The atmosphere in the Divine Force Sect was very strange.
On one side, people were happily presenting their gifts, while on the other side, Tang Ya was holding a pen and recording.
Gradually, everyone present felt that something was wrong.
What did Chu Xiu mean by this? Was he going to settle the score later?
Therefore, the sects who had originally planned to present their gifts to leave a good impression in front of Yan Huainan all stopped in their tracks. The scene suddenly became very strange.
The people who were about to congratulate Yan Huainan were all stunned. There was silence, and the scene was very awkward.
Yan Huainan looked at Chu Xiu and shouted angrily, "Chu Xiu! What do you mean?! "
Chu Xiu was surprised. "What did I do? Sect Master Yan, please continue. Don't worry about me. I'm just learning from you. The extravagance of the Divine Martial Sect is not bad. One day, my Zhenwu Hall will also hold a celebration of a hundred days or a thousand days. Then, I will ask everyone to come and see if my Zhenwu Hall's reputation is big enough for so many people to come and give gifts.
Looking at the people present, Chu Xiu smiled coldly and said, "Everyone, I remember all the gifts you have given me. You have given the Divine Force Sect such a big gift. If I receive less than the Divine Force Sect's gift, it means that you look down on me, Chu Xiu!"
As soon as he said this, the expressions of everyone present changed. Some of the people who had not had time to present their gifts were relieved. However, as soon as he said this, they were even more afraid to step forward.
Yan Huainan gripped the armrest of his chair tightly. The dragon chair, which was made of fine steel, had deep marks on it. It was obvious that he was suppressing his anger.
He did not want to fight with Chu Xiu. One of the reasons was that he did not have the confidence to defeat Chu Xiu.
After stepping into the martial arts master realm, Chu Xiu had killed Fang Datong, defeated Taoist Fuyun, and defeated Xu Xing, the first seat of the Dharma Hall of the Great Light Temple. His power was unparalleled.
Although Yan Huainan was also ranked on the Fengyun List, he was not confident that he could face Xu Xing. It was the same for him to face Chu Xiu, who had defeated Xu Xing.
Of course, this was only part of the reason. All martial artists had their own pride. Before they really fought, Yan Huainan only felt that he was not confident that he could defeat Chu Xiu. However, he did not think that he was inferior to Chu Xiu.
The real reason was that he was hesitating whether he should agree to Taoist Wuyang's request to join the Subduing Martial Hall. If he joined, then the conflict between him and Chu Xiu would become an internal conflict, and everything would be fine.
If he were to shed all pretenses of cordiality with Chu Xiu and attack him now, then there would be no room for reconciliation.
Yan Huainan was quite patient. Faced with Chu Xiu's attitude of deliberately stirring up trouble, he actually put up with it. In the end, he said coldly, "Serve the dishes!"
When Yan Huainan said that the dishes would be served, he meant it. It was a big dish that the Divine Force School had prepared for this celebration.
The people from other forces had generously sent their congratulatory gifts, so the Divine Force School could not be too stingy.
Therefore, Yan Huainan deliberately spent a lot of money to buy a fierce beast, Red Eagle, that had been killed by someone from the Southern Barbarian Land, as the main dish.
It was said that fierce beasts were quite common in ancient times. However, after the great calamity of ancient times, the fierce beasts left in Jianghu were very rare. Only in places like the Hundred Thousand Mountains of West Chu or the Southern Barbarian Land, which were rarely visited by people, would there be some. Most of them were alone. When they were discovered, they would immediately be attacked by groups of people, treating them as a moving treasure house.
However, that was indeed the case. Almost every part of these vicious beasts was a treasure. Even their flesh contained extremely strong Yuan Qi. Eating them would be of some help to one's cultivation. Although it was not too much, it was at least better than some low-level spirit herbs.
This kind of thing was very expensive, and ordinary small forces could not buy it even if they wanted to. This time, it was the Divine Force School's Millennium Celebration that they had prepared such a thing to keep up appearances.
Yan Huainan already hated Chu Xiu to the extreme. The sooner he finished the meal, the sooner he could get out of here. He did not want to see Chu Xiu again.
One after another, the maids walked to the crowd with exquisite dishes. After they put down the dishes and opened the lids, a strong fragrance instantly wafted over, which was very tempting.
The hands of the maid in front of Chu Xiu were trembling slightly. Yan Huainan looked at the maid with dissatisfaction, but he did not say anything.
These maids were just ordinary people. It would be fine if they were facing other people, but it was understandable that they were a little scared when facing a Great Devil like Chu Xiu, who had killed people like flies and was famous in Jianghu.
Chu Xiu looked at the Red Eagle's meat in front of him. It was as red as fire. He did not know whether it was because it was originally red or because it was cooked, but the fragrance was very tempting.
The others could not bear it any longer, and they started to eat.
When Chu Xiu picked up a piece of meat with his chopsticks and was about to eat it, a strange look flashed in his eyes.
However, he acted as if he did not notice it, and he directly threw the meat into his mouth.
Mei Qinglian, who was at the side, also wanted to pick up the meat, but Chu Xiu blocked her with his chopsticks.
Mei Qinglian raised her brows and said, "It's not a good habit to eat alone."
Chu Xiu shook his head and said, "This meat is not delicious."
Mei Qinglian looked at the fragrant Red Eagle's meat in front of her, and she wore a look that said, "Do you think I'm an idiot?"
"If it's not delicious, why are you enjoying it so much?"
However, Mei Qinglian reacted soon after. She frowned and put down her chopsticks.
When Chu Xiu had finished the Red Eagle's meat, a woman's voice suddenly rang out, filled with deep hatred. "Chu Xiu! You finally have this day! You killed my lover, and I've waited for many years for this opportunity. Brother Yue, can you see that I've finally avenged you today? "
Everyone present was stunned, and they looked outside. They did not know when a skinny woman with a twisted and hateful face was standing there, looking at Chu Xiu with a pleased expression.
Yan Huainan's expression suddenly changed, and he shouted angrily, "Nonsense! Go back! And what are you doing? Didn't I ask you to watch the Young Mistress? Who let her out? "
Hearing Yan Huainan's words, everyone present suddenly realized that this woman was Yan Tingting.
In the past, Yan Tingting would always appear in the Northern Yan Martial Arts World. However, ever since she brought people to kill Chu Xiu in Eastern Qi, she had been killed by Chu Xiu, and she had almost died at Chu Xiu's hands. Since then, she had never appeared in the Jianghu, so the warriors present did not recognize her.
Of course, the most important thing was that the current Yan Tingting was very different from the Yan Tingting of the past.
In the past, Yan Tingting had been a beauty, but now she was thin, and her cheekbones were protruding. Coupled with her hateful expression, she looked somewhat terrifying and twisted.
Yan Tingting said coldly, "Father, you don't have to worry about Chu Xiu's revenge. I've already put the Moon Worshipping Cult's Broken Intestines Gu in the Red Eagle's meat he ate! The Broken Intestines Gu will devour all of Chu Xiu's Qi and blood within two hours, and his intestines will rot and he will die! "
Hearing this, everyone's expression changed abruptly.
With the rise of the Moon Worshipping Cult, all kinds of news about the Moon Worshipping Cult had spread to the Jianghu, especially the Wind Sweeping Tower, where all the information about the Moon Worshipping Cult had been snatched up.
The Moon Worshipping Cult was good at many things. Not only were they good at demonic arts and secret techniques, but they were also famous for their poisonous insects.
The Broken Intestines Gu was one of the most famous poisonous insects in the Moon Worshipping Cult. Even a Martial Dao Grandmaster could not resist it, and they would be poisoned to death within two hours.
Of course, the Broken Intestines Gu also had a fatal weakness, and that was that it was extremely fragile. In the outside world, it was as fragile as an ordinary insect, and it had to enter the human body to take effect.
During this period of time, Chu Xiu had killed many people in the Northern Yan Martial Arts World. It could be said that he was extremely awe-inspiring, but in the end, he died in the hands of a woman.
Everyone looked at Chu Xiu with a hint of schadenfreude, and the way they looked at Yan Tingting was even more strange. When this woman went crazy, she did not care about anything.
She had poisoned Chu Xiu to kill him, but in reality, she had also destroyed the Divine Force Gate!
Yan Huainan pointed at Yan Tingting, and he was so angry that his hand was trembling.
Was Chu Xiu that easy to kill? Was he someone who could be killed so easily?
It was possible to kill Chu Xiu. If Yan Huainan had the ability, he could have killed Chu Xiu in the name of the Righteous Path in public, and then asked for help from the Righteous Path sects like the Great Light Temple. Yan Huainan would have immediately become the hero of the Northern Yan Martial Arts World, and he would have been protected by the Righteous Path.
But now? Chu Xiu had been killed by such a despicable method as poison. Usually, it was those shameless people of the Demonic Path who would do such a thing. Why would the people of the Righteous Path do such a thing?
Although the person who had poisoned Chu Xiu was not Yan Huainan, what was the difference between Yan Tingting and Yan Huainan?
Once such a thing happened, although there would definitely be people who would applaud the death of Chu Xiu, there would definitely be people who would despise Yan Huainan for his despicable methods.
Moreover, with Chu Xiu dead, the Yinmo Clan would definitely be enraged.
Chu Xiu was the most outstanding martial art practitioner of the younger generation of the Yinmo Clan, and he was even considered the successor of the Yinmo Clan. However, he had died in such a despicable method. If the Yinmo Clan did not avenge Chu Xiu, how could they show their face?
Moreover, Chu Xiu was now the Governor of the Zhenwu Clan, and he represented the imperial court.
In the end, he was killed by poison in public after coming to the Divine Force Gate. Did the Divine Force Gate still have any respect for the imperial court?
Yan Huainan was not the only one who could think of these consequences; everyone present could think of them as well.
Everyone could not help but look at Yan Huainan and Chu Xiu with a hint of sympathy.
Madmen were scary, but a madwoman was even scarier than a madman.
One should never underestimate a woman's hatred. When Yan Tingting went crazy, not only would she want Chu Xiu's life, but she would also want Yan Huainan's life!
However, at this moment, no one realized that Chu Xiu's expression was very calm. The same was true for Mei Qinglian, who was beside him. It was as if they did not know that he had been poisoned by the Intestine Severing Gu.
Looking at Yan Tingting, Chu Xiu shook his head and said, "What is love in the world? It makes people promise to live and die for it.
I did not expect that your love for that good-for-nothing of the Yue Clan would be so deep.
It was my fault that you were separated by life and death. I do not kill women easily. Fine, I will make an exception today and send you to see him! "
