The Southwest Iron Sword Clan was located in the Southwest Cangyang Prefecture and could be considered as one of the largest sects in the Southwest.
The Cangyang Prefecture was one of the few large prefectures in the Southwest. The fact that the Iron Sword Clan could establish a sect in the Cangyang Prefecture was enough to prove their strength.
It had to be known that it was extremely difficult for a desolate place like the southwest to produce a martial dao grandmaster. For Iron Sword Sect to have an expert like Zheng Tiantu, who had already stepped into the half-step martial dao grandmaster realm, was already very impressive.
Moreover, even if there was a Martial Dao Grandmaster in the Southwest, most of them would not be able to stay. Those Martial Dao Grandmasters would either choose to wander in the Central Plains or move their sects to the Central Plains. They would not continue to stay in a remote and desolate place like the Southwest.
Zheng Tiantu already had this idea. He was in the prime of his life and it was possible for him to step into the realm of Martial Dao Grandmaster in the future. Therefore, Zheng Tiantu chose to accept the Crown Prince's invitation to prepare for the future.
If he could really step into the realm of Martial Dao Grandmaster in the future, he would prepare to move the Iron Sword Clan to the Central Plains.
However, he had no foundation in the Central Plains and was unfamiliar with the place. If he had the help of the Crown Prince, Lv Longji, it would be much simpler.
The Southwest was still too small. Only the Central Plains was his goal!
At this time, in the Iron Sword Clan, Zheng Tiantu was wiping a seemingly ordinary broad-bladed iron sword.
Zheng Tiantu was in his sixties this year. For someone of his realm, he was still in the prime of his life. In the past, he relied on this iron sword to lay the foundation of the Iron Sword Clan. This ordinary iron sword was also continuously added with good materials and asked some Master Refiners to reforge it. Finally, an ordinary weapon was transformed into a Precious Weapon.
However, the only thing Zheng Tiantu was worried about now was his son.
Zheng Chengyong's talent was not particularly good. Additionally, Zheng Tiantu had devoted himself wholeheartedly to the foundation of Iron Sword Sect during Zheng Chengyong's youth. Thus, Zheng Tiantu neglected Zheng Chengyong's education, causing Zheng Chengyong to have many bad habits.
Now that he was like this, how could Zheng Tiantu rest assured to pass the Iron Sword Clan to him in the future? Therefore, this time, Zheng Tiantu sent Zheng Chengyong to Great Liang City, not only to see the sincerity of the Crown Prince, but also to let Zheng Chengyong get familiar with the Crown Prince, so that he could have a backer in the future.
At this moment, someone outside reported that Zheng Chengyong had returned. Zheng Tiantu immediately asked someone to bring Zheng Chengyong in. With a smile on his face, he asked, "How's the scenery in Great Liang City? How does His Highness feel about you? "
Zheng Chengyong put on a long face and said dejectedly, "Father, I've caused a huge disaster!"
Zheng Tiantu's expression suddenly changed, and he quickly said, "What's going on? What did you do? "
After Zheng Chengyong told Zheng Tiantu what had happened, Zheng Tiantu's face was as black as ink. He directly slapped Zheng Chengyong's face and scolded, "You're a useless thing!"
From childhood to adulthood, Zheng Tiantu spoiled Zheng Chengyong very much. He rarely hit him, but this time, Zheng Tiantu really couldn't help it.
This idiot was obviously schemed against, causing their Iron Sword Sect to be dragged into the struggle between the Crown Prince and the Second Prince.
Moreover, flies don't bite seamless eggs. Now that Zheng Chengyong had fallen into this situation, it was completely his own fault.
Zheng Tiantu asked him to go to Great Liang City to see the sincerity of the Crown Prince, and also to build a relationship with the Crown Prince. But in the end, he was actually eating, drinking, and sleeping with women in Great Liang City all day long!
Zheng Chengyong didn't dare to refute after being slapped. He just covered his face and said pitifully, "Father, what should we do now? This matter has not been leaked yet. If the Crown Prince knows about it, we'll be finished! "
Zheng Tiantu thought for a moment, and he said in a deep voice, "The person who schemed against you said that he was the Second Prince's man?"
Zheng Chengyong nodded again and again.
Zheng Tiantu coldly snorted, "Now we don't know whether that person is the Second Prince's man or someone else. He just wants to provoke the relationship between the Second Prince and the Crown Prince. But there is still room for redemption. People say that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is broad-minded. If we tell the truth, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince should not blame us for this matter. He also knows that you are also a victim. "
Zheng Chengyong cautiously said, "But Father, if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is not broad-minded in this matter, what should we do?"
Although Zheng Chengyong was an idiot waste, he also knew the truth of judging others by oneself.
In any case, if someone dared to make him a cuckold, he would certainly want to tear that person's body into pieces. At that time, why would he care about whether that person was broad-minded or not?
Zheng Tiantu sneered, "Those who can achieve great things should be able to endure things that ordinary people can't. Do you think His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is like you?
Moreover, in other words, if the Crown Prince really blames our Iron Sword Sect for this matter, then it proves that I was wrong about him. The Crown Prince is a narrow-minded person who disregards the overall situation for the sake of a woman.
Such a person is not worthy of our Iron Sword Sect to rely on. At that time, we can just look for the Second Prince to rely on. "
However, at this moment, a voice came from outside the door.
"Tsk, tsk. Sect Master Zheng is indeed worthy of being called a veteran. You have thought things through clearly and are also very shrewd. Playing both sides, you won't suffer a loss. Unfortunately, Sect Master Zheng, you are a bit too shrewd. You don't know that when it comes to choosing sides, you can't stand on both sides. "
Chu Xiu pushed open the door and openly appeared in the room.
The moment Zheng Chengyong saw Chu Xiu, his face suddenly revealed a trace of horror. He quickly shouted, "It's him! It's him! "
Zheng Tiantu's complexion slightly changed. Astral energy erupted from his body and he suddenly grasped the iron sword in his hand.
However, at this moment, Chu Xiu suddenly took a step forward. This step was right beside the spot where Zheng Tiantu's Qi was about to erupt. If not for Chu Xiu's step, Zheng Tiantu's sword would have already been unsheathed and slashed at that spot!
Zheng Tiantu's eyebrows furrowed. The moment the sword in his hand made a slight movement, he felt a strange Qi enveloping him. It was as though no matter what he did, he would fall into the opponent's control!
Within the narrow space of the room, the power of Chu Xiu's Heaven's Son Gazing at Air Technique was displayed to its limit. Even Zheng Tiantu, an expert who had already reached the half-step Grandmaster realm, was forced by Chu Xiu to the point where he did not dare to take action without permission.
Zheng Tiantu exhaled deeply and said in a cold voice, "Just who are you?"
The person in front of him was so young and had such strength. He broke into the Iron Sword Sect alone, and there was not even a trace of abnormality among his own disciples. Zheng Tiantu believed that this person was definitely not a nobody.
Chu Xiu faintly said, "My name is Chu Xiu. Sect Leader Zheng should have heard of my name. However, this is no longer important. Right now, I am only here on behalf of the Second Prince."
Hearing the two words Chu Xiu, Zheng Tiantu's eyes suddenly revealed a trace of seriousness.
Unlike other Jianghu elders who did not care about the younger generation, Zheng Tiantu believed that he was still in the prime of his life. Even though he was in the wilderness of the southwest, he was still very concerned about some of the news of the younger generation in Jianghu.
There was no doubt that Chu Xiu had risen the fastest among the younger generation in Jianghu in the past few years. Although Chu Xiu was currently only at the Five Qis Collecting in the Origin Realm, the number of warriors at the Oneness of Heaven and Man realm who had died in his hands was not just one or two.
At the very least, with the miraculous state of Chu Xiu just now, Zheng Tiantu actually did not dare to act rashly. Zheng Tiantu had already regarded Chu Xiu as an opponent of the same realm.
Letting out a long breath, Zheng Tiantu said coldly, "What is the Second Prince trying to do? My Iron Sword Sect has not yet officially joined the Crown Prince's banner. You have already used these crafty plots to frame me. Are you trying to push me to the Crown Prince's side? "
Chu Xiu sneered and said, "Sect Leader Zheng, I have already appeared here. Is it interesting for you to still talk about these insincere things?
A straightforward person will not resort to insinuations. I already know the choice your Iron Sword Sect has made. Just now, you were still hesitating. Do you think I will believe what you said?
At present, your precious son has touched the Crown Prince's woman. Even if the Crown Prince is truly magnanimous and forgives you, in the future, when he looks at your Iron Sword Sect, especially when he looks at your son, won't he feel uncomfortable?
I believe that except for some people with special hobbies, being cuckolded is something that no man can endure.
Besides, even if the Crown Prince really tolerates it, it is useless. Right now, only a few people know about this matter. If your Iron Sword Sect wishes to join the Crown Prince, then I will spread this news. When that happens, you know the consequences. "
Zheng Tiantu looked at Chu Xiu, a thick killing intent appeared in his eyes. He spat out the words through gritted teeth, "You are truly ruthless!"
If this news were to spread, Chu Xiu would be forcing the Crown Prince to kill them!
It was not a glorious thing to be cuckolded. Even if the Crown Prince temporarily tolerated it for the sake of the overall situation, if this matter was spread out with great fanfare, the Crown Prince would kill them even if it was for his own reputation.
Chu Xiu raised his eyebrows and said, "Sect Leader Zheng, forgive me for speaking bluntly. You chose to join the Crown Prince because you want to find a way out for Iron Sword Sect and find a future for yourself.
If that is all you seek, then there is not much difference between the Crown Prince and the Second Prince. The Crown Prince only has a righteous title.
However, Sect Master Zheng thought about it carefully. Even if the Crown Prince was in the name of righteousness and the title of Crown Prince, the Second Prince was still able to share the limelight with the Crown Prince. From this point, the gap between the two could be seen. Would there really be a future for him to rely on such a person?
Right now, the choice is in your hands. To join the Crown Prince or to join the Second Prince. Sect Leader Zheng, you can decide for yourself. "
Zheng Tiantu narrowed his eyes and said, "Actually, I have a third choice."
"What choice?"
"To kill you!" Zheng Tiantu clenched the iron sword in his hand and a strand of killing intent blossomed out from his body.
As for Chu Xiu, there was a smile on his face. He said indifferently, "There are many who want to kill me in Jiang Hu. Unfortunately, most of them failed and died instead. Sect Leader Zheng, do you want to give it a try?"
