In the dim hall, Xiang Long looked angrily at Daoist Wuyang and Chu Xiu below.
"I handed the Martial Suppression Hall to you, and this is how you repay me?
Killing each other? The others haven't done anything yet, but you're already fighting each other, making a joke out of yourselves.
One of you is a sect master, and the other is the successor of the Yinmo Clan. Both of you are martial arts masters. Don't you have any sense of the bigger picture? "
Following Xiang Long's angry shout, Daoist Wuyang explained, "Your Majesty, please understand. This humble Daoist has been quietly instigating Yan Huainan to rebel against us. In the end, just as I was about to succeed, this Chu Xiu suddenly intervened and caused the matter to fail. This Chu Xiu is clearly using his position to take revenge!"
Chu Xiu said indifferently, "I'm using my position to take revenge? What a joke!
You and I are both from the Martial Suppression Hall, but when did you tell me about your actions against Yan Huainan?
Yan Huainan was one of the participants when the Northern Yan formed the Demon Slaying Alliance. Why? Is it wrong for me to find trouble with him now? "
Daoist Wuyang snorted coldly and said, "Then why did you still try to kill Yan Huainan after I showed up?!"
Chu Xiu did not budge an inch. "What a joke! Yan Huainan wanted to kill me! He wanted to kill me, so I killed him. What's wrong with that? "
"The one who killed you is Yan Huainan's daughter, not Yan Huainan!"
"Alright then. I'll send someone to poison Daoist Wuyang with the Gut Severing Parasite and then kill that person to give you an explanation. Then, this matter will have nothing to do with me, right?"
"You're twisting words and forcing logic!"
As Chu Xiu and Daoist Wuyang argued, their anger grew. If it weren't for the fact that they were in the imperial palace, they would have easily picked up their weapons and fought each other.
"Shut up, both of you!"
Xiang Long shouted angrily and said, "Alright, let's forget about this matter for now. Both of you take a step back and don't look for trouble with each other. If I find out that the two of you are doing this again, I will definitely punish you severely!"
With that, Xiang Long waved his sleeves and chased both of them out.
After Chu Xiu and Daoist Wuyang left, the fury on Xiang Long's face suddenly disappeared. The speed at which his expression changed was unimaginable.
An old eunuch hidden in the shadows stood behind Xiang Long and said in a low, hoarse voice, "Did His Majesty let them go so easily? The people of the pugilistic world are the people of the pugilistic world. They have no rules, and their wild nature is hard to tame! "
Xiang Long waved his hand and said, "No matter. The matters of the pugilistic world should be settled by the people of the pugilistic world. Otherwise, why would We invite Taoist Wuyang and Chu Xiu here?
I don't care about the process, I only care about the results. No matter how fiercely they fight, as long as they don't threaten the interests of the Northern Yan, it's fine.
Eunuch Han, have there been any changes in the pugilistic world since the establishment of the Zhenwu Hall? "
Eunuch Han thought about it and said, "The changes are quite big. At present, the Great Light Temple and other top Northern Yan sects have been attracted to West Chu. With Chu Xiu taking control of the Giant Spirit Gang and annexing more than ten Northern Yan pugilistic world forces, the other pugilistic world forces are all in danger and don't dare to be too insolent."
Xiang Long waved his hand and said, "Isn't that enough? Who cares if they fight to the death? As long as they can subdue the Northern Yan pugilistic world, that's enough. The Shenwu Gate is a big Northern Yan sect and usually doesn't accept the imperial rule. Whether Yan Huainan dies or submits, it's beneficial to the imperial court of the Northern Yan. If that's the case, why should we care so much? "
Eunuch Han lowered his head and didn't say much.
His Majesty's thoughts were not something he could casually guess. In short, if His Majesty thinks it's good, then it must be good.
After leaving the palace, Chu Xiu and Taoist Wuyang both turned around and left on bad terms.
Although Xiang Long didn't punish anyone in the end, the one who suffered the most was Taoist Wuyang.
From the moment Chu Xiu started to attack the Giant Spirit Gang, Taoist Wuyang had already used the item left behind by the Shenwu Gate's ancestor to instigate Yan Huainan to defect.
He was just one step away from success, but in the end, Chu Xiu ruined it. This was quite unbearable.
After returning to the Zhenwu Hall, Chu Xiu sorted out the recent affairs of the Zhenwu Hall in detail. There was nothing special that needed to be dealt with.
The Great Light Temple's attention was no longer on the Northern Yan side. Other sects like the Huangfu clan and the Northern Fluttering Snow City were also playing it safe and didn't come looking for trouble.
Therefore, Chu Xiu was also preparing to head to Wei Prefecture.
Chu Xiu didn't bring too many people with him during his trip to Wei Prefecture. He only brought along Tang Ya and a dozen of his trusted subordinates with decent strength. As for Mei Qinglian, she stayed behind in the Zhenwu Hall.
Mei Qinglian wasn't interested in things like sword arts. She just instructed Chu Xiu to not forget to give her a share if he obtained any good stuff.
In Wei Prefecture's Tongzhou Prefecture, Chu Xiu was walking on the streets of the Tongzhou Prefecture with a rather complicated mood.
This was the place where he started his career and also the place where he had to conceal many secrets.
For example, his cheap father's identity as a Dragon Rider Imperial Guard. Even if it was found out, he didn't have to worry.
With Chu Xiu's current status and identity, he didn't have to be afraid of what the Eastern Qi Imperial Court would do. Moreover, he had a good relationship with the second prince of Eastern Qi.
According to Chu Xiu's information before he arrived, Azure Water Sword Sect had been completely destroyed.
Liu Gongyuan was dead, Shen Bai was dead, and Dou Guangchen led a group of Azure Water Sword Sect elites to die in the hands of Chu Xiu in the Xiaofan Heaven. The entire Azure Water Sword Sect was completely ruined.
It could be said that the entire Azure Water Sword Sect's downfall was definitely related to Chu Xiu. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that he single-handedly destroyed Azure Water Sword Sect.
Now that Azure Water Sword Sect was one of the seven sects and eight factions that were eliminated, it was rather simple for Chu Xiu to visit and interrogate them.
But when Chu Xiu brought his men to the Azure Water Sword Sect's mountain gate, he felt something was amiss.
There were too many people at the foot of Azure Water Sword Sect's mountain. A dense crowd of martial artists were gathered here. From the looks of it, there were not only Northern Yan martial artists, but also Eastern Qi martial artists.
Seeing this scene, Chu Xiu immediately frowned, 'What happened to Azure Water Sword Sect, why did so many people come?'
But when the others saw Chu Xiu coming, they were even more surprised than Chu Xiu.
"It's Chu Xiu! He actually came here too! "
"That's not surprising. After all, Chu Xiu was the one who killed Azure Water Sword Sect's Shen Bai. It's normal for him to discover something."
"I heard that Chu Xiu ran amok in the Northern Yan land and killed so many people that blood flowed like a river. Is there any brother from the Northern Yan land who can tell us about the situation?"
Amidst the crowd's discussion, Chu Xiu walked straight to the Azure Water Sword Sect's mountain gate. When he reached the peak, he realized there were even more martial artists here, and they were all from the major sects. Most of them were from the sword sects, with the five major sword sects as the leaders. Chu Xiu could recognize quite a few of them.
Among them were Concealed Sword Villa's' Edgeless Sword 'Cheng Tingfeng, Forgetting Sword Hut's' Vacant Sword 'Han Tingyi.
One of them was dressed like a martial artist from Storm Sword Tomb, but Chu Xiu didn't recognize him.
Seeing Chu Xiu's arrival, the crowd looked at Chu Xiu and frowned, not showing any good expressions.
Right at this moment, a voice suddenly came from behind Chu Xiu, "Eh, brother Chu, why are you here? You are a saber user, what are you doing here? "
Chu Xiu turned around and saw Fang Qi Shao carrying his sword on his shoulder. On one side of the sword, there was a roasted chicken wrapped in oil paper, and on the other side of the sword hilt were two wine gourds.
The longsword that Seventh Young Master Fang was carrying was slightly different from his previous longswords. The hilt and scabbard of the sword were both azure in color and emitted a cold, eerie light. Even before it was unsheathed, one could already feel that it was different.
Chu Xiu heard the news before. Because Fang Qi Shao was promoted to the second rank of the Dragon Tiger Rankings, the Sword King City gave the divine weapon, the Divine Sword Awakening Salamander, to Fang Qi Shao in advance.
Chu Xiu looked around and Fang Qi Shao asked curiously, "Brother Chu, what are you looking at?"
"I'm seeing if the rest of the people from Sword King City are here. If they see you insulting the divine sword, they'll probably beat you up so badly that you won't even be able to drink."
Fang Qi Shao chuckled and said, "Since they gave it to me, it's still my sword even if it's broken. Anyway, it's my sword. I can use it however I want. It's none of their business."
As he spoke, Fang Qi Shao threw a wine gourd to Chu Xiu and said, "I forgot to say this. Congratulations on becoming a Martial Dao grandmaster. Don't forget that at least part of the credit goes to me."
Fang Qi Shao was talking about the fair fight between him and Chu Xiu when the Eastern Qi Alliance besieged him.
But in fact, that fight only increased Chu Xiu's understanding of the Heaven's Son Gazing At Air a little. Chu Xiu should thank Divine Lord Luo the most for being able to become a Martial Dao grandmaster.
Seeing Chu Xiu looking at him, Fang Qi Shao spread his hands and said, "Fine, not a part, but at least a little, right?"
Chu Xiu didn't answer. He just opened the wine gourd and took a sip, saying, "Didn't you get punished after returning to Sword King City last time? And why are you here? Didn't the people from Sword King City come with you? "
Fang Qi Shao opened the roasted chicken, broke off a drumstick, and handed it to Chu Xiu, saying, "Of course I didn't get punished. Do you think those old guys are willing to punish me? But after you and Zhang Chengzhen stepped into the Martial Dao grandmaster realm consecutively, those old guys are a little anxious. Even if they can't compete with you and Zhang Chengzhen, they can't fall below the third rank. They also know that it is useless to lock me up all day, so they let me out and let me search for opportunities and inspiration to step into the Martial Dao grandmaster realm. "
Chu Xiu took a glance at Fang Qi Shao's hand that was holding the drumstick. He didn't take it but tore off another drumstick from the roasted chicken.
Fang Qi Shao curled his lips and said, "Pretentious!"
"You haven't said, why are you here at Azure Wave Sword Sect? Also, what are these guys doing here? "
Chu Xiu took a bite of the drumstick and looked at Cheng Tingfeng and the others.
Fang Qi Shao asked in surprise, "Why? Aren't you here for the treasure left behind by Azure Wave Sword Sect? It is said that Shen Bai obtained that treasure, which is why he has the strength to challenge you. "
Hearing this, Chu Xiu immediately frowned and subconsciously exerted force in his hand. The drumstick was shattered by the trace of dipper qi that he accidentally leaked out.
Fang Qi Shao curled his lips again and said, "What a waste of food!"
