The destruction of the Blood River Cult caused a great shock to the Jianghu of the East Region.
In fact, Chu Xiu had always been very famous in the Jianghu of the East Region.
As the successor of Gu Zun and having defeated Xuanyuan Wushuang and Yuwen Fu in succession, Chu Xiu had long entered the eyes of the experts in the East Region.
However, that was only his personal fame. Now, Chu Xiu had destroyed the Blood River Cult with his subordinates. The destruction of the Blood River Cult, which was second only to the top sects in the East Region, was a great shock to the entire Jianghu of the East Region.
When Chu Xiu arrived at the Imperial Sky Pavilion, Lu Sanjin personally came out to greet Chu Xiu.
However, after seeing Chu Xiu, Lu Sanjin's expression was a little strange.
"Brother Chu, did you really destroy the Blood River Cult?"
Chu Xiu nodded and said, "This matter has been spread all over the East Region. How can it be fake?"
Lu Sanjin opened his mouth, but he didn't know what to say.
In fact, Ancestor Blood River was not liked in the East Region.
Ancestor Blood River was evil and strange, and the cultivation method of the Blood River Cult needed to absorb the blood of warriors to cultivate, so it was destined that the people of the Blood River Cult would not do things with good intentions.
However, Ancestor Blood River was very smart. He usually did not attack the big sects and only attacked some rogue cultivators.
Although Ancestor Blood River had once aroused public anger and even attracted many rogue cultivators to attack the Blood River Cult, in the end, they either returned without success or became nourishment for Ancestor Blood River.
In addition, later, Ancestor Blood River turned to Cold River City and had a strong backer, so no one dared to cause trouble for Ancestor Blood River.
As a result, now that Ancestor Blood River had died in the hands of Chu Xiu and the entire Blood River Cult was destroyed because Ancestor Blood River had attacked Chu Xiu's subordinate. No matter how one thought about it, it felt a little strange.
"The Pavilion Master is waiting for you inside. Now the Pavilion Master is a little emotional, so be careful."
Chu Xiu nodded and walked straight into the inner hall.
At this time, in the inner hall, Zhong Qiushui did not look angry. She just looked at Chu Xiu helplessly. Yes, helplessness.
At this moment, he somewhat understood Li Wuxiang's difficulties.
If he wasn't the Pavilion Master and Chu Xiu killed Patriarch Blood River, he would definitely clap his hands and cheer.
Killing Patriarch Blood River, who was a lackey of Cold River City, would boost the reputation of the Imperial Heaven Pavilion. No matter how one looked at it, it should be a good thing.
However, now that he was the Pavilion Master, he also experienced how difficult it was to control a major sect like the Imperial Sky Pavilion in the eastern region.
He had just had a head-on fight with Cold River City. Although Cold River City didn't attack him because of his crazy and fearless look, but Cold River City was still eyeing him covetously.
In the end, Chu Xiu destroyed the Blood River Sect, which was equivalent to cutting off one of Cold River City's arms. Under such circumstances, with Ye Weikong's character, he would definitely not swallow his anger.
However, Zhong Qiushui was not Li Wuxiang, after all. His character was radical and strong, so he didn't blame Chu Xiu. He just sighed and said, "Tell me, what are you thinking? You killed Patriarch Blood River and destroyed the Blood River Sect. I believe with your character, you must be prepared. "
Chu Xiu nodded and said, "I'm not really prepared. I just have some ideas to tell you, Pavilion Master."
"What ideas?"
Chu Xiu's eyes were dark, and he said in a deep voice, "Is the Imperial Heaven Pavilion ready to fight to the death with Cold River City?"
Zhong Qiushui's expression suddenly changed, but then he sighed and shook his head. He said, "Ready? Even if we fight to the death, we can't win. What else do we need to prepare? "
Chu Xiu narrowed his eyes and said, "Are you ready to wait for death if you can't win? This time, Cold River City will definitely go all out. "
Zhong Qiushui said angrily, "You destroyed the Blood River Sect and cut off one of Cold River City's arms. It would be strange if Cold River City didn't make a move."
Chu Xiu shook his head and said, "Pavilion Master, you're wrong. I killed Patriarch Blood River. Although it will prompt Cold River City to make a move in advance, even if I don't touch Blood River Sect, they will make a move soon.
I believe Pavilion Master knows Ye Weikong's character better than I do.
His ambition can't be satisfied by the current size of Cold River City.
Although Ye Weikong is not too old, he is not too young either.
As his successor, Qi Wuhen is far inferior to Ye Weikong.
Therefore, if I were Ye Weikong, I would destroy the Imperial Heaven Pavilion with all my strength before my strength starts to decline and divide the East Territory with High Heaven Sect.
This time, Cold River City will not hold back. I wonder if the Imperial Heaven Pavilion can withstand it. "
Zhong Qiushui was silent.
He definitely had more dealings with Cold River City than Chu Xiu did. What Chu Xiu could see, he could also see. It was just that he was unwilling to face this kind of thing.
"Tell me, what do you have in mind?"
Chu Xiu said in a deep voice, "There is only one way, and that is to cut off our flesh to feed the tiger, and then drive the tiger to devour the wolf!"
Zhong Qiushui frowned immediately, "Who is the tiger and who is the wolf?"
"High Heaven Sect is the tiger, and Cold River City is the wolf!"
Chu Xiu said in a deep voice, "As long as Pavilion Master is willing to cut off your flesh and give up a part of the Imperial Heaven Pavilion's interests to High Heaven Sect, I believe High Heaven Sect will be willing to make a move. High Heaven Sect is the number one sect in the East Territory. They definitely don't want to see a hungry wolf rise and challenge their position. "
Zhong Qiushui frowned deeply, and said in a deep voice, "But doing so is equivalent to drinking poison to quench thirst, fattening High Heaven Sect. When they devour our Imperial Heaven Pavilion, won't the result be the same? Don't forget, our Imperial Heaven Pavilion has a great enmity with High Heaven Sect for more than ten thousand years! "
Chu Xiu shook his head and said, "People who are dying of thirst, what else can't they drink? Even if it's drinking poison to quench thirst, at least drink it now, and Imperial Heaven Pavilion will have time to develop. If we don't drink it, we won't even have that little bit of time. So, as long as Pavilion Master is willing to cut off your flesh, I will talk to High Heaven Sect. "
"How much do I need?" Zhong Qiushui thought for a long time, and then asked hesitantly.
Chu Xiu stretched out a finger and said, "A county!"
Zhong Qiushui was taken aback, but before he could speak, Chu Xiu said, "Pavilion Master, you know the strength of High Heaven Sect. If we don't pay such a big price, High Heaven Sect will think that we are sowing discord between them and Cold River City, and they won't act easily."
Zhong Qiushui was much more decisive than Li Wuxiang.
Perhaps Imperial Heaven Pavilion was really forced to the point where they had no other choice. Apart from Chu Xiu's method, Zhong Qiushui really couldn't think of any other way.
Cutting off his flesh was better than fighting to the death with Cold River City.
Moreover, it was indeed better for Chu Xiu to talk about this matter than him.
High Heaven Sect and Imperial Heaven Pavilion had been fighting since the lower realm ten thousand years ago, all the way to the Daluotian Continent.
Now, Zhong Qiushui really couldn't bring himself to lower his head to High Heaven Sect and cut off his flesh to ask them to help him.
Although Chu Xiu was nominally a member of Imperial Heaven Pavilion, he was Gu Zun's successor after all. He could stand in the perspective of an outsider and talk about this kind of thing, so it wasn't so embarrassing.
After receiving Zhong Qiushui's promise, Chu Xiu went straight to High Heaven Sect.
In a reception hall of High Heaven Sect, Sect Master Fang Yinglong, Qin Baiyuan, and the three Martial Immortal Realm powerhouses of Linghu Immortal Mountain were all present.
Originally, with Chu Xiu's face, he was not worthy of the three Martial Immortals coming out to greet him together.
However, due to the fact that Chu Xiu had just annihilated the Blood River Church and his influence in the eastern region's pugilistic world, and that he had said that he wanted to discuss important matters regarding the entire eastern region with them, the three Martial Immortals had come together.
Seeing Chu Xiu at this time, Qin Baiyuan was still a little unhappy with him.
Snorting lightly, Qin Baiyuan said, "Boy, what important things do you want to tell us? Don't think that you are the number one figure in the Eastern Territory Martial World just because you destroyed Blood River Cult. With the scale of Blood River Cult, my High Heaven Sect can destroy it with a wave of our hand! If you don't give me a reason today, it won't be so easy to leave my High Heaven Sect! "
Chu Xiu didn't care about Qin Baiyuan's attitude. His words were earth-shattering and shocked all three of them.
"My Imperial Heaven Pavilion is willing to exchange a county's land for High Heaven Sect's help to curb the expansion of Cold River City!"
Qin Baiyuan said with a look of disbelief, "What did you say?! A county's land? Does Zhong Qiushui know what you said? "
Chu Xiu took out the token Zhong Qiushui gave him and said, "This is the secret order of the Imperial Heaven Pavilion's Pavilion Master. It is enough to represent the Pavilion Master's intention."
Qin Baiyuan and the other two looked at each other with disbelief in their eyes.
The Imperial Sky Pavilion had really gone all out this time. That was the land of a county. It represented a county's resources, a county's talents, and a county's influence in the martial arts world.
The price was enough to tempt them.
However, this was a major event of the entire Eastern Domain. Qin Baiyuan and the others wouldn't agree so easily. Moreover, they wanted more benefits.
Qin Baiyuan narrowed his eyes and said, "Drive the tiger to swallow the wolf? You want my High Heaven Sect to save your Imperial Heaven Pavilion from its crisis with just a county's land? Not bad. However, have you forgotten the hatred between our two sects that has lasted for over ten thousand years? "
Chu Xiu said indifferently, "Old Sect Master Qin, there's no need to probe anymore. A county's land is the Imperial Heaven Pavilion's bottom line. If your High Heaven Sect doesn't help, you'll bear the consequences yourself."
Qin Baiyuan was so angry that he laughed, "What? If my High Heaven Sect doesn't help you, will you attack my High Heaven Sect instead?"
Chu Xiu said in a deep voice, "I won't, but Cold River City will!
If High Heaven Sect doesn't help, the Imperial Heaven Pavilion can't stop Ye Weikong, a seventh-layer Martial Immortal.
Since they can't stop him, they might as well surrender.
Ye Weikong's strength is already at the sixth-layer Martial Immortal. It won't be difficult for him to reach the seventh-layer if he goes all out.
If my Imperial Heaven Pavilion chooses to surrender, with the Imperial Heaven Pavilion's secret techniques, we can fully support Ye Weikong and push his strength to the eighth-layer Martial Immortal!
At that time, there will be two eighth-layer Martial Immortal experts in the Eastern Domain. I wonder, will your High Heaven Sect be able to sit still? "
Hearing this, even Fang Yinglong, who had been incomparably calm, revealed a cold glint in his eyes.
"You dare?!" Qin Baiyuan shouted.
Chu Xiu retorted, "I don't dare, but the Imperial Heaven Pavilion dares! You're about to be exterminated. What else do you dare not do? Groveling and surrendering is better than having your inheritance destroyed, isn't it? "
