In the silent night, a few black-clothed figures abruptly emerged from the darkness and walked into the tavern one by one.
Most of them were Chu Xiu's acquaintances: Tang Ya, Yan Bugui, Ghost Hand Monarch, Fire Slave, and Wolf King.
However, there was a stranger among them. He was around 30 years old and carried a longsword on his back. He was at the Physical Invulnerability Realm, but his qi presence was weak and couldn't be compared to Tang Ya, Yan Bugui, or even Chu Xiu. He should have just entered the Physical Invulnerability Realm.
His mask was hanging on his waist and there were two sword scars, one green and one purple. He was currently looking at Chu Xiu with a judgmental and provocative gaze.
Looking at the Ghost Hand Monarch and the others, Chu Xiu spoke indifferently, "Branch Master is really persistent. The people from the Morgue and the Northern Drifting Snow City have all left. Even the nearby Azure Water Sword Sect has withdrawn. Yet, he still asked you guys to keep watch in Wei Prefecture. He is really willing to pay the price."
Fire Slave smiled bitterly and said, "Not all of us are here to keep watch. Instead, we are taking turns to come to Wei County to gather information. At least one-third to half of the entire Heaven Sin Branch is guarding the Southern Shang Mang Mountain."
Looking at Chu Xiu who was still leisurely drinking, the Ghost Hand Monarch sighed, "Chu Xiu, why bother? The Blood Jade Exquisite is a good item, but is it worth it to betray the Blue Dragon Society and be hunted by various factions?"
Chu Xiu raised his brows and said, "Ghost Hand Monarch, you and I might not have known each other for long, but you should know what kind of person I am. Do you think I am the kind of person who would be blinded by greed? I don't want to betray the Blue Dragon Society either, but someone is forcing me to betray the Blue Dragon Society! "
The Ghost Hand Monarch frowned, "Forcing you to betray the Blue Dragon Society? Wasn't the Blood Jade Exquisite stolen by you? "
Right at this moment, the Physical Invulnerability Realm martial artist snorted, "Ghost Hand Monarch, why are you wasting your breath on him? Lord Branch Master will be here soon. To deal with such a traitor, could it be that you still want Lord Branch Master to personally take action? "
The Ghostly Hand King's face was a little ugly. Although he wasn't a Physical Invulnerability expert in the Heavenly Sin Division, he was the most experienced one.
In the past, Tang Ya and Yan Bu Gui, who were the strongest among them, had never spoken to him like this. Later on, the most famous Chu Xiu had also never spoken to him like this. But right now, this martial artist's tone was almost like a reprimand.
Chu Xiu acted as if he did not see that cultivator. Instead, he looked at the Ghostly Hand Monarch and asked, "Who is he?"
The Ghost Hand King ignored that warrior and said coolly, "Abandoned disciple of the Ba Mountain Sword Sect, 'Green Lightning Sword' Chen Jiao. Three months after you left the Heavenly Sin Division, Division Master brought him into the Heavenly Sin Division. Division Master thinks highly of him."
The Ghost Hand King emphasized the word 'regard highly'. Obviously, he was disdainful of Chen Jiao.
When the other had first joined the Heavenly Sin Division, his attitude had been relatively humble. But later on, his arrogant and domineering side was revealed.
In the past, in the Heavenly Sin Division, Tang Ya's personality had just been a bit strange, but he had not used his strength to bully others. Yan Bu Gui was even more so. He was usually too lazy to even speak.
And Chu Xiu's personality was that if people respected him, he would respect them tenfold. The Ghostly Hand King did not take advantage of his seniority. The fire slave, the Wolf King, and the other assassins without nicknames were sufficiently respectful to him. Chu Xiu did not have the bad taste to put on airs as an expert.
But this Chen Jiao was different. This person came from an old sect like the Ba Mountain Sword Sect. His concept of class was too strong. Usually, he would order around old people like the Ghostly Hand King who were in charge of the division's affairs. He had even less respect for the fire slave, the Wolf King, and other martial artists who were weaker than him.
Of course, if this Chen Jiao was just arrogant and domineering, he would not have been able to survive in the Heavenly Sin Division. Naturally, someone would teach him a lesson.
This Chen Jiao's greatest advantage was that he knew how to observe moderation, and he knew how to flatter the Heavenly Sin Division Leader.
In the past, the Heavenly Sin Division had never had someone like this. The Ghostly Hand King was just smooth. The fire slave and the Wolf King only listened to the division leader, but they would not actively flatter him.
As to Tang Ya and Yan Bu Gui, there was no need to mention them. They probably did not even know what flattery was.
The Heavenly Sin Division Leader was also a person. He naturally liked to listen to flattery and flattery.
In the past, Tang Ya and the others had strength. As long as they were obedient, he would not ask for so much.
But now, this Chen Jiao came from the Ba Mountain Sword Sect. He had strength, and knew how to flatter. His position in the Heavenly Sin Division Leader's heart was higher.
On the other side, Chen Jiao heard the disdain in the Ghostly Hand King's tone, and the dismissive attitudes of Tang Ya and the others, and his expression darkened.
This Chu Xiu in front of him was just a traitor of the Blue Dragon Society. But it seemed that in their eyes, his status was not even as high as Chu Xiu.
Chen Zhao snorted coldly. He pulled out his flashing blue longsword and pointed it at Chu Xiu. He shouted, "All of you, shut up! What is the meaning of you chatting and laughing with this traitor? The Division Leader spent half a year to find his tracks. Now that he has been released, can you bear the responsibility? "
From the moment he entered, Chen Jiao had maintained great enmity towards Chu Xiu. This was not because he was loyal to the Heavenly Sin Division Leader, but out of jealousy.
While Chu Xiu had defected after he joined the Blue Dragon Society, the other assassins in the Blue Dragon Society would still talk about how famous Chu Xiu had been in the Blue Dragon Society in the past, and how powerful he had been. He did not have a temper, unlike Chen Jiao and the others who would often compare him to Chu Xiu.
After this happened many times, Chen Jiao naturally felt a wave of jealousy and dissatisfaction towards Chu Xiu, and even resentment.
Especially today, when he entered the door, the Ghostly Hand King and the others showed a sense of alienation, as though Chu Xiu was their comrade, and he was the outsider.
Of course, this was the reality.
In the past, Chu Xiu's performance in the Blue Dragon Society was obvious to all. Everyone present had carried out missions with him. In the battle of the Yao Clan, he had killed Yao Nanqian and the others in front of all the experts of the various sects and destroyed the Yao Clan. From then on, the Blue Dragon Society's Heavenly Sin Division had returned to the eyes of the pugilistic world of East Swallow. These were all genuine achievements.
Chen Jiao, an outsider who had just joined, was so arrogant. What right did he have? Just because he knew how to flatter? This was indeed disdain. This was the disdain that the seniors of the Blue Dragon Society had for a newcomer like Chen Jiao.
With Chen Jiao pointing his sword at him, Chu Xiu suddenly sneered. In the next moment, he actually directly attacked. He formed the Army Formula with his hand, and the Great Vajra Wheel Seal came crashing down. Unparalleled vajra, world subduing demons!
The moment Chu Xiu made his move, the Ghost Hand King and the others tacitly took a step back. No one paid attention to Chen Jiao. Instead, they watched curiously as Chu Xiu made his move.
They had worked with Chu Xiu before, so they had some understanding of Chu Xiu's strength.
In the end, the seal technique that Chu Xiu displayed was something that none of them had ever seen before. Furthermore, its might was astonishingly great. Other than Yan Bu Gui, who was similarly incomparably violent, there was no one else present who dared to receive this seal from Chu Xiu.
At this time, Chen Jiao was the same. In a state of shock, he slashed out with the indigo sword in his hand. In an instant, the indigo sword light with lightning fell. In an instant, he had slashed out hundreds of times. Under Chu Xiu's Great Vajra Wheel Imprint, a layer of sword light net was formed.
Chen Jiao also cultivated the Purple Lightning Azure Light Sword of the Ba Mountain Sword Sect, and his strength was not weak.
After all, he came from one of the seven sects and eight schools. Even if his disciple's strength was weak, it would not be that weak.
Moreover, if Chen Jiao was really useless, the Heavenly Sin Division Leader would not have accepted him into the Blue Dragon Society.
After all, although the Heavenly Sin Division Leader was a little narrow-minded, his requirements were very strict. Those who could be accepted into the division by the Heavenly Sin Division Leader were all outstanding people.
But now, Chen Jiao encountered Chu Xiu. Chu Xiu had just come out of seclusion, and his strength had greatly improved!
Golden Gang Qi blossomed on the seal, giving Chu Xiu, who was dressed in black, a feeling of holiness. He was like a real Buddhist Vajra that could subdue demons.
A violent explosion rang out. Chu Xiu's incomparably ferocious Great Vajra Wheel Seal had directly shattered Chen Jiao's lightning-net sword-light. A great force assaulted him, causing Chen Jiao to almost lose his grip on the longsword in his hand. He took a few steps back, each step causing deep cracks to appear on the ground beneath his feet. Only then did he barely manage to dispel the force. However, a strand of blood flowed from his mouth.
Chen Jiao looked at Chu Xiu, his eyes flashing with shock.
In the Heavenly Sin Division, he would often hear all kinds of rumors about Chu Xiu. At that time, Chen Jiao was naturally unconvinced. No matter how strong the other was, he was only an Inner Invulnerability Cultivator.
But now that they were fighting, not only was the Outer Invulnerability Cultivator, but his strength was even more terrifying than those warriors who had been in the Outer Invulnerability Realm for many years. He could not even take one blow from him!
Not only Chen Jiao, but even Tang Ya and the others were looking at Chu Xiu in shock. Clearly, they did not expect that the current Chu Xiu had already reached such a level of strength.
The Ghost Hand King exclaimed, "Is this the power you obtained after stealing the Blood Jade Crystal and refining it?"
Chu Xiu said indifferently, "I already said that I never thought of snatching the Blood Jade Jadestone. I know my own capabilities. If the Heavenly Sin Branch Master's plan was normal, I would not have had the chance to snatch the Blood Jade Jadestone. It's a pity that the plan to snatch the Blood Jade Exquisite Jade was originally a trap. Didn't you guys notice that something was wrong? "
As he spoke, Chu Xiu told the truth of the matter.
Looking at the few people present, Chu Xiu said calmly, "We are all working together, and I did not want to fall out with you guys. But the Heavenly Sin Division Leader, for his own selfish desires, wanted me to attract the firepower and use me as a shield. Of course, I did not want to die, so I could only betray the Blue Dragon Society. Everyone, if this happened to you, how would you choose? "
As soon as he said this, everyone present had different expressions. They were all silent, especially Tang Ya. His face was expressionless, and he only looked deeply at Chu Xiu.
Tang Ya was a smart person. Because the Heavenly Sin Division Leader had been chosen between him and Chu Xiu, Tang Ya was more sensitive to this matter. He had secretly investigated some information and had more or less deduced the truth of the matter.
Previously, when they were tracking Chu Xiu, he purposely revealed his aura and left a dart to warn Chu Xiu. After all, if not for Chu Xiu, he would have been the one being abandoned.
