Chu Xiu had never heard of the history of the Land of Eastern Qi hundreds of years ago in the original plot. Now that he heard it, it was quite novel. The fact that several generals could destroy the bloodline of the royal family showed how weak the Jiang royal family was back then.
In this world where martial power was respected, no one cared about things like monarch, minister, father and son, loyalty, filial piety, benevolence, and so on. Martial power was always placed above these things.
When the emperor and the entire royal family were powerful, the people under them would bow down to them.
On the contrary, if even the royal family was completely weakened, why would they follow the orders of a good-for-nothing?
Moreover, after listening to Li Busan talk about Jiang Wenyuan, Chu Xiu felt that Jiang Wenyuan was courting death.
Why could the Jiang bloodline survive until now? Because the Eastern Qi royal family valued their reputation.
Although the Jiang bloodline was dismissed because the current generation of the royal family was indeed useless and the emperor was too muddle-headed, Eastern Qi was likely to face the destruction of the country if they continued to be foolishly loyal. However, it was still a plot to usurp the throne, and it was not a good thing to say.
Now, the Eastern Qi royal family could be said to be a prostitute and yet still have a good reputation. The fact that they did not exterminate the Jiang bloodline was their reputation.
If the Jiang bloodline had been content to be rich, it would have been fine. The Eastern Qi royal family would not have let this reputation collapse.
Just from the title they gave the Jiang bloodline, one could tell that they would live a peaceful and happy life. As long as they did not cause any trouble, the throne would always be hereditary.
However, the Jiang bloodline was very stubborn. They relied on the fact that the Eastern Qi royal family valued their reputation and did not dare to touch him, so they often competed with the Eastern Qi royal family.
Li Busan was not clear about other things, but what Jiang Wenyuan was doing now was purely courting death in Chu Xiu's view. He was challenging the nerves of the Eastern Qi royal family.
For example, the Dragon Gatherer Pavilion he opened would not be a problem for others, but it would be a big problem for Jiang Wenyuan.
Why? Does your Jiang bloodline want to gather the Dragon Qi and take back the throne that belongs to you?
Also, why did the Dragon Gathering Pavilion have nine floors? Moreover, only the last five floors had entry requirements, not the last six or the last four floors?
Combined with the identity of the Jiang bloodline, it was easy to associate them with the term 'supreme ruler'.
Jiang Wenyuan had really taken the Eastern Qi Royal Family as fools, or perhaps he was a little too fearless, which was why he dared to do these things so blatantly.
There was also Jiang Wenyuan. Although his martial arts talent was not very good, and could even be said to be very poor, he was already in his forties, and had only reached the Xiantian realm with the help of countless pills. His combat strength was even worse. However, he was very fond of making friends with people from Jianghu, especially those from big sects and aristocratic families.
It could even be said that as long as one was able to set foot on the last five floors of the Dragon Assembling Pavilion, Jiang Wenyuan would personally come out to welcome them.
Everyone knew how the current Eastern Qi royal family had seized the throne of Eastern Qi in the past. They had relied on force to force the abdication.
But now, you've made friends with so many Jianghu people. What are you doing? Are you trying to rebel?
Chu Xiu didn't know if Jiang Wenyuan had good luck or the endurance of the Dongqi royal family to be able to survive until now.
In Chu Xiu's previous life, there was a person who was very similar to Jiang Wenyuan, and the things he did were also very similar. However, his ending was very miserable. That person's name was Chai Jin.
Of course, none of this had much to do with the current Chu Xiu. Instead, he was very interested in the fine wine and delicacies made from spiritual herbs in the Dragon Assembling Pavilion.
With Li Bu San leading the way, Chu Xiu directly arrived at the Dragon Assembling Pavilion.
Since ancient times, Eastern Qi had been prosperous. A nine-story building was not considered rare. However, the Dragon Assembling Pavilion was exceptionally grand. The height of one floor was almost comparable to two floors of other restaurants. Therefore, in the Qi Province Prefecture, the Dragon Assembling Pavilion could be said to be the tallest building. The exterior was also very luxurious and magnificent. The precious glazed tiles were used as ordinary bricks.
Furthermore, every floor was carved with a coiling dragon statue. The exterior was gilded, but the eyes and the pearls in the dragon's mouth were made of extremely precious gemstones.
By doing this, the Dragon Assembling Pavilion was equivalent to placing a pile of precious treasures on the streets. However, Jiang Wenyuan was not worried that someone would steal it. In fact, no one would dare to steal it.
After all, Jiang Wenyuan was the King of Ease of Eastern Qi. On top of that, he had opened the Dragon Assembling Pavilion for so many years. He had made friends with many disciples from the big sects and many outstanding talents in Jianghu. Who would not give him face? Daring to steal from the Dragon Assembling Pavilion was equivalent to courting death.
Stepping into the Dragon Assembling Pavilion, the interior was decorated with jewels and jewels. However, it was only splendid, not gaudy.
Just as Chu Xiu and Li Bu San stepped through the door, a well-dressed waiter approached them and asked respectfully, "Which floor would you like to go to?"
The last five floors were specially prepared for the elites. The first four floors were also based on how much money one had in their pockets. Each floor had a different spending level. If someone with a lower level went to the fourth floor and pretended to be rich, the consequences would be very miserable.
Li Bu San proudly said, "My young master is planning to go to the last five floors."
As soon as these words were spoken, the attention of all the customers immediately turned to look at them.
However, when they saw Chu Xiu and Li Bu San, most of the customers had a look of mockery in their eyes.
Not everyone could enter the last five floors of the Dragon Assembling Pavilion. Before the God Weapon Conference started, those who entered the Dragon Assembling Pavilion were the young talents of Eastern Qi. Most of the waiters knew each other and they would be directly led to the last five floors.
After the God Weapon Conference started, some of the rogue martial artists from Northern Yan and West Chu did not know the immensity of heaven and earth. They even wanted to enter the last five floors. In the end, they were taught a lesson. Some of them even dared to make a scene in the Dragon Assembling Pavilion. The consequences were obvious.
Now, Chu Xiu and Li Bu San were dressed very ordinarily. Especially Li Bu San, he was just an ordinary martial artist of the lowest level. How could such a person be qualified to enter the Dragon Assembling Pavilion?
As people of Eastern Qi, these people looked at the martial artists from Northern Yan and West Chu with a sense of superiority.
The land of Eastern Qi was vast and abundant. Nearly half of the martial artists in the world were gathered in Eastern Qi. Martial arts flourished and the land was prosperous. Its historical heritage was also much more extensive than that of Northern Yan and West Chu. Therefore, in the eyes of the people of Eastern Qi, the people of West Chu were all southern barbarians. As for the Northern Yan, they were just northern barbarians who came from the barren mountains and unruly rivers.
Although Eastern Qi had lost the war with Northern Yan a few years ago, it was only the loss of Wei Jun. Eastern Qi was far from a serious loss.
Moreover, the war that Eastern Qi had faced was not so simple. Below them were the armies of the Northern Yan imperial court. Above them were the experts of the Northern Yan martial artists. Eastern Qi had to fight one against two. It was normal for them to lose. At the very least, they could still treat these foreign martial artists with a superior attitude.
The waiter did not show any unfriendly attitude towards Chu Xiu like the other customers. The Dragon Assembling Pavilion had been open for so many years. There were countless martial artists who came and went. What kind of strange people had they not seen? Even if it was a beggar, he might be an expert from the Beggar Sect. They would still politely welcome him.
"Young master, please come with me."
The waiter gestured to Chu Xiu, but turned to Li Bu San and said, "Attendants are not allowed in the last five floors."
The waiter was not an ordinary waiter. He was also in the Blood Condensation realm. He could see through Li Bu San's strength with a single glance.
Li Bu San smiled awkwardly and said, "Young master, please go up. I will wait for you downstairs."
Originally, he had wanted to borrow Chu Xiu's fame to take a look at the last five floors of the Dragon Assembling Pavilion. But now it seemed that the rules of the Dragon Assembling Pavilion were very strict. If everyone brought their attendants up, how could there be so many seats in the Dragon Assembling Pavilion?
Chu Xiu nodded. The waiter brought Chu Xiu to the fifth floor and said, "Young master, the last five floors of the Dragon Assembling Pavilion are not open to the public. The fifth, sixth, and seventh floors are open to the public as long as you display your strength.
As for the eighth floor, it is specially used to entertain some seniors of the martial arts world. Only the prince can personally greet you.
As for the ninth floor, it is not open to the public. It is specially used by the prince to entertain important guests. "
Chu Xiu asked, "How do I display my strength?"
The waiter clapped his hands. Immediately, an Inner Gang Realm martial artist in his thirties walked to the door from the hut next to him.
This inner aura realm martial artist was tall and sturdy. With a heavy sword in his hand, he gave off a strong sense of oppression.
"It's very simple. As long as you can withstand Cha Kui's attack for an hour, you can enter the fifth floor. Young master can also fight with ease here. The Dragon Assembling Pavilion is filled with formations. Even a great expert in the Unity of the World realm cannot break it, "the waiter said.
At this time, Chu Xiu discovered that the entrance to the fifth floor was different from the other floors. The entrance was much wider than the one downstairs. It was obviously prepared for fights.
At this time, the people on the fourth floor looked at Chu Xiu with a trace of interest. They were all discussing among themselves.
"Another person who wants to enter the fifth floor? How many has there been already? It must be one of those Northern Yan or West Chu barbarians. "
"Hehe, West Chu and Northern Yan are barren places. How many experts can they produce? Most of them are country bumpkins who have never seen the world. Why don't we all make a bet on how many moves this kid can withstand from 'Overlord Sword' Cha Kui? More than ten people came yesterday. In the end, only one could withstand. The rest were all sent flying by Cha Kui's sword. "
"I bet less than ten moves! Cha Kui is a slave from the South Sea bought by Prince Anle. He was born with great strength. Don't be fooled by his inner invulnerability. His pure strength is greater than an outer invulnerability realm martial artist. This kid looks very skinny. Even if Cha Kui doesn't kill him, he won't last more than a few moves. "
Just as the people on the fourth floor were discussing, Chu Xiu suddenly took a step forward. In an instant, a strong gust of earth energy surged towards Cha Kui. The heaven and earth were chaotic. The incomparably dense power of the primordial elements crashed down like a mountain!
