Lü Hau Chang was dead. To be precise, he was angered to death by Yama.
After all, he was the ruler of a country. Although he was not much, the combined forces of the entire Eastern Qi could be compared to a top-notch sect. Of course, that was in the Lower Realm.
However, Yama treated him like he was an ant. It was disdain that came from the bottom of his heart. It made Lü Hau Chang feel extremely humiliated and angry.
Even when Chu Xiu was in the Lower Realm, although he did not really take Eastern Qi seriously, he still treated him with respect on the surface and even addressed him as His Majesty.
Lü Hau Chang, who was already on the verge of death, died after being provoked by Yama.
This was something that Chu Xiu did not expect. Who would have thought that Lü Hau Chang, who had been an emperor for his entire life, would have such a low tolerance level?
However, it was not a bad thing. With Lü Hau Chang's death, all the forces of Eastern Qi were extremely angry and aggrieved.
A dynasty was the combination of countless forces. This was something that Yama did not understand.
Lü Hau Chang's strength was indeed like that of an ant, and he was even very muddle-headed.
However, as long as he sat on the dragon throne, he was the representative of this collective of interests. He was their face.
Yama was so angry that Lü Hau Chang died. Basically, after slapping Eastern Qi's face until it was swollen, he stepped on it ruthlessly.
However, even if the people of Eastern Qi were angry, what could they do? What could they do to the Sanskrit Sect? What could they do to an Eighth Heaven Martial Immortal expert?
They could only endure it and settle their own matters first.
After Lü Hau Chang's death, Eastern Qi started another internal strife.
However, this internal strife was very short. It ended in less than three days. The final winner was the Second Prince, Lü Longguang.
After successfully ascending to the throne of Eastern Qi, he began to hold the funeral and enthronement ceremony. He invited the envoys of Northern Yan and West Chu, as well as the major sects in Jianghu.
The Kunlun Devil Cult was the only sect in the Lower Realm that could compete with the top Daluotian forces. Naturally, they were invited as well.
However, Eastern Qi thought that the Kunlun Devil Cult would only send some emissaries. He did not expect that it would be Chu Xiu himself.
Upon hearing this news, Lv Longguang and a group of Eastern Qi's higher-ups personally came out to greet Chu Xiu with great respect.
After the incident with Yama, they finally understood how powerful a Martial Immortal was compared to a mortal's strength. It could be said that a Martial Immortal was like a real demigod. Even the weakest Martial Immortal in Eastern Qi would not be able to withstand his mortal strength.
After so many years of not seeing each other, the young and valiant Lv Longguang of the past had already become a middle-aged man with graying temples. His temperament was no longer as sharp and ambitious as before. Now, he seemed to be very cautious.
Chu Xiu sighed and cupped his hands together. "I did not expect the late Emperor to pass away in such a way. But Your Majesty, there is no need to be sad. Everyone dies. Compared to the previous emperors, the late Emperor has lived a long life."
Lv Longguang thought to himself, 'Why should I be sad? I am more than happy that the old thing is dead. If he had lived longer, he would have killed himself.
But now that he is dead, the mess of Eastern Qi is left to me. '
Lv Longguang sighed. "Thank you, Cult Master Chu, for your consolation. I... I can accept my father's death. But when I think of the humiliation and threats from the Sanskrit, I feel so wronged! I, Eastern Qi, feel so wronged! "
In front of Chu Xiu, Lv Longguang, the new emperor of Eastern Qi, was extremely respectful. He did not even address himself as emperor.
Of course, this was not only because of Chu Xiu's strength, but also because of Chu Xiu's attitude.
When Chu Xiu went to Eastern Qi and threatened the Phantom Phantom King, Chao Ying, they thought that Chu Xiu was overbearing and lawless.
But after witnessing Yanmo's actions, they finally understood what it meant to be overbearing and lawless.
At least Chu Xiu abided by the rules of the Lower Realm. He addressed Lv Longguang as His Majesty. This time, he came personally to pay respects to Lü Hau Chang and to attend the coronation ceremony. This made Lv Longguang and the people of Eastern Qi feel inexplicably touched. They felt that they were valued and favored by someone.
Chu Xiu narrowed his eyes and shook his head. "Let it go, Your Majesty. A new era has begun in the Daluotian Lower Realm. This is an era of great competition. The rules of the past are no longer applicable. Everyone is determined by their strength. In the past, in Northern Yan, there were even sects that sought refuge with the Martial Immortals of the Upper Realm. They then occupied the palace of the Northern Yan Emperor. They did not respect the Northern Yan Royalty at all. "
Although Eastern Qi and Northern Yan were enemies, when Lv Longguang heard this news, he felt that they were in the same boat.
"How was the matter handled in the end?" Lv Longguang asked.
Chu Xiu narrowed his eyes. "I supported the Northern Yan Emperor, Xiang Li, to the throne. Who doesn't know that Northern Yan is under the control of the Holy Church?
They dared to be rude to the Northern Yan Emperor and did not take the Northern Yan Emperor seriously. That means they did not take me, Chu Xiu, or the Holy Church seriously!
In the end, I threw the guy who sought refuge with Gu Zun to my men. He should be dead by now.
I also drove Gu Zun out of Northern Yan. I don't think he dares to come back.
He even invited Fang Daochen of the Star River Martial School to help. What a joke!
The Star River Martial School has yet to gain a firm foothold in Eastern Qi. They dared to meddle in the affairs of Northern Yan. I also chased them out. "
Chu Xiu's words made Lv Longguang's blood boil. He was even envious of his counterpart in the north.
This was the confidence that came from having a backer. This was the confidence that came from strength!
Although it was uncomfortable to be a vassal now that he was the emperor, it was better than being threatened like this.
Lv Longguang gritted his teeth. "Cult Master Chu, you should know the situation of Eastern Qi. The Sanskrit Cult has gone too far. I, Eastern Qi, cannot hold on any longer. If you are willing to save me, Eastern Qi, I, Eastern Qi, am willing to make the Kunlun Devil Cult the national religion. I, Cult Master Chu, will follow your lead! "
The surrounding higher-ups of Eastern Qi all jumped in fright.
Lv Longguang had not discussed this with them. He had said it on his own accord.
Chu Xiu raised an eyebrow. "Are you sure? Do you know that by doing this, you've completely offended the Sanskrit Sect? Not only that, you've also been tied to our Kunlun Demon Sect. Once something happens to our Kunlun Demon Sect, your Eastern Qi Kingdom will suffer as well. "
Lv Longguang was just being impulsive. But now, he nodded firmly. "I can't do anything about it now. How can I care about the future?
The Sanskrit Cult wants a thousand disciples who are not inferior to the Great Light Temple and Subodhi Monastery. How can I, Eastern Qi, provide them?
Instead of being blamed and threatened by the Sanskrit Cult, I might as well turn against them now! "
Chu Xiu nodded in understanding. "It's rare for Your Majesty to have such decisiveness and determination. I have a grudge against the Sanskrit Cult as well. Of course, I'm willing to help Your Majesty. But it's not enough to rely on Eastern Qi alone. We need to gather the power of the entire Eastern Qi martial arts world to force the Sanskrit Cult. We need to let them know that the people of the Lower Realm are not to be trifled with. "
Lv Longguang nodded. "Cult Master Chu, just tell me what you want to do. I will do as you say."
"Good. The Ying Family's Patriarch and Lu Changliu should be here, right? I want to meet them. Help me make the arrangements. "
In the entire Eastern Qi martial arts world, there were only two forces that had prestige and reputation. If they could take them down, they would be able to take down 90% of the forces in the Eastern Qi martial arts world.
The Ying Family was the leader of the Nine Great Clans. Now that the Ying Family's Patriarch had become a Martial Immortal, they had both power and reputation.
As for the True Martial Sect, it was because of Ning Xuanji.
Lv Haochang's funeral and Lv Longguang's ascension to the throne — these two matters were more than enough for the Ying Family's Patriarch to make a personal visit. However, after exchanging a few pleasantries, the Ying Family's Patriarch and Ying Bailu were summoned to a separate hall.
The two were puzzled. As soon as they opened the door, they saw Chu Xiu.
Chu Xiu had a faint smile on his face. "Senior Ying, Brother Ying, how have you been?"
"Cult Master Chu, why are you here?"
The Ying Family's Patriarch's tone was filled with vigilance. From his point of view, anything related to Chu Xiu was definitely not a good thing.
Lv Longguang, who was behind them, immediately closed the door and pretended to be having a private conversation.
"Is it strange for me to be here when such a big thing has happened in Eastern Qi?"
Chu Xiu asked in return. Then, he said in a deep voice, "Of course, I'm here for one more thing. For the future of the Eastern Qi martial arts world!
How does Senior Ying feel about the Sanskrit Sect's oppression and threats? It's been a long time since you've felt so aggrieved.
The Sanskrit Sect has caused great indignation in Eastern Qi. They don't respect the Eastern Qi martial arts world or the rules of the Lower Realm at all. Senior Ying, don't you feel anything about these things? "
The Ying Family's Patriarch raised his eyebrows. "What does this have to do with Cult Master Chu?"
He could roughly guess Chu Xiu's intentions. However, due to Chu Xiu's previous reputation, he felt that there was a conspiracy behind it. He dared not simply trust Chu Xiu.
Chu Xiu pointed at Lv Longguang. "Of course it has something to do with me. His Majesty personally invited me here to uphold justice for Eastern Qi. He even allowed the Kunlun Devil Cult to become the national religion of Eastern Qi. Do you think this has anything to do with me?
Senior Ying, I know you're wary of me. In the past, we belonged to the righteous and the demonic paths, and there might have been some misunderstandings between us.
However, things are different now. The Daluotian Lower Realm and a new era has begun. The old ways are meaningless now.
You know what the Sanskrit Sect is doing, but you can't fight back.
You've just become a Martial Immortal and are in high spirits. However, you find yourself still a weakling in the eyes of others. That must be a terrible feeling.
The Ying Family is the leader of the Nine Great Clans. If you're willing to be oppressed and exploited by the Sanskrit Sect, then forget what I said.
However, Senior Ying, you've dominated the Pugilistic World for your entire life. Are you willing to be like this? I heard that you're going to inherit the position of Patriarch soon. Are you willing to be the Patriarch of the Ying Family like this? "
The Ying Family's Patriarch and Ying Bailu fell silent.
Although they had heard that Chu Xiu was eloquent, they had always thought that he was only good at sowing discord and stirring up trouble.
However, Chu Xiu's every word could be said to have struck a chord in their hearts.
