Slandering Chu Xiu in public only to be caught red-handed by one of his subordinates, Wei Chen felt a little awkward.
However, in his opinion, he hadn't done anything too overboard. All he did was scold Chu Xiu a few times. What was the big deal?
Moreover, Wei Chen had never thought that the Wei family had backed down in front of Chu Xiu. He truly believed that the Wei family had only backed down to give Wei Jiuduan face.
Thinking of this, Wei Chen's courage grew. He sneered and said, "You're one of Chu Xiu's subordinates? What, does Chu Xiu think he's the hall master of the Guanzhong Torture Room? I can't even scold him anymore? This is the Chenzhou Prefecture, not Chu Xiu's Jianzhou Prefecture! "
Seeing Wei Chen's stubborn appearance, Han Mu and the others subconsciously took a few steps back, distancing themselves from Wei Chen.
Of course they could scold Chu Xiu, and there were many people who scolded Chu Xiu in the Jianghu.
But the problem was that even if they scolded him, it didn't matter if they scolded him in secret, but if they pointed at Chu Xiu's nose and scolded him to his face, they would be courting death.
Although Wei Chen hadn't scolded Chu Xiu to his face, Chu Xiu's subordinates had heard it. Moreover, it was a fire slave who was loyal to Chu Xiu. This matter was probably not going to end well.
The fire slave's eyes revealed a cold glint. His loyalty to Chu Xiu was built on the premise that Chu Xiu had given him so many things. At the same time, if he wanted to protect his current position and everything else, he had to display his ability.
Wei Chen had insulted Chu Xiu in front of him. If he let this matter go, he would feel sorry for his current position.
"You want to scold Official Chu? Fine, I'll take you back to the Jianzhou Prefecture and let you scold him to your heart's content in front of Official Chu! "
As soon as he finished speaking, the fire slave directly grabbed at Wei Chen.
But at this moment, a sword light suddenly fell and blocked the fire slave's path.
Wei Chen's eyes lit up. "Uncle Li! Save me! "
Suddenly, a middle-aged warrior appeared in front of Wei Chen with a sword in hand. He was a guest of the Wei family and had the strength of a physical invulnerability expert. He had been specially sent to protect Wei Chen.
He was furious that Wei Chen didn't know what was good for him. It was one thing for him to cause trouble in the Wei family, but he didn't even keep his mouth shut outside. However, he was still a direct descendant of the Wei family. If something happened to him, Wei Chen would also suffer.
Therefore, Uncle Li cupped his hands and said, "Lord Fire Slave, this child is insensible and has offended Lord Chu Xiu. Please forgive him. Is there a need to make such a big fuss over such a small matter?"
This brat always came to the Chen State Prefecture to drink with women.
"My Lord once said that people must be responsible for their words and actions. He insulted my Lord in front of me. This is not a small matter.
"Didn't you say that he doesn't know? Fine, hand him to me and let me bring him back to the Jianzhou Prefecture. I will 'teach' him a lesson and let him know how to be sensible! "
Uncle Li's expression changed when he heard the fire slave's words.
If Wei Chen was brought back by the fire slave, he would probably lose a layer of skin even if he didn't die.
Uncle Li said in a low voice, "Lord Fire Lord, are you really not giving my Wei family any face?"
The fire slave's expression instantly changed from smiling to disdain. He spat and said disdainfully, "Your Wei family has no face at all! Didn't your family head Wei Moqu come to find trouble with my Lord? What happened in the end? In the end, he still left with his tail between his legs. "
Uncle Li frowned. He didn't expect Chu Xiu's underlings to not give the Wei family any face.
"Young Master Chen, you leave first. I will cover you."
In this situation, they had no choice but to fight. Uncle Li turned around and instructed Wei Chen, preparing to have him retreat first.
But at this moment, the fire slave sneered, "Leave? None of you can leave! "
As soon as he finished speaking, the fire slave took the initiative to attack. His body was like a swimming fish, inexplicably strange. Almost in the blink of an eye, he appeared in front of Uncle Li.
Uncle Li also didn't expect the fire slave to be so fast. He subconsciously slashed with the long sword in his hand. A few feet long sword energy danced in the air, trying to stop the fire slave.
But when he saw the strength of Uncle Li's earth energy, the fire slave sneered in his heart.
This guy looked much older than him. He should have stepped into the physical invulnerability stage many years ago. But when he attacked, the sword energy didn't even reach ten feet. He was simply trash.
The fire slave's palm fell. The red earth energy wasn't released, but condensed in his palm. He actually used the earth energy of his palm to resist Uncle Li's sword energy.
With a loud explosion, Uncle Li's sword blasted the fire slave several steps away. However, the long sword in his hand instantly turned red. A strange and evil fire power seeped into Uncle Li's body and burned his meridians. He immediately groaned in pain, and his complexion changed dramatically.
At this time, the fire slave rushed forward again and formed a seal with both hands. The Fire Qi in Uncle Li's body seemed to have a life of its own. While it was burning his meridians, it actually brought along his Blood Qi. When he was sent flying by the fire slave's palm, the Fire Qi in his body directly returned to the fire slave's body and took away a part of his Blood Qi. This caused Uncle Li's complexion to turn deathly pale.
The fire slave's cultivation method was inherited from a tribe in the Western Region. It wasn't considered a demonic cultivation method, but it was extremely evil. When the fire energy seeped into the opponent's body, as long as it wasn't completely consumed by the opponent, it could be retracted. It also carried a part of the opponent's Qi and blood. It could be said that the more it fought, the stronger it became.
After a few moves, Uncle Li was already seriously injured. At this moment, Wei Chen hadn't reached the door yet. He was already out of time!
Uncle Li struggled to stand up, but his eyes were already filled with shock.
It was understandable that Chu Xiu had the strength to crush those of the same level. But how could his subordinate be so strong? He had just stepped into the physical invulnerability stage and already had such powerful combat strength?
What he didn't know was that the fire slave was from the Blue Dragon Society. It was different from him, who wasn't young but could only be a guest in a small family.
Although the assassins from the Blue Dragon Society didn't have the highest realm among those of the same age, their combat strength was higher than most people of the same realm.
After all, the Blue Dragon Society trained to kill. If you didn't have the strength to fight multiple people of the same level, why would you be an assassin? You would just be waiting to be killed.
"I told you, none of you can escape today!"
The fire slave didn't care about Uncle Li, who was already seriously injured. Instead, he turned around and grabbed Wei Chen, who was about to leave the restaurant.
Just as he was about to grab Wei Chen, Jiang Taoran, the inspector of the Chen State Prefecture, suddenly appeared and slammed his palm against the fire slave. The powerful palm force sent the fire slave flying, but Jiang Taoran just casually waved his hand to expel the evil fire from the fire slave's palm force.
There was still a huge gap between the Three Flower Realm and the physical invulnerability stage. The fire slave wasn't Chu Xiu, who dared to fight with people one or two levels higher than him at any time.
Looking at Jiang Taoran, the fire slave said coldly, "Sir Jiang, what do you mean? Do you want to protect this guy who dared to slander Official Chu? "
Jiang Taoran frowned and said, "This is the Chen State Prefecture's territory. Fire slave, give me some face and let this matter go. If you want to fight, can't you fight somewhere else?"
As the inspector of the Chen State Prefecture, Jiang Taoran naturally knew that the fight had begun in the restaurant. In fact, he had already rushed over when he heard that Wei Chen was in conflict with the fire slave.
Who knew that when he arrived, Jiang Taoran realized that the situation was more troublesome than he had imagined. The fire slave's attitude was tougher than he had imagined.
He didn't want to provoke the Nine Plains Wei Family, and he didn't want to provoke Chu Xiu either. As long as these two didn't fight in the Chen State Prefecture, everything would be fine.
The fire slave said with a warm smile, "Of course, I have to give face to Sir Jiang. I won't kill him. I just need to bring Wei Chen back."
Jiang Taoran's face immediately darkened. This fire slave still wants to kill? He coldly snorted and said, "Fire slave, don't play word games with me. You know what I mean. Once we leave the Chen State Prefecture, you can do whatever you want as long as you don't fight in my territory."
The fire slave slowly said, "Once we leave the Chen State Prefecture, they will all return to the Wei Family. If I let them run away, I won't have the face to continue working under Official Chu. Not killing this guy is already giving face to Sir Jiang. I must bring Wei Chen back today!"
The fire slave's attitude was surprisingly tough. At this moment, Wei Chen also knew that he was afraid. He stood behind Jiang Taoran and trembled, hoping that Jiang Taoran could help him stop the fire slave.
Jiang Taoran frowned and was about to say something when he heard the fire slave's cold voice, "Lord Jiang, you're an Inspector, so I'll give you face. If you don't come forward, I'll break his sword and behead him! Now, I will give you face, but I hope that Sir Jiang won't embarrass me. I am just a constable and naturally don't dare to challenge Sir Jiang. However, if I can't bring him back today, then when my master comes out of seclusion, I will report to Sir Jiang and have Sir Jiang discuss this personally! "
The fire slave's threatening tone immediately made Jiang Taoran's face turn red with anger. A constable from the Jianghu actually dared to speak to him like this?
However, Jiang Taoran was a person who could endure and adapt to circumstances. He could now see that the distance between him and Chu Xiu had been completely widened. There was no comparison at all.
Moreover, Chu Xiu's murderous nature made him a little afraid. Compared to offending the Wei Family, he was more afraid of offending Chu Xiu.
Therefore, after weighing the pros and cons, Jiang Taoran could only coldly snort and say, "When Official Chu comes out of seclusion, I will ask Official Chu if he knows that his subordinate is so powerful!"
After saying this, Jiang Taoran directly turned around and left, leaving behind a dumbfounded Wei Chen.
The fire slave still had a faint smile on his face. He wasn't afraid that Jiang Taoran would go to Chu Xiu and complain about him because the fire slave knew Chu Xiu's personality. This person was very protective of his people.
