion. Some were collected by the Imperial Sky Pavilion, while others were spoils of war.
Out of curiosity, Chu Xiu went to the second and third floors to take a look at the books.
However, at that moment, he suddenly had a strange feeling. There was something that was attracting him.
Chu Xiu looked in that direction. It was not a book. Instead, it was a piece of metal. Perhaps it was a piece of armor. It was faintly emitting a powerful and sharp aura. However, it was suppressed by the formation within the Sutra Depository.
Chu Xiu pulled the piece of metal out from a pile of books. Immediately, the extreme sharpness of the piece of metal surged into Chu Xiu's body. The surface of the piece of metal even shone with a blinding golden light.
Chu Xiu looked at the densely packed words on the piece of metal. However, he was only attracted by the first line of words.
Seven words were written on it: Heaven Swallowing Earth Destroying Seven Great Limits!
