Fang Qi Shao stood in front of Bai Qian. Actually, he was also very conflicted.
He didn't have many friends, but Chu Xiu was one of them. Therefore, Fang Qi Shao really didn't want Chu Xiu to have a conflict with Swordking City.
If an ordinary small sect had a disciple like Fang Qi Shao, then they would definitely listen to Fang Qi Shao's orders. This small grudge could be completely forgotten.
But what kind of sect was Swordking City? It was one of the five great sword sects that had dominated the western desert for over a thousand years. It even had the strength to contend for the position of the leader of the five great sword sects. The sect had countless experts. For a sect like Swordking City, face was very important.
Swordking City could listen to Fang Qi Shao as much as possible in trivial matters. However, Fang Qi Shao's words weren't very useful when it came to matters related to Swordking City's face.
Swordking City had confined Fang Qi Shao because they were afraid that he would fall into a dilemma. However, they hadn't expected that Fang Qi Shao would still come.
Looking at Bai Qian, Fang Qi Shao shook his head and said, "Seat Chief, I won't talk about right and wrong. If you make a move against Brother Chu and he doesn't die, then he will definitely become a great enemy of Swordking City in the future.
I don't understand one thing. Is it worth it to make a great enemy for the sake of face?
You've seen Brother Chu's strength and potential. Whether it's a friend or an enemy, I dare say that his future achievements won't be any weaker than Zhang Chengzhen. "
Bai Qian said coldly, "So what? If you hadn't stopped him, Chu Xiu would have died a long time ago. How could he have a future? "
Fang Qi Shao smiled bitterly and said, "Brother Chu won't die. Seat Chief, please stop. Just give me face, alright?"
Others might not know about the Heaven's Son Gazing at Air, but Fang Qi Shao, who also cultivated the Karma Sword Dao, knew about it.
Even if he hadn't intercepted Bai Qian's sword earlier, Chu Xiu would still have been able to dodge it by relying on his strange Dao of Karma cultivation technique.
Fang Qi Shao had taken the initiative to intercept Bai Qian because he wanted to smooth things over. Now that he had helped Chu Xiu stop Bai Qian, this matter would be over, and Swordking City would have one less enemy in the future.
Although Fang Qi Shao was usually unruly, it didn't mean that he didn't understand the ways of the world.
However, it seemed like Bai Qian didn't see through his hidden meaning. He thought Bai Qian was protecting Chu Xiu. In fact, Fang Qi Shao was also protecting Swordking City!
After cultivating the Karma Sword Dao for such a long time, although Fang Qi Shao didn't know anything about divination, he had a vague understanding of karma. Or perhaps it could be said that it was a very strange feeling.
He could sense that if Swordking City really became mortal enemies with Chu Xiu, then the consequences for Swordking City wouldn't be good.
Bai Qian waved his hand and said coldly, "Seventh Young Master, I can let you do as you please. I didn't even punish you for stealing the sword embryo of the Xingjian Hall to drink.
However, this matter is related to the face of Swordking City, and it's not something you can interfere in.
Regardless of whether it's me or the other seniors of Swordking City, we didn't force you to fight Chu Xiu. We did it for the sake of your face and not to put you in a dilemma. But you shouldn't be unable to differentiate good from bad! "
Bai Qian's words were harsh enough. Over the years, the seniors of Swordking City had only reprimanded Fang Qi Shao because of his misbehavior. They had never said such harsh words.
Chu Xiu shook his head and said, "Brother Fang, please step aside. The sect is the sect, and you are you. I will naturally resolve my enmity with Swordking City. You don't need to interfere. Moreover, you've seen the situation. There are so many people who want to kill me, so Bai Qian won't make a difference. "
Honestly speaking, Chu Xiu was very touched that Fang Qi Shao was willing to go this far.
Most people in the Jianghu had many friends and brothers. But in fact, apart from independent cultivators, most people prioritized their sects or families.
Fang Qi Shao was sandwiched between him and the sect. It was already good enough that he didn't choose to stand on the sect's side and become enemies with him. Now that Fang Qi Shao was standing on Bai Qian's side, it was already benevolent of him.
Fang Qi Shao shook his head. He didn't say anything to Chu Xiu. Instead, he took a deep breath and said to Bai Qian, "Chief, since you want to restore Swordking City's face, then I'll do it. Brother Chu killed a young disciple of Swordking City. As a senior of Swordking City, if you join forces with others to attack Brother Chu, the people of the Jianghu will say that Swordking City is bullying the weak and doesn't follow the rules. "
After saying that, Fang Qi Shao glanced at Wang Shuangjun and the others and said, "Others might be shameless, but my Swordking City won't."
Wang Shuangjun revealed a trace of anger on his face. Even Chi Jian, who always had a smile on his face, gradually disappeared. However, he didn't dare to say anything.
Wang Shuangjun was just a rogue cultivator. Even if he was now the Crown Prince's subordinate, it didn't mean that he was a member of the Eastern Qi imperial court.
Chi Jian might be strong, but his Great Wisdom Temple couldn't compare to Swordking City. In fact, it couldn't even compare to one of the four major sword halls of Swordking City.
Even if Fang Qi Shao ridiculed them in front of their faces, they didn't dare to say anything. On the contrary, Shen Bai didn't care.
Since Shen Bai came out of seclusion and saw the hypocrisy of the world and the death of his Master, his mentality had changed a lot.
If it was the previous Shen Bai, he would definitely seek revenge on Chu Xiu after coming out of seclusion. He would fight one-on-one fairly and kill Chu Xiu to wash away the humiliation.
But now, Shen Bai only cared about the results and didn't care about the process. As long as he could kill Chu Xiu and help Azure Wave Sword Sect gain prestige, he didn't mind besieging Chu Xiu.
Bai Qian frowned and said, "What do you mean?"
Fang Qi Shao said in a solemn voice, "I'll go have a one-on-one battle with Brother Chu. Regardless of victory or defeat, this matter will be considered completely settled!"
Bai Qian frowned and said, "You want to go easy?"
Fang Qi Shao's expression was solemn as he said, "Seat Master, don't worry. I won't go easy on this kind of thing. If I have the slightest bit of mercy, can't Chief Master still not see it?"
Seeing Fang Qi Shao's appearance, Bai Qian could only nod and said, "Alright, as you wish then."
In fact, Bai Qian was still more willing to make a move directly and kill Chu Xiu.
It wasn't that he didn't care about the reputation of bullying the weak, but in this kind of situation, no one would treat Chu Xiu as a junior martial artist.
However, looking at Fang Qi Shao's current intentions, if Bai Qian insisted on making a move, Fang Qi Shao might cause some trouble. So, Bai Qian decided to just let him be.
Bai Qian had watched Fang Qi Shao grow up in Swordking City, so he knew what kind of character Fang Qi Shao had.
On the surface, Fang Qi Shao was always laughing and joking all day long. He didn't even have the dignity of a Eldest Senior Brother in Swordking City. However, once he became serious, he would be stubborn to the extreme, and even nine bulls couldn't pull him back.
Wang Shuangjun and the others frowned. Fang Qi Shao wanted to fight Chu Xiu? However, it didn't matter. Their goal was to kill Chu Xiu and destroy the Guanzhong Torture Room. If they couldn't kill Chu Xiu for the time being, then they could just kill someone else.
Therefore, Wang Shuangjun and the others subconsciously looked in the direction of Chu Wuji's group, ready to lend a hand.
But at this time, Fang Qi Shao suddenly said, "First Seat, help me stop them. If I say it's fair, then it must be fair. If they go to deal with someone else and cause Chu Xiu to be distracted, then wouldn't I become an accomplice? That's not fair. "
Bai Qian nodded indifferently.
Swordking City's position wasn't that firm. From the beginning, Swordking City didn't come here to kill Devil. It was purely to resolve personal grievances.
The fate of the Yinmo Clan and the existence of the Guanzhong Torture Room weren't Swordking City's concern.
Wang Shuangjun angrily said, "Isn't your Swordking City a bit too overbearing? You won't kill Chu Xiu, but you won't allow us to kill other Devil Dao villains?"
Bai Qian sneered and said, "Are you the first person to know that my Swordking City is overbearing? If you think you have the strength to challenge Swordking City, then fine, I'll accompany you. Just now, Chu Xiu fought one against three. I also want to see what it feels like to fight one against three! "
Wang Shuangjun and Chi Jian's faces turned red with anger.
As Swordking City's First Seat, Bai Qian naturally wasn't weak. But they weren't nobodies either, so they might be able to defeat him.
But the other side had used Swordking City to suppress them. That was a bit too shameless. Unfortunately, they didn't dare to challenge Swordking City.
Turning around, Fang Qi Shao looked at Chu Xiu and sighed. But then he smiled and said, "Brother Chu, you should know that I've wanted to fight you for a long time. After all, there are only a few people in Jianghu who have cultivated Karma Dao to our level.
I'm not familiar with Li Feilian. Moreover, his throwing knives are meant to take people's lives when they leave their sheaths.
But I'm too familiar with you, so I'm too embarrassed to fight him. But now I finally have the chance. "
Fang Qi Shao unsheathed his sword and looked at Chu Xiu with a solemn expression, "Brother Chu, I won't hold back this time."
Holding the Heavenly Demon Dance in his hand, Chu Xiu said in a deep voice, "Me too."
Everyone had a competitive heart. Chu Xiu and Fang Qi Shao were indeed friends, but that didn't mean that they didn't have such competitive hearts.
Friends like Mo Tianlin and Xie Xiaolou, whose strength was much lower than Chu Xiu's, were convinced by Chu Xiu. But Fang Qi Shao was different.
Fang Qi Shao was happy for Chu Xiu that he could reach his current strength, but at the same time, Fang Qi Shao didn't think that he was weaker than Chu Xiu.
Fang Qi Shao stabbed out with his sword. Although his sword seemed light, every time it vibrated, it seemed to conform to some kind of law between heaven and earth.
With a light tap of his sword, Chu Xiu instantly felt as though his surroundings had been locked down. Everything in the world was a sword. No matter which direction he attacked from, the force of the sword would rain down like a torrential storm.
After not seeing him for a long time, Fang Qi Shao's Sword Dao had taken another step forward!
