The Fang Clan was just a small clan in the Linzhong Commandery, but at this moment, it was very crowded.
Most of the people were actually here to join in the fun. They wanted to see what this so-called ancient demonic treasure, the Blood Jade Crystal, looked like.
Among them were people from the Qingchen Sect and the Jindao Sect. At this moment, the people from these two sects were filled with regret. If they had known this would happen, they would have given up on the idea of fighting for it and directly attacked the Fang Clan.
In the end, they could only watch as the treasure fell into the hands of the Fluttering Snow City of the Far North. They didn't even dare to say a word.
The two sects were considered to be powerful in the Linzhong Commandery, but compared to the Fluttering Snow City of the Far North, they were like ants.
At this moment, Chu Xiu disguised himself as an ordinary martial artist and blended in with the crowd. He didn't stand out at all. As he strolled back and forth, he was also investigating the situation and movements of the entire Fang Clan.
After about two hours, a group of people walked in from outside. The leader was a middle-aged man in his forties. He wore a snow-white tiger skin robe and had a cold expression. There was a hideous knife scar on his face that extended from his forehead to the left side of his face. One look and anyone could tell that he was not someone to be trifled with.
Someone beside him said, "It's the thirteenth master of the Fluttering Snow City, 'Raging Flame Mad Blade' Bai Qinhu! This thirteenth master of the Bai Clan was born in a branch family, but he followed the elders of the Bai Clan to fight for the Fluttering Snow City of the Far North since he was young. Now, he has reached the peak of the Qi-controlling realm and is one with the world. In the Fluttering Snow City of the Far North, his status is not inferior to the martial artists of the direct line of descent. It seems that the Fluttering Snow City of the Far North also values the Blood Jade Crystal very much. They actually sent such an expert to personally welcome it. "
At this moment, the patriarch of the Fang Clan also personally came out to welcome Bai Qinhu. There was a joyful smile on his face as he bowed to Bai Qinhu and said, "To trouble the thirteenth master to come personally, our Fang Clan is really honored by your presence."
Bai Qinhu squeezed out a stiff smile and said, "Since the Fang Clan has decided to join my Driftsnow City, then my Driftsnow City will naturally protect the Fang Clan for the rest of their lives. Since the Fang Family trusts my Driftsnow City, then my Driftsnow City will not go back on its word. From now on, the Fang Family will be under the protection of my Driftsnow City. If anyone dares to target the Fang Family, then that is equivalent to provoking my Driftsnow City! "
After saying this, Bai Qinhu's gaze swept across the crowd. His eyes seemed to have a chilling glint that made everyone's hearts tremble.
This was especially so for those from the Qingchen Sect and Jindao Sect. They were afraid that with the support of the Driftsnow City of the Extreme North, they would suffer the revenge of the Fang Clan.
Seeing Bai Qinhu's actions, Chu Xiu secretly raised his eyebrows. This time, the Driftsnow City of the Extreme North actually sent a great expert who was one with the world. It seemed that the Tianzui Branch Leader would have some trouble.
But if it was troublesome, then so be it. In any case, the mission over there was not something he wanted to do. Since the Tianzui Branch Leader had the confidence to act, then he should be able to predict that he would have to deal with two or more experts who were one with the world at the same time.
And the words that Bai Qinhu said actually had a very deep meaning. His words were not only for the Bai Clan to hear, but also for the people of the pugilistic world to hear.
If one discovered a secret treasure and wanted to hide it, then there would be a calamity that would lead to the destruction of the entire clan.
And if one offered it to the Driftsnow City of the Extreme North, then they would be like the Fang Clan, receiving the protection and status they deserved. There was no need to say which side was more suitable.
After the people from the Driftsnow City of the Extreme North were welcomed into the Fang Clan, Chu Xiu immediately stealthily retreated into the backyard of the Fang Clan.
At this moment, regardless of whether it was the people of the Fang Clan or the people of the pugilistic world, all of their attention was on the front yard. The people of the Fang Clan would officially hand over the blood jade to the people from the Driftsnow City.
Although this was just a ceremony, it was a ceremony that was held in front of everyone, and there was even the morgue village as a witness.
If in the future, the Driftsnow City of the Extreme North went back on their word and didn't protect the Fang Clan, that would be a violation of the rules. Not only would the Driftsnow City of the Extreme North lose face, even the morgue village would have to speak out for the Fang Clan, seeking justice for the Fang Clan. This was also the role of a witness, just like how Zen Master Hengshan acted as a witness during the Grand Assembly of Yao Nanqian's Golden Basin Washing Hands.
In the backyard, Chu Xiu was hiding under a rock garden. At this moment, the majority of the people of the Fang Clan were in the front yard. Basically, no one would come to the backyard. And even if someone came, they wouldn't be able to discover Chu Xiu.
At this time, a Fang Clan disciple in his twenties came to the backyard sneakily with a box in his hand, looking around for something.
Chu Xiu picked up the long sword in his hand and rhythmically knocked on the rock garden a few times. The young man's eyes suddenly lit up and immediately ran to Chu Xiu's side, stuffed the box into Chu Xiu's hands, and cautiously said, "I've brought the thing for you, quickly leave, directly from the backyard, the front yard is already full of martial artists, I can't leave for too long, otherwise it will arouse suspicion."
After saying that, the young martial artist was about to leave.
But at this time, when Chu Xiu took the box, he felt that something was slightly wrong.
He directly opened the box. Inside the box was an exquisite blood jade that was the size of a fist and had an irregular shape. It contained countless intricate blood lines, appearing incomparably mystical and magnificent. It was the shape of the legendary blood jade.
Seeing that Chu Xiu opened the box, the young man suddenly became a little flustered, he hurriedly said, "What are you still looking at here? Quickly take the thing and leave! Otherwise, if we're discovered, both of us will be out of luck! "
Looking at the blood jade, Chu Xiu suddenly stretched out his hand and grabbed the martial artist's neck, coldly saying, "This isn't a blood jade at all!"
The Fang Clan martial artist struggled, "What are you doing? If this isn't a blood jade, what else can it be? Let me go, could it be that you want to cheat on me? "
Looking at the Fang Clan martial artist, Chu Xiu's eyes revealed a trace of coldness. This Fang Clan martial artist was lying, and even that Heaven Crime Branch Leader's plan was problematic!
In the original plot, Chu Xiu had never seen a blood jade, nor had he seen one in this life, only heard of it. But now, the thing in the box looked exactly like a blood jade, so why did Chu Xiu think that it wasn't a blood jade?
The reason was very simple, it was because the Baleful Blood Energy he condensed was utterly unable to resonate with the energy within the Blood Jade Crystal in the slightest!
Chu Xiu's secret technique, Piercing the Sun and Moon, was a martial art of the Blood River Sect. It could be said that it came from the same source as this blood jade.
In the end, Chu Xiu had not sensed any power that belonged to the Blood River Sect from the Blood Jade Exquisite. After that, he had opened the box and tested it with the Blood Qi, but the Blood Jade Exquisite did not resonate with him at all.
A treasure refined by a sect using their own secret technique could not even trigger the sect's own martial art to resonate. What was this if not a joke?
Also, after discovering that there was a problem with the blood jade, Chu Xiu realized that there was something wrong with the Heaven Crime Branch Leader's plan.
When the Heaven Crime Branch Leader told him this plan, Chu Xiu felt that something was wrong, but he could not tell what exactly was wrong.
Only now did Chu Xiu know what was wrong. This plan was too smooth!
There was no problem with the arrangement of the plan. The problem was that the Heaven Crime Branch Leader only needed to bribe a direct descendant of the Fang Family to steal the real blood jade.
In the process, the blood jade would fall back into the hands of the Fang Family, but it would not be controlled by just one person from the Fang Family. There would definitely be many people, including the disciples of the morgue. After all, Meng Yuanlong had not come alone. He had brought many disciples with him.
Putting Chu Xiu in the shoes of this Fang Family disciple, with Chu Xiu's strength and the secret technique he knew, the chances of him successfully swapping the blood jade was less than 10%. How could this Fang Family disciple so easily swap the blood jade? Even if he was the son of the Fang Family's head, it would still be impossible.
Furthermore, this Fang Family disciple in front of him was only at the Blood Condensation realm, and he didn't seem to be very scheming. On the contrary, he seemed to be a bit impatient. If Division Leader Tian Sin wanted to rely on him to steal the Blood Jade Exquisite, then that would be a joke!
Looking at the Fang Family disciple, a cold light appeared in Chu Xiu's eyes.
The Heaven Extinguishing Earth Extinguishing Soul Shifting Technique was used. In an instant, Chu Xiu's eyes seemed to become a bottomless abyss. The Fang Family disciple's gaze involuntarily sank deeper and deeper into that bottomless abyss, completely losing himself.
With Chu Xiu's current cultivation base, using the Heaven Extinguishing Earth Extinguishing Soul Shifting Technique to deal with a Soul Condensation cultivator was very simple.
"Is the blood jade real?" asked Chu Xiu in a low voice.
The Fang Family disciple said in a sluggish voice, "It's fake. The real blood jade is being guarded by two Elders of the Fang Family as well as several disciples of the morgue. Although I'm a direct descendant, I don't have the qualifications to approach it."
Chu Xiu's expression turned cold and he continued to ask, "Then what's the deal with this thing you gave me?"
"It was given to me by that lord. He told me to come to the rear courtyard at this time and give it to someone. He also told me to treat the box as the real blood jade. I had to personally see him take it and leave the Fang Family. I only had a quarter hour before he left the Fang Family's territory."
"Who is that lord?"
"I don't know, but he gave me many cultivation techniques and cultivation resources. Afterwards, I can take these things and leave the Fang Family, living a life of riches and freedom."
"Did he give you any other orders?"
"No, that's all."
Chu Xiu's expression was dark as he strangled the Fang Family disciple to death. At this time, he was certain that he had been played. To be more accurate, he had been used as a pawn by the Heaven Crime Branch Leader. Or perhaps it was better to say that he had been abandoned!
