Lin Xinyu covered her face and looked at Chu Xiu with hatred in her eyes.
In fact, she didn't think too much just now. She just wanted to find someone to use as a shield.
As for whether the Zhang family would take revenge on Chu Xiu, she didn't care. After all, even she had to carefully reject Zhang Baichen. She didn't dare to shed all pretense of cordiality with Zhang Baichen.
But she didn't expect that Chu Xiu would slap her in front of everyone and expose her thoughts. This made Lin Xinyu so ashamed that she wanted to kill Chu Xiu on the spot.
At this moment, Zhang Baichen hurried over from behind and helped Lin Xinyu up. He scolded Chu Xiu, "You actually dared to raise a hand against Xinyu! You're simply courting death!"
Everyone was speechless. Even at this time, Zhang Baichen was still protecting Lin Xinyu. Should they say that he was infatuated or that he was simply stubborn?
Zhang Baichen wasn't joking. He directly waved his hand and a few servants of the Zhang family walked out from the crowd and rushed towards Chu Xiu.
Although Zhang Baichen was a bit stupid when it came to Lin Xinyu, he wasn't stupid in other areas.
The guy in front of him didn't seem to be easy to provoke. He was only at the Body Tempering Realm. Of course, he would just stand at the back and watch the show.
Among those servants, there was a middle-aged man in the Blood Condensation Realm. He was a guest of the Zhang family and was sent to protect Zhang Baichen.
The head of the Zhang family knew that his son wasn't reliable, so he could only send a reliable person to protect his son at all times.
The Blood Condensation Realm cultivator walked over and said, "Brat, I'm sorry. My young master wants you to stay, so I can't do anything about it. Obediently surrender and you'll suffer less!"
Chu Xiu sneered disdainfully and didn't even move.
When the Blood Condensation Realm cultivator saw Chu Xiu's attitude, a hint of anger appeared in his eyes.
His young master was indeed a bit overbearing in this matter. But if this brat was tactful, he wanted to put in a good word for him later.
But since this brat had such an attitude, he couldn't blame him for being ruthless!
Now that Chu Xiu's Xiantian strength was restrained, the cultivator subconsciously thought that Chu Xiu's strength was around the Body Tempering or Blood Condensation Realm at his age, so he didn't care too much. He directly stepped forward and punched Chu Xiu's Dantian. He was actually planning to cripple him first.
A cold light appeared in Chu Xiu's eyes. When the punch was about to hit him, Chu Xiu's hand twisted and the cultivator's arm was directly caught by Chu Xiu. His muscles, bones, and veins were instantly captured. He wanted to struggle but found that he was like prey in a spider's web. He had already been completely captured. No matter how he struggled, he couldn't escape from Chu Xiu's grasp!
The Great Sacrificial Grappling Hand!
Chu Xiu's hand flipped and pulled. A powerful force tore through the cultivator's arm. The cultivator immediately let out a mournful howl. His arm was twisted like a fried dough twist and was thrown to the side.
"Xiantian martial artist!"
The surrounding people looked at Chu Xiu with incomparable shock. To cripple a Blood Condensation Realm cultivator in one move, this young man was definitely a Xiantian martial artist.
Xiantian martial artists were not rare in Jianghu. But to be able to reach the Xiantian realm at such a young age, he was clearly not a simple person. There were very few independent cultivators, and most of them had a powerful background.
Zhang Baichen was also scared silly when he saw this scene. He pulled Lin Xinyu and turned to run, not even caring about the Zhang Clan's guest who was still wailing in pain on the ground.
Everyone present shook their heads when they saw this scene. This second young master of the Zhang Clan really wasn't much. He didn't have any sense of responsibility. In a time of crisis, he didn't care about his own people and only cared about a woman.
Fortunately, the Zhang Clan still had a big brother to support them. In the future, it would definitely not be his turn to control the clan.
The middle-aged cultivator from the Zhang Clan who had been gossiping with Chu Xiu came to Chu Xiu's side and said in a low voice, "Young master, it's true that you have the strength of a Xiantian martial artist, but the Zhang Clan is the local tyrant of Shanyang Province. You're just one person. There's no benefit in having a falling out with them. You should take this opportunity to leave."
Chu Xiu raised his eyebrows and said, "Many thanks for the reminder. But I still haven't finished my business here. How can I leave?"
At the mention of the Zhang Clan, Chu Xiu suddenly had an idea. He walked over and patted the Zhang Clan's guest who was still wailing on the ground. He said indifferently, "Alright, don't shout. It's just a broken arm. He won't die."
The Zhang Clan's guest revealed a smile that was uglier than crying. He said in a low voice, "Young master, I have eyes but failed to recognize Mount Tai. I hope that Young Master will let me go."
He was just a guest of the Zhang Clan, not a death warrior of the Zhang Clan. It was not worthwhile to offend a young Xiantian martial artist for the sake of the Zhang Clan. Therefore, he decisively surrendered.
"Do I look like a bloodthirsty person? Don't worry, I won't kill you. Take me to the Zhang Clan. "Chu Xiu said indifferently.
The cultivator was stunned. Wouldn't it be courting death to go to the Zhang Clan at this time? It was estimated that Zhang Baichen had already returned to the Zhang Clan to ask for reinforcements.
"Didn't you hear what I said?" Chu Xiu's face sank and said coldly.
The cultivator struggled to get up and said, "I will take you there now."
When the others saw that Chu Xiu actually followed the guest of the Zhang Clan to the Zhang Clan, a strange expression appeared on their faces. Even if he was courting death, he shouldn't do this, right?
The Zhang Clan's Clan Leader, Zhang Songling, was a Xiantian martial artist. He had been in the Xiantian Realm for more than ten years. Moreover, the Zhang Clan had more than a hundred collateral relatives and some servants who knew martial arts.
Even if this young man was strong, he was still too inexperienced to challenge the Zhang Clan, the local tyrant of the Shanyang Prefecture.
At this time, Zhang Baichen immediately rushed back to the Zhang Clan after sending Lin Xinyu back to the Lin Clan.
Seeing him like this, the Zhang Clan's Clan Leader, Zhang Songling, who was feeding the birds in the courtyard, frowned and said, "Why are you so flustered? You're already a grown man. I don't expect you to be as ambitious as your elder brother. When can you be more mature? "
As the Zhang Clan's Clan Leader, Zhang Songling lived a comfortable life.
The Zhang Clan was not the strongest among the factions in the Shanyang Prefecture, but it was not the weakest either. The key was that he had a good son.
Although Zhang Baichen was not up to expectations, his eldest son, Zhang Baitao, had entered the Ba Mountain Sword Sect, one of the seven sects and eight schools. This gave the Zhang Clan too much face. Every time the Shanyang Prefecture's families gathered, everyone would praise his eldest son.
Therefore, in the Zhang Clan, Zhang Songling could not be bothered to discipline Zhang Baichen. Anyway, this son of his was destined not to take over the position of Clan Leader in the future. It was fine if he was a little naughty, as long as he did not cause too much trouble.
Zhang Baichen said with a wronged expression, "Father, I want to be mature, but I was almost killed just now!"
Zhang Songling was shocked. "Who dared to attack you in the Shanyang Prefecture? Didn't I send Han Wei to protect you? Where is he? "
"That person is a Xiantian Realm martial artist. Han Wei was crippled in one move!"
Zhang Songling immediately frowned. "Xiantian Realm martial artist? An outsider? "
Zhang Baichen knew all the Xiantian Realm martial artists in the Shanyang Prefecture, so he did not dare to provoke them. Moreover, in the Shanyang Prefecture, the others would also give face to the Zhang Clan and would not make things difficult for Zhang Baichen.
"Yes, it is an outsider!"
Zhang Songling snorted. "Don't worry, an outsider, even if he has the strength of the Xiantian Realm, he can't behave atrociously in the Shanyang Prefecture!"
Zhang Songling did not even ask who was in the right and who was in the wrong. With the Zhang Clan's status in the Shanyang Prefecture, even if Zhang Baichen was in the wrong, could he still punish his own son and apologize to the other party?
At this moment, a voice suddenly came from outside the door. "Zhang Clan Leader is so powerful. It seems that in the Shanyang Prefecture, the Zhang Clan can cover the sky with one hand?"
Chu Xiu followed Han Wei into the courtyard. When Zhang Baichen saw Chu Xiu, he immediately took two steps back in panic. He pointed at Chu Xiu and said, "Father! It is him! He wanted to kill me just now! He even crippled Han Wei! "
Zhang Songling looked at Chu Xiu coldly. He was also a little surprised at Chu Xiu's young age, but he still said coldly, "How dare you! You dared to touch my Zhang Clan's people, and you still dare to come to my Zhang Clan. Do you really think that there is no one left in the Zhang Clan? "
Chu Xiu glanced at Han Wei and said, "It's just a broken arm, it's not like it can't be reattached. As for the matter between me and your son, Zhang Clan Leader can directly ask him later. I came here today to discuss a business deal with Zhang Clan Leader, a big business deal worth hundreds of thousands of taels of silver! If Zhang Clan Leader thinks that regaining your son's face is more important than a business deal worth hundreds of thousands of taels of silver, then forget what I said. "
Hearing Chu Xiu's words, Zhang Songling was suddenly shocked.
Although the Zhang Clan's scale in the Shanyang Prefecture was not small, it was only slightly stronger than the previous Chu Clan. For the Zhang Clan, hundreds of thousands of taels of silver was indeed a big business deal.
Zhang Songling looked deeply at Chu Xiu and said, "Let's talk inside."
