With Xue Wuli, the traitor, acting as a spy, Chu Xiu could temporarily relax about the Elysium. At least, he didn't have to worry about the Elysium suddenly finding trouble with him.
After returning to the Daluotian, Chu Xiu continued to cultivate in seclusion. However, while he was cultivating, he also asked Xu Fengshan if there were any major events in the Daluotian recently. It turned out that there were.
Ye Weikong had a fierce battle with Zhong Qiushui. To be precise, it wasn't a fierce battle. He was beaten up.
In the end, Zhong Qiushui was seriously injured. However, for some reason, Ye Weikong retreated with the people of Cold River City.
Chu Xiu could roughly guess that Zhong Qiushui must have used some trump card of the Imperial Sky Pavilion to threaten Ye Weikong to perish together with him. Thus, Ye Weikong was afraid and chose to retreat.
Moreover, the entire Daluotian was shocked by the rebellion of the Imperial Sky Pavilion.
Although the Daluotian knew from the beginning that the two heroes of the Imperial Sky Pavilion had a falling out because of the position of Pavilion Master, they didn't expect the Imperial Sky Pavilion to be in such a state. Even the Pavilion Master had changed.
If Li Wuxiang and Zhong Qiushui didn't fall out, the Imperial Sky Pavilion would have two Martial Immortals. They would have been able to recover part of the Imperial Sky Pavilion's prestige. However, a Martial Immortal had died in the sect's internal strife. Even the other sects felt it was a pity when they heard about it.
Since there was nothing else for the time being, Chu Xiu entered seclusion again. This time, he didn't want to make a breakthrough. He was preparing to accumulate power.
As for the matter of condensing the Domain, Chu Xiu wasn't in a hurry.
Now, apart from the fact that he didn't have a Domain, everything else was the same as the experts in the Mysterious Realm of Heaven and Earth. It could be said that he had both feet in this realm. Only one shoe was still outside.
Therefore, there was no need to be in a hurry. When the time came, it would depend on the opportunity. Perhaps when Chu Xiu had the inspiration and accumulated enough, he would be able to step into this realm.
During the time that Chu Xiu was in seclusion, Mei Qinglian and the others came out one after another.
They had previously discussed that everyone would be in seclusion for between three months to half a year, and the longest period could not exceed half a year.
Several people took turns to come out of seclusion. On the one hand, they could manage the affairs of Cangwu County and the entire Southern Barbaric Land. On the other hand, they could go to the mortal world to see if there was anything that needed to be dealt with. After all, they could not ignore the Kunlun Mountain and the Southern Barbaric Land in the mortal world.
Eight months later, Lu Sanjin stood in front of the gates of Cangnan Mansion. He felt that something was wrong.
Compared to before, there were more warriors in Cangnan Prefecture, and their strength was even stronger. But most of them were unfamiliar faces, at least Lu Sanjin had never seen them before.
"Could it be that these are the warriors that Brother Chu recruited when he was the Prefectural Governor?"
Lu Sanjin rubbed his nose. Cangwu County had been handed over to Chu Xiu, and the Imperial Sky Pavilion had not interfered. Had there been such a huge change? Should I go back and give Zhong Qiushui a suggestion to let the other counties try governing themselves?
But then Lu Sanjin shook his head.
The idea was good, but it was basically impossible.
Not everyone was like Chu Xiu. If they were like Jie Yingzong, who had high standards but low ability, it would be easy to spoil things.
Lu Sanjin stepped into the Prefectural Governor's Mansion while thinking.
Although the people in the Prefectural Governor's Manor were mostly elites and trusted subordinates that Chu Xiu had brought from the Lower Realm, and they were the batch of people who had followed him from the very beginning, there were also some who were previously from the Imperial Sky Pavilion. They recognized Lu Sanjin and immediately welcomed him in politely.
At this time, the person in charge of Cangnan Mansion was Mei Qinglian. She had just come out of seclusion a month ago.
Seeing that Lu Sanjin had come, she arranged for someone to inform Chu Xiu to come out of seclusion and came out to entertain Lu Sanjin.
Looking at the gorgeous Mei Qinglian, Lu Sanjin secretly sized her up. He was very curious about the relationship between Mei Qinglian and Chu Xiu. Lovers? It didn't seem like it.
But if they were just simple subordinates, the conversation between Chu Xiu and Mei Qinglian that he had seen during his last trip didn't seem like it either.
Lu Sanjin rolled his eyes and chuckled. "May I know how to address you, sister?"
"Mei Qinglian."
Mei Qinglian glanced at Lu Sanjin. She was a person who had seen countless people. Just from the look in Lu Sanjin's eyes, she knew that he was up to no good.
Lu Sanjin clapped his hands and said, "The fragrance of plum blossoms comes from the bitter cold, and the pure lotus is not evil. Good name, good name! "
Mei Qinglian shook her head and said, "Wrong. My Qinglian is not the pure lotus."
"Then what is it?"
Mei Qinglian smiled charmingly and said, "It's the Qinglian of Qinglian."
Lu Sanjin said with a dubious expression, "Who is Qinglian? Could it be Brother Chu? "
"What do you think?"
Lu Sanjin was about to speak, but he suddenly realized that Mei Qinglian's gentle eyes were burning with a layer of fire.
In the next moment, Lu Sanjin's heart seemed to have been set ablaze as well. The burning sensation almost made him cry out. However, no matter how much he mobilized the Spiritual Qi and Spiritual Energy in his body, he could not find the source of the flame.
Just then, Chu Xiu's voice sounded, "Alright, stop fooling around. Leave some face for our Eastern Region Wayfarer."
Seeing Chu Xiu walk over, Mei Qinglian snorted and retracted the Karmic Fire of the Red Lotus. She swayed her hips and walked out.
There weren't many people who dared to flirt with her that were still alive.
Seeing Lu Sanjin's slightly embarrassed appearance, Chu Xiu shook his head and said, "Why did you provoke her? She is a flower with thorns. You can't touch her. "
The Karmic Fire of the Red Lotus, which was inherited from the Red Lotus Demon Venerable, was not easy to deal with. Lu Sanjin would not be able to defend himself if he wasn't careful.
Of course, this did not mean that Lu Sanjin was weaker than Mei Qinglian. In fact, if it was a real life or death battle, Lu Sanjin could just ignore the burning of the Karmic Fire of the Red Lotus and finish off Mei Qinglian with his strength.
Lu Sanjin grimaced in pain as he rubbed his chest and said, "Who provoked him? I'm just curious. Others can't touch him, but you?"
Chu Xiu ignored his nonsense and asked, "Why are you looking for me? You, Wayfarer Lu, don't come to me for no reason. Is there something at the Imperial Sky Pavilion's headquarters? "
Speaking of proper business, Lu Sanjin's expression also became solemn.
"The Imperial Sky Pavilion is fine. I'm actually looking for you this time to ask for your help.
In a month's time, the High Heaven Sect's founding ceremony will be held. At that time, disciples from the Eastern Region and even other Daluotian sects, as well as some independent cultivators will come to participate.
Of course, those who will come will not be at the level of Sect Master or Sect Master. Instead, they will be the backbone of the various sects, such as Qi Wuhen from Cold River City.
In the past, it was usually Pavilion Master Zhong who came. The cultivation he revealed earlier was that of a Half-Step Martial Immortal. He has the strength and qualifications to represent the Imperial Sky Pavilion.
However, this matter can only fall on me now. I'm afraid I can't handle it alone. "
Chu Xiu rubbed his chin and pondered for a moment before saying, "Judging from what you're saying, there will be people stirring up trouble during the celebration?"
Lu Sanjin smiled bitterly and said, "Yes, there will definitely be people stirring up trouble.
Apart from the rise of Cold River City, there are very few large-scale wars in the Eastern Region. However, there are many open and veiled struggles between the various sects.
So, every time something like this happens, it will be the time when the various sects in the Eastern Region fight the most.
If I go alone, I won't be able to handle it with my small body. "
Hearing Lu Sanjin mention High Heaven Sect, Chu Xiu was actually a little tempted. He didn't forget that Dugu Weiwei was in High Heaven Sect. He didn't know if he could take advantage of this opportunity to enter High Heaven Sect's Sealed World.
So, Chu Xiu nodded and said, "Don't worry. Aside from the Imperial Sky Pavilion, you and I are friends. Of course, I won't refuse."
Lu Sanjin clapped his hands and said, "I knew Brother Chu was a good friend!"
At this time, Chu Xiu asked, "By the way, since it's a celebration, we definitely have to bring gifts. Did High Heaven Sect send any gifts in return or benefits?"
Lu Sanjin didn't know how to respond to Chu Xiu's question. Why does Brother Chu care about these things?
After thinking about it, Lu Sanjin shook his head and said, "I don't know. After all, it's my first time attending this celebration."
Chu Xiu nodded and said, "Good, wait for me to make some arrangements. I'll go to High Heaven Sect with you."
Cangwu County had been handed over to Mei Qinglian to manage, so there wasn't much to arrange.
However, Lu Jiang He was bored in Cangwu County and also wanted to go. Chu Xiu didn't refuse. In any case, it was a celebration, and it was said that there would be open and secret struggles between the Eastern Territory's great Sects. Bringing Lu Jiang He along would be an additional force.
Moreover, Lu Fengxian also came out at this time. Previously, he had used his Unparalleled Secret Art in the lower world, causing his physical body to be overloaded and suffering heavy injuries.
At this time, after he had dealt with his physical injuries, Lu Fengxian's strength had also improved. Of course, it wasn't in terms of strength, but in terms of physical strength.
It just so happened that Lu Fengxian had come out of seclusion, and he also wanted to see the other Daluotian Sects, so he followed Chu Xiu.
Seeing that Chu Xiu had brought Lu Fengxian and Lu Jiang He with him, Lu Sanjin breathed a sigh of relief.
Last time, when he quelled the rebellion in Fanglin County, Lu Sanjin had seen Lu Jiang He and Lu Fengxian take action. Their strength was almost at the peak of the same realm. Even if Lu Sanjin fought against them, he wouldn't be confident he could win without using the trump cards given to him by Imperial Sky Pavilion.
Now that these two were with him, if they encountered other Sects looking for trouble, they would have a better chance.
However, Lu Sanjin was also puzzled. He did not know where Chu Xiu had found so many outstanding figures among those of the same level.
If these people under Chu Xiu were placed in Imperial Sky Pavilion, they would definitely be regarded as the mainstay of the sect.
The group hurried along the way, and it took them more than twenty days to reach High Heaven City, where High Heaven Sect was located.
Lu Jiang He glanced at the magnificent High Heaven City and couldn't help saying to Lu Sanjin, "Advisor Lu, I hope you don't mind me speaking the truth, but High Heaven Sect's Sect is built much more majestic than Imperial Sky Pavilion's."
Lu Sanjin coldly snorted when he heard this and said, "Face is not a commodity, it depends on the content, understand?"
