Zhong Qiushui looked at Chu Xiu in surprise. He seemed to have just realized that the guy in front of him did not play by the rules. The words he had prepared to say before were useless now.
Zhong Qiushui narrowed his eyes and said, "Since you know I'm here to recruit you, are you prepared to accept my offer?"
Chu Xiu said faintly, "I've said it before. I'm worth it. Since I'm worth it, I'll have to see what conditions Deputy Pavilion Master can offer."
Zhong Qiushui waved his hand and said, "Everything is negotiable. Most importantly, you should have seen what kind of person Li Wuxiang is. He is a selfish hypocrite!"
Zhong Qiushui snorted coldly, "Li Wuxiang and I were both in the Half-step Martial Celestial Realm. We agreed to compete fairly. Whoever stepped into the Martial Celestial Realm first would be the Pavilion Master. The loser would be convinced.
If Li Wuxiang relied on his own ability to become the Pavilion Master, I would definitely respect him and not give him the slightest bit of trouble.
But do you think he really stepped into the Martial Celestial Realm with his own ability?
He was the one who spoke ill of me in front of the old Pavilion Master. He thought that I was extreme and that if I became the Pavilion Master, it would put the Imperial Sky Pavilion in danger.
That was why the old Pavilion Master opened the Primitive Emperor Realm and let him enter it to cultivate.
In the end, Li Wuxiang obtained the powerful Primordial Qi that had been accumulated in the Primitive Emperor Realm for several years and took the opportunity to step into the Martial Celestial Realm.
Actually, Li Wuxiang was right. I was extreme, but I couldn't stand his backstabbing behavior!
If he had told me to my face that he wanted to be the Pavilion Master, I would have given it to him. As long as the old Pavilion Master felt that I was not suitable, I would not fight for it.
In the end, he competed with me on the surface and spoke ill of the old Pavilion Master behind my back. If such a person was not a hypocrite, what was he?
How did I get the position of Deputy Pavilion Master? The old Pavilion Master felt that he owed me, so he gave it to me. Otherwise, with Li Wuxiang's character, he would not even want to give me the position of Prefectural Governor!
I have been brothers with Li Wuxiang for hundreds of years. I never thought that he would do such a thing.
In other words, if he can treat me like this, how do you think he will treat you? "
Chu Xiu was a little surprised to hear Zhong Qiushui recount everything that had happened in the past.
Although he knew that there must have been competition between Li Wuxiang and Zhong Qiushui in the past, he did not expect Li Wuxiang to play it so dirty. He could even snitch behind Zhong Qiushui's back and act first and report later.
However, this also proved how extreme Zhong Qiushui's character was back then.
The Old Pavilion Master would rather hand the position of Pavilion Master to Li Wuxiang, who was secretly snitching on him, than give it to Nakasaki. One could imagine that in the Old Pavilion Master's opinion, if Nakasaki were to become the Pavilion Master, the Imperial Sky Pavilion's future would be even more miserable.
"So, the seemingly just and dignified Li Wuxiang is a hypocrite, and you, Deputy Pavilion Master, are a true gentleman?"
Zhong Qiushui waved his hand and said, "I'm not a true gentleman. On the contrary, I'm a vile person, a true vile person.
I won't let go of anyone who goes against me in the Imperial Sky Pavilion. However, I'll do it openly and not behind their backs.
When you first joined the Imperial Sky Pavilion, I thought you were Li Wuxiang's man because you were recruited by Lu Sanjin, so I didn't treat you well.
However, have you seen me deal with you or scheme against you all this time? The one who schemed against you was your immediate superior, Li Wuxiang. "
Chu Xiu clapped his hands and said, "You're right. A true vile person is more acceptable than a hypocrite person.
However, the main problem now is, Deputy Pavilion Master, even if you rope me in, how confident are you that you can defeat Li Wuxiang?
Even if the Old Pavilion Master is gone, Li Wuxiang is still a Martial Immortal! "
Zhong Qiushui sneered. He stretched out a hand, and a bit of Stellar Energy appeared in his hand. But it was that bit of Stellar Energy that stirred and tore the void. Its power was so strong that it was shocking.
"Martial Immortal!"
It was only when Zhong Qiushui displayed this level of power that Chu Xiu understood. No wonder Zhong Qiushui had the guts to fall out with Li Wuxiang today. It turned out that he had already reached the Martial Immortal Realm.
Zhong Qiushui laughed coldly and said, "Ever since Li Wuxiang became the Pavilion Master, he's devoted himself to power. Perhaps he himself has forgotten how long it's been since he last cultivated in seclusion.
What about me? Even if I don't have the qualifications to enter the Primitive Emperor Realm, as long as I'm done handling the affairs in my hands, I'll immediately start cultivating without any delay.
Ever since he became the Pavilion Master, he had long forgotten how he had obtained this position.
He still wants to compare himself to Ye Weikong. What qualifications does he have to compare himself to Ye Weikong? Even though Ye Weikong is already so old, he still takes out a month to cultivate in seclusion every year and doesn't care about any matters of the sect.
Although Li Wuxiang is a Martial Immortal, he doesn't have a heart for Dao! "
Chu Xiu agreed with Zhong Qiushui's words. In terms of power and power, the former was higher than the latter.
Without power, what do you rely on to gain power?
Chu Xiu knocked on the table and said, "It seems that you've prepared well, Deputy Pavilion Master. In that case, let's go back to the original question. What can I get?"
"What do you want?"
Chu Xiu narrowed his eyes and said, "It's very simple. Cangwu County, or rather, the entire Southern Barbaric Land, is under my jurisdiction. The people from the Imperial Sky Pavilion can either withdraw or come under my command. Don't come and give me orders if there's nothing important. To put it simply, I'm the master of the South China! "
Zhong Qiushui frowned and said, "You're the descendant of Gu Zun, and you'll definitely have to go back in the future. Why do you want so much power in the South China?"
"You don't have to worry about this Deputy Pavilion Master. The key is the entire power. Deputy Pavilion Master, are you going to give it or not?"
Seeing Zhong Qiushui hesitate, Chu Xiu said faintly, "Since Deputy Pavilion Master has already stepped into the Martial Immortal Realm, you must already have a well-thought-out plan. However, I can still rope in two people to help you, Deputy Pavilion Master. "
"Who?"
"East Region Wayfarer Lu Sanjin and Fanglin County Chief Jie Yingzong."
Zhong Qiushui frowned and said, "You helped Jie Yingzong a lot last time. Jie Yingzong can listen to you, but everyone knows that Lu Sanjin is Li Wuxiang's man. How can he betray?"
Chu Xiu shook his head and said, "Wrong, very wrong. Lu Sanjin has never been Li Wuxiang's man, but the Old Pavilion Master's man. Anyway, as long as Deputy Pavilion Master agrees, I'll help you instigate Lu Sanjin to defect. "
Upon hearing this, Zhong Qiushui immediately nodded and said, "No problem. As long as this plan succeeds, from now on, everything in the southern wilderness will be under your control. Even the headquarters of the Imperial Sky Pavilion has no right to order you."
With a smile on his face, Chu Xiu said, "I hope that Deputy Pavilion Master, oh no, Pavilion Master can abide by the agreement."
Zhong Qiushui smiled disdainfully and said, "I already said that I'm not a hypocrite like Li Wuxiang. I, Zhong Qiushui, am a man of my word. I will never go back on what I promised. "
After saying that, Zhong Qiushui left immediately.
Chu Xiu touched his chin at the back. He realized that Lu Jiang He's guess was really accurate.
Sure enough, as long as an opportunity appeared in the Imperial Sky Pavilion, it would immediately encounter a great change.
However, he also guessed wrongly. Although the Imperial Sky Pavilion would encounter a great change, it would not fall apart because there was a Martial Immortal like Zhong Qiushui.
With a powerhouse in the Martial Immortal Realm, it was enough to protect the Imperial Sky Pavilion.
On the second day, in the main hall of the Imperial Sky Pavilion, all the elders, Prefectural Governor, and disciples were dressed in white robes with solemn expressions.
Li Wuxiang held the funeral oration in his hand and was about to read it when Zhong Qiushui suddenly said, "Li Wuxiang, have you made a decision? Where should the Old Pavilion Master be buried?"
Li Wuxiang paused, suppressed his anger, and said, "I already said that we have to consider the overall situation. Of course, the Old Pavilion Master is qualified to be buried in the Primitive Emperor Realm, but now is not the time. Zhong Qiushui, don't be unreasonable anymore. Don't forget, I'm the Pavilion Master now! "
A strange smile appeared on Zhong Qiushui's face. "You're the Pavilion Master? If everyone recognizes you, then you're the Pavilion Master. If no one recognizes you, then you're nothing! "
Everyone present was shocked. What was the Deputy Pavilion Master trying to do? Was he publicly challenging the Pavilion Master?
Li Wuxiang's expression was extremely calm. He suddenly let out a long sigh and said, "I knew that you wouldn't give up so easily. Unfortunately, we've been brothers for decades. I didn't expect that we would fall out as soon as the Old Pavilion Master left. I really don't want to kill you! "
In fact, Li Wuxiang had already expected this scene today.
Zhong Qiushui had been at odds with him for so many years. In the past, with the Old Pavilion Master suppressing him, he would only argue occasionally and did not dare to go too far.
Now that the Old Pavilion Master was gone, it would be strange if Zhong Qiushui did not cause some trouble with his personality.
Therefore, Li Wuxiang had already prepared for this.
After knowing and fighting each other for decades, there should be a result now!
A gloomy killing intent appeared in Li Wuxiang's eyes. To resist external aggression, one must first pacify internal affairs. If he did not get rid of Zhong Qiushui, who always gave him trouble, how could he resist Cold River City?
Zhong Qiushui laughed loudly. "Li Wuxiang, Li Wuxiang, I really didn't expect this.
I always thought that you and I had a friendship of over a hundred years. I didn't expect that in your eyes, it was only a few decades.
Never mind, perhaps from the day you stabbed me in the back, the friendship between you and me had already ended.
Today, I stood up not for the position of Pavilion Master, nor for the hatred of the past.
I only did it for the Old Pavilion Master!
In the past, the Old Pavilion Master thought that I couldn't be the Pavilion Master, so he chose you.
The Old Pavilion Master had seen countless people and had seen countless people correctly, but he had misjudged you!
Today, you should go and apologize to the Old Pavilion Master! "
As Zhong Qiushui's voice fell, he took a step forward, and the aura around him began to rise wildly. The power distorted the rules and changed the heaven and earth. The power of an expert in the Martial Immortal Realm was completely revealed!
