Liu Jianhong clutched his throbbing chest and looked at Chu Xiu in despair.
He had just stepped into the Martial Dao Grandmaster Realm for a year and was full of ambition. He was planning how to turn Red Leaf Manor into a community of Eastern Qi so that his Red Leaf Manor could rise and become one of the major sects in the Pugilistic World.
In the end, who would have thought that all of this would be shattered today!
Liu Jianhong even resented his ancestor, whom he had never met, for participating in the annihilation of the Nine Heavens Demonic Dao Alliance.
With his strength and potential, even without the support of his ancestor, he could still cultivate to the Martial Dao Grandmaster Realm!
Seeing that Chu Xiu was walking towards him, Liu Jianhong's sword was already broken. However, he was a Martial Dao Grandmaster after all, so he still had the strength to fight.
As a martial artist, most people had some backbone. In the face of a desperate situation, those who would kneel and beg for mercy were the minority. Most people would still fight to the death.
Just as Liu Jianhong was prepared to fight to the death, Chu Xiu stopped in front of him and said calmly, "Hero Liu, you've worked hard for so many years to achieve your current strength and status. Don't you think it's a pity to die just like that?"
Liu Jianhong heard Chu Xiu's words. He struggled to stand up and said, "What do you want?"
If Lin Ye only wanted to kill him for revenge, there would be no need for him to say so much. He could just stab him again.
However, from what Lin Ye said, could there be a turning point in this matter?
Chu Xiu said, "I've already told Hero Liu what I'm thinking. Hero Liu, you have both reputation and strength. You can gather other forces that are about to be retaliated against by the Hidden Devil Clan and form an alliance to resist them together. "
Liu Jianhong's voice trembled slightly. "What exactly do you want?"
Lin Ye's idea was great, and it could even be said to be the best way to break out of this situation. However, why did he say it himself? Which side was he on?
Liu Jianhong had a guess, but he did not dare to say it out loud.
Chu Xiu lowered his head and stared at Liu Jianhong. He said in a low voice, "What? With Hero Liu's wisdom and methods, could it be that you still can't guess it? The factions of power who participated in the battle in Nine Heaven Mountain are scattered all over the world of martial artists. It'll take too much effort to search for them one by one, and it'll also waste too much time. Why don't we gather them all together? It'll be easier to kill them that way, don't you think? "
"Impossible!"
Liu Jianhong roared angrily, "Even if you kill me, I won't become a lackey of the demonic path and do such despicable and shameless things. You're setting me up for eternal damnation and making me, Liu Jianhong, despised by the entire Jianghu!"
Liu Jianhong could imagine how things would turn out if he agreed to Lin Ye's request.
He, a hero who had quite a reputation in Eastern Qi, would lose all his standing and reputation, and be cast aside by the entire Jianghu.
He had become a lackey of the Devil Path and helped the Yinmo Clan kill so many of his colleagues. From now on, even if he didn't die, there would be no place for him in Jianghu!
Liu Jianhong was greedy and utilitarian, but he still had a bottom line.
There were dozens of factions. Even if they only sent their elites over, there would still be more than a thousand people. By doing this, it was equivalent to helping Lin Ye kill more than a thousand people. He might not have killed so many people in his entire life.
Chu Xiu squinted his eyes and looked at Liu Jianhong. This "Hero Liu" was actually quite a failure as a person. He wasn't a real hero, but he wasn't a hypocrite either.
If Nie Renlong was in Nie Renlong's shoes, he would definitely choose the other person's death over his own.
However, it was obvious that Liu Jianhong still couldn't overcome the obstacle in his heart.
Chu Xiu looked at Liu Jianhong, shook his head, and sighed. "Manor Master Liu, you're still a little too stubborn. It's better to be selfish. What can you get by saving those people's lives? Do you think that you can gain a reputation for being a hero by sacrificing yourself? Stop dreaming, you won't be able to get anything! "
Chu Xiu shouted the last sentence. At the same time, the Great Technique of Destroying Heaven and Destroying Earth and Soul Transfer and the Rotation of Inner Demons were circulating silently. His subtle mental strength didn't forcibly control Liu Jianhong's thoughts, but instead created an atmosphere to guide Liu Jianhong's thoughts.
"This time, no one knows the reason why I attacked your Red Leaf Manor. If you don't agree and I kill you, others will only think that it's a sneak attack by the Devil Path. If you die, it'll be in vain. If you die, it'll be in vain.
There will even be people who rejoice in your misfortune and think that your Red Leaf Manor has finally fallen because of the benefits from 300 years ago.
Manor Master Liu, never underestimate the evil intentions of some people in the Jianghu. If you die and the Red Leaf Manor is destroyed, I dare say that there will be more people who will applaud than sympathize with your Red Leaf Manor! "
Chu Xiu's words hit the nail on the head. Liu Jianhong wasn't a newcomer in the Jianghu. Of course, he knew that the majority of people in the Jianghu weren't chivalrous people who helped those in need, nor were they demons who killed people like flies. Instead, they were hypocrites who appeared sanctimonious on the surface, but were secretly thieves and prostitutes, as well as those despicable people who couldn't bear to see others do well.
Chu Xiu whispered in Liu Jianhong's ear, "Manor Master Liu, is the Righteous Path and the Devil Path really that important? If you want to turn the Red Leaf Manor into a memorial hall, if you want fame, join the Devil Path. You will also have fame! Fame is earned through strength, not through scheming. "
Liu Jianhong glanced at Chu Xiu and whispered in a hoarse voice, "If you join the Devil Path, you won't gain fame, but notoriety!"
Chu Xiu waved his hand and snorted coldly, "Notoriety? As long as you're strong enough, regardless of whether you're a righteous or a devil, you'll gain fame! "
Chu Xiu pointed to the other side. Under the attack of Luo Sancong and the others, the rest of the Liu Clan had already been subdued. In front of more than two hundred elites of the Devil Path, they had no chance to fight back at all.
This was also because Chu Xiu had previously instructed Luo Sancong not to kill anyone. Otherwise, this group of people would have been slaughtered long ago.
"Manor Master Liu, take a good look. These are all members of the Liu Clan. The blood of the Liu Clan flows in their bodies.
Is that your younger brother? Manor Master Liu, you have a good younger brother. Although he isn't much younger than you, he has listened to you since he was young. He has never wanted to fight with you for the position of the Clan Master. Do you have the heart to let such a close relative die?
That young man is your son, right? Your son is quite talented. He has just reached the Inner Invulnerability State at the age of twenty. In time, with proper training, he might have the opportunity to be ranked on the Longhu List.
You want to carry forward the Red Leaf Villa. Isn't it for your son and your inheritance? Now that your son is dead, even if Manor Master Liu obtains the fame, who will you leave it to? "
Chu Xiu pointed to the group of Liu Clan members who looked terrified and said to Liu Jianhong in a low voice, "Manor Master Liu, you only have one chance. Think carefully before you speak. Do you want to work for me, for the Yinmo Clan?
Do you want others to bleed and others to cry, or do you want your own family to bleed and cry? The choice is in your hands.
Look at these people. They are all your close relatives. If you say no, I'll send you to reunite with them in hell.
Don't worry, I'll be very swift. Although some people like to smear the reputation of the Devil Path, saying that we are cruel and enjoy torturing people.
In fact, those who like to torture people are perverts, not people of the Devil Path.
Maple-Dancing Swordsman, haha. Manor Master Liu, you have sacrificed a lot for the word 'chivalrous'. But if you think about it carefully, it's not bad to change the word 'chivalrous' to 'devil', isn't it? "
Liu Jianhong's face revealed a twisted expression of struggle. His eyes were red and the crimson Gang Qi around his body started to become unstable. It even emitted some black and red colors. This was the sign that he had already become a devil!
Chu Xiu did not use the Greedy Blade, but his mental energy unknowingly dug out the deepest evil in Liu Jianhong's heart. This was an inner demon, a demon that belonged to Liu Jianhong himself.
After a while, the aura on Liu Jianhong's body stabilized. He looked at Chu Xiu with an indescribable expression in his crimson eyes. He asked in a hoarse voice, "Are you a demon?"
Chu Xiu shook his head and said, "I'm a demon, not a ghost. It's just that you have a guilty conscience. Manor Master Liu, you've already made your choice, haven't you?"
Liu Jianhong's face revealed a dejected expression. He looked at his family members. Seeing that they could not hear him, he then said to Chu Xiu in a low voice, "Have you given me a choice? There's no choice at all!
Alright, I promise you that I'll help you set up a trap to lure the others here. But I want to fake my death!
After this is done, pretend to kill me. From then on, there will be no Liu Jianhong in the pugilistic world. "
Chu Xiu raised his eyebrows and said, "Why do you have to do this? If you die, no one will scold you anymore? "
Liu Jianhong said expressionlessly, "If I die, they will only scold me for a while. They won't scold me forever. I just don't want my ancestors to be too embarrassed."
Chu Xiu raised his eyebrows and said, "A wise man submits to circumstances. Manor Master Liu's small request, of course, I will fulfill it. Of course, the prerequisite is that you put on a good show. If you mess it up, the consequences are something that no one wants to see."
Liu Jianhong said expressionlessly, "Don't worry. Now the lives of my entire family are in your hands. Do I still have a way out?"
Chu Xiu walked over and patted Liu Jianhong's shoulder. He said, "Manor Master Liu, you don't have to be so pessimistic. Even if the Red Leaf Manor moves to a secret place, it will still be the Red Leaf Manor. If you join the Yinmo Clan, there might be more ways out.
Actually, Manor Master Liu, you should feel lucky, because you have the right to choose.
Among all the forces on the list, although your Red Leaf Manor is not the strongest, your reputation is the greatest. That's why I've chosen you as my target.
Think about the others. From the moment you agreed, their fates were already decided. They don't even have a choice! "
