Chu Xiu was stunned when he heard that the Old Pavilion Master was dead.
How long had it been? He had just met the Old Pavilion Master four months ago. Although the Old Pavilion Master looked old and lethargic at that time, there was no aura of death. How was it possible that he had died in just four months?
"How did the Old Pavilion Master die?"
Xu Fengshan shook his head and said, "The news didn't say, but I'm sure he didn't die from a fight. I didn't hear about the Old Pavilion Master going out recently, and I didn't hear about anyone breaking into the Imperial Sky Pavilion."
Chu Xiu shook his head gently and sighed.
He did not have any ill feelings toward the Old Pavilion Master.
Although the Old Pavilion Master had asked him to come to Cangwu Prefecture with the intention of bewitching him, the Old Pavilion Master had explained everything to him openly.
Moreover, if Chu Xiu had not come to Cangwu Prefecture, he would not have been able to find his way back to the lower realm so quickly.
"Cangwu Prefecture will be fine as usual. I'll make a trip to the Imperial Sky Pavilion alone."
Since the Old Pavilion Master had passed away, the Prefectural Governors of the Imperial Sky Pavilion were obliged to make a trip to settle the funeral affairs.
There was no need to fight or fight on this trip, so Chu Xiu did not wake Lu Jiang He and the others up from their closed-door cultivation. Instead, he went alone.
When Chu Xiu arrived at the Imperial Sky Pavilion, the entire pavilion was already in mourning. All the disciples looked sad.
The Old Pavilion Master had a high prestige in the Imperial Sky Pavilion. It was so high that Li Wuxiang could not compare to him.
Li Wuxiang was strict when he did things, and he always talked about rules. Therefore, most of the cultivators in the Imperial Sky Pavilion feared him more than they respected him.
The Old Pavilion Master had truly treated the Imperial Sky Pavilion as his everything. He had given his all for the Imperial Sky Pavilion. He would do his best to take care of even an ordinary disciple.
When the Old Pavilion Master was still in the position, he had promoted Lu Sanjin, the East Region Advisor. Jie Yingzong, who had been an ordinary deacon, was also discovered and nurtured by him.
In the Imperial Sky Pavilion, the Old Pavilion Master treated everyone equally. Therefore, almost all the cultivators in the Imperial Sky Pavilion respected him very much.
Now that the Old Pavilion Master had passed away, the entire Imperial Sky Pavilion fell into a sorrowful atmosphere.
As soon as Chu Xiu arrived, he walked into the main hall of the Imperial Sky Pavilion's headquarters. The other county governors and elders of the Imperial Sky Pavilion were all present.
When they saw Chu Xiu, most of the county governors instinctively looked at Chu Xiu as they sized him up.
Chu Xiu had met the elders of the Emperor Heaven Pavilion before, but among the Prefectural Governors, Chu Xiu only knew Jie Yingzong. He had never met the rest of them, but he had heard of Chu Xiu's name.
When he saw Chu Xiu arrive, Li Wuxiang nodded towards Chu Xiu. However, there was a sliver of coldness on his face.
It was obvious that he still held a grudge over what had happened last time.
Jie Yingzong, on the other hand, smiled at Chu Xiu and greeted him. He did not pay much attention to Li Wuxiang's attitude.
He was also one of the Old Pavilion Master's men. Moreover, Chu Xiu had saved him previously, so he owed Chu Xiu a favor.
Lu Sanjin walked over with red eyes. He handed a white brocade robe to Chu Xiu and said in a low voice, "Brother Chu, please rest for a while. The Old Pavilion Master's funeral will be held tomorrow."
Among the people present, Lu Sanjin was the saddest in terms of sorrow.
To him, the Old Pavilion Master was like a teacher and a father. He was able to achieve what he had today because of the Old Pavilion Master's guidance.
Chu Xiu nodded and asked in a low voice, "How did the Old Pavilion Master die?"
"He died from exhaustion of his heart blood."
Lu Sanjin said in a sorrowful voice, "The Old Pavilion Master was not young to begin with. However, he considered that the Imperial Sky Pavilion was in a crisis, so he could not rest in peace. Instead, he deduced martial arts every day, trying to deduce a method that could restrain the Cold River City's Ice Soul Divine Technique. In the end, the Old Pavilion Master encountered a bottleneck halfway through the deduction. However, he still forced himself to deduce it, which led to Qi Deviation. In the end, he died from exhaustion of his heart blood. "
Upon hearing Lu Sanjin's words, Chu Xiu shook his head slightly.
The Old Pavilion Master had indeed died unjustly.
Qi Deviation was something that would only happen to low-level cultivators, but the Old Pavilion Master had encountered it. This should not have happened at all.
If the Old Pavilion Master could rest in peace, it would not be a problem for him to live for more than ten years with his strength and cultivation base.
At this moment, Li Wuxiang also said in a low voice, "Everyone is here. The funeral will be held on time tomorrow. Everyone should go and rest today."
At this moment, Zhong Qianqiu suddenly said, "Where are you going to bury the Old Pavilion Master?"
Li Wuxiang frowned and said, "In the Vital Space Realm, of course. Aren't all the past Pavilion Masters of the Imperial Sky Pavilion buried there?"
Zhong Qiushui said plainly, "It's true that the past Pavilion Masters were buried in the Vital Space Realm. However, the Old Pavilion Master's contributions to the Imperial Sky Pavilion are obvious to all. I suggest that the Old Pavilion Master be buried in the Primitive Emperor Realm to worship. He has the right to do so."
Upon hearing this, the people present began to discuss among themselves.
The Imperial Sky Pavilion had more than one blessed abode. The Primitive Emperor Realm was the most important one. A few of the Imperial Sky Pavilion's ancestors were placed there. Only the Pavilion Masters who had made great contributions to the Imperial Sky Pavilion were qualified to enter the Primitive Emperor Realm. At the same time, the Primitive Emperor Realm contained several trump cards of the Imperial Sky Pavilion.
Most importantly, the Primitive Emperor Realm was very small. It was only the size of a house. However, the Qi of Heaven and Earth in it was terrifyingly rich. Therefore, only the Pavilion Masters could enter it to cultivate.
Moreover, due to the need to accumulate Qi of Vitality, the Primitive Emperor Realm could only be activated once every few years. Otherwise, once it was activated, the Qi of Heaven and Earth in it would dissipate.
A few years ago, Li Wuxiang had just used the Primitive Emperor Realm. After a while, the Primitive Emperor Realm could be activated again. However, Zhong Qiushui suggested to activate the Primitive Emperor Realm now. It was obvious that he was going against Li Wuxiang.
Li Wuxiang lowered his voice and shouted, "Zhong Qiushui! Now is the time for the Old Pavilion Master's burial. Do you still want to play those boring tricks? Is it interesting? "
Zhong Qiushui looked at Li Wuxiang. A smile suddenly appeared on his face. It was a mocking smile.
"Do you still think that I'm making things difficult for you on purpose?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhong Qiushui's expression became extremely ferocious. "Li Wuxiang! Don't forget that I was just a gangster on the streets. Because I offended a disciple of a large sect, I was dragged out by my own boss to vent his anger. It was the Old Pavilion Master who saved me. I owe the Old Pavilion Master my life!
For so many years, I worked my heart out for the Imperial Sky Pavilion and fought with my life on the line. What was it for? All for the Old Pavilion Master's life!
I'm not satisfied with you being the Pavilion Master. I'm not willing.
But the Old Pavilion Master said that you're more suitable than me, so I gave in.
For so many years, although I've always been against you, as long as the Old Pavilion Master told me to give in, when did I not?
Do you know how much the Old Pavilion Master has sacrificed so that you can sit firmly in your position as the Pavilion Master?
Ask yourself, among so many Pavilion Masters of the Imperial Sky Pavilion, is the Old Pavilion Master really not qualified to enter the Primitive Emperor Realm?
Even now, you still think that I'm competing with you. Li Wuxiang, your thoughts are really dark.
I'm just helping the Old Pavilion Master get his rightful position! "
"Enough!"
Li Wuxiang shouted angrily. "Do you think I don't want the Old Pavilion Master to enter the Primitive Emperor Realm?
But now that the Old Pavilion Master has just passed away, when Cold River City hears the news, they will definitely take action against the Imperial Sky Pavilion.
Once the Primitive Emperor Realm is activated, I can take advantage of this opportunity to gain more power and not be so passive.
Am I doing this for myself? I'm doing this for the entire Imperial Sky Pavilion! "
Zhong Qiushui sneered. "Even if you enter the Primitive Emperor Realm a hundred times, you're still no match for Ye Weikong. What's the point of saying all this? Do you dare to say that you're not doing this for yourself? "
Li Wuxiang let out a long sigh and said in a deep voice, "That's enough, Zhong Qiushui! Don't forget, I'm the Pavilion Master now! "
"Yes, you're the Pavilion Master, Heavenly King Li Wuxiang. How impressive! The Pavilion Master of the Imperial Sky Pavilion is so domineering! "
Kind Autumn Water threw out these words indifferently, then turned around and walked away.
Many of the elders and county governor present lowered their heads submissively, not daring to say a word.
Regarding the conflict between Li Wuxiang and Zhong Qiushui, of course, they knew. It should be said that they had always known.
But this was the first time they made such a big fuss and even publicly shed all pretense of cordiality.
Moreover, this was during the Old Pavilion Master's funeral, which made them even more afraid to say anything.
Li Wuxiang said with a gloomy expression, "Disperse!"
Everyone dispersed with different expressions. Chu Xiu followed behind Lu Sanjin. After he went out, he asked in a low voice, "What do you think of today's matter?"
Lu Sanjin's face showed a hint of helplessness as he said, "I've long known about the messy feud between them and guessed that once the Old Pavilion Master died, they would definitely make a fuss. But I never thought that they would make such a big fuss. Now, I only hope that the Old Pavilion Master's funeral can be carried out peacefully."
After saying this, Lu Sanjin also left with a gloomy expression. Obviously, he was extremely disappointed with Li Wuxiang and Zhong Qiushui.
After nightfall, Chu Xiu was meditating and cultivating in the bedroom that the Imperial Sky Pavilion had arranged for him. At this time, he suddenly opened his eyes. The next moment, the door was pushed open and Zhong Qiushui walked in.
Seeing that Zhong Qiushui had suddenly come looking for him, Chu Xiu was actually very calm. He even waved his hand and used his Stellar Energy to move a chair over and place it in front of Zhong Qianqiu.
Seeing Chu Xiu's behavior, Zhong Qiushui had a puzzled expression on his face as he asked, "You knew that I would come looking for you?"
Chu Xiu shook his head and said, "I didn't know that you would come looking for me, Deputy Pavilion Master. I only knew that if someone came looking for me tonight, it would definitely be you, Deputy Pavilion Master."
Zhong Qiushui revealed a playful expression on his face as he asked, "Why? Do you know why I came looking for you? "
Chu Xiu narrowed his eyes and said, "Deputy Pavilion Master, you are already prepared to reveal your true intentions with Li Wuxiang and are prepared to completely fall out with him. Of course, you have to unite all the forces that can be united."
At this point, Chu Xiu pointed at himself and said, "And I, Chu Xiu, am very important. It is worth it for Deputy Pavilion Master to personally rope me in."
