Among the warriors under Chu Xiu, Chu Xiu was most optimistic about two people. One was Tang Ya, and the other was Yan Bugui.
Although they weren't the strongest, they had the greatest potential.
At this time, Tang Ya was still in the half-step Unity of Heaven and Man realm, but the middle-aged Taoist who spoke previously had already stepped into the Unity of Heaven and Man realm.
However, when Tang Ya's saber was almost in front of him, he suddenly reacted. His body twisted like a snake, and the gray deathly aura condensed into the shape of an evil spirit in front of him. However, it was instantly torn apart by the sharp aura of the saber!
Relying on the deathly aura, the middle-aged Daoist managed to block the attack for a short moment. The middle-aged Daoist's body was almost twisted into the shape of a fried dough twist. Only then did he barely manage to dodge Tang Ya's attack. However, when he touched his face, he realized that his face had been torn by the sharp blade aura, and there was a bloody scar.
Chu Xiu looked at Tang Ya in surprise. He did not expect that Tang Ya had actually reached this step.
Tang Ya seemed to know a lot of things, such as Qinggong, close combat, sword techniques, saber techniques, etc., but he was most proficient in concealed weapons.
In the past, Tang Ya had asked Chu Xiu for some advice on concealed weapons, and he also wanted to learn Li Feilian's Way of Cause and Effect.
At that time, Chu Xiu only gave Tang Ya some advice, telling him that the Way of Cause and Effect was not taught, and also his future direction of martial arts.
However, Chu Xiu did not expect Tang Ya to improve so quickly. In just a few months, Tang Ya had turned the simple into the complicated, and turned the dense and complicated concealed weapons into this saber with extreme speed and power.
Taoist Wuyang slammed the table and shouted angrily, "Chu Xiu! What is the meaning of this? Does the Zhenwu Hall still have any rules? "
Chu Xiu knocked the table and said coldly, "If the Zhenwu Hall has rules, why did your disciple interrupt just now? Does he have the right to interrupt when you and I are talking? "
Previously in the royal palace, both Daoist Wuyang and Chu Xiu were restraining themselves. Both sides could still pretend to be polite.
Now that the conflict had erupted, neither side would give the other any face.
Chu Xiu said coldly, "Taoist Wuyang, I know who you are. If your Yin Mountain Sect wants to find trouble with my Hidden Devil Sect, then fine, I'll take it.
If you only want to obtain the status of the Orthodoxy, then I advise you to obediently cooperate with me.
If the Zhenwu Hall develops well, it will be beneficial for both of us. If it doesn't, I'll just go back to Guanzhong and mess around. As for your Shade Mountain Sect, you won't even have a place to stand.
The state religion of Eastern Qi is the Zhen Wu Sect. You should know what kind of impression the Yin Mountain Sect has in the eyes of the orthodox Taoist warriors.
As for West Chu's Moon Worshipping Religion, you can try and see if Moon Worshipping Religion can accept you!
His Majesty has already said, you and I, one inside and one outside. You do your thing, I do mine, and we won't interfere with each other.
If you insist on interfering with my affairs, I'd like to see who will be the unlucky one in the end! "
Chu Xiu could roughly guess why the Yin Mountain Sect had turned to the Northern Yan Imperial Court. It was nothing more than a place to stand.
The Hidden Devil Sect did not need such a place. Chu Xiu already had the Guanzhong Torture Room, so he did not need it either. If they really fell out, he would like to see who would lose more.
Daoist Wuyang looked at Chu Xiu with a hint of coldness, but then he snorted coldly and said, "Fine! We'll do as you say. You deal with the outside and I'll deal with the inside. If your people cross the line, then don't blame me for being impolite! "
After saying that, Daoist Wuyang turned around and left. He did not argue with Chu Xiu about the opening date.
After walking out of the main hall, the middle-aged Daoist who was almost severely injured by Tang Ya's blade just now said indignantly, "Master, that Chu Xiu is too arrogant and egotistical in the way he does things. We have been laying out our plans in Northern Yan for such a long time, but the moment he comes, he puts on an attitude of wanting to be the master of the house. Why …"
Before he could finish, Daoist Wuyang had already slapped him across the face.
"Who allowed you to speak without permission just now?" Daoist Wuyang looked coldly at the disciple.
The middle-aged Taoist covered his face and explained, "Master, I saw that Chu Xiu …"
"Pa!"
Another slap came, "Let me ask you, who allowed you to speak just now!"
This time, the middle-aged man did not dare to speak anymore. He only covered his face and lowered his head.
Daoist Wuyang said coldly, "How many times have I warned you? Since you've joined the imperial court, then you have to do things according to the rules of the imperial court. I originally wanted to deal with Chu Xiu, but with your interruption, both sides shed all pretenses of cordiality. What's there to talk about then? When will you all stop being so rash? "
The middle-aged Taoist covered his face and gritted his teeth, "Master, I know I was wrong. But this time, His Majesty is too unfair.
My Shadow Mountain Sect has sought refuge with His Majesty for many years. How many things have we done for His Majesty?
In the end, although His Majesty has agreed to establish the Zhenwu Hall and confer Shadow Mountain Sect as the national religion, he still brought Chu Xiu here. This clearly shows that he doesn't trust us! "
Daoist Wuyang said coldly, "Trust? If His Majesty could trust me so easily, he wouldn't be a hero of Northern Yan.
The Zhenwu Hall is such an important position. If he only let me manage it, even if my Shadow Mountain Sect has no other intentions, there will still be problems.
Chu Xiu has appeared at the right time. Even if there isn't Chu Xiu, there will be others. "
Chu Xiu thought that Xiang Long had sent Daoist Wuyang to keep him in check. Now, Daoist Wuyang thought that Xiang Long had done this to keep him in check.
Xiang Long's political tactics were incomparably experienced. At the very least, whether it was Chu Xiu or Daoist Wuyang, they could not truly cooperate intimately.
Mei Qinglian sat beside Chu Xiu and raised her eyebrows, saying, "These fellows from the Shadow Mountain Sect have changed their minds and left so quickly?
Chu Xiu said indifferently, "What else can they do if they don't leave? Falling out before the Zhenwu Hall has even been opened won't look good for either side. The only difference is that they will suffer more.
The Shadow Mountain Sect has disappeared for so many years. One can imagine that their days have not been easy. It wasn't easy for them to find a place like the Northern Yan. They won't give it up so easily.
Let's not care about them for now. Like I said, we will do our own things and they will do theirs. We won't interfere with each other. If anyone crosses the line, we will chop off the hand that reaches out! "
Without Daoist Wuyang's interference, Chu Xiu directly set the date for the Zhenwu Hall's opening to be three days later.
At the same time, he sent out invitations to the entire Northern Yan Martial World to attend the ceremony.
As soon as the invitations were sent out, the entire Northern Yan Martial World was in an uproar.
Chu Xiu had actually returned!
In the past, in the Northern Yan Alliance, the only true loss was the Memorial Village.
At that time, Chu Xiu only came to destroy the Northern Yan Alliance. He didn't have the strength to slaughter the entire Northern Yan Alliance.
Therefore, the forces that participated in the alliance at that time were not worried about what would happen to Chu Xiu. Even if Chu Xiu survived this disaster, he would definitely choose to keep a low profile and stabilize his current strength.
In the end, who would have thought that Xiang Long would recruit Chu Xiu as the Governor of the Zhenwu Hall? Just listen to the name, the Zhenwu Hall. Who was this aimed at?
In a mountain village at the junction of the Northern Yan Alliance and the Eastern and Western Regions, this was where the headquarters of the Giant Spirit Gang was located.
Fang Datong gripped the invitation that Chu Xiu had sent over with a frown.
Below him were some martial artists at the Unity of Heaven and Man realm. They were all the higher-ups of the Giant Spirit Gang.
At this time, an old man said bitterly, "What did I say? Our Giant Spirit Gang should not have been involved in those messy things. Now, Chu Xiu actually returned to the Northern Yan Alliance and even cooperated with the Northern Yan Imperial Court. If Chu Xiu comes to deal with our Giant Spirit Gang, what can we do? Now that the invitation has been sent, should we go or not? "
Fang Datong glanced at him coldly and said, "Feng Tianyi, are you blaming me? Am I not thinking about the Giant Spirit Gang? "
Feng Tianyi's strength was not weak. He had reached the half-step Unity of Heaven and Man realm. He was the Great Elder of the Giant Spirit Gang. His seniority was even higher than Fang Datong. Therefore, he often raised objections to some matters of the Giant Spirit Gang. Relying on his seniority, his words were somewhat disrespectful to Fang Datong as the gang leader.
Feng Tianyi snorted coldly and said, "I did not say that, but you are the gang leader. The future of tens of thousands of members of the Giant Spirit Gang is in your hands. It does not matter if you make a wrong decision, but it will cause the destruction of the century-old foundation of the Giant Spirit Gang!"
Seeing that the tension between the two sides was getting thicker and thicker, a middle-aged martial artist in brocade clothes with a square face immediately stood up to smooth things over and said, "The gang leader is also thinking about the Giant Spirit Gang. Who knew that the emperor would cooperate with Chu Xiu? He knew that he was a member of the Yinmo Clan, but he still let him take charge of the Zhenwu Hall.
Xiang Long's doing this is tantamount to asking a tiger for its skin. I think he is old and confused. A wise ruler is about to become a fatuous ruler.
And look at the name he came up with, Zhenwu Zhenwu, doesn't it mean to suppress our Northern Yan Wulin? Even if there is no Chu Xiu, there will probably be someone else in charge of the Zhenwu Hall. "
This middle-aged man was called Shen Feiying, the deputy gang leader of the Giant Spirit Gang. He was also Fang Datong's sworn brother and his number one confidant.
The main reason why Feng Tianyi was dissatisfied with Fang Datong was that he appointed people by favoritism.
He was the Great Elder and had a high seniority. He did not have any thoughts about the position of deputy gang leader, but he was dissatisfied with Fang Datong promoting his sworn brother to the position of deputy gang leader as soon as he came to power.
Feng Tianyi said with a cold face, "Well, well, well, well, what you said is reasonable. Then, the opening of the Zhenwu Hall, should we go or not?"
Fang Datong snorted coldly and said, "Go for what? Don't you understand what Chu Xiu means? He is here to establish his prestige!
To tell the whole Northern Yan Wulin that he, Chu Xiu, is back!
Don't worry, the Zhenwu Hall is against the whole Northern Yan Wulin. Once this Chu Xiu dares to make a big move, the other righteous sects of Northern Yan will not sit idly by. Don't worry about him. "
The Jianghu and the imperial court had always been the opposite of each other. People in the Jianghu had to consider the reactions of many parties when they killed each other, let alone the imperial court.
If the imperial court did such an outrageous thing without warning, it would definitely cause the hostility of the whole Jianghu, and the matter would be completely blown up.
