It wasn't hard to deal with a reckless warrior who only knew how to fight and kill, and it wasn't hard to deal with a guy who only knew how to plot in the dark. What was really difficult was to combine the two, and Nie Dongliu was like that now.
Chu Xiu knew that the Ghost Village was not to be trifled with. However, the enmity had already been formed, so it had to be resolved sooner or later.
At the foot of Floating Jade Mountain, almost everyone who was supposed to be there had arrived. The disciples of the Forgotten Sword Hut had already come out to maintain order, ready to wait for the World's Sword Sect Conference to officially begin. But at that moment, an even louder clamor came from the foot of the mountain. Clearly, the person who had come was even more famous than Nie Dongliu.
Chu Xiu turned around and saw that the people who had come were people from the Great Light Temple, Subodhi Monastery, and some other top sects.
These major sects were all invited by the Five Sword Sects to attend the ceremony. Top sects of the Jianghu of this level never lacked Martial Dao Grandmasters.
For example, in the Great Light Temple's Three Great Zen Halls and the Six Great Martial Academies, every First Seat had the strength of a Martial Dao Grandmaster.
The people from the Great Light Temple were the head of the Vajra Department, Xu Yan, and the head of the Kongzhi Zen Hall, Xu Du. The Martial Institution and the Zen Hall had each sent one person, which was enough to give face to the five major sword sects.
The First Seat of the Kongzhi Zen Hall, Xu Du, was a middle-aged monk who looked to be in his forties. Compared to the other monks of the Temple of Great Light, Xu Du appeared to be a little sloppy. He swayed as he walked, and without his monk robes, he looked like an old ruffian on the streets. He did not look like an accomplished monk at all.
However, among these people, his position was the highest. The other warriors of the Great Light Temple could only stand behind him. This made the few disciples of the Great Light Temple behind him cover their faces with their hands, looking embarrassed.
They really could not understand why the temple would send Uncle Master Xudu here. This was simply affecting the image of the Great Light Temple.
Xu Yan tugged at Xu Du's arm and whispered, "Senior Brother Xu Du, mind your image!"
Xu Du glanced at him and said indifferently, "Image? I'm not Senior Brother Abbot. What image do I need? Back then, my master gave me the Dharma name of Xu Du. I have not wasted my time, and I have not let him down.
What's more, the Buddha has said, 'Everything is like a dream, an illusion, a bubble, and a shadow, like dew, or like lightning.
I have Buddha in my heart, so who can say that I have tarnished the reputation of the Buddhist Sect? A Buddha with a gold-plated body and a dignified appearance is a Buddha, but a clay and wooden body that protects the poor people is not a Buddha?
Junior Brother, you are too obsessed with appearances. It is not a good thing to be too attached to these appearances. Buddha is in your heart, not on your kasaya. "
Xu Yan was rendered speechless by Xu Du's words, and he rolled his eyes.
The Six Great Martial Institutions cultivated martial arts, while the Three Great Zen Halls cultivated both Zen and Martial arts. In terms of understanding of various Buddhist scriptures, they were far inferior to the Three Great Zen Halls in terms of eloquence.
Although Xu Yan knew that these were all excuses and sophistry, when he heard it, it seemed to make sense. He looked at the Buddhist disciples behind him and saw that they were all admiring Uncle-Master Xu Du, who was indeed an eminent monk of his generation.
Seeing this, Xu Yan was instantly helpless. He was deeply worried about the future of the Great Light Temple.
At this moment, Huizhen, who was behind him, suddenly stiffened and paused.
"Huizhen, what's wrong?" Xu Yan asked.
Because of Ming Chen's death, Huizhen, who was not young to begin with, had recently aged even more. Therefore, Xu Yan had brought Huizhen to the World Sword Sect Conference as a way to relax.
Following Huizhen's gaze, Xu Yan also saw Chu Xiu. This made him frown. He did not expect Chu Xiu to be here.
After all, the World Sword Sect Conference was a grand event of the entire Pugilistic World. It was a rather serious one. Therefore, the people who could represent their respective factions were definitely the mainstays of their respective factions.
Although Chu Xiu's battle prowess was comparable to the Unity of Heaven and Man Realm, in reality, he was still at the Five Qis Origin Realm. His experience in the Guanzhong Torture Room was far from that of the other disciplinary officers and the head of the Arrest Department. Therefore, Xu Yan would never have expected Chu Xiu to be here.
Xu Yan looked at Huizhen worriedly. Just as he was about to say something, he saw Huizhen turn his head indifferently and wave his hand. "Uncle-Master, I'm fine. Let's go."
Huizhen knew that it was difficult for Xu Yan. He did not want to put this Uncle-Master, who had always treated him well, in a difficult position.
However, some monks from the Vajra Yard were furious. "Chu Xiu killed our Senior Brother Ming Chen and Uncle-Master Huizhen. Are we just going to let this matter go?"
The monks from the Vajra Yard cultivated together. These monks were not Huizhen's disciples, but they were similarly furious over Ming Chen's death.
Some of the grudges in the Jianghu were actually unreasonable. Even the Great Light Temple could not stand on the side of reason.
In any case, in the eyes of these warriors, Ming Chen was their Senior Brother. Although he was hot-tempered and easily angered to outsiders, he took good care of them internally. He was cold on the outside but warm on the inside.
Now that Ming Chen had been killed, they did not care whether Ming Chen had sought trouble with Chu Xiu first or not. As long as they knew that Ming Chen had died at the hands of Chu Xiu, that was enough.
Huizhen stopped these people and waved his hand. He said in a low voice, "Don't be rash! I also want to take revenge for Ming Chen, but revenge depends on the time and place. What you are doing now is ruining the reputation of the Great Light Temple. You must consider the bigger picture! "
Among the warriors present, Huizhen, who had lost his disciple, was the calmest. Although the others were somewhat indignant, as Ming Chen's master, Huizhen, had already said that this matter would be over for now. What else could they say? They could only suppress the anger in their hearts and pretend that they did not see Chu Xiu.
When Xudu, who was walking at the front, saw this scene, he could not help but shake his head. He said, "Revenge breeds revenge. When will there be an end to it? Grudges cannot be suppressed. The more you suppress it, the more it will rebound. At that time, it will probably cause even more unexpected consequences. If we want to completely end this grudge, we must completely kill the other party.
"Senior Brother Xuyun made a mistake this time. For the sake of a favor, he did not let the Great Light Temple take action. However, this deepened the grudge. No one can say for sure how it will develop.
Xu Yan frowned and said, "Since you know, why didn't you tell Senior Brother Xuyun?"
Xudu looked at Xu Yan like he was looking at an idiot. "Based on Senior Brother Xuyun's personality, once he has set his mind on something, even if the Abbot speaks, it will not be easy for him to change his mind, much less something like this. I don't want to deal with Senior Brother Xuyun, so if something like this happens again in the future and you want to speak, I'll remind you to do it yourself. "
Xu Yan was instantly speechless. Actually, Xu Yan did not even think about dealing with Senior Brother Xuyun. Otherwise, he would not have agreed to Xuyun's request so easily back then.
Xuyun's position in the Great Light Temple was very special. It could be said that he was second only to the Abbot. He was even an existence that could faintly rival the Abbot, Xu Ci.
Furthermore, Xuyun's personality was a little polarizing. On the outside, he was the Great Light Temple's Wangnian Zen Hall's First Seat. He had a profound cultivation in the Buddhist dharma, and he was an eminent monk with a peaceful personality. However, on the other hand, almost only the people of the Great Light Temple knew about him. He could be said to be paranoid and terrifying. Sometimes, even if the martial artists of the Great Light Temple had to deal with the Abbot, they would not want to deal with Xuyun.
After the people of the Great Light Temple took their seats, they looked forward. Not a single one of them looked at Chu Xiu, even though Chu Xiu was their Great Light Temple's enemy.
This was also a habit formed by the precepts of the Great Light Temple. Every move was strictly executed. It was very strict.
Xie Xiaolou saw the actions of the people from the Great Light Temple and said with slight surprise, "Did the Guanzhong torture room help you settle the matter of you killing Ming Chen?"
Chu Xiu nodded and said, "Although the Guanzhong torture room does not have a long history, it still has some foundation. I only killed Ming Chen from the Jingang Department, not the most outstanding disciple of the Great Light Temple, 'Wisdom King' Zong Xuan. The Guanzhong torture room can still suppress it. Oh right, did 'Wisdom King' Zong Xuan not come to the World Sword Sect Conference this time? "
Xie Xiaolou shook his head and said, "I heard that 'Wisdom King' Zong Xuan had already stepped into the Unity of Heaven and Man realm a few years ago. You can't kill him even if you wanted to.
This World Sword Sect Conference is mainly prepared for sword cultivators. If 'Wisdom King' Zong Xuan comes, will he go?
As a hero ranked in the top ten of the Dragon and Tiger List, if Zong Xuan doesn't go, he will be ridiculed as a coward. But if he goes, he will have the intention of provoking the major sword sects.
So this time, Zong Xuan didn't come at all. 'Little Celestial Master' Zhang Chengzhen also didn't come. The top five of the Dragon and Tiger List is only 'Chief Sword' Fang Qi Shao. Oh right, Yue Nu Palace's Yan Feiyan is also here. The final winner of this World Sword Sect Conference will most likely be Fang Qi Shao. As for the others, they will more or less get some benefits. But among the younger generation of martial artists, when it comes to sword cultivation, no one can beat Fang Qi Shao. "
Just as Xie Xiaolou was discussing Fang Qi Shao, the World Sword Sect Conference was about to begin. Everyone had already taken their seats, but at this time, a youth walked out from Sword King City's side and walked straight towards Chu Xiu.
The youth was dressed in white warrior clothes, but he didn't wear the Sword King City's white headscarf. His appearance couldn't be considered too handsome, but he gave people a very natural and comfortable feeling.
A simple and unadorned sword with a black hilt was wrapped in sackcloth and hung loosely on his back. It didn't match the temperament of an ordinary martial artist from Sword King City.
This young man seemed ordinary, and did not attract as much attention as Nie Dongliu. However, when he moved, everyone present could not help but look at him, as if there was some mysterious attraction on this young man's body that attracted everyone's attention.
Xie Xiaolou was surprised and said, "Chief Sword's Fang Qi Shao! You also have a grudge with Fang Qi Shao? "
Chu Xiu looked at the approaching Fang Qi Shao and said with an unchanging expression, "I don't have a grudge with Fang Qi Shao, but I don't have a good relationship with Sword King City."
At this time, Fang Qi Shao had already walked in front of Chu Xiu and grinned at Chu Xiu. He had a gentle temperament.
"My name is Young Master Fang, not Young Master Fang. You should have heard of me."
Chu Xiu also had an indifferent expression as he said, "Chu Xiu, the Xiu that says everything is over. Since you've come to find me, you should naturally know of me."
